CityVille is the wildly popular new Zynga Facebook game that has swiftly joined the ranks of FarmVille, FrontierVille and other big Facebook games, becoming the single fastest-growing game in the history of Facebook. Much of the gameplay is very similar to FrontierVille and FarmVille, but due to the city building elements, it also presents an entirely new gaming experience compared to those two games. Not only do you get to build residences and businesses which build up your count of citizens and earn you money, you can also farm in order to earn goods. You can also use the shipping of goods to either earn goods or to earn money. This article includes tips on both shipping and farming. Read on for the tips...Farming in itself is very simple, and if you have played FarmVille before, you know how it goes. Click on an empty farm plot, and you will be prompted with a choice of different crops to plant. Each one takes a different, specified amount of time to ripen and be ready for harvest, and then when you harvest them, you earn the specified amount of goods, as well as some bonus experience points. Your crop will go bad after a set amount of time after ripening (equal to the amount of time it takes your crop to ripen), with the exception of strawberries, which never go bad.
Choose your crops wisely. Even though you unlock various new crops as you gain levels, sometimes the old standbys, the crops that you begin the game with, are the best choices. Carrots, which take 8 hours to mature and earn 70 goods per harvested patch, are one of the best choices in the game, both for time-to-goods ratio, and for earning you a lot of goods without wasting energy. Strawberries are excellent if you DO want to use up unused energy in exchange for experience points, and you want to easily complete the collection and earn its bonuses.
If you need to store more grain, go to the second page of the "farming" menu under "Build!" and build more silos, red barns or sticks. Consequently, if you want to farm more, build more empty farm plots by going to the first page of the farming menu. Place them wherever you want to (doesn't matter if they're next to the street or not). And if you are running out of uses for goods, ship them out or build more and more businesses and franchises to supply goods to.Now, shipping is the harder part. You can't even ship until you build a pier. You need to become the mayor of your city before you can build a pier - this is done by accomplishing various little tasks in your city. Once you become the mayor, you need to expand your city into a mostly water-filled area. If you don't have an area that's mostly water, with enough water to accept a pier, you won't be able to place a pier at all even if it is partially in the water.
Now, use the shipping functions to either send goods out of your city and make money in return using "sell goods", or pay money to order goods from cities using "buy goods". The more friends you have in CityVille, the more various shipping options you have, allowing you to send goods to more friends, use up more time, and earn more money or more goods.
