Emerald Beach (update 3/3) key features

This is the last area where you can buy farmable land. Emerald Beach is a lush tropical jungle with giant trees and fast-growing plants — you’ll need to tame the wilderness and carve out space for your crops on the Land you purchase.

Difficulty: HARD.

At first, the area will feel claustrophobic, but as you explore and clear the dense vegetation, it will slowly open up and reward your efforts.

To unlock each new buyable Land, you must first complete the Quest line of the previous Land. Only then will the next Land become available: the Buy Land sign is enabled, and the vegetation blocking access to the next region becomes available to clear as part of progression.

Some tropical Crops and Trees unlock gradually as you expand deeper into Emerald Beach and purchase specific Lands.

Help article coming soon. Until then, you’re on your own… or at the mercy of brave and generous explorers in the social media groups that will figure everything out.

Rice Field system

This update introduces a completely new Rice Field system. Rice can only be grown on dedicated flooded plots, connected through a brand new ditch and water passage mechanic unlike anything we’ve added before, complete with flowing water sounds and splashes. Rice itself grows remarkably fast. We’re pretty sure we will see some creative designs, because the potential for abuse is high, and we’ve only optimised this system for conventional flooded fields.

New Mechanics

• Collecting palm fruit bunches from tall palm trees is done by Joe, that throws the stick to bring the fruit bunches down. Aim for the crown and click.
• Faster bush clearing using the new Machete mechanics.
• Slowing down aggressive jungle regrowth using Jungle Mulch and Jungle Path tiles. Doña Camilla, the brave owner of this abandoned jungle patch, had that very idea in mind — she just never got around to seeing it through.
• Everything wild in Emerald Beach regrows naturally in roughly one month, making the region feel alive and constantly changing.

New Products

• Tropical fruits
• Coconuts
• Sugarcane
• Seashells gathered from the shore
• Handcrafted Seashell Necklaces

Of course, Emerald Beach is in beta mode, and we will adjust based on your feedback.

Happy farming & exploring!

Below, some important changes that we believe will make the game look much better, and that are required due to upcoming crops and trees for your main farm. Don’t worry, you won’t lose anything!

Important Notice

Crop location changes — effective in 7 days

As part of the climate-based farming system introduced with the Cypress Grove update, crops will grow in regions that match their natural climate. Your main farm will become climate-consistent, meaning only crops suited to a temperate climate will grow there. Mediterranean and tropical plants will move to Cypress Grove and Emerald Beach respectively — making it easier to know where to plant each crop, keeping your farm organised, and freeing up space for new temperate crops.

See the full list of affected crops in the tables below.

What happens to your existing trees?

What IF I Don’t want the new land?Players who prefer not to grow these plants in Cypress Grove or Emerald Beach can still acquire them through the Market Stand or Newspaper from other players, provided they meet the required level (35 for Cypress Grove, 45 for Emerald Beach).

Why are we making these changes?

Since the new areas are just one click away and the Fast Travel popup is better than ever, accessing them is easy. We believe the benefits outweigh any inconvenience: you’ll have more land to plant, and a wider choice of crops.

Game and QOL improvements

• Highly improved moving system when rearranging your farm.

  • No more guessing if objects are close enough to each other. Nearby objects now show a soft green placement area, so you can clearly see when you’re right next to them, without dragging objects over each other just to check spacing.

  • Selected objects now smoothly follow your mouse movement instead of snapping and jittering on the grid. Picking up an object now gently raises it up, and placing it down feels smooth and natural.

  • At first, the new movement may feel a little different, but after a minute of using it, you’ll notice arranging your farm becomes much faster and easier.

  • Improved shrub placement guides.

  • Improved tree placement visuals, so it’s easier to understand how much space large tree crowns need in relation to nearby trees.

The entire system is now smoother, clearer, and much easier to follow visually.

• Dedicated original soundtracks for Emerald Beach and Cypress Grove, each built around its own regional identity and mood:
  • Emerald Beach leans into lush tropical jungle ambience with dense percussion, wildlife texture and humid, exploratory energy.
  • Cypress Grove carries a warm Mediterranean–Mexican inspired sound with bright, relaxed, sunlit melodies and a distinctly calm, rural coastal feel.
• Expanded Accessibility feature: Click Locking for rocks, wild vegetation, etc. It’s HIGHLY ADVISABLE to turn this on, your click finger will thank you. Then, you just hover over a wild plant, click and hold until the Click Locking loads up. Then you can add the hits to that object until it is being cleared, then it auto deselects.
