3D Screen and Dock

Overview

The 3D farm keeps its buttons in slim glass bars over the picture so you can see as much of your farm as possible. There are three: the status row across the top, the tool belt on the right, and the dock along the bottom.

The top row

• 🏅 Your grower stage (Backyard Grower, Market Grower, Farm Operator, Diversified Farmer, Commercial Grower or Master Grower). If you have a Prestige rank, its chip shows first.
• 📅 Year and week, for example “Year 1 · Week 2”.
• ⏭️ Advance week. Tap it once and it changes to “Tap again to advance”. Tap again within 4 seconds and a week goes by. This two-tap step stops accidents.
• 👉 Next: the game's next suggested step. Tap it to go do it. On phones it is a round 👉 button.

The status orbs

Under the top row are the same Farm Pulse circles as the 2D game: the farm clock, weather, level, coins, water, crop health, energy and the counters. They update every second, and tapping an orb presses the real one in the game. The clock tile has ‹ › buttons to slow or speed the farm clock.

When the row is wider than your screen, round ‹ › buttons appear at its ends. While you move, the row steps out of the way. Tap the 📌 pin to dock it so it always shows.

The dock

The bottom dock holds ⟲ ⟳ ＋ － to turn and zoom, then 📋 Farm menu, 🏗️ Build, 🏡 Arrange, 🎨 Design, 🎬 Flyover, 🚶 Walk around and 🌻 Farm Life, and ⋯ More.

By default the dock is compact: icon tiles with a short label. ⤢ shows full labels. ✕ (or the H key) tucks it away to a small ▴ Controls pill so the farm is clear, for example while driving. On phones the dock scrolls sideways under your thumb, with ‹ › arrows when there are more buttons than fit.

Walk-up buttons

When you walk up to something, a floating prompt shows what it is and the main thing to do there (press E or tap it). A compact action strip lists the rest, with up to three buttons in a row and a drawer for more. On foot, only the few nearest job bubbles show, so the screen stays calm.
