A simple and lightweight Crop Yield and Profit Calculator[docs.google.com].

Too many people messed around with my sheet and made it unusable for others.
To use the calculator now, you need to make a copy for yourself (logging in is required for this)

How to make a copy
• Open the Calculator[docs.google.com]
  
• Click on FIle in the top left
  
• Click on Make a copy
  
• Click Ok at the bottom right. Changing the name etc. is up to you.
  
  
• Alternative you can click here[docs.google.com] and click on Make a copy.

Translations
In the Main sheet, at the bottom right, you can choose your preferred language, via a dropdown list.

Available Languages:

• English
  
• German
  
• French

First you need to choose the Map you are playing on or select Custom to enter a own Field Size in Ha.
If you select a Map you need to enter the Field Number for the correct calculation.
Alternative you can select Custom and type your field size* in.
(Remember to use the correct decimal seperator, depends on your language setting.
Default is . for thousand seperator and , for decimal seperator)
Now you need to choose which crop you want to harvest under Crop Type

* A field size list from all 3 default maps are in the second sheet (FieldSizeList)
Those field sizes are taken from the giants editor and are rounded.
The more accurate your field size is, the better are the calculations.
Inaccurate decimal numbers can lead to a yield miscalculation
Example on the map Haut-Beyleron, Field 38.
From the Giants Editor its 1.15 Ha - Total Yield of 20,470.00 L Wheat.
Ingame size is 1.15 Ha - Total Yield of 20,470.00 L Wheat
Measured size is 1.1328 Ha - Total Yield of 20,163.84 L Wheat
Real Size is 1.143475 Ha - Total Yield of 20,353.86 L Wheat
(The real size can be seen in the savegame after sowing a field)

Here you can select which work you will need to do on your field.
Remember, you dont need to plow or lime every harvest.
On the right side you can see how much impact each step has on your Total Profit.

---

After setting all up, you can now see how much your harvest will Yield

Now change under Difficulty your Economic Difficulty for the correct price table.

Default Difficulties are
• New Farmer = Easy
  
• Farm Manager = Normal
  
• Starting from Scratch = Hard

Under Sell Price you can now choose,
what you would get if you sell it for the selected price.

• Avg. (average) price, defined by the game.
  
• 130% of the average price (good selling value)
  
• 150% of the average price (seems to be the maximum increase)

Right of it you see the Price per 1000 Liter and the Total Sales if you would sell it all to the designated price.

At the bottom of Seed and Spray costs you can see if you still make profit or not.

---

On the right side of the Main Tab you can see a Suggested Work Order to get the full bonus of 200% yield.

Here you can see your costs and the total profit.

---

Now you need to check if you used new Lime, did the first fertilizing stage with Oilseed Radish or used Herbicide instead of a Mechanical Weeder for your field.

---

If you sow Potatoes / Sugercane you can use stored Potatoes / Sugarcane from a another harvest and dont need to spend money on new Seeds.
The table will show the value of the stored Potatoes / Sugarcane if you would sell them for 130% instead.
You should check that before reusing Potatoes / Sugarcane.
Its not worth on all Difficulties.

---

Here you can see how much Seeds, Lime, Fertilizer and Herbicide you'll need and how much it costs you.
If you fertilize you need to choose which type of fertilizer you used.
(Solid, Liquid, Slurry, Manure or Digestate)
For Slurry and Manure you'll see, like for Potatoes and Sugarcane, how much money you could make if you would sell it for 130% instead.
For max profit, even on Hard difficulty you can just sell Slurry and Manure for the average price and buy solid or liquid fertilizer from the money.
Digestate cant be sold and is a by-product from using the Biogas plant.

---

At the bottom you can see you total costs for your field and the total profit.

Remember, as we learn more about this game, this guide get updates and some things will change.

This Guide is not only build up on informations from the Internet.
I tested nearly all equipment myself in perfect circumstances.
Heres my Crop Yield Test[docs.google.com] sheet.
Its still in testing and from day to day we learn more about the game mechanics.
