UPDATE March 25,2024 - Added 2 new ways to send a gift to a specific neighbour, buddy or friend:

a) Using the new red Gift Box icon when reading an offline message
b) Using the Send Gift menu option from your neighbour bar

UPDATE April 5,2024 - Added a 'Seasonal Gifts' checkbox to the 'Send Gifts' section of the Gift Manager to hide and show Holiday gifts.

- Added Gift Box capacity and usage stats to the top left corner of the Gift Manager. If your Gift Box capacity can still be expanded you can click the green + sign to buy the required 'Gifting Machine' tool and expand the capacity.

- Added a 'Last Exchange All' button to the 'Pending Gifts' section of the Gift Manager, this will automatically perform an Exchange All using the last exchanged gift.

There is a link you can click to Hide posts or Include posts from Farmers that have you as a Neighbour or Buddy but are not your Neighbour or Buddy yet. Only the friends that you had on Facebook if you registered before 24th July,2023 will be showing up. This will likely no longer be useful in the future as your current Facebook friends list can no longer be updated to Farm Town.

a) Increased maximum amount of posts from 150 to 200

b) Replaced all broken 'Send a gift' links by 'Visit Farm' links

c) Show only one 'farm expansion' post per farmer

d) Show only one 'new level reached' post per farmer

e) Show only 5 'gift requests' posts per farmer.


Send a Requested gift in the Website Other Wall Requests.
When you click on the Send XXX you will then see in Gift Sent red text.
When you next reload the Other Wall Requests that sent gift will show a pink background as usual.

a) Increased maximum amount of posts from 150 to 200
b) If a farmer already has all her facilities empty, we will hide that post most of the time


Older changes:
Multiple facility posts from the same farmer in this section of My Requests are now hidden so that only the most recent posts (one for production facilities, one for service facilities) shows at any time.

The older Facility Requests that they posted earlier are automatically removed. This means you will see more Facility Requests from different farmers on that page and it still allows those that like to post them much more frequently than others do, to continue doing that.

New accounts can only can send as much Farm Cash as they have bought themselves. Farm Cash earned by leveling up or any other way can no be sent to other players.

Rules for accounts created BEFORE 28th July 2023 remain the same.

• For other farmers to work YOUR facilities, after you post them.
  ONLY the farmers that have you as a Neighbour OR Buddy will see your posts.
  (THEY can see YOU in the Neighbours bar at the bottom of their game screen
  OR THEY can see YOU in their Buddy List)
  
  
• For YOU to work other farmers facilities, after they post them.
  YOU will see ONLY the posts from farmers that YOU have as a Neighbour OR Buddy.
  (YOU can see them in the Neighbours bar at the bottom of YOUR game screen
  OR YOU can see them in YOUR own Buddy List)
  
  
  No connection within Farm Town on the website means that they are NOT ANY of these:
  
  
• Not one of your Neighbours
• Not one of your Buddies
• You are not one of their Neighbours
• You are not one of their Buddies
  
  Which means that they:
  
  
• can not work your facilities as they won't be able to see them
• you won't see their facility posts to be able to work them
• you can't send train boosts to them as they won't be shown as part of the neighbour or buddy lists
• they can't send you train boosts as you won't be shown as part of their neighbour or Buddy lists.
  
  This lack of a connection can also affect other features within the game that requires it.

• You will see posts in the Facility Wall Requests and Other Wall Requests for those you have added as a Neighbour and also for those you have added as a Buddy.
  You will not see posts for anyone else.
  
  
• If a friend has you as one of their Neighbours OR one of their Buddies they can see your posts. If they are NOT a Neighbour for you and are not on your Buddy List either, you do not have any connecting with them, so you can't see their posts!
  
  
• Ships, when the Neighbour connection is only at their end you can still receive their Ships. You can not put them on your Logbook until they are one of your Neighbours.
  
  
• Trains, when the connection is only at their end you can still receive their Trains, but you can not send them a Train boost until they are one of your Neighbours OR one of your Buddies.
  
  
• Currently Neighbours and Buddies don't earn the Bonus Chest when hired at market - methods are being researched on how to identify when someone you hire is a neighbour or buddy so that rewards for hiring a stranger (extra box) and being hired by a stranger (bonus chest) can still be earned.
  
  
• Neighbours can only see your super facility trading buckets in the Sell Super Facility Products to Neighbours section.
  
  
• In the NCC you can send Thanks to Neighbours and Buddies.
  
