The farm mini-game is kinda hard to understand

[Celestorius [FR]]

Hello there,

please anyone can help me by providing me a detailled guide or at least a clear explanation about how does the farm/seeds game works ? I actually plant seeds for some billions right now (price is going higher cause i assume it's scale on our earnings/second) and the passive is making really few earning more per second. I can harvest them when they're fully growned but i see no differences when i do it, it feels like i did it for nothing and the time it produce more earning just get me back the price to buy and plant it....so i'm kinda confuse about what makes sense by doing it.

I seen there is some mutations possible and i guess that it could be good later but for now i have the feeling to waste money and my time by doing things with the first seed.

So i think i'm missing something and i gladly appreciate some clarifications about the seed system.

Thanks.

Yes, the price of planting seeds scales with your CPS, so it's best to try gardening once you've basically reached the point where you have bought all the buildings and upgrades you can afford and you're waiting for your wrinklers to get fat.

Anyway, after planting 2 seeds, you need to let them mature and then there's a chance they'll mutate and spawn another kind of seed. Then you keep repeating with every seed and seed combos until you have every type unlocked. I suggest using the Horticookie mod from the workshop, as it helps by telling you the seeds you can unlock from your available seeds and the chance of mutations.

Early seeds aren't great, but later ones can be quite useful (some produce sugar lumps, others increase grandmas CPS and the effects of wrath cookies, some other increase the frequency of golden cookies. Lots of effects). Also, some plants drop permanent cookie upgrades when harvested.
