| Preserves Jars consume less time than [[Keg]]s, but will usually yield less profit. However, low-value, high-yield crops like [[blackberry|Blackberries]], [[Green Bean]]s and [[Corn]] are actually more profitable in the preserves jar than in the keg, as well as being much faster to process. As an example, corn [[juice]], which is made in the keg, is worth {{price|113}}, but corn pickles, which are made in the preserves jar, are worth {{price|150}}. Salmonberry wine, which is made in the keg, is only worth {{price|15}}, but Salmonberry jelly, which is made in the preserves jar, is worth {{price|60}}. | | Preserves Jars consume less time than [[Keg]]s, but will usually yield less profit.

| Quality of ingredients makes no difference to the finished product. The value of the finished product is determined using the base value (''i.e.'', with no silver or gold star) of the [[Fruits|fruit]] / [[Vegetables|vegetable]]. However, the preserved version is always more profitable than even gold star produce, although the profit margin is lower compared to normal produce. | | Quality of ingredients makes no difference to the finished product.

− | Processing time calculates differently while sleeping than while awake. 1 hour = 60 minutes when awake but = 100 minutes when sleeping. So if you sleep a whole day, the machine would process 2400 minutes (100 × 24). If you work from 6:00AM till 12:00AM and sleep 6 hours, the machine will process 1680 minutes a day (60 × 18 + 100 × 6). If you work from 6:00AM till 2:00AM and faint 4 hours, the machine will process 1600 mins a day (60 × 20 + 100 × 4). | + | Processing time calculates differently while you sleep than while you are awake. 1 hour = 60 minutes when awake but = 100 minutes when sleeping.
