Crop Comparison
| Crop | Growth Time | Yield | Sell Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 1.5 min | 4-6 | 3 | Quick bulk supply |
| Tomato | 2 min | 3-5 | 5 | Mid-profit recipes |
| Lemon | 3 min | 2-4 | 7 | Drink Machine supply |
Animal Comparison
| Animal | Growth Time | Product | Interval | Sell Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken | 5 min | Eggs | Every 2 min | 10 |
| Cow | 8 min | Milk | Every 3 min | 15 |
Best Crop Rotation
For maximum profit, use this rotation:
- Plant Rice (fastest crop, always in demand)
- Plant Tomatoes (needed for Pizza, your best recipe)
- Plant Lemons (for Drink Machine — passive income)
- Repeat
Animals vs Crops
- Crops: Faster turnaround, more hands-on. Best for active play.
- Animals: Slower but passive — they produce while you do other things. Best for AFK/offline.
Profit Calculation
Growing your own ingredients for a Pizza:
- Tomato: free (farmed) → saves 5 per pizza
- Dough: ingredient cost depends on your supply chain (see recipe data)
- Cheese: from Cow milk → saves 10 per pizza
⚠️ The exact dough source and per-ingredient savings are still being verified. Treat the totals below as estimates.
Estimated total saved per Pizza: ~20. At 10 pizzas per minute with 2 chefs, that’s 200 saved per minute — or 12,000 per hour.
Tips
- Always keep your farm plots full
- Harvest before logging off for maximum yield
- Prioritize ingredients for your most profitable recipe
