Getting Started: Claim Your Free Chipmunk

Kicking off the Chubby Chipmunks event is a breeze, and it's designed to hook you in fast. Head straight to the spawn point in the center of the map, where your complimentary chipmunk is waiting—no strings attached. These little guys come in random colors that add a splash of personality to your garden: you might score a vibrant purple one (always a fan favorite for that glowing vibe), a zesty orange, or even other shades depending on your luck. Once you've snagged yours, just place it on an empty plot, and watch it settle in. Don't sweat the "radioactive" look if you've got a brighter hue—it's all part of the charm.

Right from the jump, your chipmunk starts doing its thing: every two minutes, it munches on a fruit from your garden, packing on a modest 0.009 kg of weight. After each snack, an acorn pops up somewhere on the map. Snagging these acorns dishes out random goodies, but heads up—this is more of a side hustle than the star of the show. It's a nice bonus for passive rewards like the occasional nutty chest, but efficiency-wise, it's not going to carry the event on its own.

The Core Quest: Fattening Your Chipmunk for Big Wins

At its heart, this update boils down to one gloriously simple goal: make your chipmunk as chubby as possible. Each kilogram milestone unlocks a cascade of rewards, turning your pudgy pal into a weight-gaining machine that pays off handsomely. Starting at a baseline 1 kg, your first checkpoint hits at 1.25 kg, where you'll unlock a nutty case packed with a pecan seed (solid for expanding your nutty lineup) and a Fortune Squirrel sporting a slick mutation that amps up your luck on future drops.

As you push further, the chipmunk's potential shines—visuals show it ballooning up to impressive sizes, with color variants like sunny yellow ones stealing the spotlight alongside your purple pride. Every bite adds to the tally (like that initial 0.01 kg from a strawberry), but the real magic ramps up when you layer in event boosters. Pro tip: the heavier your chipmunk gets, the stronger its overall abilities become, just like leveling any pet in the game. It's a snowball effect that makes late-game grinding feel rewarding rather than rote.

Unlocking Nutty Fever: The Speed Boost You Can't Miss

To turbocharge the weight gain, enter Nutty Fever—the event's game-changer. Normally, your chipmunk grazes every two minutes, but flip on Nutty Fever, and that drops to a blistering 30 seconds per munch. Suddenly, those kilos stack up like they're in a hurry, letting you blitz through milestones in record time.

Activating it is straightforward: harvest plants from your garden and submit them to the central NPC. Any plant works—tomatoes, elder strawberries, carrots, you name it—but points scale with rarity to reward savvy gardeners:

• Common: 1 point

• Uncommon: 2 points

• Rare: 3 points

• Legendary: 4 points

• Mythical: 5 points

• Divine: 6 points

• Prismatic: 7 points

• Transcendent: 8 points

Theoretically, a plot bursting with transcendent elephant ears sounds epic, but a reality check: they regrow agonisingly slowly, making them a grind-killer for most players. Instead, lean into fast-regrowers like tomatoes (common but reliable) or blueberries (one point shy but quick to harvest). In one test run, a single bag of around 100 mutated tomatoes netted 700 points—proof that quality mutations might juice those scores even higher. If you're swimming in prismatic elephant ears from past events, toss a few in for that 7-point bump, but balance it with quicker crops to keep the momentum going.

Prep and Logistics: Setting Up for Smooth Sailing

Before you dive in, stock up on inventory space with a Pack Bee—crafted in the recipe shop using spare honey—for about 33 extra slots. It's a lifesaver, cutting down on trips to the NPC and letting you submit massive hauls in one go. Without it, you'll be trekking back and forth, but it's totally doable if honey's tight.

Harvest strategically: clear your plots of whatever's ready, prioritizing speed over perfection. Tomatoes shine here because they bounce back in minutes, unlike those elephant ears that might still be half-grown hours later. Submit your load (one run hit 181 plants for 1,210 points, mostly from prismatic picks), and boom—Nutty Fever ignites. Your chipmunk goes into overdrive, zipping around the map in adorable frenzy while acorns rain down.

Rewards Breakdown: From Chests to Shiny Surprises

Milestones dish out nutty cases and chests as you climb the kg ladder, but don't sleep on those map-spawning acorns—they're OP for extras. With Nutty Fever humming, acorns drop constantly, and collecting them can yield nutty chests (a slim 2% shot, but hey, luck strikes). One lucky grab even spat out a pet shard nutty, a rare gem that equips your chipmunk with a quirky passive: every 20 minutes, the next pet ability has a 20% chance to double up, or it risks dropping a level (high-risk, high-reward vibes).

Crack open those nutty chests for a gamble on:

• Hazelnut seeds (common but useful basics)

• Farmer Chipmunks (boost nut plants' growth by 1.5x—decent for themed gardens)

• Idol Chipmunks (every 12 minutes, sings for 8.5 seconds to restore 1.5% hunger to all garden pests—handy for upkeep)

Nutty crates, often bundled in rewards, overflow with cosmetics: glowing lanterns for ambient flair, sturdy stools, or stacked bookshelves to deck out your plots. After a solid hour or two of focused play, expect 15–20 nutty chests, plus master/grandmaster sprinklers, energy boosts, and more. One marathon session claimed 18 chests alone, unearthing Simon seeds amid a sea of hazelnuts (RNG can be brutal, but persistence pays). All told, you could farm 20–25 chests hourly with this setup—the grind's real, but the haul makes it worthwhile, especially for chinchillas and beyond.

Efficiency Hacks: Maximize Your Time Without Burning Out

Mobility is key for acorn hunting—slap on raptors for speed bursts, or gear up with a recoil wrench and event lantern to zip across the map. Teleport to the seed shop when spawns align to shave seconds off each run. Collecting acorns is optional; you can AFK the weight gain entirely, but remember: offline means no munching, so log in and let it roll. For realism, stick to tomato runs if you're starting out—they're accessible and scale well. And if a dev drops in for a surprise seed rain (wild admin fun, as seen in one session), roll with it for those unmissable moments.

As your chipmunk plumps up, its basic abilities evolve, making it a more formidable asset in the long term. Keep claiming those milestones—49 left after the first? Pace yourself, but the progression feels electric.

FAQs on Chubby Chipmunk Update

1. What plants should I prioritize for Nutty Fever points?

Go for fast-regrowers like tomatoes (1 point each but quick cycles) or blueberries if you're out. Save prismatic or higher for bonus points, but avoid over-relying on transcendent ones due to their slow regrowth.

2. How often does the chipmunk gain weight during Nutty Fever?

It eats every 30 seconds instead of 2 minutes, skyrocketing your kg gains. Without it, expect the standard 2-minute intervals.

3. Are acorn collections worth the effort?

Absolutely for extras like nutty chests (2% chance) and rare shards, but they're optional. Use speed tools like raptors to make it less tedious.

4. What rewards come from the first milestone at 1.25 kg?

You'll snag a nutty case with a pecan seed and a Fortune Squirrel, complete with a cool mutation for better drops.

5. Can I progress this event offline?

No—the chipmunk only eats and gains weight while you're online. AFK in-game to keep it rolling passively.
