Final Value = Base Value ร Weight ร Mutation Multiplier ร Friend Boost
Let's break this down with an example:
| Component | Example Value | Calculation | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Value | $150 (Sunflower) | Starting point | Fixed per plant type |
| Weight | 5.2 kg | Random growth factor | 1-10 kg typically |
| Mutations | ร2.5 (2 mutations) | Multiplier effect | Stackable bonuses |
| Friend Boost | ร1.5 | Social bonus | Up to 70 friends |
| Final Value | $1,950 | 150 ร 5.2 ร 2.5 ร 1.5 | Total profit |
Step 3: Setting Up Your Calculation

Advanced Mutation Strategies
Understanding Mutation Multipliers
Mutations are the game-changing feature that can multiply your plant values exponentially. The calculator includes all available mutations with their exact multipliers:
Common Mutations (1.1x-1.5x)
Great for beginners - easy to obtain with decent bonuses
Rare Mutations (1.6x-2.5x)
Significant boosts - requires more effort but worth it
Legendary Mutations (2.6x-5x)
Game-changers - massive multipliers for expert players
Mutation Selection Strategy
Maximum Multiplier Approach:
The calculator's "Max Mutations" button automatically selects the 5 highest multiplier mutations for your plant. This is perfect when you're focused purely on profit maximization.
Balanced Approach:
Manually select mutations based on availability and your current resources. Some high-multiplier mutations might be harder to obtain than their slightly lower counterparts.
Pro Tip: Always check the total multiplier display to see the combined effect of your selected mutations. Even small improvements can mean thousands of dollars in additional profit!
Profit Calculation Mastery
Beyond Basic Value: The Profit Calculator
While knowing your plant's value is important, understanding your actual profit is crucial for business decisions. The Profit Calculator tab helps you analyze:
text
Net Profit = (Plant Value ร Quantity) - Total Costs
Cost Analysis Components
