A focused first hour

  1. Follow the opening tasks until you can till, plant and water a small crop patch. Plant early, then gather wood and stone while the crops advance on real-world timers.
  2. Do not clear the whole farm at once. Keep a short route between crops, water, workbenches and storage so daily work costs less stamina and walking time.
  3. Continue the tutorial tasks to unlock the Scythe, Pickaxe, Axe and Build Mode. A tool or station shown in the recipe list is not usable until its task and materials are available.

FHA orders and early currency

  1. Open the FHA Order Log on the phone every day. Regular orders exchange requested resources for Sil; check the displayed reward before committing scarce crops or crafted goods.
  2. Prioritise orders that fit crops already growing or materials gathered along your normal route. Reserve Craftcoin for task requirements before spending it on optional decoration.
  3. An active order can be discarded to free a slot, but its reward is lost. New orders are not issued while the Order Log is full, so clear completed entries promptly.

Crops, tools and crafting

  1. Crop growth uses real-world time. Water crops that require it, check their state before leaving, and use the waiting time for gathering, fishing, quests or village repairs.
  2. Higher-tier tools improve durability and the relevant farming benefit shown in their description. Upgrade the tool that removes the current bottleneck instead of replacing every tool at once.
  3. The phone's Collections app shows crafting ingredients. Check it before travelling back to a workbench, and keep one reserve stack of common wood, stone and crop ingredients.

Saving, storage and recovery

  1. The farm now saves automatically every few minutes and when you enter or leave it. Sleeping is no longer the only save point; allow an auto-save or farm transition to finish before closing the game.
  2. Use inventory sorting and unlock storage early. Chests become available after obtaining a Decorations Workbench, and the FHA Exams storyline awards a larger chest.
  3. If the larger chest reward was already missed, check the blue vending machine at the village entrance. The Unstuck option can recover movement outside Temple maps.

Current relationship and story limits

  1. Early Access includes the first half of the main story, the first 20 Temple rooms and 11 villagers. Friendship currently stops at level 3.
  2. Romance and the remaining friendship events are not available yet. They are planned for the full release, so do not spend time searching for a hidden trigger beyond the current cap.
