Hi,
I played a lot to farm together in the last months, and as I have less creativity for my personal fun, i would like to give some information on how things work in this game. I have to admit, I love mathematics, and I also love to plan the development of my farms. And I did not find a lot of information on how things work, so I took some time to understand all this and give you here in this guide the answers I found.

Please, notice that :
I did not verify every single number in this guide, a lot is just an estimation or approximation, as i dont have the formula used by devs. If someone has them, I would be happy to have this information and will update the guide with them.

This guide is written in may 2021, things can change with new update of the game.
For the moment, i only give values for “normal” map. If there are enough people asking, I'll try to make the same work for the “hard” map (the flat one).


I love crazy map :p

This game is a farming game, meaning the basic principle is to do and do again actions to earn experience and upgrade your farm.

There is 3 type of experience to earn :

• Farmer experience
  
• Farm experience
  
• Items experience

Farm and farmer experience are earned for most of the actions made in the game, from planting crops, plowing earth, harvesting, fishing,etc...

They are separated for 3 reasons :
- you can have more than one farm, so the farmer experience is cumulative with all your farms.
- your farmer earn experience for the same actions when you go to another player’s farm,
- Other player working on your farm will earn xp, even handfarmer will give xp for your farm

You can see your farmer experience in the star on the upper left corner :



The farmer leveling unlocks a few things :

• It gives a bigger fuel tank to your tractor
  
• The boost meter will get 1 extra minute added to your total maximum boost timer
  
• It unlocks new customizations for your farmer, tractor and pet

You earn experience from a lot of actions in the game (but not all) :

• Plowing earth (1 xp)
  
• Planting crops
  
• Harvesting crop
  
• Planting tree
  
• Harvesting tree
  
• Planting flower
  
• Harvesting flower
  
• Buying animals
  
• Harvesting animals
  
• Creating each square of pond
  
• Fishing
  
• Placing any building from the market
  
• Sell products
  
• Completing a mission

To know the xp earned for each action you just have to read precisely the description of each item :


Arrow 1 : You need 580 diamonds to buy the spice bazaar, and you'll earn 1160 xp when you buy it.

Arrow 2 : You'll earn 100 diamonds and 100 xp when you sell 180 spices

There is an exception for flower :

The price and the xp given in the description are values if the flower has been watered 100% of the time. The true value cant be calculate precisely as weather impact the result, even with sprinklers on the flower. The water gauge is the green and yellow around the flower, green represent moment when the flower is watered, yellow the dryed moment.


Without any watering rains filled a quarter of the water gauge.

Without sprinklers and any watering, there is only rain that change this. If there is no rain, the xp and the price are halved. In theory (without meteo event), you have to water the flower 4 times to add 25% to the price each time.

But heat in summer and freezing in winter can impact the result, even with sprinklers. You can have less than 100% with flowers watered 100% of the time.
Bad news, summer is hot !

Even with sprinkler, i miss some water :o

The farmer progression seems to follow the values on this guide, but i didn’t check it, as i have few interest on that point :

http://www.farmtownguru.com/guides/levels-and-unlocking

The XP are earned exactly the same way for farm and farmer, so read above for the details on that point.

The farms leveling follow this progression to level 100 (checked as i could, might have few differences) :



You can read this data like that :
At level 1, to reach level 2 you need 200 xp. You will earn 2000 coins and 10 diamonds when you reach the new level. The cumulative give you the number of xp needed to reach directly the next level beginning at level 1. So, to reach level 10, from level 1, you’ll need 11.800 xp.

With the farm leveling, you unlock a lot of things :

• Ability to unlock new segment of the map (see the data about map unlocking)
  
• New crops/trees/fishes/animals/flowers
  
• New buildings
  
• New decorations
  
• Bigger tank for gas stations

Need some XP ? :D

Each type of item has its own experience values. You’ll find all the values to level 100. As for farm experience, you have the cumulative that give you the number needed to go from level 1 to the next level.





The things are really simple with items : you earn exactly 1 point each time you harvest an item. No other action give any xp considering them, and the boost doesnt affect that.

For example, for crops, at level 15, you need to harvest 86 crops to go to level 16. And from level 1, you’ll need to harvest 704 crops to go directly to level 16.

Each level adds 2% to the benefits. It makes a big difference for crops, as you have to take the difference between the selling price and the buying price. The buying price does not affect the other items, but it also takes the food price for animals. In consequence, the levelling has less effect on crops and animals.

If you need precise values about the prices and the effect of the levelling, you can use this data, i personally use it a lot :

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/app/673950/discussions/0/3647273545683611832/


For a lot of items, in order to unlock them, you’ll need to reach a precise level in another item in addition to the farm level conditions. You can read the conditions in the description of all the hidden items you miss.

The boost is the flash timer that appears when you work on another player's farm. You earn time for the boost from the following actions made on another player’s farm :

• Plowing
  
• Harvesting any crop/tree/fish/animal/flower
  
• Planting crops only if it's needed for a mission
  
• Making actions in houses (painting, playing piano or cooking)

If one of these actions helps to fulfill a mission you will earn two times more time for your boost.



You’ll begin to use your boost time when returning on your farm.

The boost has 2 effects :

• It add 20% to the benefits for any harvesting
  
• You’ll earn two times more xp on any of these actions.

It's applied only on harvesting items (crops, trees, animals, fishes and flowers).
The boost affect the farmer's xp and the farm's xp.

It doesnt affect items leveling.
It doesn't add anything on plowing, planting, building,...

I add data about unlocking map, as i find it really usefull :



You need to have your farm at the level (or more) in the “level” column and have enough diamonds to unlock a new segment. As usual, the column “cumulative” gives you the sum of diamonds you’ll need to go from 1st segment directly to this one.


I hope all these informations will be useful for you. Do not hesitate to say if you think that any other information could be added in this guide.
