THE LOOP
Five actions, in order
- 1Take an affordable river seed
Oak is free. Pine is the first paid Common seed at $25 in the checked table.
- 2Plant it on your plot
The plot is where the seed becomes a crop you can harvest.
- 3Let it grow
Do not spend the whole run browsing menus while the weather changes.
- 4Harvest before lightning
Once the crop is ready, delay adds risk without improving the base loop.
- 5Reinvest one step at a time
Move to the next seed your cash actually supports.
LIGHTNING RULE
Lightning can destroy the crop before harvest. Treat a ready crop as a decision now, not something to leave on the plot while you search for a perfect route.
FIRST CASH
Use price bands, not hype
A practical opening is Free Oak → $25 Pine → the $200–$500 Rare band → the $10K–$20K Epic band. If your cash cannot reach the next band, repeat the current loop instead of waiting for a Legendary spawn you cannot buy.
Learn the timing
Oak, Pine, Apple, Peach and Fig keep the first decisions cheap.
Build repeatable cash
Orange, Lemon and Avocado form the Epic price band.
Check before you commit
Legendary and higher seeds jump sharply in cost and spawn rarity.

BEFORE REBIRTH
Use valuable inventory first
Rebirth removes current cash and seed inventory while previous unlock progression stays. Plant or use valuable seeds before you confirm the reset.

Continue by the problem you have
Your repeatable loop is river seed → plant → grow → harvest before lightning → reinvest.
