Beyond harvesting, players will take on ambitious construction projects across Catuaí, supplying essential resources to breathe new life into the region. Together, these additions empower you to build a thriving enterprise centered around roasted coffee, tropical fruit, artisanal textiles, and—surprisingly—even a dinosaur. Let’s dive into the details!

More Products, More Connections

A highly productive economy built around a vibrant new region.

A quick glance at the icon overview reveals everything this expansion brings to the table: specialty coffee goods, premium alpaca merchandise, diverse banana products, and essential industrial materials—complete with fungicide to support an advanced crop-care ecosystem. Furthermore, several recipes accommodate optional ingredients, granting you greater operational flexibility across select production chains.

Whether your passion lies in coffee cultivation, banana farming, animal husbandry, or construction, Catuaí provides endless incentives to process, build, and expand. Enjoy the journey!

Coffee: From Cherries to Tiramisu

Transform your bountiful harvest into exquisite beverages and gourmet desserts!

The coffee journey begins by harvesting ripe Coffee Cherries, which are then delivered to the Coffee Processing Plant. From this foundational step, the production chain branches out into marketable commodities such as Coffee Bags, Packed Coffee, Roasted Coffee, Coffee Capsules, and ready-to-enjoy Coffee Beverages.

However, the coffee experience extends far beyond the morning mug. The production chain seamlessly links to delectable treats like Coffee Yogurt and Tiramisu. With the Roastery, local Coffee Shop, Dairy, and Bakery all working in tandem, coffee quickly establishes itself as one of the cornerstone industries of the expansion.

Bananas: Wash, Process, Package

From protective Banana Boxes to delectable snacks, jams, cakes, and chips.

Bananas introduce another lucrative commercial avenue to your farm. Following the harvest, fresh bananas pass through the Banana Washing Station before being neatly packed into Banana Boxes, preparing them for advanced commercial processing.

From there, you can utilize the fruit to manufacture Banana Snacks, Banana Milk, Fried Bananas, Banana Jam, Banana Cake, and crispy Banana Chips. Facilities like the Canning Factory, Banana Drying Station, Dairy, and Bakery all integrate into this versatile workflow, transforming a simple harvest into a wide array of profitable, consumer-ready goods.

Alpaca Fleece for Wooly Products

Craft adorable plush toys, comfortable pillows, cozy socks, and artisanal furniture.

Alpacas play a delightful and profitable role in the new agricultural economy. Their harvested fleece can be spun at the Spinnery into fine Alpaca Wool, serving as the primary material for further artisan manufacturing.

The Tailor Shop expertly converts these fibers into Alpaca Plush toys, decorative pillows, and warm socks. Additionally, the chain connects directly with the Carpentry, where craftsmen utilize the material to produce unique Alpaca Chairs and Stools, successfully expanding your enterprise into upscale furniture manufacturing.

Pigments, Resin & Paint

An industrial material chain dedicated to restoring local homes.

Beans & Alpacas also introduces a dedicated industrial supply chain. By combining Copper Ore, Resin, and Pigments within the Paint Production facility, you can manufacture buckets of paint designed specifically to renovate and refresh select buildings across the region.

While the local Sawmill supplies necessary Resin, the specialized Pigment Factory manufactures vibrant pigments. Together, these raw materials unlock a fresh gameplay loop that rewards you for establishing robust industrial networks in Catuaí. Delivering fresh paint to weathered houses allows you to give the entire town a much-needed aesthetic makeover.

New Construction: Research Station

A center for education tucked away at the edge of Catuaí.

Situated near the boundary of the map, tucked away from the main thoroughfares and enveloped by lush rainforest, lies your next major construction challenge: the Research Station. Completing this ambitious project introduces authentic regional architecture to Catuaí, defined by traditional timber construction and classic thatched roofing.

Once finalized, you are free to explore the interior of the research facility to deepen your knowledge of the local ecosystem. Informational exhibits and educational posters detail native flora, sugarcane, coffee cultivation, alpacas, traditional musical instruments, and other cultural characteristics, transforming this rainforest outpost into a fascinating destination.

There’s Also a Dinosaur

…resting quietly in pieces beneath the topsoil.

Let’s not overlook another extraordinary type of discovery—or rather, multiple discoveries. Scattered all across Catuaí, prehistoric dinosaur bones lie buried deep within the fertile soil. This means you will naturally unearth these ancient remnants while performing routine fieldwork. They aren’t simply lying casually on the surface for tourists to stumble upon while strolling around with a smartphone in one hand and a coffee cup in the other.

Every recovered bone is cataloged and added to the permanent skeletal display at the local museum. Successfully completing the entire dinosaur skeleton unlocks a unique, wearable reward. It happens to be wonderfully fluffy—but we will leave you to discover that surprise for yourself!
