⚠️ Warning: Do not sell Rice raw! Processing it at 10-star quality yields a massive bonus of +71.64G per day. Always run it through a Maker.
Maker processing guide
If a Maker route beats raw selling, we highlight it here. Otherwise we tell you to skip Makers.
Maker Processing Guide
To achieve the highest Profit/Day, you should process Rice using the following Makers. Base output values are shown at 1-star quality.
💡 How we calculate True Profit/Day
Unlike simple spreadsheets, our Pioneers of Olive Town calculator simulates the entire growth and processing lifecycle to give you actionable data. Here is how the math works:
- Quality Multiplier (1★ - 10★): We apply a scaling multiplier to the base shipping price. Reaching 10-star quality through the Seed Maker roughly doubles the raw selling price of crops.
- Harvest Yields: Crops like Potatoes or Cucumbers yield multiple units per harvest. We multiply the best unit price by the total yield.
- Maker Processing: If "Include Processing" is enabled, the calculator scans all known Maker recipes (Jam Maker, Powder Maker, Condiment Maker) for that crop and automatically selects the route with the highest gross margin per unit.
- Formula:
((Highest Price per Unit × Yield per Harvest × Total Harvests in Window) - Total Seed Cost) ÷ Window Days
Note: Processing times for Makers are not deducted from the Window Days, as players can run multiple Makers concurrently in the background while crops continue to grow.
