Default Tools

Why am I having to repurchase tools I already have? I have a 3x3 seeder, and am prevented from using it because the game doesn't recognise it. This is one of the reasons I stopped playing, and it still has not been fixed in the intervening years.

Hi WendyM,
I moved your post to the subject thread about tools. You need to put your tools in to your storage. Then you can use them from the Toolbox without taking them out of storage. The tools do not take any space in your storage.

Default Purple Hand doesn't work

Hi, It's my understanding the Purple Hand is supposed to be working unless I read wrong. It's not working on my farm. It worked for putting down water, but not for editing or buying things from the market and setting them on my farm. I also can't use it to place things on my farm from storage. I used to be able to move things and buy and set things down anywhere. Can't do that now, it just show red when I try. Thank you! 100000484275701

Hi Abbey,

If the item you are trying to place is red where you are trying to place it then you can't overlap that item there with another one, you may not be showing everything possible in your preferences so that you can see where there is a small space to be able to place it down. You need at least one tiny space the size a pine tree would use to place something almost on top of another one. Please show everything in your game preferences so you can see if there is something in the area where you are trying to set your item down.

The tool is not meant for putting anything exactly in the same space as another item or for putting anything on top of on top of workable items like crops, etc. If you are trying to do that, that is a method of what we call layering which some also like to call a trick. We are not permitted to give instructions for any layering or tricks or allow them to be posted. We are aware that not all the usual methods of layering are working, we can not tell you if they will be in the future. If you are not trying to do that please let us know which farm it is and what item you are trying to place where so we can go take a look.

Default when tools are selected screen does not change

(User 1768562258) I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this issue but a couple of weeks ago my screen jerked around while I was chopping trees. All of a sudden all of the trees (fruit and regular trees) appeared on screen. It didn't matter which tool I was using all of the trees were showing. The game didn't just show only those trees for that specific tool. Next day the same issue seemed to be happening to all of the screens. Example: if I want to harvest/plant crops the screen used to only show the crops. Now it shows crops, trees, buildings, decorations. I can use the little control box in the upper right corner to choose which things I want displayed but that doesn't separate the fruit trees from the regular trees. But it does allow me to only show crops and nothing else. Also FYI, this is happening no matter what version of the game I am playing U75 or U70

Hi fitzlmom

I moved your post to the thread about Tools.

Please when you get a tool, look at the botton right corner of the game screen.
You will see an eye. Click in the eye to get it half open. That way only the items tied to the tool you have in your hands will show up.

1040081523 Farmer ID Today I accepted gifts (fuel) and instead of getting 4 for each one I only received 1. I believe this is a new problem because every other time I accepted them since the migration, I got the usual 4 times as many with my gifting tools.

Hi Hoilderdorn,
Please try clearing your memcache (link below), then when the page of unsetting text opens close that as it is done.
If your farm is open close it. Then reopen and try again.
https://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/p...lear_memcached


If that doesn't work try taking the yellow gifting tool out of storage, place it on a farm, click the Save button, restart your farms. Then place it back in your storage and try again to see if you get 4.


I checked this and I got the 4 fuel tanks.

Hi Lin Cutter,
I moved your post to the subject thread about tools.
Are you seeing those bigger tools in your tool box? If you can't see them but only see the smaller ones click on the Arrow at the top of the column for the tool you are trying to get.
