Core Mechanics

Planting and Harvesting

Plant seeds and harvest crops to earn Sheckles

Details

Players purchase seeds from Sam’s Shop, plant them on their plot, and harvest crops once mature. Crops are divided into single-harvest (e.g., Carrots) and multi-harvest (e.g., Tomatoes, Strawberries). Crops continue growing even when offline, supporting idle gameplay.

Tips

Prioritize multi-harvest crops to save replanting time. Use the Harvest Tool for efficient collection of multiple fruits (5+).

Examples

  • Single-harvest: Carrots, harvested once
  • Multi-harvest: Tomatoes, yield fruit multiple times
  • Offline Growth: Crops mature while offline
  • Harvest Tool: Quickly collects 5+ fruits

Core Mechanics

Crop Mutations

Random or triggered changes that significantly boost crop value

Details

Mutations can occur randomly, via weather, sprinklers, or pets, and can stack to multiply crop value. The price formula is: Total Price = Fruit Constant × Mass² × Growth Mutation × (1 + Σ Mutations - Number of Mutations).

Tips

Combine sprinklers and pets like Moon Cat to boost mutation chances. Plant high-value crops during specific weather events like Thunderstorms or Meteor Showers.

Examples

  • Wet (2x) - Triggered during Rain
  • Shocked (100x) - Triggered during Thunderstorms with Lightning Rod
  • Celestial (120x) - Triggered during Meteor Showers with Star Caller
  • Gold (20x) - Random or via Dragonfly
  • Rainbow (50x) - Rare random mutation
  • Choc (2x) - Triggered by Chocolate Sprinkler

Core Mechanics

Weather Events

Dynamic weather conditions that affect crop growth and mutations

Details

Weather events occur randomly and impact all crops, potentially triggering specific mutations. Tools like the Lightning Rod or Star Caller enhance event-specific mutation chances.

Tips

Monitor the in-game timer for weather event schedules. Use event-specific tools to maximize mutation triggers.

Examples

  • Rain - Speeds growth, 50% chance for Wet mutation (2x)
  • Thunderstorm - Triggers Shocked mutation (100x)
  • Meteor Shower - Triggers Celestial (120x) or Meteoric mutations
  • Nightfall - Triggers Moonlit mutation (2x)
  • Blood Moon - Triggers Bloodlit mutation (4x)

Advanced Techniques

Sprinkler Method

Strategic sprinkler placement to maximize crop size and mutation chances

Details

Place one sprinkler of each rarity (Basic, Advanced, Godly, Master) around high-value crops, then leave the game running for ~2 hours to maximize size and mutation effects. Event sprinklers like Chocolate Sprinkler trigger unique mutations.

Tips

Use Moon Melon as the target crop and pair with Moon Cats for enhanced results. Check sprinkler durability regularly.

Examples

  • Combination: 1x Basic, 1x Advanced, 1x Godly, 1x Master Sprinkler
  • Event Sprinkler: Chocolate Sprinkler triggers Choc mutation
  • Offline for ~2 hours: Maximizes sprinkler effects
  • Target Crop: Moon Melon

Core Mechanics

Pet System

Companion pets that provide passive boosts to farming efficiency

Details

Pets are obtained by hatching eggs (e.g., Common Egg costs 50,000 Sheckles) and offer boosts like faster growth, higher mutation chances, or resource digging. Pet effects stack, and feeding increases their level.

Tips

Prioritize hatching Bee Eggs for Petal Bee to trigger Pollinated mutations. Use multiple Moon Cats (ideally 8) for the Moon Cat Method.

Examples

  • Moon Cat - Increases fruit size, stronger when sleeping
  • Petal Bee - Triggers Pollinated mutation (3x), used for honey
  • Golden Lab/Dog - Digs random seeds
  • Triceratops - Knocks crops to speed growth and boost mutations
  • Polar Bear - Increases Chilled or Frozen mutation chances

Progression

Daily Quests

Daily tasks rewarding seeds and Sheckles

Details

Daily quests, provided by NPC Eloise, refresh every 24 hours and reward Normal Seed Packs or other resources. Tasks include planting, harvesting, or triggering mutations.

Tips

Use fast-growing crops like Wheat to complete planting/harvesting tasks. Complete all 3 daily quests for bonus rewards.

Examples

  • Plant 50 Carrots
  • Harvest 100 Wheat
  • Trigger 3 mutations
  • Earn 10,000 Sheckles
  • Complete event-specific tasks (e.g., submit Pollinated crops)

Progression

Gear System

Tools that enhance planting, watering, and harvesting efficiency

Details

Gear is purchased from the Gear Shop, including watering cans, backpacks, and sprinklers. Upgraded gear improves efficiency and mutation chances.

