In order to save the game currently, you must sleep at your sleeping bag.
This is the only way the game lets you save. Anything you do after you get up from your sleeping bag will not be saved if you leave the game. You should always end your play-through by sleeping and then quitting the game.

---

Nearly everything you do in the game requires the use of stamina/energy. You can regain stamina by eating food or sleeping to the next day.

1. Leveling your skills can decrease the amount of stamina used per action.
   
2. If you are nearly out of stamina, you will get a slow movement penalty.
   
3. If you run out of energy in a single player game you will pass out and be teleported to your tent and progress to the next day.
   
4. If you run out of stamina in a multiplayer game, you can be picked up by another player.
   
5. If you stay up till the end of the day, your stamina will be degraded to almost nothing, you can still progress and do things, but you will have almost no stamina pool, which can lead to you passing out or being killed by an aggressive animal. It's best to not let the day get to this point unless you are just doing some remedial tasks such as smelting/sawmill/etc.
   
6. You can increase your stamina by eating foods with the stamina buff. These buffs only last for the day until you sleep.

---

New Merchants will show up every other day on the designated pad. You can complete a task for them while they are visiting and must do so enough times to enable them to want to move into your town (Earn enough Hearts).

---

In order to unlock most deeds (new buildings), you have to complete a number of tasks from the Traveling NPCs. In some circumstances this may require you to have additional licenses to complete the tasks.

---

Building a new deed requires you to put in all the required construction material. After the material has been placed into the contained outside the deed, the building will complete in 1-2 days. You can sleep to fast track this process.

---

In order to level up hearts for each NPC in your town, you must complete tasks for them each day until you max out their hearts.

You earn 1/4th a heart upon completing a task for the specific NPC. It should be noted that you don't always earn a quarter heart with each quest turned in. In order to get a task from the NPC talk to them and select: I wanted to chat -> Need Anything?/Got a Job for Me?

When NPC's offer you to buy items, these will also give you completion towards another quarter heart, but as stated above, you don't always get a quarter heart per quest done, sometimes it takes 2x.

---

You cannot progress with Fletch's relationship until you complete her entry chain of quests. Once these quests are completed you can start asking for jobs from her daily.

In order to plant crops, Rayne must first visit your island. Once she visits you can buy 1 or 2 different crops that will grow during that seaons, a garden hoe, and a watering can. Once Rayne becomes a permanent resident, you can buy up to 1-4 different crops (season dependent).

• In order to farm you must purchase the Farming License from Fletch.
  
• You can only grow crops during the season they are allowed or they will die. Some crops can grow year round.
  
• If Animals spawn close to your crops, they will destroy them occasionally.
  
• Scarecrows can be crafted to keep the birds away from your crops.
  
• Your town NPCs will sometimes help water your crops before and after working hours.
  
• If it is raining, you do not need to water your crops.
  
• You cannot put down fertilizer after you plant a seed.
  
• Fertilizer reduces the total days needed to grow by x amount (TBC).
  
• Use a Scythe to harvest some of the crops, some of them you can just interact with (Like Tomatoes and Corn).
  
• If you don't water your crops, they won't die, they just won't reduce a day (or 2 days if you fertilize) off the growth days when you sleep.
  
• After some relationship gain Rayne will give you a Plant Book, which when used can tell you how long a plant has left to mature.
  

Crops Process:

1. Find the desired location to grow your crops, preferably near a water source or if you can build a well nearby.
   
2. With your garden hoe, plow the land.
   
3. If you have fertilizer available, now is the time to place it down, you cannot place it down after you put down the crop.
   
4. Place down the desired crop, ensuring that the crop can grow in your current season and it has ample time to grow before the season ends.
   
5. Water the crop every day.
   
   
6. After the required number of days to grow, harvest your crop by interacting or using a tool on it. It will sparkle when it is ready to be harvested.

Once you buy the next upgrade of your license, you will start to see small x's on the ground indicating a treasure is buried there. This is a useful way as you are out exploring to dig up a few additional treasures but is not as fast as using the metal detector in finding treasures in mass quantity.

• Barrel (contains random components)
  
• Box (contains even more random components)
  
• Amber
  
• Random Components

Unless you need to fish for a task from a NPC, don't waste time fishing until you have Theodore's Relationship maxed. I say this because you gain the Fish Book which easily lets you see where all the fish are around you and it makes it significantly easier to find specific fish or fish that sell for more.

1. In order to fish you must purchase the Fishing License from Fletch.
   
2. You must purchase a Fishing Pole from John.
   
3. Different fish appear in different biomes, use the map to tell what biomes you are in.
   
4. Some fish only appear in the morning, noon, or nighttime thresholds.
   
5. Some fish only appear during certain seasons.
   
6. With the Copper Fishing rod you can catch sharks.

How to Fish:

1. Find a fish, aim the best you can towards the fish and cast.
   
2. The fish, if close enough will approach the bobber.
   
3. Wait for the bobber to dip under the water with a "bloop" sound(This can take anywhere from 1-3 mini bits before they take the bait.) and hold left click down for 1-2 seconds.
   
4. The fish will immediately run away, DO NOT HOLD DOWN LEFT CLICK WHILE THE FISH IS STRUGGLING/RUNNING AWAY.
   
5. When the fish stops struggling, hold left click down until he starts to struggle again.
   
6. Repeat this process until you catch the fish.

How to make Fishing Easier:

• Get Max Rep with Theodore to get the Fish Book, makes finding specific fish a breeze.
  
• Upgrade your fishing pole to the copper fishing pole, it reels in slightly faster.
  
• For fish you already have caught at least once, use the Pedia page and click on the fish, the information will help remind you exactly where and when you can catch that fish.
  
• Make and use Wattle Brew (See the Food Buffs section) while fishing, it makes reeling in fish incredibly easy and wattle brew is really easy to make.

How to catch a Shark:

• Grab a copper fishing rod, cast near a shark and reel him in on land.
  
• The shark once reeled in will get a stun debuff for a short period, and have to hop back into the water giving you ample time to kill it.
