Leveling Up Your Game in Grow a Garden: Upgrading the DNA Machine
Hey there, gamers! If you’re playing Grow a Garden and want to take your experience to the next level, you’re in the right place! Let’s chat about the exciting updates and how you can upgrade the DNA Machine to unlock awesome Dinosaur and Primal eggs. 🦖🌱
What’s the DNA Machine?
The DNA Machine is a special feature in Grow a Garden where you can trade your pets for some super cool Dinosaur pets and eggs. However, the original way to do this took a bit too long, and gamers were getting frustrated. But don’t worry! The game developers listened to your feedback and made it easier for you to upgrade the machine.
Quick Tips for Upgrading the DNA Machine
Before we dive into the upgrade steps, here are some quick points to remember:
- You can upgrade the DNA Machine up to five times.
- You need prehistoric plants, which you can get by opening Ancient Seed packs.
- Upgrading the machine speeds up the process of getting your Dinosaur and Primal eggs.
How to Upgrade the DNA Machine
Ready to level up? Here’s how to do it:
-
Find Barry the Raptor: Head over to the center of your play area where you’ll find Barry, the Raptor wearing a construction hat, next to the DNA Machine.
-
Interact with Barry: Press the ‘E’ key to talk to him. He’ll ask for your prehistoric plants. Make sure you have some in your inventory!
-
Give Barry the Plants: Choose the dialogue option that says “Take all my prehistoric plants” to hand them over.
-
Fill the Progress Bar: Keep giving plants until the blue bar above Barry’s head fills up. This will upgrade the DNA Machine.
Upgrade Levels
You can level up the DNA Machine five times, and each level requires more prehistoric plants. Here’s what you’ll need:
| Upgrade Level | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 1 | 40kg prehistoric fruit |
| 2 | 60kg prehistoric fruit |
| 3 | 80kg prehistoric fruit |
| 4 | 100kg prehistoric fruit |
| 5 | 120kg prehistoric fruit |
With each upgrade, not only does the machine look cooler (it eventually turns into a giant dinosaur head!), but it also works quicker, helping you get eggs in no time!
Why Upgrade the DNA Machine?
Once upgraded, the DNA Machine holds your eggs and pets until they’re ready. After your trades with Graham (another NPC), just watch for the timer inside the machine. Once the time is up, return to collect your new pet or egg!
Quick Tip: If you’re the type who loves completing quests quickly, this might not be your best move yet. But if you have a bunch of pets you’re ready to trade and you’ll be away from the game for a bit, the upgrade is totally worth it!
