Reddit, June 18, 2025
๐ Key Highlights
- Use Bamboo and Mushrooms for easy early-game profits; avoid single-yield crops like Pumpkins and Melons.
- The "Sprinkler Method" is essential for late-game: use all types of sprinklers, leave the game for 1-2 hours, and return for massive mutated fruits.
- Stacking mutations (Celestial, Shocked, etc.) by AFKing or using autoclickers can dramatically increase fruit value.
- Pets and daily quests provide valuable bonuses and rare seedsโdogs can even dig up any shop seed.
- Trading, private servers, and strategic garden layout are key to progressing through mid and late game.
