Energy

• Energy is critical as you will need it to tend to your chores around your and your Neighbor's Homesteads.
• Most tasks deduct 1 Energy point to complete but some such as clobbering Snakes and bears take 2 each time.
• You may have to click on items several times to complete a chore. For example to chop a tree you may have to click on it 2 to 4 times before it is totally chopped down. You will receive coins, XP and bonus wood for each chop.
• The only task that does not deduct from your energy reserves is planting crops. Harvesting or pulling withered crops will cost 1 energy Point as well as all other chores around the Homestead.
• The energy meter is located at the top center of the game screen.
• You will start the game with a maximum of 10 energy.
• Energy points regenerate at a rate of 1 point every 5 minutes up to your Maximum.
• As you level up the maximum amount of energy you can hold is increased at intervals.
• Food is energy! Gift food to your Neighbors and encourage them to do the same for you.
• If you are doing chores on your Homestead and run out of energy you are at a standstill until you can get more. There are many ways to get more energy fast when you run out. (See below)
• When you do chores you will see pieces of cherry pie occasionally. Click on these as they are food points that can be used to purchase larger meals for energy points.
• You may also see a lightning bolt when you do chores. These represent actual energy points immediately credited to your account for use. (Very valuable)
• Be sure to post any energy bonuses on the live feeds so your Neighbors will do so as well.
• If you are careful you can continuously play the game without too much lag time.
