Capybaras VS Plants Controls & UI Guide

Capybaras VS Plants runs on Roblox across PC, mobile phones, and tablets with the same idle tycoon loop — but controls differ enough that new players waste their first session opening the wrong menu or missing the codes box. Scarlett the Dog Group kept the UI lightweight: walk your plot, open Shop, place eggs, assign capybaras, redeem codes. No aim-heavy combat, no chat commands for promos. This guide maps every control surface so you spend time earning Cash instead of hunting buttons.

If you have never played a Roblox tycoon before, read How to Play after this page for progression strategy. Controls get you comfortable; the how-to-play guide explains why each button matters economically.

PC controls (keyboard and mouse)

Roblox PC defaults apply unless you rebinding in Roblox settings:

Action	Default input
Move character	W A S D or click-to-move on ground
Jump	Space (rarely needed on flat plots)
Camera rotate	Hold right mouse button and drag
Camera zoom	Mouse scroll wheel
Interact / select	Left click on objects and UI buttons
Open Roblox menu	Esc

In-game UI on PC typically sits on a side or bottom bar:

• Shop — opens purchase panel for eggs, tools, and the codes box
• Inventory — eggs and items waiting for placement
• Plot tools — placement mode for eggs and structure interactions

Click an empty plot slot while holding an egg in inventory to place it. Click a hatched capybara, then click a battle lane marker to assign it to plant fights.

Mobile and tablet controls (touch)

Touch devices use Roblox mobile defaults:

Action	Default input
Move character	Virtual joystick (left side)
Camera	Swipe on empty screen area
Jump	Jump button (if shown)
Interact / select	Tap on objects and UI buttons

The Shop, inventory, and placement flows mirror PC — same buttons, larger touch targets. Tablet players get more screen space for plot overview; phone players may need to zoom camera out before placing eggs on rear slots.

Tip: Rotate device to landscape if UI feels cramped. Roblox supports both orientations on most phones.

Shop menu and codes UI

Every promo code redeems through Shop, not chat. Scarlett the Dog Group placed the codes box at the bottom of the Shop panel — scroll past egg listings until you see a text field labeled Codes.

Redemption steps:

1. Tap or click Shop
2. Scroll to the bottom
3. Tap the Codes input field
4. Type or paste the code exactly — capitalization matters for strings like 10KFAVS
5. Press Redeem
6. Watch for reward popup and check Cash total

Full walkthrough with screenshots context: How to Redeem Codes. Active codes list: Codes Hub.

If Redeem does nothing, rejoin a fresh server before assuming the code expired — see Code Troubleshooting.

Egg placement controls

Eggs move from inventory to plot through placement mode:

1. Open inventory after purchasing or redeeming an egg
2. Select the egg icon
3. Walk to an empty plot slot — highlighted or outlined when valid
4. Click or tap to confirm placement
5. Wait for timer bar above egg, or use Hatch Hammer from inventory

Rules that affect controls:

• One egg per slot — you cannot stack
• Invalid slots grey out or ignore taps
• Moving eggs mid-timer may reset progress — place carefully on first attempt

Hammer usage: select Hatch Hammer in inventory, then tap the incubating egg. Gilded Hammers work the same with larger timer reductions.

Deep hatch strategy: Hatch Eggs.

Assigning capybaras to battle lanes

Combat is automatic once capybaras reach plant waves. Your job is assignment:

1. Tap or click a hatched capybara on your plot
2. Tap or click a battle lane indicator — usually toward the plant spawn side
3. Confirm the capybara pathfinds toward plants

Multiple capybaras stack income. Empty lanes earn zero Cash online or offline.

To swap units: remove or replace lower-tier capybaras when better hatches arrive. Exact swap UI labels may say Assign, Equip, or drag-and-drop depending on patch — look for lane highlights when selecting a unit.

Tier guidance for who to assign: Capybara Tier List.

Plot navigation tips

Your plot is a personal instance within the shared lobby. Navigation goals:

• Walk the full perimeter once on first join to memorize slot locations
• Zoom out before bulk egg placement on large plots
• Locate the tree, fuse machine, and boss summon after Update 2 — usually plot edge structures
• Return to Shop via UI bar, not by respawning — respawn may waste active weather windows

Other players may visit your plot on some servers. Movement controls do not change; social presence does not block placement.

Fuse machine and boss UI (Update 2)

Update 2 added interactable structures beyond the basic plot:

Fuse Machine — walk up and press the interact prompt (click or tap). Opens fusion UI for selecting duplicate capybaras. Guide: Fuse Machine.

New Boss — summon or enter prompt near boss structure. Requires minimum army strength. Guide: Beat the Boss.

If interact prompts fail, rejoin the server — Update 2 hotfixes occasionally desync structure states.

Totem placement

Totems from codes like 10KFAVS and UPDATE2 place like eggs:

1. Open inventory
2. Select totem item
3. Tap valid plot tile — often central for aura coverage
4. Confirm placement; aura applies to nearby eggs and battle lanes

Relocate totems when you reorganize lanes for Offline Earnings — Wealth totem belongs near highest-income capybaras.

Accessibility and input issues

Small phone screens — use landscape, zoom camera out, place eggs on nearest slots first.

Mis-taps on crowded plots — zoom in before selecting hatch hammers; accidental hammer waste is common on mobile.

Controller support — Roblox supports gamepads on some platforms; mapping follows Roblox defaults with A/X confirm. Most tycoon players use touch or keyboard for Shop scrolling.

Keyboard on tablet — Bluetooth keyboards work with Roblox PC-style WASD if the tablet runs Roblox in desktop-compatible mode.

Controls versus game mechanics

Controls do not change idle math:

• Offline income still requires battle assignment before logout
• Codes still redeem only through Shop
• Weather still mutates units on plot regardless of input device

Platform choice affects comfort, not progression — mobile players with disciplined logout routines match PC income.

Quick reference checklist
