Farm Cash offer information
We have had many people inquire about the Farm Cash requests; how to send them, how to respond to them, and why they do not always work. Many of us have seen the request link, "Farm Cash Offers: Click Here to hire some friends and earn up to 30 FarmCash!" at the top of our farm just below the "Send Gifts" and "Play" buttons. If you have the link showing there, then you are able to send and receive these requests to work for Farm Cash (FC). Once you have reached your maximum allowed amount of $30 FC, the link will disappear indefinately. During that time, you cannot work for others to receive FC or send out FC requests, even though you may still receive requests from others who have not reached their limit. While we would love to help these neighbors, the game does not permit it.
To accept a FC request from a friend, go to "Apps and Games" on the left-hand side of your HOME page. This will show all your requests for games and you will find the requests you've received to work for FC on this page. When you accept one of these requests, it will take you to your farm then a message will pop up asking if you would like to work on a friend's farm to earn FC. If you click on yes, it will take you to the neighbor's farm and you are then able to harvest any crops, flowers, or trees that are ready. (We ask that you only harvest ONE item, so that others who answer the challenge will have something to harvest as well.) Once you harvest an item, another pop up will appear saying you have earned one FC for harvesting at a neighbor's farm. Refresh your page and it will bring you to your farm and ask if you would like to earn FC again. Click on yes and it will take you to the same neighbor's farm. There will be another pop up asking if you would like to work in this neighbor's facilities to earn $2 FC. Once you work in the neighbor's facility (you only have to work in one facility), another message should pop up saying that you have earned $2 FC for working for your neighbor. Now you can go back to your gameplay or your other requests.
When you send these requests out to your friends and neighbors, please make sure to set your default farm to one that has both harvesting and facility work on it. Also be aware that not everyone can do the requests as they have reached their limit. We have no idea why they work for some and not for others, but it can't hurt to try if you receive one of these invites. If you're unable to earn anything, then you will know that you're locked out, (at least for now) but you may want to occasionally try one when you receive them.
Occasionally, the game may get stuck in a loop, which will cause you to get the same request popping up each time you go to your Farm Town game. If this occurs, we recommend that you run the memcache cleaner (http://apps.facebook.com/farmtown/play/?do=clear_memcached) and clearing your browser's cache, history, and cookies. Sometimes this will not stop the recurring pop-up, in which case you may contact Slashkey with the problem.
