Key takeaways
  • Do not sell your first Ancient Tech Point
  • Do not over-farm Lamball
  • Do not skip the Cake early

Do not sell your first Ancient Tech Point

You'll need it for the Palbox upgrade. Selling deletes progression pathing.

Do not over-farm Lamball

You need three, not thirty. Extra Lamballs eat food and stall your Ranch throughput.

Do not skip the Cake early

Delaying Cake past Level 19 delays every meta breed — start the milk loop the moment you can.
