** Use care with tap to move near the edges of the play surface. It is very easy to accidentally change the selected tool, resulting in unexpected gifting or bomb usage.

* Auto-attack - when in [[The Mines]] if a weapon is selected (''e.g.,'' sword, dagger, club) then it will automatically face and attack any enemies that come within range. You can tap elsewhere to walk away, however you cannot move while the weapon is in mid-swing.

* Auto-attack - When an enemy comes within attack range and a weapon, other tool, or nothing is equipped, the farmer will automatically turn to face that enemy and attack with the primary attack of the equipped weapon. If a tool is equipped or nothing is equipped and a weapon is in the inventory, the farmer will first equip the weapon; if multiple weapons are in the inventory, the farmer will equip either the most recently used weapon or the one in the highest inventory slot.
Note that some elements of the game that require careful positioning (''e.g.,'' solving some [[Secret Notes]]) can not be completed using the default controls; temporarily switching to a control style with a movement joystick is necessary in such cases.

** An equipped scythe can be used for attack and will not cause the selection of an actual weapon (''e.g.'' sword, dagger, or club).
 +
** A slingshot will not auto-attack and the farmer will not select a weapon for auto-attack while holding one.
 +
** The farmer will not auto-attack while holding non-tool items (''e.g.'' bombs, food, or staircases).
 +
** Tapping directly on an enemy will cause the farmer to walk to that enemy and then use their weapon's secondary attack. This is the only way to perform a secondary attack.
 +
** The farmer will not attack while performing another action, including walking to a tapped location or tapped enemy.
 +
** You can tap elsewhere to walk away while in attack range, but only between attack actions: you cannot move while the weapon is in mid-swing.
 +
** The farmer will continue to attack until the enemy is killed or out of range. Use caution with enemies such as [[Mummy|mummies]] which cannot be killed by normal weapons, since the farmer will continue to attack.
 +
** The calculation of "within attack range" is approximate. It may trigger for unreachable enemies behind rocks in a diagonal line, and may not trigger soon enough for fast-moving enemies such as leaping slimes. When wielding a dagger, it may trigger for enemies which are close enough diagonally for a sword strike but not in line for a dagger strike.
