Loftia First Steps: Seeds, Water & Account Linking

Published Updated

Carrot seeds seem missing? Hold R to expand the selection wheel on keyboard. Watering can empty? Players report refill stations around Loftia City. Before leaving the Demo, link your Loftia website account inside the game to preserve progress and rewards.

The October Steam Demo has ended. These instructions document that Demo; current Early Access controls and reward availability have not been re-tested for this guide.

Choose the matching symptom below. Farming tips come from Demo players; the account-link requirement comes from Qloud Games.

Missing carrot seeds after talking to Hazel? Hold R

Community-reported

If Hazel gave you seeds after placing a garden bed but carrots seem absent, try holding R instead of tapping it. In the player thread, the original poster first checked the wheel and inventory, then found the seeds after expanding the wheel by holding the key. Other players reported the same confusion.

  • If the wheel does not expand, check your configured controls. The R tip describes a keyboard setup; use your displayed binding on a controller or remapped keyboard.
  • If the expanded wheel still has no seeds, note the quest text and what Hazel gave you, then report it through the official Demo help route. Keep your character and progress intact while checking.
  1. 1Stand in-game and press and hold R for a moment on keyboard.
  2. 2Inspect the larger selection wheel while the key is held.
  3. 3Select the carrot seeds if they appear, following the on-screen selection prompt.
  4. 4Return to your garden bed and follow the exact current objective in your quest journal.

How to refill your watering can

Community-reported

Look for a water refill station around Loftia City. A Reddit player described the stations as looking a little like solar panels; a separate Steam discussion also reports refilling in town. Use this as a visual search clue and confirm the refill prompt in your game.

  • If the can stays empty, confirm you used a refill station rather than a decorative solar panel. The reports do not establish an exact location or refill amount.
  1. 1Read the tutorial popup shown when you run out of water, if it is still available.
  2. 2Search around Loftia City for a refill station; check nearby equipment for the actual refill interaction.
  3. 3Use the displayed interaction, then check the watering can before returning to your crops.
  4. 4If you want a station at home, inspect your available crafting recipes. Players report a craftable station, but the current recipe and unlock requirements need checking in your game.

Check the right condition for a missing reward

Official source

Entering the Player Neighborhood unlocks the Demo Banner; the Pebble Chair and Couch depend on inviting friends. The developer says the neighborhood can be reached during the opening minutes, but the unlock condition is reaching it, not simply running a timer.

A locked district or Level 5 may be the Demo limit

Official source

The Demo story ends before Hanging Gardens, and the developer’s Early Access preview describes a Demo proficiency cap of Level 5. Reaching either boundary is different from being unable to complete an available farming objective.

  • For a locked region, compare the official Early Access preview before following an older Beta route.
  • For a crop task still active in your journal, check seeds and water first; report the exact objective if those checks do not help.

First-steps questions

Scroll across to compare all columns.

QuestionPractical answer
Should I buy replacement seeds immediately?Try the expanded wheel first. The player-confirmed case was a selection issue; only spend resources after checking your actual quest and available seeds.
What if I use a controller?Check the wheel binding shown in the current game controls. The verified community discussion names keyboard R; it does not establish a controller button.
Should I craft a refill station or go into town?For an empty can during the opening task, look for a town refill station first. Craft a home station when your own recipe list shows its requirements.
Can I solve a stuck task by playing offline?Loftia requires an internet connection, including solo play. Keep the session online and use the symptom checks above.
When should I report a bug?Report it when the current objective remains blocked after checking the configured wheel key, available seeds and refill interaction. Include your build/date, PC or Mac, input device, exact quest text and steps that reproduce the problem.
