ANIIMO Homeland upgrades get much easier to plan when you separate the two production chains: trees supply Wood Blocks, and mine jobs supply Mineral Sand. At RV 6, those raw materials start feeding your Woodworking Bench and Chimney Kiln. This is the path I mapped from my Homeland notes for RV 3 through RV 10.
For RV 3 → 6, stock Wood Blocks and Mineral Sand. For RV 6 → 10, craft Rough Lumber from Wood Blocks and Coarse-Sifted Ore from Mineral Sand. Use the RV selector in my Homeland Upgrade Helper (https://iridescentsugar.com/aniimo/homeland-helper) to see your exact next step.
The RV 3–10 upgrade checklist
These are the requirements currently recorded in my Planner. The number before the arrow is your current RV level. Check the live upgrade screen before committing materials, since game values can change.
• RV 3 → 4: 100 Wood Blocks, 120 Mineral Sand, and 2.9K Home Coins.
• RV 4 → 5: 550 Wood Blocks, 250 Mineral Sand, and 7.3K Home Coins.
• RV 5 → 6: 1,300 Wood Blocks, 700 Mineral Sand, and 32K Home Coins.
• RV 6 → 7: 290 Rough Lumber, 360 Coarse-Sifted Ore, and 69K Home Coins.
• RV 7 → 8: 1,100 Rough Lumber, 640 Coarse-Sifted Ore, and 180K Home Coins.
• RV 8 → 9: 1,520 Rough Lumber, 800 Coarse-Sifted Ore, and 260K Home Coins.
• RV 9 → 10: 2,000 Rough Lumber, 2,400 Coarse-Sifted Ore, and 510K Home Coins.
Wood Blocks → Rough Lumber
Start at the Woodland. In the early levels, Willow Wood at Woodland Lv 1 gives 1 Wood Block per harvest. At Woodland Lv 2, Bamboo or Lemon Tree gives 8 Wood Blocks. My later cards show Apple Tree (Cool) at Woodland Lv 3 giving 21 Wood Blocks. Match your available tree to your facility level, then keep its slots producing while you work on the other chain.
Starting with the RV 6 → 7 upgrade, the required item switches to Rough Lumber. A Woodworking Bench Lv 1 turns 8 Wood Blocks into 1 Rough Lumber. For instance, 290 Rough Lumber means 2,320 Wood Blocks before accounting for what you already have. The Bench is the processing step; the Woodland remains the source of the raw blocks.
Mineral Sand → Coarse-Sifted Ore
The Mine supplies Mineral Sand. My captured progression shows the Rock job giving 3 at Mine Lv 1, Clay giving 16 at Mine Lv 2, and Shell giving 32 at Mine Lv 3. As your Mine improves, switch to the higher-yield job you have actually unlocked.
Starting with RV 6 → 7, you need Coarse-Sifted Ore. A Chimney Kiln Lv 1 turns 8 Mineral Sand into 1 Coarse-Sifted Ore. The 360 Ore for RV 6 → 7 therefore represents 2,880 Mineral Sand before subtracting inventory or any bonuses.
Plan the Woodworking Bench and Chimney Kiln Lv 2 upgrades after RV 8, but the RV 8 → 9 and RV 9 → 10 cards still call for the Lv 1 recipes: Rough Lumber and Coarse-Sifted Ore. The new Lv 2 products become the next stage of the progression.
How I would plan the RV 9 → 10 push
• Check your inventory first. Subtract the Rough Lumber, Coarse-Sifted Ore, Wood Blocks, and Mineral Sand you already have from the target.
• Convert the shortfall into raw materials. From zero stock, 2,000 Rough Lumber means 16,000 Wood Blocks; 2,400 Coarse-Sifted Ore means 19,200 Mineral Sand. These are recipe totals, not one-cycle output.
• Run both sides in parallel. Harvest Apple Tree at Woodland Lv 3 and run the Shell job at Mine Lv 3 while your Bench and Kiln keep processing earlier batches.
• Assign Aniimo by facility trait. The cards show different matching trait icons for Woodland, Woodworking Bench, Mine, and Chimney Kiln. Check the trait on each assigned Aniimo; a good match can improve efficiency.
• Reserve your Home Coins. RV 9 → 10 calls for 510K, separate from the material grind. The Farmland crop note is a coin option, not another upgrade material.
Want the requirements for a different level? Open the RV 1–20 Homeland Upgrade Helper (https://iridescentsugar.com/aniimo/homeland-helper), choose your current RV level, and use the Homeland Index (https://iridescentsugar.com/aniimo/homeland) for production sources and facility details. I’ll keep refining these notes as I capture more of the game.
