It might be a good idea, as the first contributor suggested, to provide a little advice for starting up your island in the most efficient way. But I don't think saying what food is best, etc, is the way to go, simply because this is too dependant on home circumstances, I.e. how long you will be away from your device for, how much you can be bothered sitting there micromanaging your farms.

I mean it is fairly obvious that the most efficient food is the first one that takes 30 seconds. For each subsequent food the efficiency deteriorates based on time to complete. Magic farm foods even more so, but based on numbers. But how many people will be happy to sit the clicking on their farms every 30 seconds?! Besides which, that kind of information is easy to work out for everyone and doesn't require specialist knowledge.

Way I would suggest is something along the lines of a start-up guide, possibly for different goals. Want to get the Eagle dragon as quickly as possible? Here's how, from which habitats to place to how many dragons of each type to get. Want to expand to the dawn tree in the quickest possible time? Here are the territories you should expand to first, and you will need at least this many neighbours to get enough maps in the right amount of time. That kind of thing. Take some of Thor all of the quest objectives, or some generic starting objectives that some new players may want, and tell them the most efficient way to go about doing that.
