ABC – always be chopping

You should always be chopping down trees – whenever you see one, take an axe to it and get the sweet, sweet wood it’ll spew out. Trees regrow super fast, so you’re always going to have a decent crop to harvest. Wood is the most important resource in Craft Island, so make sure you’re getting as much as you can.

Focus on chopping when you’ve got a powered up axe

Whenever you get a power-up for your axe, your only focus should be cutting down trees. Even if you’ve got other things to do, it’s a complete waste to unlock one and then spend any time not hacking at trees. Chop down everything you can in the time limit and then get on with other tasks.

Upgrade when you can

The first building you build is going to let you upgrade some of your skills. When you’ve got some spare coins, you should definitely be spending them here. As you build more structures, you’ll unlock more upgrades, so make sure you check back regularly as you increase your island to see what you can buy.

Unlock new areas

New areas offer up new trees to cut down, new structures to build and often some free coins or power-ups when you first open them. Areas with new kinds of trees are especially useful, because different trees offer up bigger yields of wood. 

Build the structures

When you’ve got enough wood to build a structure, you should throw it up. The buildings unlock a lot of new stuff, and they’re a great way to add to the infrastructure of your island home. When you’ve levelled up enough to create a new structure, go and do it when you get the chance.
