So I started Coral Island yesterday, and am about halfway through spring and let me tell you I am CONFUSED. And a bit underwhelmed. I don't usually need games to hold my hand but I feel like either I need more guidance on how to progress or the beginning is the slowest I've ever seen in a game. I've got a few quests, none of which are achievable short term. And then there's the cryptic hints that never get mentioned again. One morning I got showed the hotsprings, but I went and nothing happened. I got told to heal them by a pillar but only god knows how. Am I supposed to just tend to my crops for a couple months and go to bed at noon? What is happening. I gotta make offerings, but where? Only at the goddess lake? I swear somewhere it said to make offerings to an ancient tree but again. I have no idea how or where.
I'm kind of just trying to grow crops, clear the ocean and get further down the mines which is hard without food, so my days end way too soon.

As expected in the beginning, my stamina runs out so quickly. However I can't really refill it. I can't cook and the meals at the tavern are SO expensive, so I've just been eating flowers and shells like a maniac. Which I don't really want to do as I'd rather sell them to level up. Should I go for the house upgrade with the kitchen asap?

How do I level up the different skills? By selling my foraged / farmed stuff? Bc it seems the levels only go up if I sell stuff.

I have to ship bronze quality veg and fruit, now the veg are no problem but fruit? From what I can tell I don't even have access to fruit trees until I improve the town rank.. so I just have to ignore this quest now?

How tf do I catch the quick butterflies? Will I be able to unlock items or skills to help with those or do I just go about it wrong?

I feel like I'm doing everything out of order, and it's SO frustrating right now, would love some tipps on how to proceed! ✌️💕

||have you interacted with the sacred trees?||

You should be able to forage some fruits which I do believe you can get bronze quality when you pick them up. And you get access to items and upgrades and skills to your net that make it easier to catch the quick bugs

I feel this genre of game is like this in most cases. They'll give you the basics here and there but a lot you slowly have to figure out or look for answers from the community or online.

Now I'm not far at all in this game only day 3, but I already assume I'm going to run into quests or even festivals that I won't be able to do any progress on till say year 2 due to not having the right materials, seeds etc.

As for the food issue I usually just forage for things in the beginning of these games and try and find seeds that are cheap and grow in 3 or 4 days and buy a bunch so sell half and use half for stam.

I know it's hard in the early game with the stamina but 🤞 hopefully that ends up helping. I'd also recommend diving more but that's also rough that first spring

For the stamina issue, i think you can make candied tree seeds. It refills quite a lot of stamina.
You can shake some trees if you run out of seeds

There is an app in the apple store that also might be helpful to you its just a fan made guide

The last news I heard direct was that the app steals data from https://coral.guide (& bc the app has adds it by default makes money vs the original guide is completely free & ad free)

Bc of this/ until this changes, I won’t be using the app.
