# Day & Night During the day, the player is free to farm, craft, fish and mine to their heart's content. Crops grow at a normal rate and the player is safe from harm. Players can use this time to safely harvest and sell their crops, craft & repair items and build improvements on their base. ![](/files/ks89t4fIVSAqD1oHppZS) ![](/files/BVm0kYnN13pLtAC7t9Os) As well as relaxing and enjoying the game, players should spend some time during the day cycle preparing for the darkness of night. At night, the player's farm tiles and crops will be attacked by skeletal pirates who rise from the dead around your farm. Allies can be recruited and fortifications constructed to protect your farm from the pesky skeleton invaders! Skeletal Pirates drop loot when killed. This loot can be sold for Dubloon or sometimes used in crafting! Take the opportunity at night time to farm some skeletons while your crops are sleeping. Crop growth slows considerably during the night. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
