Chatting with Farm Teams

ok so @Lynn_Walker-2 you click on the little icon to the right of the map icon and it will bring up this screen. To request a life, click the red heart request. To chat, hit the blue chat button and it will bring up the chat box. (Note it doesn't seem to have a cursor, at least on mine so you won't see anything until you type) and when players request lives it will come up in the same screen and if not full, you will be able to click on the button to send.

Hope this helps!
