Caves and village progress
Village Ideas and Progression
Village ideas turn discoveries and collected goods into new systems, buildings, and access to further goals.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Village Ideas and Progression
Village Idea board and the clan members or prompts that accept contributions and requests.
Before you go
- Access to village idea progression and its active board or prompts.
- A specific active contribution, request, or unlock target.
- Time and inventory space to gather the item from its source.
- Any prerequisite idea or cave access needed for the selected target.
Farming steps
- Review the available ideas and requests and identify a reward or system you want to unlock.
- Read the required item and quantity shown in game before gathering.
- Identify the source: seasonal crop, wild seed, fish habitat, cave chamber, or animal product.
- Prepare the relevant tool, season, habitat access, or animal care before leaving.
- Collect the requested item and keep it separate from general surplus.
- Return to the named villager or Idea prompt and submit the item.
- Check the board again and use any newly available building, recipe, or access option.
- Prioritize an unlock that opens a source you need, such as the Plant Nursery for discovered seed restocking.
- Reserve a first crop sample or first useful catch before turning in or consuming surplus.
Repeat, collect and use
Idea and contribution goals vary. Completing an individual unlock is a one-time progression step; gathering requested materials can repeat for other active goals.
Common mistakes
- Gathering before checking the exact request: verify the item in game first.
- Turning in a similar but incorrect resource: match the named item precisely.
- Ignoring prerequisites: open the required idea or route before farming a gated reward.
When to stop or switch
Stop once the selected idea or request is completed and its reward is confirmed; choose the next board goal based on the source or system you need next.
