As much as I like to pretend Coral Island is a dating sim, the main objective in the game is to transform your overgrown land into a flourishing farm. To achieve this, you’ll need to make key decisions about which crops to cultivate.

There are many ways to make the most of your farm on Coral Island. You can sell crops, use them to complete quests or gift them to NPCs. Your crops play a central role in your farming journey. Because there are so many farming games, grasping farming mechanics varies from one game to the next. In this guide, I’ll go over everything you need to know about farming in Coral Island.

How to Upgrade Farming Tools in Coral Island

Your farming journey begins with a set of starter tools. You can upgrade them over time at the blacksmith‘s shop for a bit of gold and a couple of ores. With better tools, tasks will consume less and less stamina. The essential tools for farming are:

• Hoe: Used to till the soil.
• Scythe: Ideal for clearing grass and harvesting specific crops.
• Watering Can: Necessary for hydrating your crops. It can be refilled at the nearby pond.

The most exhausting task by far is watering. However, you can craft sprinklers to automate the watering process. Crafting a couple of scarecrows won’t hurt either, as they will keep crows at bay. I’m not kidding; they will literally eat your crops.

Is Fertilizer Worth it in Coral Island?

Fertilizer increases the quality of crops in Coral Island. Better quality crops sell for a higher price, so this is something we want.

However, they can be a bit expensive in the early game. The best thing you can do here is craft them with 20x Wood, 5x Trash, and 5x Sap. These are all materials you can gather while cleaning your farm plot.

Coral Island offers a wide array of crops, flowers, fruit plants, and fruit trees for you to grow on your farm. With over 75 different options to choose from, you’ll have the freedom to experiment with classics and exotic varieties. Each crop has a specific season in which it can grow, such as spring, summer, fall, or winter. Most crops will wither at the end of their respective season.
