Tools (Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town)

In Pioneers of Olive Town, players will utilize all of their tools to cultivate the land which once belonged to their Grandfather. The Player can use the hammer, hoe, sickle, watering can, and axe for cultivation, but they are not only limited to those tools. Other useable tools include the bucket, fishing rod, camera and leash.

Other Tools
The camera and leash are tools that can't be upgraded.

Camera
The camera function makes a return! Take pictures of your favorite things (or people!) and share them with friends via online connection. You can upload your own photos, or take a look at a gallery uploaded by other players!

Photography Collection at Olive Museum
If you take a picture of wildlife around Olive Town and your farm, you can donate the picture to Olive Museum. You'll be able to see a statue a day after donating in the photography display room. You can also purchase these statues from Beth to display on counters in your home.

Leash
The leash can be used to take your pets for a walk. To use, just select the leash in your item menu and then interact with your pet. They'll follow you anywhere you go! Pets can be purchased from The Hoof House after you expand your home at Nigel's Handiworks.

Playing with your Pet
To play with your pet, purchase the Bouncy Ball or Mouse Ball from Olive General Store. Each ball can be used only one time. To use, make sure you're on a walk with your pet, and then select the ball and throw it.

Makers
There are 22 types of makers to obtain in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. All makers can be acquired through leveling your 12 Skills. You can also be given some makers as rewards through completing Lovett's Gourmet Requests.



Obtaining Makers
After you reach the required level in certain skills, makers will be craftable.

Butter Maker
The Butter Maker processes milk into butter. You must have a cow, goat or buffalo to procure milk. It's also available at Norman's Groceries, however the milk he sells is lowest quality.

Jewel Maker
The Jewel Maker polishes raw minerals found in the mines into jewels. The deeper in the mines, the higher of a chance of discovering these raw minerals. They can be located in the ore veins on the wall, digging them up with the hoe at sparkling spots, or they have a chance of being dropped by defeating a baddie. Jewels can be shipped for profit, used as gifts, or used in commissioning some accessories at Salon Ailes D'ange.

Lumber Maker
The Lumber Maker processes logs and turns them into lumber. You can find logs by chopping down trees, or if you've shipped a type of log, they will be available the following day at Olive General Store for purchasing.

Textile Maker
The Textile Maker processes thread and turns it into cloth. Once you've processed grass by using the Thread Maker, you can place it in the Textile Maker. In addition to payment, cloth is required to commission outfits and hats at Salon Ailes D'ange.

Thread Maker
The Thread Maker processes grass and turns it into thread. You can find grass by cutting weeds around your farm, or if you've shipped a type of grass, it will be available the following day at Olive General Store for purchasing.

Trivia

 * The Camera is a returning tool previously used in Animal Parade. The Camera allowed Players to take pictures of the game, and photos stored in memory were able to be placed in frames. This tool was in the demo of Tree of Tranquility, but the feature did not make it to the final build.
