Developer Q&A

## Q&A with Peter Curleytail (Part 1) June 5, 2023

**How does teaching the dog work / How to raise the dog's level?**

Grab a stick and hold it in your hand. The dog should run up to you shortly, then throw it so the dog will start playing fetch with you! You should see the level indicator above your friend’s head go up. Keep playing with your dog until the indicator fills all the way up!

**How does teaching the cat work / How to raise the cat's level?**

First, you need to find a Cat Toy. Take a closer look around the farmhouse; it should be near! Once you find the toy, simply equip it and wait for the cat to run over to you. Your orange friend should spot the toy and start following it. Now take a closer look at your surroundings; you should see a hoop; if you cannot see it, look underneath your feet; there’s a small yellow arrow indicating the ring's location. Now to the fun part - you need to run up to the hoop and make the cat jump through it! To do so, use the “E” button, or left-click; if the cat is close to the Cat Toy, it will jump up, trying to catch it! Be precise with putting the Toy up near the hoop, and the cat will make the jump! Repeat this process until your pet makes all five jumps. Make sure to pay attention to the time limit!

**Where can I find the old scarf?**

Look for something blue around the Grandparent’s house!

**How to repair a bridge?**

Two types of bridges can be repaired with wood, and the other needs nails. If you follow the questlines your Grandparents gave you, you will unlock the necessary nails!

**How to get nails?**

Make sure to follow the quests, and you will unlock them! They may have something to do with a fishing competition that your Grandpa will hold!

**Where do I find bees?**

Head southwest, and you’ll find a bridge that needs to be repaired with wood. After you pass the bridge, you’ll find that rocks are blocking a path and… the bees you’re looking for! So take out your net and start catching them!

**How to find Willow?**

Find two things in your inventory - dog treats and Willow’s Bell! Grab the dog treat and feed your precious pet with it, then hold Willow’s Bell and let the dog sniff it; you should see a question mark above its head. Now follow the dog; it will bring you to the cow!

**Where can I find fireflies?**

Fireflies appear only in the evening; try looking for them after 9:00 PM. The best spot to catch them is the entrance to the farm, right where you first started your adventure. There are no wolves there, so don’t be scared! Once you see the fireflies grab your net and start catching them!

**My animals are hungry, what do I do? How do I feed animals?**

There are two ways of feeding your animals. The first one is making sure your animals have enough fresh grass around them. You can let them out of the enclosures you’ve made for them or plant more fresh grass in their spaces.

The second way is bringing your pets Hay Cubes, which you can craft at the Workbench.

**How to craft a hay cube?**

To craft a hay cube you’ll need to have hay in your inventory, then head over to the Workbench and you should find an option to craft it!

**How to get more hay?**

Take out your sword and start cutting some of the fresh grass around you. Some of it should go to your inventory. Grab the freshly cut grass and bring it over to a drying rack, load it up and wait until the grass becomes dry.

**How to make a drying rack?**

Make sure to follow the quests with Willow! They should unlock the Drying Rack for you. Once you unlock it, head over to the workbench and look it up, it should appear on the list of things you can craft!

## Q&A with Peter Curleytail (Part 3) June 19, 2023

**Why do some chicken names disappear by themselves after a few days?**

This was an issue, and the team has already resolved it! Your chicken’s names should stay in place now.

**Why do the chickens wander off outside the farm when there are grass and hay bales around?**

Maybe the dog accidentally chased them away? Perhaps it was raining and they were looking for a place to hide? Or they just wanted to go for a walk, they are living animals after all… :)

**What does the total of chicken number mean?** For example, it may display Total number of chicken: 12, but the total number in coop is 9. But i don't have any other chicken icons on my map.

Trust us - there are 3 more chickens somewhere on the map! :)

**How near or how far apart must the chicken perches be spaced to register as legitimate perches?**

There is no special distance. It has to be just big enough so that the chicken is able to squeeze into the perch.

**Why does Grandma get stuck in the animal pens that she managed to get into?**

Check if your fence has any holes in it! If so, then fix it, and this should not be happening :)

**What do ducks eat other than snails?**

Ducks like to munch on some grass too!

**Why did my trained dog run to the northern island when i went to find the entertaining goats?**

Perhaps you took a strange route through for example some rocks, which the dog couldn’t climb? Our friend might get lost sometimes, when he cannot find a safe path to go through.

**Are there specific fishing spots? Or we can only catch fish at the pond for the fishing contest?**

In some of the spots you can see the fish in the water. This means it’s a great place to catch them!

**How do I ride a horse?**

You need to win a Horse Race Dream! This will unlock a Saddle, which you’ll be able to purchase from the Merchant.

**How do we select one unit of an item/vegetable?**

There’s no such feature yet, but we’ve added it to our suggestions list!

**How do I know when crops need to be watered?**

Once getting close to the crops, you’ll spot a blue water drop, which means it’s time to water your plants.

**How do I know when crops are fully watered?**

Start watering your crops, and you’ll notice that the blue water drop mentioned above will disappear. Now your crops can happily grow further!

**How often can I collect animal products, such as wool, milk and eggs?**

Each animal produces their own product every three days, so make sure to pay them a visit regularly.

**Where do my items go when my inventory is full? Are they lost for good?**

No worries, if your inventory becomes full, then all of the new, collected items will appear in your storage box! You can find it at the barn on your Grandparent’s farm.

**Can my storage box fill all the way up?**

Nope! The box has unlimited space, once it gets ‘full’, it will expand with additional slots.

**I cannot find the Strawberry and Pumpkin seeds to plant them in order to proceed with my quests. What should I do?**

Simply grab the Strawberries and Pumpkin and plant them. They will grow and give you even more delicious crops.

**How do I grow trees in the nursery?**

Build the nursery close to the tree that you want to grow. It will grow a baby one over time! :)

Just watch out to not to put it too close to a bush, because that’s what will grow in it. Oh, and remember to water your trees too.

**How can I sell my animals?**

Take a trip to the Merchant, and see what’s there on the list to sell. You can look at the backside of his cart to check it. If you want to sell ducks make sure to follow the quests to unlock a plaque with them, this will unlock the ability to hand them over to the Merchant.

**Will other platforms receive the Steam updates?**

Yes, Oink! I’ve heard that the team is working on them, and they all should be appearing soon. Please keep in mind that some of the platforms have a whole submission process, meaning that the updates need to be verified first.
