Answers to Common Early‑Game Questions
New players often run into the same small hurdles. This guide covers the three most frequently asked questions about inventory space, returning home quickly, and inviting friends to your plot.
📦 What do I do when my inventory is full?
Several solutions, from simplest to most efficient:
- Drop items – Press I to open inventory, drag items out of the bag to drop them. Only do this for cheap items (e.g., stones, extra fiber).
- Sell to Zeki – Fast‑travel to Kilima Village or use the shipping bin on your home plot. Zeki buys almost everything.
- Upgrade backpack – Buy backpack slot upgrades from Zeki’s store. First upgrade (500g) adds 5 slots; second (1000g) adds another 5. Essential early purchase.
- Use storage chests – Place a Wooden Chest on your home plot (craft at Workbench). It holds 20 items. Build multiple chests as needed.
- Process items – Smelt ores into bars, turn crops into seeds or preserves – processed items often stack higher and sell for more, freeing slots.
💡 Tip: Always keep at least 5 free slots for gathering. If you’re on a farming run, have a chest or sell point nearby.
⛩️ How do I quickly return to my home plot?
- Home Shrine (fastest – free once per day): Open the map (M) and click the “Return Home” button. First use each day is free; subsequent uses cost 50 gold.
- Fast Travel Board: Use any fast travel board (e.g., in Kilima Village square) and select “Your Home Plot”. Cost: 10–50 gold depending on distance.
- Walk / Glide: Your home plot is east of Kilima Village. Follow the path or glide from the cliffs near the farm.
- Death reset (not recommended): If you get stuck, you can intentionally drown or fall to respawn at your home plot, but you’ll drop some gold (10g penalty).
💡 The free daily home return is best used after a long gathering session to deposit items.
🏠 Why can’t my friend join my home plot?
Several possible reasons and fixes:
- Not in the same party: You must be in a party together. Press O → Friends → Invite to Party, or type
/invite [PlayerName]in chat. - Permissions not set: By default, guests can enter but sometimes need an explicit invite. Open Social panel → Party → click “Invite to Home” (or press the “Home” icon next to their name).
- Friend is in a different server region: Party members automatically sync servers, but if they were offline, try re‑inviting after they log in.
- Your plot is full? Home plots have a visitor limit (up to 8 players including owner). If already full, ask someone else to leave or try again later.
- They haven’t completed the tutorial: New characters must finish the basic tutorial (unlock first tools) before they can visit other plots.
- Game bug / server issue: Sometimes a relog (restart game) for both players solves the problem. Also check for maintenance announcements.
💡 To allow friends to edit/build on your plot, go to Settings → Plot Permissions → set “Guest Editing” to “Friends” or “Party”.
💡 Bonus: Quick Storage & Home Access Tricks
- Place multiple chests side by side – each chest is independent, so you can have different categories (ores, crops, fish).
- Upgrade chests later – Wooden → Copper → Iron → Palium chests hold more slots and are larger, reducing number needed.
- Use the shipping bin – It sells items instantly, but you get the gold the next day. Good for offloading bulk items without going to Zeki.
- Home plot access via friend list: You can teleport directly to a friend’s plot from the social panel without an invite, if they have set permissions to “Friends”.
