The day resets at 11:00 PM PST

That's 0 hr 0 min 0 sec until the reset.

At this time both the map's resource availability and the friend gifting limit are refreshed. This is also when you receive your new daily rewards.

Example use cases:

I couldn't carry anymore Friendship Blossoms. I had until the reset to use one and collect it.

I only have 15min until the reset. I'll just grab some coconuts, cactus cream and fizzy ore while running with Pekkles.

Using Mailboxes for Fast Travel

After you've found and activated mailboxes, they serve as convenient fast travel points. You can activate them by tapping the mini-map, selecting the desired mailbox, and then choosing "Let's go." This process is particularly user-friendly on mobile devices, as you can directly tap the mailboxes on the map to select it.

Example use cases:

I got lost far inside the mine today, so I tapped my mini-map and selected somewhere to fast travel outta there!

I scouted a coconut at one of its spawn locations today, so I ran over to grab it then teleported to Chococat and continued gathering.

Companion Abilities

You're likely aware of how each companion has usesful abilities. For instance, Hello Kitty provides a 10% friendship boost when gifting, and Chococat can generate an extra item during crafting. Instead of dismissing your current companion and then engaging with a new one, simply interact with the new companion directly, and your current companion will automatically dismiss themselves.

Example use cases:

I only have 4 coconuts, and both Keroppi and Hangyodon need 1 each for their 3-heart gift. That's 6 coconuts so I'll use Chococat and maybe get lucky. I'll run and get Hello Kitty before gifting to get even more value from my limited resources.

Using the Friends Apple

The Friends application is a valuable tool for accessing information about your friends. Additionally, it provides indicators in the top left corner to alert you if there are any gifts to be given.

Example use cases:

I wasn't sure who I still needed to give gifts to today, so I opened up the Friends Application and checked at a glance!

I used the Friends Application to check what abilities Hello Kitty had and at what level do I get the Sous Chef ability maxed.

Game Saves Files

From the home screen you can tap the floppy disc icon to see your save's progress and create up to 3 saves files.

Example use cases:

I wanted to show my friend this game so I created a new save and let them try it out!
