7. Seed tooltips in the storage - part 3

- grayed out flower(bottom row only): These flowers will be given by the judges later, as you progress towards the money goal.

- recipe icon(top row only): it looks like a page from a small notepad. Every third time when you complete an order WITH BONUS, you get a recipe from the customer! The graphical tooltip shows, which two flowers you should cross to create a new kind of flower! If you don't fancy trying combinations, you can just go for recipes with quickly delivered orders! When the top row is filled, then, of course, you won't get recipes any more.

7. Seed tooltips in the storage - part 1

When a crossing was successful, the new kind of flower will be represented by a "?" icon, in the top row of the seeds. Plant one of this flower and when it bloomed, the icon will turn into the actual picture of the flower.

If you hold the cursor over a seed briefly, a tooltip will appear. I will talk about the tooltips when you are in the storage, because usually that gives you more details, than in the garden. In the storage, there is always a text-tooltip at the cursur, AND a graphical tooltip in the bottom left corner.

6.) Crossing - part 1

Have a look at the seeds. The flowers in the bottom row are given by the judges. Most of them are given at the start, the last 1-2 flowers are given later when you have more money. You can only cross the combinations of these flowers.
The new flowers that you have created are placed in the top row. You cannot cross these flowers.
As it was mentioned previously, when you are inside the Storage, the time is stopped, so don't worry about the needy flowers outside. Also flowers won't be sold when you're inside, so relax and have fun crossbreeding!

Bring some flowers in the Storage and go inside. You'll see the flowers, put on the selves. If a flower is grown from the bottom row then it has a white label, with a molecule symbol (red, white and black spheres) on it. It tells you that it can be used in crossing, so you can place it in the crossing machine.

5.) Selling goods, Part-2

Why would you keep goods? For example you want to keep one of each kind of flower, to prepare for crossbreeding them, to try all combinations.
Or you wanna prepare a bit for random Orders that will arrive soon.

Customers arrive from time to time to buy something. If the Storage is full you could wait some time, but there are better options than that.
Either buy additional shelves, or sell goods instantly at a discount price!

4.) Grow more valuable flowers, if you wanna sell them! (part-3)

Example:
You crossbreed a new flower. Its minimal value is $60. You don't use topsoil, just prune it. That's $80. You pick it up and put it in the Wrapping Machine. The wrapped flower will sell for $80*1.4=$112. Wrapping increased the value from $80 to $112, that's $32 increase.
If you use topsoil and prune this kind of flower, then the flower will be worth $100. Wrapping adds ($100 -> $140) $40 value to it! So the more value a flower has, the more value wrapping adds to it!

The flowers, that you created throught crossbreeding are more valuable! These are the ones that appear at the top row of the seeds.

When the Topsoil is available, always use it, before planting a flower! This increases the value of the flower a great deal, with little effort (see explanation later).

Prune the flower! You plant a seed, the flower grows and develops multiple flower-buds. If you don't prune the flower, then multiple *small* flowers will bloom on the flower. This sell for less.
However, if you prune the flower, you will get a more valuable result! The 'story' behind pruning: Fiona cuts off all the flower-buds except one. This one bud will grow large! The plant will have one HUGE flower which sells for more!

(If you don't mind going a bit technical: 60% minimal flower value + 20% if you use topsoil + 20% if you prune = 100%.)
