Pa’s Workshop and Crafting
My Time at Portia allows players to build a 3D workshop that can be further used to craft items. This 3D workshop is named Pa’s workshop in-game, where players can bring the gathered material they acquired by exploring different corners of the map to craft stuff for themselves.
Apart from crafting items, players can participate in the town-related missions that feature helping others and expanding the town using their craftsmanship. The game provides an opportunity to players to build a variety of stuff, from a basic sewing machine to a high-tech flying seat, and even develop animal husbandry.

My Time at Portia’s in-game town Portia features around 50 interactable NPCs. Players can interact with them to develop relations of friendship and love that can help them later during various in-game tasks.
Players can ride or swing a hot air balloon with their favorite NPC to improve their relationship. Players can develop these relationships further into starting a family and embracing parenthood.
