What is the manure spreader?

There are 2 manure spreaders, the red one, and the orange one.



Red manure Spreader ONLY fertilizes crops, and will produce 2 boxes of harvest instead of 1.

Orange Manure Spreader takes on the job of the red one, and also fertilizes trees and flowers too giving you 2 boxes of harvest instead of 1,

Green Manure Spreader - This allowes you to fertilize All farms or a selection of farms with a single click.

NOTE: If you already own the *Red* Manure Spreader and you buy the *Orange* Manure Spreader, then every time you fertilize a farm using ANY of them, both, crops and trees will be fertilized. Fertilized trees will produce 2 boxes when harvested and 2 log piles when chopped. Also ONLY the orange spreader will show up the extended tool box, even if you own both. but you MUST have the red one in order to get the orange one.



Notice you only need to fertilize a farm once, with any of the Spreaders, it doesn't matter which. The farm will remain fertilized for 72 hours.

How do I collect manure?
You need to have a Pigsty ( facility section on the store) to collect the manure from your pigs (which are a gift only item). The collection process works the same as if you were harvesting animals, the difference is that in this case, the manure from the pigs is stored in your Manure Spreader tool. Each pig produced 1 Manure Unit every 12 hours. You must own the spreader in order for you to be able to collect the manure from the pigsty.

How do I fertilize?
You need 50 manure units to fertilize a farm. To fertilize a farm, click on the Manure Spreader tool and select 'Fertilize Farm'. Once a farm is fertilized it will remain fertilized for the next 3 days.

All crops still growing (not ready to harvest) will be fertilized. All new crops planted while the farm is still fertilized will be fertilized also.

Once a crop is fertilized, it will produce 2 boxes instead of 1 when harvested, whether the farm is fertilized or not at the time of harvesting. If you hire others to harvest, you will get 2 Large boxes instead of one. Employees will get twice the amount of coins, and 2 boxes as well every time they receive an additional bonus box when harvesting.

**When you buy the Manure Spreader tool, it will come with 250 manure units inside for you to start fertilizing right away!

**All fertilized crops will have a highlight around them (with the option to turn off)

Q: What is the mobile sprinkler

There are 4 sprinklers... Brown, red, orange and green




The brown mobile sprinkler allows you to water your farm in one click. You earn 3XP when you water your own flowers, but it will cost you 1000 coins . You can use the sprinkler once per day.

You can also take this tool with you to water your neighbors' farms.

To use it on your neighbors' farms, simply click on the sprinkler, select "irrigate flowers" and then click the neighbor's farm and you can water then. You earn 1000 coins and 3 XP every time you water your neighbours' flowers.

Red Sprinkler - This is used to speed up growth of the crops and flowers by 50%. Please note that while the crops grow in half the time, the end waste time is not effected, meaning if you plant a 4 hour crop, it would be grown in 2 hours, and you'll have 6 hours in which to harvest it, totaling 8 hours, which is what it would be had the crops not been irrigated. You can irrigate a plant more than once, but it's growth speed will only double the first time. You may only irrigate once per day

Orange Sprinkler - This is used to speed up tree growth by 50%. If you own the orange sprinkler, you only need use this one to irrigate trees, crops and flowers. You can irrigate a plant more than once, but it's growth speed will only double the first time. As with the red sprinkler, speeding up growing time does not effect waste time. You may only irrigate once per day

Green Sprinkler - This tool increases the time to waste period on all crops. For crops that mature in 1 day or less it increases the time to waste period by 24 hours. For crops that take over a day to mature it increases the time to waste period by 48 hours.

Purple Sprinkler - This tool allowes you to irrigate ALL farms or selection of farms in a single click.

Once you own an upgraded sprinkler it will also do the job of the previous ones. Example, if you own the green sprinkler, when you use it it will also apply the jobs of the brown, red and orange sprinklers.

*** Only 2 sprinklers will show in the extended toolbar, the brown one for reviving flowers and either the red, orange or green one, you DO NOT lose the other sprinkler, it is still in your storage. ***
