Guide, FAQ and First Patch

Thank you for all the valuable feedback you’ve shared so far. We are going through the forums and customer reviews to gather the issues submitted and collate them with our plans for Pixelshire’s first patch. We will release this initial patch next week, and as much as we’d love to, we cannot guarantee every issue will be addressed.

It is obviously disheartening to see many of you are unhappy with the current gameplay experience and we will do everything we can to give you the version of Pixelshire that you wanted and deserve. We are working on putting together a schedule of planned updates and will share more details very soon.

In the meantime, here is a how-to guide for the most pressing items, solutions to common bugs, some tips and tricks, and general game information.

[h2] GUIDE [/h2]

How to refill a watering can:

• Equip watering can
  
• Go to the west of Margarita’s house to the edge of the water with no fencing
  
• Hover cursor over the water and press E key / X on controller
  
• A watering well blueprint can be purchased from Magarita and after you build a well, you can use this as another source to refill your watering can
  

Switching Tools:

• Hold the Q key / LT on controller to open the tool wheel
  
• Click on the tool you would like to use
  
• Tool wheel prompt doesn’t show up if no tool is selected but the button still works.
  

Tools become unusable if the durability is depleted (the bar at the bottom left side of the screen is completely empty):

• Craft or buy a new tool
  
• Go to the blacksmith NPC, Saint, and use his profession to repair your tool
  

All seeds in shops replenish after sleeping:

• Sleeping can be done in the guest house next to Eva’s house
  
• Using the guest house can be done before its introduced to the player by Eva
  

Where to find higher tiers of ore

• Only 2 can be found in the Pixelshire mine near Bron
  
• More iron ore is found in the mine found in the Greenwood past where Saint is standing
  
• Bron gives you 4 iron ores to make the iron bars he requests
  
• Each area will have a mine with higher tiers of ore
  

Each crop will have a description of what season they can grow in

Each Season is 10 days long. There are two seasons: Summer and Winter.


[h2] SOLUTIONS TO COMMON BUGS [/h2]

Q: Why can’t I buy more rice seeds?
If you bought all 6 rice seeds and there are no more rice seeds left in Margarita's shop, you need to sleep in the guest house which is the right-most door of the mayor's house (the big house above the fountain)!

Q: Where and how can I refill my watering can?
Be sure to target the square in front of you when refilling your can! The only place currently to fill your watering can is west of Margarita's house. The quest line will indicate this spot when you receive your watering can.

Q: How can I move my work bench?
You will receive a hammer from the mayor that will allow you to change the placement of your work bench.

Q: How do I dig a pond?
Dig in one spot until there is water. Repeat until there are 6 holes with water.

Q: How do I dig or elevate with the shovel?
There are three options with the shovel. You can see which option you have equipped by looking at above the tool icon in the bottom left corner when your character is holding the shovel. The three options are dig, add dirt to a hole or elevate the ground, and make slopes (LB if using a controller, R if using mouse and key).

[h2] TIPS & TRICKS [/h2]

1. Collect excessive resources as soon as possible (i.e. wood, coal, and ores) because it makes the early game progress smoother.
2. Accept side quests as soon as you see them available from NPCs. They aren't always available.
3. Craft chests as soon as possible to store excess resources for later in the game. Remember to upgrade to Iron chests when possible.
4. Remember that seasons affect some crops so make sure to make the most of each season.
5. Gifts and side quests lead to romance and talents. Romance level leads to talent unlocks.
6. Harvest and water crops daily to get higher starred crops.
7. Try to not corner yourself while having an NPC follow you.
8. Compass doesn't tell you what area NPCs are in, so take note of where they like to go.
