|---|---|---|---|
| Rare crop exposure | Before night phase | High-value crops are the biggest risk | Open defense |
| Mutation harvest | Before selling | Mutated crops are worth protecting | Use calculator |
| Gear route | When planning theft or defense | Tools can change risk | Open gear |

Before Night Route
Follow the route in order, then adjust when stock, weather, or rewards change.
| Step | Do this | Why it helps | Open next |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check which crops are rare, heavy, or mutated | Those harvests carry the most value risk | Values |
| 2 | Use calculator before deciding to hold | A crop worth holding is also worth protecting | Calculator |
| 3 | Compare gear and crate options | Some tools and props fit defense planning | Gear |
| 4 | Match pet ability to the route | A useful pet can support crop safety or income | Pets |
| 5 | Set defense before stepping away | Protection works best before the risk starts | Defense |
