Chubby Chipmunk Event

The Chubby Chipmunk Event shipped as Update 1.26.0 and was a tight, one-week run from October 4 to October 11, 2025. Unlike sprawling seasonal events, this one packed a lot into a short window: new reward tracks, fresh seeds, a new pet lineup, and a new weather type, all bundled with several quality-of-life changes that quietly improved everyday play long after the event closed.

The standout pull was the chipmunk-themed pet and the seeds tied to the autumn refresh, but the weather addition is what makes 1.26.0 worth remembering, since weather effects influence mutations and crop value across every garden. The QoL tweaks were permanent, so even players who arrived late still benefited from the smoother systems.

Because the event lasted only seven days, there was almost no room to procrastinate. The priority order was clear: grab the limited pet first, bank the event seeds while they rotated through the shop, and progress the reward track daily. If you logged in expecting a leisurely month, you missed it. This was a sprint event, not a marathon, and the time pressure was the real challenge.
