I posted earlier a video about the Giga Farm. I have received inquiries about the crop feature which is difficult to understand, so here is a write up to help some of you understand this feature. 

Each animal you keep on the Giga Farm has different foods it eats. It is important to keep a good stock of crops to feed your animals. You can grow corn, beans, and wheat. The key to crops is when you plant and when you harvest. It is critical to how much yield you get from your seeds. Never let your seeds go below zero, you will have to reset if you ever want to plant that crop again.

Planting needs to happen between 6 and 7am. Water increases your yield as it is the food for the plants. Compost is the treat and increases the potential of your field. Having animals on a field decreases its potential. Pigs are the hardest on a field.

Harvesting your crops must happen between 3 and 6pm. If you harvest before this, you will not get any crops. It takes 10 seeds to plant a field, so be cautious of how much you have.

What is the trick to it? Set the time for 6 to 7am, plant your crops, set the clock to 3 - 6pm, then harvest. I do not think it gives you as much yield as waiting through the day for them to grow, but it is a quick trick to get some food for your animals when you are running low or you miss the planting or harvesting time.

Hope this helps!

Here is my unfinished Morino guide. I'm still gathering information for it.

The information I have gathered for this guide is completely based on my experiences with the Morino. That way I can ensure the information here is accurate and not theories.

Icons

• Status
• First screen - Hungry
• Second screen - Happy
• Third screen- Age,Weight
• Fourth screen - Length (Kabutotchi only)
• Food
• First food - Leaf. This is the main food, and the only food for a baby.
• Second food - During the Imotchi phase, this is the treat. During the adult stage, this is the special character-specific food.
• Third food - During adult phase, the treat is placed here.
• Fourth food - After 48 hours in the adult phase, the fourth food will appear.
• Game - This is a guessing game. You must choose a hat four times to find a leaf underneath. 2 out of 4 wins. 3 or more wins fills up 2 hearts instead of 1.
• Potty - Clean up poop!
• Predator This icon will light up when your bug is being attacked by a foot or a frog. It will call out, the icon will light up, then hit A and tap the case or screen to scare the threat away. You will gain happy points each time you save your bug.
• Medicine - Your bug cannot catch a cold, but it will need your medical care if you fail to save it from an attack. It will be bandaged up with a little cane. Select this icon to heal it.
• Light - This will turn the lights on or off.
• Attention - This is the attention icon. When your bug needs something, this will light up.
• Thermostat - This is the feature of the Morino that people tend to have the most trouble with. The thermostat does not move instantly or quickly, and it must be monitored. Morino characters are either Warm or Cool characters. When it enters into its cocoon, you must select either the cold or hot option on the thermostat. It will remain in it's cocoon for 24 hours. It is best not to keep the thermostat in the middle, but to choose cool or warm. Thermostat temperature changes are as follows:

THIS SECTION IS STILL BEING DEVELOPED AND TESTED.

The thermometer tends to behave differently. I'm still pining down facts with the different temperature changes each thermometer has. So far, I have found an 8 hour, 10 hour, and a 12 hour thermometer. Their changes are different from each other. The eight hour thermometer is extremely sporadic while the 10 hour thermometer seems to be the most structured. I have not have much experience with the 12 hour, and am also not sure if it really exists. It will require more research. I believe the different thermometers are linked with weight. I also believe the thermometer might tie into the different cocoons. All of the prior will need to be extensively researched after I have worked on my character methods.

Notes about Morino

• The Polka dot egg can only hatch Kabutotchi.
• The Morino has a screensaver feature. This can be quite annoying after a while, because you cannot watch for poop as easily. However, you can tell if your bug is injured, because the dot between the two trees will not move.
  You cannot tell which cocoon you have until it turns into an adult.
• Attacks happen every 4 hours.

Startup

Upon startup, you will need to set the time. The scissors hand is the left button, paper hand is the right button, and the rock hand is the enter button.

To go back to your beetle from any menu, choose the Go Back icon.

Once you have set the time, you will be given a choice of three eggs.From the egg you choose, you will get a larvae! Start feeding your larvae lots of food. The more food you feed it, the bigger it grows. Before long, you get a juvenile beetle!

The name screen will appear where you enter your name using Japanese characters.

 

 

 

The large, top number on the screen is your health points. The smaller, bottom number is how full your stomach is.

Your beetle has different ways of telling you what it wants. It can be tired, exhausted, hungry, starving, sleepy, asleep, injured, and sick. Your beetle gets tired after a lot of battling or training. If you continue to train or battle, your beetle will become exhausted. If you do not feed your beetle when it is hungry, it will become starved. After a loss in battle, it is possible for your beetle to become injured. You will see him with bandages wrapped around his torso. Heal him with the Care option. If he becomes sick, you can also give him medicine from the Care option. When it is time for bed, your beetle will start off as sleepy, then fall asleep.

 

 

Tired - Exhausted

Hungry - Starving

Sleepy - Sleeping

Injured - Sick

Personal Belongings

You can see what items you hold in the personal belongings menu. From here you can feed your beetle, equip items to your beetle, or give your beetle a present.

 

 

 

 

 

Feed

When your beetle is hungry, he will need to eat. Your beetle will display a heart in a speech bubble if you give him his favorite food. He will have an X in a speech bubble, and will refuse to eat if you give him his most hated food. You can clean up the uneaten food using the Care option, otherwise, it will rot.

Foods will not only feed your beetle, but they will affect the stats of your beetle as well. See the chart below to see each food and its effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technique

This is where you can equip different techniques to your beetle. These can have special effects on either your beetle or your beetle's opponent. Techniques are categorized in Rock, Paper, and Scissor stats. The top shows the effect of the technique. The x# shows how many you have of the technique, and the bottom shows how much Technique score your beetle must have before it can equip the Technique.

You can earn additional Techniques by battling or training.

 

 

 

Presents

You can earn presents randomly in training. You can give these to your beetle for a variety of effects.

Battling

The icon that has the small icon around it is the strongest move of your beetle. The choices your opponent makes are random. It works just like a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. The amount of damage that you inflict has to do with your stats and equipment. If you both choose the same attack, it is a draw, but both will still lose some health points. You can see your opponent's attack on the Rock-Paper-Scissors icon on the right. Yours is shown on the left. The big number is your health, and the small number represents your opponent's health. The battle is won when one party's health becomes zero. If you both hit zero at the same time, the battle is considered a draw.
