My Grass Farm Merchant Update

The merchant wave is the first named content beat most My Grass Farm players felt after launch. You can see it in the code list: MERCHANT grants a new Grass Type, and several August 2026 roundups call that type Gold Grass. This page explains what that means on the plot. For the broader log, use patch notes. For the live strings, use the codes hub.

Why a merchant theme matters

A merchant is a shop fantasy. In a grass tycoon that already sells blades, land, and workers, a merchant beat usually means new turf to sell you on luck and collection. That matches Rolls, Pure Luck, and Mutation Luck showing up in community upgrade lists. It also matches official art of rainbow clumps: the game wants you to want types, not only bigger rectangles.

If you have not redeemed MERCHANT, stop reading and redeem it via how to redeem codes. A wiki page cannot replace a working code.

What to do with the new type

Put workers on it. Pirate Farmers from RELEASE plus Gold-style turf is the intended pairing even if nobody wrote a design doc for you. See hire workers and the grass type tier list. If the new type processes slowly, raise Silo Rate; do not assume the type is a trap.

Keep starter green. Merchant grass is a multiplier, not a delete key for the old field. Make money fast still starts with Cut Speed.

What probably did not change

The tutorial still gates codes. Settings is still the gear. Servers are still six players. Offline cutting still depends on hires. If a creator says the merchant update added a Trello, they are wrong. Use Discord.

BLACKHOLE overlapping this window is a codes hygiene issue, not a merchant feature. File it under expired codes if Settings rejects it.

Shopping after merchant content

Luck shops become more tempting. That is the trap. Follow the upgrade planner so Rolls do not eat the Cash that should have been land you actually needed—or the reverse, land you bought to plant a type you do not own yet. Expand farm after the new type has a crew.

How we will update this page

If MERCHANT expires, this page will say the type is now a luck-only chase. If a second merchant code appears, it will be listed on the codes hub first. If Gold Grass gets a different in-game name, we will note both labels.

Until then, treat merchant content as: redeem, cut, process, then hunt rainbow on purpose using rare grass. Return to the updates hub for everything else.

Playing the merchant week without FOMO

You do not need to live in Discord. Redeem MERCHANT, cut, process, and go to school. Rainbow hunts can wait for a weekend when the Cash floor is real. Merchant content is a type and a mood, not an emergency. If you missed the week, green plus Pirates still prints. Read Getting Started and catch up without panic rolls.

Naming collision

Gold Grass as a community name may not match the in-game label. Believe the shop string you see. This page keeps both labels so search still works. If the type is purple instead of gold, you still won; you still put workers on it.

Codes that ride along

Merchant week also kept RELEASE in many lists. Do not skip RELEASE because the thumbnail said merchant. Four Pirate Farmers still matter more than a hue. Redeem both, as the codes hub shows, then cut.

If you arrived after merchant week, you still play the same tycoon. Redeem whatever still works, then follow make money fast. Missing a hue is not missing the game.
