Capybara Collection Overview
Capyon Onsen features a total of 36 unique capybara types for players to discover. Collecting these guests is a core progression system that ties directly into the development of your hot spring. As you expand your onsen and improve its facilities, you will naturally attract capybaras from different regions, each adding to your overall collection count.
New capybara types are often tied to specific upgrades or milestones. Focus on expanding your onsen capacity and improving water quality to encourage rarer guests to visit.
The collection is not just for show; it represents the growth of your business. Each capybara contributes to the idle income generated by the onsen, and filling out the collection log is a satisfying long-term goal for players who enjoy completionist gameplay.
| Feature | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Total Types | 36 unique collectible capybaras | Completion goal and collection variety |
| Regional Variants | Guests from different in-game regions | Encourages continued progression |
| Idle Income | Each guest generates resources | Passive economy growth |
| Customization | Unlock unique looks for capybaras | Personalize your onsen experience |
How to Invite New Capybaras
Attracting new guests is the primary way to expand your collection. The game uses an invitation system where developing your onsen acts as the main lure for wild capybaras.
Expand Onsen Capacity
The most direct way to invite more guests is to increase the physical space of your hot spring. Early on, your onsen can only support a small number of capybaras. Use your income to purchase expansion upgrades, which allow a higher maximum guest count.
Improve Water Quality
Capybaras are picky about their baths. Upgrading the water quality of your onsen makes it more attractive to higher-tier guests. Better water quality leads to better tips and faster favour progression with your current guests.
Maintain High Happiness
Word spreads when capybaras are happy. Ensure your current guests are well-fed and clean. A happy onsen attracts more visitors than a neglected one. Keep an eye on their needs and interact with them regularly.
Unlock Regional Access
As you progress, you will unlock access to different regions. Each region hosts specific types of capybaras. You may need to reach certain milestones or upgrade specific facilities to attract guests from these distant areas.
Do not neglect expansion upgrades. If your onsen is full, new guests cannot visit, even if you have met the requirements for their arrival. Always keep an eye on your guest count versus your maximum capacity.
Friendship and Favour System
Once a capybara visits, building a relationship with them is key to maximizing their potential. The Favour system tracks how close you are to each guest, eventually leading to the Best Friend status.
Feeding
- Primary interaction for favour
- Use Home Garden crops
- Unlocks specific treats
Brushing
- Hygiene maintenance
- Increases happiness
- Required for Best Friend
Playing
- Active engagement
- Boosts mood
- Strengthens bond
Reaching the Best Friend milestone with a capybara is a significant achievement. It signifies that you have maximized your relationship with that guest, often unlocking unique customization options or bonuses related to that specific capybara. This system encourages players to care for their guests individually rather than just treating them as income generators.
| Interaction | Effect | Resource Used |
|---|---|---|
| Feeding | +Favour, +Happiness | Crops / Store-bought food |
| Brushing | +Happiness, Cleanliness | Time / Grooming tools |
| Playing | +Favour, +Bond Strength | Active playtime |
| Best Friend | Max Relationship | Cumulative Care |
Home Garden and Treats
The Home Garden is an essential system for supporting your capybara collection. It allows you to grow crops that can be converted into treats. These treats are often more effective at building favour than standard food options.
Growing your own treats provides a sustainable way to maintain high favour levels without relying solely on store purchases. It integrates farming mechanics into the idle loop.
To utilize the garden, you must first unlock the feature through standard progression. Once available, you can plant various seeds. These crops grow over time, fitting the game's idle nature. Harvesting them provides the raw materials needed to bake or craft special treats for your capybaras.
| Crop Type | Use Case | Favour Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Veggies | Standard daily feeding | Low to Moderate |
| Fruits | Special treats for guests | High |
| Rare Grains | High-tier capybara snacks | Very High |
| Garden Flowers | Decorative / Special quests | Variable |
