Most profitable crops for Seed Maker
Ranked by Profit/Day (PPD). Assumptions: 10★ crops over 28 days, processing enabled.

How this ranking is calculated
- Assumptions: 10★ crops over a 28-day window.
- We rank by Profit/Day (PPD): (total processed value − costs) ÷ window days.
- If your maker availability is limited (few machines), results can shift—use the calculator for your exact setup.
Tip: If you have limited machines, maker capacity can become the real bottleneck. Rankings assume you can process continuously.
