Suggestions

• Try not to overwater your plants and vegetables. You want a balance of half-blue (wet), half-white (dry), on the Water Meter. If you overwater a plant, leaving it alone for a while will allow the excess water will drain off over time.

• Hitting or breaking a piñata with your shovel might be fun, but it will have consequences. A piñata of that same species may be afraid to come to your garden.

• You can increase pinata's happiness by giving it an accessory to wear. (Some accessories also prompt a pinata to perform routine tasks on its own, such as a Goobaa getting shorn.)

Advice

• It's better to tame a sour piñata, rather than breaking it open. If you tame a Sour, it will become helpful, such as by stopping fights, or scaring off Sours. (If you break it open, other piñatas will eat its sour candy, and become sick.)

• When creating a new species from an existing resident, it's helpful not to change your only resident species into a different species. Wait for a second one to become a resident, then romance them first, so you will have some of both species.

• Just because it's nighttime in your garden, it doesn't mean that you can sleep. Some predators, like the Pretztail, like to hunt and eat other species at night.

Strategies

• A little forethought in how you want your garden to look will help avoid problems like cramped habitats, or traffic jams as Piñatas and Helpers travel around from spot to spot.

• A good plan for the player who likes to sell and trade their pinatas is to box their houses with a fence. That way you keep all your species organized. Just make sure while fencing them in that you give them adequate space so they don't get sick.

• As pinatas level up (by returning from parties), their value increases.

• A Tower of Sour will help keep unwanted sours out of your garden.

What to avoid

• Try to avoid piñata fights before they happen by making sure that each piñata has enough of whatever it needs. If a piñata has broken open in a fight, it will be reluctant to return.
