Freestyle Designer Tools (Hands) Explained
Farmtown Currently has three "Freestyle Farm Designer" Hands. They come in three colours...Yellow Orange and Green.
The yellow hand is available to everyone, from when you first join the game. It enables you to click on items on your farm, and move them to a different area. It eliminates the need to click on each item individually and then click move. It is ideal, if you are moving things around continually , in order to design your farm.
Within the September 2012 update, Slashkey introduced the Orange and Green Freestyle Designer hands, for the hard core designers, which allows you to get very creative in your farms easily. They enable you to take your designing to a whole new level, and to make creating waterfalls etc, a lot quicker and less fiddly.

Green Freestyle Farm Designer:
Costs 50 Farm Cash
In order to purchase the Green Freestyle Designer tool, you have to have purchased the Orange Freestyle Designer Tool. The Green "hand" allows Layering of All but Plants. If you already own the Orange Freestyle Farm Designer, you can buy this Green Freestyle Farm Designer to allow any item except plants (fields/crops/tress/flowers) to almost fully overlap other items. This means that you can stack your facilities, almost on top of each other, in order to create more room on your farms.
For instance, no one likes the mines, but they are a huge necessity. If you choose the right building (this will be done by trial and error), you can completely cover the mine with a much more attractive building. Therefore, allowing you to have mines on your farm, but without visually being able to see them. As Facilities can now be done through the Facility Manager, this also eliminates the need to be able to see all facilities on your farm.
By purchasing these hands, you will also be able to place decorative items, buildings etc on top of your water, without the need for dirt paths.
You can use these tools while designing on others farms as well. When you are designing a farm for others realtime, if you have the freestyle tools that tool will also be shown in your toolbox, meaning you can select the green man walk tool to rotate items and then select the freestyle tool back from the toolbox to continue editing.

**When you own both tools only the yellow hand and the green hand will show up in the extended toolbox. The green hand will do the jobs of both the Orange and Green Freestyle Farm Designers.**
Please note: These hands do not work on Tree's and Flowers and they will not overlap your crops for you. They are purely decorative tools.
Since the September 2012 update, it has now become possible to move Farm Cash items when designing with others in realtime: When you invite others to design a farm together, you now have the option to allow the designer to move your farm cash items as wel,l by checking a checkbox in the request message box.
