Heartopia: Tips for Beginners & Understanding the Game
At first glance, Heartopia looks like a typical cozy game – but beneath the surface are systems that pay off early if you understand them. If you want to get started efficiently, keep a close eye on your Developer Grade. It’s your main progression engine: complete quests and NPC requests to unlock new content. Instead of hoarding energy, plan your daily goals to make far better use of your playtime.
Hobbies like fishing and cooking aren’t side activities—they’re essential for earning gold and progressing. Always process materials before selling them to dramatically increase profits. Make a habit of talking to NPCs, as they unlock new systems, discounts, and building options. And don’t forget to use vehicles and fast travel to move efficiently around the city.

Earning Gold in Heartopia: How to Get Rich
Gold is the backbone of your progress – from buying furniture to unlocking vehicles. There are plenty of lucrative ways to fill your wallet. Fishing with a focus on crucian carp or rainbow fish can net you thousands quickly, while gardening with a strawberry–corn rotation can generate daily income of over 100,000 gold.
Cook simple dishes like fish and chips or cheesecake for high profits, or produce jam and lattes for free – minimal effort, maximum return.
Especially profitable are quests marked with a fire icon, which can reward up to 50% more gold. Pets like orange cats generate gold pouches passively, while festival and furniture flipping lets you trade smart. Keep an eye out for the night merchant, too – his mystery seeds can earn you up to 5,000 gold per plant.
