Common Progression Mistakes

Mistake #1: Rushing to Expensive Crops

Don't plant 500-coin seeds on Day 2. Build capital with cheap crops first, then scale up gradually.

Mistake #2: Ignoring Plot Expansions

More plots = more income. Prioritize unlocking all 20 plots by Day 20.

Mistake #3: Not Using Calculators

The value calculator and profit analyzer save hours of trial-and-error. Use them daily!

Mistake #4: Hoarding Coins

Reinvest aggressively until Day 25. Every coin not invested is a coin not multiplying.
