Heartopia D.G. Level Guide

Conflicting land reports
Community sources disagree about how many plots are available. Because the reports conflict, this guide does not select or publish a specific plot total. Treat the in-game interface for your version as authoritative.
Progression tips
- Check resident requests and your D.G. panel when you begin a session so you can choose activities that overlap.
- Follow in-game quest and unlock prompts before relying on an external level chart.
- Choose hobby activities you enjoy; reported unlock order does not require rushing every system.
- Use the map and characters pages to orient yourself, then verify destinations in your current game version.
