Island Sanctuary Comprehensive Guide v5.0
Quote:
Players from overseas generally enjoy content at their own pace, but Japanese players have this tendency to do any task if they see it and try to optimise their methods of doing them.

Welcome to v5.0 of the Island Sanctuary Comprehensive Guide! Created by Leiton Grey with the assistance of the research team at Poking Paradise, it covers everything that the Island Sanctuary has to offer as of patch 6.2.
For the uninitiated, this guide contains the following:
- Rank EXP requirements and rewards
- Gathering item locations and tips
- Cropland information
- Pasture and rare animal spawn information
- Pasture calculator and checklist for your own island's needs
- All building and renovation requirements
- All Tool, Feed, and Restraint materials
- Stockpiling Presets if you need to build up resources while making some income
- Handy tips and tricks for every facet of the island
- And the piece de resistance: ✨ The Workshop Solver ✨
Version 5 brings a complete overhaul to both the visuals and backend of the Workshop Solver. We have found a way to solve for every viable workshop agenda in a simple and user-friendly way. The freshly-recorded Youtube Tutorial offers a step-by-step guide on how to fill out the sheet, how to read the results, and how to curate the data into the best set of recommendations that we can offer. Where before the sheet was operating at ~80% efficiency due to Google Sheet's limitations, Xurkane and I have since broken Google Sheets and subjected it to our will. 3-craft, 4-craft, and 5-craft agendas are now all fully supported, with robust prediction systems that make things far more reliable. You should find the spreadsheet matching the Poking Paradise recommendations most, if not ALL of the time now!
