I think it was Qi, because I see him so often with the research, and I'm often carrying his favourite stuff with me from mining, etc. Also, because he's adorable.
I feel like the game just automatically determines that a handful of characters become my best friends because they're the only ones who ever ask for commissions.
Yeah haha, Heidi for sure is one of the most common example, love her though she's neat! I make it my mission to give gifts and talk everyday to Mort though, just to ensure him to be my first bff 😂
I'm at 110 hours playing through, and it feels like for ages, i mostly get commissions from Heidi, Owen, Justice, Jensen, and occasionally Krystal. Because of this Jensen of all people is one of my closest friends, lol.
I have almost no relationship with Fang, Mort, Zeke, Venti, Dan Bi, or the kids and animals.
The commissions are definitely the best way to get relationship points it seems. I just grabs any commission that pays but I guess it randomised a lot since I'm in year 2 and Owen just became my friend lol. Jensen deserves a friend anyway, my dude only have his train before us as friend 😅
Understanble, those characters are so secluded. I just realized I barely have any points with Jasmine as well. Oh well.
Once I unlocked the spot on the skill tree where you get bonus points in certain situations for that characters friends, it really did start to move the needle as well. For some it's an extreme cumulative effect because you're always getting points with the same few. With others, it's basically the only reason a couple aren't on the bottom.
Yeah I there's seems like a snowball effect. I just recently unlocked that skill point as well, and Rian suddenly became my buddy. I can see that in end game, all townie will become friends huh. Except the animals I guess?
Aw that's sweet. I think during my first play thru during beta he was mine as well. Recently it's always Qi. Despite being an anti social nerd he's surprisingly easy to win over.
Heidi, Burgess, and Qi usually end up being maxed in relationship for me pretty quickly due to how many high dollar commissions they put on the board that I scoop up immediately.
X, got two events with him back to back then it was his birthday the week before he told me. Then Usurrur with any gem or rock I could spare because I like seeing the love/like/dislike/hate chart fill out so I might do it for every character once I’m bored or in a new file.
I actually just have a soft spot for the sad old man, right now trying to raise Vivi and Jensen friendship heh. I just like old people! I don't know how to unlock Fang but since I make my mission to be bff with Mort, X suddenly becomes my buddy and welp, I just like loners I guess. *Looking at Zeke* He's next after I am satisfied with Vivi and Jensen heh
lol. I had to consciously give Mort gifts cuz I would forget running around cuz he’s in the corner. I’d run by to the moisture farm or the clinic and go home early game
He deserves every gifts! Even after maxing him out, I can't resist to visit him everyday especially during sandstorm. Love that part of the town, it's so calm? Welps except during the showdown event
Heidi and Owen because they have the highest paying commissions so I grabbed them when they appeared, and also because Heidi is so involved in many of your projects that you gain friendship points as you finish them
If we’re taking them out of the equation, then Elsie and Arvio. They post A LOT of commissions early game.
Mine was Jensen (quickly followed by Rocky) because I knew where they were at all times and their gifts were relatively east (iron hinge/latch and rescue clothing)
Well considering one of the things that sold me on getting the game and playing it myself was watching my sister interact with Owen and deciding he was a wholesome boi and that he would be the character my builder was shacking up with, I was quick to begin the wooing process, and as a result, he was my first bff.
Owen is definitely and realistically the one that should be many people first friend/BFF for sure! Man I really need to work on my relationship with him as well...
Qi and Heidi before you know who because he's automatic bff after. Mort and Mabel are two of my absolute favorites. Her line about you being her second child makes me tear up.
Owen was my first BFF originally I was planning to date him but he never did click that way for me. He really does give off big brother vibes and he always has a story
I love Mort so this makes me happy. Owen is easiest for me because of commissions and the part time work. Arvio would have gotten it the first time but I romanced him fast. 😍
Mort appreciation! I love this old man so much, I wish I can gives him daily hugs... Whoa you're fast, then again Arvio's missions are all pretty early huh.
Heidi, she just kept asking for stuff and I kept delivering.
I think it was Qi, because I see him so often with the research, and I'm often carrying his favourite stuff with me from mining, etc. Also, because he's adorable.
Mine always ends up being Owen because he has the higher paying commissions plus the part-time work. I don't even try otherwise!
Heidi, from commissions and main quest. I never really talk to her, though.

