Upgrades to Original Warehouse and Decorations section of Warehouse

The recent proliferation of new Decorations and their role in the various Farm Beauty Contests has made storage once again a potential problem for farmers in Family Farm Seaside.  Those of us who have played the game for three years or more, especially those of us who happen to be packrats by nature, are scrambling to house our Theme items once a Beauty Contest has ended.

When they released the new Warehouse Decorations section, it proviaded  players who had all existing upgrades another place to store Decorations.  You can upgrade your original Warehouse to have a total of 190 slots.  You can store Decorations as well as unattributed items such as the Haunted House in the original Warehouse.  Only Decorations can be stored in the Decorations section, however.

How to Store Items in Family Farm Seaside
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 A good guide writer never forgets how difficult it may be for a beginner to play any game, but sadly I have neglected basic instructions on storing your items in Family Farm Seaside.  I was asked by a new member of my Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk Group on Facebook how to store items, and therefore will add a section to this post.

In the game originally, storage was an option but not a necessity.  With the proliferation of new items through the years, however, a Warehouse quickly became a real necessity and farmers now tend to complete the Building Plot expansion with the Warehouse as quickly as possible.

To store any item, you first need to go to the Tools Menu in the bottom right of your screen by tapping on the Yellow Arrow that is the first icon seen there.  Doing so will open a number of options that include creating new plots, moving items, setting automatic production of an Animal or Machine, selling items and finally storing items.  To store items, tap on the icon of the box with the blue arrow over it.  You then can tap on any item you wish to store.  If it is an item that can be stored, it automatically will go into the designated storage area in the Warehouse.  A few items cannot be stored at all.  These include crops (for obvious reasons) and pond water.  Trees have their own storage building now in the form of the Tree Nursery.

The Warehouse itself is divided now into two sections.  The first is the General Warehouse area and the second is the Decorations Warehouse.  When you first begin to store Decorations, they will go into the Decorations section but if it is full, they then can be stored in the General Warehouse along with Animals and Machines.  To access all the items in the General section, choose the 'All' tab on the side of the Warehouse menu.  To access the Decorations section, tap on the Decorations tab on the top of the Warehouse menu.  Upgrade information is given below in another section.


Stacked Decorations
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Recently, a concept known as Stacked Decorations was released in the form first of the Bird Home Base and then the Halloween Stage.  A Stacked Decoration has a base as its primary Decoration as well as subsidiary Decorations that can be placed on it according to a jigsaw pattern.  To place any subsidiary Decoration on the base Decoration, choose the Move Tool and then, when your cursor is on top of the base, the little House Icon or Jigsaw Icon on the far right.  The subsidiary Decoration then will be placed automatically in its proper position on the base.

The Decorations given as rewards for the Gallery Missions are not cleanable and it therefore makes sense to place them on the Base as soon as you have registered them.  You cannot register a subsidiary item when it is on a base.

The Halloween Decorations on the other hand are cleanable and you should register them as well as obtain any special rewards such as the 7 days' worth of Yellow Mystrons from the Diva, before you place them on the Base.

The reason that I have addressed this topic in this post is because I believe that part of the reason for the Stacked Decoration, apart from the special animation that results from placement of subsidiary Decorations on a base, is storage.  With all subsidiary decorations on a Base, I believe that the item will take only a single slot when stored in the Warehouse.  Need to confirm this in my own game however.

Warehouse Upgrades
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is a post in progress.  With my original Harvest Moon Farm, I failed to log the lists of materials needed for the first few upgrades of the Decorations tab.  I thought I had the original Warehouse upgrade on one of my pages but will attempt to log again.  I would like to thank the wonderful members of my Group, Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk, on Facebook, for their help with some of these levels.  In particular, many thanks to Amanda Max and Kathy Marcum.

To upgrade the Decorations section:

The original space has only five slots.  As you will see, you can upgrade twice using only materials that can be requested from your Neighbours.  It is the third upgrade to 20 slots that requires RC.  You will need a total of 6 RC to obtain 20 slots.

