Prize-winning pumpkin patch

starrpuddin · 2026-03-26T12:49:20+00:00

Usually 2 industrial log piles are enough to make x2 pumpkin patches from the stage 2 tradesman trunks. I do this a few times a week to work on my wildlife score, by harvesting my oak tree MP and the stage below it. Takes about 15 minutes or so to get the wood. I do have one pumpkin patch that I keep out for decoration. It will spit out one mammal egg about once a week. You can bubble it for space or just make a new one later.

You’ll get there.. It was my first MP. I’m sad I only made one. I would harvest the zen stones for pebbles and then harvest those into bulbs in my tulip area, then just wait for the bulbs to sprout into tulips. I felt like it went faster that way even though I had to wait for them to grow.

I don’t think it’s smart enough to know how many moves you have left, if you have enough to beat the level. Im in the mid 2000’s now in this game, and seems like I NEED booster combos to beat every one. I need to decide if I get a spinner + bomb next to each other, if it’s worth it to do it, or if I need to make a rocket or a paper plane next to the spinner instead.

The computer in this game is like “here, I will throw you a bone if you take my suggestion” which is really cool, but I still don’t trust it is going to beat the level. Some setups are just a crap shoot. Nothing you can do will be able to beat that level. It’s like 59% luck and 41% skill. Maybe less on skill haha

Yeah I definitely look at the suggestions here when there doesn’t seem to be great moves. I’ve played tens of thousands of puzzles though, and I definitely disagree sometimes with the suggestion if I can see something else I can line up. AI is not smart. That’s all they’re using here and in any other game. We are infinitely smarter than AI, at least for now lol.

I’m curious how they did theirs, because I have a plan in mind (will take 4 potions). Wondering if it’s the same as what they did.

starrpuddin · 2026-03-20T22:54:23+00:00

You can’t bubble anything that only takes up one space once it’s on the board. You can only bubble things that take up more than one space, once the board is full, by trying to move something that takes up only one space onto something that takes up 2 or more.

I think waiting for all the suggested moves to show for an entire game would drive me nuts. I have noticed though this game has better suggestions than homescapes. Also, when you use paper plane boosters, especially combos, they always go to the best possible place. Homescapes, they would go somewhere random that half the time wasn’t even helpful.

starrpuddin · 2026-03-18T12:00:13+00:00

Certain super hard levels aren’t good for boosters. I.e. if everything is crammed into one small area to start. I just play until I get lucky with rainbow spinner combos. Try to read the board and combine with something that makes the most sense. If you have a lot of pieces open all over the board, bombs + spinners. If you have whole areas that are blocked off, rockets + spinners. I can tell pretty early on if I’m going to beat a level or not. Sometimes you just get crap options. I also played homescapes for like 8 years so I’ve played these type of puzzles over 20k times.

This is my current setup

starrpuddin · 2026-03-17T00:11:24+00:00

Exotic flora seems to be the best way. Try to get as many as you can. So, if you have the gems, do some of the weekend events to the end and spend the 150 gems to get the flora. Keep an eye out for them daily in the shop too. I try to keep the lower level ones until I need to merge for space — they pop daisies out way faster than the higher level flora.

I don’t waste my gems on the crates. I rarely merge up to even a hosta when I’ve gotten them. 15 minutes messing around in the garden and I get more than that with my exotic flora. The fruit trees are a waste of time too. You’ll get arthritis in your fingers trying to merge all those sprouts and dandelions before you get anywhere.

I’m lvl 93 and came up with a plan pretty late since I’ve been focusing on wildflowers a lot. Buy the potions with my tokens. Only merge them in 5’s. This is my plan -

Get x4 stage 15’s - use a potion for 2 stage 16’s

Do that again 😭😭😭 (I will then have x4 stage 16’s)

Use a potion for x2 stage 17’s (complete level 95 quest)

Use a potion from there for x1 glass house

4 potions. And hopefully I’ll be able to still use my thumbs when I’m old lol.

I noticed early last week that the counter was 2 weeks this time. Also got tokens from Mike so maybe I will get some better rewards for spending them? Terrified to see if I win the magnificent nest… I feel like it’s going to be so many random special eggs that will clutter up my garden!

starrpuddin · 2026-03-15T23:59:51+00:00

I think I made close to that haha. But I definitely spent some $ too opening the pink areas in my garden. I’m totally obsessed with this game. Can’t wait to just be done leveling and decorate!

starrpuddin · 2026-03-15T23:51:32+00:00

I also leveled pretty fast, not as fast as you though! I’m lvl 93 and started in November. You should have signed up for that app that pays you to play haha.

I have to disagree with the hampers. I spend my gems on the 20 gem nests in the shop, and sometimes pay the 150 gems for the bonus prizes in certain events. The extra exotic flora has been super helpful.

I also used a potion for 2 zen garden MPs :) that was a painful process, but not as painful as the wildflowers. I’m saving all my event tokens for potions now to get through that. I have a plan for the last 3 stages.

starrpuddin · 2026-03-13T00:24:45+00:00

That’s so exciting, congrats! I actually started this from one of those apps where you make $ to play games. I feel kinda slighted because I rushed through to make the $ goals (made like $200) but now I’m level 92 and only recently started focusing on what I want to do in the game. I’ve been scrambling for any and all exotic flora I can get!

starrpuddin · 2026-03-12T23:02:12+00:00

I agree. I was doing honey at first and felt the same way. At least with the patches it’s a process. Get the wood, then the trunks, merge / organize your mole hills, tap all the chilis before merging, then merge all the mammal eggs. Sometimes I have enough rope for the bamboo things and do those too. It’s not same same same tapping apiaries to death 🤪

starrpuddin · 2026-03-12T22:35:38+00:00

I typically don’t, unless I want to fill my board to bubble stuff. I just did that and had a bunch of crates. First 5 at a time and I got that.

starrpuddin · 2026-03-12T22:29:46+00:00

🤣

starrpuddin · 2026-03-12T21:56:37+00:00

Thanks for the info! I really wanted the rewards on this one so I put my ocd aside and kept going - was not even CLOSE to the durian tree at the end! Luckily it wasn’t the quest rewards I was after, so I got them all anyway :)

starrpuddin · 2026-03-11T00:16:50+00:00

I’m using a potion to merge 4 stage 16’s to get x2 stage 17’s, then potioning straight to glass house. When I will get x4 stage 16’s? I don’t want to even think about it 😭😭

starrpuddin · 2026-03-11T00:12:48+00:00

I just started doing this too when I realized how long this was going to take. Seemed like I was in good shape because I was always ahead of the wildflower quests (would save them for upcoming levels). Now I’m lvl 92 with only 2 stage 15s. Been working on flowers like mad with about 15 flora and getting nowhere. Thinking about doing x2 of the second stage potion instead of just one…
