The RV: Upgrades, Parks and Regional Orders
The RV is a base, a portal and a stat stick. Here is what it takes to level it, and why skipping it costs you power.
The short version
- Engaging with the Homeland and RV systems increases your player strength. Ignoring them is a mistake.
- The Homeland is a private area for farming currencies and resources, including harvested wood and minerals, that feed RV construction and progression.
- Bud tickets are required to acquire decorations, materials and buildings.
- Some Homeland orders require dispatching Aniimo in the RV to collect regional resources.
- Decorating your RV while it is parked in the park grants RV bonuses.
- RV parks are one of the few places you can see other players, alongside your own party and the main city.
Most players treat the RV as a side system. It is not. Engaging with the Homeland and the RV makes your character stronger, which means the time you put into hauling wood and placing decorations pays out in the parts of the game you actually care about.
The loop is simple once you see it. The Homeland produces resources. Those resources upgrade the RV. The RV, parked and decorated, hands bonuses back. Some of the orders that keep the whole thing turning require you to send your Aniimo out to fetch regional materials.
The short version: start early, because the RV levels off Homeland tasks, and an RV that is behind stays behind.
Why the RV is worth your time
Neglecting the Homeland and RV systems is a mistake, and the reason is blunt. Engaging with them increases your player strength. There is no version of this where you skip the base and stay level with players who did not.
There is a second pull for anyone who cares how their character looks. Certain outfits and cosmetics can only be obtained through the Homeland and the RV. If you want them, this is the only door.
The Homeland feeds the RV
The Homeland is your private area. You farm currencies and resources there, and those go straight into RV construction and progression. It generates materials of its own, harvested wood and minerals among them, and those are what you spend upgrading the RV.
Bud tickets sit alongside that supply. You need them to acquire decorations, materials and buildings, so they gate a good chunk of what you can actually put down. Treat them as the constraint they are and spend with a plan rather than on the first thing you unlock.
Orders and dispatching Aniimo
Certain Homeland orders will not resolve at home. They require you to dispatch Aniimo in the RV to collect regional resources, which turns the vehicle into a working tool rather than a parked trophy. Your creatures go out, the materials come back.
This is the strongest argument for starting early. Engaging with Homeland tasks from the beginning is what levels the RV quickly, and the orders keep arriving whether or not you have been running them. Get the pipeline moving in your first days and the upgrades stack up while you are busy elsewhere.
Parks, decoration and other players
Decoration is not just presentation. Decorating your RV while it is parked within the park grants RV bonuses, so the layout you build has a mechanical payoff attached to it.
RV parks are designated zones, and they are where you go to visit other players' RVs. That matters more than it sounds, because other players are visible only in a few places: when you are grouped in the same party, inside the main city, or within camp and RV areas. The park is one of the game's real social spaces, so it is worth having something there you do not mind people seeing.
Homeland
- A private area for farming currencies and resources used in RV construction and progression.
- Generates materials including harvested wood and minerals that upgrade the RV.
- Certain Homeland orders require dispatching Aniimo in the RV to collect regional resources.
RV park
- A designated zone where players can visit other players' RVs.
- Decorating the RV parked within the park grants RV bonuses.
- One of the few places other players are visible, alongside party members and the main city.
Where to start
Do the Homeland tasks from day one, keep bud tickets for things you actually want, and park the RV where the bonuses apply. The strength gain is the point. The outfits are the bonus.
