![]() What is a Super Neighbour? The main purpose for having a Super Neighbour is to allow you to select one (or may be a few) Neighbours that will be permanently hired to work your farms when you go on vacation or have to be absent from the game for a while. A Super Neighbour will be able to access any of your farms that are not set as Private, at any time, to work them without the need for you to be present. As well as regular farm work there are additional permissions you can set for them, like planting, designing a specific farm for you, train management if needed. There are some limitations on tool usage when designing and when watering/irrigation farms. You can also make use of the Super-Neighbour Manager to set some crops that you want planted on a per farm basis. The Super Neighbors Limit is based on Neighbours ID's. Approximately 20 Super Neighbors should be fine. If you try to add a super neighbour and have run out of room to add any more you should see a popup informing you of that. You will likely often see farmers refer to Super-Neighbours as SNs. If you choose to make a neighbor a super Neighbor, please make sure that you communicate with them exactly what it is you want them to do, especially if you are allowing them to use your coins. We have seen many complaints that SN's are doing what they want with the farms and NOT what the farm owner wants done! How do I make a neighbour a Super Neighbour? Click on your Neighbours picture in the panel at the bottom of your game screen. Then click on Set as Super-Neighbour.
There are Exceptions when you set your farm with different farm level permissions, for watering of flowers: ONLY set as a Quest Farm. The Allow Planting option will allow them to plant your fields with any crop that your game level allows using your coins. If the Farm Owner has designated a specific crop or specific type of crop, to plant on a specific farm or farms a Super Neighbour can ONLY plant those crops. How to set farms to specific crops will be explained in the Super-Neighbour Manager post later in this Chapter. Once you have set a Neighbour as a Super Neighbour, they will have a coloured dot in their box in the neighbours bar.
To Remove the SN permissions: Click on your Neighbours picture in the panel at the bottom of your game screen. What you and your Super Neighbour earns when they work your farms, Fuel Usage, how to use the Super Neighbour Manager, Permanently hired for Designing and Permanently Hired for Train Management are explained in posts later in this Chapter.

![]() What does a Super Neighbour earn, What do I earn? Super Neighbours do not earn the Bonus Chest. The bonus Chest is a reward for strangers going to market to be hired and was introduced when the demand for workers needed to be increased. Harvesting crops: Farm owner gets large boxes per item instead of regular boxes. Large boxes sell for more coins at market. Trees, flowers and fishing: Farm owner gets large boxes per item instead of regular boxes. Large boxes sell for more coins at market. Planting Seeds: You only have the ability to plant for someone else when you are a Super Neighbour for a neighbour AND your neighbour has given you permission to plant for them. Plowing Plowing costs the farm owner 10c per plot for existing plots OR plowing new plots with the design permission enabled that allows plowing of new plots.

![]() Whose Tools and Fuel does a Super-Neighbour Use? Super Neighbours can use their own plow tools, harvest tools, tree shakers, flower harvesters, fishing boats tools or yours if you own them to do farm work like crops, trees, flowers, fishing. To be able to do this tools must be placed into Item storage. There are some exceptions especially when it comes to watering flowers, irrigating, fertilising and the Freestyle Farm Designers. When you first set a Neighbour as a Super-Neighbour the default setting for the Fuel is:
Whichever setting you chose remember that you need enough fuel to:
If you see a red background on any Super Neighbours picture in the Neighbours bar or the Neighbour you are a Super Neighbour for, please click on this link for full details on How to Set your Status as Unavailable A farm owner being unavailable does not alter your current Super Neighbour permissions. Your SN permissions just can not be changed until the farm owner returns to the game. Last edited by Tiger; Feb 29 2024 at 08:14 AM. |

![]() Permanently Hired for Design allows a Super-Neighbour to design the farm of your choice without the need for you to be present. ![]() Your Super Neighbour will be able to:
The default setting for which farm to design is set by default to the Current farm. This is either one of your farms that you are currently on or if you are not a home will be set to your default farm. If you change your default farm, it does NOT automatically change that Current Farm setting to whatever farm you change your default farm to. Allow Buying and Selling Items With My Coins: Allows them to buy any coin items unlocked to your level, using your coins, both of you will earn XP for what is bought.
Your super neighbour will NOT be able to...
A quick way for an SN to know what tools they are allowed to use on your farms is for them to go to your farm and look in the Tool box. Any tools they are allowed to use on your farms will show up when they look in their toolbox. Any tools that are greyed out, they do not have access to.

