Doloc Town Weekly Gift Finder
Two parcels a week, three on a birthday — spend them on someone whose mail actually opens a door.
This page is the decision sheet for Doloc Town gifts. It is not a 29-row dump of every loved snack. Hearts unlock recipes, shop stock, story gates, and Steam achievements, but the clock only lets you hand over two parcels in a normal week — not two per villager. Birthdays raise that global cap to three. If you spend both slots on a random Outskirts face, Cassia / Kasia and Mayor Claud wait until next Monday. Pair this sheet with NPCs for who stands where, Friendships for heart math, and the live loved/hated tables on doloctowndb.wiki via the community database doorway.
Doloc Town is single-player. There is no shared affection board. Vanilla 1.0 launched August 5, 2026 on Steam app 2285550.
The cap that ruins casual gifters
Internalize this before you cook a tray of cake:
| Situation | Parcels you may give |
|---|---|
| Normal week | Two total |
| A villager’s birthday | Three total |
| Festival week | Extra talk windows, not infinite presents |
Loved gifts move the bar. Neutral gifts waste a slot. Hated gifts can stall an arc. Talk once per day per person; repeating empty lines does nothing. Festival days on Festivals compress conversations, not the parcel math.
The daily checklist exists so you do not forget mail after a heart popup. Recipe books from friends never appear in a vendor list.
Who should eat the two slots this week
Spend the cap on people who open systems, not on whoever is standing nearest the elevator:
- Cassia / Kasia — Tutorial plot. Steam’s Blooming Friendship uses the Kasia spelling. Cooked sweets beat raw Endyam. She is why Cooking is social, not just stamina.
- Mayor Claud — Town hall, Eden notebook, restoration bills. Dressed plates and civic materials. Missing his mail delays Walkthrough timers you thought were “just waiting.”
- Alchemy — Lab left of the elevator. Plant samples, gene-ready crops, rare herbs. Analyzer upgrades live here.
- Gerald — Builder discounts that keep machines alive in acid rain (Weather Protection).
- Mody and Cod — Mechanic and gunsmith. Batteries, wire, combat modules. Required before automation and drone combat stop feeling like a second job.
Lank, Hult, Merlin, Kenenimuu, Paiea, Sakko, and the Old City faces matter later. Do not max a Monday visitor if Claud’s letter is still unopened. Names and hours sit on NPCs. Loved-item rows sit on doloctowndb.wiki.
How to use the database gift tools
- Decide who from the list above. That decision is this wiki.
- Open doloctowndb.wiki and use their villager / gift finder for what they love and hate this patch. Counts move when they recrawl the client (about 29 villagers, 989 items, 481 recipes).
- Cook or forage that item on a rain day using Cooking and Gathering.
- Hand it over before you sell the last stack. Heart mail does not wait for Month 4 hoarding.
- Come back here if the next week’s cap should move to a different face.
If a number here disagrees with a catalog row, believe the catalog for the digit and this page for the job. A hated “gift” that sells for 200 G is still a wasted parcel.
Birthdays and calendar planning
Birthdays are the only reliable third parcel. Mark them on the in-game calendar the first time a villager mentions a date. The Thrive & Ties update line is why social play now has a weekly rhythm; 1.0’s Mushroom Fest and Long Night add extra talk, not extra cakes unless the event text says so.
Do not walk into a birthday empty-handed. Batch-cook two loved dishes the night before using the stamina foods list when a kitchen output doubles as a high-tier gift.
What this finder is not
It is not a dating sim FAQ. Bonds are platonic townie hearts. It is not a replacement for Friendships (heart gates, Blooming Friendship steps). It is not a replacement for doloctowndb.wiki (sortable loved/hated rows). It will not list Workshop NPCs.
Revisit after patches if a hotfix retunes gift values. Sell prices moved in 1.00.04; gift preferences are slower to change, but cooked-dish gold did move, so a “cheap loved plate” may no longer be cheap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
How many gifts can I give each week in Doloc Town?
Two parcels in a normal week, three on a birthday. That is a global cap, not two gifts per villager.
Where do I look up loved gifts?
On doloctowndb.wiki via the community database page. This finder tells you who should eat the cap.
Should I gift raw Endyam to Cassia?
Usually no. Cooked sweets and forage treats move her bar faster. See Friendships for Blooming Friendship.
Do festivals give extra gift slots?
They add extra conversation windows. They do not turn the weekly cap into unlimited presents unless event text says otherwise.
Is this the official gift list?
No. It is a wiki decision sheet. Live loved/hated rows live on the separate fan catalog.
Can I share hearts with a second player?
No. Doloc Town 1.0 is single-player. Hearts stay on your save.
