| Method | Inputs | Output | Sell Value | Gain vs Raw | Machine Time | Gain/Day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sell raw | 1 × Banana | Banana | 150g | 0g | None | N/A |
| Keg | 1 × Banana | Wine | 450g | 300g | 7 days | 42.9g/day |
| Preserves Jar | 1 × Banana | Jelly | 350g | 200g | 3 days | 66.7g/day |
Use total value when
You have enough machines and want maximum gold per input batch, especially for premium Wine, Juice, Oil, or Caviar.
Use gain/day when
Your Kegs or Jars are the bottleneck and faster processing keeps your farm cash flow moving.
