Idyll Isle runs in a slim, transparent window above your taskbar and never covers your work. While you work, study, or watch videos, the island keeps going at the bottom of the screen. A glance now and then to adjust your plans is all it takes.
The 2.0 major free update is out now, adding aid for the Veil Archipelago, island-wide power, Autumnwood Manor, and over two hundred pieces of furniture.
Islanders work on their own according to their trade: they farm, chop wood, fish, mine, and cook. You assign the work, plan where facilities go, and upgrade their tools. As the island grows, you can send expedition parties out to sea in search of collectibles, then build the Echo and sail past the Veiltide to the Veil Archipelago.
Start with a single wheat field and build up a full production chain. Crops and catches become meals at the Kitchen, ore is smelted into ingots and forged into tools at the Blacksmith Shop, and timber and stone bricks go into new facilities. Later on come island-wide power, Sprinklers, the Deep Drill, and the Tree Nursery, and flowers, mushrooms, and herbs can be turned into dried goods, expedition potions, and perfumes. With dozens of crops, recipes, ores, and catches, how they link into supply lines is up to you.
Buildings such as Farm Plots, Water Wells, Storage, Kitchens, Animal Pens, Blacksmith Shops, Gem Workshops, and Trading Posts can be placed anywhere on land. Layout affects efficiency: build Storage near a work area and islanders spend less time walking. Repair broken bridges, abandoned railways, and derelict facilities to open new areas with more fields, waters, and ore veins.
Every trade has its own tools: sickles, buckets, axes, fishing rods, hammers, and spatulas. Tool quality sets work efficiency. A better sickle harvests more cleanly, and a better rod comes up empty less often. At the Blacksmith Shop, smelted ingots become new tools, from Primitive up to Advanced, with a fourth tier of Master tools later on. Accessories such as boots and gloves add further bonuses.
Wild animals appear on the island. Feed and tame them, and they move into Animal Pens to produce eggs, milk, and wool. Pair them to breed, and the offspring inherit their parents' quality. Repairing the Lighthouse opens trade routes, and Trading Post caravans carry goods out to sell and bring back the supplies you order.
Recruit adventurers at the Expedition Tavern, form a party, and follow the routes the Lighthouse lights up, across seven sea regions of rising danger. Compare your party's power with each sea's danger before setting out, because an underpowered party may come back empty-handed. Farther seas hold rarer finds, such as the Coastal Seashell, Weathered Compass, Abyssal Coral, and Tempest Lodestone, all recorded in the Codex, and the depths of the Veiltide also yield blueprints for Treasured furniture.
Once the island prospers, the Shipyard on the shore can be put back to work. Gather Premium Boards, Sail Canvas, a Nautical Chart, and voyage supplies to build the Echo and sail past the Veiltide. Beyond it, five derelict islands remain in the Veil Archipelago, and your own island's output builds housing and facilities for them. The Freighter carries building materials, balloons carry staples and daily goods, and people adrift at sea come ashore to settle. As the islands prosper, merchants from afar return to live on your island and bring the Glass Greenhouse, Master tools, and new production lines.
Once the last island prospers, the royal court sends you the deed and the key to Autumnwood Manor, west of the Lighthouse. The manor has one floor above ground and one below, both free to decorate. Over two hundred pieces of furniture come from blueprints bought with coins, expeditions, fishing, and drifting bottles, and some form sets. A cat and a dog also arrive as the archipelago develops.
The Echo Stele on the shore records the island's past and the background of each islander. Once the Lighthouse is lit, merchants from afar begin to visit, and their letters gradually reveal the forgotten history of these waters.
