Stardew Valley Crop Planner

A tool for planning crop schedules in the Stardew Valley game.

Reddit thread


New in v2

  • Multiple year planning
  • Import/export plans
  • Import existing plans from the old v1 planner
  • (only works if old plans are on the same browser)
  • Greenhouse plans separated from outdoor Farm plans
  • Improved planner design
  • Slightly improved responsive design for mobile devices
  • Crop info and Settings moved to pop-out sidebar
  • Improved Crop Info panel
  • More settings
  • More seasonal statistics
  • A few keyboard shortcuts:
  • Left/Right arrows = navigate seasons
  • ESC = open/close sidebar (opens to crop info)
  • ~ (tilde) = toggle between outdoor farm/greenhouse

I'll be leaving v1 of the planner up for anyone who's interested in accessing it, though I won't be updating it any further so it will only ever be up to date with Stardew Valley v1.07.


Crop Info

Crop info is stored in config.json. This data is retrieved from game files in [install dir]/Content/Data/, specifically Crops.xnb and ObjectInformation.xnb. I use XNBNode by Draivin to decompress these files and parse them with a Python script to save into the config.json file.


Development Utilities

If you are interested in contributing to the Crop Planner, I have included some Python utility scripts that I use in my development workflow. These are located in ./utils/, and require Python 3 to run. Each script has its own dependencies:

  • update-config.py - Updates crop data in config.json using data from decompiled game files
  • Dependencies:
  • Stardew Valley
  • XNBNode
  • xcompress32.dll (proprietary dll required by XNBNode, place in XNBNode folder)
  • watch-less.py - Watches style.less for changes and recompiles CSS using Less CSS
  • Dependencies:
  • less (Less CSS)
  • less-plugin-clean-css (for minifying the resulting CSS)
  • Install with npm

Item Prices

All items have a base price which the game uses to calculate the sell price (when you ship items) and buy price (when you buy items from stores) of that item. Buy price is simply Base Price * 2.

The calculation for sell price of an item (without added Profession bonuses) is below. The Quality of an item is used numerically as a multiplier: 0 for regular; 1 for silver; 2 for gold.

(int) Sell Price = Base Price * (1 + (Quality * 0.25))

Note: some items have sell/buy prices that deviate from the above formulas. These prices are likely hard-coded into the game.


Profit-per-day

Crop profits-per-day are calculated using the minimum sell price of a crop.
Profit per day: ((Total Yields * Sells For) - (Seed Price * Total Plantings)) / (Final Harvest Date - 1)

Example 1 - Parsnip
Parsnips take 4 days to grow after the day they are planted. In Spring, they can be planted 6 times and yield a total of 6 Parsnips, assuming replanting occurs on the same day of harvesting. The last harvest occurs on Day 25. Seeds cost 20g, and Parsnips sell for a minimum of 35g.

((6 * 35g) - (20g * 6)) / (25 - 1)
90g / 24
= 3.75g/day

Example 2 - Corn
Corn takes 14 days to grow after the day it is planted. In Spring and Fall, it is planted once and can yield a total of 11 Corn. The last harvest occurs on Day 55. Seeds cost 150g, and Corn sells for a minimum of 50g.

((11 * 50g) - (150g * 1)) / (55 - 1)
400g / 54
= 7.4g/day
