Lock 'em Up!


Yo, yo!
Welcome, Farmers!

As you've seen on my previous entries, I have my farm character blocked in with haybales, rainbow ones at that, lol. But why would I do that? (besides the fact that it looks cool) Well, it makes for faster plowing, planting and harvesting of crops (and trees), as well as speeding up the process of collecting from your animals. Sure, hay bales are fun, but if you are a new farmer, you'll probably have other things to spend your gold on, like crops, trees and animals. So how can you get around this? Use signposts! like this:

Make sure you get them as close to your person as possible, to make absolutely sure this is working, click somewhere else on your farm,(NOT a place thats fenced in or blocked off in some way) and see if your person walks there, if not then you've done this correctly! Yay you! If they do still move, try rearranging your signposts/haybales. Feel like being a little more creative? If you have at least 4 "Perfect Bunches"/flower bouquets, put those around your farmer. Beware though, as these will droop 2 weeks after placement.

This cuts the time you spend tending your plots by AT LEAST half, that leaves you more time to accept and send gifts, and otherwise help out your neighbors' farms (as well as your own, as I've mentioned in a previous lesson, it gives you spare coins and XP to fertilize their crops and feed their chickens)

Thanks for attending this class!

Stay Tuned for Next Week's Lesson...
