Dig up garden beds, plant seeds, and collect crops[]

Click the “Dig” button (a shovel) in the bottom right part of the screen. Then click on any clear piece of land to make your character place a new garden bed or a hotbed there. When the garden bed is ready, go to the Market and buy Seeds. Click on the garden bed to plant the seeds. Hold the mouse pointer over a plant to learn when the crops will ripen. Click the ripe crops to harvest them.

Open caches and collect treasures[]

Every tree you cut down and every stone you clear leaves a cache with treasures. Click this cache to open it, and when various treasures drop out of the cache, collect them all.

Purchase things at the Market[]

You can buy Seeds, Decorations, Buildings, Animals, Hotbeds, Energy, Workers, Territories, Fertilizers, Feed, and Clothing at the Market.

Visit friends and look for treasures in their territory[]

Invite your friends to play together. Click the avatar of your friend at the bottom of the screen and select “visit”. Once your friend’s map gets loaded, click any building or decoration to search it for coins and collection items. You only have 5 attempts a day to dig at each friend's territory; the more friends you have, the more useful things you can find.

Hire Inuit workers[]

You need Inuit workers to clear your area of stones and trees. Hire an Inuk at the Market and give him a task. Don't forget to collect output from buildings, otherwise your workers will just laze about.

Replenish energy[]

To manage large amounts of work on your own you'll need lots of energy. Replenish your energy by purchasing Energy in the Farm->Energy section of the Market.

Workers[]

Symbols used in the game[]

There are two icons representing a house and a human silhouette in the upper part of the screen. The numbers under the House icon indicate the number of beds available for your friend workers (the number of beds occupied/total number of beds). You can increase the total number of beds by building a Tent, a Cabin, Apartments, or an Inn. The numbers under the human silhouette indicate the number of Inuit workers you have hired (the number of Inuit working/the number of idle Inuit).

Inuit workers[]

You can hire Inuit to work for you at any moment. The number of Inuit workers needed depends on the task. They will become indispensable helpers for you. You can find Inuit in the Inuit section of the Market.

Hiring friends[]

Your friends are always glad to help you in your hard work. Click the avatar of a friend and select “hire.” Now your friend will work for you for a token payment. Remember that your friends need housing. Build a Tent, a Cabin, Apartments, or an Inn to increase the number of friend workers.

How do I go on expeditions?[]

To set out on an expedition, you first need to find the map.

Get the map[]

You will find the Map of Klondike once you arrive at your station. However, you will have to get everything ready before you set out on your first expedition. The expedition starts with the quest called Beginning of the navigation. You can find it on page 1 of the Adventures book

Sled[]

Click the sled and you will see a window with 2 tabs: Team and Cargo. Click the Team tab to find all information about the sled: the type and amount of feed you need for one day of travel, the maximum distance, the number of days you can feed the dogs for at home, the number of cargo pieces you can take at once. The Cargo tab shows what you have in your sled as well as the amount of space still available.

Feed the dogs[]

You can feed the dogs by clicking the "Feed the dogs" button: the grey dogs (Eskimo dogs) eat porridge, while the white ones (huskies) eat fish. If you are short of food or don't have enough time to cook it, you can buy it with emeralds. You can cook porridge and fish in the Barn.

Map[]

Open the "Map" tab to see the Map of Klondike. Locations on the map are marked with round icons. The spinning icon denotes the location you are currently at. Hover the cursor over a location to see what distance you need to cover to get there and how many days the trip will take. If all the circles between the current location and the one you want to visit are white, you can go there. If there are some red circles on the way, you either need to upgrade the sled or buy a better sled in the "Animals" section of the Market. When you click the location icon, there appears a confirmation screen which shows how many days the trip to the location takes, the number of days you have enough food for, the equipment you need, and whether you have the necessary equipment in your sled. Click the GO button.

Expeditions[]

Equipment[]

Equipment is needed to travel to other locations. To see the equipment you need to travel to a particular location, open the "Map" tab and click this location's icon. You can either create the equipment you need or buy it with emeralds.

The peculiarity of expedition locations.[]

When you first come to a new location, you see its entire territory hidden behind clouds. To be able to move within the location, you need to cut out the grass, bushes, stones, and trees that get in your way. Single clicks on these objects only bring you a modest reward, but if you click one of them several times in a row, you get a bundle or a stone clod, that turns into a heap of gifts once you bring it to your home station. Many locations have a key building that is found far off in the clouds. You need to find these buildings and complete their construction to later use them as warehouses and exchange platforms.

How do I cut out large objects?[]

You will sometimes come across stones and trees that you can't cut out with your current energy level. In this case you should eat an energy snack that you may have in your storage, or buy some energy by clicking the "Add energy" button at the top of the screen.

How do I get the items obtained during expeditions?[]

To get the items obtained during an expedition you need to go back to your home station and unload the sled

Sled[]

Sled is needed to travel from one location to another. At first, you are given a sled with one Eskimo dog, but you can upgrade this sled by exchanging it in the location Wind's Song, Polar-Side, Aery, or Indigo. You can also buy a new sled. There are times when you come to a location, but don't have enough food for the trip back home. In this case you can either buy some food for your dogs with emeralds, or simply click the "Home" button; but if you choose the latter, all the cargo you have obtained will be lost and you will come back home only with equipment in your sled. Your sled may also happen to lack the distance to come back home. In this case, you can still go back home, but all the cargo you have in your sled except the equipment will be lost on the way.

Fishing

How do you start catching fish?

  • Open the Market and buy a Fisherman’s House (3 mln coins)
  • Complete the construction of the Fisherman’s House.
  • Create Floats in this building.
  • Place the floats on the water (the river of your Home Station).
  • Wait till the timer runs out and collect the fish and other items you have caught.

Fishing Details and Tips:

  • Start catching fish using the first float on the list of crafts. As you start catching fish, you will be finding the items needed to create other floats in your catch.
  • Hooks needed for the production of floats can be created in Tinker Factory or Metallurgy.
  • Styrofoam and Cunning Bob can be found in your catch, together with fish and other useful items and collection pieces.
  • The floats differ from one another in 2 ways: the catch (different floats can catch different items in different amounts) and the time you have to wait till the catch.
  • Mouse over a float in your Fisherman’s House to learn the time interval when you will catch fish.

For example, after you place a simple Float on the water, you will need to wait 1-8 hours (time selected randomly) till the fish starts biting. Once you place the float, you will see the timer. When the timer runs out you will get to collect the catch.
