Cabbage
Cabbage rewards patient leafy-vegetable farmers — 30 Sheckles base on a dense head makes it the common bridge between fast lettuce cycles and slower cauliflower event lines.
Base value
Cabbage base value is 30 Sheckles. A 6 kg head sells for 30 × 36 = 1,080 Sheckles raw. At 13 kg you reach 30 × 169 = 5,070 Sheckles before growth multipliers — where Verdant (×7) on a heavy head beats rerolling env tags on faster commons.
Mutations & weather
Dense leafy heads accept Wet (×2) and Verdant (×7) during rain and fertile boosts. Chilled (×4) on cold mornings stacks without the Frozen grow penalty — ideal for cabbage rows finishing in autumn weather.
Farming loop
Plant cabbage during Rain or cool drizzle when Chilled and Wet procs overlap. Clear Skies Tranquil brackets work when you are prioritizing weight over mutation rerolls.
Cabbage strategy
Leafy Head Weight Targets
Cabbage teaches head-style harvesting: one visible weight reading at pick time, similar to lettuce but with a higher base payoff. Set a sell floor in the weight-from-value calculator before dedicating multi-row plots.
Pair cabbage with cauliflower on upgrade paths — if common cabbage cannot reach 10 kg reliably, uncommon cauliflower will struggle on the same fertilizer setup.
Fall and Cooking Adjacency
Cabbage rows fit naturally beside harvest-squash and other fall-event vegetables when weather overlaps. Shared pet paths and weather procs benefit both categories without replotting.
For steady Sheckles, stack bulk on cabbage rather than chasing Rainbow on moderate base — a 15 kg clean head often trades faster than a lightweight multi-tag specimen.
Common questions
- Cabbage or Cauliflower?
- Cauliflower has a 43 base but slower cycles. Run the calculator at your typical harvest weight — higher kg on cabbage can still compete early on.
- What weight should Cabbage reach?
- Aim for 10–14 kg. At 12 kg with no mutations, expect 30 × 144 = 4,320 Sheckles before boosts.
