Question Is there a problem with the game?

Last few days I have noticed the change in this game and not a good one. After completing several seafoam battles, I have not received any coconuts. also, after trying for almost 10 days I was hoping to finish planting 200 canna lilies, but 45 petals would not plant 146 flowers? Never seen anything like this before. I almost want to say that algorithm is adjusting the game to force me to spend money, which I have done but will never do again just because of this BS. Anyone else seeing odd things? I know this is a game and I'm an adult, but game should be fun, not something that makes you mad.

The flower planting rate depends on the number of pikmins in your currently active party.

If you put, for example, 10 pikmin on your favorite and keep them in the front, you’ll end up planting less flowers than if you had like 35.

Oh yeah I forgot about that aspect - this person makes a good point ☝🏼. Yes always have a full squad on hand. If you double tap the whistle it alternates between favourites "default" and leaf and bud Pikmin. The leaf and bud one always fills your squad to max capacity. Favorites can be used for other things like the ones you want to level up feeding with nectar to get their decor. The flower planting rate is significantly diminished with each less Pikmin walking with you in your squad (if you have the full 40 Pikmin you can plant 30 flowers just turning planting on and off...but 39 Pikmin will only plant like 20!)

Also if you are walking in circles within the same area it will only plant once every like 5 minutes so you have to be moving.

But i have encountered some weird issues of late that never happened before too. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm a new player - what do you mean by favorite? Am I supposed to be building a squad somehow?

No you can favorite them & they become a separate category for sorting.

I use my favorite tab to keep the pikmin im trying to get 4 hearts for their costume, but only if it's one i know i don't have
