Getting Started

Building up your farm requires that you carefully balance your management of resources and buildings. There are several important aspects to remember: Farming, Tending Animals, Crafting Goods, Completing Orders and Expanding.

Farming (click here to see more)
Crops, such as Wheat and Corn, are used in many recipes. You'll also use them to feed your animals. Plant a crop by tapping on an empty plot. Tap the crops that appear at the bottom of the screen to plant them.

When crops are ready to harvest, a sickle tool will appear on screen! Drag the sickle on top of the ready crops to harvest them. For each crop you plant, you'll get 2 of that crop back. For example, when you plant 4 Wheat, you'll get 8 Wheat when you harvest them.

Animals (click here to see more)
You'll need pens to hold your animals, up to 4 animals in a single pen. You can buy animals and pens in the Market. Alternatively, you can buy animals by tapping on a pen. Only one kind of animal fits in each pen.

Feeding animals will cause them to produce resources after a short time. For example, cows produce milk and chickens produce eggs. Feed animals by tapping on the pen and then tapping on their feed bag icon at the bottom of the screen. When animals are ready to collect, a bucket will appear on the screen! Drag the bucket over the ready animals to collect from them. Make feed for your animals in the Feed Mill.

Crafting Goods (click here to see more)
Crafting is one of the most important things to do in Farm Story 2. There are a number of different buildings for you to use: the Feed Mill, the Kitchen, the Dairy, the Deep Fryer, and more. Each of these buildings has a different set of recipes that you can create.

To craft goods, tap on a crafting building. Next, tap the item you want to make and then tap the [Craft] button to add it to the queue. As long as you have enough ingredients, you can queue up multiple goods within a crafting building. This allows you to make more items at the same time.

Completing Deliveries (click here to see more)
Completing Deliveries is the best way to level up and gain coins. View the list of available orders by tapping on the Delivery Warehouse.

Collect, harvest and craft all the required items in a delivery, and then press the [Send] button to send the Delivery Plane to town with your goods. When the plane returns, tap it to collect coins, experience and sometimes expansion parts. Deliveries are the heart of Farm Story 2! Check your Delivery Warehouse often.

Trains (click here to see more)
At level 25, you unlock Train Deliveries. To use the Train, expand to the Train Station located on the north side of your Farm and repair it. When the Train arrives, tap on the Train Station. You have a limited amount of time to complete the Train delivery. Tap on goods to load them into the Train. Achieve Bronze, Silver and Gold milestones to earn bonus rewards.

Farmers' Market and Delivery Trucks (click here to see more)
At level 7, you will unlock the Farmer's Market and Delivery Trucks! Expand to the Farmer's Market and repair it and you'll be open for business in no time! All of the local businesses will send their Delivery Trucks straight to your farm to collect the freshest, most 'organic' goods that your farm has to offer!

When the truck arrives, tap on it or the Farmer's Market to transfer goods and complete the orders. The time to deliver all the goods is limited so act fast or the delivery trucks will leave! As a reward for a successful delivery, you'll earn Cowbells that may be traded in for new and exclusive prizes like crafting buildings, exclusive crafts, and much more!

Expanding Your Farm (click here to see more)
Expanding your farm requires you to be at least level 2. Expanding requires expansion papers: Land Deeds, Expansion Permits and Old Maps. You'll get these occasionally from sending Deliveries. Later expansions require expansion parts: Survey Machines, For Sale Signs, and New Maps or blue expansion parts: Holo Maps, Online Listings, or Typography Charts. Once unlocked, these also occasionally drop from deliveries. Expand your Farm by tapping the Expand signs that appear at the borders of your farm.

Create a Storm8 ID

Before you can add neighbours, you must first create a Storm8 ID. To create a Storm8 ID open the Social page from the Menu and tap the Invite tab. If you already have a Storm8 ID it will be displayed at the top of the page. If you do not have a Storm8 ID, you will have to sign up for one.

