(Lil) Farm Life Beginners

Getting started – After installing the (Lil) Farm Life game, you will be walked through a small tutorial to show you how to get started. After the tutorial, you will need to select the gender of your avatar by clicking on one and then click the Next button. Next, you will need to create your look and then click the Save button. You will begin the game with 100 coins, but you can build that up by harvesting the crops that are ready on your farm.

Plowing fields – To plow fields that have been recently harvested, click the Plow Tool in your toolbar. Then click the field that you have harvested. The field will plow and you will be ready to plant new crops. To plow new fields, click the plow tool and place the square on your farm and click when it turns green. You can then plow other fields. Each plow will cost you 20 coins and reward you with 1 XP point.

Planting fields – To plant fields, you will need to open the store and click the Seeds category. Then you will need to click the type of seed you want to plant. Then the store will then close and you can start clicking the plowed fields to plant your crops. If you want to change the type of seeds you are planting, simply open the store again and select another type of seed. Then continue planting.

Harvesting crops – To harvest fields in (Lil) Farm Life, you simply select the white arrow from your toolbar and click the ready crops. Click each crop that is ready to be harvested. After each crop is harvested, the coins will be added to your total.

Harvesting trees – Harvesting (Lil) Farm Life trees is similar to harvesting your fields. You will need to select your arrow tool and click the trees that are ready.

Harvesting flowers – Harvesting (Lil) Farm Life flowers is done the same way trees and crops are. Once the flowers are ready, simply click them and they will be harvested. You must make sure you have the arrow tool clicked before you try to harvest.

Planting flowers – Have you tried to buy (Lil) Farm Life flowers to place on your farm and they won’t work? That’s because you have to plant the flowers in fields. I tried and tried to place the flowers around my farm and finally figured out that you had to plant them in fields. So, before you buy flowers, make sure that you have a plowed field for them. To plant flowers, you will need to open the store and click the Flowers category. Then select the flower you want to plant by clicking it. The store will then close and you will need to click a plowed field. The flower will then be planted in the field.

Deleting items – If you have items on your farm that you no longer want, you can easily delete those items. Click the shovel tool at the bottom of your game. Then click the item that you want to delete. A box will pop up and ask if you really want to delete the item, click Accept to delete it. You will not get any money for the items you are deleting, so you may want to consider placing your items in storage before deleting them. Unless it is fields you are deleting. Then, by all means, delete them.

Moving items – You can move all of your (Lil) Farm Life items on your farm including plowed fields. So, if you want to redo your farm and have a lot of fields plowed, no problem. All you have to do is click the arrow in the toolbar and click the item you want to move. Then select the move option in the menu. Move the item to where you want it and click your mouse to place it in that spot.

Zooming in / out – Often times, you will need to zoom in and out of your game, especially once you start expanding. To zoom in and out, you will need to use the zoom tools at the bottom of your game. You can not use a scrolling mouse in this game to scroll in and out, so you must use the icons at the bottom.

Full screen view – If you need to view your farm in full screen, click the icon next to the zoom tools. That will put your farm in full screen and you can get out of full screen by pressing the esc button on your keyboard.

Music and sound control – If you wish to turn the sounds and music off in your game, you can click the sound and music icons at the top of your game. Clicking each one of them one time will turn them off. If you want to turn them back on, click them again.

Customizing your character – If you get tired of looking at the same ole avatar, you can quickly change the look of it. To change the look, you will need to double click your avatar. The appearance box will then open and you can make the changes you want. Then save the changes and close the box.

(Lil) Farm Life Strategy

Visit Town Center – Visiting Town Center often to get hired is a great way to earn extra coins.

Hire help – You should hire workers to harvest your crops. Doing so will allow you to take on more crops and earn more money and experience points to level up.

Hire friends to harvest – Don’t wait to long for your friends to respond when you send out the request.

Complete quests – Completing quests earns you experience points and (Lil) Farm Life coins. Some of these quests are super easy like taking a photo. Focus on completing quests to earn more coins and experience points to level up.

Plant highly profitable crops – (Lil) Farm Life crops each yield different profits so it’s in your best interest to identify and plant crops that will bring you the most profit. Check out our (Lil) Farm Life crops chart above to find out more.

Plan crops around your schedule – Crops vary in their growth and maturation rates and if you don’t harvest your crops soon enough your profits will suffer. Thus it is important to plan your crops around your schedule. If you have lot of time in the day to play (Lil) Farm Life, plant crops that grow faster and you can harvest sooner. On the other hand, if you don’t have lots of time to play the game, choose crops that take longer to reach harvesting age. If you’re not going to be able to play for a few days it may be best to harvest all crops and not replant them until you’ll be able to play again.

Build up your farm – Increase the size of your farm by adding more fields and planting more crops. The more crops you harvest, the more (Lil) Farm Life coins you can earn and the more profits you can make.

Help out your friends – Assisting your (Lil) Farm Life friends and sending them gifts helps you too. That is, you’ll earn experience points when you assist (Lil) Farm Life neighbors and sending gifts to them encourages them to return the favor.

Don’t post too often – As you play (Lil) Farm Life you’ll be asked to post accomplishments to your Facebook profile. This can help or hurt you depending on how often you do it. When you post to your profile too often it can annoy your Facebook friends and they may unfriend you. For this reason we suggest that you only post to your profile for milestone accomplishments. If you find that (Lil) Farm Life is auto posting to your profile, you can disable permissions for it. To learn how to do this, check out our Facebook Guide. It contains detailed instructions on how to change permissions for games, how to manage your Facebook profile, and other great Facebook tips and tricks.

Try another browser – If you’re experiencing slow page loading or your screen is frequently freezing you may want to change browsers. Opera and Google Chrome are lightweight web browsers that load web pages very quickly and put less strain on your computer’s resources.

Befriending others – Adding (Lil) Farm Life friends is important to playing the game as it enables you gain more experience points and coins. When you send out a Facebook friend invitation make sure you include a message like “(Lil) Farm Life” or “(Lil) Farm Life add” to let your potential friend know what the Facebook add is for. This allows them to allocate the friendship towards their (Lil) Farm Life friend list or other game related list on their Facebook profile and keeps it separate from their family list or other lists for which you may not want to be associated. Moreover, including a message will increase the success rate of people adding you as a friend.

Become a (Lil) Farm Life fan – As previously discussed, increasing the number of (Lil) Farm Life friends that you have helps you advance in the game. However, sending out invitations to people you don’t know or don’t play (Lil) Farm Life is a bad idea as it could get your banned from Facebook. An easy way to find potential (Lil) Farm Life friends is to become a fan of the many (Lil) Farm Life fan pages and groups where other (Lil) Farm Life players are.
