Default Chapter 21 - Tools

There are many tools you can buy to help you do things faster in Farm Town. This Chapter has posts which gives you details about each type of tool. All the links below are clickable and will take you to the post about those tools.

Some of these tools when used will also show an Eye bottom right of your game which you can use to hide items on the farm. So if something doesn't show that you think should be, check the eye setting.

Note: The more realistic eyes are have been updated to the red and black versions we had previously:

Click on the Eye to change the setting.
When the Eye is BLACK you still see everything on your farms.

When the eye is RED, you will only see the items the harvest tool can harvest, like fields, trees and flowers. Clicking on an item with the harvest tool will harvest the item then make it temporarily disappear from view, which can be easier for you when you have more items on the farm. When using the Herding Robot it will hide everything except the animals.

More details about the eye when using Full Screen mode are in Chapter 2 Basics What is the Eye for? - the Full Screen additional features listed in that post are not in the current version of the game yet.


Should you need to get back to this post to look for other information:
Each post has a Table of Contents link bottom right of the post, which when you click, will bring you right back here.

Default Can I use a too to Harvest Crops?

Q: Can I use a tool to Harvest crops?

A: Yes, there are several size tools that you can use to harvest. The 2x2 tools and above use fuel.

You must buy them in size order.
You must make sure that you place them into your Item Storage so that the game can see which ones you own AND for you to be able to use the bigger tools when working for others or when they work for you.

These tools are not for working overlapped crops faster AND Overlapping fields is still not officially supported by the developers BUT you must own all the sizes up to and including the 16x16 before you can buy your first EX Harvester to be able to plant overlapped fields faster.

For full details on ALL the crop tools tools that can work overlapped crops faster click on this link:
Are there tools for working overlapped fields?
  • You can harvest a single field at a time with your harvesting tool (the scythe).
  • You can harvest 2 fields at a time with the 2x1 harvester.
  • You can harvest 4 fields at a time with the 2x2 harvester.
  • You can harvest 9 fields at a time with the 3x3 harvester
  • You can harvest 16 fields at a time with the 4x4 harvester (FC item).
  • You can harvest 25 fields at a time with the 5x5 harvester (FC item).
  • You can harvest 36 fields at a time with the 6x6 harvester (FC item).
  • You can harvest 64 fields at a time with the 8x8 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 100 fields at a time with the 10x10 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 144 fields at a time with the 12x12 harvesterer (FC item)
  • You can harvest 196 fields at a time with the 14x14 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 256 fields at a time with the 16x16 harvester (FC item)

    When you own the 16x16 you meet the requirement to buy your first EX Harvester.

    If you are not overlapping crops you can continue buying the bigger size tools:

  • You can harvest 324 fields at a time with the 18x18 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 400 fields at a time with the 20x20 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 484 fields at a time with the 22x22 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 576 fields at a time with the 24x24 harvester (FC item)
  • You can harvest 784 fields at a time with the 28x28 harvester (FC item)


    When you buy a bigger size tool you will see a popup telling you what you are about to buy, please make sure that you read it and especially note the name and size of the tool before you purchase.

    If you do not have Show Tools checked in your Show Preferences that will also be shown in the popup.

    If you are buying a tool bigger than the 16x16 there is another popup that will remind you that the tool is not an EX tool for working overlapped crops.
    Example:



To use tools bigger than the Scythe to harvest, the tool must be on the farm or in storage.

You can do 2 things. . .
  • If the tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and click "Harvest" and then click on the fields.
  • However, it is better to 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.

Default Can I use a tool to Plow new or wasted Fields?

Q: Can I use a tool to Plow new or wasted Fields?

A: Yes, there are several tools that you can use to plow. These do not use any fuel.

These tools can be used to plow new fields on your own farm, plow harvested fields and plow wasted crops.
They must be bought in size order.
You must make sure that you place them into your Item Storage so that the game can see which ones you own AND for you to be able to use the bigger tools when working for others or when they work for you.

NOTE: On your own farms or when working as a Super Neighbour with design permissions that allow plowing of new fields AND you have other items showing in your preferences, when you pick up a plow tool the other items showing will not hide, as the game does not know if your intention is to plow harvested fields or plow new fields. For plowing new fields you need to be able to see where your other items are in order to plow in an area that doesn't already have something occupying that space. If you cannot see where you need to plow you will have to hide the other items in your preferences.

