still can't figure out how to populate my friends list. Added them. They added me. I've sent out invites, they sent them back. Still nothing.

Would be nice to have a history of visitors? I keep accepting help, and forgetting who had helped before I've had the chance to add them and reciprocate. Even a relatively small list; 15/20 actions would be great, or even better - the last 5 actions from strangers.

EVERYONE! Please remember to FRIEND people on KONG (outside of oceania) so they appear on your in-game list of places to visit. Like with NPC Paprick, you can do 5 actions DAILY on each friends islands. that can add up to 10 - 20 XP for each friend daily or more if you feed animals, plus some drops only happen on FRIENDS islands, like spices for crops harvest, and a lot of COLLECTIBLES are only droping on FRIEND's islands like the whole Animal or gifts of nature collection. After reaching level 16 you can send a FREE gift to each of your friends daily. This gift could be things like shells and food, or a plank or clay brick or other items. It all isn't much for 1 friend, but if you have 20 friends, you can make about 300 XP extra daily, plus sending 20 free gifts. if all of them visit your island back they can do 100 actions on your island that YOU don't have to use energy for, and you might get 20 daily gifts that might be worth 100 shells and 60 food, all free.

@hateyou100scout You are very right! It's in freesound.org so it's copyright free. I would have never guessed that such a popular game as minecraft has taken its sound effects from the web. Sorry Oceania! It's a great game... thanks for giving me some historical background about its latvian past and present

@dimitris32
This game released before Minecraft full release 1.0 :)
And plus, these are copyright free sounds
As an FYI to those who are just finding out about this game - this is a game from 2011 for Latvian social media site "Draugiem.lv", where it was incredibly popular. It's incredible to see it fully translated & released in English in 2023 :)

So I had 4 friends prior to starting this game that later joined, and they are on my friend list on the bottom of the game. I have since added 5 more friends that currently play, but they won't show up on the list at all. I've added them outside the game, and on the island + feature. Only my original friends show up on the game.

TIP: When visiting a friend, things outlined in YELLOW/GOLD have already been taken care of by other friends. No need to do something someone else has already done. This will maximize the help everyone gets. Only thing that may not matter is cuttable trees.

The watermelon should give at least 1 seed to plant a new one because its a friend gift but it only gives 10 food and takes 1 day to grow

I think it would be a nice idea to be able to put items back in storage, instead of having to sell them. Like being able to store some fences, or path, or building, or seasonal decoration back into your storage/backpack.

@Pjobooklover: best crop for food? that is a difficult question to answer. depends on what you are looking for. It depends, are you in a hurry, so is TIME the most important factor ? is spending real money possible ? is the amount of shells it cost important (many cooking recipes need salt or sugar or yeast), is energy important ? for most food you have to dig a field first, then plant crop, and then later on harvest it. do you rely on harvesting yourself, or do you rely on friends harvesting for you. So yeah, all those answer define what the BEST food for you is. Sorry for being so evasive. I like beans (as they have a long time for friends to harvest) and the cooking is pretty ok for them

@craiden like every bush/tree/crop, you FIRST need to dig a field (use the shovel icon in the right bottom labeled SPADE, and select a place to dig)

@Pjobooklover if I remember correctly, you have to visit Paprick's island, open the quest and then press to provide water.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So, ive had a quest for awhile, learning how to use the well. One of the requirements is providing water to Paprick, 20 units. And while it says 20/20 its not technically finished? Ive gone to his island and gathered water for him thinking it would finish it, but it is still unfinished. What do I do?
It depends which palm, but the simplest answer would be "few days". It will always grow up from the shop. There may be special islands/events when already existing palms don't grow up.

here are a TWO bits of wisdom: a) you can get bonus XPs if you move over the drops from your actions within a short time period, if you manage to move over 5 items before they disappear you get 2 extra XP, for a combination of 13 items you get another 10 extra XP, and if you get 23 items in a row, you get another 15 extra XP.so if you are placing 12 fields to plant food, that would be a guaranteed 24 drops, and you could earn an extra 27 XP from that
b) the path are increasing your walking speed, the higher quality the faster you can run on them, so they are not just for decoration or reputation (especially if the island gets bigger this becomes important)

@Pjobooklover: My Crystal Ball tells me that it will later in the game needed for multiple things. I could imagine things like fountains, sprinklers, creating ice, building an aquarium/pond, maybe even to extinguish fires or some kind of machinery.

@freelance6210: for you to have people to visit (and to send daily gifts to), you need to FRIEND people outside the game (so in kong itself). you can do so on any kong webpage by clicking the people icon in the top part of Kong, then you see yourFRIENDS, and you can enter people's kong name to FRIEND them. OR if they aledy firended you (like I did) you can just on that friends page click on FAN's and then see who friended you, and you can just click on them to FRIEND them there. Again, to be able to visit people and send gifts in Oceania, you have to do those action OUTSIDE the game, in kong itself. Hope that helped.

Add me please, my friend requests either aren't working or perhaps my island is just so sad that no one wants to be my friend....

Some general advise for best Co-op experience: FRIEND other people on KONG so you can visit them daily, once you reach level 16 send gifts to your neighbors in the game, visit your friends daily (5 actions per friend, most of the time harvesting crop is the best option for both people, if you have extra food feeding animals even offers more XP for you, if there are no crops or animals, tending things like banana tree, coconut trees, water well or camp fire in higher levels are good actions as well, if nothing else is available then do things like regular trees or rocks or thorns or bushes). Again, this is a co-op game, so be FRIENDS and help each other out. You have friended me already, right ????

Question to the more advanced players: any sign of getting a free blueberry bush ? Like the banana tree where we found one for free, any hints of that yet ? and any hint yet to get a pick axe to get rid of those bigger rocks yet ? And as always, FRIEND me, so that we can work together, visit each other, and send gifts to each other (once you reach level 16)

@redsteve you will get a quest for the fishhook once you have the previous quests done. as a hint, it will involve FINDING a bone (even if you already have one in your backpack)

Okay. I can't get a workshop because it says I need to clear the shore. Is there a piece of something I'm missing because I've gone over every bit of the island looking for something to clear and all that's left are trees and rocks which I can't clear until I get a workshop.

as FunnyMan said, take your time, and READ the QUEST Texts, and look into the quest book. AND most important. FRIEND the people that play the game in kong itself, then you can visit them, and help them. YOU gain free XP by visiting them, and at level 16 you can start sending FREE gifts to others as well. but you need to FRIEND them outside the game. so look in the discussions and add the people that are active posting as FRIE$NDS in kong itself, not just in the game itself. as soon as you add them as a FRIEND in kong outside the game, the next time you restart the game they should appear as a person to visit in the bottom. If you visit 10 friends in a day, thats easy 100 extra XPs fopr you, and you might even get some drops, and some quests require you to visit people. I have friended nearly everyone I noticed playing the game, so go ahead and friend me (and others) and we can all help each other. And no, you dont need to buy rubies, you can do it without them. See you in the game.

Guys, just read and complete quests, they themselves are a great guide. This game is easy to understand and doesn't really demand money. You are not supposed to unlock and explore everything within a day.
