Description of connections with farmers you need to know!

The last tine you loaded Farm Town on Facebook is likely to be the last time your Facebook friends list in the Farmers List was updated to the Website.
Any friends that you have not added to your Neighbour or Buddy list will show up in the Friends List Manager, Facebook Friends section under Non-Neighbour or Buddy.
NEW Facebook friends added since the game was deactivated on Facebook on July 24th, 2023 will not show up!


To maximize the amount of farmers you interact with it's better not to add the same farmer as both a Neighbour and also as a Buddy.
Keeping different farmers on the Buddy List than you have as your Neighbour gives you more farmers that can help you.

You will need to know the different types of connection that you can have in the game for Neighbours (one way connection, mutual connection), those that are Buddies.
Then you will be able to know what you can do with Facebook Friends that have no connection to you at all within the game.
Within the game you will see in various areas First names and their Facebook profile pictures.
You will also be able to add non-Facebook friends as Neighbours or Buddies on the Website which you won't be friends with on Facebook.

Don't panic, we will show you the differences!

The example below shows who can and can't work facilities:

• For other farmers to work YOUR facilities, after you post them.
  ONLY the farmers that have you as a Neighbour OR Buddy will see your posts.
  (THEY can see YOU in the Neighbours bar at the bottom of their game screen
  OR THEY can see YOU in their Buddy List)
  
  
• For YOU to work other farmers facilities, after they post them.
  YOU will see ONLY the posts from farmers that YOU have as a Neighbour OR Buddy.
  (YOU can see them in the Neighbours bar at the bottom of YOUR game screen
  OR YOU can see them in YOUR own Buddy List)
  
  
  No connection within Farm Town on the website means that they are NOT ANY of these:
  
  
• Not one of your Neighbours
• Not one of your Buddies
• You are not one of their Neighbours
• You are not one of their Buddies
  
  Which means that they:
  
  
• can not work your facilities as they won't be able to see them
• you won't see their facility posts to be able to work them
• you can't send train boosts to them as they won't be shown as part of the neighbour or buddy lists
• they can't send you train boosts as you won't be shown as part of their neighbour or Buddy lists.
  
  This lack of a connection can also affect other features within the game that requires it.

When you are considering who to add as a Neighbour and who you only need to add to your own Buddy List, keep the following in mind:

• You will see posts in the Facility Wall Requests and Other Wall Requests for those you have added as a Neighbour and also for those you have added as a Buddy.
  You will not see posts for anyone else.
  
  
• If a friend has you as one of their Neighbours OR one of their Buddies they can see your posts. If they are NOT a Neighbour for you and are not on your Buddy List either, you do not have any connecting with them, so you can't see their posts!
  
  
• Ships, when the Neighbour connection is only at their end you can still receive their Ships. You can not put them on your Logbook until they are one of your Neighbours.
  
  
• Trains, when the connection is only at their end you can still receive their Trains, but you can not send them a Train boost until they are one of your Neighbours OR one of your Buddies.
  
  
• Currently Neighbours and Buddies don't earn the Bonus Chest when hired at market - methods are being researched on how to identify when someone you hire is a neighbour or buddy so that rewards for hiring a stranger (extra box) and being hired by a stranger (bonus chest) can still be earned.
  
  
• Neighbours can only see your super facility trading buckets in the Sell Super Facility Products to Neighbours section.
  
  
• In the NCC you can send Thanks to Neighbours and Buddies.
  
  
• You can ONLY use Neighbours to BOTH Import and Export from in the Facility Chains
  If someone has a you as one of their Neighbours, but you do NOT have them as your Neighbour. You can Import from them, but you can NOT Export to them.
  
  
• To get the maximum amount of different friends to interact with in the Website, you need different friends on each List. Ideally, you don't want the same friend on both lists (as one of your own Neighbours and is also on your own Buddy List).

  Meaning, that.....
  
  

  • If you already see a friend in your own Neighbour bar at the bottom of the game screen, you do not need to have them on your own Buddy list as well. That would just use a space which could be used to connect with someone else that isn't already one of your Neighbours or one of your Buddies.
    
    
  • If a current neighbour sends you a Buddy Request, you can still accept it so that they have a connection with you, but you do not need to add them as a Buddy as well as you already have them as your Neighbour.
    
    
  • Remember, that some features of the game you may want help with, can only be done with Neighbours. It will be up to you to decide who can help you with what you like to do in the game to know who to put on which list.

Increasing Current capacity limits for both Neighbours and Buddies has already been increased!!
