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) since the preserve jar has a much faster processing time.  However, it is possibly even more critical to note that this means you will burn through your supply of crops much more quickly (with less overall return) and can therefore run out supply, rendering preserve jars ineffective, since farm size and crop production is limited.

In general it is better to ''avoid'' growing crops that have a higher profit in preserves jars because they are inherently less valuable, and recommended to buy/grow fruit with base values greater than 50g or vegetables with values greater than 200g, where the keg becomes more profitable.  When above these base sell prices, it is ''always'' more efficient in the long run to process them in kegs, since kegs only add a delay - but only if the number of kegs you can craft/place can keep up with your crop production.  Since it is common to have difficulty producing enough kegs in the early game to keep up with the incoming supply, it can therefore be beneficial to process some lower-value items with jars to match the incoming supply as closely as possible.  It also may be desired, at times, to process a batch of crops through preserves jars simply for a quicker return during the early game when having more funds sooner could mean better progress in the game overall.  From a min-max perspective it is optimal to avoid preserve jars entirely and focus on keg production with higher-value items, and keeping their processing throughput higher than the amount of crops you can produce.  This can be difficult to execute which is where having some preserve jars as a backup processing method can come in handy.

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 &times; 24).  If you work from 6:00AM till 12:00AM and sleep 6 hours, the machine will process 1680 minutes a day (60 &times; 18 + 100 &times; 6). If you work from 6:00AM till 2:00AM and faint 4 hours, the machine will process 1600 mins a day (60 &times; 20 + 100 &times; 4).

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 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 Melons. The breakpoint is data-sort-value="50">Gold.png50g for fruits and data-sort-value="200">Gold.png200g 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 data-sort-value="200">Gold.png200g.

Fruits Vegetables

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, Wheat, and Tea Leaves) since the Preserves Jar has a much shorter processing time.

Storage Options

Inside 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. Coops are cheaper still, but smaller, permitting fewer kegs per tile of external farmland used. Cabins 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, 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.

  • Optimal Shed layout provides 67 spaces

  • Optimal Big Shed layout provides 137 spaces

  • Optimal Barn layout provides 90 spaces

  • One possible Deluxe Barn layout with 136 kegs

  • Empty, unclaimed Cabin layout with 42 kegs

  • Single upgrade Cabin layout with 113 kegs

  • Two upgrade Cabin layout with 352 kegs

  • Two upgrades and remodeling Cabin layout with 586 kegs

Outside The Farm

See also: Crafted goods outside the farm

Kegs can be stored almost anywhere outside the farm. Out of the way places are best as NPCs walking through a keg will destroy it. Other good options not pictured are the Desert and the Railroad.
