[h2]🐷 Oink, oink! 🐷[/h2]

Once again hello, fellow gamers and Steam enthusiasts!

It's me, Peter the Pig, here to answer once again some of the most frequently asked questions trotting around the community regarding our life on the farm. So without further ado, let's dive right into them!

[h3]Where can I find fireflies?[/h3]
Fireflies appear only in the evening; try looking for them after 9:00 PM. The best spot to catch them is the entrance to the farm, right where you first started your adventure. There are no wolves there, so don’t be scared! Once you see the fireflies grab your net and start catching them!

[h3]My animals are hungry, what do I do? How do I feed animals?[/h3]
There are two ways of feeding your animals. The first one is making sure your animals have enough fresh grass around them. You can let them out of the enclosures you’ve made for them or plant more fresh grass in their spaces.

The second way is bringing your pets Hay Cubes, which you can craft at the Workbench.

[h3]How to craft a hay cube?[/h3]
To craft a hay cube you’ll need to have hay in your inventory, then head over to the Workbench and you should find an option to craft it!

[h3]How to get more hay?[/h3]
Take out your sword and start cutting some of the fresh grass around you. Some of it should go to your inventory. Grab the freshly cut grass and bring it over to a drying rack, load it up and wait until the grass becomes dry.

[h3]How to make a drying rack?[/h3]
Make sure to follow the quests with Willow! They should unlock the Drying Rack for you. Once you unlock it, head over to the workbench and look it up, it should appear on the list of things you can craft!


That’s all for today folks!

Thank you for your questions and engagement with our life on the farm! If you have any more questions or need further advice, don't hesitate to oink at me :)

[h3]Happy gaming, and may your adventures be as fun as mud baths are for me! 🐷🎮[/h3]

Here we go with the patch notes!

[h3]Two fresh additions: [/h3]

Starting out with some cosmetics, you get new pants!
And moving on to… A MAGIC FLUTE! 🎶✨
Once you play it the animals get charmed by its beautiful sound, and will start following you anywhere! Try it on a group of animals, or make it a private concert for just one furry friend.
Oh, and feel free to play it while riding on your horse too!
The animals will keep on following you, until you play them a song once more. After playing the song again they will stop following you.

[h2]🐷 Oink, oink! 🐷[/h2]

Greetings, fellow gamers and Steam enthusiasts!
It's me, Peter the Pig, and I am here to answer some of the most frequently asked questions trotting around the community regarding our life on the farm. So without further ado, let's dive right into them!

[h3]How does teaching the dog work / How to raise the dog's level? [/h3]
Grab a stick and hold it in your hand. The dog should run up to you shortly, then throw it so the dog will start playing fetch with you! You should see the level indicator above your friend’s head go up. Keep playing with your dog until the indicator fills all the way up!

[h3]How does teaching the cat work / How to raise the cat's level?[/h3]
First, you need to find a Cat Toy. Take a closer look around the farmhouse; it should be near! Once you find the toy, simply equip it and wait for the cat to run over to you. Your orange friend should spot the toy and start following it. Now take a closer look at your surroundings; you should see a hoop; if you cannot see it, look underneath your feet; there’s a small yellow arrow indicating the ring's location. Now to the fun part - you need to run up to the hoop and make the cat jump through it! To do so, use the “E” button, or left-click; if the cat is close to the Cat Toy, it will jump up, trying to catch it! Be precise with putting the Toy up near the hoop, and the cat will make the jump! Repeat this process until your pet makes all five jumps. Make sure to pay attention to the time limit!

[h3]Where can I find the old scarf? [/h3]
Look for something blue around the Grandparent’s house!

[h3]How to repair a bridge?[/h3]
Two types of bridges can be repaired with wood, and the other needs nails. If you follow the questlines your Grandparents gave you, you will unlock the necessary nails!

[h3]How to get nails?[/h3]
Make sure to follow the quests, and you will unlock them! They may have something to do with a fishing competition that your Grandpa will hold!

[h3]Where do I find bees?[/h3]
Head southwest, and you’ll find a bridge that needs to be repaired with wood. After you pass the bridge, you’ll find that rocks are blocking a path and… the bees you’re looking for! So take out your net and start catching them!

[h3]How to find Willow?[/h3]
Find two things in your inventory - dog treats and Willow’s Bell! Grab the dog treat and feed your precious pet with it, then hold Willow’s Bell and let the dog sniff it; you should see a question mark above its head. Now follow the dog; it will bring you to the cow!


That’s all for today, folks!

If you have any more questions or need further advice, don't hesitate to oink at me :)

[h3]Happy gaming, and may your adventures be as fun as mud baths are for me! 🐷🎮[/h3]
