Crop Value Calculator Guide
Learn how to use the Grow A Garden 2 calculator for crop value ranges, mutations, freshness, stock multipliers, friend boost, and basket planning.
Why Use the Calculator
- The calculator helps estimate whether a harvest is worth selling now or saving for a better window.
- It is most useful when a crop has weight, mutation, freshness, stock, amount, friend boost, or Double or Nothing changes.
- Treat results as estimates and compare them with live sell stand values whenever possible.
Inputs That Matter
- Choose the crop first, then set weight, amount, mutation, fruit price stock, freshness, friend boost, and Double or Nothing multiplier.
- Small input changes can create a large value range when mutations or freshness loss are involved.
- Use exact values when you have them and conservative values when you are unsure.
Understanding Value Ranges
- A range is better than one fixed number when freshness loss, stock price, or uncertain weight behavior can vary.
- The low end helps you avoid overestimating, while the high end shows what the same crop might be worth under better conditions.
- If an in-game result sits outside the range, record the details so the model can be improved.
Mutation and Boost Planning
- Mutations multiply base value, so they should be entered before deciding whether to sell.
- Friend boost and Double or Nothing can change the total sharply, especially on already-valuable crops.
- Do not gamble valuable harvests without understanding the risk.
Basket and Comparison Tools
- Use the basket when you want to total several harvests before selling.
- Crop comparison helps reveal which crops perform better under the same weight and multiplier assumptions.
- Mutation comparison is useful when you are deciding which event window matters most.
Calculator Inputs
