So I've decided it's time that I come up with a bunch of Guides. So here is a little taste of a bunch of guides that are coming so help yourself! If you have suggestions for other guides/faqs, or wish to comment about something send me a mail at biominion@hotmail.com ----------------------- < III.Basic Controls > ----------------------- A button - Use, Talk, Look, Pick, Dig, Show, Ride, Put, Take, Wash, Door, Milk........

One you start with them, two you buy them, and three you receive them. All tools can be either put in the tool shed or your rucksack. There are 22 tools you can get and each one is unique. You can buy tools either from the ledger or from Van. Receiving them is a tougher job because you must become friends with certain people and trigger event in order to get them. ----------------------- < V.What the tools do > ----------------------- There are 7 different type of tools. Hoe, Sickle, Watering Can, Wool Cutters, Fishing rods, milker, and Brush. Each one has a different function and for each type there are better and worse ones. Here is an overview of what each tool does. Hoe - Hoes till fields so you can plant seeds. Sickle - Sickles can cut down trees, plants, or grass (fodder). Watering Can - Watering cans obviously water plants/trees. Wool Cutters - Cuts wool from sheep. Fishing rods - Catch fish with this in various places. Milker - Milks your FEMALE cows. Brush - Brushes your BARN animals so they are happier. *Special Tools such as Weird and Strange What do they do? Well the two Strange and Weird tools are alike, I don't think one is better than the other. They do help you though, because the more you use the tools the more your stamina grows (ironic huh, the first tools wear u out and don't do anything when these tools don't wear you out and help you......) so if u want to run around the village the whole day without tiring that's ur way. And also the tools are considerably faster than the normal tools and they do look a lot cooler. So there u have it all those ppls asking me. Strange and weird tools increase your stamina and are faster. --------------------------------- < VI.Detailed tool explanations > --------------------------------- --- HOE --- Name: Heavy Hoe Use: Plow fields, so you can plant seeds.