  • You can plow a single field at a time
  • You can plow 2 fields at a time with the 2x1 plower
  • You can plow 4 fields at a time with the 2x2 plower..
  • You can plow 9 fields at a time with the 3x3 plower.
  • You can plow 16 fields at a time with the 4x4 plower.(FC item).
  • You can plow 25 fields at a time with the 5x5 plower (FC item).
  • You can plow 36 fields at a time with the 6x6 plower (FC item).
  • You can plow 64 fields at a time with the 8x8 plower (FC item).
  • You can plow 100 fields at a time with the 10x10 plower (FC item)
  • You can plow 144 fields at a time with the 12x12 plower (FC item)
  • You can plow 196 fields at a time with the 14x14 plower (FC item)
  • You can plow 256 fields at a time with the 16x16 plower (FC item)
  • You can plow 324 fields at a time with the 18x18 plower (FC item)
  • You can plow 400 fields at a time with the 20x20 plower (FC item)
  • You can plow 484 fields at a time with the 22x22 plower (FC item)
  • You can plow 576 fields at a time with the 24x24 plower (FC item)
  • You can plow 784 fields at a time with the 28x28 plower (FC item)

Note: Overlapping fields is still not officially supported by the developers. Doing this CAN cause problems with your farms that may NOT be able to be fixed. They have not provided plow tools to create these overlapped fields and for the same reason you will not find instructions on how to create them on the forum.

To use tools bigger than the single plow tool, to plow fields, the tool must be on the farm or in storage.

You can do 2 things. . .
  • If your tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and click "Plow" and then click on the fields.
  • However, it is better to 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.

As of April 2020 it is much easier to use bigger plow tools to plow a farm without having to change to a smaller plow tool. This is very useful when plowing new fields along the bottom edge of the farm when you upgrade it to a bigger size.

The plow tools will now overhang the bottom edges of the farm allowing you to plow a narrow but long strip without switching to a smaller tool.

In the example below:
  • The top picture is the old method where you had to get the right size tool to plow along the edge as the tool had to fit within the farm, so that method you could only plow 4 fields at a time using the 4x4 plow tool.

  • The bottom picture shows the new overhang method, using the 10x10 plow tool, where everything within the farm area and the green box, will be plowed, which in this case would be 18 fields.

Default What are the Combines?

Q. What are the Combines?

A. There are TWO types of Combines and they come in several sizes. They all cost Farm Cash. These tools use Fuel.


Combine Harvest-Plow tools will harvest crops and plow fields with each click of the tool. It uses fuel for Harvesting not for the Plowing.

Combine Harvest-Plant tools will harvest crops, plow fields and plant new seeds with each click of the tool. It uses fuel for the Harvesting and Seeding not for the Plowing.
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 diffeent crops on it for Quest purpuses and replant the same crops on it often, you may also like the uprade 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. If you would like more information on this please click on this link to read up on what and how to use the Crop Replanter Implement: https://www.slashkey.com/forum/showt...14#post6579414




These tools are not for working overlapped crops faster AND Overlapping fields is still not officially supported by the developers BUT you must own all the sizes up to and including the 16x16 before you can buy your first EX Combine-Plow or EX Combine Harvest-Plant to be able to work overlapped fields faster.

For full details on ALL the crop tools tools that can work overlapped crops faster click on this link:
Are there tools for working overlapped fields?


For the tool to be able to get the maximum amount of fields per click your fields must be plowed close together and in line with each other. If the fields are offset the tool either won't be able to get them all or will try to grab an odd pattern.


To buy the Combine Harvest-Plow, you must own the relevant size Harvester and Plower before you can buy the same size Combine Harvest-Plow.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (5x5) will harvest and plow up to 25 fields in a squared 5x5 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (6x6) will harvest and plow up to 36 fields in a squared 6x6 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (8x8) will harvest and plow up to 64 fields in a squared 8x8 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (10x10) will harvest and plow up to 100 fields in a squared 10x10 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (12x12) will harvest and plow up to 144 fields in a squared 12x12 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (14x14) will harvest and plow up to 196 fields in a squared 14x14 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (16x16) will harvest and plow up to 256 fields in a squared 16x16 area.

    When you own the Combine Harvest-Plow 16x16 you meet the requirement to buy your first EX Combine Harvest-Plow.

    If you are not overlapping crops you can continue buying the bigger size tools:

  • Combine Harvest-Plow (18x18) will harvest and plow up to 324 fields in a squared 18x18 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (20x20) will harvest and plow up to 400 fields in a squared 20x20 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (22x22) will harvest and plow up to 484 fields in a squared 22x22 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (24x24) will harvest and plow up to 576 fields in a squared 24x24 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plow (28x28) will harvest and plow up to 784 fields in a squared 28x28 area.


