Core Game Systems

Understanding the fundamental mechanics

Game Mechanics are the underlying systems that power your farming experience in Grow a Garden. From plant growth and overgrowth systems to advanced features like favoriting, stealing, and plot expansions, these mechanics work together to create a rich and engaging gameplay experience. Master these systems to optimize your farming strategy and maximize your garden's potential.

Lucky Plant

Certain Pets - currently only the Moon Cat, Deer,Spotted Deer and Petal Bee - have the ability where there is a chance that a fruit, of a specific type, are automatically replanted when harvested. This allows the plant to be harvested multiple times within a single growth cycle.

Favoriting

Players can mark fruits in their inventory as 'favourited' - indicated by a small heart icon in the bottom-right corner of the item - to prevent them from being accidentally sold at the Selling Stand.

How to Favorite:

  • PC: Right-click the item
  • Mobile: Double-tap the item
  • PlayStation: Press L2
  • Xbox: Press LT

Favorite Tool Features:

  • • Heart icon appears on the plant
  • • Cannot interact with the crop
  • • Entire plant becomes unremovable
  • • Mutations cannot be viewed when hovering
  • • Status persists through game reloads
  • Note: Does not prevent stealing

Overgrowth

Plants and their fruits may experience overgrowth, affecting their yield, value and efficiency differently:

Plant Overgrowth

  • • Occurs randomly during the growth stage
  • • Overgrowth chance can be increased by Sprinklers
  • • Extends growth time
  • • Price of single-harvest plants can greatly increase
  • • Most multi-harvest plants maintain fixed yield
  • • Exception: Tomato Plants scale production with size

Fruit Overgrowth

  • • Occurs randomly during the growth stage
  • • Price can greatly increase based on mass
  • • Large fruits may sink into the ground
  • • May require Harvest Tool to collect

Price Formula

The price of a fruit is decided by the formula:

Total Price = (Mass / Base Mass)² × Base Price × Growth Mutation × (1 + ΣMutations - Number of Mutations)

Formula Components:

  • Mass: The mass, in kilograms, of the fruit
  • Base Mass: A constant unique to every crop
  • Base Price: The lowest possible price for that crop
  • ΣMutations: Sum of all environmental mutation bonuses
  • Number of Mutations: Number of unique environmental mutations

Growth Mutations:

None: ×1 multiplier
Gold: ×20 multiplier
Rainbow: ×50 multiplier

Restrictions

  • Only one of either Golden or Rainbow can be applied.
  • Only one of either Chilled, Wet or Frozen can be applied.

Lucky Harvest

Seed Rewards

When harvesting plants, there is a small chance to receive a seed of the same plant type as an additional reward. This chance can be increased by using a Snail or other pets that give the same benefits as a Snail.

Fruit Duplication

When harvesting plants, there is a small chance to receive a duplicate of the fruit only available through the Ant or the Giant Ant.

Stealing

Players can steal crops from other players' gardens for 37 Robux. But if the player has a Raccoon, it can steal crops for the player!

Raccoon Stealing

If the raccoon steals the crop, the other person won't lose the crop. Instead, the raccoon will duplicate the fruit and give it to the player while the other player still has the fruit.

Red Fox Ability

Red Fox can only duplicate the seed, not the plants. Although rare, it doesn't guarantee a steal.

Gifting

Players can send harvested crops or pets to others using the following controls:

PC

Hold the 'E' key

Mobile