To upgrade to 10, you need:

15 Goods Shelves  (Request from Neighbours or buy for 1 RC each)

More upgrades have been added to the Decorations section of the Warehouse.  I thought I wrote down the Materials List to upgrade to 60 items but I cannot find it.  From memory though:

20 Wooden Panels (Craft or pay 1 RC for each)

Complete instantly for 137 RC I believe... need a calculator.

Note that the Yellow Mystrons purchase of a Fire Extinguisher is limited to one per day.

Original Warehouse Upgrades
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The original 'All' Tab of the Warehouse can be upgraded to a total of 190 slots.

The original Warehouse has a total of 20 slots in which any sort of item, including Decorations, can be placed.  As you will see, you need pay RC to upgrade only after the first two upgrades.

To upgrade to Level 2:

10 Tiles (Request or pay 1 RC)
10 Wood (Request or pay 1 RC)

To upgrade to Level 3:

15 Tiles  (Request or pay 1 RC for each)
15 Wood (Request or pay 1 RC for each)

 To upgrade to Level 4:

15 Tiles (Request or pay 1 RC for each)
15 Wood (Request or pay 1 RC for each)
6 Paint (Buy for 1 RC each)

To upgrade to Level 6
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

20 Tiles (Request or pay 1 RC for each)
20 Wood (Request or pay 1 RC for each)
12 Paint (Pay 1 RC for each)

To upgrade to Level 7

To upgrade to Level 8
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

25 Tiles  (Request or use 1 RC for each)
25 Wood (Request or use 1 RC for each)
12 Storage Racks (Pay 2 RC for each)

In other words, minimum payment of 24 RC to perform this upgrade.  This gives you a total of 90 Slots now in the regular 'All' Section of the Warehouse.

To upgrade to Level 9
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

25 Tiles (Request or pay 1 RC for each)
25 Wood (Request or pay 1 RC for each)
15 Paint (Pay 1 RC for each)
10 Storage Racks (2 RC each)

In other words, minimum cost for this is 39 RC.


Final Upgrade  gives you a total of 190 Slots in the regular Warehouse.  You can store Animals, Machines, Decorations, Collectables, some Buildings and unattributed items such as the Haunted House in the regular Warehouse slots.  Back in the day, you could have a total of 190 Slots in the regular Warehouse by upgrading to Level 9... I think now there are more steps but the end result should be the same.

Island Warehouse
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Island Warehouse is not that different from the Warehouse on the Main Seaside Farm.  The biggest difference is the need to make the expansions to the plot where it resides in order to obtain it.  Expansions on the Island can be expensive or labour-intensive.

At this point in time, it is very unlikely that Farerms really would need to expand their Island Warehouse much as there are not that many items yet that could be stored.  As the time-restricted Missions continue to give Decorations for the Island as a final Reward, and as new Island Macines or Animals or other options are released, one can expect more crowding to occur.

The Island Warehouse begins with 10 ordinary slots and 5 Decoration slots.

Upgrade to Level 2, for 15 slots:

20 Tiles  (Request or pay 1 RC each)
15 Nuts (Craft or pay 1 Rc for each)
15 Nails (Craft or pay 1 RC for each)
Upgrade to Level 3 for 20 Slots:

30 Tiles (Request or pay 1 RC for each)
25 Lag Bolts (Craft or pay 1 RC for each)
25 Nails (Craft or pay 1 RC for each)
3 Paint (1 RC for each)

Upgrade to Level 4 for 25 slots:

40 Tiles (Request or pay 1 RC for each)
30 Lag Bolts (Craft or pay 1 RC for each)
30 Nails (Craft or pay 1 RC for each)
8 Paint (1 RC for each)

Island Warehouse Decoration Tab
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Decorations section offers 5 slots.

Upgrade to 10 slots:

15 Goods Shelf (Request or pay 1 RC for each)
10 Wooden Panels (Craft or pay 1 RC for each)
2 Fire Extinguishers (Pay 3 RC for each)
