Young Finn

The Animal Tender: Young Finn feeds and collects from your animal buildings to keep chosen goods in stock.

Young Finn is the Animal Tender, the animal-side partner of your Farm Hands. You tell him which animal goods you want in the barn and how many, and he feeds and collects from your animal buildings until each target is reached.

Setting him up

  1. Open Farm → Upgrades → Farm Hands and scroll to Young Finn.
  2. Pick up to 3 animal goods (Eggs, Milk, Wool and so on). He works the list from top to bottom.
  3. Set a stock target for each. All targets together can be at most 60.
  4. Activate him with a Helper Potion or diamonds.
Activation Time
Helper Potion 8 hours
15 diamonds 24 hours
35 diamonds 3 days
75 diamonds 7 days

He uses the same Helper Potions as Grandma Willow, and both can work at the same time.

What he needs

  • Feed in the barn. Finn feeds your buildings with feed you already own. Keep the Feed Mill busy, or he stops with “out of feed”.
  • Barn space. A collection needs room for the whole batch.
  • Buildings. He only tends animal buildings you have built.

He keeps working while the game is closed and catches up on up to 4 hours of work when you come back. His card shows his status: working, on duty with all targets covered, or idle and why.

Tips

  • Set targets just above what your orders and recipes use in a day, so the barn does not fill with one product.
  • Upgraded animal buildings make more per batch, so Finn reaches his targets faster.
  • Collect All and Feed All on the animals screen do the same job by hand when you are playing anyway.
