Pondsmith: Tomorrow Mode

PondsmithTomorrow Mode
The Growing Koi 路 Playable alpha

Build for the fish they鈥檒l become.

Start small, guide your pond through a year, and unlock new choices for the next design.

Choose how to play

Career begins with a modest pond and equipment. Seasonal planning decisions earn Pond XP toward larger ponds, more koi, and upgraded care options.

Free Build and shared challenges do not award XP. Career and unfinished years save in this browser. Starting another year replaces the unfinished year.

Design your pond

Five choices shape your first scenario. Every setting can be changed later.

Planning volume; real construction requires measured dimensions and allowance for displaced water.

These are young koi now; the planning comparison assumes they grow.

Filtration affects waste handling. It does not create swimming space.

Plan needs review

This design has less room per adult koi. Consider fewer fish or a larger pond. This one ratio is not a full assessment of a real pond.

Friends can paste this code into Pondsmith to play the same starting design and seasonal events. Their play will not affect your saved career.

A direct website link becomes available when Pondsmith is installed on koi-fish.com.

Pondsmith is an illustrative planning game. XP measures planning actions in this scenario, not fish health. The thresholds and event language await koi husbandry review. No numerical water-quality or growth predictions are made.
