Star Fruit vs Ancient Fruit Profit Generator

What is this?

This tool compares the profits between

  • a Star Fruit farm, where seeds are replanted after every plant bears fruit,
  • and an Ancient Fruit farm, where we start with a single Ancient Fruit seed and use the Seed Maker to create an Ancient Fruit farm with the same number of plants as the Star Fruit farm.

We assume the player always has enough kegs to turn every fruit into wine. We assume the player ages all wine into iridium-quality wine with a cask unless every cask is occupied, in which case the wine is sold immediately.

The number of plants in your farm. For Star Fruit, this is the number of plants growing at any given time. For Ancient Fruit, we start with a single Ancient Seed. Every fruit born will be provided to the seed maker to create more Ancient Fruit plants until the given number of plants is reached. After this point, all Ancient Fruits will then be made into wine.
The number of casks in the cellar. Note that it is physically impossible to have more than 189 casks in a single cellar.
The number of days to compute profits. This will determine the range of the x-axis in the plot.
Number of simulations to perform for Ancient Fruit. Since the results from the seed maker are random, there will be variation in the number of days it takes to turn one seed into a full Ancient Fruit farm. The results shown in the plot for Ancient Fruit will be the average profits accumulated up to that day.
Profession:
The Artisan profession increases wine profits by 40%. The Agricultural profession increases the rate at which crops grow by 10%. Note that the Agricultural profession only increases the rate at which Ancient Fruit grow before they bear their first fruit. All reharvested Ancient Fruit grow at their ordinary rate even with the Agricultural profession.
Fertilizer:
Deluxe Speed Gro and Hyper Speed Gro increase the rate at which crops grow by 25% and 33%, respectively. Note that fertilizers only increase the rate at which Ancient Fruit grow before they bear their first fruit. All reharvested Ancient Fruit grow at their ordinary rate even with fertilizer.
