If the settings are all good to go and the Farmhands are still not working, it may be a bug and should be reported to the devs. In that situation, I would recommend checking the settings both in-farm and in the main menu to see if the Farmhands are disallowed to do some activities, such as feeding animals. But if the Farmhand has active contracted time (has been paid to work for at least 1 hour), there is plenty of Coins on the farm to keep up with feeding all of the animals, and there are feed symbols (beets) on the animal pens, and the Farmhand is just standing there for more than a few seconds, then something is not working correctly. I think maybe chickens may be a 5 minute or so feed cycle. So, during the course of 5-10 minutes, especially if the season hadn't changed, there would not be much for them to do. But, if they have only like 12 things to tend to, half animals, half trees, they would be spending most of their time standing around since they only feed animals once their food is out (maybe very low) and trees once per season. How were you giving them pink medals for their floaty boxes? :o Farmhands' pink boxes mean that they can be paid (Tickets) to work, up to 4 hours if manually paid individually, but you can do just 1 hour at a time, which will leave the pink box if they can be paid for more time. I mostly use my Farmhands for auto repeat things that I don't have to check on very often like trees, but I think only a few of my farms have Farmhands. I think maybe the Farmhands get the most use later game when the farm gets so big that the farm owner can't get to everything in the time they have and don't regularly have friends helping them out. During an Event, that Event's items will be ignored. They will harvest Event harvestables and water/feed them if they need food or water, but not while that Event item's Event is active. Farmhands can work on tiles within 6 tiles radius around them. Farmhands walk and don't run and can teleport around/passed things that may be in their way. But that's been a long while since I think I saw it. I seem to remember seeing some settings somewhere, possibly in Farm Settings?, that allow a farm owner to enable and disable certain things that Farmhands can do. They cannot plant anything or use markets or use most buildings. Farmhands can harvest and water crops, replough planting tiles, harvest and water flowers, harvest trees, harvest fish, harvest and feed animals, and harvest beehives. The cost in Ribbons to place them increases with each purchase. They each get paid 2 Tickets per hour, up to 4 hours at a time without a Union, up to 8? hours with a Union at a higher rate. There can be up to 15 Farmhands per farm. They will harvest things closest to them first. They wait until flowers or crops are almost out of water to water them. They wait until animals are out of food to feed them (and only if there is enough coins to do so). Here's what I know about Farm hands: Farmhands only work while the farm is open. My conclusion: Farmhands can be useful, but in most cases they aren't. Even sprinklers do not guarantee 100% irrigation if there is frost in winter. I turn my round and feed the animals, I don't water the flowers at all. Possibly also for the crops, but not always. That saves me having to go through the trees at any time of the year. Otherwise the farm hands just stand around doing nothing. They are only poured when the water indicator is at a low level. You can easily find out if you pay the farm hands before leaving the farm and then re-enter the farm the next day.Īnimals are only fed by the farm hands when the feed falls below a certain level. Accordingly, it is easier to decide where to use farmhands and where not.įarmhands are only active when you are on the farm yourself. The problem is that the game doesn't explain exactly what Farmhands actually do and how. In the meantime, Not happy being 50 flipping pink medals out for 3 USELESS Farmhands! (God forbid they EVER fill the animals feeding dish.pan or whatever that round red dish is)! Then they SIT the Happy Hell down or just stand there! Occasionally they may pick one maybe two crops. All the Farmhands seem to do is just stand there. The same thing happens when visiting farms. What flipping good are Farmhands?! 'Cause I'll ya, I'm missing it. Just standing under that blasted umbrella, playing Tiddlywinks! On top of this BS, they got 50 of my pink metals for practically NO work. All my animals were NOT fed and were starving. When I came back in-game a little later to see how the Farmhands were fairing. 1 almond tree for each Farmhand in different spots on my farm). And have them pick a few surrounding crops. I placed them so they would tend to the animals (Feed: 1 chicken pen. Farmhands, who needs them?! I placed 3 of them around my farm to help out.
