Coral Island Tips For Beginners
Here are some of the tips that we would like to give to beginners who are just getting started with Coral Island.
Movement Is Key To Exploration
From the get-go, the character’s movement speed in Coral Island is plodding. And this makes exploration or reaching points A to B a rather tedious activity. So, we recommend you either use the Shift key to toggle between Sprint and regular run or enable the Auto Sprint feature from the game Settings.

Another movement tip we would like to give you is how to dash in Coral Island. You can perform a dash maneuver in Coral Island by pressing the Space Bar key. You can combine Sprint and Dash to move around the Island and explore the area quickly.
Rummaging Trash Cans And Dig Spots Around The Island
The Dig Spots are one of the best ways to obtain Wild Seeds and other essential items in Coral Island. And the same can be said about the Trash Cans you can rummage to collect Trash and other valuable items.
Change The In-Game Time Speed As Per Your Liking
Do you think each day in Coral Island passes quickly or slowly? You can adjust the in-game Time speed from the Settings menu and set it between 50% and 100%. When at 100%, each day in Coral Island is equivalent to 20 minutes of real-world time. Also, remember that when you enter the pause menu or minimize the game, the in-game time stops.

When you set the Game Time Speed counter to 50%, one day in Coral Island equals 40 minutes in real-world time. So, based on this, you can set the Game Time Speed per your play style and requirement.
Do Not Throw Trash
In Coral Island, you can use Trash to make Composts, Scraps, Glass, and other items on a grand scale for farming and other purposes. So, make sure to keep the Trash rather than just getting rid of it.
Never Leave Ore Deposits Unchecked
When you are in the mines, you can dig the cracks in the ground to find ores. When you dig a spot, it will make a line leading toward a particular direction. Keep following the path and dig until you reach the Ore deposit that can give you some lucrative ores you can use in crafting or selling for money.
Use Your Sword To Break Destructible Objects Like Crates And Barrels
Did you know? You can use the Sword you obtain from Kira for the first time in the Mines to break crates and barrels to get Ores, Wood, Fire Agate, and other items. Well! Now you know.
