General Information and Hints

Gameplay:

As you start the game you are given 3 options, Normal, Multiclick, and No time.  You can have a game in progress in each mode under the same player profile but you cannot switch mid-game. 

Normal mode requires your workers to return to their home if carrying resources before clicking again.  This is the hardest level of gameplay.

Multiclick allows you to queue up moves but you can only do so with accessible areas with the correct number of resources available.

No time is relaxed with no time limits.  You have the ability to queue up moves.  When you finish a level you will be given 3 stars so that you can play the bonus levels.

Options Menu:  It is possible to turn off the character's voices if you find the comments and grunting tedious.  It is recommended to keep the sound turned on so you can hear resources appearing on stumps and berries popping.  You can also turn off the tips. 

Information for each location will show when you hover your cursor over it with cost or income.  If you click on the item and it is not accessible or you do not have enough resources, you will receive information on what you are lacking (a path, certain resources, certain buildings)

Colored circles will also show upon hovering your cursor.  Red circles indicate you can't get the resource or build/upgrade the building.  Blue circles means you can get the resources or building but you have no worker available.  Green circles means you have the workers and are good to go. 

In addition to colored circles, buildings have crossed axes on them.  If the axes are gray, you need resources.  If colored, you have enough.  You will also see a star over the axes, which shows you quickly how many stars you have.

Timer:  The timer bar is on the left.  The timer starts on clicking so you can hover your cursor and plan your moves first.  Besides the little lines for  time limits, the bar is colored.  If it is blue you are still in 3-star time.  If it is flashing blue and yellow, you are very close to the end of 3-star time.  If it is yellow, you are in 2-star time and if red 1-star time.  Gameplay will end if you run out of time.

Top Bar:  Quantities of resources available and inside ( ) you get the buildings' production.  It's limited to 20 units until warehouses are built. Each cycle lasts 10 seconds.  With the warehouse built, 1 star takes 1 second off the cycle time and 2 stars takes a total of 2 seconds off.  You will see little bars.

Resources:

• Food:  Available from the road (2 units), stumps (2 units), berries (3 units), fish (4 units), and farms. 
• Ore:  Available from the road (2 units), stumps (2 units), wood blocks (3 units), huge wood blocks (5 units), mines, and workshops.
• Gold:  Available from the road (2 units), stumps (2 units), gold nuggets (3 units), gold mines, and gold shafts.
• Stumps renew every 30 seconds.  Berries renew in about 40 seconds.

Warehouses - 1 star warehouse allow you to have 25 units on hand plus decreases the cycle time by 1 second.  A 2 star warehouse allow 30 units on hand plus decreases the cycle time by another second.
