💎 Greenhouse Layout Strategy
The Greenhouse (unlocked by completing the Pantry bundle) is your end-game profit center.
- Option 1 (Best): All Ancient Fruit + Kegs. 550g/week per plant ×3 (Artisan) = 1650g/week.
- Option 2: Mixed — 10 Ancient Fruit + 8 Coffee + 4 Strawberry + 2 fruit trees.
- Sprinkler layout: 108 tillable tiles inside. Use 6 Quality Sprinklers or 3 Iridium Sprinklers.
🔥 Ultimate Goal: Greenhouse full of Ancient Fruit → all turned into Ancient Fruit Wine via Kegs → 2310g/bottle with Artisan perk. 78×2310 = 180,180g per harvest!
