Early Game
CornWhy It Works: 250 income at 12s — the first seed with enough payout per cycle to make a 10-15 min AFK window worthwhile. Low 200K cost means you can replant without stress.
AFK Strength: Hands-down the best early AFK workhorse. Cheap, rollable, and the income jump from rare-tier seeds is significant.
When to Upgrade: Once you unlock Strawberry or better legendary-tier seeds, Corn becomes your backup plan, not your main earner.
How to Get: If you haven't rolled Corn yet, keep going — it's only 1 in 569, one of the most accessible epics.
