Sunrise Village is a village management and adventure game from InnoGames. It's a lot like Klondike Adventures, which is a lot like this game. In this game, you take back a village from a mysterious, ominous fog and slowly build it up until it is a money-making business. Then you must go on a search for magic stones that can be placed on a mysterious array of stones that signalled the arrival of fog, in order to get rid of it once and for all.
There is a lot of terrain in your way. You have to cut through it with your energy reserves while collecting materials to bring home and use to rebuild Sunrise Village.
Take note: You won't be able to play this game for a long time because of the way energy works: Isn't meant to be played quickly. It has a long campaign that is not meant to be played quickly. Make sure your village is clean and tidy while you play Sunrise Village. It's also important to know a few things about this game so that you can make good progress even though you have a small energy bar. Let's start now!
In the event that you run out of energy, you'll spend most of your time waiting for it to come back, or filling our orders in Sunrise Village's Order Board while keeping your production structures running. Here are some things you can do to keep the village going and, hopefully, get your energy bar back up with a big fat shiny level up. There are also some general things you can do that have a lot to do with adventuring.
Make 'em Work Extra Hours!
It's good to plant crops when your stamina bar runs out and you can't get it back except to wait. As a rule, you want to plant the thing that takes the longest to grow, especially if it's your last login of the day. When you're away from your phone, you can still make progress. Take a look at this when you come back later. You have corn ready for your sickle.
Keep your factory buildings' queues full if you have enough money to do so. When you come back, your farm animals will be well fed and you'll have the materials you need to build your next house or factory. However, when you're online, it's good to spam the crops that grow quickly so you have a lot of them.
In the same way, don't leave your farm animals' food trays empty when you go to log off. To make sure you have milk, eggs, and other things ready for when you come back, make sure the tray has at least some food in it.
Each animal only eats enough to make three units of their product before they stop, and they'll only start eating again when you come to pick them up. During the night, if any of your animals get tired, that gives you extra energy to start a new account when you wake up next.
Sources of energy
After you've waited, you have a lot of other ways to keep going. When you level up, you can fill up your energy bar, which will make it last longer. The easiest way to do this is to grind the Orders Board, since that doesn't use any Energy. You'll need to farm crops and wait for your animals to make their products, so you'll need a lot of time.
As your animals make things like eggs or milk, their own energy bar fills up. This gives you a little extra energy from time to time. You get Energy when it's full. The animal gets tired when it's full, but you get money. Wait for the animal to finish resting, or use coins to wake them up and get them going again, you slave driver. You can also wait for the animal to finish resting.
Every map you're on has a lot of Energy vials that you can find and pick up. When you find them, they give you a lot of energy, so be very careful when you look for them behind trees or rocks. Always look for a burst of bright blue, because they're shown as glass beakers with blue liquid in them.
When you make 45 energy, the Sweet Shop has to take a break because the people who run it have to clean up their stove after all the sticky mess. You can turn fruit and berries into Energy at the Sweet Shop.
You can also open the Friendship Garden. The Friendship Garden lets you make Friendship by picking an NPC as a friend. They'll help you get rid of things that are blocking your way. This is only a cosmetic thing, but your energy is still going to be used up by this. When they get enough hearts, their Friendship level will go up, and you get a lot of Energy and EXP.
Finally, adventure maps may or may not have structures that make Energy-filled food items, like the Hut in the Woodlands area, which turns mushrooms into Mushroom Soup, but this isn't always the case.
All of my best friends
The best way to make new friends in your Friendship Garden is to keep their levels about the same. Keep it even: The lower a Friend is, the faster you can fill their energy metre. This means that your energy rewards are more steady than if you try to focus on one NPC and get them as low as they can go. In this way, you can keep going on adventures for a longer time and do them more often.
An NPC's Friendship Level can be raised in several ways. The first thing you can do is go to the Friendship screen with them and just destroy things. The Order Board also has Friend Orders that can be fulfilled later on. Even though these orders can be more difficult than normal Market Orders, they still give you EXP, Coins, and a lot of Friendship EXP, so it's worth it to do them.
Also, you can build them houses as soon as you reach level 11. When they live inside, they can earn Friendship Points for as long a they stay there. If you want to keep your Houses making Friendship, you'll need to buy Friendship Fuel to do that. Friendship Fuel can be bought from the Traveling Merchant, who is north of Sunrise Village, and he sells it for money. Steel and fruit are burned in the Forge-style structures like the Sweet Shop, Bonfire, and even the Forge. These structures are different from other manufacturing structures. A bar that grows as you pour materials into them. Each tier filled up gives you the resources they make. In a way, they burn out after three tiers, and then they need to be restrained for a few minutes or so. This is probably because the operator has to put out the fire you started by overusing them.
