Imagine plants as tall as a house. Sound groovy? This update is for you. New Features -Overgrown! Given the proper care and enough room, plants may become Overgrown. This growing technique encourages your crop to become very large, requiring significantly more water and nutrients before harvest, but yielding many times more bud. To maximize your chance of achieving wild growth, plant four identical strains in a 2x2 pattern, leaving a buffer of at least one empty tile away from any other plants. As below. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F29599727%2Fa03170672c251503d8c0333556a7578080210b62.png Keep your plants healthy, stress free, and with a little luck th…

Oh boy, do we have a patch for you! While work continues on the Stores & Street Dealers content update, we got some other improvements ready for prime-time. Read on for details... New Features - Crew AI has been upgraded to use sprinklers. Your quirky crew finally got the hang of juggling sprinklers on and off.

Crew will operate one sprinkler at a time, but will later be upgraded to operate more. - Spectator Mode/Farm View: Ready to let your farm run itself? Use the new button in the upper righthand corner to go into Spectator Mode. Doing so puts ALL crew under AI control and detaches your camera for tycoon style gameplay – freeing you to manage contracts, research, wholesale, and think about your farm as a whole. - Reputation: Do you treat your clients and vendors wel…
