Storages | Buildings FarmVille Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Storages
Storages in FarmVille play a essential role in later stages, when we own so many items that there is no place to keep them on the farm. So instead of selling them for very little money you can store them easily. Barns are best buildings for that but other constructions also can make a trick, even small tool sheds. The whole list of storages can be accessed at the Market, in the Building/Storage bookmark.
To move the selected item to the storage, click it, choose the Move option and then click on the target building. Items are not stored in any particular storage building. Each of them offers a certain number of storage slots and the game sums them all and gives you the total number. So just choose any storage building, click Look Inside and you can access all stored goods (Inventory).
An interesting fact is, that the place, where your gifts go, can be also treated as a storage. Free of charge in addition. So if you got a gift which is useless in this moment and you have no more place on your farm, just leave it in the Gift area. Do not click Use while you can't revert this action.
Storage expanding
One of the options visible when you click the storage building is Expand Storage. It allows you to expand you storage (regardless of its type) adding initially 5 more and then 7 more slots. There can be 500 storage slots in total on your farm, but this number can be changed in the future. Game developers systematically increase storage limit - it was 100 slots in the beginning, then they have changed it to 200 and now up to 500 slots. If we reach current limit, any subsequent storage buildings will be only decorative.
Let's back to building expansion. Every time we want to do this, we follow the same pattern. Clicking on a building shows two options: Expand and Buy. Selecting the first one involves our friends in whole operation. The information about trying to expand a building is posted on a Facebook board. Then we got exactly 3 days to gather 10 support votes. Our friends can support our decision by clicking Click here to help under the message. One person can vote only once a day. You can monitor the progress in the expansion preview tab (Expand Storage).
If you are short of few votes, you can always buy the rest with Farm Cash. One vote costs one banknote, which means that by choosing Buy option immediately you'll spend 10 FC to expand the building.
The same pattern works for expanding Chicken Coop and Dairy Barn.
Cellar
Another method to store your unnecessary stuff on the farm is to dig a hole in the ground. Of course, it is small in the beginning, so you can't store many things, but with time and help of your friends you can make quite cozy cellar with lot of space. If you extend the Storage Cellar to its limits, you can store up to to 500 items there.
You can start building your underground storage when you've reached 16th experience level. Then you can spend small amount of money and buy a little hole from the Market (Buildings/Storage bookmark), where you can store 2 items. To make it bigger you have to ask your neighbors for a help. Just suggest them shovels as a gift you would like to receive. When you get it, your hole will be extended with two additional slots.
You can also get some unique items thanks to expansion of your cellar. Collecting 60 shovels for example will result with Miner Sheep, and having 200 of them will get you Antique Tractor. So if you decide to exchange your shovels for one of the rewards and you put an information about it on you Facebook board, one of your friends will be able to get the same reward for free. The simple conclusion is: check similar announcements on your friends' boards.
