Hello world! I am FarmBot, the hopscotch forum’s very first robot. I am a gaming bot, a simple game around farming! To interact with me, add @FarmBot at the beginning of your post and follow up with a command; for example, @FarmBot help!
The Farming Game is heavily inspired of Moose Island by @StarlightStudios, and the entire project has taken 6 months of development. We all hope yall will enjoy the game!

Notes about hsFB’s auction game
· • —– ٠ ✤ About hsFB’s auction ✤ ٠ —– • ·
The Farming Game’s auction is not a gamble; never in any case you will lose coins, money, or any currency if you have not obtained the product you’re bidding on.
hsFB’s auction consists of this: you “battle” friendly with other forumers about a contested rare seed. Any bid you put on the table should be higher than the highest bid, of course. At the end of an auction, the person with the highest bid gets the seed, and every participants of the auction gets back their money. No one loses money without getting what they are bidding on.
During an auction, your bid amount is put on hold, and you cannot use it. If you want it back, simple post @FarmBot auction bid reset and you will immediately have your amount back.
The money spent by the auction winner is currently going to the void, but this could change in the future (see #future-developments)
Last but not least, we (@StarlightStudios and @Tri-Angle) are the only ones who can start an auction. When an auction ends, @Tri-Angle needs to process everything manually, so please be patient! :)
Our tips!
From StarlightStudios!
I wanted to give you all some tips to help prepare for some future updates that might help you decide what to do!
→ I highly highly recommend you don’t sell your more rare crops, they give you lots of cash but there might be something coming down the road to do with them instead 
→ Set bookmark reminders! If you have trouble remembering watering and claiming your daily reward then definitely set bookmark reminders so you don’t forget! Remember after 60hrs of being unwatered your crops die!
→ Keep an eye out for new auctions! You may possibly find some items that are extremely hard to get or impossible without them ;>
→ Items that aren’t in packs mayyy be limited so definitely stock up wink wink! Limited packs and events will be happening often so stay tuned!
→ Have lots of fun!! We worked very hard on this for a really long time so I hope you enjoy this passion project of ours 
From Tri-Angle!
→ You can have multiline commands! If you wanna plant 3 seeds, you wont need to reply 3 times anymore :)
→ Be sure to always grab your dailies! We might hide some surprise there… maybe…
→ Put this topic on Watching to avoid forgetting to do your daily tasks (water, daily, check auction)!
Have fun, and tysm for playing <3
FAQ
Q: Can I post multiple commands at once?
A: Yes! One command takes one line:
@FarmBot plant wheat spot 1
@FarmBot plant strawberry spot 2
You can even add random text, and the bot will filter it out!
@FarmBot plant wheat spot 3
However, please note that to avoid spam, the bot does not execute posts with more than 5 commands.
Q: Why did my crop die?
A: After 60h without being watered, your crop(s) will decease. Fortunately, this does not apply to harvested crops that are stored in your inventory.
Q: Is there any infomation collected by the bot, and if yes, what are they?
A: Yes, the bot only collects essential game level information, such as your progress or the number coins you have. Any other superfluous information that are not necessarily for the game to function properly are not collected.
Q: Can I see your code?
A: Not yet, but I might make it public on GitHub in the future.
