Home Coins vs Bud Tickets: what each Homeland currency buys

Home Coins are the Homeland's own main currency. Think of them as the operating budget. They pay for building, unlocking and levelling production facilities, for farming upgrades, for expanding plots and for upgrading the RV. They also buy furniture decorations, re-roll daily orders once your free re-rolls are gone, and cover everything the Homeland shop robot sells.

Bud Tickets are the Homeland currency for buildings, materials, cosmetics and decorations. That includes furniture that raises the index score, which has its own guide on this site. The rule worth remembering is simple: placing a decoration requires Bud Tickets. Whatever else you have in the bank, no tickets means nothing goes down.

You earn Home Coins by selling crops and goods to merchants. The farm is the obvious starting point. You plant crops from seeds, harvest them, and anything you harvest, along with other Homeland products, can be sold unprocessed at the home shop. You do not have to turn a crop into something fancier before it is worth money.

Processing is still there when you want it. Rock Candy, for example, is made from sugar cane in the Heat Furnace. The crops guide covers temperature zones, seeds and recipes properly; for this page the point is just that the farm feeds the till.

Most of this happens without you. The Homeland generates resources idly over real-world time, and your Aniimo keep producing resources and Anipods while you are offline or busy elsewhere. When you log in, a home report summarises what was produced. The Homeland generates currencies and capture balls along the way, so it pays you in more than one form.

One detail affects how long that idle stretch lasts. Higher-grade food, such as home-produced food, keeps Aniimo working longer before the feeder needs refilling than lower-grade bought food. Feeding your workers from your own farm keeps the whole loop running longer between visits. The worker guide goes into assignments in more depth.

The Homeland shop robot is where a lot of Home Coins go. It sells eggs, crafting goods, production materials, and crop and tree seeds. Seeds bought here go straight back into the farm, and the farm turns them back into coins.

The bigger spends are structural: building, unlocking and levelling production facilities, farming upgrades, plot expansion and RV upgrades. These are what make the Homeland produce more per hour, so they are where early coins earn their keep.

The good news is that coins do not stay tight for long. Home Coins are not the limiting resource for Homeland progression, and from around RV level 8 onward they become easy to obtain. Spend them on production early and do not agonise over every purchase later.

Bud Tickets go on buildings, materials, cosmetics and decorations. Furniture that raises the index score is part of that list, which is why tickets matter to anyone chasing a higher Home Index. How to earn Bud Tickets is covered in the dedicated Bud Tickets and Home Index guide.

The catch is the refund. Selling furniture back returns about half of the Bud Tickets it cost. Rearranging is cheap; replacing is not. If you buy a piece, regret it and sell it, you have lost roughly half its price. Decide where something is going before you buy it, and treat furniture purchases as mostly permanent.

The Homeland has an order robot NPC that offers 12 orders at a time. Daily orders reset twice a day, and they also reset whenever the RV ranks up, which is one more small reason to push RV upgrades.

This is where Home Coins and orders meet. Once your free re-rolls are used, re-rolling a daily order costs Home Coins. Since coins get easy from around RV level 8, paying to swap out an order you do not like becomes a reasonable habit later on. Urgent orders and pay are covered in the daily orders guide.

06Where to start

Put your early Home Coins into production facilities, plots, farming upgrades and the RV, and sell crops unprocessed whenever you need cash. Coins stop being a worry around RV level 8. Treat Bud Tickets as the careful currency: you need them to place any decoration, and selling furniture back only returns about half.
