More about this game
Your goal is to expand your island and earn Prestige by constructing buildings and completing quests. The core loop involves gathering resources like wood, stone, and gold, then spending them to build and upgrade structures that produce automatically. As you grow, you unlock new biomes and face dynamic events that require careful resource management. There is no way to lose, allowing you to build your Wonder and reach the Sky Kingdom at your own pace.
Tips
- Place Farms near Houses and Lumber Mills near forests to gain production bonuses. These synergies significantly increase your resource output over time.
- Check the Kingdom Menu frequently to claim milestone rewards and activate your Living Totem for powerful temporary boosts that match your current playstyle.
- Save up your resources to build the Skyglass Wonder once you reach 12 Prestige. This milestone unlocks a stronger new Legacy era and grants massive gold production.
Questions
How do I reach the Sky Kingdom?
You need to earn 8 Prestige by completing quests and expanding your island. Once earned, open the Kingdom Menu, choose the biome, and board the Giant Airship.
What happens when I upgrade a building?
Upgrading a building increases its production rate and visual size. It costs a mix of resources, but the investment pays off quickly through faster automatic generation.
How do island events work?
Events appear periodically and offer rapid objectives or temporary bonuses. Build an Observatory to forecast upcoming events and prepare your resources to maximize the rewards.
