Q. What are the Transplanters?
There are Transplanters for moving or duplicating trees/flowers that are on a farm as long as those trees and flowers can be bought in the store and are NOT gift only. For example Cork Oak Tree and Glad flowers can not be bought from the Store.
There is also an Ex Transplanter. This tool can transplant or duplicate up to 1600 of most coin bought trees and flowers, waters, coin facilities, coin tools, in season decorations and any earned farm pass decorations that you may be using to decorate farms. It has different sizes you could use.
It also has Highlight or Extent mode. There are exceptions to what it can transplant or duplicate, so please make sure to read all the information before you purchase and then use this tool!
NOTE: None of the Transplanters, including the EX Transplanter, can move anything on a farm to different farm.
Transplanters
Transplanters are upgrades to the Multi Planter tools. They will transplant trees and or flowers from one part of the farm to another part of the same farm as long as you have enough clear space on your farm to move them to. To buy one of these you must first own the same size Multi Planter.
Example:
To buy the Transplanter 4x4, you must first own the Multi Planter 4x4
To buy the Transplanter 8x8, you must own both the Multi Planter 4x4, Multi Planter 8x8 and Transplanter 4x4.
4x4 Transplanter will move up to 16 trees or flowers.
8x8 Transplanter will move up to 64 trees or flowers.
12x12 Transplanter will move up to 144 trees or flowers.
16x16 Transplanter will move up to 256 trees or flowers.
24x24 Transplanter will move up to 576 trees or flowers.
32x32 Transplanter will move up to 1024 trees or flowers.
40x40 Transplanter will move up to 1600 trees or flowers.
Your Transplanter must be on the farm or in storage. It's always best to add your tools to your item storage so that you can use them on any of your farms and for when you want to upgrade to a bigger tool!!! Storing Farm Cash tools does not use any of your Item capacity.
There are methods to pick the Transplanter up to use:
- If the tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and in the menu that shows, click on "Transplant Items"
- If the tool is in your Item storage you can open your toolbox and click on the transplanter that you want to use.

Ex Transplanter
The Ex Transplanter is NOT a bigger size Transplanter!!
- IMPORTANT: It is possible to duplicate coin facilities and coin tools with the EX Transplanter.
Duplicating coin facilities does NOT change the rule that a duplicated facility behaves as decoration and does not provide more products than only one facility on the farm can. Some designers will use facilities as part of a design so may want more than one on a farm for decoration purposes.
If you do not need to duplicate a facility or coin tool on your farm for decorative purposes make sure that you remove the check marks for Show Regular Facilities, Show Service Facilities and Show Tools before you use the Duplicate option on the EX Transplanter.
When you duplicate Items, there is a brief notification that tells you how many items your are duplicating and the cost. Please pay attention to those figures!!!!
If you think you are only duplicating a few items and the amount of items it shows is much higher, consider if the possible reason could be due to hiding facilities underneath large decorative items, which can be one with some of the freestyle designers.
- Once you have placed any duplicated items the purchase can NOT be reversed.
- You will need enough clear space on your farm to move or duplicate items, if the items won't place show everything in your preferences to see if anything may be in the way of you placing them.
- The EX Transplanter has Highlight and Extent Mode. Highlight will highlight your items, Extent Mode shows a yellow squared area instead of highlighting the items. It will be up to you you to check which method will work better for what you want to transplant or Duplicate.
If you have never used Highlight or Extent mode on other tools, when you use the tool a copy of the tool will be bottom right of your game screen. Clicking on that icon shows you the Highlight and Extent mode options. The top one is Highlight. The one below with the yellow box is Extent. Click on the option you want to use and the menu will close.