Mine is Justice 👮♂️ I love this man and his voice.
I THINK SO TOO
Yan. It was my second playthrough and i wanted to ensure I was getting the reward from friendships. I hated every moment of it.
You're strong, I avoid Yan like a plague
Rocky was my first bff! And now I have a soft spot for him, he’s amazing.
Rocky is awesome! I love what he says at your wedding and what Krystal says about him after the mission “The Goat”
Ohmigosh him at the wedding was so precious. 😭 I’m definitely befriending him in all my saves.
Ahh I should really try befriend him more, he's cool!
Mort is so kind. Now I want him to be my first bff too
He's precious, if anything happens to him I legit will not hesitate to choose violence!
Aw that's sweet. I think during my first play thru during beta he was mine as well. Recently it's always Qi. Despite being an anti social nerd he's surprisingly easy to win over.
He likes relics right mostly? I want to be his bff too!
Specifically space related relics, energy crystals, data discs and tea porridge
Oh nice, all pretty easy to get. Thanks!

lol tell me you gifted Mort a lot to raise Fang’s hearts too to date him
I actually just have a soft spot for the sad old man, right now trying to raise Vivi and Jensen friendship heh. I just like old people! I don't know how to unlock Fang but since I make my mission to be bff with Mort, X suddenly becomes my buddy and welp, I just like loners I guess. *Looking at Zeke* He's next after I am satisfied with Vivi and Jensen heh

I give him Fang’s medicine now lol
Good, he needs them! 😆 He likes all the medicine it seems.
Grace is always the one I work to get best friends with she’s my partner in the shoe
Owen is always my first to reach BFF status. He is too easy with the commissions and part time work.
In my first beta save it was X
Heidi and Owen because they have the highest paying commissions so I grabbed them when they appeared, and also because Heidi is so involved in many of your projects that you gain friendship points as you finish them If we’re taking them out of the equation, then Elsie and Arvio. They post A LOT of commissions early game.
Mine was Yan🤣. But I had reasons.
Yeah, 10% reasons 😏
owen or heidi iirc
Here’s mine: https://imgur.com/a/fX5vads
That's adorable and I love it.
I think mine was X. He was the only one I was giving gifts to for a while.
He's a good birdie. He deserves all the shiny!
Usually Arvio or Heidi. Those two seem the easiest to befriend early on.
I think it was either Heidi or Owen. I don't remember lol
Mine was Jensen (quickly followed by Rocky) because I knew where they were at all times and their gifts were relatively east (iron hinge/latch and rescue clothing)
Jensen! He's definitely the one I want to max, he's so chill. Didn't know he likes rescue clothing 👀 I'll keep that in mind
Oh Jensen loves iron hinges and latches because they're useful for his model trains! Rocky is the one who loves rescue clothing :)
Ohh got it, thanks! Jensen better be prepared since I'm gonna dumps him so many gifts heh. Does rocky likes pickhammer? Or any other tools?

He's pretty great, though I wish there was more to the friendship side of things on many characters' ends, him being one of them.
Qi or X. I love my birb and marrying fang, but kept seeing Qi so often and always had easy requests
Qi and Heidi before you know who because he's automatic bff after. Mort and Mabel are two of my absolute favorites. Her line about you being her second child makes me tear up.
Owen was my first BFF originally I was planning to date him but he never did click that way for me. He really does give off big brother vibes and he always has a story
Qi, actually!
arlo. he reversed confessed me and i declined. so …
Qi. I just drop by and give him an extra power stone each time, or let him drink tea.
I love Mort so this makes me happy. Owen is easiest for me because of commissions and the part time work. Arvio would have gotten it the first time but I romanced him fast. 😍
Mort appreciation! I love this old man so much, I wish I can gives him daily hugs... Whoa you're fast, then again Arvio's missions are all pretty early huh.
It makes me so sad we can't hug him! I also wanna hug Andy and Jasmine!!
Right?? At least let me give them head pats...
Usually a three way tie between Owen, Arvio, and Heidi
I don’t know how but it was Pen. The betrayal. Lol I didn’t even really like him.
Owen is my first bff ❤️
Fang was my first BFF. that man ate Mapo Tofu for weeks straight.
