The following table details how long it takes for cotton plants to grow in each growable ground type, factoring in the plant resting time and being in ideal growing conditions:
Ground Type | Gravel | Soil | Rich Soil | Hydroponics |
---|---|---|---|---|
Fertility (%) | 70 | 100 | 140 | 280 |
Grow Time (days) | 17.49 | 13.82 | 10.8 | 7.23 |
Base Yield/day[1] | 0.74 | 0.94 | 1.2 | 1.8 |

Economy
The cotton plant's raw product is cloth, which has a market value of 1.9 silver. The refined product with the largest profit margin is a duster, having a 1.32%[1] profit margin. The following table details silver per day, per plant. It only factors in the 50% selling markdown, the market value of the products, and the yield per day:
Ground Type | Gravel | Soil | Rich Soil | Hydroponics |
---|---|---|---|---|
Raw | 0.71 | 0.89 | 1.14 | 1.71 |
Refined | 0.72 | 0.91 | 1.16 | 1.73 |
Normal quality cloth dusters are actually profitable when compared to devilstrand dusters. This is because cloth dusters have a higher work:ingredient value ratio compared to devilstrand dusters; a larger market value gain relative to the total value of the ingredients.