To buy the Combine Harvest-Plant, you must own the same size Combine Harvest-Plow AND the same size Seeder before you can buy the Combine Harvest-Plant.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (5x5) will harvest, plow and plant up to 25 fields in a squared 5x5 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (6x6) will harvest, plow and plant up to 36 fields in a squared 6x6 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (8x8) will harvest, plow and plant up to 64 fields in a squared 8x8 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (10x10) will harvest, plow and plant up to 100 fields in a squared 10x10area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (12x12) will harvest, plow and plant up to 144 fields in a squared 12x12 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (14x14) will harvest, plow and plant up to 196 fields in a squared 14x14 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (16x16) will harvest, plow and plant up to 256 fields in a squared 16x16 area.

    When you own the Combine Harvest-Plow 16x16 you meet the requirement to buy your first EX Combine Harvest-Plant.

    If you are not overlapping crops you can continue buying the bigger size tools:

  • Combine Harvest-Plant (18x18) will harvest, plow and plant up to 324 fields in a squared 18x18 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (20x20) will harvest, plow and plant up to 400 fields in a squared 20x20 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (22x22) will harvest, plow and plant up to 484 fields in a squared 22x22 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (24x24) will harvest, plow and plant up to 576 fields in a squared 24x24 area.
  • Combine Harvest-Plant (28x28) will harvest, plow and plant up to 784 fields in a squared 28x28 area.


When you buy a bigger size tool you will see a popup telling you what you are about to buy, please make sure that you read it and especially note the name and size of the tool before you purchase.
If you do not have Show Tools checked in your Show Preferences that will also be shown in the popup.

If you are buying a tool bigger than the 16x16 there is another popup that will remind you that the tool is not an EX tool for working overlapped crops.
Example:

All unlock requirements and costs of the combines are listed in Chapter 25 Levels and Unlocking

Default Can I use my tool on other farmers' farms?

Q: Can I use my tools on other farmers' farms?

A: You can use both 3x3 coin tools and Farm Cash tools to work on crops, trees, flowers and fish on other farms as long as you have placed those tools into your Item storage.

There are some other tools, like the mobile sprinkler and some of the freestyle hand designers, that you can also use, in some circumstances, on other peoples farms, but some you can not. The details for those are in each individual post for those tools later in this chapter. A quick way to know if you can use a tool when on someone's farm is to look in the toolbox. If a tool is greyed out in the toolbox then you don't have access to that tool to use.
As an employee you will only be able to use the tools owned by your employer if they have allowed it and those tools have already been placed in Item storage.
You may also need to have your own fuel to use them, unless the farm owner has allowed the use of their own fuel. If the farm owner has allowed the use of their tools and fuel you will see the information is in the hiring popup when you are offered a job.

As of October 10th, 2024 in the hire request as well as what jobs, how many farms you are being asked to work and how much fuel the farm owner has if they are allowing the use of tools and fuel, you can now also view a short list of the largest tools the employer has which can be useful to know if you do not have large tools yourself.

In the pictures below, on the left we have indicated with a red box both where the job offer is. In the right picture the red box shows an example of this farm owners largest tools.
  • The hire is for all types of jobs on 23 farms.
  • The farm owner is also allowing their fuel to be used first and it states roughly how much they have. This is important to know if you are short on fuel yourself.

    If that is all the information you need to see then you can either accept the hire or reject it using one of the other 2 options in that hire offer.

    To see what the largest tools are that the farm owner has, in the hire message on the left highlighted in yellow is Which of your tools can I use for this job?
    Click on that option if you want to see the tool sizes which can be useful when you do not own the largest tools yourself.

    You will then see something similar to what is in the picture on the right.
    The job hire information has been replaced with the tools sizes.
    In this case the farm owner has tools to work all of the jobs.
    The crop tools are EX tools.
    The tools in this example are not the largest sizes possible in the game, but are still very large.

After viewing the tools, to go back to seeing the job hire click on Can I see the job hire again?

To accept the hire without viewing the job hire again, click on Good! I'm heading to your farm now.
To reject the hire without viewing the job hire again, click on Thanks. Maybe some other time.

IMPORTANT - If you are needing to earn the bonus chest or want the extra reward for hiring, you do not want to be hired by a Neighbour or Buddy. If you have a connection as a Neighbour or Buddy that will be indicated top right of the hire message like these examples:


When you accept a hire, the largest tool you can use will be automatically given to you and some can also appear in the brown game panel at the bottom of your game screen in place of the store & gift icons.
If you aren't automatically given a tool, click on the yellow toolbox to open it and see if any tools are showing up or are dimmed out. Your tools and the farm owners tools (when allowed) that you can use, will not be dimmed out.

Please note that if you are wanting to use EX tools for working overlapped crops and you or the farm owner own them, that there is a small indicator on the EX tools when looking in the toolbox, they have a small dim grey X next to them. The largest sizes would be in the upper areas of each column of tools related to the job you are hired for.

