You earn gold by successfully finishing levels. Each research entry has two tiers. The first tier usually unlocks new equipment, while second-tier research items are usually involve equipment upgrades. As you unlock equipment, the menu filling the lower right corner of the research screen fills up with dishes that you can now make within a level.

You don’t always start each level with the equipment you need. In these levels, the equipment is grayed out. You must pay to unlock equipment. You can also use your earnings to upgrade your equipment, storage, and truck to increase the efficiency of your operations.

On occasion, a spider will appear onscreen. If you can catch it, you can put it in a cage and sell it to the market along with all the other goods.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Whenever you can afford it, buy research before starting a new level. This will not only help you in later levels but also make sure that you’re capable of finishing a new level.

Always start with grain. Your starting money is always enough to buy 2 grain plants as opposed to a singular vegetable plant. This extra plant will allow you to build up your cash reserves faster, which will be necessary if you want to buy upgrades.

Wait until the crop timer is finished before adding a new plant or pig. Doing so will add an extra unit of raw products when you select the timer.

As a rule, processed goods sell more than raw goods. Increase your revenues by making the processed items required by the level. Remember, you only need to meet the requirements listed on the top row to finish each level. Make only what you need. You do not need to ship the required food items to meet the level goal.

If you need extra gold for research, consider replaying any of the levels you’ve played before.
