Settings & Preferences

Open /settings in the bot (or tap ⚙️ Settings) to tune how much the game talks to you. Every option is a simple on/off toggle, and some only appear when they're relevant to you — for example, the hunting and wilderness options. New here and feeling the notifications? The game now points you to these controls the first time crafting or hunting starts pinging you, and there's a reminder on your /objectives screen — but you can open /settings and quiet anything at any time.

SettingWhat it does
🔇 Quiet tickSuppress the hourly tick report entirely. Medals and level-ups still come through.
📋 Compact tickReplace the full hourly report with a single-line summary.
💡 Hide adviceRemove the AI tip from the bottom of your tick reports.
📋 Show queueList your action queue at the end of every hourly tick report, in the order it will actually run — so you always know what's coming next without opening the Queue panel. Off by default.
🏛 Visit storiesTurn off the short story that arrives as a follow-up after one of your building visits fires. (City players.)
🔕 Quiet craftingOnly notify you when 1 craft remains in your workbench queue.
🔕 Quiet huntingOnly notify you when 1 hunt is left in your queue. (City players with a Hunter's Lodge.)
🔕 Quiet wildernessMute even the low-quest refill ping — your camp panel still updates silently. (Wilderness & camping players.)
⚖️ Metric unitsShow animal weights in kilograms instead of pounds.
🎰 Always let it rideNew Bingo cards auto-ride every tier straight to Blackout with no Take/Ride prompt. High-roller mode — a card that runs out of time before Blackout forfeits any lower win. Off by default. See Take or Ride. (City players.)
🔒 Private profileHide your Telegram @username on the website leaderboard and player page.

Command Reference

CommandWhoWhat it does
/startAnyoneRegister and enter the wilderness. Add ref_<id> from a referral link to credit a recruiter. City invite links (inv_...) skip the wilderness entirely.
/campWilderness & camping playersWilderness home base. Shows housing tier, resource stockpile, quest queue, and inline buttons to send on quests, fill all slots, upgrade housing, or refresh the panel. Disabled once you join a city (unless camping mode is active). First visit shows a numbered tutorial; camping-mode players see a "🏕 Camping Trip" header instead.
/gocampingCity playersSpend 300g to enter camping mode and work toward wilderness medals. If your city has a Hunter's Lodge (Town Hall 2), a free hunting option also appears — or use the 🏹 Hunt button in your navigation menu to go straight to hunting without the camping prompt. A Bow is required to hunt. Tap "🏙 Return to City" when done.
/objectivesAnyoneTwelve-step beginner checklist across two phases (5 wilderness, 7 city). Shows your next hint and marks each goal complete as you reach it. The Goals button disappears from the keyboard once all twelve are done.
/profileAnyoneYour tier, personal gold, reputation, recruiter title, and current nickname/privacy settings. Also works in the community group, where it posts a short showcase instead — your name, tier, reputation, your estate and everything you have on display, your medal count and your home city. Your gold, wages, loyalty, queue and settings stay private to you.
/statsCity playersYour lifetime statistics — totals for gathering, crafting, gold earned, projects, and more.
/huntstatsCity playersYour lifetime hunting record — total hunts, pelts banked, biggest catch, and rarest animal taken.
/passportAnyoneYour Player Passport — a travel log of every premium landmark you've visited, with realm-wide completion stats and travel medals. Also opens from the 🛂 button on /profile.

/queue_planks /queue_bricks /queue_iron /queue_steel /queue_rope /queue_charcoalDeveloper+ (Workbench 5)Queue a crafting action for that recipe.

/scratchAnyoneBuy a 50g scratch ticket. Win gold or Tier 1/2 resources (or both). Resource prizes go to your city stockpile. No cooldown — limited only by gold. Prize odds are not disclosed.
/cratesAnyoneView your Prize Crate stash and lifetime stats. Open one or open all — each crate pays a little gold plus Bingo Balls for /bingo.

/feedback <message>AnyoneSend feedback or a suggestion to the team. Works in private chat or the community group. Tip: reply to any message with /feedback (optionally with your note) to send feedback about that specific message — the team sees what you were reacting to. Even easier (private chat only): just reply to one of the bot's messages with a plain note — no /feedback needed — and it's saved automatically, with an Undo button in case you didn't mean to. (This auto-capture does not apply in the community group.) Spotted a bug in a screenshot? Send the screenshot with /feedback your note as its caption (private chat or community group), or in private chat just reply to one of the bot's messages with the screenshot — it's attached to your report so the team can see exactly what you saw.
/myfeedbackAnyoneSee the feedback you've sent and its status (🆕 new, 🗓 planned, 🔨 in progress, ✅ done, 🚫 declined). When the team resolves an item with a reply you get a DM — tap 👍 Got it to acknowledge it. Every idea that ships earns you a rung on the Contributor medal (Bronze → Diamond) as a thank-you.

/vendorAnyoneBrowse the city Trading Post. Lv1: tools. Lv2: consumables (Queue Boost, Rested Potion, Rush Token, Hired Help). Lv3: Luxury Goods section visible to Mayor and Minister of Treasury — spend 500💸 per unit of any Tier 3 resource. Once your city has a Customs House, the luxury goods section is replaced by production (specialty buildings produce Tier 3 goods each tick).
/toolsAnyoneView your owned tools, levels, and XP progress.
/menuAnyoneShow the navigation keyboard (Profile, City, Queue, Build, Tools, etc.). Useful if you dismissed it.
/wiki <topic>AnyoneLinks you straight to the right section of this guide for a topic — e.g. /wiki master's charter, /wiki hunting, /wiki tycoon. Free-text: partial words and phrases work. /wiki on its own lists the popular topics.
/changelog [days]AnyoneThe last few days of updates as compact plain text, right in the chat — a quick way to catch up without opening the website. Defaults to the last week; pass a number for a wider window (e.g. /changelog 30). Long windows are trimmed to fit. For the full, styled, paginated history see the website changelog.
