Sam route
Choose seed → plant → sell → repeat
Sam is the Seed Shop Owner for first-minute play; buying a starter seed is useful only when the player can still plant it, harvest it, and fund the next repeat.
Follow the route
Choose: read the starter options at Sam and pick one whose cost leaves a replant reserve.
Complete: plant, wait for the crop's visible ready state, and harvest rather than buying a second optional route immediately.
Repeat: sell at the current stand, compare the result with the next seed price, and only then open gear or egg spending.
The player has completed one visible harvest-and-sell loop and knows which starter seed can be repeated before moving to gear or eggs.
Stop / task / handoff board
Sam route stop
Use an NPC page to choose the next concrete stop in the garden loop, then hand the result to the matching shop, crop, or sell route.
Role: Seed Shop Owner.
Visit when this task is the next blocker, not because every shop is open.
Leave with a buy, plant, harvest, sell, or reward action chosen.
Stop at Sam after the current task is complete; do not add optional spending before the route proves its next repeat.
If stock or price differs, return to the shop hub, choose the visible lower-risk option, and keep the next repeat funded.
Worked decision
First-ten-minutes seed loop
A new player reaches Sam with enough currency for one starter seed and is tempted by several optional purchases.
Decision
Buy one visible starter option, plant it, harvest and sell it, then use the result to decide whether the next repeat is funded.
Why this route
Sam's recorded job is the Seed Shop Owner and the route explicitly prioritizes buy → plant → harvest → sell; optional purchases before that loop remove the proof of repeatability.
If the state changes
If Sam's stock or the first-sale result differs, reset to the current shop and choose the lower-cost funded seed route.

If the item, offer, or result differs, stop before another purchase or sale. Repeat the relevant check above with the current details, then use the linked route that still fits your budget and task.
Page-specific questions
Before you commit
What is Sam's role?
Sam is recorded as the Seed Shop Owner in the Seed Shop. Use the current shop display for the actual starter prices and stock.
What should I buy from Sam first?
Choose one visible starter seed that leaves a replant reserve, then complete the buy → plant → harvest → sell loop before optional spending.
When should I leave the starter route?
After one sale proves which seed can fund its own repeat. Then compare stock, crop value, and only the gear or egg that solves the next concrete blocker.
Decision Snapshot
Sam Next Move
Sam is most useful during First minutes; the stop should end in a visible buy, plant, harvest, sell, or reward handoff.
Best use Shop-stop order, first-loop completion, and route handoff.

What To Do With Sam
If Check Then Risk
Arriving at the NPC Seed Shop Read the visible stock or service before buying. A remembered shop state can mislead the first spend.
Starting the route Seed Shop Owner Choose one task that can finish in the current session. Multiple optional stops dilute the reserve.

Risk Check
Wrong stop order
Visiting shops out of order can spend the first reserve before the player proves a repeatable crop loop.
