I’ve been working hard to get this one out before the start of next fest - its been a lot of work but worth it i think! Hope you think so too :)I recommend starting a new game with this update as i’ve introduced entirely new systems so not sure how the old save will hold up!NEW : Fuel Factory + New Resource AddedThe biggest addition this update is the brand-new Fuel Factory! It’s an entirely new progression system and panel to give you more to do alongside the satisfying harvesting loop. My aim for this was to break the monotony of the main game loop based off players feedback - I think it greatly improved the experience and makes for a more well rounded experienceWhat’s IncludedOrbs and Spores to Fuel:You can now deposit your resources directly into the factory which converts them to Fuel Cells, a 3rd resourceOffline Production:Your factory keeps working even when you aren't! The system simulates production while you're offline or away - so if you want to deposit a load and step out, it’ll continue running even if you quit the game (note: the auto deposit feature will not kick in offline)Upgrades: I’ve added more upgrades in the skill tree that link to the factory. You can upgrade your factory’s efficiency in the factory itself too.New UI: Added a dedicated Fuel Factory panel that displays the progress of current conversion time, and shows other useful stats on the factory- Areas are now unlocked by spending Fuel Cells Balancing- Egg variants Gold and Diamond are now locked behind area 2 and 3, giving you something to look forward to when you unlock them- Certain upgrades are now area gated as well, improving the overall flow NEW Tutorial System (First Time User)Added some lightweight tutorial pop-ups to notify the payer of key moments like when you buy your first upgrade, unlock the factory and enter the 2nd areaUI & Quality of Life- Implemented a save file check and a warning pop up to tell the player if they are playing an outdated build- Toned down the screen e...
Audio New background music tracks have been added. UI & localization A “How to Play” screen has been added. You can open it by clicking the question mark (?) button shown below.

Added Linux client.Fixed some steam cloud issues.Fixed a bunch of bugs, such as harpoons sometimes failing to hit the highest den.Various number tweaks.
This honestly still feels surreal to me. I never imagined that my first game would reach the screens of so many players across the world. When I first started this project, it was just an idea, something I worked on late at night, unsure if anyone would ever even see it. Back then, I remember thinking how amazing it would be if even one person out there enjoyed something I created. The thought of 25,000 people playing it was beyond anything I could have imagined.There were so many moments during development where things felt uncertain, long nights, challenges I didn’t know how to solve, and times when I questioned whether I should keep going. But knowing that people were out there supporting the game, sharing feedback, and simply having fun with it made every single moment worth it. Seeing players connect with something that started as a small personal project has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who gave the game a chance, left a review, shared it with a friend, or supported me in any way. You turned what began as a solo passion project into something real, something shared, something alive. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for playing, for supporting, and for being part of this journey. I truly couldn’t have done this without you.Happy mining. ❤️

Quality Update!For an improved user experienceMUSICFirst of all, I'd like to share that ALL PREVIOUS MUSIC has been removed and REPLACED with the known copyright claim free king of music KEVIN MACLEOD.This is for the content creators out there. You can now safely create content on Drop and Grow without any extra hassle. (Apologies)CursorEasily the most controversial feature in this super chill game about growing plants.There are now Left Handed and Right Handed cursor options.In addition, the cursor changes to a writing quill when navigating menus, saving the dew drop leaf for gameplay exclusively.I do realize that the pointer being on the bottom is STILL against the extremely common convention everyone is used to. I will be keeping a close eye on the cursor reactions and will adjust appropriately.Improvements / Changes Options Menu restructured into Tabs (may be expanded upon in future)AudioGameplayUI Art UpscaledUpgrade OverhaulMost Upgrade Icons are now coloredMost Upgrade Icons include a modification indicator symbol for improved signalingSome Upgrade Descriptions have been re-written for better claritySome key words have been 'colorized' in upgrade descriptions (English only)Transparent Dither Amount Increased to more easily see behind large objectsAmazing New Water Shader (more improvements coming)Wind Shader Improved and added to Bushes & FlowersAdded New Backgrounds!Backgrounds will now change after a variable amount of days.

Game development is hard.. That last update was a little bit of a "I rushed it while tired" situation.Hopefully this update is for the better. I am trying to rebalance the game, which as a guy with absolutely no experience in game dev, quite difficult. But with your feedback we should be able to get it to a fair, nicely curved progression.I've included fixes from the last update and some more I found. Made workers slightly easier to find, and added a few features I liked from the discussions.Final note before the changelogEarly access is a difficult tightrope to walk. On one hand, the original goal needs to be fulfilled, and some breaking changes will be necessary to progress toward that goal. On the other hand, I am listening to user feedback and being as careful as possible not to disrupt your playthroughs. I will continue to reshape the game to preserve what players enjoy.As always, thank you for playing, and please keep the above in mind. :)Changelog: Bug FixesFixed completed prints not fulfilling active ordersFixed auto-sell only processing new prints instead of sweeping all inventoryFixed sell actions not triggering milestone checksFixed "Maximum Capacity" achievement being earnable without all rooms unlockedFixed selected printer border disappearing when printing or brokenPer-Printer Worker SettingsSet filament type and print priority individually per printerRoom-level dropdowns act as bulk "Set All" with a confirmation promptMixed settings shown as "Mixed (per-printer)" in orangeWorkers TabMoved worker management to a dedicated WORKERS tab in the bottom action barAppears after hiring your first workerDynamic Spool StorageStorage scales with printer count: 5 slots per printer (minimum 10)Shop filament cards show current/max capacityRoom RebalanceBedroom: 4 slotsGarage: 4 slots $500Office: 8 slots $3,000Factory: 16 slots $15,000Escalating Printer CostsEach additional printer of the same type costs 12% more than the lastShop displays current price based on how ...

Gameplay Fish death removed – Fish can no longer die from sickness. Sick fish stay sick until cured. Decor passive income – Decors now give passive gold while the game is open.

Fixes Fish EXP bug – Resolved an issue where fish sometimes did not gain EXP after loading the game. Fish EXP reset – Fixed a save/load race condition that could reset some fish to 0 EXP. Code cleanup – Removed an unused variable that triggered a compiler warning. UI & Localization Decor passive gold text – Each decor in the store now shows its hourly passive gold income. Translations – Added the passive gold text to all 23 supported languages. Technical Save system – Improved save/load order to avoid overwriting fish data with an empty list during loading. Load flow – Fish loading now waits for required managers before clearing and respawning fish.
