Q: What do animals do?
Currently they stand around looking schmart and stuff. Once you reach level 7, you can sell them for cash.

Q: When can I expand my farm?
While that is a feature that will be brought in as soon as possible, the developers are currently working on fixing any current bugs and problems first (over the next few weeks) before bringing new features into the game.

Q: Why can’t I sell animals and trees?
You will be able to sell your trees and animals when you reach level 7.

Q. How can I make money? I’m broke and can’t plow or plant anything.
There are several ways to make money.
– Add neighbours and help them on their farms for extra coins and experience as often as the game allows.
– Log onto FarmVille every day to get some extra coins from the daily lottery.
– Ask your neighbors to send you trees as gifts. After a few days you will be able to harvest them for extra coins.

Q: Can I delete plots that I’ve plowed if I don’t like where they are?
Yes. Click on the spade shovel in the bottom right corner to delete fields and objects.

Q: Is there a way to ‘permanently’ turn off the music and sounds?
No sorry. However, the developers do think this is a great idea for future features!

The amount of time it takes to mature is the amount of time it takes to wither.

Q: How do I find out how many experience points I need to get to go up to the next level?
If you hover over your experience bar (located in the upper middle area of your farm screen) with your mouse, it will show you what the experience points are for reaching the next level.

Q: Can I change the name of my farm?
Currently, we are all stuck with the default farm names that the game gives us. In the future, it may be possible to rename your farm.

Q: How many experience points should I get from each seed?
Plants that take less than 1 day to ripen will give you 1 point. Plants that take a day or more will give you 2pts.

Q: What do buildings do?
Besides making your farm look fabulous, they do give experinece points when purchased.

Q: Is there a save button?
A: No, there isn’t a save button for the farm itself, just for the avatar creation. However, the developers may add one after the currently known bugs and glitches are fixed.
