Default Can I use a too to Harvest Crops?

Q: Can I use a tool to Harvest crops?

A: Yes, there are several size tools that you can use to harvest. The 2x2 tools and above use fuel.

You must buy them in size order.
You must make sure that you place them into your Item Storage so that the game can see which ones you own AND for you to be able to use the bigger tools when working for others or when they work for you.

These tools are not for working overlapped crops faster AND Overlapping fields is still not officially supported by the developers BUT you must own all the sizes up to and including the 16x16 before you can buy your first EX Harvester to be able to plant overlapped fields faster.

For full details on ALL the crop tools tools that can work overlapped crops faster click on this link:
Are there tools for working overlapped fields?
  • You can harvest a single field at a time with your harvesting tool (the scythe).
  • You can harvest 2 fields at a time with the 2x1 harvester.
  • You can harvest 4 fields at a time with the 2x2 harvester.
  • You can harvest 9 fields at a time with the 3x3 harvester
  • You can harvest 16 fields at a time with the 4x4 harvester (FC item).
  • You can harvest 25 fields at a time with the 5x5 harvester (FC item).
  • You can harvest 36 fields at a time with the 6x6 harvester (FC item).
  • You can harvest 64 fields at a time with the 8x8 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 100 fields at a time with the 10x10 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 144 fields at a time with the 12x12 harvesterer (FC item)
  • You can harvest 196 fields at a time with the 14x14 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 256 fields at a time with the 16x16 harvester (FC item)

    When you own the 16x16 you meet the requirement to buy your first EX Harvester.

    If you are not overlapping crops you can continue buying the bigger size tools:

  • You can harvest 324 fields at a time with the 18x18 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 400 fields at a time with the 20x20 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 484 fields at a time with the 22x22 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 576 fields at a time with the 24x24 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 784 fields at a time with the 28x28 harvester (FC item)


    When you buy a bigger size tool you will see a popup telling you what you are about to buy, please make sure that you read it and especially note the name and size of the tool before you purchase.

    If you do not have Show Tools checked in your Show Preferences that will also be shown in the popup.

    If you are buying a tool bigger than the 16x16 there is another popup that will remind you that the tool is not an EX tool for working overlapped crops.
    Example:



To use tools bigger than the Scythe to harvest, 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" and then click on the fields.
  • 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.
