Gene Optimizer — God Clone Tool
The large planter box holds 9 plants (3×3 grid) and is best for crossbreeding.
The small planter box holds 3 plants in a single row.

You enter every plant you own. The tool finds the single best arrangement of those plants in the planter box — figuring out which one goes in the center (the plant that will change) and which ones go around it as donors. It tries every possible combination and picks the one that gives the highest-quality output gene sequence.
Each gene has a vote weight used in crossbreed calculations:
| Gene | Weight | Score | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| G | 0.6 | +2 | Growth — faster harvests |
| Y | 0.6 | +2 | Yield — bigger harvests |
| H | 0.6 | +1 | Hardiness — survives without water |
| W | 1.0 | −2 | Water — needs water constantly |
| X | 1.0 | −1 | Empty — wasted slot |
Red genes (W/X) weigh more individually — it takes two green donors to out-vote a single red gene (0.6 + 0.6 = 1.2 > 1.0).
Each gene slot (position 1–6) is calculated independently. For each slot, every neighboring plant casts a vote equal to its gene weight. The rule:
This is why the center is always the target — it gets the most donor votes and therefore changes the most.
Safe mode scores ties by expected value (average of outcomes). It prefers a guaranteed mediocre gene over a 50/50 great/terrible one.
Gamble mode scores ties by best-case ceiling. It will actively seek arrangements that create favourable coin flips — trading certainty for upside.
The solver tries every subset of your plants, not just all of them. Sometimes fewer donors gives a cleaner result by removing bad gene interference.
On a 50/50 tie, the game scans planter slots East → West to break it. Placing your best donors on the East side biases the coin flip in your favour. The grid in this tool is oriented so East = right column — always face the planter with North away from you when placing in-game.
Max possible score = +12 (six G or Y genes).
