Post Description

Hi HN — I built something that’s been genuinely useful for myself and other Garden Horizons players, and I’d love to get feedback.

Website: https://gardenhorizonscalculator.co/

Garden Horizons (a popular Roblox farming game) has a deceptively complex economy — crops have weight-scaled pricing, ripening multipliers, color variants, and mutation effects from weather. Figuring out the actual sell value of a harvest has historically required spreadsheets or manual math to estimate.

What I needed was a tool to instantly compute the sell value and profit for any crop setup before I actually sell, so I built one.

What it does

Takes crop type, weight, ripeness state, variant, and weather mutation data

Calculates exact sell price in Shillings

Helps optimize when to harvest and which crops to plant for best profit

Runs entirely in the browser — no sign-ups, no tracking

The goal was not just a lookup chart, but an interactive calculator that helps you compare scenarios quickly without manual spreadsheets.

Looking for feedback

I’m curious about:

Whether others find this useful

Any edge cases I haven’t covered

Suggestions for UI or expanded functionality

Happy to answer questions. Thanks!
