Tiny Eden Playtest Update: New Systems, Tools, Drones, and More

The next Tiny Eden playtest is here, and we’d like to welcome you to our cozy little corner to try out our game! This new version of Tiny Eden is a huge step forward and includes a lot of new systems, improvements, and even experimental features for you to enjoy.

This playtest is especially important for us because several core parts of the game have been expanded, including plant care, automation, diseases, tools, and the city environment.

So, we would love to hear what feels good, what feels confusing, and what you think still needs work.

What’s new in this playtest?

New tutorial

We’ve added a new tutorial to help introduce the basic flow of Tiny Eden more clearly. This should make it easier to understand how to start growing, caring for plants, and progressing through the early game.

Drones All new automation system

This playtest also introduces the first MVP version of drones. Drones can now help automate several gardening tasks, including:

• Filling pots with soil, if there is enough soil in the station

• Planting seeds, if seeds are available in the station

• Watering plants

• Removing weeds

• Harvesting crops

• Removing dead plants

• Removing damaged leaves

• Pollinating plants, though this is not testable yet

This is still an early version of the automation system, so feedback on how drones feel, how clear they are, and how useful they seem will be very helpful.

New plant disease mechanics

Plants can now be affected by new disease problems, including:

• Fungus

• Aphids

These new mechanics are part of our ongoing work to make plant care more interesting and varied.

New tools

To support the new plant care systems, we’ve added several new tools:

• Sprayer, used for treating plant diseases

• Vacuum cleaner

• New add-ons for boxes and pots, including temperature and light regulators

These tools are intended to give players more ways to manage the growing conditions inside their apartment garden.

New city exterior

The city outside your apartment has been updated, giving Tiny Eden a stronger sense of place and atmosphere.

Cooking animations

We’ve also added new cooking animations in the kitchen, helping the harvesting and cooking loop feel more complete.
