Sow Seeds
When you obtain seeds, sow them in your home soil, and wait patiently for growth. Each variety blooms at its own pace, but they all through four stages. Flower Seedling, flower stem, flower bud, and flower plant. Reaching stage four means maturity.


Water
Water is life's source. Naturally, all plants need water. Watering immature plants accelerates their growth once daily. Watering mature plants grants them a chance for crossbreed once daily. More people watering increases the plants'crossbreed chance. Try observing sparkling water droplets after watering. The brighter they shine, the more likely crossbreed will happen. Also, gardeners can slack off on rainy days. Mother Nature's doing the work for you.


Crossbreed
Mature plants continuously crossbreed, producing offspring. During this process, there's a chance of new breeds or new colors emerging. But sunglow or selene flowers cannot be crossbred. For other colors, remember four elements- mature plants, same breed, adjacent placement, and watering. Check back tomorrow, you might be surprised what's sprouted up overnight. Good luck.

1.4 Friends of the Bird Ringing Station

Welcome every birdwatching lover willing to get close to and protect nature to consult.


Birdwatching Guidelines
Start by readying your scanner and searching for signs of the birds you wish to observe. Remember, approaching too closely can frighten them into flight. Each species varies in sensitivity, so trying to maintain a safe distance will make things easier. Also, knowing the habitats of different bird species makes spotting them much easier. Seagulls flock to the seaside, cormorants perch on island reefs, Storks wade along shorelines, and raptors like falcons and owls survey from heights... And some species only emerge during specific weather conditions.


Birds' actions
At different times, or under different weather conditions, birds will have different behaviors. While most birds sleep at night, nocturnal raptors-owl-remain active at night. When your birdwatching hobby reaches a certain level and unlocks the Catching Action, the scanner can then identify bird behaviors. If you capture a bird's action, you'll get extra photo score.


Perch and bird food
Placing Perches in your home has a chance to attract familiar birds to visit. So please work hard to unlock more bird collections. By the way, different birds prefer different types of perches. You won't see a wigeon balancing on a wooden pole, right? If you find no birds have visited for a long time, perhaps you can try placing some bird food.


Bailey J's research
Submit the bird photos you captured to Bailey J, and she will give you a small gift in return. This is to thank you for your contribution to the Bird Ringing Station's research. Occasionally, Bailey J even shares some valuable bird food!

1.5 Realmipedia: Properties & Resources

Curious about how to gather plentiful resources? This book could be your guide.


Chapter 1: fruits
In the east of the island, apple trees yield sweet apples, while in the west, mandarin trees offer tangy mandarins. Blueberry Bushes are widespread, but the crystal-clear raspberries are exclusive to western bushes. Chop Trees or harvest bushes for corresponding fruits. Consuming fruits raw restores energy, or you can use them to create delightful dishes.


Chapter 2: bushes
Bushes are common in town suburbs. They're green or yellow-green, round, and some even have followers, making them easy to spot. Collecting in the bushes will yield branches, but also a chance of finding blueberries, raspberries, and more.


Chapter 3: timber
Whale Island is lush with vegetation. The eastern Forest has toweering conifers, while the north features uniquely shaped palms. Low, verdant fan palms can be found in the west, and the south boasts lush and sturdy oaks. Near the town, there are also many straight and upright white birches. These trees are main sources of timber for daily needs, which you can collect using pickaxe. However, logging has its principles. After gathering, you also need to give the trees some time to rest. Also, there's a mysterious traveler, "Oak-Oak". It loves to travel but frequently becomes entangled in the abundant oak roots. Due to its size, managing it alone is quite a challenge... It's known to enjoy visiting D.G. Members' homes, often making appearances nearby. If you spot it in need of assistance, extend a helping hand! You might even be rewarded with the rare Roaming Oak timber!


Chapter 4: ores
The plains of Whale Island are dotted with ores- light gray ones provide stone, while black ones yield iron ores. You can also use the pickaxe to mine for corresponding ores from mineral resources. However, there's one ore that stands out- the night-glowing flawless fluorite. It's both beautiful and elusive, with its discovery remaining a mystery. Rumor has it that the fluorite mine, much like oak-oak, appears in various locations. But, I've never heard of any walking mines, could it be... If you find flawless fluorites, remember to give them a quick tap. Then, take a closer look, might discover something!

1.6 Insect-Catching Notes

Use Insect Catching Notes for an insect catching adventure!


Insect Catching Tips
To control the direction of the insect catching bubble, pay more attention to the direction of the arrow in front of you. If the arrow is blocked by terrain, it means the bubble can only fly that far. Holding to charge the bubble up makes it fly faster and farther. Of course, improving your hobby level will also enhance your insect catching skills. Remember to keep your distance from the insects when catching. Getting too close can scare the insects away, making them harder to catch. Some sensitive insects might even dart off instantly. Additionally, some insects are very good at hiding. If you detect movement in the bushes, try scaring the little critter out first.


