TIL about energy refresh mechanics

This is one for everyone like me who hyper-optimizes every minute of this game. This discovery comes in two parts:

  1. If you over-exert yourself during a day, you will not regain all your energy when you sleep that night--only half. Your energy gain is also decreased if you stay up past midnight, getting worse the longer you stay up.

  2. HOWEVER! If you leveled up in any skill during the day, then your energy will be fully refreshed that night anyway, no matter how late you stayed up and even if you were over-exerted. This is the part I didn't know, and I have been using it to my advantage since I learned it.

(Mobile) 3 Seed guarantee method (info in description)

  1. Have 10 Seed makers and place them so you can access all 10 seed makers within 7 seconds

  2. Save the game (ex: 3:00) and 10 min (3:10) after the save place fruits in all the seed makers (SM)

  3. 20 min later when the seeds are produced keep track of the SMs (ex: SM 1,4,7,8) which produced the 3 seeds and exit the game

  4. Return to the game (3:10) place fruits only in the SMs which produced 3 seeds (1,4,7,8) and immediately save a backup (New save is set to 3:20) and wait 10 min (3:20), place fruits in the remaining SMs and wait 20 min by then 1st set of seed (1,4,7,8) will be ready and 10 min after 1st set is ready the 2nd set will be ready keep track of 2nd set's 3 seeds (ex: 2,5) exit game and return save (3:20) and place only in SM with the 3 seeds (2,5) and rinse and rinse and repeat

Why do this?

  1. Need large sum of seeds with the shortest amount of fruits used

  2. Getting ready for Spring ancient fruit plantation

  3. You have a lot of irl time in hands and it saves a lot of in game time (in a span of 6 in game  hours you can potentially get 300 seeds)

Pros:

  1. Lots of seeds acquired with the shortest amount of fruits used 

  2. Less in game time spent to acquire them

 

Cons: 

  1. Lot of irl time spent 

  2. Works only on mobile (from what I heard the save backup feature is not on pc or console)

 

Please go ahead and ask me incase if you have any doubts if my explanation earlier was poor.

Pierre's Booth during the Egg Festival

You may know that if you walk around the building, you can talk to Pierre behind his booth. You may know that eggs are hidden behind it for during the Egg Hunt.

But TIL you can still shop at the booth when he is away during the Egg Hunt! You can buy strawberry seeds without having to talk to Pierre.
