💡 Pro Strategy Tips
- ▸Main plot: Always plant Golden Wheat. It's the best crop in the game and the foundation of any profitable farm.
- ▸Secondary plots: Rotate seasonal crops (Magma Pepper → Neon Pumpkin → Frost Melon → Lucky Carrot) for the +20% seasonal bonus.
- ▸AFK farming: Use Crystal Berry or Neon Pumpkin on your main plot. Longer growth cycles mean less management.
- ▸Active farming: Lucky Carrot and Magma Pepper reward frequent harvesting with high throughput.
- ▸Never plant Wild Grass or Basic Potato past the tutorial. Their 200 CPM is misleading — the 15-30 second cycles require impossibly constant attention.
- ▸Profit stacking: S-Tier mutation (4.0×) × S-Tier pet (5.0×) = 20.0× total multiplier. Even C-Tier crops become profitable with this stack.