Insect Catching Hints
Each Insect has its preferred habitat. Some Insects only appear at specific times or in certain weather. Note that morpho helenas and praying mantises only show up in special weather conditions!

1.7 Cat Caring Catalog

These are insights from an anonymous cat owner. All cat owners are welcome to consult and share their thoughts.


Kittens at Pet's Home
When Mrs. Joan's friends have to travel, they leave their kitties at the Pet's Home. Sometimes, these kitties take a liking to each other, leading to new kitties. Suitable adopters take home their chosen kitties... So the kitties at the Pet's Home change daily. They come in various breeds, fur colors, patterns, eyes, and pupil colors. It's rare to see two identical cats. Beyond their looks, they have unique personalities- some are affectionate, others more independet... Their personalities shape their behavior and how they interact. Consider which personality suits you, or maybe you'll adapt to theirs.


Pet appropriately
Try approaching the cats, extend a gentle hand, and pet them softly. Cats with different personalities will give different reactions. Some kitties need their own space and dislike being approached too frequently; while others don't mind being disturbed at all, welcoming closeness around the clock. Regardless of temperament, gentle petting at the right moment is your simplest way to show affection.


Provide nutritious food
Cat food, fresh fish, grain fiber, and some cooked dishes can all be fed to the kitties. Different foods may offer different nutritional values. Of course, each kitty has its own preferences. So what do yours enjoy?


Play with kitties
Grab the cat teaser and play with the kitty! Wave the cat teaser and guide the kitty to make various cute actions. After the kitty masters a certain action, you might, at an unexpected moment, see it perform that cute action! You can take a photo to commemorate it. Just remember that playtime drains their energy. Wait for it to slowly regain energy... or, feed it a bag of fish jerky.


Gifts for each other
The kitties living in the town follow a charming tradition. They'll bring you little gifts as thanks for your kindness occasionally. According to Mrs. Joan, these are special gifts prepared just for you in the kitty kingdom. It seems kitties with higher growth have stronger exploration abilities. Because they always bring you better gifts. By the way, you can also prepare some return gifts, like buying a few suitable cat costumes from the Pet's Home.



2. Town Guide I

Town Guide I - Heartopia
📖

Town Guide I

The most basic town daily life tutorial, a must-read for town residents.


Tool Durability and repair
Each Tool in the toolbox has durability. When Durability reaches zero, that tool becomes temporarily unusable. Repair Kits can restore a tool’s durability. Place the repair kit on a flat, empty ground, then hold the tool requiring durability restored and approach it. The Tool will slowly be repaired. To create the simplest repair kit, all you need is a few branches. If you are too lazy to make one, you can purchase them from Ka Ching, the general goods merchant.


Energy
You need enough energy to do various activities, such as collecting, fishing, catching insects... As your energy depletes, you'll start to feel weary, and eventually, even running will seem like a daunting task. At that point, you can eat some food to restore energy. If you don't bring any food with you, collecting a few blueberries from the bushes is a quick fix.


Dye
The Furniture Dye used in the town was developed by Bob during his spare time, using town flowers and special coagulant. When dyeing the furniture, each part of the furniture requires one portion of dye. Dyes can be purchased from Ka Ching, the general goods merchant. But one thing to note: Dyes cannot be used on custom furniture from the Furniture Store.

About Developer’s Guild - Heartopia
📖

About Developer’s Guild

The Developer's Guild was established by the first Mayor of the town, and is responsible for the operation and development of the entire island's public affairs.


Developer's Guild
Currently, the most important roles of the Developer's Guild are the developers. As well as Atara, the third president, and Annie, the town guide. Within the Guild, Annie manages "Basic Livelihood Support," and Atara focuses on "Development" projects. Both of them are the very soul and core of the Guild, dedicating themselves to promoting the town's development and improving town residents' lives. The Guild branches into specialized departments: the Developer's Club, guards, and Archaeological Society EPA, Construction Department, Department of Mystical Affairs— each serving the community in its own way. Whether they are visible to the public or not.


Wishing Star
Wishing Stars are issued by the Guild. They can be used to exchange for various expert items, custom-made by the Guild, in stores like the Clothing Store and Furniture Store. Due to their complex craftsmanship and high costs, they are generally only gifted to those who have made outstanding contributions to the town. D.G. Members can complete resident requests to obtain wishing stars. These are town residents who, after receiving help, spontaneously express their gratitude to the D.G. Member. If you want to obtain more wishing stars, please work hard to complete more resident requests.


D.G. Member Level
Increasing D.G. Member Level can make life in the town more convenient and interesting. But this requires enough contribution medals. Contribution Medals can be obtained through completing resident requests. In addition, increasing your D.G. Member Level may also require completing some assessment quests from the Guild. Or paying some handling fees... After all, the Guild needs funds for daily operations.

