Basic Information
The eggplant is a renewable crop you can plant during fall. Eggplants sell for a substantial amount of gold, and they regrow quickly. You can use eggplants as a gift, or use it as an ingredient to cook many recipes.
Shipping 100 eggplants is a requirement to unlock spinach seeds, a special crop that only grows during fall.
Season: Fall
Days to Mature: 9 days
Renewable Crop: Yes (Regrows in 3 days)
Where to buy Seeds: Supermarket
Maximum Harvests Per Season: 8 times, assuming you plant at least on the third day of the season.
Tip: Watering your crops once a day is very important! Seeds and crops stop growing if you don’t water it for a day. Renewable crops will also not regrow if you forget to water them.
Profit
You only need to buy seeds for renewable crops once. We will subtract the seed cost from the total profit per season to know our actual profit.
| Max Profit Formation (3×3) | Optimized U-Shape Formation | |
| Seed Cost | 120G | 120G |
| Earnings per Crop | 80G | 80G |
| Total Profit per Seed Bag | 720G | 640G |
| Profit per Day | 188G | 171G |
| Profit per Season | 5640G | 5120G |
Note: Total Profit per Seed Bag = ((Earnings per Crop x Number of Seeds Planted) – Seed Cost))
Max Profit Formation (3×3) vs Optimized U-Shape Formation
The best way to plant crops is the U-Shape Formation. This method of planting crops ensures that no seed goes to waste since you can water and harvest them all. This is the optimal way of planting renewable crops.
The 3×3 formation is the best in terms of profit. You should only use the 3×3 square formation if you have an upgraded watering can, as you won’t be able to reach the crop at the center of the square without it. It’s also wise to use the 3×3 formation when planting non-renewable crops.
Gifting
The crops you grow on your farm make excellent gifts to the townspeople. You can increase its effect on the townspeople’s affection by wrapping it in wrapping paper at the Supermarket before gifting it to them.
