Update Aug 9th - Let's redesign the farm! - Discussion

  • I like the new update where you can store buildings temporarily to set up the layout of your farm easier, but what i was actually expecting/hoping was a button for a 2-dimensional / flat view when you are setting up your farm. That would really help because buildings are quite 'high' sometimes and you are not very wel able to see if there is a square of free space between buildings. A two dimensional flat view during building would help big time there.


  • Tetris view not flat enough for you?

    Not exactly 2D, as in no straight-from-top-view, but a view at an angle like the regular working farm. But no hights of the buildings, just squares with info what kind of building.

    If you haven't figured out how to get to tetris view yet, see:
    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/comment/3129453/#Comment_3129453

    or click the little "outline view" button that appears under the options button at the top right corner when in layout mode.
  • yes that is exactly what i wanted haha, sorry didnt see that button yet, thread can be closed :)
  • oh they seem to have forgotton 1 building; you cant pick up a viking-goat building in tetris view ....

    I love this new Layout mode! Thank you GGS
    I wish I knew about it last month, I could have saved myself a lot of grief moving MF around with very little space.

  • OK is it just my imagination or has the order of the feeds in the mill on the gourmet farm changed?  Something just looks "weird" to me

    Tuesday morning is almost always when they do maintenance and put in the new patches. Usually doesn't take that long, normally less than an hour or so.

  • Bug with happy items, if you install them directly from the layout mode, they don't count 0/35 however many I install.  If I do not use layout mode and install them the old way, things are ok.

    Jewelsacha this link from the Official Announcement,  may help you to understand better and it also has a picture for reference. It's supposed to be an easier way to rearrange your farms & finding any open spaces that you can fill with either deco's or production items.

    It works now. Layout Mode seems to work pretty well too!
  •  @Shindria (INT1)  & @Anilla (DE1)  That was indeed messed up, however there was a hotfix run to correct it, so if yours is still not showing correctly, reload your game (CTRL+F5) & that should fix it for you. :)

    Doesn't work on the Candy Farm other than turning the grid on. Not that it makes a big difference.

    Seems to be slow on a fully developed farm as well. Lots of lag time.

    I can go into Layout Mode.... but there is no way to see the Outline View... which is the option I was looking forward to seeing and working with... The Layout Mode is no different than the old way, which is completely useless as a "new" thing.... how do I get the Outline View.... ??

    the outline view is available with the click of a button up by the settings tab, but it is nearly impossible to move things around in the outline view.  So Ive been looking at the outline and toggleing back to the regular view to move stuff. The biggest advantage of this over the old way is that you can move your buildings into storage while you rearrange.  I think it is wonderful. I made enough room on my gourmet farm to add a duck coop and a house without putting any decos in storage.

    Loving the new tool for rearrangeing my farm.  So excited I cant spell!  I just made enough room on my gourmet farm to add a duck coop and a house without sacrificing any decorations!  So Cool!  Thanks.

    I noticed that too. Lambs lettuce is above dandelions. Didn't used to be that way.

    @Big Beck (US1)  There was an issue with some levels of mills & fields, having the items re-arranged, but it was meant to be fixed already. Can you please reload your game (CTRL+F5) & if it is still not showing correctly, let us know what level your affected gardens are please. Thankyou.

    Hi Jewelsacha I put together a page for the new Layout mode here http://crazybigfarm.tk/how_to/layout_mode.htm and explained it a bit more then the update did.

    I hope this helps you out. Once you get used to using it you'll really like it. I feel it's a great addition to the game.
  • I have been playing around with the new layout mode and I like it so far. But I don't have the 'Rotate' option that I see in your screen shot. I have tried going full screen, etc. Is this something that is not implemented yet? I have been trying to work around it but it is frustrating. 
    Please advise.

    Hi LorianneR,

    The rotate button only shows us when you have a decor selected and ready to place.  I hope that helps. :)
  • @LorianneR (US1) You can also just use the left/right arrow keys on your keyboard.
  • Thank you, thank you! Both of these suggestions helped! 
    I did finally get the rotate icon. For some reason I was getting some lag. It is not supposed to be me, I have google fiber. LOL - But I won't swear it wasn 't because I have issue when watching netflix too. :hushed:  I was just too impatient before and didn't wait for it to show up. 
    I also have very bad eyesight. I use the Windows accessible magnifier tool to make everything big enough to see (this on a 60" monitor) <grin> that makes it hard to work with the icon but makes that keyboard shortcut fabulous for me. Thanks so much for the tip!

  • This new farm looks suspiciously like the tropical island.....peacocks, palm trees, grass huts, mill........& it is located on an island.

    Just an observation......just saying :)

    It is the Island farm. You can see the viking farm & candy farm in the pic as well. ;)
  • I have been looking at the new map more closely & there are a few things missing & one that I`m not sure about.

    Missing: Organic Market, Events Carpark, Flagpole, Matilda`s Academy, Welcome Center

    Then there is this strange building, anyone know what it might be?
