See how a crop’s weight changes its Sheckle value — the weight ratio is squared, so heavy crops are worth far more than they look.
What this calculator does
Weight is the most misjudged part of a Grow a Garden trade. This calculator isolates it: enter a crop’s base value, its base weight, and the actual weight of your crop, and it returns the value from weight alone — before any mutation is applied.
Use it when you’re comparing two of the same crop at different weights, or deciding whether a heavy unmutated crop beats a light mutated one. For the full picture with mutations stacked in, use the main Grow a Garden calculator.
How to use it
- Enter the base value from the crop’s shop entry.
- Enter the base weight the crop normally drops at.
- Enter your crop’s actual weight to see its value.
The formula
A worked example
The calculator opens with a base value of 18 Sheckles at 0.24 kg. At 0.48 kg — exactly double — the crop is worth 72 Sheckles: the ratio is 2, and 2² = 4. At triple weight the same crop would be 162, because 3² = 9. That squaring is why a visibly heavy crop can quietly out-value a shinier, lighter one. Change any field and every figure updates as you type.
Weight in trades
When someone offers a heavy crop, run its weight through here before judging the trade by mutation alone — then take both crops to the trade calculator for a win/fair/lose verdict. And as always: game numbers move with updates, so confirm base values in the in-game shop. This is an independent, fan-made tool.
