How to Progress in Doloc Town
A simple route for turning a rough settlement into a productive, automated farm without missing the exploration and story systems around it.
Stabilize your first farm cycle
Start by collecting basic materials and placing storage where you can reach it quickly. A compact work area reduces travel time and makes it easier to keep track of seeds, tools, food, and crafting resources. Plant only as much as you can water and harvest on schedule. A smaller field that never misses a care window is more useful than an ambitious layout that consumes all of your stamina.
Use weather and travel to plan each day
Weather changes how valuable a day feels. Use clear periods for planting, gathering, fishing, or moving through dangerous areas, and use quieter periods for crafting, sorting storage, talking with NPCs, and preparing the next route. Because the world is side-scrolling and vertically built, check platforms and upper paths for resources instead of searching only on the ground.
Grow from crops into genes
Once your basic crop routine is reliable, treat breeding as an investment rather than a gamble. Keep a few harvests for testing, record which traits appear, and reserve space for planters that you can monitor. A clear separation between everyday crops and experimental crops makes it easier to compare results and prevents a failed combination from disrupting your food or income supply.
Unlock machines before chasing perfection
Crafting, requests, research, and skill progression open more options over time. Prioritize upgrades that shorten repeated tasks or expand what you can carry. Then improve the farm layout around those upgrades: leave access paths, place storage near production, and keep power-dependent equipment together. Good organization matters as much as raw output when the farm begins to include generators, machines, buildings, and drones.
SYSTEMS AT A GLANCE
More Than a Farming Sim
Doloc Town uses farming as its anchor, but the strongest progression comes from connecting several systems. Exploration brings back materials and discoveries. Crafting turns those materials into tools, planters, machines, and upgrades. Requests and relationships give the town a reason to keep moving, while fishing and ranching provide different ways to spend a day when the fields are already cared for.
The side-scrolling format also changes how a farm is designed. Platforms create height and extra working surfaces, so an efficient base is not simply a flat grid. Leave room to walk, group machines by purpose, and keep important items visible. When the farm expands, a little planning prevents long detours between storage, crafting, power, and crop care.
For new players, the best Doloc Town strategy is flexible rather than perfect. Follow the next useful objective, keep a reserve of common materials, and return to older areas after unlocking movement or equipment upgrades. That rhythm lets the story, farm, and wasteland exploration develop together instead of forcing one system too early.
What this wiki covers
Use the guide index for beginner priorities, crop planning, crop genes, farming automation, drone use, fishing, ranching, NPC gifts, quests, achievements, resources, and the Old City Ruins. Each topic is designed to answer a practical question quickly, with links to deeper pages as the guide library grows.
When a mechanic changes in a patch, verify the current in-game wording and the official release notes. This is an independent fan-made reference, so it aims to explain routes and decisions clearly without pretending that an unverified number is permanent.

What is Doloc Town?
Doloc Town is a side-scrolling pixel-art farming simulation set in a post-apocalyptic world. You play as a young scavenger who arrives at a small settlement and begins rebuilding a farm while surviving acid rain, scorching heat, thunderstorms, hostile creatures, and the mysteries of the wasteland.
Beyond farming, Doloc Town combines exploration, platforming, combat, fishing, ranching, crafting, crop genetics, relationships, festivals, drone upgrades, and farming automation. The 1.0 release also completes the main story and expands exploration into the Old City Ruins.

QUICK ANSWERS
Doloc Town FAQ
Short answers to the questions players usually have before starting a new save or planning their next upgrade.
What is the best way to start Doloc Town?
Begin with a small, reliable farm loop: gather wood and stone, place storage near your work area, plant the seeds you can water consistently, and use early requests to unlock tools and recipes. Keep exploring between watering cycles so progress does not depend on one activity.
How do crops and genes work?
Crops are the foundation of the farm, while genes add a longer-term breeding layer. First learn each crop's growing routine and weather needs. Then preserve useful traits, compare mutations, and breed deliberately instead of spending every harvest immediately.
When should I automate the farm?
Automation becomes most useful after the farm has a stable layout and a dependable power supply. Build the manual routine first, then use machines and drones to remove repetitive care tasks. This keeps materials focused on upgrades that actually save time.
What other activities are worth doing?
Fishing, ranching, exploration, combat, requests, relationships, and crafting all support the wider progression loop. Rotate activities according to the current weather, available resources, and quest objectives rather than treating farming as the only source of progress.
