Recycling your farm

Recycling your farm: how to do it, what you lose, what you keep, and anything else you might need to know.

About

I began these notes when I started looking into recycling an event farm I had created specifically for the Fishing Event. I was researching what people say would happen before I tried it out.

"Would I lose everything? Would I keep anything? And what about event items, like Sardines ... would I still have access to those after the event was over?"

Well, the following notes are what I've found out from various lovely folks in the Farm Together Discord and posts on Reddit. I hope this is helpful if you're wondering these same things. :)

How to Recycle

Open your farm. Escape to farm menu, then Farm Settings, then Recycle Whole Farm. You'll be asked to confirm that you really want to do this!

What you lose, keep, etc.

Recycling removes plots, animals, trees, flowers, fish ponds, and decorations. You keep all your farm levels, plant levels, character levels, Medals, Money, Diamonds, and Tickets. You also keep homes, as they must be manually recycled; their contained furnitures stay, and land expansions will also stay. Guestbooks with signatures stay. Market Agency and any extra quests stay as well. Any tables you have, you will keep as well as their levels.

Important Note: As all your stalls and shops will be sold, be sure to sell all harvest resources such as fish, eggs, fruits, veggies, nuggets, etc. Stated post-recycle limit is 20 of each item. If you have a warehouse, then there's 50 additional storage for each of its level because the warehouse also adds on to your 20 base resources limit. (Normally when you recycle, you will go back to 20 resources because you don’t have any buildings with storage.)

Any event items that others place on your farm (e.g. from previous events) will also be lost when the farm is recycled. Meaning that if it's something you don't have unlocked already, you won't be able to re-place it once you have recycled your farm. An example would be the Pot O' Gold well item from the Lucky Harvest event.

Any temporary event exclusive crops, fish, etc. will be removed. An example of this is the Sardines from the Fishing Event, as they are only available as a crop for buying and placing during the duration of the event. If you recycle after the event is over, you will have to wait for the next Fishing Event to "re-plant" them.

@Yiin - once a permanent item like the Halloween trees are unlocked, you can re-plant them after recycling your farm.

Can someone tell me if the hollow tree is a temporary event item? It will not be available on the store after the halloween event ends?

Thank you for an excellent guide.

Such a shame you lose so many event items - of the flowers, the ones I've kept are foxgloves, lilies, raffliesia and dandelions. So miss the others!!! But my farm had become a complete mess and your guide was useful in explaining what to do before pressing that recycle button!

Thanks for making this nice guide though people should read this before proceeding to recycle their farms.

I wish I had read this guide before recycling my entire farm. Didn't sell things in my inventory so they all got lost when the barns were sold :( rip
