Getting your Farm Going
You are starting a new farm life on the Sunflower Islands. By raising crops and taking care of animals like cows and sheep, you can make money by producing farmed goods. You can create an income by putting these goods into the shipping box. Also, by talking with the other residents of the islands and becoming friends with them, you can create possibilities for new events. Getting New Islands to Surface In the course of the game, you may get items called "Sun Stones". Using the power of the Sun Stones, you can raise sunken islands from the deep. If new islands surface, you may be able to grow new crops, or gather mushrooms or ores. Time and Seasons Time passes automatically as the game progresses and the season will change every 30 days. The crops that can be grown change with the seasons, and different events are also held in each season. Spring This is the season for growing turnips and potatoes. The Sheep Festival and Horse Competition also take place in spring. Summer Summer is the season for growing tomatoes and onions. Events for this season include the Fireworks Festival and the Fishing Competition. Autumn You can grow eggplant and green peppers in autumn. The Pumpkin Festival also takes place, where you give treats to children. Winter With the snow that has accumulated on the islands, the Snow Festival is one of the festivals that happens in winter. None of the basic crops can be grown during this season. Stamina and Fullness (Hunger) You lose stamina while working on the farm. Also, if you work for a long time without eating, you will become hungry, which is indicated by a decrease in fullness. If you run out of stamina or become too hungry, you will not be able to do any more work for that day. Stamina is recovered by sleeping at home and hunger is reduced by eating food. Money and Shopping By putting produce from your farm into your shipping box, you can earn money. Produce can include any crops that you have grown or any products you collect from your cows, chickens or other animals. You can use your money to purchase new animals or seeds for new crops, upgrades for your farm or for shopping. Your goods to be shipped are collected every day at 5 p.m., and you will also be paid for them at this time. Any items put into the shipping box after 5 p.m. will be collected the next day. The Facilities on Your Farm There are a variety of facilities on your farm which will help you with your day to day activities. Try to learn the different functions of each facility. Also, through upgrading your farm, you can gain new facilities. Your House This is your house. Here you can do things like sleep to renew your stamina or check your calendar. The Field This is the place on your farm where you can grow crops. After tilling soil with your hoe, sow seeds to grow them. The Shipping Box You can earn money by putting crops or produce from your livestock into the shipping box. Shipments are collected at five o'clock in the evening and you will be paid for them at that time. The Pet Stable This is the place where you keep pets like your dog or horse. You can acquire pet through things like events. The Shed for Building Materials This is the place where building materials for upgrades are kept. You can keep wood and other materials here. The Place for Collecting Water This is the place where you can fill your watering can. When your watering can is empty, come here to fill it. Raising Animals You can raise a variety of animals on your farm. If you keep cows or chickens, they can produce milk or eggs that can be shipped. How to Raise Animals You need to feed your animals every day. Put enough animal feed in the feeding stations as needed to feed each animal. Also, animals like physical contact and the more they get, the higher their level of affection. To touch an animal, touch it with the touch pen or approach it and press the A button. Keeping Your Animals Healthy Your animals can be in one of three different conditions: healthy, unhappy or sick. When your animals are either unhappy or sick, they cannot produce any goods for you to ship. They may become unhappy if you neglect to feed them or pet them. Sick animals can be cured with (animal medicine), which is sold at the animal shop. The Main Animals You Can Raise Chickens Adult chickens will lay an egg every day. In order to raise chickens, you first need to build a chicken coop. Cows & Sheep You can get milk from grown cows and wool from grown sheep. In order to keep cows and sheep, you first need to build a barn. Pets Animals like dogs, cats and horses you can keep as pets. Although they do not produce any items you can ship, you can still enjoy playing games with them. [P.31] Mini Games If you touch an animal with the touch pen when there is a special icon over its head, you can play a mini-game. Aim to do well at them because getting good results can raise an animal's level of affection or give you produce from that animal. The Main Mini-Games Petting Game Pet the animal by sliding the touch pen. The more you pet it, the more its level of affection will increase. Milking Game Touch the button in time with the moving cursor. You can get either an large milk (L), a medium milk (M) or a small milk (S). Shearing Game Touch the sheep that are running around to shear them. The more animals you touch, the more wool you can get. ! Get Your Pets to Like You! You can get your pets to like you more by playing mini games with them. The more your pets like you, the better they will perform at yearly competitions. Getting on Good Terms with the Other Residents of the Islands If the other residents have a high level of trust in you, you may be able to experience new events. Also, during the progress of the game, new residents may come to the islands. Daily Conversations The most basic way to get on good terms with other characters is to talk to them every day. After finishing your farm work for the day, try to socialize with the other residents. Participating at festivals is another important way to mingle. Giving Gifts If you give a resident a present that really fits with his/her hobby or tastes, that resident's level of trust in you will increase a lot. You can judge a resident's likes and dislikes by monitoring his/her reaction to your present. Getting Married When talking to other residents of the islands, some characters may have a heart shaped symbol next to them to indicate their level of trust in you. Depending on how deeply that character trusts you, you may be able to marry that character. Be active in talking to the person you may be interested in marrying. Shops located on the Sunflower Islands These are the shops located on the Sunflower Islands. The items they sell vary according to season or game progress. Chen's General Store Seeds for crops, cooking supplies and furniture are some of the things sold here.

Also, if you are holding something you have grown on your farm or another food used as an ingredient in cooking above your head and you talk to the owner of the diner (Nicks), you might be taught a new recipe. Goran's Carpentry Shop Here you can commission upgrades for the various facilities on your farm or even have the wallpaper in your house changed. Also, hoes, axes and other tools you will need for your farming are sold here. Cafe Haira Cafe At this cafe, you can order drinks or light meals.
