How To Make Money in Pixonic’s Robinson
You’ll need a lot of coins to complete missions, since they’ll all require you to buy animals, crops, buildings and so forth. Later on, you’ll want money to buy island decor to attract butterflies for that goal. Here are some good ways to make money:
- Purchase a Monkey for 2640 coins, feed it twice, and then sell the full grown Monkey for 4400 coins.
- Buy Peanuts at 570 coins, harvest two days later for 880 coins.
- Buy Pineapples at 720 coins, harvest three days later for 1200 coins.
These will all take some time, so it’s best to keep cycling through these to make sure you always have cash on hand. It’s also a good idea to spend any available cash on Pineapples and Peanuts, so it’s earning you more coins and not just sitting there.
Rare Items in Robinson
These items are essential for progress, but often give players trouble. Here’s a guide to finding difficult and rare items!
An Axe
Getting an axe can be quite confusing and difficult. To get an axe, you need to build one in your workshop. To get a workshop, you need boards, that you get from chopping down trees with your axe.
You’ll need a Workpiece, which is found randomly in a Hut, and 5 Whetstones for an Axe Butt. Whetstones can be found, at a low rate, when clearing rocks.
You’ll also need an Axe Handle, which can be found in the Treehouse or when clearing grass.
Put the Axe Handle and Axe Butt together in your Workshop.
Fire
Fire is required for Lens, a Pickaxe, and many other useful things. You can get this as the reward from the Sheep collection. This is a pretty economical way to keep yourself in a supply of Fire, just buy a few sheep and feed them, and stock up on Fire whenever you complete this collection.
Lens
You’ll need an improved treehouse to craft this item for the mission. Then, you’ll need sand and fire. You can get sand from digging or from the Monkey Collection. Fire comes from matches, or from the Sheep Collection. I think it’s more economical to buy and raise Sheep than to look for matches.
Pounder
You’ll need this to make the medicine for Little Raccoon. In theory this can be found in clearing flowers. I have never found one this way. You can get this by spending totems, or asking friends.
Smoky Leaves
In theory, these are found by clearing bushes. I’m at level 12, er, 19 and haven’t found one yet, and a quick Google of this game turns up lots of other players who haven’t found any, either. Looks like another way that Robinson will force you to buy totems or add friends to keep playing, since you can’t access very much without tribe members, and you can’t get tribe members without smoky leaves and matches
Water Bottles
These are required for the mission “Packing For The Road”. Unfortunately, the only way to get these is to ask friends or pay totems. You’ll need to pay 15 totems for the required 15 water bottles to complete this quest chain.
