Garden Horizons just received another mini update, and even though it’s not a massive overhaul, there are several important changes you should know about. From a mysterious helicopter flying above the island to bug fixes and a free redeem code, this patch quietly adds new layers to the game’s ongoing story. If you’re actively farming, grinding seeds, or following the hidden lore, this update is worth checking out. Also check out our Garden Horizon Codes for more rewards!
New Helicopter Spotted in the Sky
The biggest highlight of this mini update is the appearance of a helicopter flying around the island in Roblox Garden Horizons. The helicopter doesn’t land. Instead, it patrols high in the sky, circling the map. You can usually spot it in the distance, but there’s one important detail:
- You need high graphics settings and max render distance to see it clearly.
- If you’re on an older server, it may not appear.
This ties directly into earlier developer hints suggesting that “someone is watching.” With the helicopter now flying overhead, many players believe this is part of a larger storyline that could lead to a future invasion or major event.
Patch Notes Breakdown (Version 569)
Here’s what changed in this update:
New Features
- New seed planting animation
- Added gift code
- “Sprinkler method” addition (possibly related to placement or boosting mechanics)
Major Fixes
- Single-harvest crops no longer shrink after sprinkler boost ends
- Harvest target now follows the closest fruit
- Harvesting no longer consumes bells if inventory is full
- Codes no longer disappear without giving rewards
- Shovel animation now visible to other players
- Teleporting into the shop no longer glitches players underground
- 12 additional bug fixes
- Improved server validation and exploit fixes
Several annoying issues were addressed, especially the code reward bug and harvesting problems.
Transceiver Removed From the Beach?
One of the most interesting changes is the disappearance of the transceiver that was previously located on the beach. Earlier, it displayed Morse code translating to: “Coordinates received. Convoy inbound.” Now it’s gone. This is important because:
- It was originally placed on a mountain.
- It later appeared on the beach.
- Now it has completely disappeared.
With the helicopter now patrolling the island, it strongly suggests the story is progressing.
Secret Room Fix & Missing Objects
The hidden cave room has been adjusted. Previously, a platform blocked access to a potion barrel due to a bug. That issue appears to be fixed.
However:
- The magnifying glass previously seen in the water is gone.
- Some hidden doorway objects have been removed.
- The second secret room may now be fully inaccessible.
This could mean:
- Objects are being relocated
- The devs are cleaning up unused clues
- Or new story content is being prepared
Performance & Lag Concerns
Players with large gardens may notice FPS drops. Even high-end PCs experience performance hits when gardens become overloaded with crops and sprinklers. If you’re running a lower-end system, you may feel this even more. Optimization improvements would be helpful in future updates.
What’s Next for Garden Horizons?
The helicopter, the removed transceiver, and previous Morse messages all suggest that something bigger is coming. The developers clearly aren’t placing these elements randomly. Whether it’s:
- A new island
- A major invasion event
- A secret faction storyline
There’s definitely more on the way. For now, redeem the code, explore the map carefully, and keep your graphics settings high so you don’t miss anything flying above you. Garden Horizons may look calm on the surface, but something is clearly building behind the scenes.
