Helpful Things for New Players
General Tips
- Make sure to upgrade your tools for easier and quicker gathering of materials.
- Don’t just jump biomes without some tool prep, otherwise gathering new biome items like Wood is gonna be a pain.
- Find the farm/town crystals around the farm and town and add them to the pedestals on the beach to unlock a treasure room, you get a luma egg too.
- If you’re an archealogist, the items you will lose appear obviously on screen, but the game is very forgiving. It’s why that profession is considered the most difficult.
- If you ever need to know what you need for a craft, keep on the crafting recipe and it’ll cycle through the items.
- When you buy the fence blueprints they also come with the gate blueprints.
- If you leave a torch in the mines and walk over it again it will light up!
