Welcome to the complete Doloc Town guide. This post covers the most important systems in the game: Crops and Gene Traits, the Tech Tree, and essential Crafting and Cooking Recipes. Whether you’re just starting or optimizing your farm, this guide will help you progress efficiently.
Crops and Gene Traits in Doloc Town
Doloc Town features a deep farming system with a unique Gene System. Each seed can hold up to 3 gene modules, allowing powerful combinations.
Key Gene Traits
| Gene Name | Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Fractal Crop | Increases fruit drop count on multi-yield crops | High-yield farming |
| Turritopsis | Chance to reset to seed stage and regrow after harvest | Continuous production |
| Keratinized | Immune to acid rain (lower yield) | Rainy seasons |
| Needle-leaf | Immune to scorching sun (slower growth) | Dry seasons |
| Charge | Advances growth stage when struck by lightning | Stormy weather |
| Fortitude | Survives unsuitable seasons (slower growth) | Off-season farming |
| Gift of Time | Extra fruit for each month the plant survives | Long-term crops |
| Spore Spray | Automatically drops fruit when mature | Passive harvesting |
| Fertility Boost | Applies fertilizer to the planter on harvest | Efficiency |
| Symbiotic Nourishment | Speeds up growth of nearby crops on harvest | Dense farm setups |
| Extended Bloom | More harvests but slower growth | Multiple harvest crops |
| Windborne | Spreads seeds to empty planters on windy days | Expanding fields |
Tip: Prioritize combinations like Turritopsis + Fertility Boost + Symbiotic Nourishment for strong passive farming.
Early recommended crop: Endyam — easy to grow and useful for cooking and profit.
Doloc Town Tech Tree Guide
There are four main tech trees. You earn different point types for each:
| Tech Tree | Point Type | Main Unlocks | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agriculture | Field Study | Plant Basins, Sprinklers, Seed Compressor, Gene Machines | Highest early |
| Industry | Tech Research | Smelter, Generators, Batteries, Automated Workbench | High |
| Life | Tool Operation | Cooking, Pickling, Drying, Brewing, Storage | Medium |
| Animal | Nurturing Animals | Feeding Trough, Fences, Breeding, Fish Tanks | Later |
Recommended Early Unlock Order
- Agricultural Basics → Wood Plant Basin
- Resource Collection (Trees) → Resin Collector
- Basic Well / Water Source
- Lightning Rod (before heavy rain seasons)
- Gene 101 → Gene Activation Chamber
- Basic Power Generation
- Cooking stations (Life tree)
Important: Many advanced nodes require points from multiple trees, so balance your research.
Crafting and Cooking Recipes
Essential Crafting
- Plant Basin – Wood: Basic farming structure (build these first)
- Platform – Wooden: Expand your farm vertically
- Seed Compressor: Turn crops back into seeds (critical for gene work)
- Smelter: Process ores into ingots
- Cardboard Boxes: Early storage solution
Useful Cooking Recipes
| Dish | Ingredients | Main Effect |
|---|---|---|
| French Fries | 4 Potatoes | +100 Stamina + 20% Stamina Recovery (16h) |
| Curry Rice | Rice + Potato + Raw Meat | +75 Health + 20% Health Recovery (16h) |
| Spaghetti | Tomato + Flour | +150 Stamina + Ore Collection bonus |
| Smashed Cucumber | Cucumber + Chili Pepper | Stamina + Weed Collection bonus |
| Fried Mushrooms | 2–4 Mushrooms | Stamina + Jump Strength |
| Hamburger | Plain Bread + Raw Meat + Tomato | High Stamina recovery |
| Pickled Fruits | Wax Apple + Strawberry + Grape + Chili Powder | Movement speed + Defense |
Cooking Tip: Always cook excess crops. Buffed food is far more efficient than eating raw ingredients for energy and health.
Quick Early-Game Tips
- Upgrade your backpack as soon as possible (talk to Hult at the general store).
- Focus on Endyam and basic vegetables first for steady income.
- Build Plant Basins and expand upward with platforms to save space.
- Unlock the Gene system once you have a stable seed supply.
- Join the Guild in River Valley for the combat drone and double jump.
