Overview
The 3D farm is not a separate game. It is a second way to look at the farm you already have. The same plants, buildings, coins, crew and weather show up here, and anything you plant, water, harvest or build in 3D is in your 2D game too.
The time, weather and season in 3D always match your farm on the regular screen. Walk up to a building, a plant or an animal and gold buttons pop up for what you can do there.
How to open it
- On the home screen, tap Walk your farm in 3D (it says “Your field, crew and town”).
- Or switch the header picture to My 3D farm, or tap the 🧊 3D farm button beside your next step.
- To always start in 3D, open ⋯ More → ⚙️ Settings and pick 🧊 Start in 3D. Close ✕ always takes you back to the regular screen.
The first visit
The first time the 3D farm opens, Huckleberry gives you a quick 8-card tour: welcome, look around, walk around, your next step, the Farm menu, Build, places to visit, and Settings. You can skip it, and you can take it again any time from Settings → 🧭 Take the tour again.
After the tour, a small card offers to show you the way to the hayride, until you have taken it once. On a new farm (level 5 or lower), Sierra also offers a guided first day when you start walking. See Sierra's First Day.
Four ways to see your farm
| View | What it does | How |
|---|---|---|
| 🛰️ Overview | The whole farm from above. Drag to turn, pinch or scroll to zoom, tap anything to see what it is. | This is where the 3D farm opens |
| 🚶 Walk around | Your farmer on foot. Walk up to plants, animals and buildings to use them. | Walk around button, W key, or Y / △ on a controller |
| 🎬 Flyover | A slow flight around the farm. | Flyover button, or B / ○ on a controller |
| 🦅 Bird's-eye | Straight down from above. Handy for planning rows. | ⋯ More → Bird's-eye |
Walking versus the overview camera
In the overview, the camera circles the farm. The ⟲ ⟳ buttons turn it and ＋ － move closer or farther. Tapping a thing shows its name, or its stat card if the Scan tool is in your hand.
When you walk, the camera follows your farmer. It has three views: 🎥 Look around (over your shoulder, the usual view), 🙂 Face view (the camera in front so you see your farmer's face) and 👁️ Your eyes (first person). Press V or tap the camera button to switch. Scrolling all the way in goes to your eyes, and scrolling out comes back. Tap 🛰️ Back to overview to leave walking.
What you can do here
- Farm the field with the tool belt: Scan, Water, Harvest, Inspect, Plant, Clear and Pollinator row. See Tool Belt.
- Walk into buildings: the Farmhouse, Farm Office, Market Pavilion, Workshop Barn, Heritage Gazebo, Arcade Shed and more. See Places to Visit in 3D.
- Drive the Farm Truck around the farm or into Market Square, and take road trips or flights to other farms. See Trips to Other Farms.
- Build, move and decorate with Build, Arrange and Design. See Build, Arrange and Design.
- Take pictures in Photo Mode or watch a Flyover.
- Open any part of the game over your farm with the 📋 Farm menu. See Farm Menu.
Tips
- If the 3D farm feels slow, open ⋯ More → ⚙️ Settings and lower the graphics or the frame rate. Closing other browser tabs helps too.
- If your device can't draw 3D at all, the game says so. The Farm Map shows the same farm in 2D.
- Pause motion (under ⋯ More) stops moving clouds, animals and camera drift if motion bothers you.
