Hello Farmers!

We're excited to bring you a fresh update packed with new features that will take your farming experience to the next level. Explore brand-new tiles with innovative mechanics that will supercharge your farm and offer you exciting new ways to play. Alongside these additions, we're introducing fresh challenges and an all-new cosmetic system that will let you customize ocean color like never before.

Introducing New Global Bonus Tiles

These game-changers will enhance other tiles across your farm. You're no longer confined to placing them adjacent to other tiles to enjoy their benefits. This newfound freedom will breathe new life into your lower-tier tiles, making them more relevant than ever as the game progresses. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44200216/7fbdc134094012cdbd966641859d3e30abd63c5d.png

🥔Potato Chips Factory

: Ever wondered what to do with surplus potatoes? Say hello to the Potato Chips Factory, your solution to turning excess potatoes into gold! For every 10 potatoes harvested, this tile will churn out delicious potato chips. What was once merely animal feed will now become a profitable venture, especially during mini-collecting quests. The more chips the factory produces, the higher their value climbs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44200216/e2427b23fe94666ba6eee10eeb37ddfa26d4bebe.png

🗼Lighthouse

: A beacon of maritime marvel, the Lighthouse adds a strategic twist to your fishing routine. Once a day, it beckons all fishing boats to haul in squid or the elusive giant octopus. The odds of reeling in the legendary giant octopus receive a boost from your luck stat. Gone are the days of routine fishing – with the Lighthouse, your fishing fleet becomes a force to be reckoned with. Optimize their potential and discover their hidden depths. Unlike the Weather Station or Tractor, global bonus tile grows stronger with each additional tile you lay down.

New Coconut Palm with Unique Stacking Mechanics

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44200216/0fe815b5ea5c99c136ad9f62afdb3726341cf2bc.png In a departure from conventional wisdom, the Coconut Palm offers a different path to farm optimization. It generates stackable coconuts at an exponential rate, all without the need for watering. Watch in awe as these coconuts double in value every passing day when left on the Coconut Palm. Embrace this unique strategy by constructing Coconut Palms using just 1 wood (equivalent to 1 mushroom log).

Introducing Landlord’s Cactus and a Fresh Ocean Cosmetic System

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44200216/387c90c5d77384716aaff55a0dcedfcd48730755.png The benevolent landlord, appreciating your dedication despite his exorbitant rent, bestows upon you a special gift – the Landlord’s Cactus. Unlock the Weather Station, and this cactus will make surprise appearances early in the game. Delicate and sensitive, it must be shielded from the perils of cutting, watering, and animal nibbling. Should you safeguard it till the end, a splendid ocean-colored cosmetic reward awaits – a tribute to the resilient cactus's hue. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44200216/001cef7a18a21ccc2d6c304ac06c7b98fb72c3b2.png It's worth noting that the cactus challenge is entirely optional; if you choose, you can chop it, gaining 1 wood instead. Keep in mind that certain cactus colors exclusively emerge at higher difficulty levels, adding an extra layer of challenge.

🎰 Slot Machine Thrills 🎰

Bad news! The landlord has spotted that you are getting rich from his casino. He has tweaked the Slot Machine – removing the guaranteed minimum reward! Your luck stat now only enhances your maximum prize. Brace yourself; it's all about your true luck now! We hope you relish every moment of this update. Your feedback is invaluable to us, so don't hesitate to join the community and share your thoughts. Thank you for being a part of our farming journey! :D

My gift is on the way as a token of my appreciation. It will arrive in the next game update. Please stay tuned! Oh, I noticed you getting too rich from my casino; I will raise the slot machine tax soon. Wishing you hilariously good luck. - Your landlord -

Your luck will determine the outcome! Sometime RNG God just not on your side, we've introduced optional new tiles for boosting your luck to make it more manageable: 🍀 Clover: A luck-based plant that grants a bonus when fully grown. Keep it unharvested to maintain the luck boost. The selling price of Clover is also influenced by your luck! ⛩️ Shrine: Pay your respects to the rabbit god at the shrine and convert your remaining stamina into a temporary luck bonus. This bonus lasts for a day and can be stacked with other shrines. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44200216/525a1ebfcfc26500e4003ce607327283d424491b.png Other changes in this update include: ✨ Auto Drink Option: Automatically use a random well when your stamina is depleted.
