New Crafting Workshop
Hey, Farmers!
Introducing the Crafting Workshop! Use new
Ingredients to craft items that can be sold for a profit, or used to decorate
your farm! Upon entering FarmVille 2, you will see the following pop up. Click
on “Place Crafting Workshop” to get started.
Building the Crafting Workshop
Your first step is collecting construction parts. You will
need the following items to start building your Crafting Workshop:
- Pressure Gauge
- Drafting Paper
- Wood Plank
Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for the items to
your Neighbors. You can also purchase Pressure Gauge, Drafting Paper and Wood
Plank for Farm Bucks if you do not wish to wait for your friends to respond to
your requests.
Note: You can send a request for materials to
your Friends every 18 hours.
Once you have collected the required items, click on the
“Start Building!” button at the bottom of the construction Menu.
Now that the Crafting Workshop is almost completed, you will
need some help from your Neighbors to finish the job.
The Crafting Workshop requires 4
additional mechanics, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew
requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Build
Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, click the
“Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks. Once you have
successfully filled all 4 spots, click on the “Finish & Share” button.
Inside the Crafting Workshop
Once you have finished building your Crafting Workshop, you
can begin crafting items, which will earn you Coins and XP. In addition to
this, some of the Recipes you craft can be used to decorate your farm. After
you open the Crafting Workshop, you will see which items you are able to craft.
The items available to you depend on a couple of things:
- What level you are: Recipes in the Crafting Workshop have level requirements. This means you have to keep leveling up to unlock new Crafting items. The more advanced you are in the game, the more complicated your Recipes will be — but they will sell for more coins, too!
- What Ingredients you have available: As you harvest Crops and collect from your Animals, you can use these items to craft items.
There
are three different stations inside the Workshop for three different types of Recipes
you can Craft:
- Workbench: Wood Recipes
- Loom: Wool Recipes
- Blacksmith: Metal Recipes
Note:
Rotate the Workshop to view a different station!
Crafting
Crafting Workshop Recipes require new Resources and
Ingredients. Here’s what they are and how to get them:
Ingredients: Raw ingredients come from your farm or
Neighbors. Get them by harvesting Crops and Trees, feeding your Animals and
visiting your Neighbors. Some Ingredients can only be obtained from your
friends, so be sure to ask nicely!
- Crops: Produce Ingredients like Blueberries, Strawberries, etc.
- Trees: Produce tree fruit like Olives, etc.
- Animals: Produce Ingredients like Fine Saddles, Horseshoes and Wool after you feed them.
- Glass: This is an Ingredient you will need to get from your Neighbors.
Are you in a hurry to craft, but don’t have the Ingredients
you need? You can purchase Ingredients with Farm Bucks from the Recipe Card
(see below).
Note: You can see
which Recipe(s) a crop, tree, or animal product goes into when you mouse over
its icon in the general store:
Crafted
Goods:
These are Recipes that you make in your Crafting Workshop from raw Ingredients.
Use them to complete Final Recipes (see description below), which can then be
sold in your Market Stand. Completed Crafted Goods, such as Blueberry Dye, Blue
Fabric, and Wool Thread, cannot be sold.
Finished
Products (Final Recipes): These are Recipes that you can sell for coins in your
Market Stand. These Recipes require Crafted Goods to complete. They are marked
with a star symbol.
Finished
Products (Decorations): These are Recipes that you can place on your farm as
decorations and stored in your Inventory. These Recipes require Crafted Goods
to complete. They are marked with an Inventory symbol.
The
Crafting Workshop Menu displays all of the Recipes you currently have
available. To access this menu, simply click on the Workshop.
The
Recipe thumbnails have symbols on them to indicate different things:
Star:
These are Recipes that you can sell for coins in your Market Stand. These
Recipes require Crafted Goods to complete.
Inventory:
This symbol is used to indicate a Recipe that can be
placed on your farm as decorations and also be stored in your Inventory.
Padlock:
This symbol is used to indicate a Recipe that has a Level Requirement higher
than your current level. To find out which level you need to be on to unlock a
certain recipe, simply hover over the Recipe Card.
Recipe
Card Organization:
Recipe
card thumbnails are arranged in a column. These columns are referred to as
Recipe Chains. Recipe Chains are designed to show you the natural progression
of a Final Recipe, so you are able to create the Finished Product easier. For
example:
Leather:
Requires Fine Saddles to complete
Leather
Pouch:
Requires 1 Fine Saddle and 2 Wool Threads to complete
Leather
Coinpurse:
Requires 1 Leather Pouch and 1 Metal Sheet to complete
The
Leather Coinpurse is the Final Recipe in this Chain. It requires the first two
Crafted Goods (Leather Pouch + Metal Sheet) in this Chain to complete.
Note: Clicking the
green “Go Home” button in the corner of a recipe card will take you back to the
Recipe thumbnail screen in your Workshop.
Some Recipes require a Crafted Goods instead of Ingredients.
If you come across a Recipe like this, you may feel a bit confused. But no need
to worry, making the required Crafted Good is simple! Just click on the “Craft”
button located under the Good you need to make. This will open up the
applicable Recipe Card.
Once you have all the ingredients that you need to finish
your Recipe, click the “Make 1” button on the Recipe Card. It should turn green
to let you know that you’re ready to go.
After you click “Make It,” your recipe should craft instantly. Once it’s
made, it will pop out of the station and dance merrily around your Workshop
before placing itself into your inventory. Don’t worry if you don’t mouse over
it fast enough to scoop it up—it will go there automatically!
Powering Your Workshop
Creating all of those great products isn’t easy. To stay in
business, the Crafting Workshop requires Power (Crafting Energy). Every time
you use your Workshop to make a Recipe, it will deduct from your power
reserves. The amount of power you have left can be found at the bottom of the
Crafting Menu.
Note: Both the Crafting Workshop and the Crafting Kitchen use
Power.
Out of power? There are a few different ways to get more:
- Harvest your Furnace. Click here for more info on the Snow Guide.
- Purchase Power Packs for Farm Bucks
- Give it some time— Power for your Crafting Workshop gradually replenishes itself after 1 hour.
- Ask your friends to send you Power (see below).
Decorating
You can decorate your farm with Finished Products, such as
Fences. If you would like to place a crafted item on your farm, open your
Inventory and select the “ENTER” tab to find your items. Not ready to decorate?
No problem, simply keep it in your Inventory until you want to use it.
Earning Coins!
Once you’re finished Crafting, it’s time to earn some money!
Your Finished Products can be sold in your Market Stand for Coin. The more
difficult the Recipe, the higher the Coin yield will be. As a reminder, you
won’t be able to sell Crafted Goods in the Market. Only Ingredients and
Finished Products can be sold.
Additional Information:
- The Crafting Workshop shares Crafting Power resources with the Crafting Kitchen.
- Note: You can also harvest the Furnace for more Crafting Power.
- Once completed, you can do the following with the Crafting Workshop:
- Store in Inventory
- Rotate (two angles)
- Limited to one Crafting Workshop per farm.
