The Basics

Before we get too deep, let's touch on some fundamental mechanics. You'll need to keep an eye on your settlers' Hunger and Thirst, as well as their Happiness. Making sure they're well-fed and content is key to a productive village. Don't forget about Research, which unlocks new technologies and buildings, and Meals, which are crucial for keeping everyone happy and fed. Settlers are your workforce, so managing them efficiently is vital. And of course, Animals can provide valuable resources!

Islands

Havendock features several islands, each with its own unique resources and opportunities. You'll want to explore:

• Astro Island
• Bird Island
• Cow Island: This is where you'll find cows to get milk.
• Fishing Island: Essential for, you guessed it, fishing!
• Moon Island: You can purchase cotton seeds here from the trader.
• Wizard Island (DLC): If you have the DLC, this island offers unique content.

You'll also be using Boats to travel between these islands, so make sure to keep them in good repair!

Buildings

Constructing the right buildings is crucial for your village's success. Here's a rundown of the categories:

• Animal Buildings: For housing and managing your livestock.
• Base: Core structures for your settlement.
• Crafting: Where you'll process raw materials into useful items.
• Decor: To boost happiness and aesthetics.
• Food: Buildings dedicated to producing and preparing food.
• Magic: For mystical advancements and structures.
• Oil and Energy: Essential for powering your settlement.
• People: Buildings related to settler management and housing.
• Underwater: Structures built beneath the waves.

Q&A

Here are some common questions and their answers:

• How do I obtain cotton?
  You can get cotton by setting up scavenging tents for your settlers to collect. Alternatively, once your boat is upgraded, you can buy cotton seeds from the trader on Moon Island. Just remember, you'll need to keep buying seeds as there's no other way to get a steady supply.
• How do I insert materials/obtain output from farms, cookhouses etc. without opening the GUI?
  Use Shift+right-click to place materials into a building, and Ctrl+right-click to extract outputs (like milk from barns). Super handy for saving time!
• How do I get milk?
  You can buy cows from the farmer on Cow Island. Then, build Barns for them, which will act as both the input and output for milk production.
• What is the desert island with the person stuck in the smelter?
  That island is still under development by the devs, so you can safely ignore it for now.

That covers the essentials for the Coastal Village! Keep these tips in mind, and you'll be thriving in no time. Happy building!
