Please remember that not all farmers want a Facebook account so may not have one.

You can post your Facility work request to Facebook if you wish.
Posting to Facebook is still governed by Facebook rules.
Posting too many times too frequently can still get you a temp ban by Facebook. They will never list what that criteria will be to prevent spammers finding out. They can change the criteria for spam detection at any time and as often as they feel necessary, to protect their users from spammers.

How to Post Facility Work Requests to Facebook CLICK HERE

Your Neighbours and Buddies Facility Work Requests are in the Facility Wall Requests section of My Requests at the top of your game screen.

For details on how to find and use the Facility Wall Requests please CLICK HERE

The facilities/tools that you fill with coins rather than product, ie: the semi trailer truck, the bee farm, can not be used to post facility work requests.


Religious and Funeral Facilities can not be used to post facility work requests.


Can I Have More Than One Of The Same Facility?

1. You can buy and place the EXACT same facility on DIFFERENT farms and they will each produce for you.
   NOTE: If you put more than one on the SAME farm, the duplicates would only copy the production information in the others but not actually produce anything extra, they will be considered as decoration.
   
   
2. You can have a Turbo version of a facility AND the regular version of a facility on the same farm. For example. the Turbo Oil Refinery and the Oil Refinery can be placed on the same farm. ONE of each!
   
   
3. You can NOT have a Super Animal Shed and a regular Animal shed on the same farm. It has to be one or the other not both!
   
   
4. Note: For facilities to work as intended, your computer's clock and calendar need to be set accurately.

Is there a Limit on how many Facilities I can put on a farm?

Yes. It's the limit is between 350 and 400. However, that amount can also be affected by how much production you have in those facilities that have not been stored. If you see a message telling you that you have too many facilities on a farm, the first thing we suggest is to store all production from those facilities then refresh farm and see if the message goes away. If it does then do not add any more facilities to that farm and remember to store regularly. If it comes back, store all production and move some facilities to another farm.
NOTE: Train locomotives and their long cars also count as part of this limit, one for each locomotive and one for each long car, so you need to take into account those as well if you have the trains on the same farms your facilities are on.

When you have more than one farm there is a quick way to find out how many facilities of each type you have on a farm. This does not include the trains in the count. You can find information on how to do that Chapter 13 of the Game Guide, or you can click this link: What is Show Facility Info?

Working Neighbour and Buddies Facilities: For information on how this can be done CLICK HERE.

Most farmers that play often daily or throughout the day will be able to work your facilities once per day as long as they have had an overnight break of at least 8 hours from working ALL farmers facilities.

It is possible to work facilities twice a day, perhaps if you are in full time work, you may work some in the morning, then are not working ANYONEs facilities at all for at least 8 hours, then when you return as long as you are not even one second too early you will be able to work ALL farmer facilities again, including the ones you worked before your 8 hour break.

Always reload your game before you want to rework facilities and check the Show Times!



If you want to be 100% sure that you have had a long enough gap between working each type facilities make sure that you check these times BEFORE working ANY facility requests!!

You need to have a green check mark for Rework Facilities and Rework Service Facilities. Then, and only then, can you rework the facilities.




If there are no green check marks showing you are too soon to start working them and need to wait longer. The time showing will help you know when that will be, you can mouseover the times to see more information, but always check for those green check marks.

My Cindy Farmington account has 5 Fodder Factories that are not producing Copra. When I get sent ingredients I just get more coconuts. All other products seem to work. I had this problem with Copra a couple of years ago, but I don't know what was done to correct it.

Hi Judyjor,
If your fodder facilities are not producing the Copra Meal, then open one of the facilities and make sure there is a check in the box for that product.

Also make sure you have enough coconut to fill all the facilities you have that use that.
If you want us to check that account you will need to give us the account ID as we do not have any way to search by avatar name.

Hi Heididinges,
I moved your post to the subject thread about the facility manager.


Please open you Facility Manger and click on the Funnel Icon top right and make sure it is set like this. If it's not please change it to this and remember to click the green check mark at the bottom to save your changes:

Hello, in the facility manager I had selected the "Workable by friends" query and yet the dairy shed and the chicken coop were visible. Maybe someone should have a look at it?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
