Unlock

Strong Wind Storm Unlock

强风暴解锁

After the strong wind storm event fells the huge Cindersap Forest tree, interact with the stump to begin The Giant Stump quest and prepare the 100 Hardwood repair.

Repair

100 Hardwood Repair Route

100 硬木修复路线

Repairing the stump costs 100 Hardwood. The day after repair, the Raccoon moves in and starts the request chain.

Requests

First Raccoon Request

第一次浣熊请求

The first completed Raccoon request unlocks the Raccoon Wife shop, making it the real start of the barter economy.

Power Book

Second Request and Raccoon Journal

第二次请求与浣熊日记

The second request rewards the Raccoon Journal, a power book that increases the chance weeds yield Mixed Seeds or Mixed Flower Seeds.

Requests

Third and Fourth Request Route

第三与第四次请求路线

The third request introduces Dried Mushrooms and a secondary item, while the fourth request asks for Pickles and Juice. These requests unlock the Raccoon Hat and deeper shop trades.

Planning

Seven-Day Request Cadence

七天请求节奏

After each completed request, the next request appears after 7 days and is visually marked by family growth around the stump.

Achievement

Good Neighbors Achievement

好邻居成就

Complete 9 Raccoon requests to earn Good Neighbors and unlock a special sunny-day Cindersap Forest cutscene.

Shop

Raccoon Wife Shop Route

浣熊妻子商店路线

The Raccoon Wife shop starts with seed spot crop trades and expands as requests are completed, eventually tying into Foraging Mastery, Mystery Boxes, and rare late-game trades.

Giant Stump Prep Guides

Hardwood

Keep 100 Hardwood ready for the initial stump repair.

Secret Woods, Mahogany Trees, and tree-focused weeks make the unlock smoother.

Artisan machines

Have Dehydrator, Fish Smoker, Preserves Jars, and Kegs available.

Many Raccoon requests ask for dried, smoked, pickled, juiced, or preserved items.

Seasonal stock

Save current-season crops, forage, fish, mushrooms, eggs, cave items, and algae.

Requests usually match current or next-season availability.

Seed spot crops

Grow Carrot, Summer Squash, Broccoli, and Powdermelon for shipping, bundles, and request readiness.

These 1.6 crops also connect the Raccoon shop to seasonal crop planning.
