๐Ÿ† Best Crops Guide

Regrow crops are king โ€” first growth then every 3 days, they produce all season and far outperform single-harvest crops per seed. Pair them with cooking value-adds and the Seed Maker to snowball.

๐ŸŒธ Spring

Peas5 days3 days135tโญ Best regrow โ€” the season mainstay.
Cabbage9 daysโ€”180tHighest single-harvest price.
Strawberry5 days3 days125tRegrow alternative.
Carrot6 daysโ€”80tMid-tier single harvest.
Potato5 daysโ€”75tMid-tier single harvest.
Turnip4 daysโ€”40tCheap opener.

๐Ÿ’ก Spring opener: run Turnip early, then swap to Peas the moment it unlocks.

โ˜€๏ธ Summer

CropGrowthRegrowPriceRole
Tea5 days3 days135t (Green Tea 145t)โญ Best โ€” brew into Green Tea for +10t and a recipe bonus.
Watermelon9 daysโ€”180tHighest single-harvest (~12t/day net).
Corn5 days3 days125t โ†’ Grilled Corn 135tRegrow + cooking value-add.

Tomatosame as Cornโ€”125tWorse than Corn (no single-material recipe).
Chili Pepperโ€”โ€”75t~6t/day.
Cucumberโ€”โ€”โ€”Cheap opener.

๐Ÿ’ก Siliconera: Corn beats Tomato (same price and growth, but Corn makes Grilled Corn). Tea seeds only sell after the General Store is repaired.

๐Ÿ‚ Fall

Rice9 days3 days150tโญ One of the most profitable crops in the game (fuels Roasted Rice Tea).
Onion5 days3 days135tBest regrow alternative (short cycle).

Pumpkin9 daysโ€”180tHighest single-harvest.
Wheat9 days3 days150tRegrow; high seasonal total (~600t/season per GameRant).
Broccoli6 daysโ€”75tMid-tier.

๐Ÿ’ก Fall is the most profitable season โ€” Rice + Wheat dual regrow at 150t, plus cross-season Tea fuels Roasted Rice Tea.

โ„๏ธ Winter

๐Ÿ’ก Winter has few crop choices โ€” Snow Peas is the economic pillar of the season.

Ultimate Recipe: Roasted Rice Tea

Rice (Fall regrow) + Tea (Summer regrow) โ†’ Roasted Rice Tea. โ†’ Roasted Rice Tea (350t each (260t net per 4 cups โ€” crushes Jasmine Tea 60t and Lemon Tea 160t). The most profitable recipe in the game. each)

๐Ÿ’ก Must self-grow the Rice and Tea โ€” buying from Balor's cart loses money. Cross-season stockpile (Tea in Summer, Rice in Fall) and combine; years 1โ€“2 are a slow start while you sell raw ingredients to recoup. The Large Greenhouse (~100,000t) breaks this open by letting you grow Rice + Tea simultaneously. (1.0 may rebalance โ€” pending.)

Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Don't buy Rice or Tea from Balor to make Roasted Rice Tea โ€” it loses money. You must self-grow both.
  • Tomato is worse than Corn โ€” same growth time and price, but only Corn has the Grilled Corn value-add.
  • Sweet Potato / Yam is the worst crop (~3.75t/day) โ€” only plant to fill gaps.
  • Check remaining days at season's end vs. growth time โ€” if a crop won't mature in time, switch to a fast crop (Beet or Turnip, 4 days).
  • Don't plant too big before auto-watering โ€” without a Water Sprite Statue, watering eats your entire day.
