== Preserves Jar vs. Keg ==

== Preserves Jar vs. Keg ==

The [[Preserves Jar]] increases the profit of a crop using the following equation:  (2 × Base Crop Value + 50), while the Keg multiplies the base value of [[Fruits]] by 3, and most [[Vegetables]] by 2.25.  Because of this, low-value high-yield crops like [[Corn]] or [[tomato|Tomatoes]] are more valuable in the preserves jar.  The keg, on the other hand, favors crops with a much higher base value, such as [[Ancient Fruit]] or [[Melon]]s. The breakpoint is {{price|50}} for fruits and {{price|200}} for vegetables.

Below is a list of crops that are more beneficial to be put in the keg, along with their raw base price.  Boldfaced items have a base price above {{price|200}}.

It should be noted that these calculations only involve the value gained in terms of max profit; if looking at profit per day based on the time required, the preserves jar will outpace the keg regardless of the base value of the item (in ''every'' case except for Hops and Wheat) since the preserves jar has a much faster processing time.

==Storage Options==

==Storage Options==

Kegs can be stored in farm buildings.  

Kegs can be stored in farm buildings.  

A [[Shed]], optimally filled with kegs, holds 67 of them, while occupying only 21 tiles of land. An upgraded Big Shed, optimally filled, holds 137 kegs on the same land space. A [[Barn]], however, is cheaper, and holds 90 kegs on 28 tiles of land. The Deluxe Barn increases building costs considerably, but has so far been shown to be able to fit 136 kegs on the same land space as the initial Barn. [[Coop]]s are cheaper still, but smaller, permitting fewer kegs per tile of external farmland used. [[Cabin]]s are the cheapest initially, occupy the smallest land area of 15 tiles, but can only hold 42 kegs without upgrades, assuming the cabin is unclaimed and the parsnips and bed must remain. The first level of upgraded cabin can hold 113 kegs at a lower cost than any other option. While the second upgrade significantly raises costs, 352 kegs can be stored in a fully renovated cabin, allowing the largest number of kegs per external farmland used.

While the second upgrade significantly raises costs, 351 kegs can be stored, in version 1.6, new cabin renovations were added, and 586 kegs can be stored, allowing the largest number of kegs per external farmland used.
