Favoriting and Unfavoriting Inventory Fruits
Favoriting a fruit in your inventory protects it from being sold. If you try to mass-sell your crops or select a specific one for sale, any fruit marked as a favorite will be excluded automatically. This system helps prevent accidental loss of rare, mutated, or sentimental items you might want to keep or gift later.
To favorite a fruit in your inventory, select the fruit and:
Right-click on the PC
Double-tap on mobile
Press L2 on PlayStation
Press LT on Xbox
A small heart icon will appear next to the fruit, showing that it's now protected. To unfavorite it, just repeat the same input—once the heart disappears, the item becomes sellable again.
Favoriting and Unfavoriting Crops in Your Garden
You can also favorite crops directly in your garden using the Favorite Tool, a Divine-tier item purchasable from the Gear Shop. It costs 20 million sheckles and is found at the bottom of the gear list.
Once equipped, aim at the plant you wish to favorite and activate the tool. A floating heart will appear above or below the crop, marking it as favorited. This prevents you from collecting it accidentally, though it does not stop other players from stealing it during raids. The tool has 20 uses, so use it wisely if you’re managing a large garden.
To unfavorite a crop, simply use the tool on the same plant again. The heart icon will vanish, and the crop becomes collectible once more.
