Short answer
How Do You Choose a Route When Grow a Garden Feels Different After Updates?
Choose a Grow a Garden route after updates by checking which assumption changed, testing the old route once, and switching only the crop, pet, reward plan, or timing layer that now fails.
This is the fastest direct answer for readers who want the result first and the longer route logic second.
When the game feels different after updates, isolate the changed assumption before replacing the whole route.

Not ideal when
You need a one-number answer more than a route explanation
A recent patch already changed the assumptions and you have not checked updates yet
Your real question is about pet fit or route math, not editorial guidance
Name what actually changed
A route can feel different after an update for several reasons. Crop value may have moved, support pets may feel weaker, event rewards may compete with normal farming, or code rewards may change what you can afford. Do not treat all of those as the same problem. The route decision gets easier when you name the assumption that changed first.
Keep one old baseline
Testing the old route once gives you a comparison point. If the route still farms safely but earns less, the crop layer may need review. If the crop loop works but comfort is gone, pet support may be the issue. If nothing feels current, update reading should come before tools.
A baseline keeps post-update route changes from becoming guesswork.
Switch the smallest layer that failed
Most post-update mistakes happen when players rebuild crops, pets, mutations, and spending together. That makes the next session unreadable. If one layer failed, change that layer first and keep the rest stable.
Use tools after reading the update context
Tool output can look exact while using old assumptions. If the update touched the route comparison, read the update page first, then use tools for a narrow choice.
