Nighttime Strategy

On Public Servers

  • Stay inside your garden during the night cycle to lock it

On Private Servers

  • Nighttime is risk-free — farm normally
  • Use night cycles to tend crops without interruption

Which Server Should You Choose?

Beginners → Private Server

Start on private to learn the game mechanics without theft risk. Once confident in your defense setup, try public servers.

Casual Farmers → Private Server

If you play sporadically and can't always be online at night, private servers are the safer choice.

Competitive Players → Public Server

Friend boosts and guild events make public servers more profitable for active, experienced players with strong defenses.

Hybrid Strategy

Many top players maintain both:

  • Private server for high-value mutation farming
  • Public server for guild events and friend-boosted selling
