In short
Your first goal is to chop trees, sell the wood, and use that cash to buy better tools and processing machines.
When you first load in, trees are the easiest resource to grab. Cut them down with an axe, sell the lumber, and put that money toward mining tools and processing equipment. Once you have those, you can start turning raw materials into more valuable products before selling them.
- Get an axe you need one before you can chop a single tree.
- Chop the trees around you wood is your first reliable source of cash.
- Sell the lumber get money in your pocket before spending on anything else.
- Buy a pickaxe this opens up mining as a second income stream.
- Purchase a processing machine processed materials sell for more than raw ones.

Two main ways to earn money
TableIn short
Wood is the easier starting point, and both wood and ore can be processed before selling to increase their value.
Oaklands replaced its old Stock Market with Daily Material Values, so the worth of each material changes every day. Both wood and ore can be processed before selling to increase their value.
| Chopping trees | works with just an axe |
| Mining rocks and ores | requires a pickaxe |
| Processing before selling | adds value to both wood and ore, worth doing once machines are set up |
| Daily Material Values | the value of each material changes daily |

Exploring beyond the starting area
Tips
In short
Ferwater is the place to go once you want rarer materials, hidden shops, and tougher challenges.
Physical maps have been added around the world to help you navigate, and chat tips appear every three minutes with helpful reminders. Ferwater, reached by crossing the bridge from Finlay, holds more varied and valuable materials than the starting zone.
Tips worth knowing
- Cross the bridge from Finlay to reach Ferwater, which has rarer trees, rocks, and ores.
- Ferwater is split into distinct biomes — the Savanna, Desertlands, Frozen Desert, Desert Rift, and several cave systems, among others.
- Scorpions and frogs appear in Ferwater and can be caught for money.
- Ferwater has four shops: Illumine Designs, Fungi Finds, the Pirate Boat Shop, and Dugg's Digging — but they are spread far apart.
- Many walls in Ferwater are breakable; pick up explosives from the Pirate Boat Shop to open hidden areas.
- Fungi Finds is a secret shop hidden behind a breakable wall inside Uncertainty Cave — bring a bomb to reach it.
- Look for physical maps placed around the world when you get lost; a minimap is planned but not yet in the game.

Hidden quests and secrets worth knowing
Check
In short
Ferwater holds several quest items and secret locations that reward players who explore carefully and bring explosives.
Some of Ferwater's biggest rewards are hidden behind breakable walls or unmarked floors. Having at least a couple of explosives before you head into the caves saves a lot of backtracking.
- Skull Rock sits on top of a lone rock plateau the Skull quest item is behind a breakable floor inside it.
- Breaking that floor takes at least three low-tier explosives, so stock up first.
- Bring the Skull to the Magma Caves in Mike's Mines to turn it into the Burning Skull, part of the Emberbane Axe quest.
- The Desertlands Pedestal on the northern side of the savanna is used for the Uncertain Pickaxe and Adurite Key quests.
- Uncertainty Cave has multiple entrances the easiest exit is through the Desert Mines entrance near Illumine Designs.
- Blue glow worms appear on the walls inside the water cove in Mike's Mines and can be collected with jars for quick cash or decoration.
