What is most profitable crop for greenhouse except ancient fruit?

[witlucket]

Does starfruits and sweet gem berries continue to growing after harvest? Is there any options better than them? I unlocked greenhouse new and i randomly planted crops until now so i dont have much idea about them

[witlucket]

and and and what about put bee house with fairy rose into greenhouse? is it worth

[Alextasha]

I just put blueberries and sell everything with +quality, base is going for jam. Multiple harvest, pretty quick, easy money. Not sure if it's the most profitable xD cuz I never calculate this (I'm pretty new player)

haha its me but im starting to think for calculate

Starfruit and Sweet Gem Berries have to be reseeded after each harvest.

[iaregamertom]

Ancient fruit are technically the best providing you ave used seedmakers to max out the greenhouse, although starfuits sell for more, you have to keep buying seeds whereas ancient fruit last forever in the greenhouse so no seed cost, this is what give them a slight edge, but either are good.
After these two, I would probably say coffee or tea are good.

As for Fairy rose and honey, I have not tested but I would guess its not going to be as profitable as ancient fruit or starfruit especially if you are going to turn them into wine

Here is a link that will help you as it breaks all down all crops by profit per day based on skills feriliser etc.

Before someone points it out, yes Sweetgem berries give the most profit but of course you cannot really have a good source of seeds, you couldnt buy enough from the cart and if you were to attempt to somehow get, grow, and use 120 sweetgem berries in the seedmaker every harvest, it would probably not be worth the effort

thanks a lot! that text is very helpful i will apply your methods

Hops and Peach/Pomegranate trees are more profitable than Ancient Fruit within the Greenhouse, but require daily upkeep while Ancient Fruit is weekly. This assumes you brew everything in a keg, which if you care about profits is something you should be doing anyway.

Low effort, one day workweek but still raking in around a million per season is just plain ancient fruit. If you want to boost your profits over and above that, you're going to need to do more micromanaging.

Assuming Artisan perk (because if we care about profits, it's pretty much the only option for your Farming perk), Ancient Fruit Wine sells for 2,310g/ea. Given that it is a week to grow/process, you're looking at that 2,310g as your weekly revenue per plant. You'll need one keg per ancient fruit to keep up with your kegging. That comes out to 330g/day/crop.

Hops is brewed into Pale Ale. With the Artisan perk, that sells for 420g/ea. Given that Hops produces *daily*, assuming you have the two to three kegs per Hops to keep up with production, that gives a daily yield of... well, 420g/day/crop.

Peach/Pomegranate also produces daily. If you turn it into Preserves, it sells for (again, assuming Artisan) 462g. Which means it has a daily profit of 462g/day/crop. You'll need 2-3 preserves jars per tree, and you can fit 30 trees in your greenhouse. Technically, you can brew it into wine for a profit of 588g/ea, however that increases your infrastructure requirements from around 60-90 preserves jars all the way up to 210 kegs.

Keep in mind that fruit trees won't grow if things are next to them, so if you do wish to incorporate fruit trees into your strategy, you'll need to plant them first and let them mature before planting around them.

@Shneekey - I hadn't thought of planting fruit trees given that each tree takes up 3x3 grid until maturity (which is about a month game-time), and only producing a single fruit each day. But I can see the merit in the idea, especially if you plant a crop around them that doesn't have a trellis.

I cask and age all my ancient fruit wine - and even though that takes a lot longer and needs a lot more infrastructure to support, I'm raking in 500-600k weekly. Using Automate to manage production is the key and maximizes the number of casks I can fit into one space. I basically check on my casks once per week.

Aging isn't going to really do much. Sure, it's more than not aging, but honestly you want as little ancient fruit as possible. My typical setup is 30 ancient fruit, 30 trees, and the rest is Hops. That way, I can age at least half of my ancient wine to iridium star or perhaps age everything to gold-star quality. But I can bring down a million and a half a season without aging using trees, hops, and ancient fruit infill.

I usually put strawberries when I need a quick boost in cash, they grow fast and are fairly profitable, especially when you plant about 6 of them, you get a lot out of that, it's a sustainable option unlike star fruit etc.

[Maya-Neko]

Pretty much depends:

For spring: Strawberries (or rhubarb, if you've not get enough strawberry seeds)
For summer: Hops
For fall: cranberries (sweet gem berry is technically worth more on paper, but practically you need to turn half your gem berrries into seeds again for the next season, so it's rather a prestige project than being profitable^^)
Winter: winter seeds
greenhouse: hops (though very labour intensive, since it's ready every day), mathematically it's btw still worth more to plant 96 hops and 20 ancient fruits than 116 ancient fruits (even if you pave the ways inbetween the hops it's still slightly worth more than the ancient fruits^^)

Obviously, if you don't want to harvest daily, then starfruit instead of hops is the way to go. It might look like it's way to expensive, but its income is still so high, that it's the 3rd most lucrative crop, as long as you can make wine out of it (if you want to sell it raw from the greenhouse, then pineapple is better though)

[iaregamertom]

I think it important to mention that as stated above, yes if you put the work in daily then you can beat ancient fruit for profir but not when it comes to iridium ancient fruit/star fruit wine, but that takes a long time before you start making regular serious money.
The upside of ancient fruit is if timed perfectly, you harvest, keg, and collect from casks, its very low maintenance and only requires a half day work a week, this is why I and others dont go hops/fruit etc method as its labour intensive, I prefer a passive income and leave my time almost all free for other things, it does depend on playstyle.
The good thing about this game is that there are quite a few viable options around similar profit margins, and after a while maximising profit becomes less important, this is why you will eventually likely want something as low work as possible, unless you really want to squeeze every penny out of everyday anyway

You've to keep 2 things in mind:

1. you can only put 125 casks into it (or 189 if you fill the whole cellar). That said, you only need 16 ancient fruit (or 24) to keep up with the wine aging process. And when you put 96 hops into the green house, you've still 20 spaces left for ancient fruit, so no real need to decide between those 2 when it comes to min-maxing.

2. the profit of aging wine is abysmally bad compared to kegs. It takes 56 days to double the value of normal quality wine. for starfruit wine (btw this is worth more than ancient fruit due to starfruits base value being better) you get like only 40 g/day increase out of the aged wine per tile taken. Just placing down kegs instead of casks however allows you to get 214 g/day from starfruit and 137.5 g/day from hops (though starfruit takes 16 times more space than hops to keep the same amount of kegs filled at all times, but obviously takes like 16 times less effort at the same time^^).

The obvious advantage of casks are their low maintenance, but moneywise they're not really strong, especially that late in the game. It's just funny how high you can get your numbers at that point^^
