Work includes rendering soil tiles with compost textures, smooth shader-based texture blending, a compost bucket mechanic with fill/empty logic, a compost bin with multiple model stages, support for multiple compost types differentiated by color via shaders, and gameplay modifiers (growth speed, soil dryout rate, fruit yield) tied to compost type.
