Creating an Account


Astrobotany uses self-signed (TOFU) client certificates for authentication. In order to join in the fun, use your preferred gemini client to generate a new certificate. The subject fields in the certificate (name, location, email, CN, ...) don't matter. You can either leave them blank, or you can enter in values for your own records.


Once you have generated your certificate, attempt to login and you will be guided through the process of creating an account.


Gardening Basics


You've been given a seed that will grow into a beautiful plant!


Check back every 24 hours to water your plant.

Your score will increase as long as the soil remains damp.

Your plant will die after 5 days without water.


Plant Stages


Your plant will continue to grow and evolve over time.


seed (0 days)

seedling (3 day)

young (3 days)

mature (10 days)

flowering (20 days)

seed-bearing (30 days)


Generations


Once your plant reaches the seed-bearing stage, you will be given the option to either keep going or harvest your plant. If you chose to harvest, your score will reset and you will start over with a generation score multiplier.


generation | multiplier
---------- | ----------
1          | 1.00
2          | 1.20
3          | 1.40
