Default What is the Flower Harvester?

Q: What is the Flower Harvester?

A: There are 15 flower harvesters.
They make it much easier to harvest the flowers than 1 at a time.
These tools use Fuel and can be used on other farms and when hired as long as you have placed them into your Item Storage.




Flower Harvester (3X3) - You MUST use the 3x3 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 9 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (8X4) - You MUST use the 8x4 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 32 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (8X8) - You MUST use the 8x8 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 64 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (12X8) - You MUST use the 12x8 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 96 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (12X12) - You MUST use the 12x12 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 144 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (16X12) - You MUST use the 12x16 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 192 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (16X16) - You MUST use the 16x16 layout with NO gaps in order to achieve all 256 flowers in 1 click.

Flower Harvester (20x20) - This Flower Harvester will harvest up to 400 flowers.
When selecting the new 20x20 Flower Harvester instead of the Eye in the bottom right you will see the current tool icon >>



When you click on that icon, you will see a vertical toolbar with 3 buttons.
The one in the top (Highlight) selects the old method of highlighting each individual item.
The one in the middle selects the New Method (Extent) of highlighting only the perimeter of the area where the tool will operate. Instead of highlighting all the flowers, this new method will just highlight a fixed squared section of the farm which works faster and with less manual mistakes. When you use this method you will briefly see "Extent mode selected" in white lettering near the top of the game screen.
The bottom button closes the box.



Also, the tool will always operate as if the Eye was closed, meaning, the recently worked items will be hidden once the work on them is completed..

Flower Harvester (24x24) - This flower harvester will harvest up to 576 flowers in 1 click and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Flower Harvester (28x28) - This flower harvester will harvest up to 784 flowers in 1 click and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Flower Harvester (32x32) - This flower harvester will harvest up to 1024 flowers in 1 click and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Flower Harvester (36x36) - This flower harvester will harvest up to 1296 flowers in 1 click and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Flower Harvester (40x40) - This flower harvester will harvest up to 1600 flowers in 1 click and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Flower Harvester (44x44) - This flower harvester will harvest up to 1936 flowers in 1 click and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

Flower Harvester (48x48) - This flower harvester will harvest up to 2304 flowers in 1 click and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

To use the Flower Harvester, the tool must be on the farm or in storage.

You can do 2 things. . .
  • If the tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and click "Harvest Flowers" and then click on the item.
  • However, it is better to place all tools into your Storage. That way you can access all your tools from the Yellow Tool box, on any of your farms, without having to move the tool from farm to farm. Once they are in Storage, you can click on the Yellow Toolbox to open it, and then click on the tool you want to use.
  • NOTE: Farm Cash Tools do not count towards your storage capacity, you can store as many of those as you want.

You can also use the Sythe (single harvest tool) to harvest flowers one at a time, if you don't own the tools. To select the Sythe, click on the Yellow Toolbox and select the tool.
