Farm Animals

Farm animals are a type of Friend which help automate tasks on the Farm. They can be rescued in the wild or purchased from shops Town and the Seasonal Festivals. They will follow the player into town at the end of the day, but otherwise will not leave the farm.

Animals are not damaged or targeted by enemies but can be abducted by Mini U.F.O.s, such as during the Alien Moon event or U.F.B. boss fight. If this happens, they may be returned to the Farm later, inside an Alien pod.

Farm animals can be energised by certain items, causing them to move and work twice as fast. Other items may enable them to drop produce which can be sold for Cashews, or turn Weeds into Flowers, which can be harvested.

There are four kinds of animal, and each have a regular and upgraded version. These upgraded versions perform tasks more frequently than the regular versions, with extra benefits depending on the animal.
