Living Large on the Farm

Best Crops on Large Farms in Tiny Monsters

Good old Wacky Packs.
And my dad said they were a
waste of money.
Cram time - today we are going to finally finish up Farms in Tiny Monsters and look at Large Farms. However, we'll tackle best Food relative to Harvest and Time in one post, rather than keep all 6 of you reading this in suspense for another day. As with the previous posts on Farm optimization, the best Food choices for the following Large Farms will be in red. Lets start off with Harvest versus Cost:

Food (Large Farm) Cost Harvest % H/C
Heartichokes 30 10 33%
Toadshrooms 60 70 117% !!!
Egg-Plants 270 120 44%
Golden Guavas 750 310 41%
Lucky Lettuce 1,470 490 33%
Royal Radish 4,350 845 19%

In this case, it's not even close. Toadshrooms are the clear standout choice of Food ROI, hands down. Now, lets keep up the pace and check out Time versus Harvest:

Food (Large Farm) Time* Harvest Ratio H:T
Heartichokes 0.75 10 13.33
Toadshrooms 15 70 4.67 !!!
Egg-Plants 120 120 1.00
Golden Guavas 360 310 0.86
Lucky Lettuce 720 490 0.68
Royal Radish 2,160 845 0.39

*Units of Time in minutes.

Much like Cloudberries and Bluff Broccoli in Small Farms, while Heartichokes is miles ahead of Toadshrooms in theory on paper, from a practical perspective, the time to plant plant and re-plant has such a quick turn-around (45 seconds), that Toadshrooms are the more reasonable, best choice in reality. Yet Toadshrooms still offer a huge advantage over the rest of the Food types, again with the exception of Heartichokes.

I know I promised XP rewards for Food, and I will get to that in a subsequent post, but at the moment, I'm probably just as sick about writing about Farm 'n Food production as you are of reading about it. So stay tuned for that tidbit of information.
