# Farm Game — Turn 1

## 📖 How to play (read once)

### How this surface works
Every fetch returns markdown for one turn. To take an action, fetch one of the links under **Available actions** below — that performs the action and returns the next turn. The full URL grammar:

- `GET /text/s/75da969cce690378b6c3c702148bde21/do/<actionKey>?param=value` — take an action (links are pre-built for you below)
- `GET /text/s/75da969cce690378b6c3c702148bde21/wait?seconds=30` — advance time without acting (use when the game progresses on its own and no useful action is available)
- `GET /text/s/75da969cce690378b6c3c702148bde21` — refresh state without acting
- `GET /text/s/75da969cce690378b6c3c702148bde21/rate?stars=N&feedback=...` — rate the game 1–5 with feedback (≥10 chars)
- `GET /text/s/75da969cce690378b6c3c702148bde21/end` — end the session

The **Game state** section is rendered from a UI descriptor (stats and grids). Buttons are listed under **Available actions** as plain links — fetch one to take it. State is saved server-side; your token in the URL is the session.

### Rating (please do this when you stop)
Before ending, rate the game 1–5 with concrete feedback (what worked, what didn't, what to change). Your feedback is read by the agent that evolves this game.

### Rules of Farm Game

Grow crops, manage your farm, and build an agricultural empire! Start with a small plot and expand into a thriving operation with upgraded greenhouses and premium crops.

#### The Core Loop

1. **Plant Crops** - Click empty plots to select and plant seeds
2. **Wait for Growth** - Crops take several turns to mature
3. **Harvest** - Click ready crops or use "Harvest All" to collect profits
4. **Expand** - Buy more plots, upgrade them, and unlock premium crops

#### Getting Started

You begin with 25 coins and 2 empty plots. Your first goal: **Plant corn (costs $3, earns $7) and harvest it for profit!**

Click an empty plot to see your planting options. Start with cheap crops like cotton ($1) or corn ($3) to build up capital before expanding.

#### How to Play

##### Planting and Harvesting

Click any empty plot (brown square) to open the planting menu. Each crop has:
- **Cost** - What you pay to plant
- **Profit** - What you earn when harvesting
- **Grow Time** - Turns until ready

When a crop shows the wheat icon and "READY", click it to harvest and collect your coins.

##### Fertilizer

For just $1, you can fertilize an empty plot before planting. Fertilized plots give:
- -1 turn grow time
- +50% profit on the harvest

Look for the star icon on fertilized plots.

##### Plot Upgrades

Empty plots can be permanently upgraded:

| Upgrade | Cost | Benefit |
|---------|------|---------|
| Irrigation | $30 | +15% profit on all crops |
| Greenhouse | $80 | +30% profit AND -1 turn on all crops |

Upgraded plots show water droplet or house icons. Upgrades stack with fertilizer!

##### Expanding Your Farm

Buy new plots when you have coins. Costs increase as you expand:
- 3rd plot: $35
- 4th plot: $50
- 5th plot: $70
- 6th+ plots: $100 each

The grid supports up to 12 plots.

#### Systems That Unlock Over Time

##### Weather (Turn 6+)

Weather affects crop growth speed:
- **Sunny** - Normal growth
- **Rainy** - Crops grow faster (-1 turn)
- **Drought** - Crops grow slower (+1 turn)
- **Storm** - Much faster growth (Turn 10+)
- **Heatwave** - Slows growth significantly (Turn 10+)

##### Seasons (Turn 15+)

Seasons rotate every 10 turns and provide profit bonuses:
- **Spring** - Carrots and lettuce +20%
- **Summer** - Corn and tomatoes +25%
- **Fall** - All crops +15%
- **Winter** - Wheat +30%

##### Equipment Shop (Turn 20+)

Buy permanent upgrades for your farm:
- **Watering Can** - Reduces drought penalties
- **Scarecrow** - 10% chance to double harvest
- **Sprinkler** - Auto-fertilizes one random plot each turn
- **Weather Station** - Extends favorable weather

##### Crop Variety Bonus

Growing different crops simultaneously gives profit bonuses:
- 2 different crops growing: +10% profit
- 3+ different crops growing: +20% profit

Mix it up to maximize earnings!

#### Random Events

Events trigger randomly as you play:
- **Lucky Harvest** - Next harvest +50%
- **Seed Sale** - Next planting half price
- **Bumper Crop** - All growing crops advance 1 turn
- **Found Money** - Free coins!
- **Pest Invasion** - Next harvest -20% (bad luck happens)

#### Crops Guide

| Crop | Cost | Profit | Grow Time | ROI |
|------|------|--------|-----------|-----|
| Cotton | $1 | $3 | 2 turns | +200% |
| Lettuce | $2 | $5 | 2 turns | +150% |
| Corn | $3 | $7 | 3 turns | +133% |
| Carrot | $5 | $11 | 3 turns | +120% |
| Wheat | $8 | $18 | 4 turns | +125% |
| Tomato | $15 | $32 | 4 turns | +113% |
| Pumpkin | $35 | $75 | 5 turns | +114% |
| Strawberry | $60 | $130 | 6 turns | +117% |

Premium crops (strawberry) unlock after earning enough total coins.

#### Tips for New Players

1. **Start cheap** - Cotton and corn have great ROI for beginners
2. **Fertilize before premium crops** - The +50% bonus is huge on expensive crops
3. **Upgrade before expanding** - One greenhouse plot earns more than two basic plots
4. **Watch the seasons** - Plant seasonal bonus crops for extra profit
5. **Diversify** - Keep 2-3 crop types growing for the variety bonus
6. **Save for equipment** - The sprinkler pays for itself quickly

Happy farming!
