How to Build a Grow a Garden 2 Crop Value Calculator Using Python

Grow a Garden 2 contains dozens of crops, mutations, growth bonuses, and value multipliers. Manually calculating the value of a harvested crop can be difficult, especially when mutations and friend boosts are involved.

In this tutorial, we'll build a simple Python calculator that estimates crop values automatically.

Step 1: Create Crop Data

plants = { "Carrot": { "base_value": 25, "rarity": "Common" }, "Strawberry": { "base_value": 40, "rarity": "Common" }, "Mushroom": { "base_value": 2500, "rarity": "Legendary" } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2: Create Mutation Multipliers

mutations = { "None": 1, "Golden": 2, "Bloodlit": 5, "Rainbow": 10 }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 3: Calculate Crop Value

def calculate_value(base_value, weight, mutation_multiplier): return base_value * weight * mutation_multiplier value = calculate_value( base_value=2500, weight=4.5, mutation_multiplier=5 ) print("Estimated Value:", value)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 4: Add Friend Boost

def apply_friend_boost(value, boost_percent): return value * (1 + boost_percent / 100) final_value = apply_friend_boost(value, 70) print("Final Value:", round(final_value))
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 5: Complete Calculator

plant = "Mushroom" weight = 4.5 mutation = "Bloodlit" friend_boost = 70 base = plants[plant]["base_value"] multiplier = mutations[mutation] value = calculate_value(base, weight, multiplier) final_value = apply_friend_boost(value, friend_boost) print("Crop:", plant) print("Value:", round(final_value))
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why Use a Calculator?

As new crops, pets, gears, and mutations are added to Grow a Garden 2, value calculations become more complicated.

Many players use dedicated tools instead of calculating everything manually.
