THE VILLAGE

Here is a list of all of the places you can go to in this game and
a few things that you can do in those places.

Your Ranch:

Your Ranch Consists Of :
Your House, A Chicken Coop, A Chicken Feed Silo, A Fish Pond, A Horse
Stable, A Barn, A Wood Stack, and a lot of space for planting.

In your house:
Without any extensions you have: A Bed, A Bookshelf (for configuration,)
A Diary, A Television, and A Toolbox.

The Bed: Somehow I don't think I need to describe what the bed does.
When you get the fourth extension you get two separate beds (one for you
and one for your wife to share with the baby.)

The Bookshelf:
If you are unhappy with the controls and the way your character moves
forward you can change it so he moves differently by clicking on the
shelves and choosing the kind of walking that you want.

The Diary: Can be used to save your game and make your character go to
sleep. It is also great for exchanging animals with. I mention a cheat
regarding trading animals which will get you a lot of money and animals
in Chapter Seven: Part A - Cheats And Tips For H.M.B.T.N.

The Kitchen: Once your house has been upgraded three times you will get
a kitchen. You can cook meals here (unlike in some of the Harvest Moon
games.) Cooking is a great way to get character's to like you more.

The Television: Has four channels. There's a news channel that tells you
about the special events, a weather channel, a static channel, and an
entertainment channel (which is also the channel that the shopping channel
changes to on Saturday but only if you have enlarged your house so
that you have a kitchen.) On the entertainment channel you can learn things
to do with your farming.

The Toolbox: Whenever you order a tool and your tool inventory section
is full it will be put in the toolbox. Also at the start of the game all
your tools will be put in the toolbox.

In The Chicken Coop:
You can hold up to 5 chicken's or 10 if you extend your chicken coop.

The Chicken Feed Silo:
Is a good way of getting chicken feed if the poultry farm is closed.
The chicken feed silo looks like a windmill. Put corn into the windmill
(don't stand too far away when putting it in or the game will think
you're trying to throw the corn at the actual windmill and not to put
anything in.) One piece of corn gives you 10 lots of chicken feed.

The Fish Pond:
You can put fish in here. As long as you feed them they will breed and
grow. This is also a good spot for filling up your watering can. To
see the special events that can happen with the fish pond go to Greg's
section in Chapter Two: Part B - The Other Villagers.

Horse Stable:
In the first Spring you can get a horse. It's stable is good for when
it is raining but otherwise you should just let it roam around. In the
hints and cheats section I wrote a cheat that will let you get another
horse if your first horse is taken away.

In The Barn:
You can hold up to 10 animals but when you get the extension you can
have 20 animals (cows and sheep.) It is best to leave your cows and
sheep outside (if you have planted quite a bit of full grown fodder)
so that they don't use up your fodder supply too quickly. If it is
raining put them inside immediately. It is hard to take your animals
inside or outside and the bell will help you with this. I personally
don't bother taking my animals outside and just fill about a quarter
of my farming soil with grass.

The Wood Stack:
It's a little box which the wood that you cut automatically goes into.
Just press the X button when you're near it and you'll be able to take
wood out. You can use the wood for expansions and fences to keep the
wild dogs away from your animals.

Your Village

Blacksmiths:
This is where Saibara and Gray live. Saibara can: upgrade your tools,
sell you the machines (cheese maker, mayonnaise maker, and yarn ball
maker) and make you girls gifts (basically EVERYONE loves girls gifts.)
It's open from 10 - 4 (closed Thursdays.)

Winery:
Manna, and Duke live here. Manna can sell you wine, or grape juice
between 9 - 12 AM (closed Saturdays.)

Library:
Mary works here every day from 10 - 5 except on Mondays. You can read
information about the village from Basil's books or read Mary's fiction
books about things like space adventures, and a boy with a stubborn
grandpa *COUGH yes very fiction COUGH.* She is the easiest girl to
find. Joined to the library is the home of Basil, Anna, and Mary.

Ellen's House:
Elli, Ellen, and Stu live here. Ellen never leaves unless there is a
wedding. You can enter this house between 9 - 5.

Mayor's House:
The mayor, Harris, and Kano all live here. You can read Harris's patrol
diary which never changes even if you get the special crime case cut
scenes with him. You can enter this house between 9 - 5.

The Supermarket:
Karen, Sasha, and Jeff live in the building joined to the supermarket.
In the supermarket you can buy: oil, flour, rice balls, curry powder,
bread, all of the seeds (except the ones Won sells,) fish feed, rucksack
extensions, wrapping paper, and the blue feather (once a girl has an
orange heart for you.) The supermarket is open from 9 - 5 unless it
is a Tuesday, or Sunday.

The Clinic:
The Doctor lives upstairs. Downstairs you can buy medicine. You can
usually find Elli here unless it is a Wednesday in which case the clinic
is closed. It's open from 9 - 4.

The Church:
Confess here if you wish. Carter always hangs around here unless it is
a festival. Cliff mainly hangs out here when he first arrives at the
village.

The Elves House:
This is behind the church. The elves always hang out here except possibly
on evaluation. If you're lucky they could give you tea leaves (see Elves
in the character section.)

The Beach:
This is the only place that you can find Greg. It is the place for some of
the festivals. There is a jetty that you can fish off.

The Square:
This is where most of the festivals are held. At 1 Anna, Sasha, and
Manna visit here. You can also sometimes bump into the mayor in this
area.

The Green Ranch:
This is where Barley, and May live. Here you can buy: fodder, a cow, a
sheep, animal medicine, a miracle potion, and a cow bell. You can buy
things here from about 11 - 4 except Mondays.

The Poultry Farm:
This is the home of Lillia, Popuri, and Rick. You can buy: chickens,
and chicken feed here. Lillia never leaves the poultry farm except
for when she sometimes goes to the clinic because she is so sick. You
can buy things here from 12 - 4 unless it's Sunday.

The Woodcutter's:
This is the place you go to get extensions. The woodcutter, and Louis
live here.

The Hot Spring:
Here you can take a dip in the hot spring to bring back your stamina.
You can also make spa boiled eggs from throwing an egg into one (as
long as you stand at one of the places where the gate doesn't surround
the hot spring.) There is a waterfall beside here which is the goddess
pond. Behind the waterfall there is the mine which is accessible in all
of the seasons (but which you shouldn't bother going to in Winter
because there is the Winter Mine.)

Winter Mine:
The Winter Mine is the mine by the pond up the mountain you can only
access it in Winter because that is when the pond freezes over so you
can reach it. "What's so special about the Winter Mine?" you ask. It is
easier to find ore in this mine.
Also the crystal like mineral used for making girls gifts can only be
found in this winter mine. There is also a green/aqua mineral used
for making your yarn ball, mayonnaise, and cheese maker that can only
be found in this mine.
After climbing down ten ladders you will find a cave at the side of
this mine. In the cave you can fish for one of the, 'legendary fish.'
There is also a rumour (which I think is very false because I have
tried unsuccessfully MANY, MANY times) about being able to fish for a
power berry here.
Here is a pointless trick when in the secret cave of the Winter mine:
You can dunk your watering can into the water of this mine and it will
be able to hold endless amounts of water, "what's so pointless about
that trick?" you ask. Well unfortunately the endless water is only in
the cave. Once you exit the cave the watering can will once again run
out of water when you use it.

The Flower Patch:
This is what I call the patch of flowers up the mountain.

The Top Of The Mountain:
There are certain festivals that you can do at the top of the
mountain.
