With the additions to the juice factory, the ice cream factory and the pizza factory, the emphasis is back onto producing pineapples for all three plants to make the most money...and pineapples were already the most profitable crop before the factories existed.

The temporary diverse marketplace dynamic is coming to an end, soon all the maximized farms will be just pineapples cows and the occasional sugar rotation.

Slashkey- I would love to help you with this. I have a master's in economics of competitive simulations and I would enjoy helping out for just portfolio building. I can be contacted via PM's, and I'll send in resumee material within the week as well.

Pineapples where never the most profitable crop out there it was raspberries. If you just want to look at 3 day crops rosemary was more profitable then pineapples. You make 3 more coins form rosemary then you do for pineapples. Now as for the facilities yes they may make pineapples more profitable but they are not the only big money maker out there. Also I can only speak for my self but I have always planted whatever crop caught my eye when planting. Once you get several million coins, the coins don't matter that much and you plant what crops you like to plant.
