Crop Profit Guide
A practical guide to comparing crop profit without relying on one stale value number.
How crop profit fits your garden
Crop profit is a loop calculation: sell value multiplied by quantity and boosts, minus costs, divided by the time needed to repeat the cycle.
Start with base values, then add boosts one at a time. When a scenario depends on a pet, event, or mutation, label it clearly and check whether it applies to the crop being measured.
