Summer Grove

Cost: 500 coins
Description: Reduces trees growth time by 15% for Level 1, and 25% for Level 2

---

The Summer Grove is a storage object that allows you to place 36 trees within the fenced off area. It is very handy because trees not placed in a grove have a very large footprint. In the grove, you can literally place trees right next to each other. After you place the Summer Grove, you will have to ask for parts to build it. This grove does also have Ranch Cash parts needed to complete it.

Parts Needed: 

• Grove Fence 1: (ASK) - 20 pieces
• Grove Fence 2: (3 RC each) - 3 pieces

After you've completed building the Summer Grove, and you are ready to place trees in it, Click the MOVE icon in your settings panel.

The Summer Grove will look like this in MOVE mode. The light green spots are available spots whereas the dark green spots mean there is already a tree there. If you try to place a tree on top of a square with a tree already on it, the square will turn red.

Once you have selected a tree to place in the grid, it will look like this. 

After you have placed the tree, the visual of the tree will disappear, and the grid will look like this. The newest tree is in the dark green, the already placed trees are red, and the empty spots are light green.

The Summer Grove can be upgraded to Level 2, where it will then not only support 36 trees, but it will reduce their growth time by 25%. When you are done placing trees, click the MOVE button again to release MOVE mode. Now, when you mouse over your Summer Grove, it will have the trees you placed, as well as a control panel. The green lines around each tree show how much longer the tree has before it's fully ready to harvest. If you mouse over the picture of the tree, it will show a countdown timer to harvest. If you have trees ready to harvest, the HARVEST button will change to blue and you can click it once to harvest the multiple trees that are ready. 

Clicking the UPGRADE button will open up a panel with some additional information about the grove. Click the second UPGRADE button to get to the panel where you can build your Level 2 Summer Grove.

Now you can ask friends for materials to upgrade the Summer Grove to its full functionality and then your trees will be ready to harvest in 25% less time. The Summer Grove's maximum level is 2.

Parts Needed:

• Big Brick Fence 1: (ASK) - 20 pieces
• Big Brick Fence 2: (ASK) - 20 pieces
• Sunflower Fence 1: (ASK) - 20 pieces
• Sunflower Fence 2: (ASK) - 20 pieces

Completed Level 2 Summer Grove

Warehouse

Cost: 15,000 coins

The warehouse is the building where you can store extra items from your farm if you find yourself running low on space. When you place your warehouse, you will need to staff it before you can start to use it. If you click the HIRE FRIENDS button, you will be able to choose from a list of your friends who currently play Family Farm. If you click the INVITE button, you will be asked to choose from friends who do not have the application. If you click the BUY button, you can fill the positions with 3 Ranch Cash each. Once all the positions have been filled, the warehouse will automatically become functional.

There are five categories of things allowed in the warehouse, Animals, Gear, Decorations, Buildings, and Super Soil. Up at the top of the Warehouse Control Panel is the amount of storage you currently have. The warehouse starts out with 20 storage slots, and you can upgrade to get more slots, by asking for parts. On the top left, is a secondary sorting function, with the choices Alphabetic and Quantity.

The crown at the top right is where you can choose your warehouses' appearance if you have the correct amount of Honor Points.

Clicking the Add button if you have space, will make your cursor turn into a box with an arrow on it, where you can then select which item on your farm you would like to place in the warehouse. To use an item again, click USE and you can place it back on your farm.

To give yourself more storage, click the Level up button. Every stage of the warehouse upgrade requires Tile, Wood, and Paint. The higher the level, the more parts you will need.

Level 1 (Default 20 slots): (ASK) - 3 staff slots filled
Level 2 (Upgrades to 30 slots): (ASK) - Tile - 10 pieces, Wood - 10 pieces, Paint - 10 pieces
Level 3 (Upgrades to 40 slots): (ASK) - Tile - 20 pieces, Wood - 20 pieces, Paint - 20 pieces
Level 4 (Upgrades to 50 slots): (ASK) - Tile - 30 pieces, Wood - 30 pieces, Paint - 30 pieces
