Official, community-sourced, guide-sourced, estimated, and manually tracked values are labeled separately. Do not treat community values or estimates as official game constants.
What the crop formula includes
The calculator starts with the selected crop table value, then multiplies it by weight and quantity. That keeps the estimate tied to the same crop data used across the site instead of a separate hidden formula.
Primary mutation is modeled as one choice: no primary mutation, Gold, or Rainbow. Extra weather and event mutations are modeled as a summed multiplier because the current planning model treats them as stackable inputs.
- Base value comes from the source-labeled crop data in this site.
- Gold and Rainbow are mutually exclusive primary mutation choices.
- Wet, Chilled, Drenched, Frozen, Cooked, Molten, and Shocked are extra mutation inputs.
- Friends nearby and bargaining are bonus multipliers, not separate base values.
How to read the result
A high estimate means the harvest is worth timing, not that it is safe to leave exposed. Large single-harvest crops and premium mutated rows should be checked against defense cost before you wait for another event window.
A low estimate can still be useful when the crop is multi-harvest. Multi-output crops can compound across resets, while single-harvest crops rely more on weight, mutation timing, and safe selling windows.
- Use the value result to decide whether a weather window is worth waiting for.
- Compare very high estimates with the defense planner before staying offline.
- Use the wiki when you need the source label behind a crop or mutation entry.
Common estimate mistakes
The most common mistake is adding every visible bonus without checking whether the input belongs in the primary mutation slot, the extra mutation set, or the bonus fields. Another mistake is treating estimated values as official constants after an update.
When a value looks too high, reset the model and add one input at a time. That makes it easier to spot a wrong weight, a repeated mutation, or an aggressive bargaining assumption.
Live telemetry is not connected yet, so use the output as a transparent planning estimate and re-check important values after game updates.
When to sell instead of holding
Sell sooner when the crop is exposed, the server is active, or the mutation window is close to ending. Hold longer when the crop row is protected and another high-value weather event is likely to improve the estimate.
If the crop estimate is large enough to change your next seed or guild decision, route the result into defense planning before you leave the plot unattended.
FAQ
Common Questions
What is the best use for the Grow a Garden 2 crop value calculator?
Use it before selling or holding a harvest. It helps compare crop weight, quantity, primary mutation, extra weather mutations, friend bonus, and bargaining bonus in one estimate.
Does the calculator use official Grow a Garden 2 values?
It uses source-labeled site data and transparent planning math. Some crop values are confirmed and some are estimated, so the result should not be treated as an official game constant.
Can Gold and Rainbow be selected together?
No. The model treats Gold and Rainbow as mutually exclusive primary mutations. Extra weather or event mutations are selected separately.
Why are extra mutations summed in this calculator?
The current planning model sums extra mutation multipliers so players can compare weather and event windows quickly. Re-check high-value assumptions after updates.
When should I use the defense planner with this result?
Use the defense planner when the estimated crop value is high enough that leaving it exposed overnight or during a public-server night cycle would change your risk decision.
