So, I'm *still* resisting starting a baby farm (because I wouldn't be able to leave it as a baby farm and I like the challenge of one farm!), but I'd like to be able to occasionally access my farm on my phone instead of my iPad, if I do that, would I still be able to start a new farm on my iPhone should I ever feel like I'd like to have absolutely no life at all outside of HD? I should be able to shouldn't I?
I started a baby farm on my old iPhone. I created a 2nd fb account just for it, just have not connected it yet, so it is not saved.Quote:

I don't think I will start a baby farm, because I really would be unable to leave it alone & I really need to stop playing my farm so much, not increase the time time I spend playing :facepalm: I just don't want to rule it out entirely, just for the convenience of being able to access my farm on my phone sometimes. It's just that when I'm out, it would be easier than getting the iPad out & hot spotting it.
Trying to send you a PM, smallchange... Mailbox full!
if you log in to gamecenter on your phone, you can load your farm onto it. It is not against the rules. If you start a baby farm, however, you will need a separate account.
One farm, 2 devices is okay
1 device, 2 farms, not okay

I think it would be ok, I'd just like someone who knows for sure to confirm that.
I thought I'd bite the bullet & give it a go.
I downloaded it onto the phone & it started up a new farm, so I closed it down and re opened it. It asked if I wanted to play L127 farm from the cloud or L1 farm on the phone. I selected L127 but now it's saying it will delete L1 farm if I do that. That would be fine, but does that mean I can't EVER start a new farm on my phone if I do that?
No, once you delete hayday from the phone, and re install, it starts a brand new farm and asks you if you want the old farm, or the new one. Thats my experience anywayQuote:

If I ever decide to start a baby farm on my phone I'll deal with it then. For now the convenience of being able to quickly trash the board & harvest crops etc from my phone instead of faffing about getting out my iPad & hot spotting it outweighs any future insane thoughts of starting a baby farm!
Be careful. I tried a while back on my old iPhone. I ended up losing 2 little farms I had started. I contacted support and apple both. I had to factory reset the phone and just start from scratch. I don't even play it. It's way too much bother. Seems like fun at first then it becomes a chore.
Do you mean 'Be careful' if I ever start a new farm?Quote:

1 game, 2 devices is easy. I do this daily. At home I play on my iPad and when I'm at work or out and about I check into my farm on my phone.
2 games, 1 device is a bit more difficult. As long as each farm is connected to a separate Facebook account it is doable.
It would probably be easier to pick up a cheap device to run a second account. You can pick up a used Kindle Fire for like $10. I use my old iPad mini. It definitely struggles playing but it's playable.
No, you can have only one farm per Android device no matter how many Google accounts you have on phone. But, you can factory reset your old Android and login in different Google account and start new Hay Day farmQuote:

A lot of bad info in here. I have 2 farms on one device, my buddy has 3. His are more than 12 months old, never a single problem, so it is tested.
Additional info:
-neither of us ever use any Apple product, so no Gamecenter. We both use Android tablets and save our farms on Googleplay cloud.
-neither of us use Facebook, so we never log onto FB from our devices. We both use Samsung devices.
There is/was? a quirk if you use FB, preventing you from switching between your farms, like if it "locks" your device to a single farm. With Googleplay, it is done in 3 seconds, you choose which account to play (your farms are locked to your account, which Android device you are using is irrelevant).Each farm is on its separate account, different user name, different e-mail, the usual stuff. Then you select from the Cloud which farm to load, type CONFIRM and play. Foolproof. Never did a factory reset, nor would i ever do it just to play a game.
Playing a full price AAA retail game on 2 devices or 2 person is pirating, but Hayday is free to play. Supercell makes money with micro-transactions, not by selling the game. By having 2 farms i am double-exposed to the call of the cookie, and actually spending about 70% more real cash on diamonds,, thus helping Supercell. In my humble opinion, it is a win-win situation for all.
If someone feels the urge to bash me about that, replace the "my baby farm" sentence with "my little sister's farm".
The Bottom Line:
I did not start a second farm to take some unfair advantage. Very often i dont even opt-in the derby, to my hood chief's annoyance, not really competitive in this game, just chillin'. I am one of us self-employed lucky ones, so can play whenever i want, for as long as i want. I use it when i am "all done" on the main farm and thus bored.The baby farm is only lvl 31 and sucking in most my products to fill truck orders to level up out of it's current uselesness pit effectively slowing my main farm's progress and depleting my coins and my Amex credit card ;-)
Hope this helps. My experience on iOS devices is that if you log out of the account linked to your farm and then open the farm it will ask if you want to play the farm on your device or not choose the new farm. If you say no, you will start a new farm. So the answer to your question is yes. Even though you use your current farm you can always start a new farm in that way. When you log back in, just choose the new "baby" farm and you're good to go. I have s device for all my farms, but because I tend to play my farms on whatever device I have at hand - logging in and out as needed - I generally have to choose. That is more dangerous but, thank God, so far I've been managing it. Good luck.
I've got one one farm on two devices. The same farm on my Android phone and Android tablet. I barely go on hay day on my phone unless I extremely need to. It wears down my battery real fast on my phone. I, mostly, play on my tablet when I am home. I usually stick to playing solitaire or Tetris on my phone.Quote:

The tablet uses WIFI, wireless connection to my router-internet. When you play hay day, you are always online, thus draining the battery fast. Just like being on the phone talking to your friend all night long or for countless hours ever day. Plus, these large screens use up lots of power when on.
So i prefer the tablet, i just keep the charge cable stuck in all the time, and i dont need to carry it half charged everyplace i go like i do with my phone.

Your advice is bad. You can have only one farm account per Android device.
You dont understand, all the games are saved in the Google play cloud, online.On the Google servers.You must connect to Googleplay (or Facebook) to save your farm. The game itself reminds you to do that in the settings. If you dont, you may lose your farm for a number of reasons. Then Supercell customer support may or may not help you recover your farm.
You can have as many farms as you want, just can play only one AT A TIME. If i could, i would post a screenshot of the farms list where you choose which farm to play. Once saved, you can burn your android device, buy a brand new one, install hay day, start the game and it will ask you if you want to start a new farm or choose an existing one from the list of farms you previously played. If you dont get it, its okay, but it works with me and at least a bunch friends i know playing like that. I could even provide both my ID#, for you to befriend both my farms and chat with me from each of them, if i wanted.
I am NOT encouraging anyone to play on multiple farms, just pointing out facts that I "discovered". The last thing i need is to get clobbered/banned by Supercell as EULA-offender.
It is your choice anyway, but if something happened to you, Supercell say they no guaranteed that can restore your game. And Google said too-you can have one Google account associated with Google play on one device. For examples, you can export data from one Google account to another Google account, everything,but not Google play.
"Keep in mind that you can only have 1 farm on your device, so please choose carefully!"-this Supercell said on their help support page.
I have two Google account on my phone. In Google Play Store in second account I don't have Hay Day in download apps. And I can't twice download a same app. So, how is your second farm saved? Where?
Of course, the eventual risk is mine to take. Even Supercell cant restore every single busted farm. Hayday forums are full of complaints like that.Quote:

Sorry for off topic, but only good advice Wussypus said:
One farm, 2 devices is okay
1 device, 2 farms, not okay
No matter if device is apple or android
Depends on the (graphics? ) chipset in the device - my old nexus 4 phone would get hot and die in 15 minutes, my moto g5 runs it well. Wife had the same problem with a nexus tablet. Fortunately the tablet died within the warranty period and we got a full refund. Her galaxy tab A is much better (though the s2 is better still)Quote:
