Qbio Guide (Mechanics, Instruments, Blocks, Seeds, Water objects, Stone objects, Events, Skills, Perks and Local achievements)

About cells.

At the beginning of the game, you can choose any of the three game cells. The cell will automatically save the progress when you exit to the main menu or when you exit the game. The progress of the three cells is added to the total game score (top right corner of the main menu). You can develop all three cells in parallel. After you visit any of the cells, it will be considered busy. You can clear the progress of the cell with a shovel (at the bottom of the menu), this will not be reflected in the general progress of the game. All general progress can be reset in the “Total score” menu.

About time.

The game knows what time it is. Landscapes change depending on the real time of day, but this is only an artistic trick, it does not affect the mechanics of the game.

About plants.

All plants in the game continue to grow, even if you exit the game, are in the menu, or switch to the game in another game slot. This rule also applies to some objects such as the Solar Panel and Water Lily.
Note: while you are away, crows will not touch the harvest, but chests will not catch stars for you.

About the philosophy of the game.

The low information content of the game interface is mainly associated with the author’s attempt to push the player to independently explore the gameplay. This is an attempt that carries the following message: “Everything worthwhile in our life comes to us at a great price.”

Hand.

You can use your hand to drag blocks and seeds from the shopping bar. You can harvest crops, catch coins and stars, and chase away crows. It is the main element of control and interaction with in-game objects.

Shovel.

The shovel can dig out all objects from any blocks.
Note: digging objects with a shovel will only give you experience.

Pickaxe

With a pickaxe you can destroy any blocks.
Note: the destruction of blocks does not return the money spent on them.

Water bucket.

With this bucket, you can draw water from any waterblock (even if there is an object on it) and water the plant to shorten its growth time.

The working surface of the blocks is on their upper edge. Grab them by the top.
To a greater extent, this is due to the peculiarities of interaction and overlapping of blocks on top of each other in the two-dimensional space of the game. Also, I’m not a very good programmer yet. Yep. =)

Note: the destruction of blocks does not return the money spent on them.

Earthen block.
Plants can be grown on this type of block.

Water block.
Water objects such as a whirlpool or a frog can be placed on this type of block.

Stone block.
Ground objects such as a scarecrow or a chest can be placed on this block type.
