About
TheEighthDay is a long term Blockheads player, having downloaded the game when it first came out onto his now ancient iPod 4, which he still uses solely for the purpose of playing on his oldest and richest Blockheads world. New to the Blockheads Wiki as of May 2015, TheEighthDay knows a good deal about the game but is always eager to learn more.

Tips
I am assuming that everyone who is reading this knows how to start off a basic game, so I'll stick to my favorite tips and tricks for advanced players.
- Once a player obtains the level 6 trade portal, he or she should start crafting and selling Gold Spades. It takes three Gold Ingots and one Stick to craft a Gold Spade, but in the Trade Portal, one can sell each spade for anywhere between 16 and 19 Platinum Coins, as far as I have seen. The player can then easily convert just one of these Platinum Coins into 100 Gold Coins, and then smelt them down using the Furnace or Electric Furnace into ten Gold Bars, which can then be used with more sticks to create more Golden Spades, thus creative a infinite supply of Platinum, Gold, and Copper (if converted to Copper Coins).
- Also, what I spend much of my time doing when I am not busy searching for Titanium (the bane of my existence, as I have never found more than one in a single location), is farming. What I prefer to do is cover a large plot of land in Compost (now easily obtainable due to the Compost Bin) and then plant Coffee Tree's using Coffee Cherries, and in between the trees I plant Sunflower seeds. This provides me with ample Coffee Beans (vital for the production of Coffee, an absolute necessity for my Blockheads) and sunflower seeds, which, at a Press or Electic Press, can each be used to make two Oil with minimum effort, thus eliminating the need for mining for Oil, however simple a task it may be.
- Another useful project I completed was the construction of a well. In order for this to work, you must be close enough to an ocean or body of water that the water can reach your well without drying up. I merely dug a long subterranean aqueduct from a nearby ocean to a well nearby my residence, which then I sped up the process of filling by placing buckets of water in the tunnel. This would obviously work much better if the player built his or her home nearby a mountain with a lake on top. This is not a perfect design, and I would be open to suggestions on how to improve it. Be warned, Sharks can enter the aqueduct of it is at sea level.
Ideas
Automated Crafting I love the Blockheads, but sometimes, crafting can be sometimes tedious. While I understand the need for the game to be highly interactive, sometimes I wish there was a way to craft without actually having your Blockhead standing there. My idea was this: -Either develop new automated machines that run on electricity, or revamp the current ones to include a hopper function. It would work by having the Blockhead place an item (eg. Oil) into the hopper of a machine (eg. Refinery). The Blockhead would then choose what item he or she would like to craft (eg. Fuel) and could then walk away while the machine does the work. The hopper would work the same way as a Chest, and the completed product would be placed into another Chest. The machine would of course take up more electricity than if the Blockhead were to refine or craft the items manually, but the Blockhead would not have to be present during the actual crafting process. This already half-exists in the form of the Steam Generator, where the user places a fuel source, usually Coal, into the generator, and can walk away while it produces electrify. The Automated Crafting idea would be basically the same thing.
Alternate Uses For Clay --- Sculpting - The Blockhead could use clay at a potters wheel to make pots or urns (alternatives to Chests, a more decorative feature that can be painted), or to sculpt Terra-Cotta Statues.
