The cotton plant is a player-growable production crop with a moderate yield, and slightly longer growing cycle. A mature cotton plant yields 13 cloth.
Growing
Cotton plants have a base growing time of 8 days, need a minimum soil fertility of 50%, and have a fertility sensitivity rating of 70%. The following table details how long it takes for cotton plants to grow in each growable ground type, factoring in the plant resting time and being in ideal growing conditions:
| Ground Type | Gravel | Soil | Rich Soil | Hydroponics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fertility (%) | 70 | 100 | 140 | 230 |
| Grow Time (days) | 17.49 | 13.82 | 10.8 | 7.23 |
| Base Yield/day[1] | 0.74 | 0.94 | 1.2 | 1.8 |
- ↑ Per plant
Cotton has roughly 5.16x the yield per day of devilstrand in gravel; 4.57x the yield per day in soil; and 4.18x the yield per day in rich soil. This is due to cotton's lower fertility sensitivity compared to devilstrand.
Food Production
Cotton plants don't yield any human-edible products.
Economy
The cotton plant's raw product is cloth, which has a market value of 1.9 silver. The refined product with the largest profit margin is a duster, having a 1.32%[1] profit margin. The following table details silver per day, per plant. It only factors in the 50% selling markdown, the market value of the products, and the yield per day:
| Ground Type | Gravel | Soil | Rich Soil | Hydroponics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raw | 0.71 | 0.89 | 1.14 | 1.71 |
| Refined | 0.72 | 0.91 | 1.16 | 1.73 |
Normal quality cloth dusters are actually profitable when compared to devilstrand dusters. This is because cloth dusters have a higher work:ingredient value ratio compared to devilstrand dusters; a larger market value gain relative to the total value of the ingredients.
