Credits
L.O.S Farms is built on the work of many people who kept FarmVille alive after it closed. Thank you all.
Jade: fv-replowed-jade
Our game server is our friend Jade's fv-replowed-jade, "modified fv-replowed with fixes and improvements". On GitHub its 149 changes are credited to osintcss, building on Cavin Pabua's earlier work. Almost everything that makes the game play properly on L.O.S Farms comes from it.
What we use from Jade's work:
Saving your farm
- Farms, crops, animals, stored items, and consumables save and reload correctly.
- Every change to your farm is checked on the server and saved safely, so actions aren't lost or counted twice.
- Duplicate or stacked objects on farms were fixed and repaired.
- Cleared plots no longer keep old crop data after harvest.
Quests and rewards
- Quests save their progress and finish properly, including replayable quest chains and intro quests.
- Harvest, recipe, mastery, and bulk-equipment quest tasks count correctly.
- Harvest rewards, item-request rewards, and Gift Box rewards are given and saved.
Buildings and features
- Crafting cottages, recipe queues, and crafting silos work and save.
- Animal breeding pens, the Greenhouse, orchards, chicken coops, the Bloom Garden, and other feature buildings save and show the right state.
- Garage equipment, vehicle plowing, and bulk equipment (such as the Turbo Combine) work.
- Farm expansions and storage expansions can be bought.
Travel
- Travel between farms by level, Mistletoe Lane, and terrain for Jade Falls and Hawaiian Paradise.
- Each farm keeps its own currency and unlocks, and Hawaii uses its original coin prices.
- Market items stay on the farm they belong to.
Game client fixes
Jade patched the original Flash game client to fix crashes and blockers, including the Lonely Animal crash, market search for global items, Gopher Garden progress, empty travel farms, farm expansion errors, the Witcher Hut shadow, and the optional terrain grid.
Accounts and tools
- Discord sign-in and account linking, Discord bans, player save export, and admin save restore.
- Safe staff "view as player", XP and farm-size tools, crash reporting, and the performance dashboard.
- Security for game requests and uploads.
- The automatic setup that downloads the game's files from the Internet Archive.
Cavin Pabua
Cavin Pabua made the first commits this code grew from (March to April 2026), including the Market button patch and file mirror fixes.
FV-Replowed
FV-Replowed, "the definitive FarmVille 1 revival project", rebuilt the server that the original FarmVille client talks to. Everything above builds on it.

Archivists
Thanks to everyone who saved FarmVille's files before the shutdown and shared them on the Internet Archive. Without them there would be nothing to play.
