Villagers are named NPCs who move into your Homestead as it grows. Once your houses reach the levels they require, each villager settles in and periodically delivers a small gift basket of Items on the shared game clock — a passive trickle of food, herbs and materials with no upkeep.

How villagers work

  • A villager moves in automatically once the required house structure reaches the required level — there is nothing to manage; their presence follows directly from your housing.
  • Each resident villager delivers a surprise basket every 6 hours of game time: two items picked at random from that villager's menu.
  • Raising their house widens the menu and the amounts. New menu items unlock as the villager's house passes levels 12, 20, and 35, and quantities scale up with house level to a ×4 cap. The Homestead card shows each villager's current menu, so you can see exactly what another house level buys you.
  • Baskets arrive on a shared timer (offline included), so building the house chain steadily grows your passive gift income.

The villagers

Each villager's menu below lists every possible basket item and the house level it unlocks at (⭐ = a high-tier addition). A delivery is two of these, at random, in amounts that grow with house level.

Villager Moves in when Menu (item — unlocks at house level)
Maru the Cook Thatch Hut level 3 Roasted Meat (3), Berry Skewer (3), Salted Meat (12), Bean Stew (20), ⭐ Angler Stew (35)
Tilda the Herbalist Timber Lodge level 3 Glowcap (3), Fern Poultice (3), Wild Honey (12), Swift Forager Tonic (20), ⭐ Ironhide Tonic (35), ⭐ Sunpetal Resin (35)
Bren the Quartermaster Stone House level 3 Stone (3), Cycad Log (3), Iron Ore (12), Rope (20), ⭐ Iron Ingot (35)

Because each villager is tied to a later house in the chain, they arrive in order as you build up from the Thatch Hut through the Timber Lodge to the Stone House. Tilda even trickles the forge material Sunpetal Resin once her lodge reaches level 35 (see Blueprints).

  • Homestead — the house structures that invite villagers in
  • Items — the goods delivered in gift baskets
