I'm now 100% certain that the point of origin is the top-left. Why? Because then it looks like this:

??????-??????-??????
??????-??????-oonand
midnig-htifyo-??????
??????-rrensf-acenew
lifewi-??????-??????

Do you see the 2nd and 3rd rows? That part of the message could be NOON AND MIDNIGHT. 8)
Adding my code,it should be
??????-??????-forone
??????-??????-oonand
midnig-htifyo-??????
itonba-rrensf-acenew
lifewi-??????-??????

According to line four,seem that this secret will happen in barrens.We need to find 1 1,2 1,1 2,2 2,3 3,2 5 and 3 5.

The problem is"Where can we find the item."

I've been pondering for a bit about what we have so far and I've reached the following conclusion.

"oon and midnight" is likely "noon and midnight." It would make sense since both times are at 12:00. Plus, it would give purpose to the "for one" which comes earlier, where "for one" could refer to an amount of time during which something happens. A minute seems the most likely, since a second is too short and an hour is too long. I'm guessing this minute occurs at both "noon and midnight" as the message possibly suggests (I'd imagine this time is based off of system time on your computer).

During this minute, something important might happen. Getting the item we're supposed to use somewhere on Barren seems to be the most reasonable explanation. Where it happens, though, I don't know. My first guess would be at the blue flower dude's place at the Wonderland Academy. Unless MS plans on making a WA4 (which I doubt) it would be weird to just leave the whole blue flower deal hanging like that. The weirdness has been built up throughout the entire trilogy anyway.

I'm probably wrong with this theory, but I'm sure everything will become clear with a few more message pieces.

You guys I DID post my code. It made the message be "midnight if you plant" so, I knew about the Blue Flower slightly before you.

it was in size zero, didn't tyteen or yot yot SEE it

I got the '3 1 FORONE' part, but it seems I've been a bit late.

PotZ is a great game, and I was quite surprised there were no Crabs nor BabyBoomers used. Now I cannot wait for the Editor.

Yeah, one of the pics on the update thread showed wee stinkers and baby boomers working together on barren. :|

Well, MS did say that he had to cut out Acts 2 and 3 from the plot.

That's news to me as well, actually. I recall asking MS about why Lava/Kaboom!s/other MoFI elements didn't appear in PoTZ, and his answer was along the lines of "so MoFI has its own unique features as well".

MS in the planet views crowdsource:
Midnight Synergy wrote:Ok, all done with this!

Unfortunately, my grand plans didn't work out as well as I thought they would... I had planned to use these planets for three different "parts" of the game, and in the end only one worked out. There is a slight (slight) chance that I might go crazy and give the 2nd "part" (the 3rd is definitely out).
Actually now that I look at the post again, I think he was talking about you being able to see the planet views three times.

Uh, disregard all these posts. All of them.

These remain MOFI only (so each game has its unique features)

I hope this doesn't mean we won't get them with WA3 Editor...

They're still programmed in WA3, so it's safe to say that we will.

A flower grows for one minute every noon and midnight. If you plant it on Barren's face, new life will start there.
