Getting started and the first steps in the Harvestopia farm game
Getting started with farm online games like Harvestopia is often complicated for the layperson and is therefore simply no fun – not so with Harvestopia, as soon as you have completed the registration, you will be guided through a small tutorial by the nice and funny master farmer Hans, which will guide you through the most important steps. If you skipped a step in the tutorial, or accidentally finished the tutorial, or if you want to check something later, there are of course also game instructions in the form of a small Harvestopia Wiki.
As already mentioned, this online game is a farming game or a farm game in which you run your own small farm. When you click on buildings and fields in Harvestopia, you can interact with the game world. When you complete certain actions, such as harvesting farm produce or completing quests in the city, you receive experience points that allow you to advance to levels, also known as levels. The experience bar, which shows you your progress to the next level, can be found at the bottom center. Each time you level up, certain products and options for action are unlocked. The currency in the game world in which your skilled farmers live is called Farmtaler. Every farm has a farm shop where the hard-working little farmer can sell his products. In return you receive the game currency, Farmtaler, which you can exchange in the city for unlocked products.
You also have the opportunity to visit the bank in the Harvestopia town where you can purchase the second game currency. With the so-called premium thalers you can get a lot of advantages. The display for both currencies can be found at the top left of the image. You start the game after registering with 50 farm coins and 120 premium coins. Immediately to the right of the display for the premium thalers you will find a small stopwatch which shows when the next process, such as the next harvest, is completed. Like many online games, in this farming game you have the opportunity to design your own coat of arms so that you can distinguish yourself from other players. Using a sophisticated post and chat system, you can communicate with friends and fellow players. The icon that represents the inbox looks like a small letter and can be found at the top of the screen in the middle.
This is how you start managing your farm
Even though it’s a farm game, it’s not always peace. You can set up a laboratory in the farmhouse. After you have done this, you can release pests on other farms or disable machines. This means you even get experience points after successful completion! However, there is a catch here. Once you have built your laboratory, you are also vulnerable to attacks from other players. After four weeks, provided you were good and didn’t harm anyone, the protection will be reactivated and you can go about your everyday farm life again with peace of mind.
As in so many online games or simulation games, you can join various groups, so-called guilds. In the guild hall you can find all information and news about the guild. If you haven’t joined a guild yet, you can look for suitable players on the guild market. Being a member of a guild has many advantages. Of course, it’s more fun when you can share the game with other players. You can also earn a few additional experience points by completing the guild quests.
Another “building” that you can click on is the field. This is nothing new, of course there have to be fields in every farming game, otherwise it would just be one of many simulation games. Controlling the field is very simple, you can buy newly unlocked seeds in the city, and at the beginning every player can grow lettuce and carrots. You can sow with the sowing glove or one of the tractors. You can irrigate, harvest and use miracle fertilizers. To sow, simply click on the desired product, then select the sowing method above and then click on a free square in the field. The ornamental garden works in a similar way to the field, allowing you to have a lot of fun while working hard in the field. You can sell your products through the farm shop mentioned above. If not enough customers are interested in your products, there is a field that takes you to the advertising agency, through which you can advertise your products to more customers.
Conclusion on the first hours of play
At first you might be a little overwhelmed, especially if you haven’t played any simulation games before this online game. But you quickly get used to the cute little houses on the farm. It’s a simulation game, but the many options mean it doesn’t get boring so quickly. Once you get used to the cute little houses and the game mechanics, you won’t want to stop. Best of all, Harvestopia is free to play!
