Goodgame Big Farm Crops Profit Guide

Goodgame Big Farm Crops Profit Guide by Knaves2

So I sat down and did the math, and (assuming I did it right), if you're looking for straight profit from your crops, here's how it breaks down. These numbers are based off a farm with a -42% running costs, and standard fields, so your mileage may vary.

Wildflowers sell for $1 per unit. You grow 15 at a time, and they cost nothing to plant.
They take 2 minutes to grow. So 15 X $1, -0, times 30 harvests per hour = $450 per hour.

Corn sells for $6 per unit. You grow 15 at a time, and they cost $52 to plant. They take 5 minutes to grow. So 15 X $6, - $52, times 12 harvest per hour = $456 per hour.

Cabbage sells for $5 per unit. You grow 40 at a time, and they cost $129 to plant. They take 45 minutes to grow. 40 X $5, - $129, times 1.33 harvest per hour = $95 per hour.

Wheat sells for $30 per unit. You grow 40 at a time, and they cost a whopping $746 to plant. They take 6 hours to grow. 40 X $30, -$746, times 0.167 harvest per hour = $76 per hour.

Again, this is a) assuming I ran the numbers right (feel free to correct if you see something wrong), and b) that you're only taking into consideration the sell value of the crops. Once you use those crops to make feed, and turn that into eggs, pigs, or milk, all bets are off.

Hope I did that right, and I'm not leading you astray!

If anybody wants to run these numbers with higher level fields, just to see how things change, I think that'd be pretty neat. I don't expect Wildflowers or Corn to change much, but Cabbages and Wheat should be totally different.


My thanks to Knaves for starting this off. I have taken his figures and reworked them using 0 comfort to give a minimum profit. If anyone makes less than this then you need more comfort. More comfort equals more profit! Further I have worked out for all levels of fields and production sheds

FIELDS
Wild Flowers ($1) 2min/crop = 30 crops/hour

L3    49 x 5 = 245 - 150 = $95 x 1.33 = $126
L4    50 x 5 = 250 - 150 = $100 x 1.33 = $133
L5    59 x 5 = 295 - 150 = $145 x 1.33 = $172.9

Wheat ($30) 6 hour crop
Cost $1,000

L1    40 x 30 = 1200 - 1000 = $200 / 6 = $33.33
L2    65 x 30 = 1815 - 1000 = $815 / 6 = $135.83
L3    70 x 30 = 2100 - 1000 = $1100 / 6 = $183.33
L4    90 x 30 = 2700 - 1000 = $1700 / 6 = $283.33
L5    95 x 30 = 2850 - 1000 = $1850 / 6 = $308.33

Apples ($44)

L1    124 x 3 = 372 - 170 = $202 x 4.6 = $ 932.3
L2    133 x 3 = 399 - 170 = $239 x 4.6 = $1099.4

L4    156 x 3 = 468 - 170 = $298 x 4.6 = $1370.8
L5    166 x 3 = 498 - 170 = $328 x 4.6 = $1508.8

Pigs ($5) 1 hr 10 mins / shed = .857 / hour
Costs:- 2 cabbage = $160> feed = $87>production=$149. Total $396
profit
L1    130 x 5 = 650 - 396 = $254
L2    140 x 5 = 700 - 396 = $304

Cows => Milk ($25) 7 hours / shed

Profit    profit/hr
L1    230 x 25 = 5750 - 4789 = $ 961 / 7 = $137

L4    320 x 25 = 8000 - 4789 = $3211 / 7 = $459
L5    345 x 25 = 8625 - 4789 = $3836 / 7 = $548

Comfort plays a big role in reducing you costs, the more you have the cheaper
things become and more profit. The water tower reduces the amount of feed and manure required by 10% up to 50% (i.e. L1 -L5)
I hope this helps to answer the questions relating to money and profit.
Happy Farming
