Sprinklers Have Arrived!

💧 Sprinklers Have Arrived

You voted for them. You waited for them. And today, the farms of Origins finally get a little smarter.

Sprinklers are now available as brand-new gardening tools, built for Habbos who’ve spent long nights watering row after row of crops by hand. Whether you’re tending a small garden patch or managing a full-scale farming empire, these machines are here to make life easier.

Fill them with water, place them near your crops, and let them get to work.

Both Sprinklers work using the same familiar gardening interactions you already know, just with a lot less running around carrying watering cans.

This has easily been one of the most requested farming additions since Gardening launched, and we’re excited to finally put them into your hands today. Farms across the hotel are about to become a whole lot greener.

🎣🌱 Token Limits Are Being Introduced

As Origins has grown, so have the stockpiles.

Today, we’re introducing a cap on both Fruit Tokens and Fish Tokens — the free currencies earned through Gardening and Fishing activities around the hotel.

Up until now, there’s been no upper limit on how many tokens could be earned. Over time, this has created a couple of problems for both skills.

For Fishing especially, huge token reserves have made it increasingly difficult for us to introduce meaningful additions to the Fish Token Shop. New rewards quickly become dead content when many players already have enormous stockpiles ready to instantly buy everything on day one.

For Gardening, the change helps slow progression slightly.. Gardening is designed around building and maintaining your farm over time, and unlimited token accumulation was beginning to work against that pacing.

📦 New Token Limit

Both Fruit Tokens and Fish Tokens will now have a maximum balance of:

300,000 Tokens

Important details:

• ✅ Players already above the limit will keep their existing balances

• 🚫 Players above the limit simply won’t earn additional tokens until they spend some

• 🔔 Attempting to gain more tokens while capped will now show a “limit reached” notification

This change gives us more room to expand both token shops in meaningful ways over time, while helping maintain healthier progression for both skills going forward.
