Hi! I just want to point out that unfortunately, the zooming-out trick no longer works. 😭 It was patched when the game released.

Thanks for the video! I'm glad I wasn't the only one searching for clay for a while. An extra little tip I found is that once you've opened a loot chest, you can pick it up by holding R and take it home to use for storage so no need to craft more of them!

Playing this feels like a stardew valley meets pokemon and zelda. Love this so much. The graphics are so adorable. ❤

Another tip that wasn't mentioned here. Try and get a glider asap. You get the recipe fairly early and it's worth the moonstones it takes

[MiguiMonkey]

I LOOVEEE card games like Slay the Spire, Monster Train and Roguebook! Deckbuilder and farming are two things I did not expect to see together <3 Another one to add on my wishlist!

Thank you for this video! That thing about forgetting about the medallion made me giggle though, lol.

I’m a bit late as I just got this game and you may have mentioned them since, but I found that the statue where you get the return flute can be right clicked daily, marking it sparkle. It’ll give you an item where the flute was the day after. I also got some spirits with useful other abilities, like the eevee one increases your social chances by 5% and the apple worm one cuts grass it goes over. I forgot their names.

This game looks so complicated but also super cute 😅

[sproutygamerreads]

Is there a way to get rid of a hoed spot?

[lizzmann]

Do you know if there's a way to get the map to zoom out (hunting for moonstones!) with the gamepad/controller? I prefer a controller, and I couldn't get the way you described for mouse and keyboard to work (holding ctrl and scrolling just cycled through inventory).

[person]

For anyone posting that the control + mouse wheel doesn't work for zooming out - pretty sure that was a dev tool as the early access people actually got was the beta version of the game. That command never worked with the official release version.

[somefreakingbird]

I can't zoom out to see the whole island, it just switches what item i'm holding is there a way to change this?

[thescribblequeen]

I'm SO looking forward to this game. It looks adorable, and the monsters look so unusual, so I'm sure there will be a lot of fun surprises along the way. Thanks for the tips in advance: honestly, I would never have thought that Earth monsters would be where you'd get clay, either. It's kind of a hilarious detail, though!
