Stardew Crop Profits

A tool to calculate and visualise the profitability of crops in Stardew Valley

Open application →

What's accounted for

• The current in-game date
• The ratio of gold:silver:regular quality crops, as determined by farming level and fertilizer used
• The 'Tiller' and 'Agriculturist' professions
• The growth speed of a crop, as determined by fertilizer and 'Agriculturist' profession
• Which shops the player chooses to buy from, and the cost of seeds only from the players chosen shops
• The minimum yield for each crop, and the chance for extra crops when harvesting
• Whether the player buys seeds, or uses the Seed Maker
• Whether seeds are planted on the farm or in the greenhouse

What's NOT accounted for

• The cost of fertilizer, including how long it remains for
• Selling harvested produce as Artisan Goods, by using Kegs, Preserves Jars and Casks
• Daily luck levels
• Giant crops

The calculations

Different calculations are used depending on which 'Show profit as' option is chosen: minimum profit, or average profit.

Minimum profit

This is the absolute minimum profit possible to be made, assuming that no quality crops are harvested, and only the minimum yield for each crop is harvested (no extra crops):

( Harvests ✖️ Yield ✖️ Sell price ) ➖ Seed price

This calculation is identical to that on the Stardew Valley Wiki.

Average profit

( Harvests ✖️ ( Yield ➕ Chance for extra crops ) ✖️ ( ( Normal quality sell price ✖️ Chance for normal quality ) ➕ ( Silver quality sell price ✖️ Chance for silver quality ) ➕ ( Gold quality sell price ✖️ Chance for gold quality ) ) ) ➖ Seed price

Development

Requirements

• Node.js >= 11.9.0
• npm >= 6.9.0
• gulp-cli >= 2.0.1

This project has only been tested with the above requirements, but there is a good chance that it will work with earlier versions

Setup

1. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/polarstoat/stardew-crop-profits.git

2. Change into the new folder

   cd stardew-crop-profits/

3. Install dependencies

   npm install

Usage

1. Run the default gulp task (an alias for the serve task) for development to watch files in the app/ folder and live reload/inject changes with Browsersync

   gulp

2. Run the serve:dist task to preview a full build before deploying

   gulp serve:dist

3. Run the deploy task to publish to GitHub Pages

   gulp deploy

File	Purpose
.tmp/	A temporary folder automatically created during development with the serve gulp task. Contains compiled Sass and JavaScript
app/	Source code of the application. The contents of this folder are compiled and minified by gulp, and then copied to dist/
dist/	Compiled and minified, distribution code. The contents of this folder are pushed to GitHub Pages. As this contains entirely 'built' code, this folder is ignored by Git
.eslintrc.js	Configuration for the ESLint JS linter
.gitignore	Specifies what files Git should ignore (documentation)
LICENSE.md	License information about the project
README.md	Information about the project
gulpfile.js	Tasks to be run by gulp for automating Sass compilation, JS minification, GitHub Pages deployment, etc.
package-lock.json	Automatically generated by npm to manage the node_modules/ tree (documentation)
package.json	Manages project dependencies (documentation)
stardew-crop-profits.sublime-project	Project file for Sublime Text (documentation)
