What happening in my farm?

[DevilShizuka]

Hello, Recently i started a new character with 4 friends. I know none of them stole from my farm before, but there were time when i planted a 10000
Gold seed, and next day i came to collect. It only gave me 7000-8000 Gold. So I was thinking about the purpose of the worms and what they do, . Do they say eat up your seed and reduce the amount at the end? Its like what would happen in the real world. Another day I planted a 10000 Gold seed. and I ended up with 12000 Gold. And not sure how that happened. Can anybody explain this to me?

Weeds and bugs do affect your crops. If they're still present when your farm is ready, your harvest will be reduced.

Could be a number of reasons why you gained 20% more gold.
Farm upgrade (1-9)
Blue rarity seeds (1,4,12hr)

That's good to know. Never thought they had any effect really. Thought they were there to help raise farm lvls only. Thanks, that answered my question
