In Family Island, managing your resources and buildings is key to progressing efficiently. This guide covers four important aspects of the game: the Multicrafter, Bathroom, Stone Deposit, and Totem of Happiness.
Multicrafter
The Multicrafter is a production building that becomes available once you reach Level 30. It allows you to craft essential items like:
- Stone Block
- Limestone Block
- Beam
- Palm Beam
- Millstone
Multicrafter Upgrades
Upgrading the Multicrafter improves its efficiency. Below are the resources needed for each level:
| Level | Resources |
|---|---|
| 1 | 25 Palm Logs, 15 Leathers, 10 Blue Paint |
| 2 | 10 Millstone, 12 Palm Beam, 8 Barrel |
By upgrading the Multicrafter, you can produce more items and advance further in the game.
Bathroom
The Bathroom is a crucial building that provides you with Energy. It unlocks at Level 6 and is essential for maintaining your progress.
However, the Bathroom can break and will display as “broken” until repaired. Without repairs, it will simply act as a decoration and won’t provide any energy.
Bathroom Repairs and Upgrades
Bathrooms and showers frequently break down, especially with regular use. Here’s how to handle them:
- Check the Building Name: If the building is broken, it will be indicated in its name.
- Building Menu Messages: “Increase energy bonus” means you’re upgrading, while “Generates energy” is seen in the repair window.
Upgrade Resources for Bathroom
Upgrading the Bathroom increases the energy it provides. Here’s what you’ll need for each level:
| Level | Resources | Bonus | Time | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30 Sticks, 5 Stakes, 5 Hides | Gives 3 energy | Instant | lvl 6 |
| 2 | 15 Boards, 15 Resin, 15 Candles | Gives 4 energy | 15hr | lvl 17 |
| 3 | 10 Jugs, 10 Leathers, 20 Ocher | Gives 5 energy | 30hr | lvl 34 |
| 4 | 20 Iron pipes, 20 Ladders, 7 Troughs | Gives 7 energy | – | – |
Repair Resources for Bathroom
Here’s what you need to repair the Bathroom:
| Level | Resources | Bonus | Other |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 Hides, 3 Wattles, 1 Gold Saw | Gives 3 energy | Repaired gives 15 energy |
| 2 | 3 Hides, 2 Clay Pots, 2 Gold Saws | Gives 4 energy | – |
| 3 | 5 Hides, 3 Soaps, 2 Gold Saws | Gives 5 energy | – |
Remember, after upgrading, your Bathroom will break again, and you’ll need to repair it to continue receiving energy.
Stone Deposit
Stone Deposits are a common resource found on every island. They are crucial for gathering materials to craft items. However, there’s a strategy to maximize your efficiency.
Harvesting Tips for Stone Deposit
It’s often more energy-efficient to harvest multiple small stone deposits than to tackle larger ones. For example:
- Two 15-energy deposits: Costs 30 energy and yields 6 stones.
- One 34-energy deposit: Costs 34 energy and also yields 6 stones.
This approach saves energy, allowing you to gather more resources over time.
Locations for Stone Deposit
The location of the stone deposit can also impact your rewards:
- Festival Islands: Harvesting here often gives you festival points or specific resources along with stones. For instance, during snowball-themed festivals, you might receive snowballs as well.
- Home Island: Expect 3 stones about 30% of the time and 4 stones about 70% of the time.
Totem of Happiness
The Totem of Happiness is another building that provides Energy. It unlocks at Level 19 and gives you energy every 3 hours.
Upgrading the Totem of Happiness
To upgrade the Totem of Happiness, you’ll need to acquire the Magic 8 Ball. Here’s how:
- Watch for Dialogues: Keep an eye on the dialogues on the left side of your screen.
- Complete Quests: Make sure you’ve read and completed any new dialogues.
- Obtain the Magic 8 Ball: After these steps, the Magic 8 Ball will be yours, allowing you to upgrade the Totem of Happiness.
Once upgraded, the Totem of Happiness will provide you with more energy, helping you tackle tasks more efficiently.
