How to Play Run A Farm With Friends
Run A Farm! servers hold up to 6 players, so getting into the same session as a friend is simple. How to join each other in one server and what you can each do once you're in.
Quick answer
You play Run A Farm! with a friend by getting into the same server. Every server holds a maximum of 6 players, so once you are both in one, you are automatically in the same session. Playing together happens in the normal game, where each of you builds and runs your own farm side by side.
- Run A Farm! servers cap at 6 players, so a shared server is a shared session.
- Friend play is officially promoted - the game's own description says: 'Climb the leaderboards and build your dream farm with friends!'
- Each player runs their own farm; what you can specifically do on a friend's farm is not spelled out in the game's description.
Getting into the same server as your friend
Run A Farm! is a standard Roblox experience from Farm CStudios - a simulation/tycoon where you grow one chicken coop into a full farm with crops, tractors, delivery trucks and a mine, hiring workers to automate it all. It runs on small, standard public servers: the Roblox games API lists the experience with maxPlayers: 6, and no special server types appear in that data. That small cap works in your favor. There is no huge lobby to get lost in - if you and your friend are in the same server, you are genuinely in the same session, farming in the same world rather than separate instances.
To meet up, use Roblox's standard friend-joining, which works across experiences:
- One of you launches Run A Farm! and loads into a server.
- The other opens their Roblox Friends list (or the friend's profile) and picks the Join option while the friend is playing.
- You load into the same server and start your farms side by side.
The only snag is capacity: with six slots per server, a full server cannot take another player, so a Join attempt occasionally drops you somewhere else. If that happens, give it a minute and try again.
What you and your friend each do in a session
Once you are both in, each of you runs your own farm. Per the game's official description, the session loop looks like this:
- Collect eggs and sell them at your stand
- Plant crops and harvest them with tractors
- Drive trucks to town to sell goods
- Dig for ore in your own mine
- Hire workers to run the farm for you
- Buy new vehicles
The phrasing matters: these are each player's own activities - your stand, your trucks, your mine. Your friend in the same server is working through the same loop on their own farm, so think of playing together as growing two farms in parallel rather than co-managing one. If you are both starting from scratch, the Run A Farm beginner guide covers the early game, and grabbing current freebies from the Run A Farm codes page before you start never hurts.
What "with friends" actually covers
Friend play is not a hidden feature - it is part of the official pitch. The game's own description closes with "Climb the leaderboards and build your dream farm with friends!", so building up your farms alongside each other is a designed part of the experience.
The fine print is thinner, though. The documented material does not specify what you can do on a friend's farm: whether visiting, trading or co-running a single farm is possible is not spelled out anywhere in the game's description. What is documented is the model above - same server, each player with their own farm. Treat anything beyond that as unconfirmed until you see it in game, rather than promising a friend a shared farm the game has not advertised.
Climbing the leaderboards together
Leaderboards are the competitive thread running through the whole game, and the official description ties them directly to friend play - the pitch is to climb them together. Since everyone in your server is working the same egg-crop-truck-mine loop, a shared session turns progression into a friendly rivalry as the boards move with your farms.
