Changelog/2025/December 5
Hello everyone!
Today we are opening alpha with the Garden Greenhouse Update!
This update includes revamped Farming Tools, adds a powder-like currency called Sowdust to upgrade Chips, 3 new crops, new visitors, and a lot more.
Here is an overview of each to help guide you while testing. As always, if you do not meet any requirements or require some items speak to Centauri in the Hub.
We are aware that a lot of you have requested nerfs to Composter Upgrades, we will look into it. However, we would like everyone to get more familiar with this alpha first as it already provides a huge boost in Copper gains through mutations before making the final decision.
► New Plot: Greenhouse
[edit | edit source]
The Greenhouse is unlocked at Garden Level 7, and can be accessed after completing the Carpenter's Offer when he appears as a Visitor. After a short quest, you should be able to place a Greenhouse in place of a Garden Plot.
After a further introduction about the basics of the Greenhouse, you'll be able to view additional information through the Carpenter, which will stay in your Greenhouse if you need any more information.
To unlock being able to analyze Mutations, you'll have to complete Beth's Questline first, which also has a new part added.
► Revamped Farming Tools
[edit | edit source]
Most of the Farming Tools have been revamped, they have been standardized in terms of how much Fortune and upgrades they give and we also added a new levelling system that improves tools while farming. Using these tools now will also drop Sowdust, which is used to upgrade Chips.
All of these should be retroactive, your tools should automatically be converted to the new version with an appropriate level depending on your counters or your cultivating enchantment. Sowdust will also be given back based on your previous Crop Milestones at a 50% rate.
► New Chip System
[edit | edit source]
Jeff is a new NPC in the Garden that will introduce you to Specialized Farming Tools and Chips.
Chips can be unlocked from many different sources in the game and upgraded with Sowdust. You can further upgrade Chips by consuming duplicates to increase their rarity and therefore their max level and scaling.
► New Crops
[edit | edit source]
We added 3 new crops, Sunflower, Moonflower and Wild Rose. Each have their respective Collection, Farming Tools, Enchants, Crop Upgrades and Milestones.
You can first unlock them by spreading them in the Greenhouse, then farm them like any other crop.
► New Visitors
[edit | edit source]
We have added 40+ new Visitors, among them is a shady businessman that will sell you a special dragon pet! We also added Mayors, which will only visit you while they are elected and provide you with a unique accessory.
► Crop & Visitor Milestone Nerfs
[edit | edit source]
As promised, we have adjusted Milestones for Crops and Visitors by a major amount:
To also account for the previous Crop milestone nerfs, we also want to adjust Visitor milestones accordingly:
