No. 1 *+placeing grass EVERIVHERE+*
At the start of the game people like to just place grass tufts all over the map without consern for future selfs.

Do not do this because moast animals need a specific biome to evolve and stay happy, and you coud just use the "Remove manny" tool. But a few updates ago this was not an option.
No. 2 *+Useing too much DP before geting sheep+*
New players tend to spend load of DP on grass and trees before geting sheep. this can hinder you and even softlock you at the very start. How? ecause sheep need to eat and be happy but they also cost DP to buy. Sheep like all animals produce DP when happy.

"Wath if i save enogh DP for one sheep?"
- Daredevil

So one sheep can produce some DP to buy you a second sheep! but sheep need to be mature to ungoe "mitosis" and make a baby sheep. and one sheep is unlykely to produce a baby sheep and by the time you can buy anaother one thee sheep can die of old age.

so save up some DP for therr sheep to get some of the sheep related quests and get more DP.
No. 3 *+Puting youre biomes next to each other+*
This will cause the biomes to "leak" overtime and this will make a mess simular to misstake No.1.
also some plants and animals need a single biome to stay happy and make DP.
No. 4 *+Not putting borders of rocks between biomes+*
Puting thease borders will benefit youn in three ways:
1) biomes leak slower

2) Thease rock borders will help rock loveing species to floruish

3) you know where one biome begens and one ends + this will help you weed out biome spreading plants

so rock borders are benefitial and generaly look nice + theire low maintence.
No. 5 *+Not planing youre biomes+*
yes this mkaes the game repeatable and boaring but planeing out youre biomes makes it much lees of an headacke!!

remeber some biomes have sub biomes because of the requrements the species have.
ex.
Forest ---> Acer tree grove
grassland ---> wheat plains
grassland ---> red maple highlands
outro
i hope you found this guide helpfull and enjoyed it!

Good tips, but you really need to install Grammarly or smth.

Also, the title should be "Top 5 mistakes beginners do". I actually thought the guide was a troll post due to the terrible spelling 😂 I'm glad I was wrong. Thanks again for making it

Hiya. Thanks for the guide. I hope you don't mind if I rewrote it for you a little with proper spelling and grammar (I had to split it into multiple comments as Steam has a 1000 character limit for comments)

------------
No. 1 *+ Placing grass EVERYWHERE +*
At the start of the game people like to just place grass tufts all over the map without concern for their future selves.

Do not do this as most animals need a specific biome to evolve and stay happy. You can now fix this with the "Remove many" tool but this was not an option until a few updates ago.
------------
No. 2 *+ Using to much DP before getting sheep +*
New players tend to spend loads of DP on grass and trees before getting sheep. This can hinder you and even softlock you at the very start; sheep need to eat and be happy but they also cost DP to buy. Sheep, like all animals, produce DP when they're happy.

Q: "What if I save enough DP for one sheep?" - Daredevil
A: One sheep can produce some of the DP for a second sheep, but you will want to start with around three; a single mature sheep will create baby sheep (with mitosis somehow). A single sheep is likely to die of old age both before creating a baby sheep and before you can buy a second sheep.

------------
No. 3 *+ Putting your biomes next to each other +*
This will cause the biomes to leak into each other over time which will make a mess similar to the issue mentioned in mistake No. 1. Some plants and animals will also need a single biome to stay happy and make DP.

------------
No. 4 *+ Not putting borders of rocks between biomes +*
Putting these borders will benefit you in three ways:
1) Biomes leak slower
2) The boulders will help rock-loving species to flourish (be sure a biome is big enough for rock-hating species to flourish inside it if there are any)
MrDinnertime 18 Sep, 2024 @ 9:00pm 
3) You know where each biome begins and ends, which will help you to spot (and weed out) biome spreading plants

They also look nice and don't require maintenance!
-------------
No. 5 *+ Not planning your biomes +*
Planning the biomes makes the game repetitive and boring but also makes it much less of a headache!

Remember some biomes will have sub-biomes depending on the requirements of their specicies. For example:
Forest --> Acer tree grove
Grassland --> Wheat plains
Grassland --> Red maple highlands
