Crop profit

What to line up

Compare a crop from the seed price, the days until the first harvest, the regrowth wait, how many items one harvest drops, and the base sell price. Professions and fertilizer change the result. The figures below leave them out unless a line says otherwise.

Tiller, the level 5 farming choice, makes crops worth 10% more. The bonus covers vegetables, flowers, and fruit you grew. It does not cover foraged fruit, and it does not cover Sweet Gem Berry. Artisan, the level 10 choice on the Tiller path, makes artisan goods worth 40% more. Oil is the exception called out on the profession: it does not get that 40%. Agriculturist, the other level 10 choice, makes crops grow 10% faster and does not change prices.

Three worked examples

Cranberries, Fall 1, Pierre's 240g seed, watered that day. Five harvests, on days 8, 13, 18, 23, and 28. Two berries times 75g is 150g a harvest. Growing days are 7 plus 4 times 5, which is 27. (5 times 150, minus 240) divided by 27 is about 18.89g a day. No extras, no quality, no Tiller.

Sweet Gem Berry, Fall 1, 1,000g Rare Seed. One harvest on Fall 25. (3,000 minus 1,000) divided by 24 is about 83.33g a day. Nothing processes the berry after that.

Ancient Fruit from a free crafted seed, planted Spring 1 and kept through Fall. Maturity is 28 days and there are 7 waits of 7 days after the first fruit, so growing days are 77 and harvests are 8. 8 times 550g is 4,400g. Divided by 77, that is about 57.14g a day for the raw fruit. Each of those fruits can still become a 1,650g bottle of wine, or 2,310g with Artisan.

Starfruit wine is 2,250g a bottle before Artisan and 3,150g with it, from a fruit that does not regrow. Ancient Fruit wine is less per bottle and the plant keeps going. Hops regrow every day, and one keg needs 2,250 minutes per Pale Ale, so the keg is the limit, not the trellis.

Machine rules

Wine is any fruit, 3 times the base fruit price, 10,000 minutes in a keg. Juice is a vegetable, or a positive-energy forage that is not a mushroom, at 2.25 times the base price, 6,000 minutes. Pale Ale is hops, 300g, 2,250 minutes. Coffee is 5 beans from one stack, 150g, 120 minutes. Beer is one wheat, 200g, about 1,750 minutes.

Jelly is any fruit, twice the base price plus 50g. Pickles are a vegetable, a mushroom other than Red Mushroom, or positive-energy forage, with the same price rule. Both take 4,000 minutes. The star on the ingredient does not change the finished good.

Keg and jar processing uses a 1,600-minute day in the time notes: 1,200 minutes of daytime and 400 minutes of night, because each hour from 2am to 6am counts as 100 minutes. That is why 10,000 minutes is 6.25 days and 6,000 minutes is 4 days.
