It gives the tiller profession prices but says that their not relevant?

Fixed. The infobox was automatically assuming that any crop will have Tiller bonus. --BryghtShadow (talk) 11:31, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

What does the tip mean?

I can not understand what the tip about the seed maker is trying to say and how it's creating Rare Seeds at a cost of up to 2250. How is money being lost putting the fruit in the seed maker unless you hit that 2.5% chance that you don't get the seeds back? Is there any way this tip could be made clearer?

The user who added that tip hasn't been active since October of 2017... but I'll see what I can do to make it clearer. First I have to try to understand it myself.  :D margotbean (talk) 18:07, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Update: I've made some changes, but feel free to ask more questions or rewrite the tip if you wish. I'm putting it in your hands now.  ;) margotbean (talk) 18:30, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

If you have a regular-quality Sweet Gem Berry, you can sell it for 3000g. If you use it to make seeds, then you are spending that 3000g on the seeds. Likewise with a gold quality SGB, except that is 4500g. The point is that making seeds is a choice of how to use the asset, and that choice has a well-determined price. If you're seeking profit, you'll likely want to measure what your choice will bring you later, as opposed to what you have in hand right now. Butterbur (talk) 17:11, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

The cost estimate of 2250 per seed assumes you use one gold quality Sweet Gem(sell value 4500) and receive two seeds. Maximum actual cost is 4500 for one seed, worst case scenario. Best case would be three seeds for 3000. The author of the tip is using good math, but is discounting potential earnings. The tip doesn't take "opportunity cost" into account. Because a farmer is free to choose which Sweet Gems to turn into seeds, and which to sell, a volume quantity production estimate puts the value of mass Sweet Gem Production at roughly 3570 per plot per season, long term average(assuming it's grown year round in the greenhouse). The only other fruit that comes close is Ancient Fruit, at roughly 2124 per plot per season. It should be noted that Ancient Fruit also carries the advantage of being able to be harvested infinitely from a single plant grown in the greenhouse, without any labor beyond harvest every 7 days. Reaching a full greenhouse of 119 plants would take only 80 days with Agriculturist and the best fertilizer(a one time cost in the greenhouse). J.Bird (talk) 06:08, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Iridium Quality

Iridium quality sells for 6000. I don't really know how the info box works, so I don't know how to add this information.--Rayram (talk) 15:24, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
