idyll is a game all about building and breaking things in a small, persistent environment. 

Building things on the island always requires food! 

Small amounts of food can be acquired by picking up mushrooms around the island, or by getting food from Planters

   Mushrooms, the most basic food source

  Wooden Planter, a more consistent method to get food

  Stone Planter, currently the best food source

You need enough resources!

Each item has a specific requirement for the resources needed to build it. You can check your current resource amounts by looking to the upper left corner of the game window, and you can acquire more resources by destroying things on the island

You can also drop resources you have by clicking on their icon. Food is not able to be dropped.

Building things is easy!

Just hover your cursor near your inventory, and you'll be able to select what you want to build. Currently there are a limited number of buildable items which will expand as the game updates

Once you've selected what you want to build with a left click, you can place the item near your player
