Level 8 unlocks your second major region, Golden Hills, and the Barley crop. You should now think of the game map as one large farm built across two locations. All materials and products share a single inventory and economy. The only thing that operates individually per region is Workers and Happiness, which are tracked separately for Golden Hills.
You can start building on this Homestead. The Chapter Quest will ask you to place decorations to manage your Happiness (introduced in Level 5). Use your decorative items to maintain your Happiness target zone (40–80) as you continue to upgrade Houses across both Sundale and Golden Hills to fuel your expansion.
Two thoughts here: first, drop a field that you can remove for the chicken coop next level. Now chicken feed takes 45 mins to mill, and eggs are an hour to produce. You get 1 feed when you level up. This is where it can be very strategic to collect some of your finished quests and hit level 9 right before bed. That way, you can build the chicken coop and run it over night, while milling 5 batches of feed, 3+ hours overnight, to wake up to fresh eggs and feed to keep going.
