FAQ'S (Frequently Asked Questions)
How did this thread come to be?
The thread was started in November 2012, the brainchild of Fish Hunter (aka FH, or Fish Trapper) who has been the thread captain ever since. He gathered a group of helpers who have had a marvelous time helping more than 500 farmers attain Captain III. Our goal has always been one of service rather than personal gain, and the close-knit group willingly contributes time, supplies, and knowledge to help others in the HayDay community.
We give special recognition to 3Dyms, Cimarron77, Elise, Fiona, Rainee, Scarboroughfairfarm, Sinoref, Sophia & WanNotTon who have retired but will never be forgotten. Thank you for all your hard work!!!

After achieving Captain I, do I need to start over to do Captain II??
No!! You have to do 12 boats consecutively (in a row) to get all of your captain achievements done at once. This is why we do not want you to ever miss a boat!
May I help other boats?
We strongly suggest that you keep your stock right now, you may need it for your next boat. Once you have graduated, you are welcome to help.
What if I post and no one replies??
We try to have someone monitoring the thread when it is open, especially when boats are due. If there is no activity on the thread and you have waited several minutes, please come back now and then. If there is activity on the thread but no one replies to you, please post again, your message might have been missed!
How do I delay my boat arrival time?
To delay your boat arrival, completely close your HayDay game. From your home screen, double click on the home button. On the bottom of the screen will be all your open apps. Push and hold the HayDay app icon and a minus sign will appear. Push the icon one more time and HayDay will close.
If you are using apples iOS7 operating system - Double tap the home button, put your finger on the HayDay app and swipe up, the app is now closed.
Once your boat is at the dock you cannot stop the clock. You can only keep a boat from arriving.
You may still get a notification that your boat has arrived. Do not open the app to check!!
I can’t open my boat when I said I would. What should I do?
Please post and tell us so someone is not waiting for your boat.
Can you tell me how many items are likely to be needed in my crates?
The HayDay GuideBook has a list of likely quantities. Since the GuideBook was published, the quantities of some items have been decreased somewhat, and at lower levels the quantities of all items may be less than stated.
Why do you care what crates I ask for help on?
If you only need a little help, feel free to pick the crates. But if you need help with more than 3 crates, we can assist you in deciding which ones to ask for help with. Some things are more likely to be stolen (sniped) if we have to sell them to you. These items include sugars, jam, and dairy products.
What can I do to make it easier to use the forum?
- Play HayDay on one device and view the forum on another (a computer or a smartphone).
- If you have not yet registered, try to use your GameCenter name as your “user name”.
- Enable pop-ups for private messages so you see them right away. Go to settings/ my account/general settings/ private messaging/new private message notification pop-up, and change the option to ”show”.
- Edit your profile. In my settings/edit profile/location, put in your general location; we then have an idea of your time zone.
- If you have a GameCenter/forum name that is not gender specific, you may want to add your first name in your signature so everyone can tell if you are male or female.
- Change your view so the newest post is at the top of the first page. Go to settings/my account/general settings/thread display options/thread display mode, and change to “linear-newest”.
- Remember that you must wait 1 minute between posts. For this reason, you may see us editing a prior post rather than starting a new one. If you are waiting for a response you may want to check the post before yours.
Once I have completed my Captain III achievement, what is next???
- Most importantly you can cast off boats that require sugars, high volume dairy, etc. Just tap on the “send boat” button before asking for help or filling any crates.
- We also help candidates get their Turbo Trucker achievements. Please go to post # 3 for more information.
- If you would like to help others, you are welcome. Please don’t offer to fill crates or sell to new candidates until they have been checked and confirmed by a boat helper, as this can confuse them and keep them from doing everything they need to do to get started.
Turbo Trucker Achievement Help
Are you looking for help with Turbo Trucker (TT) II or III? If so, you have come to the right place! We offer advice on how to prepare and then will provide back up for you during your runs.
