Together is better
Level 10 Start a Farm family or join one, with up to 10 farmers. The Family screen shows the busiest families you can join first. The leader chooses who can join: Open (anyone joins at once; a new family starts open), Request to join (you ask, the leader or a co-leader accepts or declines within 3 days), Invite only (the leader or a co-leader invites you by your player name) or Closed (nobody new). An open family or one taking requests can also set a minimum level; an invitation still works for anyone. You can ask one family at a time.
Tap a family's name, in the list, the tournament or a farmer's profile, to see its family profile: its level, its farmers, the tournaments it won and the chests it opened.
Ranks and the top farmer
The leader gives the family its ranks. Co-leaders (at most 2) can do everything the leader does: accept requests, invite and remove farmers, and change the emblem, the name and who can join. They cannot change ranks, hand over the leadership or remove the leader or the other co-leader. Honorary is a title of thanks, without extra rights. Everyone else is a member.
The farmer who brings the most points into the Family Chest this week wears the top farmer crown in the member list and on the family profile, until the week ends on Monday, 00:00 UTC.
The Family Chest
Every week your family fills one chest together. Everything members do on their farm counts: two harvests 1 point, a collected batch 2 points, a delivery 10 points, a chore 3 points, a helping-hand job 2 points. At each chest, everyone who put in at least 300 points that week gets its rewards in full: nothing is split, and the coins follow your own level. A new chest starts on Monday at 00:00 UTC.
| Chest | Family points | Diamonds | Coins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wooden chest | 1,500 | 2 | 20 × your level |
| Iron chest | 5,000 | 3 | 50 × your level |
| Silver chest | 12,000 | 6 | 100 × your level |
| Golden chest | 25,000 | 12 | 200 × your level |

Golden chestA bigger, busier family fills it further: a keen farmer alone reaches the wooden chest, a family of five the silver one, and gold takes a full family. Collect your rewards on the Family screen within 8 weeks.
The Family Order
Every week your family gets one big order. Every family gets the same goods that week; a bigger family gets bigger amounts, set when the week’s order is made. Each line takes only what it still needs, and deliveries cannot be taken back. You deliver to one family a week.
Every good you deliver brings points: its full value in coins. Everyone who delivered at least 500 points to the order shares in its rewards. The whole order pays a coin for every point (25% more than the Market pays at its normal price), 1 XP for every 100 points and diamonds:
| Your points | Coins | XP | Diamonds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 500 | 5 | 1 |
| 10,000 | 10,000 | 100 | 2 |
Every full line pays a quarter of these rewards. An order that is not finished pays for its full lines when the week ends, on Monday at 00:00 UTC: with 2 of its 4 lines full, half. The whole order pays everything as soon as its last line is full, plus 2 diamonds for finishing it, shared by points. An order without a full line pays nothing, but every delivery still counts for the tournament. The family level adds its bonus to all of it, and everything is rounded down; an order that is not finished still gives at least 1 diamond for every full line, never more than the whole order would. What 20,000 points, about one farmer’s part of an order, earn:
| Full lines | Coins | XP | Diamonds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 of 4 | 5,000 | 50 | 1 |
| 2 of 4 | 10,000 | 100 | 2 |
| 3 of 4 | 15,000 | 150 | 2 |
| All 4 | 20,000 | 200 | 2 + a share of 2 |
The weekly tournament
- Points
Your family’s points are the value in coins of everything its members deliver that week: to the order and as tournament goods. Family Chest points do not count. The most points wins; with equal points, the family that got there first.
- Tournament goods
Once one line of the order is full, the Tournament tab takes any crop or good from your farm (nothing from the village), as many as you like. They count for the tournament only: no coins, XP or diamonds.
- The prize
The top ten families share the prize pool. A family’s prize is shared by points among the members who delivered and are still in the family when the week ends: leave before then and your share goes to the others. In the top ten, everyone who delivered gets at least 1 diamond.
| Place | Share of the pool |
|---|---|
| 1 | 25% |
| 2 | 17% |
| 3 | 13% |
| 4 | 10% |
| 5 | 8% |
| 6 | 7% |
| 7 | 6% |
| 8 | 5% |
| 9 | 5% |
| 10 | 4% |
With fewer than ten families, the same shares split the whole pool.
