Questions players ask

What is the main Greedy Growers loop?

The official description says to buy a seed from the river, plant it in your plot, watch the tree grow, and harvest before lightning strikes.

Is there an official lightning probability?

No strike probability, loss percentage, or survival curve appeared in the official sources checked on July 31, 2026.

When should I harvest in Greedy Growers?

Harvest when the certain current value matters more to you than the player-defined expected value of holding. The official sources do not publish one universal threshold.

Does the scenario tool know the real lightning odds?

No. Strike chance, loss, protection, and future growth are player inputs because the checked official sources do not publish them.
