The Constant Gardener
(a Plant Tycoon utility)
Why? Who?
This utility is designed for players (such as me - I'm older than the dirt in the pots) with arthritis in their hands, or carpal tunnel, who have trouble putting soil in 15 pots (not too bad) and then watering all 15 pots (this is very uncomfortable for me).
How It Works:
Run Plant Tycoon.
Run The Constant Gardener utility.
Press ON.
What Does It Do:
Every half a second, the utility checks your pots for soil and water. It fills the pots with soil, and fills them with water to about 80% on the water meter.
Anything else I need to know?
Since each vendor of Plant Tycoon (BigFishGames, LDW, etc) stores the information on the pots in a slightly different place, and since I don't have each vendor's version of the program, the very first time the program is run, one must click "Tools" and then "Find Pots" to find the location of the pots in memory for that particular version. This only needs to be done the very first time the program is run.
Comments, suggestions, questions? Please leave a reply to this thread!
Cheers,
Borg
PS I wish to thank LadyCFII for the idea for this utility, and I wish to thank her (again) in advance for the beta-testing she has not done yet.

I think that could be a possibility! I have carpul tunnel and in any event this will help me out tremendously! plus I got a son 4 dogs in the house 3 cats in the house a hubby and a team of 20 work hands to feed and take care of LOL! {I live on a farm/Ranch}

Update on The Constant Gardener
The Constant Gardener utility is now available for download in the Plant Tycoon Guide section, HERE.
So far it has been tested and works on the LDW and BFG versions of Plant Tycoon. If it works or does not work on your version, let us know in a reply to this thread. In your reply please mention who you bought the program from (if you forgot, it should be on one of the splash screens that appear when the game starts up and is loading).
Cheers,
Borg
