Preserve Jar Vs. Keg

The Preserves Jar increases the profit of a crop using the following equation: (2 × Base Crop Value + 50), while the Keg multiplies the base value of Fruits by 3, and most Vegetables by 2.25. Because of this, low-value high-yield crops like Corn or Tomatoes are more valuable in the preserves jar. The keg, on the other hand, favors crops with a much higher base value, such as Ancient Fruit or Melons.

Below is a list of crops that are more beneficial to be put in the keg, along with their raw base price. Boldfaced items have a base price above data-sort-value="200">200g.

Fruits	Vegetables
Ancient Fruit (550g) Apple (100g) Cactus Fruit (75g) Cherry (80g) Coconut (100g) Cranberry (75g) Crystal Fruit (150g) Grape (80g) Melon (250g) Orange (100g) Peach (140g) Pomegranate (140g) Rhubarb (220g) Spice Berry (80g) Starfruit (750g) Strawberry (120g) Wild Plum (80g)	Pumpkin (320g) Red Cabbage (260g) Hops (25g, but Pale Ale sells for 300g) Wheat (25g, but Beer sells for 200g)

It should be noted that these calculations only involve the value gained in terms of max profit; if looking at profit per day based on the time required, it is always more beneficial to use a preserves jar, on the highest value item possible (2 days to multiply value by 2×).

Storage Options

Many people use farm buildings to store kegs. The Deluxe Barn can fit 136 accessible kegs while only taking up 28 spaces on the actual farm.

• Optimal Deluxe Barn layout provides 136 Kegs

Notes

^[1] Processing time calculates differently while sleeping than while awake. 1 hour = 60 minutes when awake but = 100 minutes when sleeping. So if you sleep a whole day, the machine would process 2400 minutes (100 × 24). If you work from 6:00AM till 12:00AM and sleep 6 hours, the machine will process 1680 minutes a day (60 × 18 + 100 × 6). If you work from 6:00AM till 2:00AM and faint 4 hours, the machine will process 1600 mins a day (60 × 20 + 100 × 4).
