Are there tools for working overlapped fields?

Yes there are the EX Tools. These tools use a faster method of working on EXISTING fields.

• You must own all the relevant single layer tools up to 16x16 before you can by these tools.
  
  
• Tools for working overlapped crops ALWAYS have Ex in the name of the tool in the Store.
  There are...
  Ex Seeders
  Ex Harvesters
  Ex Combine Harvest-Plow tools
  Ex Combine Harvest-Plant tools
  
  These tools have both Highlight Mode and Extent Mode.
  
  
• There are NO EX Plow tools. You can not use these tools to create overlapped plots.
  Overlapping fields is still not officially supported by the developers.
  However if you do it on your farms or are working for other famers that overlap their crops these tools will help with working those overlapped fields faster. This method of working on exiting overlapped fields is very similar to using the Tree Shaker 20x20 to harvest up to 400 trees, or using the Fishing Turbo Boat 20 x 20 to harvest up to 400 overlapped water items in a squared area.

When using one of the EX tools instead of the Eye in the bottom right of the game screen, above your yellow toolbox, you will see the picture of the tool you have clicked on. This example is showing the EX 5x5 Combine.

When you click on the picture of your tool located above your yellow toolbox you will see a vertical toolbar with 3 options, that you can click on.
The White X at the bottom of the options just closes the menu.



The TOP icon, HIGHLIGHT MODE, changes to the tool to using the single layer method of highlighting each individual item. The amount it will highlight is determined by the size of single layer tool you also own. For example if you owned the 32x32 single layer tools you could highlight up to 1024 crops. If you only owned the 20x20 single layer crop tools you could highlight up to 400 crops.



When you use this method you will briefly see "Highlight mode selected" in white lettering near the top of the game screen.



The MIDDLE icon, EXTENT MODE, changes to the tool to using the New Method of using a YELLOW BOX to indicate a selected area of the farm. Anything within that YELLOW box will be worked on.

Extent method selects specific areas of a farm to work on with less manual mistakes then the highlight mode as you don't have to be as accurate with aligning the tool as it works on all crops within the yellow box. When using this method you will briefly see "Extent mode selected" in white lettering near the top of the game screen.
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.



When you use this method you will briefly see "Extent mode selected" in white lettering near the top of the game screen.

To use these tools, 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.


When you own at least one Combine Harvest-Plant tool, if you often plant more than one different crop on a farm or perhaps may have a farm with many different crops on it for Quest purposes and replant the same crops on it often, you may also like the upgrade to these tools. The upgrade enables a replant method so that you do not have to keep selecting different crops when you are planting the exact same ones.
