Recruiting Tinkers

Increase Your $MOON Harvest

Tinkers are specialized characters in Harvest Moon who play a critical role in the production of $MOON. Operating within your lab, each Tinker uses their expertise to enhance $MOON output. Learning about the different Tinkers and mastering their recruitment is essential for maximizing your gameplay.

Types of Tinkers and Their Harvest Rates:

  • Intern: Learns on the job, harvesting 0.001 $MOON/hour.

  • Researcher: Focuses on experimentation, harvesting 0.002 $MOON/hour.

  • Scientist: Oversees Interns and Researchers, harvesting 0.004 $MOON/hour.

  • Genius: Pioneers advanced strategies, harvesting 0.012 $MOON/hour.

  • Brain: Master of $MOON science, harvesting 0.05 $MOON/hour.

Union Contract Types:

1.) Basic Contracts: Recruits mostly Interns, sometimes Researchers

2.) Advanced Contracts: Recruits mostly Scientists, sometimes Geniuses

3.) Expert Contracts: Recruits mostly Geniuses, sometimes Brains

Recruiting Through Union Contracts: Union Contracts are your primary method for recruiting Tinkers. These contracts are obtained through:

  • Harvesting: Complete harvests to receive contracts as random rewards.

  • Events and Competitions: Participate in community events across our platforms for additional contract opportunities.

  • Missions: Complete specific missions like newbie challenges or fiat onramp tasks.

By actively participating in these activities, you'll have multiple opportunities to collect Union Contracts and enhance your gameplay, allowing you to harvest more $MOON!


Lab Capacity and Upgrades Your lab's capacity determines the number of Tinkers you can have actively harvesting $MOON. To increase your production rate, upgrade your lab under the "UPGRADE" tab to accommodate more Tinkers.

Summary Without Tinkers, there is no $MOON. Continuously grow your lab by recruiting new Tinkers and upgrading your facilities. Each Tinker is essential for maintaining and increasing your lab's productivity. The more skilled your Tinkers, the greater your harvest. So go ahead, recruit some Tinkers and boost your $MOON harvest!
