Farmerama

AGameplay

The gameplay is similar to FarmVille as there are crops, trees and animals, but there no purchasable buildings. Instead, there decorative items for your farm.

Crops:

There are currently 48 crop types in the game. (Not including Bahamarama) The list includes: Lettuce, wheat, carrots, hay, oats, sunflowers, corn, celery, potatoes, hops, cucumbers, rhubarb, fennel, strawberry, tomato, bluebell, gooseberry, beans, cabbage, tulips, mushrooms, watermelons, pumpkins, radishes, sage, lavender, asparagus, canola, blueberry, lilies, oyster mushrooms, hazelnuts, kohlrabi, onions, red roses, sugar beet, broccoli, garlic, red cabbages, spinach, artichokes, raspberries, barley, leek, rye, spelt carnation, lady's bedstraw and cauliflower.

Trees:

There are currently 23 types of trees in the game, including special trees. (Not Including Bahamarama) The standard list includes: Apple trees, walnut trees, plum trees, pear trees, cherry trees, orange trees, yellow pear trees, date trees, olive trees, almond trees, and maple trees. Special trees are usually introduced in events in the game. After the event is over it is possible for the tree to be unattainable until another event happens, or if the devolpers decide to put it as a prize on the farm wheel. Some special trees bare fruits like standard trees, while some just give EP, (Experience Points.) and are the only trees that can be placed in the park. The list of special is as follows: Peach tree, chestnut tree, gold leaf tree, magnolia tree, gingko tree, scented tree, spring tree, rainbow tree, Mirabelle plum tree, egg tree, Christmas tree, lemon tree, milk tree and BB tree.

Animals:

There are currently 24 animal types including special animals. (Not including Bahamarama) The standard animal include: Chickens, rabbits, goats, ducks, turkeys, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, fish, bees, peacocks, ostriches, donkeys and beavers. Special animals are much like special trees. (More info above) They include: Moose, bats, reindeer, kangaroos butterflies, squirrels, fireflies, groundhogs and skunks.

Production Pens:

Instead of growing and collecting animals, production pens use animals to make products. Some products are realistic, such as milk from cows, while others aren't. Such at paint from turkeys. The production pens include: Chicken egg farm, rabbit shearing shed, goat deary, Bat guano production, paint factory, (Turkeys) feather collecting station, (Ducks) sheep shearing shed, pig nursery, (Pigs collect truffles) Cow dairy, rodeo ranch, (Horses) koi pond, (fish) apiary, (Bees) ostrich egg farm and a beaver sawmill. Production pens use animals and their corresponding animal feed. Once an animal is used in the production pen, it's gone forever. Unlike animal pens which can simply be bought with CC's, (Country Coins) when you reach the appropriate level, production pens must be built with tools. Tools can be collected in various ways, from harvest rewards, to tool boxes that can be bought from the supply store for BB's. (Barnyard Bills) Small tool boxes can also be given as gifts from friends and neighbors.

Upgrades:

Animal pens, trees and some production pens (Breeding animal specific) can be upgraded. Upgrades include: Faster production time, more EP's (Experience points) and the possibility of more animals/products per harvest. Basic level upgrades can be bought with CC's. (Country Coins) More advanced upgrades have to be bought with BB's (Barnyard Bills) and the most advanced upgrades must be built with breeding animals and tools in the workshop. (Animal and production pens only)

Harvest Rewards:

Harvest rewards are tools rewarded to you from harvesting crops, trees, animal pens and production pens. Tools are used to build production pens. What you get is completely random. Harvest rewards include: Wood board, nails, hammers, shovels, saws, spray cans, oak seedlings, queen bees, feather collectors, wooden mallets, bricks, roof tiles, paint, machine parts, scissors and air conditioners.

Decorations:

There are hundreds of decorative items in Farmerama. (Way to many to list.) In fact, there are so many there is a park to put them all in. (More info on the park below.) Some items are just purely decorative, while others give EP (Experience Points) and occasionally, some will give CC's. (Country Coins.) Some decorations can be bought in the supply store, but most are won through event challenges.

Events:

Events occur quite often in Farmerama. Some times several a month. Events range from holidays, to celebrating large real world events, (Such as the soccer world cup in 2010, or the royal wedding in 2011.) as well as their own events. (such as the alien event, or moonlight mania.) Events bring with them new contracts and participating in events can be beneficial. prizes range from EP's, CC's and BB's, (Experience Points, Country Coins and Barnyard Bills.) as well as power feed, super grow, stars, among other things. Events usually have a top level prize of an appropriate to the event decoration that gives EP's. Most events last as little 24 hours to a week, but occasionally, an event can last upwards of a month.

Moonlight Mania:

Moonlight Mania is the only event that usually reoccurs monthly. Each month, near, or on the date of the full moon, you'll be able to enter a "night mode" on the main field of your farm for 24 hours. Once the event has begun, you'll be able to grow "spooky crops" and you can trade them in at Jack's shop for some unique items. Spooky crops include: Killer tomatoes, monster pumpkins, bonetrees, tombstones, and ghosts. More information on Moonlight Mania here.

