To open Farm Pass - Click on the Farm Pass icon located on the left upper side of your game screen.

The Icon will NOT show up if you are below Level 100 in the game.

The one located on your game screen has a time showing next to it.
It will be showing days at the beginning of a season then it starts counting down as the season gets closer to finishing. On the last day it will show you the hours and minutes left until the season is over.

Keep an eye on that time every now and then so you know how long you have to get any goals completed and any rewards claimed so that you can benefit from the rewards before the season ends and everything resets.
You can also access Farm Pass by clicking on your toolbox and then clicking on the Farm Pass icon at the top of the 2nd column on the left side.


You can also make the Farm Pass one of your tool shortcuts if you wish.

Farm Pass starts with showing you the Goals section.

At the top right of the window is a Question mark that you can click on to get a brief idea of how Farm Pass works.
There are 5 pages you can read. You can use the arrows on those pages to scroll though the pages.
Your goals will be different to other famers goals and the amounts required for each goal will differ as well. Daily Goals are generally easier to complete than Seasonal Goals as the seasonal ones earn you more points.

There is a time showing in both the Daily Goals section and the Seasonal Goals section.

The Daily Time helps you to know when new daily goals will be given. In this example there is over 17 hours left to complete the daily goals and then they will be replaced by new Daily Goals even if the goals were not completed in time.

The Seasonal Time are the weekly goals. In this example there is 6 days left before you will get more Seasonal Goals. With seasonal goals they are not replaced with new ones. You have much longer to complete these goals. Just keep an eye on that time in the last week in case you have a goal with very large amounts so you know how much time there is left to complete any goals and claim any rewards.


Example of some of the Goals:
There is a scroll bar at the bottom of the window that you will be able to use to scroll through them all as you get more goals to do.

Each Goal picture gives you an idea of what is required for that goal and if you mouseover goal it will show a tooltip with more information if you need it.

The figure at the top of each picture is the amount of points you would earn.
The figure at the bottom of each picture represents the progress you make with that goal.

In some cases where only a small amount is needed there will be two figures that show how many out of the amount you have done as you make progress with a goal.
Using the Green Grapes Seasonal goal with the blue seeder tool on it Black
That goal is to plant 2092 Green Grapes.
You can plant them with any tool that you own, in this case it doesn't matter what size tool you use, you could also use a Harvest-Plant combine if you wished.
The figure at the bottom shows with 0/2092 when none have been planted yet.
As you plant green grapes the 0 increases to show how many are done out of 2092.



On other goals which have far bigger numbers there will just be a zero showing at the bottom of the picture as there's not enough room to display two large numbers. In those cases the full amount needed is in the tooltip and the number under the picture increases from 0 up as you make progress with a goal.
This farmer has one of the larger goals to harvest 15360 flowers.
Only the flower tool is showing in the picture so this means that any flower can be harvested for the goal.
At the bottom of the picture only a 0 shows as there's no room to show 2 large figures. In this case you would mouseover the goal to see what the amount was that's needed.
As you harvest flowers the 0 increases to reflect the amount done.


If any Farm Pass Goal completes as you are playing or doing farm work
an animated completed indicator will briefly show right next to the Farm Pass icon top left of your game screen. Open the Farm Pass to check which goal has completed.
This is what it looks like. It doesn't matter if you miss seeing it. You won't see it every time depending on what you are doing in game.



We will show more examples of different goals and what the commonly used icons mean later in this chapter.



There are also two other sections.

Rewards will show you which rewards you could earn and is and where you go to claim any earned reward.
The Farm Pass Rewards are always shown on the top row and will be locked until a Farm Pass is bought.

The Free Rewards are always shown on the bottom row.

The horizontal brown bar with numbers in it, is an indicator of the points you have and what points are needed to claim a reward. The more points you earn, the more that bar will fill with blue to indicate how many points you have and how far until you have enough points to claim the next reward further along.

Rewards can be claimed in any order when you have enough points, you do not have to do them in the order that you see them and you do not have to claim any you might not want yet.
An easy way to spot if you have a Reward to claim is to look for the red icon on the Rewards tab:



Towards the end of the Season if the last reward in any row has not been claimed and is not a decoration you will be reminded with a popup to claim them.
Once you have claimed the last reward the reminder will no longer show up.


There is also a scroll bar at the bottom of the Rewards section that you can use to see all possible rewards as well as some chest icons you can use to scroll through them at a slower rate.



Privileges are Rewards that can increase what you are harvesting from your farms, harvesting from animals, making in facilities, trading, increase products from your ships and trains. There's even a weekly one for a neighbor to work you Non-workable facilities like mineral mines, bee farms etc. You earn these by completing goals to earn points.
Clicking on the Privileges section will show you a description of what each of the rewards.
There is also a scroll bar to the right of this window that you can use to see more the privileges.



When you claim one of those rewards the picture turns colourful so it's easy to see.
Example:

  • Buying the Farm Pass will cost cash.
  • You can not use your Farm Cash to buy the Farm Pass.
