It’s no secret that Garden Horizons takes inspiration from Grow a Garden. But just how comparable are they really? Most players hated the stealing tactic implemented in GaG, so in this article, I’ll answer a burning question: can you steal crops in Garden Horizons? Additionally, I’ll share tips on how to protect your produce and provide other helpful tricks as we gear up for the much-anticipated release of this next installment of gardening simulators on Roblox.
Let’s dig into it!
Can You Steal Crops in Garden Horizons?
In short, no, you cannot steal crops in Garden Horizons. And may I be the first to say, thank god.
This feature was a hallmark of Grow a Garden, where players could pay a small fee in Robux to pluck fruits from their neighbors’ gardens. While this added a layer of competition, it also caused frustration among many players who felt it detracted from the cooperative, community-building elements of the game.
Fortunately, Garden Horizons has opted to forgo this mechanic altogether. This decision likely stems from player feedback and a desire to distinguish itself from its predecessor. In this game, your crops are safe from the prying hands of other players, allowing for a more relaxed gardening experience. Visitors to your garden can admire your hard work without the fear of theft hanging over them.
This shift towards a more community-oriented gameplay style is refreshing. Unlike Grow a Garden, which became increasingly overwhelming with its grindy mechanics, Garden Horizons seems intent on nurturing a chill environment where players can cultivate their gardens without constant worry. I, for one, believe this is a step in the right direction, making the game feel more cozy and inviting.
How To Protect Your Plants
While nobody can swipe your crops, that doesn’t mean accidents can’t happen. There’s always the risk of inadvertently harvesting crops before you’re ready, which could jeopardize your plans for stacking valuable mutations.
If you want to avoid such unfortunate mishaps, head over to the Gear shop located at the center of the map and chat with Molly. She updates her inventory every few minutes and might have just what you need—a Favourite Tool! This handy gadget costs 80k Shillings and allows you to lock onto a crop to prevent harvesting until you decide you’re ready. You’ll need to undo the lock to harvest, ensuring that your carefully cultivated plants aren’t prematurely ruined.
