The Winter Workshop is now available in FarmVille! This new constructible building is the first major step to our FarmVille holiday season and soon enough you’ll be able to harvest special Holiday Gifts from the Winter Workshop for special use later. But first, however, just worry about getting them built as much as you can. (Updated for a little clarity.)

Workin’ on the Workshop

You’ll get the base for the Winter Workshop for free the first time you play FarmVille after the game update, and you will immediately be entered into Placement Mode. You can place the Winter Workshop base on your farm now, or you can choose to place it in your Gift Box for use later.


You’ll only be able to have one Winter Workshop at a time. If you sell yours and want another, you can find it in the Market in the “Buildings” tab for 5,000 coins. You’ll need to be level 5 in order to place and use the Winter Workshop.

The basic Winter Workshop looks pretty but you'll need to level it first before you can start to harvest it for Holiday Gifts (when Holiday Gifts are implemented). Twelve (12) parts (4 bricks, 4 nails and 4 wooden boards) will be needed to complete construction of the first level:




Like other constructible buildings, you can acquire these parts by:

* Asking your neighbors for these parts by posting a help request to your feed (click on the “Ask For More” button for each type of part).
* Give parts to your neighbors via the Free Gifts page or the “Send Gifts” button.
* Acquire individual parts by spending Farm Cash (click on the “Buy” button for that particular part). Each part is 1 Farm Cash.
* Acquire all needed parts for the building by spending Farm Cash (click on the “Complete Now” button to purchase parts for the rest of the building). The Cost is X Farm Cash, where X is the amount of parts left needed to finish the building.
* Parts awarded through Special Delivery Boxes.
* Using individual parts available in your Gift Box.


Once you complete construction of the first level you’ll see this new window:







There are two more levels of construction; the second level requires forty-five (45) total parts (15 bricks, 15 nails and 15 wooden boards), where the meter will be halfway filled, while the third level requires an additional sixty (60) parts (20 each of the 3 above). The bigger the level of the Winter Workshop, the more Holiday Gifts you’ll get when you harvest it.

Here’s how the Winter Workshop will look:



Harvesting for Holiday Gifts will begin soon. Your neighbors will be able to harvest your Winter Workshops for Holiday Gifts as well. Enjoy!
