- 💧 Water Crisis Mode: With tripled water costs, every drop is now CRITICAL! Plan your farming investments extremely carefully - even starter crops now demand serious water resources. Budget wisely!
- 💱 Market Timing Is Everything: Crop prices fluctuate ±15% every minute! Monitor the /crops API for real-time pricing. Plant when prices are high, harvest strategically!
- 🔥 Hyper-Speed Farming: Herb (7 min) is perfect for ultra-rapid credit generation and quick market reactions! The fastest turnaround gives you maximum pricing flexibility!
- 📈 Dynamic Efficiency Champions: Base efficiency leaders are now Sunflower (0.396 - ultimate patience reward!), Pumpkin (0.322), and Watermelon (0.321), but with fluctuating prices, any crop could temporarily be the best deal!
- ⚡ Speed vs Market Timing: Fast crops let you react to price changes quickly - Strawberry (40 min) vs Bean (30 min) decision now depends on current market prices!
- 🚀 Market-Aware Bulk Strategy: Only invest in expensive crops (Wheat 72 water, Watermelon 84 water, Pumpkin 90 water) when their prices are above average!
- ⏰ Active Trading Advantage: With 3x faster growth AND dynamic pricing, active farmers who monitor markets every few minutes have huge advantages!

- 🏗️ Price-Aware Expansion: Time your land expansion investments around high-value crop opportunities - maximize returns on your expensive land!
- 🌟 Market Arbitrage: Look for temporary inefficiencies where low water cost crops have high prices, or expensive crops drop below profitability thresholds!
- ⚖️ The New Reality: Static efficiency is dead! Success now requires constant market monitoring, timing precision, and adaptive strategies!
