Progression / Reputation
Use reputation to decide what to do next.
Keep serving customers, completing orders, and clearing visible tasks. Open the reputation panel whenever progress feels stalled; it shows the path toward more customers and new shop features.
Progress efficiently
Turn normal shop work into progression
Open the task list before choosing the next batch
Look for tasks tied to selling, planting, orders, requests, furniture, growth, repotting, propagation, or discovering variants.
When a task depends on an exact value or threshold, follow the number shown in your current game rather than an older guide.
Finish the closest useful task
Choose an objective that also helps the shop—for example, preparing plants that satisfy an active order.
Avoid buying or planting only to chase progress if it leaves you without space or sale stock.
Recheck the reputation panel
Use it to see how continued progress attracts more customers and opens shop features such as expansion.
If an unlock is not visible yet, verify the current requirement and finish any prerequisite task first.
Spend plant tokens on the next practical need
Check the current unlock panel and choose something that helps an active order, task, or shop-layout problem.
If you are short on space, keep enough room for growing and reserved stock before choosing cosmetic variety.
Make one job count twice
Expect progression to reward several play styles
Pick tasks that overlap with normal shop work. You will progress faster without filling the shop with stock you did not need.
| Task asks for | Combine it with | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Planting or selling | Your next restock batch. | Growing too many plants with no shelf space. |
| Orders or requests | Plants that also satisfy a size or trait task. | Selling the reserved set before submission. |
| Plant size or full growth | Stock you already intend to keep growing. | Moving it to sale space too early. |
| Repotting or propagation | A species you want more of. | Assuming the feature is available before its reputation requirement. |
| Species variety or variegation | Slow catalog expansion between urgent orders. | Treating an unknown variant chance as a guaranteed result. |
| Furniture or shop spending | A real layout bottleneck. | Buying decoration that removes useful stock space. |
Use the number shown in your game
Task families have several escalating stages. Check the current target and reward in the task panel; this guide does not copy unverified values from another stage or patch.
Before chasing the next unlock
Make sure the shop is ready to use it
- Expansion: keep a working growing, reserved, and sales layout before adding more floor space.
- Repotting or propagation: check the reputation panel first; both are gated progression features in the current Steam build.
- New order traits: update your stock plan when the new trait begins appearing. Patch 1.0.3 delays Trailing orders until reputation level 4.
