Summary of "Grow a Garden BUT IT'S FISHING.."
The narrator ignores an incoming giant black hole and focuses on a relaxed fishing session in a fishing-themed version of Grow a Garden.
Storyline / context
- You start with a small fish pond, collect fish, hatch pets, and upgrade by selling catches to buy better ponds, baits, feeders and gear.
- Progression moves from starter/deep sea baits to koi, dinosaur, fossil and the special “bloop” content, culminating in creating a massively mutated, high-value bloop/octopus-like fish that the player often keeps as a trophy.
Gameplay highlights
Ponds / biomes
- Starter pond
- Deep sea pond
- Koi pond
- Dinosaur pool
- Fossil pool
- Special bloop pond
Baits and cooking
- Multiple bait types (deep sea, koi, dinosaur, fossil, bloop, legendary/glow) are placed and “cooked” to produce fish.
- Golden/instant food scoops speed up cooking and production.
- Instabaits accelerate spawning of higher-tier catches.
Auto-feeders / sprinklers
- Auto feeders auto-dispense bait.
- Sprinklers can be used as “auto feeder” equivalents to continuously feed bait and speed production.
- Placing multiple feeders around a pond increases throughput.
Pets
- Hatched pets provide bonuses (example: 19% chance to give coins on catch).
- Pets can be equipped to specific ponds to boost income or speed.
Mutations & modifiers
- Items like wind bottles, rainbow mutation, and mutation beakers add mutations that drastically increase fish value.
- Combining multiple mutation items stacks value and can turn normal fish into mega-valuable mutated monsters.
Gear shop & crafting
- Buy auto feeders, food scoops, gloves, mutation items and other gear.
- Craft eggs/pets and other items to expand your capabilities.
Economy
- Sell catches to Benjamin (buyer) for coins.
- Higher-tier and heavily mutated fish sell for large sums (examples range from millions into the hundreds of millions).
- Exceptionally valuable fish are sometimes kept as trophies rather than sold.
Fun mechanics
- Fish can be used to “smack” other players (humorous interaction).
Key strategies and tips
- Automate baiting
- Buy and place auto feeders/sprinklers near ponds to continuously apply bait and speed up catches.
- Use multiple feeders around valuable ponds to boost throughput.
- Use instant/golden food scoops and instabaits
- These accelerate cooking of high-tier fish and are great for grinding expensive catches quickly.
- Stack mutation/boost items on a single catch
- Use wind bottles, rainbow mutation, and mutation beaker together to massively increase sell value.
- Pets and bonuses
- Hatch and equip pets that give coin bonuses or catch-speed bonuses to increase income per catch.
- Progression and purchases
- Sell mid-tier fish to fund upgrades (ponds, feeders, baits).
- Prioritize advanced auto feeders and better food scoops when affordable.
- Quests and DNA
- Complete simple quests (place starter bait, feed pets, use food scoops on others’ ponds) to earn DNA points and unlock rewards.
- Selective selling
- Consider keeping ultra-rare or visually special mutated fish as trophies.
- Cooperative play
- Use “use food scoops on someone else’s pond” quests to help others while completing objectives.
- RNG & patience
- Some baits are gambles; use bulk or repeated attempts to obtain rare/mutated specimens.
Short step-by-step quick farm routine
- Equip a coin-giving pet.
- Place a high-tier pond (e.g., deep sea or koi) and surround it with auto-feeders.
- Use instabaits/golden scoops on that pond to quickly cook fish.
- When a large fish spawns, apply mutation items (wind bottle, rainbow, mutation beaker) to massively increase sell value.
- Sell mid-tier fish to re-buy feeders/baits and repeat; keep genuinely extraordinary mutated fish if desired.
Notable moments / fun bits
- Discovering you can smack other players with fish.
- Pulling gigantic mutated catches (examples: multi-ton Mosasaurus; multi-trillion valued dinosaur or bloop creations).
- Hatching and keeping a “baby bloop” pet, then creating a massive bloop monster the narrator refuses to sell.