This is an example: The Forge makes iron bars by heating iron ore. You can fill the bars with small bits of ore and larger bits of ore that you find when you mine rocks and other things like that. Large materials should always be used first, then small materials should be used at the end. That way, you don't end up with a lot of extra material, which wastes some of the material you just used.
To keep your speed ups, save fertiliser!
Dry Ice, Hourglasses, and Fertilizer are some of the items in the game that can help you move faster. If you want to finish a task right away, don't use more than one.
The best thing for animals is to wait until they are almost done with them, so they can use them as energy packs, or on animals that take a long time to make their goods. Most of all, when you need to use the last bottle of milk to fill an order
In addition, you should keep in mind that it is best to use Hourglasses on your most advanced animal: Chickens only give out 3 energy every time their energy runs low. They also make Eggs very quickly, so you don't want to waste any Hourglasses trying to speed them up.
As for dry ice, most of the time you won't need to use them very much at first, especially if you play in short spurts. It takes a lot less time to fill your Energy bar while you're away from your tablet than it does to cool down Dry Ice structures. Most of the time, you only need to use the Forge-like structures when you need them.
As for fertiliser, only use it on crops that you can't wait for, especially if you just want to finish a hard order to get some EXP. When you use fertiliser on grains, peas, and grass, you are wasting it. Waste of time.
It also doesn't make sense to use gems to speed up any kind of production. You'll need them for heated crop beds, which make twice as many crops in the same amount of time as a normal crop bed does. Heck, even Dynamite is a better deal, even though it's a bad deal all things being equal.
Not at all!
The game lets you sell things you have in your inventory. Not at all. Keep all the branches, wood, and rocks you've found. You might want to sell them, but you'll need them later on.
The number of coins isn't worth how much money you can make by filling orders for a while, or how much money you can make by melting down Gold nuggets. Make sure to keep some of these materials in your pack for when you need them to build things or complete quests.
Keep The Factories Close
Try to keep your structures in order and close to each other as much as you can. Because there are a lot of bushes blocking the way, you can't fit all of them on one screen at the start. But try to keep several structures in view at all times.
Keep your farm beds together so you can plant everything with a flick of the finger, then cut them down with your scythe when the harvest is ready. This is very important.
It might be a good idea to divide your farm into different parts. You can plant crops together in one area with your Farmbeds, and Greenhouses. There is another area for food processing, like the Dairy, next to the crop farm, and there is a Feed Mill next to the animal pens, which you can't change. That way, you know where to go right away based on the task at hand.
A single-stage structure is the first thing you should think about
People who have been exploring and clearing Sunrise Village will see a section on top of the materials needed to build a building that tells them how many stages it needs to go through before it's done. This means that if a structure only needs one step to finish, then make that structure your first goal.
That way, you can use its service right away, which could help you build the more difficult structures you've found. If that doesn't work, you should look at each structure one by one, focusing on the ones that make construction materials when they're available. Make sure not to be surprised when a food processing structure asks for materials that you can't make yourself, then!
No! Denied! Go Away!
Eventually, you may get Market orders that ask you to buy things you haven't built yet. Don't leave them there. Instead, throw them away! While you're building a structure to make that material, focus on the orders you can make now, until the structure is done.
That way, your levelling stays the same and you keep levelling up as you play the game. Refreshing an order that has been cancelled only takes 30 minutes. Making a new structure can take a lot longer because you have to look for the right materials and build it. You don't want an order that can't be filled to take up space for so long. If all your orders are bad, don't be afraid to try to fix them all and wait for your Energy bar to fill up.
Along with taking care of Sunrise Village and clearing it of debris, you'll go on a quest to find the Magic Stones you need to get rid of the thorns and fog once and for all. The more obstacles you clear and complete your tasks, the more loot and treasures you'll find. These can help you get Sunrise Village back to working order. Here are some tips for adventure and how to use your energy.
Isn't Sure Where the Money Is What should I do before this?
Treasures may be hidden behind bushes, obstacles, trees, and even your own newly opened structures. Be it a box, vase, or a vial of Stamina, if it even looks like a container at all, grab it! It might have energy, food, or other things inside that you can use to help you.
