This update mainly fixes that really annoying bug that some players have reported where all your golden acorns would turn to zero after buying something with them! The problem seemed to stem from that fact that the sum subtracted from the golden acorns could instead subtract the sum it would have been if the cost where coins at the same level. This should no longer be possible to happen.
I hope this eases some of that frustration for when it happened! ːPduckː
Thank you so much for all the feedback and reviews so far! It is so fun to read and all the amazing ideas for the game! ːPhelperːːPpigːːPhenːːPsheepːːPcowːːPdogːːPmagpieːːPfoxːːPbunnyːːPwolfːːPhhelperːːPcatːːPduckːːPgoatːːPfrogːːPllamaːːPunicornːːPdolphːːPfishːːPufoː
You might notice something different about that little Helper there? Plantera 2 has now got Trading Cards (and emoticons ːPcatː) and if you have already played they should start dropping retroactively for the time you have already played!
In this update I have also overhauled the save system to minimize freezing/crashing that some players experienced when placing objects in a really huge garden and hopefully this problem is now fully resolved!
And a heads up to anyone who have come across the really annoying bug where all your golden acorns turned to zero after buying something, this is on my top priority for the next thing to fix!

I have put out a new update for for Plantera 2 that tries to optimize performance a bit when having a lot of items (especially when there is tons of fish and dolphins that spawn a ton of bubbles). Hopefully this will decrease lag a bit for some users who have reached really high levels.
Some other fixes have also been made, most notably hard resetting the game will now also reset the God Mode that previously carried over (by mistake).
I am still looking into optimizing the save system that have caused problems for some players with huge gardens where the game could halt and crash when placing items.
Also the game will soon get Trading Cards and new emoticons etc that will drop! ːPpigː If you have already played a bunch they should drop retroactively also for the time you are/have already played! ːPdogː

I have out a new update for for Plantera 2 that mainly fixes a potentially game breaking bug seen above! When some players where at insane high levels the amount of Golden Acorns that could spawn on start could be extremely high, filling the whole game and cause crashing on start (thank you Blocksbox for pointing this out!).
This can still happen, but at a rate where it should no longer crash your garden :)
Some other tweaks have also been made, mainly to sound volume on particular items!

First I must say thank you so much!! The launch has been fantastic so far and so much fun! Doing everything solo it is a bit overwhelming to handle everything when it is all rushing in and I feel I am being stretched a bit thin currently, but I hope to soon be able to start working on the first updates!
Please join the Steam forum or Discord discussions if you have suggestions or fun ideas!
I will soon also add Trading Cards, Badges and Emoticons!
I have some ideas already for updates, but the plan is not currently set in stone and could change around.
Some of those current ideas are:
- Gamepad support - Possibility to tame the mean critters - Possibility to "posses" creatures like the Helpers and move around and harvest crops manually, or fly or swim around as birds or fish etc - A cinematic mode where the garden pans back and forth when idle so you can have it showing in the background and being nice to look at - Minigames like digging around for treasure with the mole and other ideas - Many players have also asked for more achievements
Also all suggestions for fun animals to add and a fitting produce for them would be welcome!

(Tiny) Update:
- Rebalanced some sounds. Mainly the coin pickup sound when grabbing coins from the Loot Hero
It has felt like an eternity, but the time has finally come. Plantera 2: Golden Acorn is finally released! :D
Thank you so much to everybody who has stuck around and supported the project for this long!
Now that the game has finally been released I really hope that you will enjoy it and hopefully this will still only be the beginning of Plantera! ːPhelperː
With just a few days left until the release of Plantera 2 I am running a campaign with Makeshift to produce a limited edition supply of the Plantera Helper Mellow Plushies!
ːPpigː It will work similar to a Kickstarter campaign: If enough people pre-order (200 pre orders are needed), the plushie will be produced. If not, everyone will get a refund.
ːPhenː The campaign will run for 21 more days from today (April the 7th). After the campaign ends, there will be no way to buy them anymore.
