Builders can light beacons to increase your area of influence.
Belief is what the more advanced huts produce, and it the in-game currency that allows you to change the land as desired. Only sculpt land that you will immediately use to conserve Belief. You will eventually have to start working on higher ground, and this requires a lot of forethought. When collecting Belief from homes, there is no need to tap them individually. Tap and drag over all of them to collect Belief efficiently. Log in as often as possible to collect the available Belief and make room for more to accumulate. The starting houses cannot hold too much of it. You can earn some extra Belief by removing rocks and trees. You can also spend Gems to speed things up and get a boost in your Belief production.
Work towards cards that are most important to you. For example, x3 Stronger Sculpting is not as useful as Finger of God or Swamps. When you unlock the Command Followers card, you will be able to command a follower to distant plots of land. You can do this with roaming followers or those that are within a hut. You can also combine the path then drag and hold a group of followers to move all of them to the same location.
Use Rain Of Purity on Crop Fields to have wheat to grow faster. Do this to feed starving followers when times are difficult and you cannot wait for the next batch to be harvest naturally.
Completely destroy the Astari. Do this by expanding your population until you unlock the Swamp card in your God Powers. Purchase it for 4,000 Belief and place Swamps on the Astari settlement to wipe them out. Also look at which paths they use the most during their festivals and place Swamps there. After the Astari are gone, send as many Followers as possible into the Temple of Doom (also known as Pit of Doom in the PC version) to produce Diamonds without the risk of losing people. Send your people from the smaller huts into the Temple of Doom to allow them the least amount of time to repopulate.
Advance the system times by as many hours as desired to get new Belief to collect, farms and mines to be ready, and new chests with stickers of gems. Then, set the time back to its correct value.
If your people are less happier than the Astari during a festival, you will lose some Followers to them (usually from the same settlement). To keep your citizens happy, use God Powers. Use the God Seed to plant trees just before an Astari festival is about to start, and just enough for your Followers to be above the Astari. Do not plant too much, as each seed costs progressively more. Use the Rain of Purity and Beautify similarly when they become available. You can also decrease Astari happiness, by using Meteor Showers, Swamps, and Fingers of God. You can also destroy them by removing layers from below them until they fall and drown in the water.
To complete requirements that involve getting a specific number of people to inhabiting your lands easier, shape the land to create as many locations available for building shelter as possible. Plan and build them as compact as possible to get the maximum use from the land. Also try to remove high layers to have huts and abodes built on the same level. The more advanced the house becomes, the longer it takes for the workers to finish its construction. When starting, place huts next to the areas that the workers need to access. Only the closest, connected people will work on new tasks. You will eventually unlock a way to directly control the Followers, but until then, it will be easier to keep things in proximity. The biggest goal is to expand your population, because more Followers give you more options. Always have your builders working on shelter, the more advanced, the better in order to benefit more people. When a blue outline with a hammer above a house appears, it indicates that property can be built nearby. The bigger your settlement, the less likely your followers will join the Astari. Check what type of landscape gives you the best Abode and build there. Destroy houses using the Finger of God, get the extra layers, then build new houses there at the best locations. For best results, do this after removing the Astari. Although risky if the Astari are still present, when you build new settlements, include an older settlement in the circle. This will help optimize space and get more followers. To get your followers to reach higher grounds, you first need to create steps by sculpting the land.
You will eventually get the ability to Leash your Followers and have them work wherever needed. Because this costs Belief, use this technique to progress faster only it really needed. Otherwise, simply expand to get people close enough to where you want them to work.
Never send more Followers than you need to save, because if you lose, you will lose all of them. Plan all your moves ahead by looking at the island to learn what you have to do, and where obstacles are located. Block paths to stop your Followers from moving in a dangerous direction while quickly creating a safer route. Do not spend gems on speeding up your reinforcements.
Stickers can be obtained from chests. Drag a sticker onto the Abode card to activate it. The color of the tabs must match the card. Not all cards need to be activated with stickers.
When flying smiley faces appear, they indicate treasure chests which contain special items that will allow you to unlock new cards. Sculpt the land to get access to hidden chests. Chests with new stickers and diamonds respawn regularly. Search the map regularly.
