1. The Basics of Profit
In Garden Horizons, your profit is determined by a comprehensive formula:
- Base: Each crop type has a different starting value
- Weight²: Weight is squared, so heavier crops sell for significantly more
- Ripeness: Unripe=1x, Ripened=2x, Lush=3x
- Variant: None=1x, Silver=2x, Gold=5x
- Mutation: Multiple mutations stack using (sum - count + 1)
2. Understanding the Weight System
Weight is the most impactful factor in determining your crop's value. The formula squares the weight ratio:
⚖️ Why Weight Matters
A crop with 2x base weight will sell for 4x more! This makes weight optimization crucial for maximum profits.
🌱 Maximizing Weight
- Use premium fertilizers to boost weight gain
- Allow crops to fully mature before harvesting
- Optimize growing conditions (soil quality, water, sunlight)
- Some crop varieties naturally grow heavier
💡 Pro Tip
Focus on weight optimization for medium-value crops. A fully optimized crop can beat average higher-value crops!
3. Leveraging Mutations
Mutations use a special stacking formula that rewards combining multiple mutations:
Example: Giant(1.5) + Golden(2.0) = 1.5 + 2.0 - 2 + 1 = 2.5x
🎯 Stacking Strategy
The best strategy is to stack mutations on your highest-value crops. Combining multiple mutations can result in massive profits!
4. Ripeness & Variants
🌱 Ripeness
✨ Variants
💎 Maximum Bonus
A Lush (3x) Gold variant (5x) crop can sell for 15x base value before weight and mutations!
