Make Smarter Farming Decisions with Side-by-Side Comparisons
Should you plant carrots or tomatoes? Pumpkins or watermelons? The answer isn't always obvious.
This comparison tool lets you see crops side-by-side so you can make data-driven decisions. Compare growth times, profit margins, XP efficiency, and more to find the perfect crop for your strategy.
How to Compare Crops Effectively
📊 Key Metrics to Compare
Growth Time
How long until harvest? Faster isn't always better - consider your playstyle.
Base Value
Selling price per crop. Higher value = more profit per harvest.
XP Reward
Experience gained per harvest. Important if you're trying to level up quickly.
Profit Per Minute
The MOST important metric. This tells you your actual earning rate.
🎯 Making the Decision
For Active Players
Choose crops with highest profit/min. You'll be harvesting constantly anyway.
For Casual Players
Pick slower crops with higher total value. Less micromanagement needed.
For XP Grinding
Focus on XP/min ratio. Value doesn't matter if you're just trying to level up.
For Profit Maximization
Compare profit/min AND consider mutation potential. Some crops have better rare variants.
Advanced Comparison Strategies
⚡ Speed vs Value
Fast crops = more harvests but lower value per harvest.
Slow crops = fewer harvests but higher value each time. Compare the profit/min to see which wins.
💰 ROI Analysis
Don't forget seed costs! A $100 crop with $10 seeds beats a $150 crop with $100 seeds.
Calculate: (Sell Price - Seed Cost) / Seed Cost = ROI%
🎲 Mutation Potential
Some crops have better mutation rates or more valuable mutations.
A crop with lower base value but high mutation potential can be more profitable long-term.
💡 Pro Comparison Tips
- Compare 3-5 crops at once to see the full spectrum of options
- Factor in your speed multipliers - they affect profit/min differently for each crop
- Consider multi-harvest crops separately - they save replanting time
- Look at rarity tiers - higher rarity often means better mutations
- Test different combinations based on your current bankroll and playstyle
Popular Crop Comparisons
🥕 Beginner Tier
Carrot vs Wheat
Both are fast and cheap. Carrots have slightly better profit/min, but wheat gives more XP.
Potato vs Tomato
Potatoes are faster, tomatoes are more valuable. For active farming, potatoes win.
Strawberry vs Blueberry
Strawberries have better ROI. Blueberries are multi-harvest which saves time.
👑 End-Game Tier
Pumpkin vs Watermelon
Watermelon has higher value but takes longer. Pumpkin has better profit/min for active players.
Dragon Fruit vs Star Fruit
Dragon fruit is the most valuable crop, but star fruit has better mutation rates.
Golden Crops vs Normal
Golden variants are always 5x more valuable. Hunt for these on high-value crops.
Plant Comparison FAQ
What's the best crop overall?
There's no single "best" crop. It depends on your playstyle, bankroll, and goals. Use this tool to find YOUR best crop.
Should I always plant the highest profit/min crop?
Not if you can't actively farm. A slower crop with lower profit/min but higher total value might be better for AFK farming.
How do I compare multi-harvest crops?
Factor in that you don't need to replant. A 3-harvest crop effectively saves you 2 planting cycles worth of time.
Do rarity tiers matter for comparison?
Yes! Higher rarity crops often have better mutation rates and more valuable rare variants. Consider long-term potential.
Can I compare more than 3 crops?
The tool shows 3 at once, but you can open multiple tabs to compare more. Or use the plant database for full stats.
How often should I re-evaluate my crop choices?
Every time you unlock new crops, get new tools/pets, or change your playstyle. Your optimal crop changes with your situation.
