oh! yeah I agree we could use automatic plant waterers. A robot is an awesome idea but a regular sprinkler would be neat too. Maybe even some kind of auto harvester to go with it?

I think, having it run on some kind of fuel would make more sense than single-use versions. And yeah not only should plant auto-managers be expensive and hard to obtain, they should also require continuous fuel, and maybe one bot only covers say, 3 plants, so you'd have to get multiples.

so yeah to prevent someone from just not logging in for weeks while their auto-waterers and harvesters just work away infinitely, they'd instead eventually run out of fuel (which could maybe come from pumpkins, or could just be pixcoin. Maybe you could buy bottles of fuel for SPC) and stop working. And also a full load of fuel could last for maybe a week tops.

As for them being items you place in your house... hmmm... I'm not a game dev myself so idk what'd be more efficient, but I feel like maybe revamping the plant and pumpkin cultivating pages to have sections where you can assign bots to your plants would overall be better for both player and dev alike to manage. But that's just an assumption, I got no actual dev experience
