The Gardener?
I'm at breakdown level 5 and I've got the normal garden (which I've had for 2-3 in game days) but I'm not getting closer to unlocking the gardener. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?

It can be buggy sometimes. You need to build greenhouse to fasten the process. There is also cheap method: change your PC time. Like for a day or 2 and maybe it will pop up. Note though 2 days will pass in game too and who knows what can happen there

you only get 2 food per regular garden per tick & the acievment needs 10 food collected.

upgrade it it to a greenhouse like Tristan suggested in his post for 50 materials to make it collect more food per tick.

otherwise just be patient, you'll get it eventually.

Note : there used to be a bug , ages ago, that broke farms so they gave no food per tick, i have no idea if that is back again. (i havnt made it to BD lvl 5 yet in this playthrough). Hopefully thats NOT the case ehre.

good luck have fun

I stopped playing for a few hours and when I came back it has progressed to 6/10 so it's all good.

Thanks for the help

Mine never ticks over while I'm playing, but if I shut the game down and come back in it updates.

You need someone with the gardening (horticulture) skill to harvest the food.

yeah i got a gardener

Can somebody confirm that a greenhouse works as well as the garden.
I read somewhere that since it says you need to grow the food in the garden, the greenhouse wont count. Also for me it didnt not work for hours as well so I just went for changing the time.
In my opinion there is no extra fun in waiting just to see gras grow.

I am not one for achievements, they complete or they don't I try not to care about arbitrary awards, but do I have one ? locked achievement and no "The Gardener" so I'm guessing that's what it is...

I mean who freakin' plays a Breakdown level for FIVE IN-GAME DAYS?! The whole point is to get while the gettin' is good before your best heroes gets chomped on by a swarm the size of a horde of Ferals and Juggers.

I guess the key is to log out mid-level, not at the start of new levels, then real time will have passed.

Now I got to do the stupid thing, and THIS is why I freakin' hate achievements!