  
• You can ONLY use Neighbours to BOTH Import and Export from in the Facility Chains
  If someone has a you as one of their Neighbours, but you do NOT have them as your Neighbour. You can Import from them, but you can NOT Export to them.
  
  
• To get the maximum amount of different friends to interact with in the Website, you need different friends on each List. Ideally, you don't want the same friend on both lists (as one of your own Neighbours and is also on your own Buddy List).

  Meaning, that.....
  
  

  • If you already see a friend in your own Neighbour bar at the bottom of the game screen, you do not need to have them on your own Buddy list as well. That would just use a space which could be used to connect with someone else that isn't already one of your Neighbours or one of your Buddies.
    
    
  • If a current neighbour sends you a Buddy Request, you can still accept it so that they have a connection with you, but you do not need to add them as a Buddy as well as you already have them as your Neighbour.
    
    
  • Remember, that some features of the game you may want help with, can only be done with Neighbours. It will be up to you to decide who can help you with what you like to do in the game to know who to put on which list.

You can send a Train Boost to your own Neighbours or own Buddies.
(YOU can see them in the Neighbours bar at the bottom of YOUR game screen
OR YOU can see them in YOUR own Buddy List)

Anyone that has YOU as their Neighbour or Buddy can send you a Train Boost.
(THEY can see YOU in the Neighbours bar at the bottom of their game screen
OR THEY can see YOU in their Buddy List)

You are seeing this because you do not have that farmer as one of your own Neighbours and they are not on your Buddy List.

They are able to send you one as you ARE either on their Neighbours List or on their Buddy List.
This is likely to be:

• a friend you currently have on the Facebook,
• or had at some point (possibly a forgotten friend, someone who stopped playing and now plays
• it's stranger that had sent you a Neighbour or Buddy request that you accepted.
  As well as Add Buddy there is an Add Neighbour option in the Avatar menu.
• or the more uncommon reason. It could be someone you forgot to go remove yourself as their Neighbour and Buddy before breaking the Facebook friend connection.

This is an Example of Train Boosts received in the Train Manager:

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/WEB G...6 APR 2023.png

Dara has been able to send this farmer a train boost because she has a connection to that farmer, either as a Neighbour OR as a Buddy.

The farmer she sent it to does NOT have Dara as a Neighbour OR as a Buddy so it shows Manage on her Train Boost when she sends it to them.

As the Train Boost shows Manage to the farmer she sent it to. They can Boost that train,
BUT what they can NOT do is return the favour and send a Boost back to them,
UNLESS they click on Manage and add them as a Neighbour OR a Buddy.

This is what it can look like when you click on Manage.
Your percentages are likely to be different.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/WEB G...AGE SENDER.png

These examples are the different brief notifications you could see when adding a farmer to a List depending on if your List has room to add them or is Full.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/WEB G...AGE SENDER.png

When you click on Request Boost on one of your OWN Trains to send Boosts to farmers you will see this type of window:

The All Farmers Filter when clicked on allows you to change the Lists to specific friends.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/WEB G...3 MAY 2023.png

Do NOT select farmers in one list and then switch to different list before Sending Boost Requests.
This works the same way as the Facebook version. It does not remember who was selected in a previous list, when you change the list without sending a Request the selected farmers revert to Unselected.
You are not likely to notice that this happens unless a farmer happens to meet the criteria for showing up in several different lists so that you can see them in more than one.
If you like to use several lists, please Send the Requests using one list BEFORE you change the list to a different filter.


The Search box at the top allows you to search for specific friends by typing in their First name or Avatar names.


The AZ Filter:
https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg... JULY 2023.png

Selected Stay in Place Using this filter means that when you select a farmer to send to they stay in the same position in the list.

Selected Move to Top Using this filter means that when you select a farmer, they then move to the top of the list, which can be useful if you want to check the list again before you send the gifts.

Selected Move to Bottom This setting is the Default Setting. Using this filter means that when you select a farmer, they then move to the bottom of the list.
This can be useful when you want to send gifts to all farmers or lot of farmers. When you click Select on the farmer top left of the list, that farmer moves down to the bottom of the list and the next farmer appears in it's place allowing you to continually Select farmers without scrolling until you have selected the maximum of 50 farmers.

This behaviour is very similar to how the farmers lists in the Facebook Send Gifts works.

If you made a mistake and selected the wrong farmer Clicking on Unselect will remove that farmer and change the button back to Select.

At the bottom middle of that window as you Select friends the 0 changes and starts counting how many you selected.
This helps you know how many boosts you are sending at that particular time.