Remember that when choosing a Storm8 ID this is what you will give to other players if you want them to invite you as a neighbour, so be sure that you choose wisely.

Note: Your Storm8 ID and password are important for recovering your Storm8 games in case you lose your device or games.

**Rynetory2** · 02-13-16, 05:50 AM

Market

You can purchase crop plots, bushes, trees, animals, pets, buildings and decorations from the Market. Click on the bottom right icon on your screen to access the Market. Click on the various tabs and see the items available.

Neighbours

Farm Story 2 is more fun when you play with friends and join in the community.

Community
The Community is composed of everyone who plays Farm Story 2. You can help members of the Community by visiting their farms or writing an encouraging comment on their walls. To find members of the Community, visit the Social page by tapping the icon in the top right corner of the game, and tap the Community tab. From here you can view a list of several Community members and go to their Farms by tapping the Visit button.

When you visit another player's farm, you can interact with the buildings that have been built. This increases your Social Rating. Your Social Rating is displayed at the bottom of the Farm you are visiting and can range from 0 to 4 hearts. A higher Social Rating increases your chances of appearing at the top of the Community list when other players are looking for someone to visit. Keep in mind that you can only interact with a limited number of buildings at each player you visit per day, so if you want to get a Social Rating of 4, you will need to help several community members or neighbours (explained in the Playing With Friends section).

Playing with friends

You can become neighbours with your friends from other Storm8 Studios and Storm8 games or become neighbours with community members you've met in Farm Story 2. A neighbour is similar to a Community member but you can send them gifts and gain experience when visiting them each day. Before you can add neighbours (explained in the Playing With Friends section) you must first create a Storm8 ID. To become neighbours you need to follow these easy steps:

1. Select Social from the Main Menu, tap the Invite tab and signup for a Storm8 ID if you haven't already.
2. Click the empty box next to the "Friend's Storm8 ID" text, enter your friend's Storm8 ID, and tap Invite.

You have now invited someone to be your neighbour. They won't show up as your neighbour until they accept the invite. Likewise, other players can invite you to be their neighbour using your Storm8 ID. To see if someone has invited you to become their neighbour, select Social and tap the Invite tab. Neighbour Requests that you have received will be displayed and you can either accept or decline them. You can also add your Storm8 ID and find other players looking for neighbours in the Add Me forum.

Neighbour quick-add
When you visit another player's farm via the Community list or the newspaper, you can instantly send a neighbour invite by tapping on the Add Neighbour button at the bottom right-hand side of the screen.

You must have a Storm8 ID in order to Quick-Add other players. You can only Quick-Add up to 3 players each day. You can still invite additional neighbours from the Invite tab in the Social menu.

Giving gifts to your friends
To give a gift to another player, you must first add them as a neighbour. You can then send a gift either directly through the Neighbours page by tapping the [Gift] button next to their name or by visiting a neighbour's farm and then tapping the [Gift] icon on the bottom right side of the screen. When you send a gift, you are not giving up items you already have, and it doesn't cost anything. It is like buying your friends presents for completely free! Your friends will surely appreciate that and return the favor. Do note that you can only send 3 gifts daily. If you select more than 3 neighbours, the game will randomly select 3 neighbours from your selection.

Receiving gifts from neighbours
When a neighbour sends you a gift, a News icon will appear on your screen. Tap it to open it and accept or decline the gifts you've been sent. There will be an option to send a return gift.

I have some updates for you regarding the questions you have asked in the thread.

1. Will future expansions require old expansion papers? Can we sell them off?

Sorry I'm afraid there's no answer to this as Storm8 does not speculate future game developments. I would suggest that you keep both old papers and new parts just in case. I am keeping mine and sell off the spares.

2. For members who have not fully expanded their farm, when will the new expansion parts drop?

New expansion parts will not drop until Brave New Future is completed as I mentioned earlier.

Once you complete the Brave New Future goal, your Discover The Future goal will appear.

3. New expansion parts currently come only from the Order Warehouse's deliveries.
