FarmVille: Tips and Tricks – Trap Farmer, and Farm Faster

As some readers have already commented, if you trap your farmer, you will be able to perform all tasks more quickly. If your farmer is trapped, he or she will not be able to reach the field or tree that you are trying to harvest (or whatever). Because of this, the task is carried out without traveling to the location. Although the percentage meter still has to finish prior to the task being completed, without having to walk to each individual location you will be able to complete tasks much more quickly.

Trap Farmer Tip: Technique #1 – Hay Bales

You can setup hay bales on one edge of your farm so that, when you want to trap your farmer, you can simply walk in the middle of two, then move the third in front of the opening to trap him or her. Or, you can do the same in the middle of your FarmVille farm by adding a forth hay bale to the open side.

Trap Farmer Tip: Technique #2 – Fence

Instead of buying hay bales, you may already have fences around your farm you use to keep your animals from wandering about. If so, have your farmer walk into the fenced area, and then block the entrance. Otherwise, you can simply use fencing instead of hay bales for a better looking trap.

Trap Farmer Tip: Technique #3 – Load Trapped

In my opinion, the best way to trap your farmer is when the farm is first loaded. To do this, simply load your farm and look at where your FarmVille farmer is. Before moving him, trap him by placing hay bales or anything else on all 4 sides of him or her.

Your farmer will not move diagonally, so you don’t have to worry about those spot. Now, he is trapped, and will be trapped whenever you load your farm.

Trap Farmer Tip: Cheap Blocking

Although some people will tell you that the hay bales are the cheapest to use to trap your FarmVille farmer, they have likely forgotten about signs. Just to the left of your FarmVille farm name you will see a button that looks like a chat bubble from a comic or cartoon. Click that button and place a sign post on your farm, type out a message and click ok. Now you will have a free, non-passable object that can be used to block your farmer.
