MODEL EXAMPLE · PLANNER 3.0.16

The decision

How much does watering change the sustained output of four Wheat plots? This isolates the grow timer. It is not a claim that you can leave the game unattended for 24 hours and collect the projected total.

Inputs and evidence

The current model has 4 Farmland plots at RV 1. Each Wheat harvest yields 5 items, takes 240 seconds before watering, and sells for 1 Home Coin per item. Wheat’s modeled seed cost is zero. Two waterings each remove one eighth of the full timer, making the effective timer 180 seconds.

In-game Wheat recipe evidence — The existing in-game image shows a unit price of 1, a yield of 5, a four-minute timer and 140 food energy. The imported record flags the price as checked; that flag is not expanded here to imply every field was newly tested. View this item’s field-level status.

Do the arithmetic

Unwatered items/hour = 4 plots × 5 items × 3,600 ÷ 240 seconds = 300
Watered items/hour = 4 × 5 × 3,600 ÷ 180 = 400

Scenario	Effective grow timer	Items / hour	Home Coins / hour	24-hour model projection
Unwatered	240 seconds	300	300	7,200
Two waterings	180 seconds	400	400	9,600

Removing 25% of the timer increases timer-limited throughput by one third: 1 ÷ 0.75 = 1.333…. It is not the same as increasing the yield by 25%. The watered projection is 9,600 Home Coins over 24 continuously productive hours.

Reproduce it in the planner

Open the planner and select RV 1.
Select Simple Setup, Coins and a 24-hour duration. Leave event production and premium recipes off.
Press Calculate My Best Plan. With the current default RV 1 model, compare the Wheat card’s four watered plots and the 400 coins/hour result.
If the output differs, check that an earlier Custom Setup or imported profile has not changed the inputs.

The live default result was checked in the browser on 21 October 2026 with build 3.0.16. The unwatered comparison is arithmetic from the same input record, not a separately observed gameplay result.

What the calculation leaves out

This is a sustained timer calculation. Planting, harvesting, missed watering, travel, storage limits and time away from the game can reduce real output. Higher-RV plans also need to budget staffing and food. The RV 1 default describes manual tending; do not read the zero assigned Aniimo count as evidence that growing is automatic.
