Digital Farm System (DFS) is an amazing new farming simulation system on Second Life (SL), which allows player experience the depths of farming life by planning their farming goals, breeding different types of farm animals, and grow their own crops, plants and trees.  The DFS community uses the system in various ways to further enhance their (SL) experiences.

We have many DFS users conduct trades with other farmers and users in well establish marketplaces and roles playing structures. This creates in world commerce to further supports the role-playing experience and their individual or group goals for DFS.   In addition, many DFS user enjoy the relaxing lifestyle of farming life and “getting back to nature”.  DFS creators have made every effort to ensure the system can be used in any role plays system and period, from Mayan farmers to post-apocalyptic earth!

The DFS system is intended to be family-friendly and safe for the whole family to enjoy. Therefore, DFS has resizable equipment to fit avatars at any sizes. In addition, several the equipment is sold in regular and tiny size, which is intended for ToddleeDoos, but often use by others to accommodate smaller space or multiple equipment needs.

We are constantly developing new items for the system or changing on the older products to make it a better and more fun experience for all.  DFS works hard to ensure timely updates and fix system issues quickly to guarantee everything runs smoothly.

We are proud to announce, October 3rd 2017 was the first birthday of DFS. Join the fun, and hopefully celebrate many success for years with us, as we develop new and citing ways to enhance your SL experience.

We will do random checks on listed auctions listed and if the auction house has been closed and not informed DFS staff we will not allow the user to get listed on the calendar again.

Public auction calendar is listed here https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=gobj0dmnae7aoja1jqqp3s2uhk%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FLos_Angeles

The above calendar will display the current auction times and locations, if you want your own auction house registered on the calendar please contact Aria Songlark to get it registered.

Please note that auctions times can overlap since we have a high demand in users that go to auction houses and so many items available to be sold, we like to encourage users to have a choice in where they want to go and the places they want to support.

Auction house / Market owners and their staff are expected to mind their own business and leave others to run their own auctions, do not give feedback to others if they did not ask for it.

Please report abusive users with proof and use the mute button, users found being abusive can be removed from the system.

Q: Can I use the system just to get water?
A: No, the automated ban system will detect this and ban you, since there is no gain in doing that, you are not playing the game/system as it is supposed to be played. Remember, its a farming game/system, not a water game. Therefore, getting excessive water and not harvesting items from fields, trees, animals, or cooking, will result in a ban from the DFS System.

Q: Can I be unbanned from the system? If so, how?
A: If you are banned for just gathering water, you can purchase the Starter Pack, and notify Ice Dover (ice12192.dover) or Fairy Forrest (blackfairy3ds) of your purchase. You will be unbanned and free to start farming. However, please note you can only buy the starter pack once. If you have already purchased the starter pack, which means you already have the equipment to farm, you will not be unbanned.

Q: Am I allowed to use bots, auto clicker, or any other tools like that?
A: No. Furthermore, if the system detects you for using external tools to automate your gathering water/fishing/crafting such as bots/program/auto clickers, you will be automatically banned from the system.

Q: How does DFS deals with inappropriate, rude, or abusive customers?
A: Customers, who are inappropriate, rude, or abusive towards another customer in the DFS Support or DFS Trade Group, will be muted and warned. Also, customers rude towards DFS CSR, in the process of assisting you with DFS issues or problems, in DFS Support Group, Trade Group, or private chats, will be muted and warned. If this behavior continues, the individual will be banned from the system. Typically, this type of ban is never removed and only can be removed by Ice Dover.

Q: I am Harvesting, but I am not getting my items. What should I do?

A: Stop! If you are not getting the items, do NOT continue to harvest. Check to see what the issue is.   1) Check on your Hud stat to see how many items are in the queue for you (Items in the queue: #).  If there are queue items, wait for them to deliver or check the number of items in the queue for the server at the store.  2) if you have nothing in the queue, complete the missing items steps, and template https://www.digitalfarmsystem.com/missing-items/.

We reserve the right to disable any product from individuals who have been banned from the system.
