Neighbors & Crop Sharing
From MyFarm Wiki
- There is no limit to the total number of neighbors you can have
- Only 8 on a small farm and 12 on a large farm will be displayed
- Your farm will display the first 8 or 12 neighbors added around the edge of your farm
Adding Neighbors
To Add a Neighbor, look around the edge of your farm for the following graphic and click on it, then follow the instructions to add a neighbor.
Crop Sharing
- Only Neighbors can harvest your crops and trees
- The ability can be turned on and off for each individual neighbor
- The default setting is off
- Crop Income is shared. 80% to Farm Owner and 20% to neighbor
- If the Farm Owner has a combine and/or ATV, the Multi Harvest will be enabled. Otherwise you will have to harvest crops and trees using single clicks
- To Harvest a Farm you have been given access, find their Farm Name around the side of your farm, click it and choose Visit Farm. Now you can harvest as normal
- To grant a neighbor access to harvest your farm, Click their Farm Name from the edge of your farm, the tick/untick the Allow Share Cropping box.
I cannot add neighbors
The Neighbor Requests are tied up with your daily gift allotment. If you have already sent all of your gifts, you will not be able to add neighbors until the next day. Unfortunately, myFarm has no control over this. Facebook controls all gifting limits and they have lumped adding neighbors into the daily gifting allotment.
I've sent neighbor requests, and they have accepted, but they still don't show up
If you are a long time farmers (or your friends are long time farmers), ie started in 2008, then you or they may not be "logged" into each of the 5 game server, which is not a big deal, unless you want to add neighbors. When myFarm originally started there was only 1 server. As the amount of players increased, they needed to add more game servers to accommodate the new players. Players that started after all 5 servers were up and running are automatically added to all 5 servers, however, the original players were only added to the servers that were active when they started playing. So some will have 1 server, some 2 servers, some 3 servers and some 4 servers active.
Here's how to check how many servers you have active, and how to fix it if you do not have all 5 servers active.
1. Click on the icon to the right of HELP, with the GREEN LETTER, A,B,C, D or E
2. Look at the pop up and see if you show 5 farms (like the sample on the left). If you do not show all 5 farms (like the sample on the right), then you need to scroll below these samples and follow those instructions:
3. Log into your farm and scroll down to the bottom of the page, below the message wall, and find the word Settings
4. Click on the word Settings, and you will get a screen showing all 5 servers.
5. Click on the Servers you are missing. ie: in the example above, they have servers A,B & C. They will now click on Servers D and E. You can only click one server at a time, so after click on Server D, scroll to the bottom of the page, click Settings again, then click on Server E.
6. You can now use the Green Letter icon to switch servers, if you choose to farm more than one farm. (see Multi-Farm / Upgrading Farm Size to learn about multiple and larger farms.)
7. Ask your friends to click the Letter Icon to make sure they also have all 5 servers active. If not, they will need to add the servers manually also.
I have scarecrows on my farm, do my neighbors that harvest also get the bonus?
Yes, your neighbors that can harvest get 20% of the TOTAL harvest amount, including bonuses from scarecrows.
Can my the neighbors I have allowed to harvest cut down my trees, or plow and plant crops?
No, they cannot cut down trees nor plow and plant crops. They can only harvest.
Cow Tipping
- It's just a little fun prank to play on your neighbors.
- To tip an adult cow, just click on one of your neighbors' cows and you'll see it tip over.
- Remember, no real cows were injured in the making of this video game.
