How to earn Bud Tickets and raise the Home Index

Any Aniimo you place in the Homeland's upper living area generates Bud Tickets passively. You do not need to do anything with them once they are there. The tickets simply build up.

Not every Aniimo produces at the same rate. Prismana and Sparkling Aniimo placed in the home building zone generate Bud Tickets faster and in larger amounts than regular ones. That gives them a clear job. A Prismana you are not using on your team is doing nothing in storage, but at home it is your best ticket earner. If you have spares, this is where they belong.

Generated tickets collect in a jar, and the jar has a storage cap of 1,000 tickets. Once it reaches that, it holds no more, so a full jar is income you are not banking.

This matters more the better your setup is. A living area stocked with Prismana and Sparkling Aniimo fills the jar sooner than one full of regular Aniimo, which means a strong ticket setup is also the one that punishes you most for forgetting to collect. Make emptying it part of every visit home.

Bud Tickets are spent on buildings, decorations, materials and cosmetics. Most of that is straightforward shopping. The useful trick is the Home Index.

The most efficient way to raise the Home Index is to buy the cheapest decorations with Bud Tickets and then sell them back. You are not building a nicer house here. You are cycling cheap pieces through your inventory because the purchase itself is what counts.

For a sense of how cheap the bottom of the catalogue is, cube decorations cost 2 Bud Tickets each. At that price your passive ticket income goes a long way, and it is the reason a steady jar is worth keeping topped up and emptied.

Bud Tickets are one of three Homeland currencies, and they do not replace each other. Stars are spent on furniture, decorations and farm cosmetics, so they overlap with tickets on decoration but cover farm looks that tickets do not.

Home Coins are the Homeland's own main currency and pay for the heavy lifting: building, unlocking and levelling production facilities, farming upgrades, expanding plots, upgrading the RV, furniture decorations, re-rolling daily orders once your free re-rolls are used, and buying eggs, crafting goods, production materials and crop and tree seeds from the shop robot. You earn them by selling crops, surplus homeland items and crafted goods to the co-op store, by selling forageable materials gathered in the overworld, and by completing daily, emergency and buy orders. Those contracts are the recommended way to earn Home Coins.

The practical split is simple. Home Coins grow your Homeland. Bud Tickets, earned for free by Aniimo sitting at home, are what you spend on the Home Index.

05Where to start

Put every spare Prismana and Sparkling Aniimo in the home building zone and empty the ticket jar before it reaches 1,000. Spend the tickets buying the cheapest decorations and selling them back to push your Home Index up. Earn Home Coins through contracts so your bigger Homeland upgrades never compete with that loop.
