Sunflower Code: Only Harvest the Highest Petal Count
Sunflowers drop Power. The bonus comes from harvesting the flower that currently has the most petals. If you harvest a smaller one first, the rest of the field can be destroyed.
How sunflowers actually work
- Plant on soil. Check `get_ground_type() != Grounds.Soil` then `till()`. Current game strings call the default ground Grassland; older notes said Turf. Either way, till until it is Soil.
- `measure()` on a grown sunflower returns its petal count (commonly 7 to 15).
- Harvest only the current maximum. Then measure again — the next max may be a different tile.
- Do not harvest every ready flower in a simple loop. That is the mistake most copy-paste scripts make.
Working sunflower script
Plant the field, scan every tile, harvest only the best flower, repeat until the field is empty, then replant.

passIf this script does nothing
- Unlock sunflowers and wait until they finish growing before the first harvest.
- Need more Power? Keep the field full so the max-petal bonus keeps triggering.
