Roburbia beginner guide: your first hour

This route is a community order, not an official tutorial. The official channel only has a 45-second trailer. I built the order from the developer’s 19 Oct 2026 post and from one creator’s early-November tips, and I say so when a step has only one of those.

Make your character

Character Studio opens with Appearance and Clothes. The face panel has sliders for eyes, brows, and mouth, plus Style, Skin, Paint, and Adjust. The button in the corner is “Start my story.” I am not listing a count of options, because the studio has not published one.

The starter house

You can tear the starter house down and rebuild it. Build mode and furniture mode are separate. Walls come down with a sledgehammer. On a controller, the developer’s readers were told to use the reticle. The catalog is large. No public source gives the starting cash or the starting lot size, so those stay blank.

First job and the daily task

  1. Open the phone, Careers, and pick a job. Florist is the one in the developer’s new-player preview.
  2. Walk into the clock-in circle. Needs pause on the clock. The shift clock pauses if you stand still.
  3. Visit city hall for the daily task. One creator says it pays coins.
  4. Check the mailbox. The same creator says a welcome letter and a gift are waiting.

Comfort, rain, and sprint

Rain without an umbrella drops comfort. One creator watched it fall from 89. You can hold the umbrella and a baby at the same time. A 3,000-coin wall TV raises fun and comfort. Sprint is Shift on PC. On a phone or a controller, push the stick all the way. The developer confirmed Shift, so that key has two sources. The stick method is the developer’s reply as well.

If the game stutters

Settings include a quality level. One creator suggests lowering it, and suggests a reinstall to clear a cache, as a last step. I pass that on as one person’s advice. A floor-height bug has a TikTok title and no written fix I can repeat, so I am not writing steps for it. There is also no public chest map. I looked for one and the results were other games, so this guide has no chest section.

Questions

How do you sprint?

Shift on PC. Push the movement stick fully on phone and controller. The developer confirmed Shift.

Can you delete the starter house?

Yes. The developer says you can tear it down and rebuild. Use the sledgehammer on walls.
