How To Get Farm Buildings For Animals

Coral Island: Buying farm buildings from the Carpenter

Before you can have any farm animals, you must first build them a place to live. You’ll need to gather the required materials and gold, then visit Dinda the Carpenter to purchase the farm buildings you want.

Building	Materials	Price
Coop Level 1	100 Wood 50 Stone 5 Bronze Bars 10 Fiber	2,000g
Barn Level 1	200 Wood 100 Stone 5 Bronze Bar 10 Fiber	3,000g
Stable	50 Scrap 200 Stone 5 Silver Bars	15,000g

Each building will take two game days to complete, and then you can buy your animals.

While you’re working on getting your farm buildings, we highly recommend
building a silo
as soon as you can. It can
store up to 300 hay
and connects directly to your coop and barn through a hopper. To build one you’ll need
20 Scrap
,
300 Stone
,
two Resin
, and
2,500 gold
.

As you begin collecting animals, leveling up in your Ranching skill, and increasing the town’s rank, soon it’ll be time to upgrade your farm buildings so you can buy more animals.

To upgrade your barn or coop, go to the Carpenter again and select Edit Farm Buildings. Choose which one you want to upgrade, then select the upgrade option. Once you have the required materials, purchase the upgrade, and in two game days, you’ll have your upgraded building.

Here’s what you’ll need to upgrade your barn and coop:

Building	Materials	Price
Coop Level 2	20 Hardwood 50 Stone 10 Fiber	4,500g
Barn Level 2	40 Hardwood 100 Stone 10 Fiber	6,500g

How To Get Animals

Coral Island: buying animals from the ranch

Once you have a coop, barn, or stable ready, head to Jack at the Ranch to purchase the animals you want.

At the beginning of the game, you’ll only be able to buy three animals, provided you have the necessary housing for them:

Animal	Price	Housing	Produce
Cows	2,500g (adult)	Barn 1	Milk or Large Milk
Chickens	600g (adult)	Coop 1	Egg or Large Egg
Horse	15,000g	Stable	N/A

A horse allows you to travel easily around the island, but
you can only have one
. After your purchase, the horse is
removed from the available list of animals
.

As you increase the town rating you’ll unlock more animals to add to your farm.

Coral Island: Other animals to buy from Ranch

How To Care For Animals

Once the animals are on your farm, you will need to feed them daily and pet them to keep them happy.

The happier the animal is, the more likely it will produce larger and better quality products.

You can get hay by cutting grass with your scythe, but you can also buy hay from Jack at the Ranch, along with a few other things that will help with taking care of your animals:

Item	Cost	Use
Hay	30g	Feed this to your animals.
Milk pail	300g	Use this to collect milk from cows and goats.
Shears	400g	Available when you unlock sheep. Use this to shear wool from sheep or llamas.
Animal Medicine	300g	If your animal ever gets sick, give them this.
Animal Whistle	500g	Use this to call an animal to your side.
Temperature machine	600g	Put this in your Coop or Barn to regulate the temperature.

To see how happy your animals are, go to the back of the coop or barn and look at the Animal Book. It’ll show you the happiness level for each animal in that building.

How To Get Ranching Upgrades

Coral Island: Buying advanced equipment recipes from Ling

Once you get your town rank up to E, you’ll unlock recipes to buy from Ling at the Lab for advanced equipment that’ll make caring for your animals much easier.

Go to the Lab and select Develop Equipment. The recipes you can buy for your animals are:

Equipment	Price	Materials

Mayonnaise Machine
Cheese Press
Mason Jar (Butter and Salted Eggs)
