farm visiting

[CElleN8]

I have no clue at all and sadly skipped tutorial, because I was to dumb to see the difference between the B and R button in it, when I should move someting ^^
anyway, my questions are:
1) when I visit another farm and help, does the money goes to the bank of the owner completly?
I am a little unsure, because i don't want to "rob" someone of the hard owend bucks
2) can I feed animals on other farms?
3) there is the unwritten rule to plow after harves - check, but is there a rule how to do it?
coz when I was at a farm and paid the gas station first and then plowed with my tractor I was pushed out of the farm O.O#
4) when I first played online there where a lot of people helping, but days later no one is visiting anymore... which setting should I make to attract visitors? only harvest?
5) when I set quest & planting, does this incclude plopping out the plants or only planting? and does it only counts for my Questlist or can others profit too?
6) how does the bonustime thing work? I help how much time on other farms and then I get more fruit ect. on my own farm for how long?

thank you for every help, hope some will have time and joy to answer one or two of them XD
greetings

1) wo gehen die geernteten Produkte/Punkte/Münzen hin, wenn ich auf einer fremden Farm mithelfe?
2) wenn man Tiere auf FremdFarmen füttern möchte, welche Einstellungen muss dann für die Besucher eingestellt sein?
3) die ungeschriebene Regel, des Pflügen nach dem Ernten kenn ich, aber ist es nicht gern gesehen, wenn man das mit dem Traktor macht? wurde von einer Farm gekehrt als ich dies trotz bezahltem Treibstoff tat O.O#
4) als Neuling wurd ich von eingen Besuchern heuschreckenartig überrannt XD aber nach ein paar Tagen ist nun tote Hose, nachdem ich an den Einstellunge etwas gedreht habe, gibt es eine Einstellung (z.B. nur Ernten) die am Beliebtesten ist?
5) die Einstellung Quest & Pflanzen bedeutet was genau? betrifft das nur meine Quests oder profitieren auch die Besucher beim Ackern für ihre eigenen Quests dadurch?
6) Wie läuft das mit der Bonuszeit ab? Ich helfe auf der Fremdfarm wie lange?
um wie lange Bonus auf meiner Eigenen zu bekommen?
Was beinhaltet der Bonus? mehr Ernte, mehr Punkte, mehr Geld? fiel mir nix wirklich als Unterschied auf ^^#
danke für eure Mühen und Zeit beim Antworten

1: yes u only get player xp & boost on other farms.
2: yes u can feed animals on other peoples farms.
3: the decent thing to do is plow after u harvest yes :)
4: people like helping new people out then only go for newer people or high lvl farms to gather boost... the rights of your farm have little to do with visitors its mainly level. i personally have quest & harvest for guests & plant rights for friends.
5: if set to quest people can plant the quest crops u have on existing plots untill they hit the quests limit like if u need 100 carrots people can plant 100 carrots only not more.
6: the boost meter is in top left or your screen under your avatar. u get bonus money,xp & produce(instead of 1 vegetable u get 2) the timer is under the yellow boost marker.
hope that helps :)

The other posters have answered most of your questions, but I'd like to add a little more info.
Q2: Some farms don't want you to feed the animals or harvest them. When you join a farm, there is a welcome screen that explains the wishes of the farm owner. Consider them the "rules" for that farm. I've found that a lot of people don't read that screen and it frustrates me when they harvest my animals after I've asked them not to. On my farm, I only harvest the animals when I have a quest for them or if I need eggs/wheat/cheese for cooking in the houses. I have fed the animals and gotten them to the point of harvest so they're ready to go when I get a quest for them, and it messes things up when someone jumps in and immediately starts harvesting the animals.
Q3: It sounds like you got kicked off a farm for using the gas station. I had the same thing happen to me once, so don't let it bother you. I chalked it up to someone that didn't understand that your tractor's gas tank is empty when you join, so the only way you can do anything on their farm is by first fueling up. I'm not about to harvest everything by hand. lol There are plenty of other farms to visit, so just shrug it off and move on to someone that is more welcoming. :) Also remember to mark the farms as "favorite" when you find farm owners that you enjoy talking to and working with. With so many farms listed on the "find farms" screen, it helps to see which ones are favorites that you've had good experiences with previously. If you really connected with a certain farm owner and have found someone you feel you could trust to help you with your farm, you may want to ask about adding them to your steam friend's list also.
Q4: The permissions on your farm are really up to you. It's all about how much risk you're willing to assume. I give my steam friends "plant and harvest" permissions but everyone else just has "quest and harvest" permissions. I think the only farms that people avoid are those that have "none" for permissions. Unless you're just interested in seeing how someone decorated their farm, there's not really much incentive to visit a farm where you aren't allowed to do anything.
Q5: Most of the question was answered already, but you also asked if the visitor gets credit for the quest when permissions are set to "quest and harvest". If the quest is for an event, then you and the visitor both get credit for the event items. If the quest is just one of the random quests, then the visitor gets xp and his boost meter, but he would not have the same quest on his own farm, so it doesn't complete a quest for him for his farm. I hope that makes sense.
Q6: Spikey explained it well. When my meter is full, I think it lasts about 15 minutes (can't remember exactly). I don't recall whether that increases as you level up like the gas tank increases with leveling.

The fact that you're asking these questions shows that you'll be a conscientious helper that will be welcome on most farms. Good luck and enjoy yourself.

Thanks, Spikey. I'm at lvl 94, but I just don't pay a lot of attention to the length of time I get on the boost. I'm usually just interested in helping friends, and the boost is just a side benefit that I sort of forget about. :) Appreciate the info.
