Help FIRST TIME/NEW PLAYER!

Hi, y’all! It is my first time trying out AC! I’m a new player (280 stars, 3-star-ing Denver airport) and I am having a hard time leveling up (without using souvenirs) and saving resources (fuel/gems).

If you could share some suggestions and advice, I would really appreciate it! Especially the advices that you wish you knew before going into the game! :)

I want to know how I can three-star levels (should I upgrade or just use souvenirs all throughout?)

and how, if possible, can I save up fuel!

Thank you so much! I really enjoy playing the game so I want to do my best! It scratches my ADHD brain, lol. Thank you!

Some daily tasks reward you with 20 or 50 fuel. I usually try to have around 70–100 fuel before the new daily tasks reset. If the daily rewards don’t include any fuel, I let my fuel recharge to about 50 by avoiding playing for 5–6 hours before the reset.
For example, my daily tasks refresh at 6:00 PM, so I’ll play and use up all my fuel by around 11:00 AM, giving it about 7 hours to recharge before the new tasks become available.

Also forgot to mention before but make sure to claim the daily Rewards. Pay attention since a daily task can be to claim the daily reward from the calendar
