What height does Elvira want?

5 cm, everything cut, nothing broken, gnome still standing.

How do I start the engine?

Hold the key until it catches. A tap does not start it.

What do the receipt letters mean?

Coverage, height, care, time, and perfection. I do not have official weights for them.

One More Lawn Beginner Guide: Start, Mow, Finish

One More Lawn on Steam: Six actions, in the order the demo teaches them. No scoring formula, because Superdou has not published one.

1. Hold the key

The engine is hold-to-start. A click is not enough. Sit on the red mower and keep the key turned until it catches. The store screenshots put that key on the dash next to the blade switch and the lights.

2. Blades down, deck at the asked height

Flip the blade switch and lower the deck. Elvira’s note is 5 cm. The golf screenshots later show a fairway asking for 3.5 cm, which is a different job and not your first Saturday. Cut in straight passes so the stripes read as stripes. The grass goes into the bag behind the seat. The dash has a bag gauge. When it is full, empty it or sell it to Chiquito.

3. Get off for the edges

The mower does not fit against a fence, a flower bed, or Gómez the gnome. Press E, pick up the string trimmer, and use Throttle and Stop. Update 0.9.20 says the trimmer stopped walking through walls and trees. Don’t test that by aiming at Gómez. Elvira wants him intact.

4. Fuel, from either side

When the tank is dry, walk to the gas can. From 0.9.18 you can refuel from either side of the mower. You do not drive to a station.

5. Read the receipt

Elvira scores coverage, height, care, time, and a perfection number, then writes in the margin. One store screenshot shows perfection 94.0, coverage 100, height 100 at 5 cm, care 70, and a handwritten line about Gómez belonging to her mother. I am not turning those five labels into weights. Nobody has published “coverage is 40%.” On the receipt screen the prompts are N to start over, M for the menu, and T for a timelapse.

6. The toys are optional

The backyard also has a barbecue, a six-pack, fruit you can throw, the radio, and a dance. Update 0.9.22 adds Family Friendly Mode under Options, General: cigarettes become lollipops and beer becomes water, per player, and you can hide the HUD. None of that changes the cut. Cash still does not buy a faster mower.
