Cotton
Seasons: Autumn • Category: Fiber • Base sell (Normal): 40. Primary source of fiber for late-game tailoring.
Use this page when you search “Cotton profit”, “Cotton regrow”, or “Cotton processing worth it”. It combines raw crop data with baseline economics (Knowledge 2, 28 days). For your exact setup, tune inputs in the calculator.
Decision summary (baseline)
Short, explicit answers for common searches: profit/day, processing worth, and seed-to-sell margin.
- ✔ Profit/day (Knowledge 2, 28d window): -1.73.
- ✔ Seed-to-sell spread (Normal): -20 (40 sell − 60 seed). This is not quality-adjusted.
- ✔ Best processing under baseline: Weave → Cotton Cloth (Loom), +21.35 Δ/day vs raw.
Harvest schedule (quick answer)
This answers queries like “how many harvests can I get in 28 days” and makes profit/day math transparent.
Single-harvest crop (1 harvest when mature).
Baseline economics
Baseline uses Knowledge 2 and window 28 days. Processing values inherit quality from the input crop.
Processing delta (baseline)
| Method | Product | Station | Δ Profit | Δ / day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weave | Cotton Cloth | Loom | 42.70 | 21.35 |
Δ/day compares processing vs selling raw (expected value). Negative values mean processing is worse under baseline.
Comparable alternatives (baseline ranking)
Answers comparison searches like “what’s better than Cotton” or “best Autumn crops”. Rankings use Knowledge 2 and a 28-day window with your quality + processing model.