If you tap the Challenges button on the bottom left of your screen, then tap the challenge that asks you to look for loot, the game will be very helpful. Make sure you don't use this method in Sunrise Village because the village doesn't have a challenge button. This only works for Adventure maps.
Walk For Boxes
There's no point in having the treasures marked out if there is a lot of junk in the way. For the treasures you can reach, walk your character very close to them. This will show them in a speech bubble even if you can't see them in person (Like a treasure hiding behind the sign around the Dockyard in Sunrise Village).
There, just tap the speech bubble and take the things. As a way to move your character more precisely, zoom in. In Sunrise, you can also use this to look for places that might be dangerous.
Priorities that are important in the real world
With cloudy side paths, you have a few things to think about when you break through: This means that you can choose a path that has the materials you need or a cheaper path that is only blocked by a few smaller things. If you don't have a lot of things to build right now and just want to finish a quest as quickly as possible, you can take the cheaper route.
Then again, if you're short on wood and need to build a lot of new buildings, it might be worth going through all those rocks and trees. This goes along with the next tip, which means you don't have to guess.
Tipoff in the Clouds
As soon as you tap on a clouded area, you'll see a lot of obstacles all at the same time. In most cases, knocking down the highlighted obstacles should clear the fog, so long as the fog is close to where you tapped. This is because you can't just tap very far into the fog and expect it to be easy to clean up. But even though the obstacles that are shown don't show the cheapest way to open the area, they do show the fastest way to get there by walking.
This feature is still very useful, though: If you don't like the obstacles that are shown, you can move your character to a place where you think you'll get a better suggestion. Instead of rocks and trees, what if you were facing some small bushes rather than rocks and trees? To get a cheaper map reveal, you don't have to cut down trees, rocks, and bushes with no idea which will open up that part of the map.
You can also move your character in a way that makes the things you need stand out. This way, you get the wood and quartz you need and clear the fog in that area at the same time. So, of course, your energy bar will get a little dented. But, what can you do?
It was very important to pay close attention to the Quests at the start of the game
First, don't go around destroying everything in your way. In order to remove obstacles, you'll need a lot of energy. You'll need to save your energy for finishing Quests, so you'll need to remove only the obstacles you need to open the Sweet Shop quickly.
The Sweet Shop turns food like Berries into Energy, so you can explore more quickly instead of having to wait for your stamina bar to fill up all the time. With the Sweet Shop, you can start gathering resources and clearing your home more quickly.
In The Map, Take It Slow and Steady!
Once you enter a new map, the old map will be locked for 24 hours. Before you leave for the next map, make the most of the one you have, even if you don't like it. Any map that has an energy-producing structure or something else that makes certain resources easier to get: This is true even if the map doesn't have these things. The map will close and you won't be able to use it after that. Make sure you look around the map for the materials the thing needs and work on it until it can't be used any more.
There are so many energy and resources on the map that you want to get out of it as much as possible. To check if you've done all the challenges on a map, you can tap the lower left of the screen when you're in an Adventure map. What looks like a bunch of rocks is the button.
Things to keep in mind that don't fit into any of the above categories, or that have enough overlap with each other that they deserve their own place.
In bursts, play
In terms of how long energy bars are, your stamina bar only has 60 energy, but it recharges pretty quickly. It takes 90 seconds per unit of energy to recharge. You can play the game for hours on end, but it doesn't charge quickly enough.
You'll play this game in short bursts, planning how to use your energy, gathering resources for a while, and then leaving the game for a few hours or so. You'll come back to the game an hour or two later. Even in the beginning, when you can't open the Sweet Shop, which is your main source of energy during the game, this is important.
There is a good way to tell when it's time to log off: When your crops have grown past peas, grain, or grass. There's still a lot you can do even if you're low on energy. You can grind out Orders and farm grains and peas for EXP and coins, and when you level up, you get more energy.
As soon as you run out of more advanced crops like corn and sugarcane, it's time to leave and plant some slow crops. Wait for the energy bar to fill up, then come back when it does.
As long as you keep your animals fed, you'll eventually have a lot of the materials they need. This is true even if you run out of animal food at first.
Join A Team
Teams, this game's version of Guilds, are at first just a place to talk to other people. It lets you get into the Exploration Tower, though. You can help your team with Exploration quests when you finish this. When you do, you'll get access to a new map area with loot and resources you can take and gather. It's possible to get Exploration points by doing things on the Exploration map, which then gives you different things.