Tips

Prioritize Silver Watering Can and Large Backpack early. Save for Master Sprinkler by Level 15 to unlock mutation potential.

Examples

  • Silver Watering Can - Waters multiple plants faster
  • Large Backpack - Increases seed and crop carrying capacity
  • Master Sprinkler - Boosts crop size and mutation chances
  • Trowel - Moves plants around the garden
  • Lightning Rod - Increases Shocked mutation chances
🌱
Resources

Seed Packs

Packs containing seeds of varying rarities

Details

Seed Packs, earned via quests, events, or Robux, contain seeds from common to mythical rarity. Exotic Seed Packs (Robux-only) include rare crops.

Tips

Save rare seeds for mutation farming. Check Sam’s Shop every 5 minutes for refreshed stock.

Examples

  • Normal Seed Pack - Common and uncommon seeds
  • Rare Seed Pack - Rare and epic seeds
  • Exotic Seed Pack - Legendary and mythical seeds
  • Zen Seed Pack - Zen Event exclusive seeds
  • Ancient Seed Pack - Includes Bone Blossom

Core Mechanics

Economy System

Currency and trading system centered around Sheckles

Details

Sheckles, earned by selling crops, are used to buy seeds, gear, and pet eggs. Robux can purchase rare items or speed up progress. Players can trade crops and pets.

Tips

Sell mutated crops for maximum profit. Save Sheckles for Master Sprinkler and pet eggs.

Examples

  • Sell crops at the Sell Stuff stand
  • Mutated crops: Shocked Cactus sells for ~700,000 Sheckles
  • Robux purchases: Super Seed or Exotic Seed Pack
  • Trading: Exchange rare crops or pets
  • Event rewards: Chi currency from Zen Event
🎉
Limited Time

Event System

Limited-time events with unique crops, pets, and mutations

Details

Events introduce new mechanics, crops, and rewards, such as Tranquil mutations in the Zen Event or Pollinated crops in Bee Swarm. Events often feature exclusive currencies and tasks.

Tips

Join events early to collect limited items. Stockpile event currencies for rare rewards.

Examples

  • Zen Event - Introduced Tranquil mutations and Chi currency
  • Blood Moon - Triggers Bloodlit mutation (4x)
  • Bee Swarm - Plant Coconut Trees for Pollinated crops
  • Summer Harvest - Use Tomatoes for quick points
  • Pet Mutations Event - Upgrade DNA Machine for new pets
🏡
Strategy

Garden Layout

Strategic crop and tool placement for maximum efficiency

Details

Efficient layouts improve mutation chances and productivity. Stack multi-harvest crops to save space, and spread high-value crops to avoid mutation loss to low-value crops.

Tips

Place high-value crops like Moon Melon near sprinklers and Moon Cats. Adjust layouts for event-specific needs.

Examples

  • Stack multi-harvest crops: Tomatoes, Strawberries
  • Spread high-value crops to avoid mutation loss
  • Place Moon Melon around Master Sprinkler
  • Use Trowel to reposition crops
  • Expand land: 250,000,000 Sheckles for 8 extra units per side

Core Mechanics

Crop Overgrowth

Random crop size increase that boosts mass and value

Details

Crops may randomly overgrow (up to 20x normal size), increasing their mass and sale value. Overgrown crops may sink into the ground, requiring the Harvest Tool to collect.

Tips

Use sprinklers and Moon Cats to increase overgrowth chances. Plant during Frost weather for higher probability.

Examples

  • Overgrowth: Up to 20x normal crop size
  • Harvest Tool: Collects sunken overgrown crops
  • Moon Cat: Boosts overgrowth chance when sleeping
  • Frost Weather: Increases overgrowth probability

Social Mechanics

Stealing and Trading

Interact with other players through stealing and trading

Details

Players can spend 37 Robux to steal crops, with a chance of failure (returns 100 Sheckles). Pets like Raccoon or Kitsune duplicate crops without removing the original. Trading allows exchanging crops and pets.

Tips

Use Favorite Tool to mark valuable crops to prevent accidental sales. Verify crop/pet mutation status before trading.

Examples

  • Stealing: 37 Robux to attempt, 100 Sheckles on failure
  • Raccoon/Kitsune: Duplicate crops without removing originals
  • Trading: Exchange rare crops or pets
  • Favorite Tool: Marks crops to prevent accidental sales
