How to Unlock & Buy 4-8 Home Plots in Heartopia
Quick Answer
To unlock more home plots in Heartopia, you need to level up your D.G. Member rank by completing Daily Resident Requests. Your first expansion (from 2 to 4 plots) unlocks at D.G. Level 4. You can own up to 8 plots total at D.G. Level 14.
⚡ 4-Plot Speedrun Guide (Reach D.G. Level 4 in 3-4 Days)
Want to expand from 2 to 4 plots as quickly as possible? Follow this optimized progression path designed for new players:
🎯 Goal: D.G. Level 4 in 72-96 Hours
You need 1,000 Contribution Medals total to reach Level 4. Daily requests give 250 medals/day, so completing all 5 requests for 4 consecutive days gets you there fastest.
Day 1-4 Strategy
Morning: Prep Your Storage (6:00 AM reset)
Stock these common request items: Wheat x20, Tomatoes x15, Any Fish x10, Eggs x10, Milk x10. These cover 80% of early requests.
Accept All 5 Requests Immediately
Open your Watch → D.G. Member's Guild → Request Board. Grab all 5 slots. If a request seems impossible (rare materials), you can abandon and refresh once per day.
Complete Requests by Evening
Most requests take 30-60 minutes total. Turn in completed requests to villagers for 50 medals each (250 medals/day if you complete all 5).
Earn Gold for Plot Purchase (1,000-1,500 needed)
While waiting for next day's requests, earn gold by: Selling extra crops to shop (Tomatoes = 40g each), Fishing high-value fish (Trout = 60g), or Fulfilling shop orders for bonus gold.
💰 Gold Farming Priority List
- Best: Complete shop orders (100-300g each)
- Good: Sell cooked 2-star dishes (Tomato Soup = 80g)
- Decent: Sell raw high-value crops (Strawberries, Blueberries)
- Avoid: Don't sell Wheat or basic materials (needed for requests)

| Day | Medals Earned | Total Medals | D.G. Level | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | 250 | 250 | Level 1 → 2 | Complete 5 requests |

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't skip days: Missing even one day adds 24h to your timeline
- Don't waste gold early: Save 1,500g for plot purchases before buying cosmetics
- Don't abandon all hard requests: Some "hard" requests give rare rewards worth the effort
- Don't forget to claim: Completed requests don't auto-reward, you must turn them in to villagers

Understanding Home Plots
Home plots are the building blocks of your property in Heartopia. Each plot provides space where you can place furniture, decorations, gardens, and expand your dream home. When you first start the game, you have access to only 2 home plots, but as you progress, you can unlock up to 8 plots total.
The home plot system is tied directly to the D.G. Member's Guild (Development Guild), which serves as the primary progression system in Heartopia. Understanding how this works is essential if you want to expand your property efficiently.
Plot Size & Space Planning
Each home plot is an 8 × 5 tile rectangle. Plan your layout around repeatable 8×5 modules so you can expand without rebuilding everything each time you unlock a new plot.
Gold planning tip: Buy new plots as soon as they unlock, then dedicate one plot to storage and production so your other plots stay clean and aesthetic.

Each D.G. Member level milestone unlocks additional home plots. Here's the complete breakdown showing exactly how many medals and coins you need:

💡 How Medal Costs Work
- Each request = 10 Contribution Medals
- 5 requests/day = 50 medals/day
- Level 1→2: ~10 medals (1 day)
- Level 2→3: ~20 medals (1 day)
- Level 3→4: ~170 medals (3-4 days)
- Medal requirements increase with each level
💰 Gold Cost Scaling Explained
- Plot #3: ~100-300 gold (first expansion)
- Plot #4: ~300-700 gold
- Plot #5: ~1,500 gold
- Plot #6: ~2,500 gold
- Plots #7-8: 3,000-4,000 gold each

⚠️ Important: Two Costs Required!
Unlocking ≠ Owning: Reaching a D.G. level only makes plots available for purchase. You must also spend Gold to actually acquire each plot. Budget for both!

