Growth modifiers, planting date and location rules can change the timeline. This is not a profit calculation.
Farming level can increase the upper yield by floor(level × 0.1).
Extra harvest rolls repeat at 10% until a roll fails; the base range is not a hard maximum.

More conditions & notes (2)

Paddy crop: nearby water can water the crop and modify growth. Phase rounding and other bonuses still apply.
Needs watering, except where a specific mechanic supplies it.

Machine processing

Seed Maker: Unmilled Rice → Rice Shoot

Input: 1 × Unmilled Rice
Ordinary output: 1–3 × Rice Shoot
Processing time: 20 in-game minutes

Requires an eligible crop harvest; passing the general tag check alone is insufficient. Coffee Beans and Fiber are excluded by their banning tag.
Mutually exclusive branches: first draw below 0.5% gives 1 Ancient Seeds; otherwise a second draw below 2% gives 1–4 Mixed Seeds; otherwise gives 1–3 corresponding crop seeds. The second roll is conditional, not a flat 2% final chance.

Dwarf — Positive friendship gains require understanding Dwarvish. The taste itself is unchanged; access to the Dwarf’s area is separate.
Kent — Arrives in year 2; not present in year 1.
Krobus
Leo — Requires the host’s island introduction progress. Home changes after the host’s move-to-the-valley event; this is not a fixed daily schedule.
Sandy — Ordinary friendship/gifting requires the Oasis introduction event to have been seen by at least one player. Reaching the Desert also depends on your travel options.

Ordinary tastes describe base items. Quality, birthdays and other friendship modifiers are separate; special items use their own handlers. Gift guide →
