The Garden is a terminal command that gives you buffs and debuffs based on the plant that you grow.


When you plant a garden plant, it starts out as a seedling that matures after 48 hours, and when the seedling is watered the mature time will be reduced by 8 hours. When the seedling matures it grows into a plant that gives buffs or debuffs that will decay in 24 hours. Each rescue gives you a way to water plants which increases the decay timer by 8 hours. The water limit is 32 hours without any water-related buffs and you can plant a seedling every 48 hours.

               

The command is corrupted / broken at first and unlocked by getting admin and doing $ sudo repaircommand garden while you have 6 Batteries, 2 Fixed clocks, 2 Wands and 1 Coffee.


Additionally, Garden skips confirmations when the ! character (exclamation mark) is put at the end of the command. (e.g. $ garden plant!)

Plant Effects Additional Notes
Decayed Plant No longer provides any effect. Any effect that requires it to be uprooted won’t be applied upon uprooting.
Seedling Matures after 48 hours. Once the plant matures it turns into a random plant except for Decayed Plant or Seedling.

If a Mushroom effect is applied the Seedling will always turn into a Mushroom.

Bamboo Lists display two extra elements per page. This equals to 14 elements per page.
Beans Pulling a card reduces your rescue cooldown by 45 minutes. Does not reduce rescue cooldown if you do not have a rescue cooldown.
Bell Pepper Rescue notifications have a 50% chance not to be consumed.
Cactus ON UPROOT: Takes the amount of time this plant WASN'T watered (since 24 hours), and splits that much water across all your other plants. Upon watering this plant the timer resets to zero but it still continues until the timer reaches 24 hours.
Cantaloupe All plants can hold an extra 4 hours of water. This increases the cap to 36 hours.
Carrot Quest rewards roll for animals/items twice and pick the higher number.
Cherry Fusing animals also reduces your rescue cooldown. Reduces your rescue cooldown by 30 minutes if you fuse 2 common animals, 1 hour if you fuse a common with a rare animal and 1 hour 30 minutes if you fuse 2 rare animals.

Does not reduce rescue cooldown if you do not have a rescue cooldown.

Cherry Blossom ON UPROOT: Turns into a permanent cosmetic if this plant was kept alive for at least 7 days. If the plant decays after 7 days, you won’t get the cosmetic.
Clover Rescues roll twice and picks the animal you have less of.
Coral ON UPROOT: Adds 24 hours of water to a random plant, prioritizing seedlings.
Daisy ON UPROOT: Rerolls your matured plant with the least water into a different one.
Garlic Pairs will never be rescued naturally, and animals will never hold items. Can only be uprooted while you are cursed. When a garlic is decayed the uproot requirement is ignored.
Grapes Increases the cap for leader cooldown reductions by 15 minutes. This increases the cap to 2 hours and 15 minutes for rescue cooldown reduction, 4 hours and 15 minutes for quest duration reduction.
Lucky Clover Auto-rescues have increased luck. Gains 2 luck when the conditions are met.[1]
Mango Relic, leader, and profile cooldowns are 20% shorter. Relic cooldown & Leader cooldown is 9.6 hours, Profile cooldown is 4 minutes.
Mushroom Newly planted seedlings will always grow into mushrooms. Decays ALL plants upon uprooting. When a Mushroom is decayed the uproot effect isn't applied.

Seedlings planted before Mushrooms will not be guaranteed to turn into Mushroom, while Seedlings planted after Mushroom will be guaranteed, even if the Mushroom is decayed afterwards.

Onion ON UPROOT: Takes the time until this plant decays, and REMOVES that much water from a random plant. When an onion is decayed the uproot punishment is ignored.

Water "removed" from a seedling increases its time till growth

Potato Releasing an animal has a chance to consume this plant instead. Chance increases the closer it is to decaying. The chance for Potato to trigger is this for releasing a common animal, where x is the amount of time until Potato decays. If a rare animal is released, change the 85 to 70. If multiple animals are released at once, Potato will not trigger.

When consumed, increases the Potato stat.

Rock Cancels the passive effects of all other plants, and can only be uprooted when your rescue cooldown is greater than 6 hours. When a rock is decayed the uproot requirement is ignored.
Rose Increases the chance for animals to hold better items. Better items means items with a higher Item Quality.
Strawberry Auto-rescues add 6 hours of water, split across all your plants.
Sunflower ON UPROOT: Reduces your rescue cooldown by 15 minutes for each hour NOT watered. (since 24 hours) Upon watering this plant the timer resets to zero but it still continues until the timer reaches 24 hours.
Watermelon Watering is 50% more effective after rescuing a pair of animals. This equals to 12 hours of water when you rescue a pair.