How to Level Up D.G. Membership Fast
The primary way to earn D.G. experience and level up is through Daily Resident Requests (also called Daily Delegations). Here's the step-by-step process:
Accept Daily Requests
Each day, you can accept up to 5 requests from village residents. These appear as speech bubbles above their heads or in your quest journal.
Complete the Tasks
Requests typically ask for items like crops, fish, or cooked dishes. Fulfill what the villager needs to complete the request.
Earn Contribution Medals
Each completed request rewards you with Contribution Medals, which directly contribute to your D.G. level progression.
Repeat Daily
Requests reset at 6:00 AM server time. Complete all 5 requests every day for the fastest progression.
Pro Tip
Keep a stock of common items like Wheat, Tomatoes, and basic Fish in your storage. This way, you can quickly fulfill requests without having to farm or fish on the spot!
How to Purchase Unlocked Plots
Once you've reached the required D.G. level, follow these steps to buy your new plots:
- Open your Watch menu and navigate to the D.G. Member's Guild app
- Select the "Plot" tab
- You'll see a map view of available plots near your property
- Select any purchasable plot (highlighted in green)
- Confirm the Gold payment to acquire the plot
After purchase, the new plot immediately becomes part of your home area. You can now place furniture, decorations, and expand your building projects onto this space.
📍 Which Plots Should You Buy First? (Strategic Recommendations)
Not all plots are created equal! Here's the optimal purchase order based on community feedback and building efficiency:
🥇 Priority 1: Plots 3 & 4 (First Expansion at Level 4)
Recommended: Buy the plots directly adjacent to your starting 2 plots (typically the ones on the east and south sides).
- Why: Creates a compact 2×2 block (4 plots total) for efficient pathways
- Best for: Single large house design or coordinated garden layout
- Avoid: Don't buy diagonal plots first—they create awkward gaps
🥈 Priority 2: Plot 5 (Level 6 Unlock)
Recommended: Extend your 2×2 block into a line (2×3 or 3×2 shape).
- Why: Allows for long narrow buildings (barns, workshop rows)
- Best for: Players focused on production/crafting zones
- Alternative: If you prefer aesthetics, buy a plot across from your house for a "courtyard" design
🥉 Priority 3: Plots 6-8 (Levels 8, 11, 14)
Recommended: Fill in remaining corner gaps or extend in one direction for a "manor estate" layout.
- Plot 6: Complete your main building cluster
- Plot 7: Add a separate "guest house" or utility building area
- Plot 8: Create a decorative entrance or garden showcase zone
❌ Plot Layouts to Avoid (Common Beginner Mistakes)
- Checkerboard pattern: Buying non-adjacent plots creates isolated islands (wastes pathways)
- Linear only: Buying all plots in a single line (1×8) limits building shapes
- Diagonal first: Buying corner plots before side plots makes connections awkward
Pro tip: Plan your final 8-plot layout before buying Plot 3, so you know which direction to expand.
🏠 Example Layouts for 4-Plot and 8-Plot Configurations
4-Plot Layouts (Level 4):
- Square Block (2×2): Best for beginners, compact and efficient
- L-Shape: Good if you want to keep one corner open for future gardens
- Line (1×4): Only if you plan to build a long, narrow estate
8-Plot Layouts (Level 14):
- Rectangle (2×4): Most popular layout for large house + outdoor areas
- U-Shape: Creates a central courtyard (great for aesthetic builds)
- T-Shape: Main house in front, side wings for gardens and workshops
💡 Layout Planning Tool
Before purchasing, sketch your desired layout on paper or use a grid app. Each plot is 8×5 tiles, so an 8-plot property can be up to 64 tiles long if arranged linearly (though we recommend maximum 4×2 or 2×4 for efficiency).
Layout Optimization Tips
- Modular planning: Design each 8×5 plot as a self-contained room or yard zone.
- Keep utilities together: Place storage, crafting, and cooking in one dedicated plot for efficiency.
- Path first: Lay paths before furniture so expansion doesn't break walkways.
- Future-proof edges: Leave one row/column free along plot borders for expansion connections.
Layout Example
Plot 1: House + storage • Plot 2: Garden • Plot 3: Decorative yard • Plot 4: Outdoor workshop
