Lots of Questions...

[Kennag929]

So I got the game today, and I have lots of questions. I'm towards the end of spring already.

Anybody who can answer of these are greatly appreciated!

1. How can you tell exactly what days the countries come visit? I went on the "Exp. Date" on the calendar and they didn't come. I got a letter the next day though. Is it different everytime?
2. Ways to make money besides crops and animals? Everything is so expensive and it's so hard to earn money!
3. When do you unlock multiplayer mode to play online?
4. How do you get blueprints for clothes and whatnot?
5. How to unlock more countries?
6. How to unlock Kamil?
7. Easier way to get supplies like lumber and stone maybe? It took me literally 5 days using ALL my stamina just to destroy 1 stupid boulder. And its all day for one tree. It kills me omg

I'll probably add more questions as I play more and I remember more... it's greatly appreciated whoever can answer any!

You can check this on the calendar inside your house. Not the calendar in the Trade Station!

2. Ways to make money besides crops and animals? Everything is so expensive and it's so hard to earn money!

Dive! If you save and reload for peridots, topaz, and ancient fish fossils that's respectively 3000G+ & 3000G+ & 4000G+! (or at least in seedling mode, not sure about veteran mode)

3. When do you unlock multiplayer mode to play online?

Spring 26th!

4. How do you get blueprints for clothes and whatnot?

You unlock the patterns for clothes in the Antique Shop once you have the Sewing Studio (blueprint bought at Silk Country)!

5. How to unlock more countries?

Cabin Country - Ship 100,000G since Summer Year 1
Sakura Country - Ship 200,000G since Fall Year 1
Wheat Country - Ship 500,000G since Fall Year 1
Rose Country - Ship 1,000,000G since Fall Year 1

The last two have different requirements which I can't recall from the top of my head;;;;

7. Easier way to get supplies like lumber and stone maybe? It took me literally 5 days using ALL my stamina just to destroy 1 stupid boulder. And its all day for one tree. It kills me omg

You can also purchase materials at the Carpentry Shop! Or replenish your energy by eating at the restaurant! As for me, I usually chopped/hammered as much as I could until I had one heart left and just turned in for the day and tried again the next day. I eventually cleared my field by the middle of Spring!

You can see the requirements for the last two countries at the bottom of this page http://fogu.com/sos1/basics/difficulty-modes.php

6. How to unlock Kamil?

Starting on spring of year 2, go to the trade depot on a sunny day. You need to unlock 3 or more trade vendors before he arrives.

Also how do you get pets like dogs and cats?

Once you build the pet barn, the Silk country will sell a cat. The other pets are sold by other vendors and are unlocked at different points in time. For instance, the first dog is sold by Sakura Country vendor starting summer of year 2.

And where do I get treats for my animals?

You can buy them from the Cabin Country vendor.
