New Quests
🔬 Maya — IGMA Botanist
New NPC — Mutation Research Quests
Maya's Mutation Research
Maya the IGMA Botanist gives you collection tasks: grow a plant with a specific mutation and reach a target weight, then deliver it to her. She accepts 6 mutations: Starstruck (0.8kg → 3 packs), Shocked (0.8kg → 2 packs), Sandy (1.5kg → 1 pack), Snowy/Chilled (1.5kg → 1 pack), Foggy (2kg → 1 pack), and Flooded/Soaked (2kg → 1 pack). You don't need a single fruit at the target weight — you can hand in multiple fruits with the correct mutation and their weights add up! Use the "Donate All Matching Crops" button to deliver all matching fruits at once. Completing all 40 quests rewards a bonus Premium IGMA Seed Pack. Maya can also appraise your fruits for Shillings — if you accept, there's a chance the fruit gets a random mutation. The IGMA event runs for 14 days.

Details
The Admin Abuse event was a developer-run live event on March 1st, 2026. It introduced the IGMA storyline — a helicopter arrived carrying Maya, an IGMA botanist conducting mutation research. Players can now complete Maya's collection tasks to earn IGMA Seed Packs containing 5 brand-new exclusive plants. You can hand in multiple fruits to Maya — their weights add up, so you don't need one massive fruit. Use the "Donate All Matching Crops" button to deliver all matching fruits at once. Maya accepts 6 different mutations: Starstruck (0.8kg, 3 packs), Shocked (0.8kg, 2 packs), Sandy (1.5kg, 1 pack), Snowy/Chilled (1.5kg, 1 pack), Foggy (2kg, 1 pack), and Flooded/Soaked (2kg, 1 pack). Completing all 40 quests rewards a bonus Premium IGMA Seed Pack. Maya can also appraise your fruits for Shillings — if you accept, there's a chance the fruit gets a random mutation. The update also added Bamboo (175k Shillings, grows absolutely massive and can be walked inside) and Mango (10M Shillings, most expensive seed in the game with a base sell price of 10,000 — same as Olive). Two new extreme-rarity mutations — Salad (20×) and Banned (20×) — were introduced as admin-only drops. The Trowel finally released at 250,000 Shillings, letting players move planted crops without destroying them — each purchase gives multiple uses and supports free rotation at any angle (not limited to 45° increments). Two new weather events shake up the island: Lucky Block Seed Rain drops crates from the sky, and Tsunami sends waves crashing across plots. The Premium IGMA Seed Pack is also available in the Robux shop with boosted drop rates. The IGMA event runs for 14 days (2 weeks).
Admin Abuse + IGMA Arrival
A developer-run live event on March 1st at 6:30 AM EST. The IGMA (International Garden Monitoring Agency) helicopter landed on the island, delivering Maya the Botanist. The event concludes the morse code / surveillance lore arc that built up over the previous weeks. The IGMA event runs for 14 days (2 weeks) — farm as many IGMA Seed Packs as you can before it ends!
