The Ultimate Guide For Farmchain

In this guide, I will be showing you the basics of how to make one of these.

Vending Machines/Areas

THE WATER WELL

This might be corny, but this is one of the main devices you are going to need to use.
First, we need the Water Well (prop) to get water, then you are going to need to place the water well and then get a vending machine. the settings should be like this:

Then, go to the “Appearance” Tab, which you will copy this:

MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SOUND

After all of that, it should be finished (The Water Well). Add as many as you want that gives more and more, it’s your choice not mine.

THE ENERGY SHOP

The one thing I forgot to include is an energy system, you can add that if you want, here’s the guide:

@justiniscoding

Hi! This is my first tutorial and I’ll be showing you how to make a system where you need energy(or another item) to move.

1. First place a questioner on the map and then place an item granter right beside it.

2. Connect the questioner to the item granter with a wire and set it to “Question answer correctly” → “grant item.”

3. Click on the item granter and set the item to grant to “Energy”(or your preferred item). Change the amount to grant to the amount of the item you want to give the player after they answer correctly; I’ll set it to 1000.

4. You want to let the player see how much energy they have, so we will use a “game overlay” device. Place it behind the questioner and set the overlay type to tracked item. Then change the tracked item to energy(or whatever item you are using) and change the overlay position to top left.

5. Next, you want to actually use energy when the player moves. Place a movement meter behind the questioner and set the tracked item to energy(or a different item you are using). After that, set the item drain per tick. I used 17, but you can make it higher and have the player use more energy when moving or vise versa.

6. Another thing you want to do is give the player energy at the starting of the game. Place a “starting inventory” device behind the questioner and set the item to grant to energy and the amount to 1000.

7.NOTE:* The energy system already works at this point, and the rest of the tutorial focus on extra features
8. You want to allow the player to answer questions while they are away from the questioner, which can be accomplished with a “game overlay.” Place it behind the item granter and set the overlay type to button. Then, adjust its position on the screen(I’m putting it in the bottom left) and change the overlay text to “Answer Questions.”

9. At this point, clicking the button will not do anything. To make it open the question answering screen, wire it to the questioner and choose “button pressed” → “Open question answering screen.”

10. Another feature you can add is a popup when a player runs out of energy. To do this, add a “popup” device on the right of all the other devices and change the header and content to say “out of energy!” Then wire the movement meter to the “popup” and set it to “Player runs out of movement resource” → “open popup.” You can optionally change the popup type to banner, depending on whether you think it looks better than a modal.

11. To make the no energy popup a bit better, I added a “answer questions” button to it. You can do this by going to the popup settings, to the “Call to Action” tab and change the call to action label to “Answer Questions.”

12. Now the button appears on the popup, but doesn’t do anything. To make it open the question answering screen, wire it to the questioner and choose “Primary call to action clicked” → “Open question answering screen”

13. That’s all! You now have a working a energy to move system. The final project should look like this:

Alright, so now that we have that finished that, we can now make an energy shop, where you buy things with energy! Make a vending machine that costs energy, and then add anything you get from buying it. For example, like a seed to plant stuff. Now the last part.

THE SEEDS

This chapter isn’t really hard, get a vending machine that costs money, (MAKE SURE TO MAKE THE FIRST STARTER SEED TO BE FREE)
If you need to go to the official farmchain map to copy what it costs and how much it sells for, do it!
(By the way, make sure to make a vending machine that gives access to the vending machines, like in the real game, but what you do, is wire the one that costs research to the seeds and put these EXACT settings

THE RESEARCH LAB (Last Chapter)

To make the research lab, you will need to get a table of you liking, put a vending machine over or under the prop, then set the settings so that you gain research, but lose energy.

Farming/Selling

FARMING
This is one of the easier chapters, so be aware.
Get a crafting table from the devices, then, get a crafting recipe. Make the crafting table a plot:

then get the crafting recipe and make it so you can craft/plant wheat, potatoes, watermelons, grapes, etc. then make the ingredients like water, energy, and ___ seed.

SELLING
To make a working selling system, you will need a wire repeater, vending machine, and a button.
Wire both the vending machine and the wire repeater to themselves:

Wire Repeater → Attempt to Purchase

Then wire back like this

Attempt to Purchase → Wire Repeater

Then, for the button, connect the button(s) to the wire repeater(s).
Make multiply copy’s of what I told you too your liking. (For example, add 5 if there are five recipes, add 3 if there are three recipes.)

Lottery System (optional)

LOTTERY

To make this, it’s a hard thing for newer gims. Here is the guide:

That should be all of it!

Nice guide!
Though, for the research lab you might want to add a picture to show the settings.

[GimkitLuvuh]

Alr, I will add pictures

Isn’t this basically this?

The Cursorian Full Farming System

I’ve noticed that many people just make farming guides on farming itself or harvesting (which I think seems to just be an one-time item granter in a nutshell). So, what if someone made a guide on ALL of these? Now you’ve clicked on this, so, yeah, I’m gonna start now.

Water Well

A fairly simple build. -The Annoying Cursor Ripoff, 2023 Place down a button, water well prop, and item granter. You may want to adjust the size of the water well or extend the button’s range/area of effect/the area yo…

Also, tug are usually wikis.

[eiqcrmeliutgwhc]

that’s incomplete because i forgot about the seeds

also the farming system part is invalidated by the crafting table

I really wanna say Bump so I will

I wanna say Bump so I will

[harharharhar83]

Hey good guide!
Uhhh you CAN bump your own guides but, sometimes you want to let other people find them/bump them because it looks less egotistical.

Ow! I was running and BUMPED into a cornstalk.

Corn fact:

For the movie Interstellar, the director Christopher Nolan planted over 500 acres of corn, just so there could be a real cornfield for some of the shots in the movie. At the end of the movie filming, they actually harvested the corn and sold it for a profit to help cover production costs.
