Easter Eggs and References[]
It's Corn[]
Farmchain was released around the time of the popular "It's Corn" meme, and contains references to this meme. In the bottom right corner of the map, there is a patch of corn with a quote from the meme by Tariq, aka Corn Kid. It says "I can't imagine a more beautiful thing". When you get close to the patch, it allows you to do an action called "I Agree, It is Beautiful!" Doing this, you will get 3 free corn, and a dialog screen that has another reference to the meme, "Have a corntastic day." After closing the dialog box, the host's screen will have a message saying "Player Name can't imagine a more beautiful thing." Also, the tooltip for corn is "Have a corntastic day".
Snowbrawl/Frostbite Foreshadowing[]
Farmchain foreshadowed the game mode Snowbrawl and the Frostbite Event that introduced it. In the research lab, "A snowstorm is inevitable" is written on the blackboard.
Gimkit Creative Foreshadowing[]
The blackboard was later updated from the line mentioned previously to, "It's all been leading to the CREATIVE thing?" referring to the release of Gimkit Creative.
Don't Look Down Foreshadowing[]
The blackboard was later updated from the line mentioned previously to, "Have you tried jumping today?" referring to the Don't Look Down game mode.
Notes[]
- The descriptions are "2D cooperative farming!" and "It’s a group effort to keep this farm running..."
- According to a Blastball advertisement, the name of this farm is Rocky Farms.
- The How-To-Play is simply made of screenshots from the reveal trailer.[1]
- This is Pharlain's favorite gamemode.
