Version 16 route modules

14 guides

Festival

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.