![]() Allow Management of Trains The Super Neighbour setting for Allow Management of Trains will allow your Super Neighbour to manage your trains. This includes dispatching and unloading your trains and also boosting your friends trains. They will be able to do this via the Train Manager within the Visitor Toolbox when they visit your farm. Super Neighbours can NOT send train boosts for your own trains. You must do that yourself. If you are participating in the Farm Pass feature, please make sure that you communicate with your Super Neighbour regularly as there are goals for dispatching/unloading and boosting friends trains so there may be times when you will need to to those yourself to complete train goals! Super Neighbours can complete some of their own Farm Pass Goals for unloading/dispatching and boosting trains by using your Trains or your friends train boosts in your Train Manager. To enable this setting you need to add the check mark for either Permanently Hired for Management OR for Allow Management of Trains. It does not matter which on you add the check mark to, both check marks will be added. Then click on the green check mark to save the change. Click the red X to cancel the change.
If there are trains to unload and dispatch they will be showing up in the Trains Section. The blue buttons to Unload or Dispatch will show up on any of your trains that need unloading or dispatching. IMPORTANT Information about Earning the Mayor Bonus when your Super Neighbours are unloading/dispatching your trains! Your Super Neighbour MUST pay attention when unloading and dispatching your trains to make sure that when you already qualify for earning the Mayor bonus that you can still continue to earn it even when they are managing your trains. IF they unload too many trains that qualify, without dispatching them, and try to unload another one they will see the background colour for your trains that help you qualify for the bonus turn pink AND a warning popup will show that they need to read. Example of the pink background on trains that have the requirement to earn the Mayor bonus: This picture shows 6 trains that have been unloaded but not dispatched that have the train requirement to earn the mayor bonus. ![]() When the background colour of a train is pink, this means that you do not have 3 trains (with at least 10 Long cars) in the dispatched or ready to unload state, that you need to be able to earn the Mayor Bonus. The Warning looks like this: ![]() When your Super Neighbour sees that popup they MUST click on the red X to cancel unloading the train. IF your Super Neighbour ignores the warning and clicks on the green check mark instead of the red X to cancel, the train will be unloaded and you will not have earned the Mayor bonus! When your Super Neighbour has dispatched enough of your trains the background of your trains changes back to white. ![]() If there are train boosts from your friends, they will be showing up in the Boost Other's Trains section and a blue Boost button will be showing. ![]() When your Super Neighbour boosts one of your friends trains they are rewarded with the products: ![]() Super Neighbours can NOT boost their own train train boosts if they sent you any. They will not be able to see their own boosts in your Train Manager. There is no reward for Super Neighbours that unload and dispatch your trains. When your Super Neighbour dispatches your train there is also a brief notification. ![]() When a Super Neighbour unloads one of your trains, you get the products and any mayor bonus when they unload one. They will see the notification the train was unloaded, amount of products you received and any mayor bonus earned: ![]() When your Super Neighbour is done with your trains they close the Train Manger by clicking the red X top right of the window.

![]() Using the Super-Neighbour Manager How to designate what your SN will plant on each of your farms. ![]() ![]() Each individual box is one of your farms. The green shading on a farm is the farm you are currently on. To set different farms with different crops, click the little drop down arrow on each of the farms. To set all farms with the same crop or type of crops, click on the drop down arrow on the Set All To: box at the bottom center of the window. When you click the drop down arrow a list will open you can scroll using the scroll bar to the right of the box. There are quite a few options:
Click on the option you want planted. Your selection will turn blue. When you are done making your choices click the green check mark at the bottom of the window to save, then the window will automatically close. If you change your mind about the changes you made, just click the red X and the window will close leaving the farms set as they were. When you want to set all farms back to Any crop using the drop down on Set All To box it defaults to Any, so in this case you need to click on another other option first, doesn't matter which one, so it goes blue, and then click on the Any option again to turn it blue, and then it will change them all back to Any. Remember to click the green check mark to save. Note: Your SN will not know beforehand , unless you tell them, what you crop you have designated for each farm. When you have chosen a specific crop or type of crop, they will only see those options when they open the store and will only be able to plant what they are shown. When you have chosen the Any option they will see a full list of seeds to chose from and will be able to plant any crop they choose. You can also disable the Super Neighbour's farming permissions per farm at the farm level. This disables the ability to to harvest, plow, plant, chop etc on that particular farm. They will then still be able to visit that farm but will not be able to work it. Go to the farm you do not wish them to work and click on the Farm name. Add a check mark for Disable Super-Neighbour Farming. Last edited by Tiger; Sep 18 2023 at 08:13 AM. |