The Unselect All button at the bottom, lets you Unselect all the farmers before you Send the Boosts if you think you made a a lot of mistakes and wanted to start over.

This is likely to be:

• a friend you currently have on Facebook,
• or a friend that you had on Facebook at some point (possibly a forgotten friend, someone who stopped playing and now plays
• it's stranger that you allowed to add you as a buddy
• it's a stranger that you allowed to add you as on of their Neighbours with the new Add Neighbour method using the Avatar menu.
• or the more uncommon reason. It could be someone you forgot to go remove yourself as their Neighbour and Buddy.

The Avatar Appearance can be changed in many ways.
Each of the 8 sections allows you to altar it's appearance.

The section that has an orange background is the section you are looking at.
There are arrows that will appear to the left or right so you can see more options if more are available. When you want to select an option click on it and the avatar show to the left will show you what that will look like.

To change sections click on the name of that section, the background will turn orange and it will show you the options for that section.

Example of Female Avatar. Viewing Hair Section

Example of Male Avatar. Vowing Skin Section

Be very careful in the clothes section. When you first load the game you won't be able to buy some of the clothes as they cost more Farm Cash than you start out with, but you may want to change your avatar clothes at a later time when you do have enough. You may want to save what Farm Cash you have earned for other items until you are familiar with the game.

You can click on the clothes to see what they look like before you Buy BUT if you make a mistake and click on BUY, if you have enough Farm Cash to cover the cost of the clothes you will be buying them and that can not be reversed.

  https://r1.slashkey.com/images/WEB G...E PRODUCTS.png
  
  
  Remember:
  
  • You can Import AND Export to Neighbours.
    
    
  • Buddies can Export to you as they have you as one of their Neighbours,
    BUT you can NOT export to them until you add them as a Neighbour.
    
    Converting a Buddy to a Neighbour can be done from your Buddy List NOT from the Facility Chains! If you would like a reminder on how to that with the Buddy List CLICK HERE

When you click on Manage, as long as you have room in either your neighbour List or your Buddy List you can add them as a Neighbour or Buddy.

This is what it can look like:
Your percentages are likely to be different.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/WEB G...AGE SENDER.png

When you are able to add them as a Neighbour or Buddy, no permission is required their end to accept it, as at some point you had already given permission for them to have you as one of their Neighbours so there is already a connection on their side.

These examples are the different brief notifications you could see when adding a farmer to a List depending on if your List has room to add them or is Full.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/WEB G...AGE SENDER.png


Remember that on the Website:

• you can still remove your Neighbours via your Neighbour bar at the bottom of your game screen.
  
  
• you can still remove Buddies using the yellow Bulldozer in your Buddy List.

In this example there are 5 different types of gifts waiting to be stored/used.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...GAME BAR 5.png

• A number on the Gift Manager will ONLY show when you have received ingredients/bonuses, and when you have accepted gifts in the Pending Section of the Gift Manager.
  
  
• If you have no ingredients or bonuses and have not accepted gifts yet from the Pending Gifts section, there will not be any number showing up on the Gift Manager.
  
  
• You have to exchange/accept Pending Gifts before they will show up in the My Gifts section for you to use/store.

The My Gifts section shows you any ingredients and bonuses that you have been sent PLUS any gifts that you have accepted via the Pending Gifts section that you haven't used/stored yet. These gifts were sent using the Send Gifts section of the Gift Manager or when sent via the Other Wall wall requests page.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...USAGE PLUS.png Top left is your current Gift Box Capacity and Usage numbers.
Capacity is the maximum your gift box can hold. Usage is how much of that capacity you have already got in your giftbox which can be a combination of multiple gifts, different gifts, bonuses and ingredients.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...NAGER/PLUS.png If your Gift Box capacity can still be expanded you can click the green + sign to buy the required 'Gifting Machine' tool and expand the capacity.

• If you own some, not all of the Gifting Machines that expand Giftbox Capacity and those tools are in your Item Storage, you will see a different colour gifting machine to buy.
  
  
• When you own all of the tools that expand Giftbox capacity the PLUS sign does not show up.
  
  This farmer does not own ANY Gifting Machines so they see the Purple Gifting Machine is needed:

Farm Pass - Also top left, is the Farm Pass icon.
It is silver in colour if you have not earned and claimed the Farm Pass Privilege for 2 times as many gifts from friends. When you have earned and claimed that Privilege it will be gold.

Example of gifts, ingredients, bonus in the My Gifts Section:

Top right are two filters that you can use to show specific gifts.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...NG FILTERS.png https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...AZ FILTERS.png

Store Ingredients sends all Fuel, gifts of products that can be used in facilities, ingredients and bonuses to your Harvest & Products Storage with one click.

