A cozy idle farm that lives entirely in your terminal. Your SSH key is the whole account — no install, no password, no sign-up. Crops keep time while you are gone, and nothing ever punishes you for being away.

This isn't a web game — it's a recording of the real thing, running on a sped-up clock. Crops grow, ripen and re-sow themselves; coins tick up. To actually play, you copy one command into any terminal. That's the whole install.
Drop a seed on any plot. Turnips in a minute, Voidlotus in twelve hours — patience pays, so the slow crops pay the most.
Close the lid. The simulation is pure and deterministic, so it computes exactly what grew while you were gone — down to the second.
Reconnect to a quiet little world glad to see you: ripe fields, gift parcels at the gate, and a Welcome-Back tally.
Seed almanac
Twelve crops, sorted slowest-growing last. Profit-per-second climbs the longer the wait — the patient farmer wins. Fast crops settle quick, slow crops bank fortunes, and risky crops gamble part of the harvest.

More than "an idle game"
Fertilizer and Merchant's Scale buff a whole run. Hardier Strains de-risk your gambling crops. Buy a Scarecrow to chase off crows, rabbits and moles — and bank their bounty.
Grow from 3 starting plots to 10, then raise a glass Greenhouse for +6 and a 16-plot homestead full of exotic crops like the Dewmelon.
Buy auto-harvest and auto-sow on individual plots so the field runs itself — pick the crop it replants, then leave it humming while you work.
Reset a mature run for Starseeds (a square-root prestige curve) and spend them in the StarShop on permanent boosts: Rich Soil, Market Haggling, Gift Magnet, Stargazer's Almanac.
Market Day, Bumper Demand and Warm Front events. Gift parcels at the gate. 1-in-100 golden harvests worth 100×. A 28-day moon that makes Moonberries shine. Lucky finds in the soil.
No install, no password — your SSH key is the account. A skippable tutorial, a mercy-plant when you're broke, and a promise the game never punishes you for being away.
Free to play, honestly funded
The whole game is a string you can paste into any terminal. It costs almost nothing to run, and donations are the coin slot that keeps it online — never a guilt screen.
