What should I produce while I am away? This builds a short queue from a reviewed early-game goods list.
Included: wheat, corn, soybean, sugarcane, carrot, bread, milk, cream, brown sugar, popcorn, butter and eggs. Feed recipes, corn bread and later goods are not included.
Gross is the extra goods in your barn at the end, times the wiki max roadside price for one unit.
Net subtracts goods you have fewer of, at that same max price. A crop you grow and then cook is not sold, and it is not charged twice.
A batch that would still be running when you return is not started, and it is not counted.
This assumes the roadside shop buys the extra goods at the max price. It does not promise buyers, and many players sell for less.
The queue is a ranking by coins or XP per minute. It is not the best possible plan.
You do not collect or restart machines while you are away. The plan starts what fits at the beginning, then uses goods that finish earlier in the same plan.
Example: farm level 2, 10 minutes away, 2 bakery slots and 9 wheat, using only the barn. That finishes 3 bread. Gross 63 coins, ingredient cost 27, net 36, XP 9.