Store Animals sends all animals to animal sheds on the farm that you are on with one click, IF your animal sheds have enough room for them.

Store Plants sends any Gifted Trees/Flowers to your Item Storage with one click, assuming your Item Storage Capacity is not full AND you have enough room to store them all.

Default - sent gifts are listed first, ingredients and bonuses below those.

Alphabetically - orders them in Alphabetical order


As you mouseover the gifts you will see various options to store/use or multi-plant depending on what the gift is.

Gifted trees, flowers, decorations:

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...EE OPTIONS.png

Multi allows you to multi-plant gifted trees or flowers that can be harvested/chopped instead of placing them one by one using Multi-Planters that you own. When you click on Multi it shows you different size multi-planter options.
You can not multi-plant decorative items. Those must be placed one at a time.

Use will let you place them one at a time on your farm.

More will let you post a request to the Other Wall Request page to ask your Neighbours and Buddies to send you that specific gift, which you may want to do when you need more of them or for Farm Pass goals.


Gifted Animals:

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...AL OPTIONS.png

Store If you have room in your animal sheds on the farm that you are on, you can use Store to send animals to their sheds on that farm. It will store the amount that you have been sent IF you have room to add them in the relevant animal shed.

Use will let you place them one at a time on your farm.

More will let you post a request to the Other Wall Request page to ask your Neighbours and Buddies to send you that specific gift, which you may want to do when you need more of them or for Farm Pass goals.


Gifted Fuel and products that can be used in Facilities:

The Send Gifts section is where you can send a gift to farmers that you have on your Neighbours List and your Buddies List. If the tab is not orange, click on it to view it.

You will see a list of gifts. At Seasonal times it will also show you Seasonal Gifts.

Example:

There is a scroll bar to the right that you can use to scroll through all the gifts.

Near the top of that window is a search box you can type in to search for a specific gift or several to choose from instead of scrolling to find one.

Using the example below you could send pork to some friends, then once those are sent you could then select the eggs to send to other friends and so on, which can save you time when farmers would like different specific gifts, perhaps for Farm Pass goals.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...FTS SEARCH.png

Also top right of that window are 2 filters that you can click on to see specific types of gifts so that you only see those types of gifts. The AZ filter lets you change between the Default view and Alphabetical order.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...RE OPTIONS.png

When you have found the gift that you want to send, click on the Blue Select button.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...GER/SELECT.png

You will then see the Select Friends window listing all your Neighbours and Buddies.

First Names and Avatar Names will be showing along with profile pictures if they have one. If they do not have a profile picture then an Avatar picture will be showing or a generic grey profile outline.

Blue Backgrounds are your Neighbours, Green Backgrounds are your Buddies.

There is scroll bar to the right if you want to scroll through the list.

The Search bar allows you to type in names or avatar names if you only want to send to specific friends.
Blue background is a Neighbour, Green background is a Buddy, Red background means that farming friend has set their status to Unavailable for at least one day. They may be away for a short while or longer. Mouseover their profile picture and you will see a date or time for when they will return. It will be up to you if you want to send a gift to them or not.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...H FEB 2024.png

There are also filters at the top that you can use:

On the left All Farmers can be clicked on so you can change the list to specific types of farmers:

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...TS OPTIONS.png

NOTES:
My Facebook Friends no longer updates as the game is no longer on Facebook. Anyone without a Blue or Green background is not on either your Neighbour List or your Buddy List. This option may be removed very soon, so make sure that you have added any friends showing in that list that you want to continue playing with, as a Neighbour or Buddy. If you delete a farmer from the Facebook lists section you can not add them back to that particular list at a later time.

Farmers that have you as a Neighbour anyone showing up in this list with a White Background has you as a Neighbour, but you do NOT have them as a Neighbour or a Buddy.

Farmers that have you as a Buddy anyone showing up in this list with a White Background has you as a Buddy, but you do NOT have them as a Neighbour or a Buddy.

As you mouseover the list each option will turn yellow, click on the option you want to use.


On the right the AZ can be clicked on to change the behaviour when selecting farmers:

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg... JULY 2023.png

Selected Stay in Place means that when you select a farmer to send to, they stay in the same position in the list.

Selected Move to Top means that when you select a farmer, they then move to the top of the list, which can be useful if you want to check the list again before you send the gifts.

Selected Move to Bottom This is the Default Setting. When you select a farmer, they then move to the bottom of the list.

