Farm area question

[Zenchance]

I got 3 farm signs and 3 farm worker punch clocks. The chicken/cow and the bees/veggies are working great, I put the animals way back in the additional area I purchased for 200? to keep them from wandering, it works.
Now I wanted to put the 3rd apple sign and punch in clock all the way on the other side of the map, in the area I bought for 500, behind the 1st mines, and the game won't let me.
It says "max size reached" when I try to place the apple farm square there, but it's just a 1x1 square.
To be fair, I may have caused this glitch (I think). I had mistakenly already placed the apple farm sign near the other 2 farms, and the game will let me place/expand apple farm squares anywhere near those. But to MOVE the apple farm sign I have to place another apple farm square to move it to.....at least that's the only way I've found to move area signs.
And it won't let me place apple farm squares in that other area, across the map?
Yep, the area stuff wants a more detailed tutorial I think, Can I move this sign after placing it without needing another farm square to put it on?
I handled the additional forest and mine signs easily, but I hadn't put them anywhere before I
made 2 mini areas around the fishing/forest entrance and the west mine entrance, both are all the way across the map, too. Very puzzled, lol

Heya!

There is a max number of tiles any zone can spread over. So in this instance, it sounds like you are moving the sign too far away from the original location of the apple farm.

You would either need to create a 3rd farm and start in the new area, or you'd need to delete/remove the second farm and relocate it to the new location.

Hopefully that makes sense?! If not, do feel free to use F8, submit a report, and include your Steam User ID (where it says Discord) and we can take a look to see what's happening.

HI there, before I got your answer, I "inched" the apple farm sign across the map, moving the apple square as far away as it would go, moving the sign, "e" deleting the old square, etc, I think I moved it about 5 times, and got it where it belongs!!
I am wary about deleting things? Not sure I can get them back...just say'n

Manual saves are your friend for things like this :)
Make a save, move/test things out. If it works, yay! If it doesn't, load save, try again :D
It is interesting to hear it worked if you moved it a bit over time.