Example of some of the largest EX tools in the toolbox:


NOTE: If the farm owner has allowed the use of their fuel you may not get to use theirs first depending on what they set the fuel allowance to. They have 3 options for fuel allowance:


If the farm owner runs out of fuel during the job, you will need to use your own fuel to continue working with out having to drop to using the x1 and x2 tools.

To see more details on all the options on Hiring and Fuel allowance please click on this link to go to Chapter 09 Hiring: How do I hire someone to work on my farm(s)?

Default My tools don't work anymore, help!

My tools don't work anymore, help!

There are a few things that can make a machine not work properly.

The most common thing is that it won't plow/plant/harvest in blocks any more.

Go to preferences located top right of your game screen. The icon looks like a wrench/spanner :



Make sure 'remove space between fields' is checked if you have no gaps. (If you do have gaps on your farm, make sure "remove space between fields' is unchecked).




Also make sure you have enough fuel. Check your fuel indicator located top left of your game screen. This image shows 3,264,945 Fuel.

Default Can i move my tools to one of my other farms?

Q: Can i move my tools to one of my other farms?

A: Yes, Just put it in storage. Then go to the farm you would like the tool on, and take it out of storage and place it on the farm. You must have a clear space, slightly bigger than the tool, with nothing else occupying that space, to be able to get it out of storage.

However, it is better to 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. This means you only need 1 of each tool.

Default What can i do with an Oil Pump?



Q: What can i do with an Oil Pump?

A: The Oil Pump is a coin facility, it allows you to produce Crude Oil Barrels for use in the Oil Refinery. The Oil Refinery is used to make Fuel Tanks for use with your tools, as well as other products used in other facilites. You can only have 1 working oil pump per farm. To start the oil pump, open it up like any other facility, and click "Start Batch". It costs coins to start each batch.



As of August 2020 this is now classified as a facility, so will now show up on your farms when Show Facilities is check marked in your game preferences instead of Show Tools.


Should you need to produce more crude oil than this facility can produce you can by the Offshore Oil Rig for Farm Cash which will produce 3 times more crude oil than the oil pump.

Both of these Facilities are listed in Chapter 13 What are the Non-Workable Facilities? and this post will eventually be removed from this Chapter as the oil pump is no longer a tool.

Default What is the Fishing Boat?

Q: What is the Fishing Boat?
A: The Fishing Boats are used to make it easier to fish. These tools use fuel.



These Fishing Boats do NOT have Extent Mode they only have Highlight Mode:



These Turbo Boats have BOTH Highlight Mode and Extent Mode:



Important note about overlapped waters and Fishing!!!!
Some farmers will have overlapped waters on and off the edges of their farms. If you have them on your own farms or are hired to work them, you will need to own the Turbo Fishing boat in order to be able to catch every single fish in those waters. Hired workers can use the farm owners turbo boat as long as the boat they have allowed the use of their Tools in the hire. You will also need Fuel.


The Fishing Boat (2x2) allows you to catch up to 4 fish each time you click.
** The Fishing Boat (2x2) can NOT be used on other farms when hired **

The Fishing Boat (3x3) allows you to catch up to 9 fish each time you click.

The Fishing Boat (5x5) allows you to catch up to 25 fish each time you click.

The Turbo Fishing Boat allows you to fish each body of water with a single click.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (4x4) allows you to fish up to 16 overlapped waters in a squared area the size of 1 plowed field with a single click.

The Turbo Fishing Boat (20x20) - allows you to catch all fish in a squared area the size of 25 plow fields (5x5 area) using a new method of fishing.
When selecting the new Turbo Boat 20x20 instead of the Eye in the bottom right you will see the current tool icon >>



When you click on that icon, you will see a vertical toolbar with 3 buttons.
The one in the top (Highlight) selects the old method of highlighting each individual item.
The one in the middle selects the New Method (Extent) of highlighting only the perimeter of the area where the tool will operate. Instead of highlighting all waters, this new method will just highlight a fixed squared section of the farm which works faster and with less manual mistakes. When you use this method you will briefly see "Extent mode selected" in white lettering near the top of the game screen.
The bottom button closes the box.



Also, 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..

To use tools bigger than the Fishing Rod to fish, the tool must be on the farm or in storage.

You can do 2 things. . .
  • If the tool is on your farm, you can click on the tool and click "Fish" and then click on the waters.
  • However, it is better to 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.

You can also use the fishing rod to fish 1 at a time if you don't own the tools. To select the fishing rod, click on the Yellow Toolbox and select the tool.
