Can other Famers work my Factories or Service Facilities?

Yes!

A Farmer that has you on their Neighbour or Buddy List can help you complete products faster by working them.

• Many farmers like to play often during a day or throughout the day, they can work your Facilities ONCE per day.
  There is an exception to this rule and it will ONLY apply IF the farmer stops working ALL Farmers Facilities for at least 8 hours. We show an example of this later in this Chapter.
  
  
• Before posting any requests for your facilities to be worked, you will need to make sure that there are products in them to be worked.

  For Regular Facilities you Start batches to make products.
  For Service facilities you Load batches which can be cashed out when completed, for extra profit.

  
  
• Posting Work Requests is disabled in Non-workable, religious or funeral facilities.

  The Funeral and Religious Facilities are:
  
  Funeral Supplies Factory
  Funeral Home
  Buddhist Supplies Factory
  Buddha Shop
  Fortune Teller Supplies Factory
  Fortune Teller Wagon
  
  For the full list of Non-Workable Facilities go to Chapter 13: What are the Non-Workable Facilities?
  

  
  
• Private Farms: If ALL of your workable facilities are on a Private farm, no-one will be able to go to that farm to work them.
  

  If this is the case you will be shown a message like the one below, when you try to post a request:
  
  
  
  To be able to post a work request you would need to remove the privacy setting on that farm if you only have facilities on that farm with work in them.

  It is sometimes possible for the facilities on a Private farm to be worked IF you ALSO have work in facilities on your other farms.
  
  IF the Famer working your Facilities:
  
  - does not have a Fully Diversified Train that is dispatched, they will need to work the facilities on at least half the amount of farms with work in them before the mayor could take over and work the rest of the farms which can include the facilities on a Private farm.
  
  - Has 1 Fully Diversified Train AND they can do at least half of the amount of farms with facilities with work in them. The Mayor will then take over and complete the remaining farms for them which could include the facilities on a Private farm. Their train must be correctly connected and dispatched.
  
  - Has 2 Fully Diversified Trains to be able to work all facilities without going farm to farm and there is work on the farm that they arrive on, the facilities on the Private farm will also be worked. Both trains must be correctly connected and dispatched.

• How often you post a Request to work your facilities is up to you to decide.
  Some farmers with numerous Neighbours/Buddies that also post daily or several times a day can only see other farmers facility requests as far back as 8 hours ago or less.
  Those with fewer Neighbours/Buddies posting are likely to see much further back in time.
  Please remember that Farm Town has International and diverse players, not every farmer will be playing at the same time you are.
  
  If you like to refill your facilities often within a short time, we do not recommend posting every time you refill as that can make farmers need to refresh the facility wall requests page far too often so that two things will update:

  - older facility posts by the same farmer are removed
  - to see the pink background on facility work requests that they have already worked.

  
  
  
• When you have Posted your Facility Requests, they will be seen on the Facility Wall Requests page to those who have you as their Neighbour or Buddy. You will NOT see your own posts there.
  
  You can also post your facility work requests to Facebook. However you still need to abide by any current Facebook guidelines.

  Posting or sharing any type of request to many areas of Facebook can still trigger the automatic spam detection and they can prevent you doing this.
  
  Please remember that not all farmers will have Facebook accounts and you may not be Facebook friends with every Neighbour/Buddy you have on your lists in Farm Town.

  
  
• When Farmers use the Facility Wall Requests page, at the top there are 2 options that can be used.
  
  
  • Include posts from Farmers that have you as a Neighbour or Buddy but are not your Neighbours or Buddies. This is referred to as a one way connection meaning that you are not mutual Neighbours or Buddies.
    
    
  • Show posts only from the latest farmers who have worked my facilities.
    Adding a check mark to an option selects that option and refreshes the page.
  
  
  
  
• You ONLY need to post ONE Request to have ALL of your Regular Facilities worked.
  Regular/Production Facilities make products. ALL of this type of facility can be worked on every farm using just one request as long as the products are not all completed and not all on a Private farm.
  
  
• You ONLY need to post ONE Request to have All of your Service Facilities worked.
  Service Facilities stock finished products that you have made in regular facilities and then stored. ALL of this type of facility can be worked on every farm using just one request as long as they are not all completed and not all on a Private farm.
  
  You do not need to post a request for every facility that you own!

How to Post Regular or Service Facility Work Requests to Other Wall Requests are in the next 2 posts down.
