Hey Bush Whackers!

I'm back from my vacation (have been since Monday), and just wanted to say hi and talk about this weeks updates.

There is no forum q&a this week while I catch up, but both that and the Bush Whacker Weekly livestream will resume as per usual next week.

Notice a new premium pack today? It comes with some Plant Splicer updates! The Science-Gro premium item DOUBLES the yields of your crops while you have some, including the research contribution to crops at the Plant Splicer table! In addition to this are the following changes:
- Plant Splicer dialog now shows research time and grow time when you mouse over a crop’s icon.
- Can now research Super Blueberry, Mutated Berry, and Mutated Pepper crops at the plant splicer table.

Later this week, you can look forward to a revolutionary new change to the game tomorrow, and a little mini-event for this weekend.

Let me know if you have any questions! Happy Whacking!

Revolution! The bushes guillotine the whackers?

Welcome back, hope you had a good time off. I like the tweaks for the splicing station but the mouseover on level 10 has a research time of 23h 59m 59s.

Welcome back Nick,
Is The Science-Gro premium item reusable or a one time use?

I had the same question regarding the Science Gro stuff. But it seems very interesting and is enticing. I can hardly wait to see all the revolutionary new changes tomorrow!

Oh I forgot to ask my question: Are we still going to have an Easter event this year? I know the calendar has been kinda screwy. But I'm really looking forward to the egg hunt!

Good catch, phagras! I'll take a look at that when I can.

You get 50 Science-Gro per purchase, and up to 5 purchases. 1 Science-Gro is consumed when you harvest 1 crop. So one purchase will double 50 of your crop yields.

The Easter event will start next Friday, April 9th.

I kinda wish there wasn't a mini-event this weekend. I celebrate Easter this weekend and will be very busy. I hope it's an easy event.

Hi Nick.... Is it possible to give us the Easter Event this weekend and save the mini event for after? Please?

I agree with Flybaby. It is Easter this weekend so why not have the Easter event

I would like to be able to apply the Science-gro just to the crops I want it to go on. Is there any way to do that? I am working on leveling the Prickly Pear up at the splicing station, and don't want to use this great new feature on other crops. This looks like a fun new feature! Thanks!

Welcome back, Nick and thx for the new "stuff", will definitely check out. On behalf of the events: due to work and an overall tiredness I am battling through every event, there is never enough time, lol. But that is my chosing! I enjoy each and every mini or big event no matter when they start or get me by surprise (it still happens, yes). And I even wouldn't mind the mayhem idea by Russ :-). It is 6:06 am here on fools day and I start working in less than an hour. Happy Easter to you Nick and to the BW-Team and of course to my lovely fellow Bushwhackers. rotgold and helpthebushes (one person, two accs and a lot of whacking).

Like Horsedancer I would prefer to be able to pick when I want to use Science-gro. I unintentionally used 16 this morning when I harvested my crops before I understood how this all works now. 🙁

This weekend would be a better time to run the Easter event, but it's just not ready yet, sorry!

The easiest way I could get the Science-Gro to work, was to have it automatically apply when you harvest a crop. So unfortunately you cannot choose not to use it. Instead, just prioritize the crops you want the most research out of until you run out of Science-Gro.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

FYI, you'll see the Science-Gro icon on the crop mouse-over if it's going to be applied. If you've already planted it but don't want to use a Science-Gro on it, you could just avoid harvesting that crop (if you have room to harvest others).