Family level
Every chest your family opens, in any week, is a step towards the next family level. Every level adds 10% to the rewards of the Family Chest and the weekly Family Order, for every member; not to the tournament or events. The level belongs to the family: it stays when farmers come and go. The family list shows each family's level.
| Level | Chests opened | Extra rewards |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | – |
| 2 | 3 | +10% |
| 3 | 8 | +20% |
| 4 | 15 | +30% |
| 5 | 24 | +40% |
| 6 | 35 | +50% |
| 7 | 48 | +60% |
| 8 | 63 | +70% |
| 9 | 80 | +80% |
| 10 | 100 | +90% |
Your family flag
When you are in a Farm family, its flag stands by your Family Hall: the family emblem in the family colour, with the family level on it.
The family pages
- This week
A big order for the whole family. Everyone delivers what they can. Every full line pays a quarter of the coins, XP and diamonds to everyone who delivered at least 500 points’ worth, when the week ends; the whole order pays everything at once. Deliveries cannot be taken back.
- Sharing
Give coins, send gifts and ask your family for goods. See Sharing goods and coins below.
- Tournament
Every week families compete; your deliveries count as points. The prize pool grows with every family taking part: 50 diamonds for one family, 100 for two, 150 for three and 25 more for every family after that (up to 5,000). The top ten families share it, from 25% for first place down to 4% for tenth. A family's prize is shared by what each member delivered.
- Members
See who is online, who has been away for a day or more and how much everyone did this week. The leader or a co-leader can invite farmers.
- Stats
The week in numbers: your family’s place, what every farmer put in and your last weeks.
Sharing goods and coins
Level 10 Family members help each other every day from the Sharing tab of your Farm family. Everything comes from your own farm and arrives right away.
- Who can share
- You are level 10 or higher.
- Your farm is at least 48 hours old.
- You have been in this family for at least 24 hours.
- The farmer you help or send a gift to must meet all three too.
- Give coins
Help gives a member your level × 25 coins (level 10: 250, level 30: 750, level 50: 1,250). They come out of your coins and the member gets all of them.
- Send a gift
Send any crop or good from your storage: up to 5 for every 10 levels (level 10: 5, level 30: 15, level 50: 25).
- Ask for goods
Once a day, ask your family for up to that many of one crop or good. You have one request open at a time. It stays open for 3 days, or until it is full. Everyone adds 1, 5 or all they have, as often as they like, and every part arrives at once.
- Daily limits
Up to 3 helps and 3 gifts a day, and one of each to the same farmer. A farmer receives up to 3 helps and 3 gifts a day. Giving to a request has no limit. Everything starts again at midnight UTC.
- What stays with you
Heirlooms from the Seed Lab and crops from the Season Pass cannot be shared. Goods from the village and the harbour stay in their world.
Collecting rewards
Chest, order and tournament rewards wait on the Family screen until you collect them, for 8 weeks after their week ends. They stay yours if you change family.
Family chat
Your family has its own chat. See Chat and house rules.
The leader or a co-leader can share the family in the global chat, once a day, with Share in chat under Members. Its card shows the emblem, the family level and the farmers, with a button to join the family or look at it.
Events together
When 3 or more members of your family finish the same event, each of them gets 500 and 3 on top of their own prize. They do not have to be in the same league. See Events.
Changing family
Left a family, or did a family remove you? You can join another family straight away. Only the family that removed you stays closed to you for 48 hours. Delivered to your old family this week? Then you deliver to your new one from Monday.
Away too long
A member who doesn't play for 30 days leaves the family automatically, so the seat is free for a farmer who plays. The leader or a co-leader can choose 7, 14, 30, 60 or 90 days in Family settings. The leader never leaves this way. The family keeps that week's points, as when a member leaves. When you come back, Welcome back offers to join that family again straight away, while it has room.
