All Facilities & What They Do in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

The table below details every facility players can purchase and upgrade in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. We’ve also added information about what those facilities do to help in the day-to-day running of the player’s farm.

Which Facilities to Buy First in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

We believe that players should first purchase the Pond and Coop Upgrade facilities in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. The Pond is relatively cheap, so players should be able to buy it in the first year if they focus on selling as many fish and discoveries from the mine as possible.

With the Coop Upgrade, players can maximize the number of chickens they keep, growing their flock over time with a male and female until they’ve got 16 in total. This will result in a near-endless supply of eggs to sell and cook. Players only really need one male chicken to build up the population, so any male chicks can be sold as the flock grows.

The Pond is the secret to unlocking ducks in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. It might cost a good chunk of cash, but it’s worth it. Ducks sell for a lot of money, and the flock can be expanded by getting a male and female pair.

With both a Coop Upgrade and Pond, players will have a regular revenue stream to ensure they’re always earning, even if the hybrid crops aren’t paying their way just yet. Eggs are often part of Requests from characters around the village and are great for cooking food to keep the protagonist full of energy. With these facilities as a baseline, everything else on the farm will come along nicely.
