Prehistoric living in Roots of Pacha is surprisingly comfy, but it can become even better. Many members of the Pachan clan (and even some guests) have ideas that can help improve things even more, unlocking new buildings and tools. In our Roots of Pacha Ideas Guide, we'll go over how Ideas are unlocked and how to complete them.

You need to gather many materials to complete Ideas, so make sure to check out our guides on farming and animals. A number of them will also involve making new tools, which need items like Flint to craft.


How Roots of Pacha Ideas Work

Ideas are available from the start of Roots of Pacha, with each one being tied to specific NPCs. These NPCs will have an idea for how to make something, and you'll have to give them the materials they need to complete it. All Ideas require a certain amount of time to complete after you hand in the materials, while most also have a Clan Prosperity that must be reached (though this will not show if it's already high enough).


How to Unlock New Ideas in Roots of Pacha

There are 3 ways to unlock new Ideas in Roots of Pacha:

  1. Complete a specific action.
  2. Complete a certain previous Idea.
  3. Reach a certain day.

Ideas are not missable, and all give things that are worth unlocking as soon as possible. Ideas that unlock a new crafting recipe will also give you a free copy of the item as well.
