Grow a Garden Pet Effects
Certain pets alter the garden economy. Learn about Deer variants, berry replant mechanics, and other pet synergies that can dramatically boost your farming efficiency.
Berry plants are unique in that they can "replant" or "stay" after harvest when you have certain pets equipped. This means instead of the plant disappearing after you collect its produce, it remains in your garden and can be harvested again.
How It Works
- • Plant berry seeds normally
- • Harvest when mature
- • With Deer pets, there's a chance the plant stays
- • If it stays, you can harvest again without replanting
- • This compounds over many harvests
Economic Impact
- • Seed savings: Don't need to buy new seeds
- • Time efficiency: Less replanting work
- • Space optimization: Plants stay in place
- • Compound growth: Effects multiply over time
The Deer family provides the most important pet effects for berry farming. Higher rarity means better success rates.
