While exploring the farm, you'll come across debris and broken bridges that will need to be removed or repaired by Nigel the carpenter. Nigel can be commissioned in one of two ways: you can either gather the required materials by yourself, or you can spend money. Doing so will open up new areas and give you more farmland, facilities, and materials to work with.
Besides the debris blocking your way, you'll also find dilapidated facilities that can't be used at first. If you have the right materials, you can fix them up to be as good as new! The newly repaired facilities can be used right away.
- A Wild Animal Appears!
-
You might spot wild livestock wandering around while you're working on the farm. If you happen to have a facility available for it, you can tame it and raise it as your own. You must have a space in the facility available for the animal, or you'll be unable to tame it.
Makers are convenient facilities that come in many varieties. Once the required materials have been placed in a maker, it will begin to process your materials into a brand-new item. The amount of time needed to process an item will depend on what you're making, so they're perfect to have working in the background while you're out exploring or chatting up the townsfolk!
