Once acquired, these seeds can be planted in the field to grow cotton fiber, which is then used to complete a number of requirements and upgrades in the game. In order to reach Loneberg, you need to first get the Icebreaker Ship Upgrade. This upgrade requires:
10 iron ingots 12 oak planks 18 linen fabrics 1 spirit flower 5 slates 800 glims
The Icebreaker Upgrade
The only requirement you need to reach Loneberg is the Icebreaker Upgrade. You can find this upgrade in Albert’s Shipyard, at the coordinates X: 61, Y: 64. Upon arriving, head on over to the boat improvements section of the upgrade menu, and you’ll find the Icebreaker as the second upgrade. Fortunately the upgrade that’s needed beforehand is an easy one to get, and here’s what you need: After getting the mailbox, proceed with the materials for the icebreaker upgrade.
Getting the Linen Fabrics
Let’s start with the linen thread. First, you’ll need a Field to plant seeds, and building one requires: Once you have the field, get yourself some linen seeds, which can be purchased for 70 Glims at the Raccoon Inc. stores in:
Hummingberg (X: 39, Y: 139) Furogawa (X: -150, Y: 67)
After buying them, plant the seeds in any of the field plots. Make sure you water the seeds whenever the water drop logo appears. Alternatively, playing the guitar (a mini-game where you press the right notes) can speed up the growing process. These seeds will grow into linen fiber, which you can then harvest. After that, proceed with building the Loom. To build the Loom you’ll need: Once built, head inside and input the linen fiber. You can put up to 70 pieces of the same item. To play the weaving minigame, line up the loom by holding the action button until it lines up with the indicator. This will get you the maximum amount of linen thread. These linen threads will then need to be turned into linen fabric, and you’ll need the upgraded loom for that. That upgrade is found as a blueprint in a balcony atop Villa Maggiore, located in X: -58, Y: 117. Once acquired, the materials for this upgrade include:
10 maple planks 18 linen threads 8 bright jellies 120 glims
Once the improvement is in place, do the same minigame but use the linen threads this time. This will result in linen fabric, and repeat until you get the right amount. Note: You can check out our guide on building the loom for a more thorough explanation.
Getting the Oak Planks
The second item on our list are oak planks, which are made in the sawmill. If you don’t have a sawmill yet, here’s what you need: Once the sawmill is built, take some oak logs (see the Foundry Guide section for oak log locations) and take them inside. Choose the number of logs you want to cut, and start the mini-game. Once the logs start moving, trace the yellow lines with the red indicator to get the maximum amount of oak planks. You’ll also get sawdust from each log you cut. Note: Our guide on how to use the sawmill provides a complete breakdown of this section.
Getting the Iron Ingots
The next item is iron ingots, which is made by smelting iron ore at the foundry. Here’s a quick overview of the requirements for that building: Once your Foundry is built, place some coal in the furnace and iron ore in the compartment to start the smelting mini-game. Just push on the bellows in an alternating fashion to keep the temperature up. Taking note of the temperature indicator, do this until the thermometer turns red, and you’ll be rewarded with a good amount of iron ingots.
Additional Required Materials
As for the remaining materials needed for the upgrade, here’s how to acquire them: Head back to Albert’s Shipyard to buy the Icebreaker upgrade once you get all of these requirements.
Getting the Cotton Seeds
Once you have the Icebreaker upgrade, proceed to Loneberg in the Hummingberg region, located at X: -40, Y: 192. The upgrade will help your ship break through the ice barrier surrounding it. Then walk right to find the Raccoon Inc. store and buy yourself some cotton seeds for 150 Glims each. You can then plant these seeds to grow cotton fiber, which can be woven in the loom to make cotton thread. Additionally, you can also find Giovanni the spirit in Loneberg, as well as a blueprint chest and recipe for Beef Fondue.
