Hello Bartr,
- I think you need to just pick up the items when you have enough money
- The thing in between was a little secret, it's a toilet. You can use one of the action buttons to "poop" if you waited long enough, you can use this on plowed land to decrease the grow time of placed crops.
The game is currently in a pretty bad state. I was planning an update that completely overhauls the game but I still need to find the time to do this...
Thanks for playing!
