I have a farm pass task to have 3 visitors in my sanctuary.
I opened it, got a hippo, fed him, and have had 5 townies leave with the red circle over their head with line through it meaning I don't have a sanctuary. It is getting frustrating. How do I get my townies to recognize I have an animal? It my baby farm, level 57.

The red circle means you don’t have the animal they want to see when viewing the sanctuary.
Within the red circle you can see a small picture of the animal they want to see. If you do have the right animal there will just be a picture of the animal without the red circle.
So even before you start serving them you can tell by this red circle or lack thereof if the visitor will qualify or not. If you serve townies without the red circle it will work and register.

Also in the town hall lists, townies with a paw are ones that are looking to see an animal you have. I always make sure to get them taken care of for the extra rewards.  |

Yes, I had 5 saved for when I opened the sanctuary on my baby farm. Most townies showed a zebra head as they walked off. At level 57, expecting a zebra .. well... That is crazy. Guess I won't complete this 50 point farm pass task. Lol. |

It used to be any and all animals. I guess they changed it to particular animals which means it is a rare success for small farms. Oh well. Not going to worry about it. Will just ignore those farm pass tasks and hope I can complete it. If not, I won't buy the farm pass any more. |

That's poor planning on SC's part. I can see if it was something like fishing and you chose not to unlock it, but to base a farm pass task on something that is randomly awarded in the game is rough.
One task should not be a factor in completing the pass line by the end of the month.
I have a mini account that got it finished in Oct, and I didn't really try too hard to get it done, I missed quite a few dailies and some weeklies.

Plant 50 strawberries... nope. Lol. But glad to know that if I miss a 50 pointer I can still finish! That is very good news indeed! Thanks warios! |

Thank you, I couldn’t figure out why my paw print town people would just leave and not count towards the total a couple months ago. I will pay more attention to this. |

IDK, I don’t see any red circles or animals just a paw print. Not sure if this was my problem or not. |

thisistheway the townie will thought bubble the animal when you click on them to serve them. Either directly or though the town hall. So when they first arrive and you send them to their 1st building they'll thought bubble the animal (If you have the animal it'll just be it's headshot in that thought bubble, if you don't it will be that same headshot but it will have the red ring around it and a red line through it) Then when you collect from that and send them to their second they'll thought bubble it again Then same again if they're visiting 3 buildings. Then once you collect them from their final building they'll thought bubble it one final time If that animal they're thought bubbling is in your sanctuary they'll head over If it isn't they'll head home Fully served and off to see a giraffe;  If however I didn't have a giraffe it would look like this;

Will just ignore those farm pass tasks and hope I can complete it. If not, I won't buy the farm pass any more. hmm I do seem to recall that it has been this way since the very beginning when we just had the sanctuary and the townies wanted to see the sanctuary but no animals were in there yet and shortly after also some would ask to see the animal you didn’t have yet. Mind you I must say that on my main farm I played through the whole beginning of sanctuary animals and was already passed level 100 or so. So other then in the very beginning I haven’t had very many instances of a townie wanting an animal I didn’t have since those early days. You can certainly still reach the end of the farm pass road without a 50 point task. Especially if you do the daily tasks as much as possible. Remember early on in the farm pass the points are still lower and they increase as the weeks pass. Next week the weekly tasks will be worth 60 points and so on. Usually I reach the end of the farm pass road before the last week set of challenges are unlocked. So you can miss even more then 1. its only nov 4 and there are a lot of days left this month. If you let the train deliver a load twice a day or so maybe during the course of the month those townies with the right sanctuary animal will show up. The picture posted by bauldersgate shows what to look for. On my mini farm for which I don’t buy farm pass but do want to do the free road I try and have a few townies ready and served to go to the sanctuary since it is such a tricky challenge for a lower level. |

I hadn’t noticed this, great info. |

Very interesting, this thread. It's the first time I heard about a farmer having an issue with a farmpass task about serving a townie who attends to a special animal in sanctuary. But as kat stated I had never a problem with this task when it occurs, too. And luckily my babyfarms didn't happen to get this task. They were only supposed to feed the animals in sanctuary a couple of times. That was maneagable. greenleafDon't worry, let it go. It doesn't hurt. You have enough time to finish the farmpass path. Although I could deal with every task I'm fussy, though. I have not the nerve to do some things, for example planting long lasting crops. Furthermore I avoid for my babyfarms doing truck oders or ship. No way. I succeeded always before the farmpass ended.  |

Furthermore I avoid for my babyfarms doing truck oders or ship. No way. I succeeded always before the farmpass ended. I had the task on both farms. And today finished the baby farm with 1 little hippo. Like you I skip a lot of daily tasks for long plantings. Not worth tying my land up for 1 to 3 points! But I always did the weekly tasks to get the big point tasks. Glad to know I can skip 1! |
