Keep an Eye on your Resources

Keep an Eye on your Resources

Resources

When you first dive into the game you’re confronted with a bunch of numbers and bars which correspond to various resources. You’ll get used to these after a while, but they can be a bit confusing at first. The three resources you need to worry about are as follows:

  • Coins: These are the main form of currency you’ll be using to purchase plants, animals and buildings. Coins are important for expanding your settlement.
  • Gems: These are the little purple ones. The Gems are the premium currency that is available for purchase if you want it. It lets you skip the waiting time for your actions so you can do things faster.
  • Love/Happiness: This meter fills up depending on how happy the character is. Fill up the bar by giving the settler what they want. Once this bar fills up, you’ll be rewarded with gems, coins and experience.

Upgrade the Docks

This one isn’t so obvious, but upgrading the docks as soon as possible really helps you out in the long run. Upgraded docks mean you can trade with the NPCs more often and be able to get some pretty rare items. Make sure to trade for any items that give you materials to make treehouses and other gear.

Use your Coins Wisely

It may seem tempting to spend coins on everything, but that 10 gold you spend per square to build a road between buildings is going help a lot more later on in the game when some items can cost up to 2,500 coins. It's a good idea to keep hold of them and only spend them on vital buildings and additions to your island.
