Which Banana Farm path is the most efficient?

[KimmyJ726]

Anyone know which banana farm path I should go if I want to make the most money per round? Thanks!

Bank.

[Hassel]

bank are the best but it needs to be managed by hand.

for the other 2 farm, the 4.2.0 is the best but will alos need to be collected by hand or by use of a banana farmer

the 0.2.3 (gived the same amount as a 3.2.0)

4.2.0 give 500 more bananas per wave compared to 0.2.4 but it also cost abit more

Basically, if you can get a farmer, and get one, get farms. Main on top, and also put middle for more cash. If you don't have a farmer, or don't want to buy one, get a marketplace (If you are using 003/004/005 buccaneer spam, it's a very good choice.) or a bank, and if you have benjamin, make sure to get banks. Get top path on either marketplace or bank too.

230
203

This is true. However, as you go higher tier upgrades, top path farm outclass bottom path.

Whatever farm you do end up getting, get it as early as you can, as the money you earn through bloons is halved after round 50 and gets cut further the more rounds that go by. By round 101 you only get 2% of the normal cash amount from pops.

EDIT: I always go banks as I like the hands free aspect of them and Ben helps out how efficient banks are.

If you are using 003/004/005 buccaneers, it's good to get the bottom path of the farms. As central market buffs them, making them give 10% more cash per round. It's a good combo.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that marketplace with valuable bananas gives more than a marketplace with even greater production per round

Try build both at same time i can guarantee you the 204 gives more than 024 does
even with the skill tree upgrade there gives more value to the bananas

023 farm yields more by a very small margin than 203 farm. However, it becomes more significant as bottom tier gets higher.

The top path banana farm is supposed to give more money per round because it requires more maintenance while the bank and marketplace usually give less money because they require less maintenance.

This is actually proven wrong by this post:

Getting Valuable bananas gives less per round, but gives more per harvest. However, even greater production makes more money per round thanks to it giving the money faster, and being able to produce more money per round. I don't think this is counting the MK, More Valuable Bananas, but it does show that getting top path is not only cheaper, but you'll get more money out of it. I'll test it again with the knowledge once I get it though.

My info is most likely outdated. This is what I found on the wikia.

"As of version 18.0, there is no favorable crosspath for the tower without Monkey Knowledge. Both crosspaths will result in $400 generated per round at the same cost ($1100 on Medium). If Monkey Knowledge is enabled, then crosspathing with the mid-path upgrades is recommended, as the marketplace will generate an additional $16 per round.
Prior to this update, it was always recommended to crosspath with the top path, as there was no overall benefit from crosspathing with the mid-path."
