Hens and eggs

- Happy hens lay more, and now and then there's a golden egg.
- Expand your coop (+4 hens per level), and get a bigger basket and warehouse.
04
Cows, sheep and corn
- Your farm starts with a cow barn with 2 cows and a pen with 5 sheep.
- Want more? Buy cows (900 coins) or sheep (140 coins) at the village market, as long as the barn or pen has room.
- Hold [E] at the barn's station to milk, then press [E] to carry the milk to the warehouse.
- The milk goes into the tank, then the warehouse, then you sell it.
- In the field: plough, sow, water and harvest the corn (hold [E]).
05
Selling and money
- Sell at the Shipping Centre [E]. There's a transport fee, so sell 3 eggs or more.
- Or load the truck at the loading dock and drive it to the village market, where prices are better.
- You start with 600 farm coins. Earn more by selling, and spend them on your farm.
- Game money is earned only by playing, never turns into real money, and nothing is sold for real money.
