Tasks

**Tasks** are a gameplay element in Cattails, which was added in the v1.3 update. Tasks are small quests that the player can complete. Each colony has its own task board, however, the Custom Colony's task board must be placed using the Build Menu. The player can only use the task board from their colony.

A task can be performed by interacting with the board, then choosing to read and accept the current task. One new task will be available each day. The player has a deadline until midnight of the same day to complete each task. By completing tasks, the player can earn various items along with Task Tokens, which can be exchanged in the Task Board Shop for items, currency, experience, active skills, or coat colors.
