Want more Ooblets? And better yet, want a slave labor force that will do your farming for you? Then you need Oobcoops. Here’s how to make ‘em.
The more I look into Ooblets, the more I feel it’s at least as problematic as Pokémon. Sure, Pokémon is all about capturing wild animals and making them fight to the “faint” for our amusement, but Ooblets lets you grow your own slave labor force just by winning in dance-off contests.
Morals aside, you definitely want to make as many Oobcoops as your farm can contain. Here’s all you need to know.
Why You Want An Oobcoop... Actually, Lots Of Oobcoops
There are several reasons you’ll want your farm to be dotted with Oobcoops. First and foremost, Ooboops allows you to use Ooblets to automate certain parts of your farm. And by “automate,” I mean the Ooblets will start doing it for you. Tasks like weeding, removing twigs and rocks, and watering crops can all be performed by Ooblets living in Oobcoops.
The other reason you want Oobcoops is that they’ll increase the total number of Ooblets you can own. Note that this doesn’t increase the number of Ooblets that’ll follow you around--just the ones that live on your farm.
How To Get Oobcoops
To build an Oobcoop, first you must first figure out how. Lucky for you, the blueprints are available from the Wishy Well for 100 wishies.
We’ve gone over at length how to get wishies in a previous guide, but just a reminder, you can get wishes by performing the Daily Wishies and earning badges. Do all three Daily Wishies and you'll get 16 wishies, and if you go to the dance barn you can earn even more by winning the daily dance battles. The point is, it’s not hard to come by wishies, so getting the Oobcoop should be a priority.
Once you have the blueprint, head on over to the Manatwee furniture shop to build your first Oobcoop using the Fabricuter. Then head on back to your farm to place the Oobcoop around some crops. The Oobcoop has an area of influence that is 9 tiles large, with the center tile being the Oobcoop itself. You'll need 3 Clothlets, 15 Nurnies, 10 Planklets, and 1 Obsidian Gummie to make your first Oobcoop.
What Oobcoops Can Do For You And The Tiers Of Oobcoop
What your Oobcoop can do will depend on what tier of Oobcoop you've got.
At tier 1, your Oobcoop can house a single Ooblet. That Ooblet will remove twigs, hollow logs, rocks, and weeds automatically, and will provide a 5% growth speed boost to all crops planted within the Oobcoop's square of influence (that's the 8 tiles surrounding the Oobcoop).
At tier 2, your Oobcoop gets far more accommodating both metaphorically and literally. It now contains 2 Ooblets instead of 1, and those Ooblets will do everything they did in the tier 1 Oobcoop but will now also water crops for you. They'll also provide a 10% boost to your crop growth rate thanks to their loving care.
At tier 3, you get 3 Ooblets per Oobcoop and they do everything in the first two tiers plus they'll start harvesting grown crops on their own. You'll also get a 20% growth speed boost for all crops in the area.
Finally, tier 4 Oobcoops can house 4 Ooblets, do everything the other tiers did plus plant their own crops (using seeds provided to the Oobcoop by you). It'll also provide a 40% increase to growth speed for all crops within the area.
To assign Ooblets and upgrade your Oobcoop, you’ll have to enter the Oobcoop and then select the Ooblet you want to turn into an indentured servant and/or select the tier you want to upgrade to. You’ll have to discover the blueprints at the Wishy Well, with each tier costing another 100 wishies to upgrade to.
Obviously, the best Oobcoop is the 4th tier, but you should really prioritize getting to tier 2 Oobcoops as soon as possible. This will save you the time and energy that you’d normally spend watering your crops.
