Default Whose Tools and Fuel does a Super-Neighbour Use?

Whose Tools and Fuel does a Super-Neighbour Use?



Super Neighbours can use their own plow tools, harvest tools, tree shakers, flower harvesters, fishing boats tools or yours if you own them to do farm work like crops, trees, flowers, fishing.

To be able to do this tools must be placed into Item storage.
There are some exceptions especially when it comes to watering flowers, irrigating, fertilising and the Freestyle Farm Designers.

A quick way for a Super Neighbours to know which tools they can use is to visit your farms after you make them a Super Neighbour and look in the yellow toolbox.
Anything greyed out is a tool that they can not use.

This may be due to permissions given, tools owned, not owned or rules about when a tool can be used and when it can't. These exceptions will be explained when needed.

Farm Cash items can never be sold or deleted by a Super Neighbour.

Super Neighbours can never store anything that is on your farms.


When you first set a Neighbour as a Super-Neighbour the default setting for the Fuel is:


You can change it if you wish.


To change the Fuel Setting:
  1. Click on whichever setting is showing and you will see all 3 options options:



    Let employee use my fuel first - uses the farm owners fuel first and if they run out uses the super neighbours fuel if they have any.
    This can help those starting out that don't have the ability to get much fuel yet, the farm owner may have plenty for them to use and could be helping a newer farmer out to level up get use to farming, using big tools etc.

    Let employee use my fuel last - uses the super neighbours fuel first and if they run out uses the farm owners fuel if they have any.
    This can also help when the farm owner is low on fuel but the super neighbour has plenty.

    Do not let employee use my fuel - the farm owners fuel will not be used at all so the super neighbour needs to have enough fuel to do all the work available.

  2. Scroll down to the Fuel setting you want to use and click on it.

  3. When you are done with changing the super neighbour settings, click the green check mark to save the change.

    OR Click the red X to cancel the change.


Whichever setting you chose remember that you need enough fuel to:
  • do the work on your own farms and use the bigger tools
  • use the bigger tools to work for others if you like to get hired and they don't have enough fuel
  • dispatching trains
  • dispatching ships
  • Store All button top right of the Facility Manager (Forklift)
  • manually cashing out service facilities, Cash Out All button top right of the Facility Manager (Armored Truck)

If you see a red background on any Super Neighbours picture in the Neighbours bar or the Neighbour you are a Super Neighbour for, please click on this link for full details on How to Set your Status as Unavailable
A farm owner being unavailable does not alter your current Super Neighbour permissions. Your SN permissions just can not be changed until the farm owner returns to the game.