Renzo's Traveling Fair:

Renzo's fair is another reoccurring event that usually happens a few times a year. When in town, you receive 10 tickets each day if you sign in within 24 hours of midnight in game time. (6PM U.S. Eastern time) You can then use those tickets to play mini-games to earn tokens called "Game Chips." Once you've earned enough chips, you can then trade them in for prizes. (Prizes vary each time the fair comes to town.) Tickets and chips can be saved and used anytime the fair comes to town. There are currently 3 mini-games to play: "Bean the Groundhog" (Whack-A-Mole) , "Mach-O-Meter" (High Striker) and "Loot Shoot." (Click on a treasure chest and hopefully find a key in it, if you do you move on to the next round. If not, you'll find chips and you game is over. For more information on Renzo's fair you can click here.

Breeding animals:

Introduced in March, 2011 Animal breeding allows you to obtain colored variants of animals. (Not unlocked until level 21.) Currently, there are 5 animal types that are supported for breeding, chickens, rabbits, sheep, cows and bats. (Bat breeding must be unlocked during the Moonlight Mania event) There are 9 colors of each animal. (Including the standard color of each animal.) It takes 4 of each colored animal to make 1 of the next colored animal. Once you have used the 4 animals to breed, they are gone forever. The higher colored animals are extremely valuable, selling for millions of CC's (Country Coins) on the market. Colored sheep include: Brownie, blackie, baldy, curly, snuggles, glitter, rosy and goldie. Colored rabbits include: Cocoa, cuddles, trixx, scaredy, snowy, abracadabra, flopsy and Easter bunny. Colored chickens include: Roaster, silky, cuckoo, gumbo, mini, breezy rainbow and golden hen. Colored cows include: Brown cow, white cow, alpine cow, highland cow, flaming steer, cowgirl, milky way cow and milkshake cow. Colored bats include: Albino bat, brown bat, hungry bat, furry bat, vampire bat, sporty bat, rocker bat and heroic bat. Unlike animal pens, or production pens, breeding animals requires power feed. (More info on power feed below.) Breeding normally takes 6 hours, but can be reduced to as little a 22 minutes with pheromones. Pheromones can be bought in the supply store in the city, won in some contracts, or be gifted to, or from friends and neighbors. More detailed information on breeding here.

The tree of wisdom:

Introduced in May, 2011 the tree of wisdom is located in the magical glade. (accessed at level 14. More info below) It features several carvings that can be unlocked via stars. Unlocking carvings can either give you in game items, (Such as a peach tree) in game advantages (Such as faster animal feed production) or unlock features in the game. (Such as access to Bahamarama, or early access to the the Park.) You can obtain stars by leveling up, completing contracts at the Farmer's Society, (More info below) or occasionally as a prize on the farm wheel. (More info below)

A full list of carvings can be viewed here

Currencies:

There are 2 types of currencies in the game: Country Coins (CC's) and barnyard Bills. (BB's)

CC's are the main currency in the gane. They are used to buy seeds for crops, animal pens, water, trees, market transactions etc.

BB's are Bigpoint's micro transaction currency. They are used to purchase upgrades for animals and trees, power feed and super grow, toolbox items etc. Small amounts of BB's can also be won during events. 1 BB is also received each time you level up. You can buy as little as 50 BB's for $2.99 USD, or as many as 3,300 BB for $99.99 USD.

Power-Feed and Super-Grow:

Power-Feed and Super-Grow are usually bought with Barnyard Bills, but can be won during events and occasionally on the farm wheel. Small quantities of Power-Feed can also be made in the mill. (More info below) Power-Feed reduces animal growth time by half. It's also used to breed animals. (More info on breeding above.)

Super-grow reduces field crop growth time by half.

Friends and neighbors:

At level 17, (Earlier if you unlock the appropriate carving on the tree of wisdom) you gain access to the Green Meadow which requires you to have at least 12 neighbors to fully clear the land for use. (With a standard account, you can have a total of 18 neighbors with a premium account. 24 neighbors. If you unlock the appropriate carving on the tree of wisdom. Add 6 to each of those numbers. You can send messages and gifts to your neighbors. You can also get married to one of your neighbors. (More info on how to add neighbors to your list here.) If your neighbor list is full and you still want more friends, you can add them to your friends list, which allows you to send them messages and gifts.

Marriage:

Introduced in February 2011, Marriage allows you and a neighbor to gain extra EP's (Experience Points) off of each other. The amount of points depends on which level of wedding ring you or your potential partner purchases. Once married, you and your partner will receive a wedding arch. One arch will receive a countdown timer. Once the timer is complete and the person collects the EP (Experience Points) It will go to the other persons arch and do the same thing and the process repeats indefinitely. (EP and the amount of time varies on the ring level.) You can also send a kiss to your partner each day which also gives them EP. (EP varies on the ring level) More detailed info on marriage here.

Gifts:

Each day, you can send up to 5 free gifts to your friends and neighbors. (7 if you've unlocked the appropriate carving on the tree of wisdom) You can send more for varying prices of Barnyard Bills. (Excluding Toolbox items, bouquets.) You can find a full list of gifts and what they do here.

Crafting:

Crafting was introduced in August of 2011. At level 40 you gain access to the artisans' village. There you can choose to be in one of two trades. You can either be a baker, or a confectioner. (Jam maker) Once you've chosen a trade, you can optionally purchase the other trade for $2.99 USD. To help withe your decision, you can read more on crafting here.
