House upgrades, bag space and storage

Four house tiers, two bag upgrades, three chest sizes, and the rule that lets crafting pull materials from storage.

The four house upgrades

All four are bought from Ryis at Carpenter's Shop, and every one of them is applied the moment you pay. There is no construction time and no builder to wait for.

Only the last one has a prerequisite: you need the third upgrade already built and the quest that rebuilds the carpenter’s shop completed.

The second floor also needs a way up, which is sold separately. House Ladder is 1,000g, House Stairs is crafted at woodcrafting level 10 from 50 Hard Wood, and Teleportation Circle costs 8,000g at Wheedle's Stall if you would rather not give up the floor space. Once the upstairs exists, Ryis will also restyle the outside of the house for 5,000g.

Marriage and children have no house-tier requirement. A proposal requires ten hearts, an engagement ring and an existing relationship. The romance page has the full requirements.

Getting past ten inventory slots

You start with ten, and there are exactly two upgrades, both at General Store and both worth +10 slots:

• Bag Upgrade, 1,000g, in stock from the beginning
• A second one, 2,000g, which appears once the general store has been rebuilt

Thirty slots is the ceiling. There is no third pouch, no renown reward and no other route, so plan your storage around thirty rather than hoping for more later.

Which chest to build

Chests come in exactly three capacities, and the cheapest one is available from your very first day.

Slots	Where it comes from
30	Basic Wood Chest: 30 Wood at woodcrafting level 4, and you already know the recipe. One colour is also on the shelf at General Store for 250g
42	Stone Storage Chest and a few others, all crafted; the stone one wants 50 Stone, 2 Copper Ingot and 2 Monster Fang at woodcrafting 10
54	Deluxe Storage Chest at 10,000g from Wheedle's Stall, the only chest of that size sold directly by a shop. The craftable 54-slot chests sit at woodcrafting 38 and above

A Shipping Bin holds 30 and follows different rules from the storage chests described below.

For most of a playthrough, basic wood chests are the practical choice. Thirty wood for thirty slots is by far the best ratio in the game, and the expensive chests buy you floor space rather than capacity.

Crafting from storage

Crafting pulls ingredients from your bag and every chest you own, anywhere on the map.

There is no distance limit. A recipe checks your inventory first, then every chest you have placed, wherever it is, and takes what it needs. You never have to carry materials to the station.

Two qualifications:

• It is on by default for every chest you place, and each chest has its own toggle if you want to keep one aside.
• Shipping bins are excluded, as is the donation box at a construction site. Nothing you put in a shipping bin will be quietly consumed by a recipe.

Chests also have a manual sort button and can each be given a category icon, which helps once you have more than three or four. The game has no automatic sorting or quick-stack, so items move between containers only when you move them.

Raising your maximum stamina and health

Stamina and health both start at 100. Consumables raise their maximum values; buildings and perks do not.

Stamina Up adds +20 maximum stamina permanently. Seven of them exist and all seven are town rank rewards, one at each rank from level 10 through level 70, taking you from 100 to 240. They are not sold anywhere and no quest gives one.

Heart Crystal adds +20 maximum health the same way. Five come from story cutscenes along the seal questline, taking you from 100 to 200.

Since every point of stamina is one more tile you can till, and a charged mistril tool costs 54 in a single swing, the town rank track is effectively a tool-efficiency track too. What each renown level pays is on the skills page alongside the perks it unlocks.

Farm buildings work differently

Coops, barns and greenhouses are not bought finished. You buy a blueprint at Carpenter's Shop, place a construction site on your farm, drop the materials into the box that appears there, and the building goes up immediately.

Greenhouses are the expensive options. They allow planting in every season, though their crops still need water. Watering, seasons and sprinklers explains the rules, and the greenhouse guide has layouts. The ranch animals page lists each building’s animal capacity and feed type.
