Some time after the player completes Fixing the Fence, a Panbat infestation takes over the Tree Farm, and Dawa and Aadit need the player's help to scare off the Panbats. Dawa mails a letter for help, requesting the player to report to the Tree Farm as soon as possible.
Hey there Builder Player, I'm sorry we have to bother you again, but there is a very serious Panbat infestation at the Tree Farm, please come as soon as possible.
Upon arriving to the Tree Farm:
So glad you came! We're at our wit's end here! I don't know why, but the panbats have been coming out of the swamp and into our Tree Farm since last month. Now they're flying all over the farm, preventing anyone from getting near.
We've tried everything already, fire, water, cotton candy, you name it, but they just won't go away! The Civil Corps came the other day and they're as clueless as us!
They have been sucking nutrients and poisoning our trees, look at them, the leaves are turning brown. You've gotta do something!
We actually talked with Higgins as well, but he's scared of the panbats, so we can only turn to you now.
Can you help us?
Sure.
I'm scared of the panbats as well.
→ Sure.
Oh thank you, thank you! But, how do you plan on solving this?
I think I'll go talk with the Research Center first. They might think of something.
→ I'm scared of the panbats as well.
I hope you change your mind soon, this Tree Farm is too important to the Portia economy!
Go to the Research Center[]
Upon arriving at the Research Center:
Something to stop a panbat infestation? Umm, I'm not sure. Director! Do you know anything that might stop a panbat?
Of course my dear, panbats are very sensitive to sound, if you make some sort of sound amplifier, you'll be able to scare those poor things away in no time.
Alright, so a boombox. Let's see, I can think of two designs: a very straightforward design, but the sound might be kind of noisy, but it'll be easy to make; or a more complicated design that will be able to play music. I don't know what the effect on the panbats will be, it's up to you.
Complicated it is. For that I think we'll need 5 Data Discs.
→ I want both.
You're the type that wants everything, huh? For that I think we'll need 8 Data Discs. Relationship +10
Note: crafting and placing the Loudspeaker will scare off all of the Panbats from the Tree Farm permanently, but placing the Boombox will instead make them non-hostile; they will roam around the farm peacefully and cannot be attacked from then on.
Collect Data Discs[]
Giving Petra the Data Disc:
You have them? Great! It'll take a while to analyze all the data, I'll contact you when we have something.
Wait for Diagram(s)[]
After waiting one day for the diagram(s), Petra mails the diagram(s) to the player. The player can begin crafting the tools.
The player is given either the diagram of their choosing (if only one diagram was chosen) or both diagrams (if the option for both was chosen).
Once the tool has been crafted, it must be delivered to the Tree Farm.
Upon arrival:
Will this actually work?
I'm afraid of using relics, the Church told us to use as little of them as possible. Bad things happen when they're used.
You're afraid of everything! We have no other choice, go ahead and try it.
The tool must be placed on the designated spot. After being placed, a short cutscene plays.
They actually left! I can't believe it! Here's your commission fee, you've earned it!
That actually worked! Wow! Maybe I'll order a couple from you in the future.
Now that the panbat issue has been resolved, we need to move quickly to heal our trees. The panbats took a lot of water and nutrients, we need a fast way of restoring them. We'll commission you for this job, can you help us?
I'll take it.
I'm not interested right now.
→ I'll take it.
Thanks! Petra mentioned she knew something about an irrigation system before, maybe you should chat with her.
→ I'm not interested right now.
That's too bad, we'll have to ask another Builder.
Post-conduct[]
After helping rid of the panbats at the Tree Farm, Aadit gives out another commission to restore the trees. Accepting his commission immediately commences Saving the Tree Farm.
Some characters have unique lines after the mission is completed:
I hope the Tree Farm opens soon, a lot of customers are asking about it.
I guess you can't solve everything with just fighting skills. Nice job with the Tree Farm.
I hope Dawa gets his Tree Farm in working order soon. I think it's really stressing him out. He seems skinnier.
I dropped by the Tree Farm to check out the Panbats the other day. They're so cute! Dangerous, but cute!
I'm glad the Panbat infestation is behind us, now we just need to make the trees healthy again. I foresee a big hole in my budget.
I'm glad your use of technology worked out in the end as far as the Panbats are concerned. But I still fear what other applications your creation could be used for.
I'm glad the Panbats are not longer a danger. Toby was about to run in there and be an idiot.
I feel for Dawa, I know how hard it is to run a business. You never know what type of obstacle might show up next.
Aww, I should have been there. From what I hear from Aadit, your machine worked wonderfully.
Hey, I'm glad you were able to make the Tree Farm safe again, without lethal force as well.
I've been investigating why the Panbats suddenly showed up in the Tree Farm. So far, I don't have any leads. It's like something spooked them out of the marsh. But there's nothing unusual in the marsh. It's weird.
I hope you didn't hurt these little Panbats. They normally feed on plants in the marsh that can resist their poison. What made them come all the way out to the Tree Farm?
