The comparison, as recorded
- Tier 3 lumber mill: Cited as the top earning line in the creator's comparison. The judgment relies on the creator's spoken summary rather than published production tables. Pursuing it requires building an unverified industrial line whose machine costs and recipes were not read in the material.
- Berry farm: Ranked alongside lumber mills at roughly twice the revenue of onions. The advantage rests on berry bushes continuing to bear fruit without manual replanting. You must verify actual berry sale prices and harvester layout geometry yourself because machine blueprints were not read in the material.
- Onion farm: The most reliable middle option for expanding cash flow. Recorded data provides clear seed costs of 1,200 coins and raw onion sale values of 30 coins. The trade-off is a lower projected ceiling than late-game lumber claims.
- Veggie soup: Placed behind raw onions in recorded side-by-side testing. While soup sells for 206 coins, gathering the four onions, two carrots, and two tomatoes as raw crops yields higher coins per harvester cycle. You also sacrifice island space and fuel to run cookers and coal drills.
Lumber mill branch
The name tier 3 lumber mill is confirmed in video commentary, along with the spoken claim that it out-earns crop farms. However, machine prices, unlocking prerequisites, construction recipes, and hourly output figures were not read in the material.
If you want to investigate lumber mills, treat it as an unverified experimental project to explore in your own game session. For dependable coin generation, start with a proven onion farm or berry farm layout instead.
What you give up
| Production line | Documented setup costs | Unknown factors | Requires fuel drill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 3 lumber mill | Not read in the material | Machine costs, recipe components, hourly output | Not read |
| Berry farm | Not read in the material | Machine layout, harvester count, single berry price | Not read |
| Onion farm | 60 iron ingots, 15 slime gel, 16 gears, 12 spouts | Exact soil tile layout per harvester | No |
| Veggie soup | Cooking station, conveyors, and crop plots | Fuel consumption rate per bowl | Yes (coal drill) |
Your own numbers
A creator's recorded output reflects their specific island setup, not your active farm. Before redesigning your layout, evaluate whether you prefer selling raw crops or processing items like veggie soup based on your real harvest yields.
AFK and per-day claims
Videos promoting massive daily coin totals or AFK farming methods depend on specific machine stacks and leaving the game running unattended. This site does not present those numbers as guarantees. Verify your machine placements step by step, confirm that storage chests never fill, and expand only when current layers run without jamming.
