How It Works

This calculator compares two strategies:

Immediate Crafting: Use wild seeds directly to craft tea saplings now.
Plant First: Plant wild seeds, harvest forage, craft more wild seeds, and eventually craft more tea saplings.

The recommendation is based on comparing the value now versus the potential future value, accounting for growth time. If you're late in a season, immediate crafting may be better since you won't have enough time to grow and process the seeds.
