Version 16 route modules
14 guidesFestival
Desert Festival
沙漠节
Repair the Bus before Spring 15, bring Skull Cavern supplies, and decide whether Calico Eggs are going toward shops, fishing quests, or cavern depth rewards.
Mini Festival
Trout Derby
鳟鱼大赛
Bring bait, tackle, and fishing food; Golden Tags carry across days and years, so extra catches remain useful.
Mini Festival
SquidFest
鱿鱼节
Use fishing buffs and Beach time to hit each day's target; the counter resets between days, so plan both days separately.
Progression
Mastery Cave
精通洞穴
Reach level 10 in every skill, then spend mastery points deliberately: Farming, Fishing, Foraging, Mining, and Combat each change late-game routing.
Vendor
Bookseller
书商
Check the calendar early each season and keep gold available for rare books that support your build.
Progression
Books and Powers
书籍与能力
Read each power book once, use skill books for mastery planning, and trade duplicates when the Bookseller returns.
Combat
Trinkets and Anvil
饰品与铁砧
Claim Combat Mastery, farm monsters or Skull Cavern treasure rooms for trinkets, then reroll strong candidates on an Anvil with Iridium Bars.
Questline
Giant Stump and Raccoon Requests
巨树桩与浣熊请求
Stockpile Hardwood, crab pot fish, smoked fish, dried fruit, jelly, pickles, and seasonal goods before each seven-day request cycle.
Loot
Mystery Boxes
神秘盒
Treat Mystery Boxes as cross-system rewards: use luck, festivals, tree routes, and activity loops to build a steady supply.
Weather Event
Green Rain
绿雨
Use Green Rain as a resource day: gather Moss, clear large weeds for Foraging XP, and note villager schedule changes.
Farm Map
Meadowlands Farm
草原农场
Lean into animal friendship and early mayonnaise income while planning crop space around the map's ponds and meadow layout.
Crops
New 1.6 Crops
1.6 新作物
Track the new seasonal seed windows and save extra crops for remixed bundles, Raccoon requests, cooking, or shipping completion.
Equipment
Fish Smoker
熏鱼机
Prioritize it for fishing-heavy saves, Raccoon requests, and high-quality fish sales; keep Coal stocked.
Equipment
Big Chest
大型箱子
Upgrade high-traffic storage near the farmhouse, mines chest, fish chest, and Community Center prep chest first.