Atara’s Diary

Scribble casually, write down whenever something comes to you.

Hmm, as for capturing beautiful moments with a camera... It’s an art that demands focus and dedication from the photographer. When things get too hectic, it’s best to let the little moles handle it, don’t you think? Haha!

Annie’s Essays

The records cover various aspects of the town, visible only to the clever.


About the second president
The second president of the Developer's Guild was a research fanatic. He was always shrouded in mystery and closely tied to the enigmatic Moabit. Thanks to him, the Guild forged a long-standing, stable partnership with Moabit. A relationship that continues without the need for the current president's involvement. ...Later? Later... one day... he disappeared. Perhaps he moved to the world of the little moles, or found a place better suited to his research.


About the titles
Why set titles? Hmm, this is actually a tradition of the Guild... It began as a whimsical practice of the illustrious second president. He once proudly declared himself the person who understands moles and stars best in the world. Later, for some reason... he vanished without a trace. To honor him, this practice became customary and was carried on by those who followed. It's said that in the past, Guild members who didn't know each other well typically used titles instead of names. Nowadays, the town residents are quite friendly, so addressing each other by name is perfectly acceptable. As for how to obtain more titles... Improving your hobbies, exploring more town stories... There are plenty of methods.

Memoirs Through a Lens

"Today the city was very bright. I saw many citizens gathering in the square. We must maintain this peace for the future of Heartopia. The old key is still hidden behind the clock tower..."


Photography Essentials
Step one in photography: own your own camera. Don't have a camera? Head over to the Town Hall and get one from Atara. The Camera is as crucial as a toolbox, an essential item for experiencing town life.


Town Photography Basics
When taking a photo, stay relaxed and don't let nerves make you freeze. Outstanding town Photographers will move around, finding the best angle. Photos taken will be saved in the album on your watch. Not everyone enjoys having people in their pictures. If you prefer capturing landscapes, try using the first-person view.


Scenic Spot Recommendations
A subtle nook within your own home, or perhaps your thoughtfully organized living room and bedroom.

Albert's Work Log

Confidential records of the Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild... Just kidding, it's merely about some work routines.

Lately, the Merchant Guild has been bombarded with countless request orders from town residents, and it's truly overwhelming. Hehe, but I came up with a brilliant plan. By distributing these extra requests to D.G. Members daily, everyone can earn rewards. And I can free up some time to continue researching rockets! I discussed this with Atara, and the Guild was quite supportive, even providing wishing stars and contribution medals for each request!


11. Town Tales I

Town Tales I - Heartopia
📖

Town Tales I

Town legends are true- as long as you believe they are true!


Oak-Oak the adventurer
No one knows oak-oak's age or if it's a native town resident... But these don't matter, everyone agrees it's a brave adventurer! It has a great dream of exploring the entire world! Sadly, it has always been trapped by its own hard-to-resist nature, bound by roots, unable to venture too far. But- "If one persists, who can say the outcome is unchangeable?" However, if passersby are willing to give it a hand, it will gladly reward them with Roaming Oak timber. Roaming Oak Timber is incredibly useful!


Fluorite with feet
In the town-or rather, beneath it-there's a charming group of little moles who are part of the Moabit. Only the second Mayor truly understood their situation, but he vanished long ago. Despite this, these diligent little moles carry on their work. Why, you ask? Because they keenly observe and document everything happening in the town. If you take a stroll around Onsen Mountain or near the D.G. Member's Homes, you might spot a fluorite on the move. That's actually a little mole in disguise!


Astralis and Whaltune
Legend has it that long before the Astralis became the Astralis, it liked to fly on adventures all over the world. One day, it flew over a Flower Field, enchanted by the beauty of the blooms, and eagerly gathered a spray of flower waves for itself to enjoy. But in its excitement, it flew too fast. Bang! It collided with an island spirit it didn't know at the time, covering it with petals. Luckily, the island spirit found this romantic, and thus began a friendship with the Astralis. Curious who that spirit was? It was Whaltune, the guardian of Whale Island where the town is located.

Silesia's Note

Not exactly research notes. (signed "silesia Friedrich von Jaspers")

The town's Magnetic Field possesses an enchanting quality, almost like a rule of the world.

Some things are beyond words or even comprehension. Sensing even the faintest trace of them invites the influence of the world's power.

Li Zhen is temporarily unaffected, because she isn't very interested in such things ... Or perhaps it's not that she's uninterested, just that she knows it cannot be changed for now.

And thus she remains untroubled. Maybe she sees the clearest of all.

A lucky one Favored by the Astralis? Interesting.

The Astralis itself is a wondrous existence, those it selects may also receive extraordinary abilities. Event if such an ability is only relative.

For instance, they might prosses a unique energy field that materializes when they are in this place...What do they call it? oh, home.

It's not a bad notion, akin to "Feeling at home wherever one is "...Right?
