A thread to discuss the GIFTBOX potato. Use spoiler tags when you discover something.

UPDATE AS OF 9/28/2023

  • You can now INFUSE once every 18 hours, instead of once every 24 hours.
  • Some special commands are now active at the early stages of this.
  • You can now EXTINGUISH or SNUFF your cooked potato.
  • Other timers have been adjusted when you figure them out.
  • Some messaging updates went in.

UPDATE AS OF 10/2/2023

  • LOOK will now tell you how many times you've used INFUSE at PHASE 0.
  • PHASE 3 descriptions now have some randomization that were in a later PHASE.
  • Once in PHASE 3, you can BREAK to clear out nutrients and reset the description and APPROVE to change aspects of what is shown.
  • Once you complete everything, ANALYZE will get unlocked.
  • Those that should be starting PHASE 4 are nearing the end.

UPDATE AS OF 10/3/2023
Cooldowns are as follows :
BIG SPOILERS AHEAD

  • INFUSE: 18 hours
  • Watering: 1 hour
  • Feeding: 4 hours
  • Playing: 12 hours

UPDATE AS OF 10/7/2023
BIG SPOILERS AHEAD

  • Watering, feeding, and playing all have a random element to them, there is not a set number of days, but definitely a range.
  • Feeding is probably the most crucial step because there are forageables that are preferred. Some potato research should get you on your way.
  • Feeding it things it doesn't prefer or doing too much nitrogen-heavy stuff will slow it down by a lot.
  • Consider the whole process as a tutorial on what to do with this thing, once completed you can do it all simultaneously (all the cooldowns are separate).
  • Once every 10 spirit, you can PET your potato for its happiness in exp. The tutorial gets you to the cap, which is 500. It will all depend on how much you want to do after that to keep that rate up.
  • There are at least a few verbs that give you its happiness level.
  • There is a lot that hasn't been discovered yet. There are little easter eggs and there are different ways to change its description beyond feeding and watering.
  • You can ROLL your potato once completed to change the connecting modifier to something else. APPROVE and BREAK let you mess around more with this.
  • The big one is WEAR once completed. I'll not spoil that here until someone shows it up.
  • I plan to add more to playing with it and some more easter eggs that are more involved in the next coming days.
  • Originally I took the average time it would take and gave myself that to do some edits, but @Gryzzlbok didn't miss a beat and had the best RNG, he ended up being ahead of the average.
