Contribution Points Guide (WIP)
By Emlin
Making a guide for myself that I thought I'd share. I wanted to know what was worth growing each month and what process to use to gain the most contribution points per month would be. So far I just have a list for the basic items themselves but I will be adding more information when time allows it.

Keep in mind that if an item can regrow, it has an initial growth time that I haven't listed yet!

Overview
To save myself a lot of time and hassle, all of the crops here are calculated by their basic wild version. Some judgement is required when deciding how to process higher quality items as results may vary (obviously you'll get more contribution points for higher quality items).

All information is gathered from the Roots of Pacha wiki and calculated by me.

Ahh gotcha. No worries I love looking at these guides because the 1 million contribution achievement is such a pain. The new update does add a lot of crops and trees. It's a good update
Emlin  [author] 30 Apr @ 7:07am 
Essentially, with the guide being a wip (work in progress), I just didn't manage to get to the rest before things came up and I ended up moving on.

I was also unsure if they guide was even helpful to others and I've yet to return to Roots of Pacha to finish the rest of the information.

how come you arent pickling anyting? I usually turn my cheapest veg like tomatoes into wine then vinegar. Throw that into the pickler with your high value veg or fish and that seems to make the most contributions
