No farm in Farmvile is complete without a good collection of hay bales. But, did you know that you can really show off by stacking your hay bales in cool and colorful formations?
Hay bale stacking is just an illusion on Farmville. The code doesn’t actually allow stacking, but by placing the hay bales in strategic locations, it can appear as though the hay is stacked in nice little rows.
The trick to doing so is to place the hay bales so the top right corner of each hay bale in your bottom row is touching the bottom left corner of each hay bale in the row above it.
Then you’ll want to place extra hay bales to fill in the gaps on the right and left sides, so the ends are even. Add two to the right on the bottom row; add one to the right on the second row, etc.
After that, add two bales immediately behind the hay bale on the bottom left, and one immediately behind the hay bale on the middle left. You’ll end up with what looks like steps on the left side.
You can expand on this process to create bigger and better hay stacks. You can also vary the colors of the hay bales that you use. There are currently ten colors of hay bales – white, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, gray and black.
You can make cool designs for the holidays and different seasons of the year. How about an all-red heart for Valentine’s Day? Or a green four-leaf clover for St. Patrick’s Day? You can try other neat designs too, like a gigantic pyramid, waterfall, logo, or smiley face. Some players build high towers and put houses on them, creating villas in the sky. There are also massive fortress-like structures that can make your farm look like a fortified battle zone.
There is really no limit to the number of designs you can make, and if you get really good at it, you can enter your designs in various contests found around the web.
You can obtain hay bales by either purchasing them in the market under “Decorations – Hay Bales” for 125 coins each. You can also receive them as gifts from friends and neighbors. The more active a player you are in giving gifts and helping others in Farmville, the more likely you’ll receive assistance and gifts of your own in return.
Hay bale stacking is a relatively easy and inexpensive way to decorate your farm and really make it stand out from the crowd. We hope you found these tips helpful. Give it a try and comment with any suggestions or feedback here!
