Current version (beta). Numbers change with balancing.
FarmCapi uses two currencies. Coins cover day-to-day farming: seeds, animals, plots, buildings, feed and decorations. Gems are optional shortcuts in production buildings. Every farm starts with 100 coins and 5 gems. In the current version (November 2026), gems are earned only by playing: through levels, quests and orders.
How to earn coins
| Source | How much |
|---|---|
| Selling in the Barn | 2 (radish) to 400 (pumpkin sweet) per unit |
| Level rewards | 40 to 500 per level; 4,580 from level 2 to 20 |
| Quests | 15 to 250 each; 1,815 across all 21 quests |
| Orders | 2.2 × the items' sale value + 10 |
Orders are the most efficient way to turn goods into coins: they pay more than double the direct sale. The best use of each plot is covered on every crop page; for the short version, read how to earn coins fast.
Where coins go
| Expense | Price |
|---|---|
| Seeds | 2 (radish) to 100 (pumpkin) |
| Feed, Bug spray, Fertilizer | 2, 6 and 12 |
| Chicken / cow | 60 / 450 |
| Extra plots | 40 to 5,200 each; 36,740 for all 27 |
| Buildings | 250, 900, 1,400 and 2,400 (5,150 for all four) |
| Decorations (Shop's Decor tab) | 70 to 260 |
Design decision: every coin coming in has somewhere to go. Plots, with their climbing prices, are the big long-term sink; decorations are there for players who already have coins to spare.
How to earn gems
| Source | Gems |
|---|---|
| New farm | 5 |
| Leveling up | 1 per level; 3 at levels 5, 10, 15 and 20 (27 from level 2 to 20) |
| Quests | "The farm is growing" 1, "A proper farm" 2, "Strawberry jam" 2, "Freshly ground cornmeal" 1, "Grandma's cake" 2, "Jam jars" 2 (10 total) |
| Orders | 2 for the first; 1 or 2 for each one after |
Add up the starting gems, levels and quests and you get 42 guaranteed gems by level 20, plus whatever orders bring in.
Where gems go
Gems have two uses in the current version, both in production buildings:
1. Opening queue slots. Every building starts with 2 slots and goes up to 5.
| Building | 3rd slot | 4th slot | 5th slot | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windmill | 6 | 12 | 20 | 38 |
| Cheese house | 8 | 14 | 22 | 44 |
| Wood stove | 8 | 14 | 22 | 44 |
| Sweets kettle | 10 | 16 | 25 | 51 |
Opening every slot in all four buildings costs 177 gems.
2. Speeding up the item in progress. The cost is 1 gem per 10 minutes remaining, rounded up, with a minimum of 1. Items waiting in line move up too.
| Full recipe | Gems to speed up |
|---|---|
| Feed (2 min) | 1 |
| Cornmeal (15 min) / butter (20 min) | 2 |
| Cornmeal cake (30 min) | 3 |
| Minas cheese (40 min) | 4 |
| Cheese bread (45 min) / jam (50 min) | 5 |
| Pumpkin sweet (1 h 30 min) | 9 |
Slot or speed-up?
A slot is forever; a speed-up is one and done. With your 5 starting gems plus the first level rewards, the Windmill's 3rd slot (6 gems) is the best first purchase: the Windmill queue then holds 45 minutes of cornmeal. Speeding up pays when little time is left: with 9 minutes remaining, it costs 1 gem.
Speed up and Open a slot both ask for a second tap ("Confirm?"), so no gem leaves your wallet by accident.
