Coral Island is a re-imagined farming and life sim that has you living your life on a gorgeous tropical island. For veterans Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon. you’re going to feel completely familiar with the mechanics of the game. To grow crops, raise livestock, make friends and revitalize a town.
OGs know however that the farming aspect of a farming sim is something that is going to be taking up most of your time and energy. And if you’re anything of a max profiteer like me you’re going to want to know how much bang you can get for your buck. On Coral Island, there’s a huge variety of crops that grow seasonally. They vary by seed cost, sale price as well as growth time. All that can be calculated into a handy dandy profit guide.
Of course, you’re going to want to grow a bit of everything for cooking etc. later on but if you’re interested in making the most money quick you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we’ve come up with the best crops you can grow in Spring, Summer and Fall.
Disclaimer: Coral Island was released on the 11th of October 2022 in Early Access. As such information in this guide is subject to changes and additions. We’ll be adding more to this guide as the game updates!
Coral Island doesn’t exactly hold your hand when it comes to teaching you the basics of farming. You get all your tools at the beginning of the game and are left to fend for yourself. If you haven’t played any farming sims before don’t worry we got you. It’s just a few simple steps to get your farm started.
As you progress later on in the game you’ll be able to unlock better tools and equipment that will make this job more manageable. Including some sprinklers that will water the crops for you. But until you get there just rinse and repeat this step to get your farm growing.
They are about 75 different crops that you can grow on Coral Island. There are three planting seasons – Spring, Summer and Fall that only certain crops can grow in. If they are grown in the season they are not supposed to be planted, they will wither. Over time, there is an option of building a greenhouse that will let you plant any crop regardless of the season.
Get seeds from Sam’s General Store in town, he will sell seasonal seeds and change it when the seasons change. You can also gather wild/random seeds from foraging and clearing brush with your sickle.
When I first started farms sims back in the Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town I would plant the crop that yielded me the most profit. That would be the Crop Sale Price minus Seed Price. Now that I’m older I calculate the return on investment per day of the crop. There are only 28 days in a month so if you just focus on growing Cauliflower you will only get a few harvests in the month.
So actually in reality the best is to have a wider variety of crops that payout every day if not every few days. Unless you’re comparing crops such as Potatoes and Carrots that have the same growth time. Then just use the simple profit method.
Just remember to calculate when is the best time to stop growing. Such as the end of the month don’t plant a Cucumber that will need 9 days if you don’t have those days left in the season. You’ll be better off planting Turnips.
Coral Island is a vibrant and laid-back reimagining of farm sim games. Be who you want and create the idyllic farm of your dreams, where you’ll tend crops, nurture animals, and build a bond with the natural world around you. Help revitalize the nearby town and its surrounding coral reefs, and forge relationships with a vibrant community of more than 70 fellow people who call Coral Island home.
Coral Island is currently out on Early Access on PC – Steam and Xbox Game Pass.
