Hey,

Does anyone have an idea how to manage getting the last fruit within 50 minutes?
I’ve tried several runs, but I’ve never even come close to finishing in 50 minutes.

i managed to get it by accident. make sure you have no upgrade choosen that slows you down at any point / doesnt work well together and choose upgrades via the "All Upgrades" tab sorted by price. this makes you invest your money in the cheapest upgrade really fast. also merge colonists once you reach 1100, not before. the huge guys do a really nice job. also invest your solar coins in things that boost your playstyle. you can also add me and we try together :)

hey i did it pretty easily by just spamming palm trees i think.

Even without noticing it i did it in like 60 minutes so just doing it with palm trees made sense.

Basically palmtrees, mega colonists, maybe the fertilizer upgrades to get the bonuses for having max fertilizer without using it, then get gardeners from lumberjacks, try to get mega colonists as soon as possible as they literally just eat the trees, and then a prism to spit out on it.

I think i got it in like 35 minutes or so.

I was able to get it with a monotree baobab build.

What unlocks do you guys run and what things do you spend your coins on? Setting up a guide would get you easy commends. I've tried a few times but haven't been successful yet.

Just finished getting it at 41 minutes into the run. Quite a bit of micromanaging, click saplings 3 times to maximize chop fruit yield to 100 fert input as well as keeping max clicks on the mono-tree while waiting on more saplings or upgrades.

Try to get your first mega gatherer quickly, but I started my upgrades a bit to early and had to wait 5-6 minutes to get the cash to go from T7 to T10.

Coin upgrades were:
Super Mouse
Sun Dance (I'd skip this for poopy or windmill)
Mono Tree (first buy)
Extra Yield
Lumber Throw
Prism (second buy)

Thanks for the guide, I will try and give it a shot tonight!

Thank you, I will have to try this as well. I haven't tried a mono tree build before though my upgrades are similar to yours. Coin order too, I think I was prioritizing multiplier items too much. My reasoning was engineers were slow until later, but that's probably wrong.

No problem, the built isn't optimized or anything, just what I tried to go for it. Engineers are slow, but they can build a prism after I get a mega, so it's a big bump in speed just from the +tier of them combined.

Thanks man, I think a lot of it is knowing which coin upgrades to go for first. I think the upgrades that I liked that seemed to be good just aren't good early on for getting the golden melon (bees).

Thanks to both of your build info I was able to easily get this in 30 minutes using a bit of a mix of both. I did baobab only with coins in this order: mono tree, windmill, prism, fertilizer stack, belly, lumberjack. No bees which is notable because previously I would use them early.

I was often selecting upgrades most of the time so I skipped all the mouse upgrades except being able to chop trees. Used roots caretaker.

Congrats, bees weren't a thing in my run because I was doing mono tree and never got the bee upgrade. If you're talking about in the ritual menu, I just didn't deselect the prism bee or bee running speed upgrades.

But you got it and that's all that matters.
