Daily Tips

   If you're one to feed your animals regularly, you may have noticed you're running short in feed supply. On your daily visits to other farms, make sure to harvest some carrots at Marie's to get a free 14 feed, otherwise I suggest using olives from the olive trees required to be bought in a quest since they feed 4 each and you can harvest quite a few daily. Similarly on other farms, if you need fertilizer by chance, make sure to fertilize some crops.

   If you're like me, and want to use your eggs in a higher profiting manner in recipes you may have considered recipes. Let's take a look at what they can be used in. Currently, there's only one intermediate ingredient that calls for eggs, and that's batter. Unfortunately, they can only be used in Orange Cupcakes and Apple Scones, whose ingredients are derived from fruit bearing trees. This means if you want to use more eggs in recipes, you'll need more trees.

   Let's say you have 2 apple trees from a previous quest, and 4 orange trees from a previous quest. You can approximate you can harvest the apples twice a day, and oranges once. You have a daily net of 12 apples and 12 oranges.

Apple Scone:
- 1 batter (1wheat,3eggs)
- 6 apples
- Daily yield of 2 scones = 1280g

Orange Cupcake:
- 1 batter (1wheat,3eggs)
- 1 orange icing (3 oranges 1 butter(2milk))
- Daily yield of 4 cupcakes = 3120g

Together, you can harvest a daily 4400g using egg based recipes.

In conclusion, trees are a great way for daily profiting if you need to sell eggs more efficiently.
Pros:
- No dedicated plotting space required
- Minimal effort
- XP is the same as cropping
Cons:
- Trees are dedicated resources

Egg value: 60g
Apple value: 18g
Orange value: 18g
Wheat value: 14g

Apple Scone raw: 14+(60*3)+(18*6)=302g
Apple Scone: 640g
Nets about 2.2x the value from the craft

Orange Cupcake raw: 14+(60*3)+(18*3)=248g
Orange Cupcake: 780g
Nets about 3.15x the value from the craft

The pattern seems to be that as you progress through the game, it becomes mandatory to craft to maintain a profit inflow.
