Using Expansion Permits
Expansion Permits are used to unlock new areas of land on your farm. These unique areas have decorations and themes that make your farm look more vibrant.
To use permits, tap on one of the locked expansion plots on the lower half of your farm, across from the main land area. Each plot shows how many permits are needed to unlock it.
When you tap a locked plot, you will be prompted to spend the required permits to unlock it. Tap ‘Unlock’ to open up the new area.
Make sure you have enough permits before trying to unlock a plot. If not, the game will ask you to buy more permits for diamonds.
How Many Permits Needed for All Areas?
There are over 50 different expansion areas that can be unlocked on your farm.
To clear all of these areas, you will need a total of 643 Expansion Permits.
The number of permits needed for each plot ranges from just 1 or 2, up to 20+ for some large areas.
Completing all expansion areas takes time and dedication. Focus on unlocking areas slowly as you get more permits from events and leveling up.
Permits vs Other Expansion Items
Expansion Permits are different from other items needed to expand your farm like:
- Land Deeds: Unlock the basic farm land.
- Mallets: Expand land leading up to the town.
- Marker Stakes: Expand areas across the river.
Permits are only used for the special bottom areas with decorations, not the normal farm plots.
You need permits plus deeds/mallets/stakes to fully unlock all areas on your farm’s perimeter.
