Counterweight Grove
Harvest four trees from a floating balance grove. Tree age is also its weight (1–3); only age-3 fruit can be harvested. Water the tapped column AND its right neighbor together, using one of eight rain charges. You have one seed for an empty column. The movable water barrel weighs 2; its position −2…+2 shifts the platform’s torque. Tree lever arms are −2, −1, 0, +1, +2. Keep total torque within ±4 after every growth, planting, harvest or barrel move. Harvest removes the entire tree weight, so prepare the counterbalance BEFORE picking. Select Water, Plant or Harvest, then tap a tree column.
