Here are some things to do between now and the release later this week;

1] Run down all your facilities to zero if you can. This will allow you to move things around when the time comes, with no loss of product. Also, go to the market and sell off gifts, items, inventory that you really don't need, or visit the buy/sell market and offer what you can to others. There is no limit on what you can sell, only what you can buy (hint, devs can you up the 1000max to maybe 2500?)

2] Grow short term crops only. Stock up on the stuff you know you use that only require 4, 8 or 12 hour growth. After 2-3 days, plant the 1 and 2 day crops.

3] Exchange your incoming gifts for new things like the camels, ducks etc. You know you will be needing them at some point. But if you purchase more stables or chicken coops, place them on farms where you think they will stay (saves time later from moving them). Remember that the camels can only be stored in the brown (cheaper) stable, unless the devs change that.

4] If you are inclined to earn FTCash through apps etc, hit it full force this week. Or.... get a gift card from a bank or store, and be ready to spend a few bucks.

5] Start a MSWord.doc that you can keep on your screen and make notes on what you want to do. Example: I am accumulating some of the bigger pines etc and Bucks/deer to have a corner forest on one of my farms. I also plan on another Dairy Plant (hope there is a new and smaller option view), and perhaps a third Coffee and Tea Shop, and of course another Oil Rig. (when I refuel without periodic sell-offs, I get over 1 million gallons at a time even with 4 semi-s etc)

6] If you have a harvested area, wipe it clean, and experiment with the hills, the buffalo etc.

7] When you think you have all the ideas you need/want, visit the social thread, and go to the last page of the thread where farmers "brag" about their elaborate farms. Visit them, backwards (I found many of the better ones are more recent postings), and let your design and creative juices flow.

8] this suggestion is invisible.... just like the anticipated #8 farm

I stand (or sit) corrected:


It appears that we are now able to load camels into either the Brown Stable or the Nicer Stable.

So if you have both, put them on separate farms and fill them up. lol

I thought the limit was 50 animals in a shed ???

Suggestions of what to do since you are bored:

1) Take a walk.

2) Read a book.

3) Call a lonely relative or friend.

4) Visit a local nursing home -- there are folks there nobody sees.

5) Volunteer a few hours at a local soup kitchen.

6) Go help out at the local animal shelter. The puppies and kitties will thank you.

There is no excuse for boredom in this lifetime, your gifts need to be invested. By the time you finish doing one or two of these things, the new update will be here! Voila!

Nice answer. Thanks! Some of us spend a few too many hours in front of our computer!

The question I answered was about neighbors, not animal sheds. Limit on animals is 100 of each type.

I check the forums about once a week unless expecting a new update is due to be brought in. Now, on this last one I did notice we got camels (one of I think 5 new animals). Somewhere I missed about the stables to keep them in and what exactly the camels will give us (like cows give milk, pigs give manure, etc). Can someone bring me up to date on the camels please? Thanks to whomever does!

Hi, at this stage the Camels are just decorative and you store them in the (Farm Cash) Horse Stables.
