Bank examples

Read the result without treating it as a crop price

Screen event	Value shown	How to use it	Last checked
Average deal shown in the Bank	7	The panel showed a 15 second countdown, so this was a changing deal, not a fixed crop price.	2026-08-05
Completed batch transfer	513	The crop mix and quantity were not visible, so this cannot be converted into a per-crop value.	2026-08-05

No per-crop calculator yet. The 513 transfer did not show the crop mix or quantity.

Practical decision

Bank before comparing a land cost

The Bank is the point where harvested inventory becomes spendable cash. Finish the transfer, then compare your cash with the exact number displayed on the land pad you want.

Where does the cash go next?

The land page lists the early costs that were visible in the same dated tutorial.