TT achievements reset after each goal. For example, if you fill 20 trucks (TT II), you then have to do another 30 to reach TT III! For this reason the two runs are usually done at least a few days apart, giving you time to restock in between.
Preparation Guidelines
*** Preparation is the key factor for a successful TT Run! ***
- Choose your first 8-9 truck orders wisely. Discard those that contain jam, metal bars, and jewelry. If barn space is a problem, choose orders that don’t take up a lot of space. Keep discarding orders until you like them all.
- Make sure that every order has a green tick/checkmark and that duplicate orders are covered. (If you have 2 orders each needing 3 cream cakes, you really need 6 cream cakes, even though each order will have a green tick.)
General supplies
- Try to stock 5 of every product you can make in addition to what you need for the first order board. (You need to have more than 5 bread and popcorn.)
- Keep in mind that animal feed and ore are never needed for truck orders.
- Have all of your animals ready so you are able to collect from them when needed.
- Once your barn is full, you can continue to make food products and leave them stacked outside the machines. (Your barn must be completely full for this to happen.) Consider leaving popcorn, bread, sugars, and cream until last and then store them outside. You can store up to 100 items on each machine, though you will only see about 8 of them. As you run your trucks and your barn empties you can pick up the outside supplies. For specific instructions on stockpiling please click here.
- Stock long-growing plants in your silo, and be sure your wheat and corn is ready to be collected in your fields. It is easy to grow a second or even third crop of wheat and corn during the run.
- Keep your fruit on the trees and bushes to collect when you need it; store some in the silo only if you have extra space.
Additional advice
- If you are very close to leveling up it is wise to check the HayDay Guidebook to see what new items you will get. If you are in the middle of your run when you level up you may be asked for items you cannot yet make!
- Ensure that you have enough coins to be able to pay base price for needed items.
- If you are close to a barn, silo, or land expansion, you may wish to expand before doing TT so you have more barn space.
- You may need to stop filling boat orders during TT preparation so you can concentrate on building your stockpile.
TT Run
**** Stay calm and listen to your main helper! ***
Getting Started
- We are happy to back you up by selling you items needed that are in excess of the guidelines. However, we expect that you will be prepared as stated above. If it is obvious during the run that you are not adequately prepared, we may ask you to stop your run and come back when you are.
- Once you feel you are ready, please post on the forum. The TT run may be able to be done immediately, but there is a good chance that it will need to be scheduled when there is enough help around and when there are no boats being filled . We may ask some questions about your stock levels or even ask you to provide lists of both the first board orders and the stock on hand so we can be sure that your run will be successful.
- You will be matched with an experienced main helper who will coordinate your run and sell you needed items. You should only listen to your main helper during the run!
- If the main helper is out of an item, s/he will buy it from a backup. This won't affect you as you will still buy what is needed from your main helper, but you may be asked to wait to shop.
- If you can arrange it, it is much easier to use 2 devices during the run; 1 for Hay Day and 1 for the forum.
TT Run
- Before starting your run, visit your main helper’s store and then go back to your farm. Your main helper’s farm will then be centered on your friend bar.
- Your main helper will give you the go-ahead to start. You may be asked to go to your main's shop and buy wheat to mark the start time. We will keep track of your time.
- Once you start, run your first board of truck orders and post that you have done so. After that, continue to run your trucks until you have some items you need. Do a new post with each list of items needed. After you post, please go to your main helper’s shop to buy. There will be no wheat, so please move quickly.
- Please skip orders that will require you to buy metal bars, jewelry, and jam until the end; we will supply these items only if absolutely necessary.
- If you have stacked items outsider your machines, don't put them all in the barn too soon; save space for items you may need to get from your main helper.
- Every now and then while your truck is running please update us with your current truck number: click on the white house, find 'Turbo Trucker' and you will see how many trucks you have completed so far.
Good Luck!
We are here to help you all the way!!
