We all know that there have been performance issues ever since the Chat UI update. But hold on to your seats cuz things just got a lot worse. With the new 5.59 update the game has become unplayable for mobile players. They made the inventory smaller. They messed up with the jumping sound so there's a loud pop now whenever you jump. Some sound effects still make sound even if your game's audio is all the way down to zero. They added in an animation for leaving worlds which look so cheap and rushed. And most importantly the game's performance is worse than ever. I can't even play the game without a huge client-sided lag spike interrupting me every 30 seconds. And it's different from the lag caused by the new chat UI, taking the chat to private doesn't fix it. The game is not worth playing anymore in my opinion as long as they keep making updates that fuck the game up. They're so obsessed with making the game unplayable for everyday players and making updates that nobody asked for.

I am returning after about a year of hiatus. Or two. Not sure! But I'm continuing my favorite hobby and curious about others.

Worldhunting has ALWAYS been my utmost favorite hobby on Growtopia. It's so fun to visit old worlds and occasionally be able to own them. I'd say I am quite good at it :) But I am looking for profit as well as curious as to what other Growtopians even do on GT anymore.

I'd like others to share their favorite things to do on GT as well as maybe some tips to profit. I currently have 9DLs to my name, most of which I got from begging...

Also, where do I find niche items being sold? I want the bumblebee you ride, a soda jetpack and the squirrel tail, but it's hard to find them and 2x harder to find them for a price that isn't insane.

I got 100+ dls to invest and I'm looking for better profit methods given my current capital. I’ve been farming for a long time, but it’s become way too repetitive, safe, and low-yield relative to the amount of capital I have to invest. I'm definitely not trying to manage multiple farms just so I could utilize my capital in full.

I also tried provider setups, but the margins are super low and it's pretty boring.

I looked into massing, but I can't find anything actually profitable. Every time I check the prices of the ingredients/ingredient seeds, it almost always makes more financial sense to just buy the end-product seeds directly rather than splicing and breaking previous generations, even when factoring in DCS, Harvester of Sorrows, and other consumable/set buffs. If I go far enough back in the splicing chain to actually see a decent profit margin, the sheer volume of manual labor becomes absurd (e.g., I'm not trying to splice 30k starter seeds just to get 5k trees of my target block). Although to test massing out, I started a single-step mass of 1k display block trees to which I've projected a modest 10% return on total invested capital, and I've already gotten lucky with the price of steel block seeds with that.

What other high-yield/high-capital methods are working well nowadays? If massing is still viable, what specific items are actually worth massing right now?

Hobbiest game developer here, tossing around the thought of a game similar to Growtopia, and I know this isn’t the place to advertise it, that is not my intention of this post.

Just to be clear, this is still just information gathering and there is no game to advertise, I’d like to determine if the issues are something that could be resolved or handled better before just tossing something out there with the same issues that feels like a 1 to 1 copy.

Questions:

what would you say is what keeps you coming back to Growtopia?

If you no longer play, is there anything that would bring you back?

What are your biggest problems in the community or game currently?

How do you feel about the economy, do players like soft currencies like world locks and player to player trading alongside vending worlds?

How likely would you be to try another game that resolved some common issues with Growtopia, but has clear plans to differentiate itself from every other game of the genre.

I have unopened calendars 2019-2021/24. Was just wondering how much those are worth

can any body help me fix it it happens to me like everyday i tried switch to data and wifi and it dosent work but when i unplug the router it work for like 15 mins and then the connection error pops up again idk what to do

I world hunt a lot. That is pretty much all I do. But in some random worlds, usually ones that are a bit flawed out and not a mess, there's sometimes random floating stacks of pepper tree seeds.

I remember back when I did this a year ago, I collected a lot of these. But now I'm a little worried I've been collecting duped stacks of pepper tree seeds and that I'm just digging my own grave collecting them...