This can be useful when you want to send gifts to all farmers or lot of farmers. When you click Select on the farmer top left of the list, that farmer moves down to the bottom of the list and the next farmer appears in it's place allowing you to continually Select farmers without scrolling until you have selected the maximum of 50 farmers.

To send a gift to Individual farmers you can click on the Select in each farmers box to Select that Farmer to send a gift to.
The background will turn pink on each farmer and the Select button will change to a dimmed out Unselect button.
If you make a mistake you can click on Unselect to deselect a farmer.
You can select up to 50 farmers one at a time with this method.

As you select farmers the Select bottom left of the window will decrease from 50 and the counter in the bottom center of the window will increase in number to show you how many you selected.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...CT METHODS.png

To send Up to 50 farmers with one click, you can use the Select 50 at the bottom left of the window which will select the first 50 farmers in your list.
The number showing can be less when you have less farmers to send gifts to.
The background will turn pink on all selected farmers and the Select button will change to a dimmed out Unselect button.
The Select 50 button will no longer show when the maximum amount has been selected.
If you make a mistake you can click on Unselect to deselect one or more farmers OR you can start over by clicking on the Unselect All at the bottom of the window.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...T 50 ARROW.png




To send the gift click on Send Request at the bottom of right of the window.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...ND REQUEST.png

A brief notification will show towards the top of the window.
This notification shows hens eggs sent to 2 farmers:

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg... 2 FARMERS.png

The Gifts you can select to send then will show up again, should you need to send more gifts.

The Pending Gifts tab will have a number on it when you have gifts to accept/exchange. If the tab is not orange, click on it to view it.

The maximum amount of Gifts that the Pending Gift section of the Gift Manager will keep will be 5000, the rest will be automatically deleted.

Pending gifts that are not accepted in a 60 day time frame will be removed automatically.

This had to be done due to too many players keeping too many gifts without accepting them which has a negative impact on our database storage.

Please keep in mind the amount of Neighbours and Buddies that you have that could be sending you gifts daily and that farmers that own the gifting machines will be able to send gifts more often than others could. If you have a considerable amount of gifts Pending, the safest thing to do is to accept them regularly.

You have to accept gifts in the Pending section, before you will be able to see, store or use them in the My Gifts section. Once you have accepted them here you can not exchange them again!

You can also Return gifts to farmers after accepting them, if you have not already sent them a gift.

If you see Manage instead of Neighbour or Buddy under any profile/avatar picture that means that farmer has YOU on their Neighbour or Buddy List but you do not have them on either your own Neighbour or Buddy list.

In order for you to be able to send them a gift you will need to click on Manage and add them to whichever list you choose that you have room to add them to.
To see an example of how to use Manage, click on this link:
https://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showth...22#post6542722

Example of some gifts:

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...E APR 2024.png


At the top of Pending Gifts are 3 buttons:

Accept All Accepts up to a maximum of 100 gifts that you have received and will be sent to the My Gifts section for you to use/store.

If you are able to Return Gifts to those Farmers you will then also see the Send Gift Back to All button which you can click on which will show the gift list again for you to select one gift to return to all of the farmers that you have not already sent a gift to.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...ACK TO ALL.png

Exchange All Exchanges up to the first 100 gifts. You will be shown the Select Item window so you can choose the gift that you want.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...ELECT ITEM.png

The search bar is where you can type in the name of a gift OR you can click on the Funnel Filter and use one of those to filter the gifts by type.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...ND FILTERS.png

As you mouseover a gift the background turns yellow and the Select button appears.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...GGS YELLOW.png

Click on Select on a gift to exchange your gifts for that gift.

Your gifts will be exchanged and you can use the Accept All at the top of the window to send them to the My Gifts section for you to use/store.

Once you have accepted your gifts there is a Load More Gifts button you can click on to see if you have more gifts to accept.

When you have exchanged all gifts for a specific gift the Last Exchange All button will no longer be dimmed out and you can then click on it to automatically change the next page of gifts for the exact same gift. After clicking on it, remember to Accept the Gifts!

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...E ALL BOTH.png


If you do not want to accept/exchange ALL gifts, you can use the individual Accept and Exchange buttons on each gift to accept/exchange gifts one at a time.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...T EXCHANGE.png

Accept sends that gift to My Gifts without exchanging it.

Exchange will let you exchange that specific gift for something else.

When you click on Exchange you will see the list of gifts.
Click on the blue Select button on the gift that you want to change it for.
That will change the gift.
Then you click on Accept to send it to the My Gifts section.
