Discussions about Layering

I need to add to existing ponds underneath plots and the game will not let me. I hide the plots and it still will not let me.

Hi fhardy22,

I have moved you post to the thread where others are discussing various types of layering where you can see what others are saying about those, BUT no-one is allowed to post any type of instruction on how to do them.

I am sorry but we are not permitted to help you with layering instruction or allow anyone to post them anywhere on the forum as layering can cause problems and those problems don't always show up immediately. We do know that not all methods are working at this time.

The concentration at this time is to get the more of the features added back to the game. It will be up to the developers if they chose to look at any layering methods when they have more time to do so.

Understood.

Looking for tips on how to properly (and more efficiently) layer big lakes. I am using the orange hand tool.

I see many farm plots that will have lakes covering (very thickly) over the entire plot, but not sure how that works, especially at the end where there's not enough room to place a single big lake before moving it into place.

Thanks in advance

There's an entire thread about layering here that I posted in. I am not talking about stacking layers of different fields on top of one another. Overlapping water features is exactly what the orange edit/freestyle hand is meant for. No plants or anything else involved, just big lakes on top of one another.

My apologies CDobber74, I didn't get my edit done after reading your question again so you saw what I initially posted. No point in the edit now so I've deleted it.

Plot is another term that we use when discussing fields for crop, which is why I thought you were asking to put the waters on top of them.

No worries. I have done a lot of searching in the forum for this answer (and some other things, as I was gone for many years before recently returning). I know better than to ask how to stack flowers on top of trees on top of water, etc

What is the new method of layering my field and readying it for planting several layers of crops. I understand the old method does not work. Please send me the instructions, thanks Sandie39

Hi Sandie,
I moved your post to the General Feedback thread about layering.
The method is using the dirt path. That is all we can tell you. I am sorry but we are not permitted to help you with layering instruction or allow anyone to post them anywhere on the forum as layering can cause problems and those problems don't always show up immediately.

if "layering can cause problems and those problems don't always show up immediately.", can anyone define or describe what the problems could be, what to look for, what to expect?

i have a couple of 3-layer farms, just for crops - no trees, decorative stuff, flowers, NOTHING else. should i remove 2 layers from each farm, as a preventive measure against something that MIGHT happen at some unpredictable point in the future?
