Dairy Crafting Guide

Farmville has recently released the Dairy Crafting Feature to our farms. This is an all new self-sufficient crafting feature in which you can obtain and create everything you need within the same building. Check out the details below and please do share with friends if you find the post helpful

When the feature is released to you, you will receive the following pop-up to place the building.

You can place a Dairy Crafting building on every farm if you so choose for easier access, but all will consistently show the same stage of readiness. You can also access your dairy farm from the icon where your mastery tab and ribbons are located.

First, a look at the various stages of the building as you level it up.

Stations

Upon placing the building, and looking inside you will notice two different sets of stations.

The top station contains harvestable items, from which you can obtain raw ingredients. You will start with a cow that harvests for milk and as the building progresses you will unlock additional stations. The unlockable stations and their products are as follows.  (Mouse over for item names)

   Harvests in 2 minutes

 

 

   Harvests in 4 minutes

 

   Harvests in 2 minutes

 

   Harvests in 2 minutes

 

   Harvests in 3 minutes

 

   Harvests in 5 minutes

Raw ingredients which come from the harvestable items are stored in your silo.

This is not the same as the silo already on the farms, but simply a storage component of the self-contained Dairy Crafting feature. Your Dairy Crafting silo will start with a capacity of 10 and can be enlarged with the following parts. (Mouse over for item names)

Each expansion requires 10 of each part, and grants you 10 extra spaces. Expansions continue until the silo reaches it’s maximum capacity of 1000. Parts to enlarge the capacity of your silo are randomly granted as prizes for filling orders or can alternately be purchased for farm cash. If you have not been able to expand and your silo becomes full, simply sell some of your items or craft a recipe to free up space.

The bottom station contains crafting stations in which you can combine raw ingredients, along with other crafted ingredients to make recipes. When you receive the feature, the butter churn will be available to you to craft butter from milk. Other crafting stations are unlocked as you fill orders and level up your building.  The unlockable stations and their products are as follows. (Mouse over for item names)

 

 

 

 

 

Goods from machines are stored in your barn.

The barn for storing these is also contained within the feature and not something that is out on your farm. The barn for ingredients from machines will also begin with a capacity of 10 and can be enlarged with the following parts.

 

Like the silo, each expansion requires 10 of each part, and grants you 10 extra spaces. Expansions continue until the barn reaches it’s maximum capacity of 1000. Parts to enlarge the capacity of your barn are randomly granted as prizes for filling orders or can alternately be purchased for farm cash. If you have not been able to expand and your barn becomes full, simply sell some of your items or craft a recipe to free up space.

Orders

You will use your both crafted goods and raw ingredients to fill orders from characters at the base of the building.

As you fill their orders, you will level up your building, unlock new stations and earn prizes.

Mouse over the character to see what they are seeking to order from you. When you have everything needed to fill the order, the farm cash icon to purchase remaining supplies will change to “fill order.” You can see the prizes you will earn for filling all orders at the bottom left side of your screen.

 

Simply click fill order and if it grants you enough points to reach the next level of the building, you will receive a popup so indicating. If you have completed the last in your current series of orders, you will also receive a popup indicating the prize that you have won. Once you have leveled up, it’s possible to have as many as 12 orders at once, but keep in mind, it’s not a race. Orders will remain until they are filled.

Prizes

Possible prizes for this feature are as follows and are awarded randomly for filling different orders or sets of orders.
