01
The basic loop from day one
Step
In short
Everything in the game comes back to this four-step cycle, so understanding it early saves a lot of confusion.
When you first load in, you receive some starting money. Spend it on plants right away, then step back and let them grow on their own. Once enough has accumulated, check your crate and sell when it is full. That money goes straight back into more plants or tower upgrades, and the cycle starts again.
- Buy plants spend your starting money on the first plants available to you.
- Wait plants grow on their own, so there is nothing to do while they fill the crate.
- Check the crate come back periodically to see how much has accumulated.
- Sell cash out the crate and take your earnings.
- Reinvest put the money into more plants or a tower upgrade before the next wait.

Getting more out of every sale
TipsIn short
Letting the crate fill completely before you sell is the single biggest thing you can do to earn faster.
The crate holds a fixed amount of harvested plants, and you get paid based on what is inside when you sell. Running several plants at the same time helps fill that crate faster, which means more frequent full sales.
Tips worth knowing
- Always wait until the crate is maxed out before you sell — a full crate pays more in one go than two half-empty sells.
- Grow more than one plant at once so the crate fills up sooner.

04
Upgrading your tower
Check
In short
Each upgrade to your tower directly increases how many plants you can run at once.
Tower upgrades come in two forms: new floors and expanded building space. Both are bought with the cash you earn from selling harvests. More floors and more space mean more plants growing simultaneously, which speeds up how fast your crate fills.
- Add a new floor to increase the total number of plant slots available.
- Expand building space to fit more plants on the floors you already have.
05
Rare plants versus starter plants
Table
In short
Rare plants cost more to buy but pay out more at harvest.
Plants in the game come in different rarity tiers. The rarer the plant, the higher its purchase price and the higher its harvest value. In the early game, cheaper plants let you start earning without a big upfront cost. Once your cash flow is comfortable, mixing in rarer plants raises the value of each crate sale.
| Starter plants | low purchase price, lower harvest value. |
| Rare plants | high purchase price, higher harvest value. |
| Mixed approach | a mix of both keeps cash coming in while gradually raising the value of each sale. |
06
Auto-save and cross-platform play
Summary
In short
You never need to worry about losing progress — the game saves automatically and works across every platform.
The game saves your progress on its own as you play, so closing it mid-session will not wipe your plants, tower level, or cash. You can switch between PC, mobile, and console and pick up exactly where you left off on any of them.
- Save method fully automatic, no save button needed.
- Platforms PC, mobile, and console all supported.
- Cross-platform continuity the same save carries across all devices.
- Session flexibility quitting at any point is safe.

Common questions
FAQDoes my progress disappear if I close the game?
No — the game saves automatically while you play. When you come back, your plants, tower, and cash are all exactly as you left them.
What should I do if I run out of money?
Wait for your plants to fill the crate, then sell. If the crate is already full and you have not sold yet, do that first since a full crate gives you the most cash at once.
