Default What is the Fishing Boat?

Q: What is the Fishing Boat?
A: The Fishing Boats are used to make it easier to fish. These tools use fuel.



These Fishing Boats do NOT have Extent Mode they only have Highlight Mode:



These Turbo Boats have BOTH Highlight Mode and Extent Mode:



Important note about overlapped waters and Fishing!!!!
Some farmers will have overlapped waters on and off the edges of their farms. If you have them on your own farms or are hired to work them, you will need to own the Turbo Fishing boat in order to be able to catch every single fish in those waters. Hired workers can use the farm owners turbo boat as long as the boat they have allowed the use of their Tools in the hire. You will also need Fuel.


The Fishing Boat (2x2) allows you to catch up to 4 fish each time you click.
** The Fishing Boat (2x2) can NOT be used on other farms when hired **

The Fishing Boat (3x3) allows you to catch up to 9 fish each time you click.

The Fishing Boat (5x5) allows you to catch up to 25 fish each time you click.

The Turbo Fishing Boat allows you to fish each body of water with a single click.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (4x4) allows you to fish up to 16 overlapped waters in a squared area the size of 1 plowed field with a single click.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (8x8) allows you to fish up to 64 overlapped waters in a squared area the size of 4 plowed fields with a single click.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (12x12) allows you to fish up to 144 overlapped waters in a squared area the size of 9 plowed fields with a single click.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (16x16) allows you to fish up to 256 overlapped waters in a squared area the size of 16 plowed fields with a single click.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (20x20) - allows you to catch all fish in a squared area the size of 25 plow fields (5x5 area) using a new method of fishing.
When selecting the new Turbo Boat 20x20 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 waters, 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..

The Turbo Fishing Boat (24x24) - allows you to catch all fish in a squared area the size of 36 plow fields (6x6 area) and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (28x28) - allows you to catch all fish in a squared area the size of 49 plow fields (7x7 area) and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (32x32) - allows you to catch all fish in a squared area the size of 64 plow fields (8x8 area) and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (36x36) - allows you to catch all fish in a squared area the size of 81 plow fields (9x9 area) and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (40x40) - allows you to catch all fish in a squared area the size of 100 plow fields (10x10 aera)and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (44x44) - allows you to catch all fish in a squared area the size of 121 plow fields (11x11 area) and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (48x48) - allows you to catch all fish in a squared area the size of 144 plow fields (12x12 area) and uses the new faster method of harvesting as described above.



To use tools bigger than the Fishing Rod to fish, 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 "Fish" and then click on the waters.
  • 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 fishing rod to fish 1 at a time if you don't own the tools. To select the fishing rod, click on the Yellow Toolbox and select the tool.
