Tea Garden Simulator

[h1]Yes, yes, yes.[/h1] Despite the current bugs, I recommend this game wholeheartedly. [h3] Regarding the negative reviews: Improvements can be made, but this is NOT a dead game.[/h3] The devs are present and responsive, and they need player input to improve At its heart, this is a game about growing and producing tea, and making money by selling the best tea you can possibly generate, given your current available land, tea plants, production equipment and a healthy dose of your own tea knowledge. If you enjoy tea, if you want to learn more about how it's made and the down-and-dirty details of what makes tea taste good, the challenges of processing it while preserving all of the qualities you want it to have, this is absolutely 100% the game for you. Nothing else like it exists. At the same time, this means it isn't really a 'casual' production game - it is a simulator, through and through. Selecting the right cultivar of plants for the type of tea you want them to produce, managing the soil to maximize precursor compounds, and then processing to maximize the presence of certain flavors and aromas while minimizing the loss of others - that's what this game is really about. …

This is far more of a simulator than a game. I know nothing about tea cultivation and production but I'd be surprised if you'd find more detail in a textbook than in this game. Many of the bugs mentioned in earlier reviews seem to have been fixed but ultimately its not a fun game. At a high level its quite basic: grow your tea leaves, process them in different ways to produce different kinds of tea to sell. However, each stage has numerous parameters that have to be set correctly to produce the best quality of the chosen tea. There are numerous chemical compounds represented in the plants that vary depending on the variety, weather, time of year etc. These have to be converted into the right balance of other compounds for the type of tea (black, white, oolong, green) through a series of machines, each with several parameter (time, airflow, temperature, pressure etc.) to produce your final tea. I'm an engineer so I love a complex simulation but the main issue with this game is the step change in difficulty and lack of explanation. At level 1 you're told exactly how to process the leaves through a reference guide and some tutorial text with much of the complex options hidden but wi…

[h1]What I liked?[/h1][hr][/hr] * Niche game * In-depth mechanics. Water, sun, soil, chemicals, everything impacts tea in different ways. Very detailed [h1] What I didn't like?[/h1][hr][/hr] * UI. very old, inconvenient to play * Lack of education. Would be cool to learn about tea along the way * Lack of automation. You can make production chains, but it's very inconvenient due to UI (I can barely see where my tea leaves would go). Also it's hard to look at all parameters with current UI, it just lacks features [h1]Rating 5/10[/h1][hr][/hr] Interesting concept for sure and I feel soul in this game, depth But it lacks polish, better UI/UX, better automation Cause foundation is there, just needed bit work here and there. Also considering many people don't know much about tea and it's a complex game, devs needed to work way harder on FTUE to get more attention to the game. Now it has lots of content for hours of gameplay, but most people would be gone in 30 min. Anyways, very unique It's very niche, but it's not bad. If you like tea, old school games/UI and automatization it may be a good fit for you.

i really loved the game, i like the complex mechanics of the whole game, but my main problem and the reason i refunded it is there is multiple bugs that wont let me continue processing the tea and placing stuff, i have to restart the game to fix it everytime

Thank you for education game!

This isn't an automation game. It's more an "obsess over why your tea tastes like ♥♥♥♥" game. I would not be a good tea maker.
