Ground, Hydroponic

The cotton plant is a player-growable production crop with a moderate yield and slightly longer growing cycle. A mature cotton plant yields 10 cloth.

Growing

Cotton plants have a base growing time of 8 days, need a minimum soil fertility of 70%, and have a fertility sensitivity rating of 100%. 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
Real Grow Time (days)	21.1	14.77	10.55	5.28
Base Yield/day	0.47	0.68	0.95	1.9

Economy

First, be aware that the cotton plant's raw product is "cloth". There is no intermediary product or process, no bales of raw cotton which then need to be cleaned, spun, woven, etc. - in Rimworld, cloth comes off the plant ready for the tailor, sitting in big piles out in your cotton fields.

Cloth has a market value of 1.9 silver. The final product with the largest profit margin is a duster, having a 1.32% 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.
