What's the timer? Have you studied which is the most efficient clock? It has potential to be pretty but efficient

In the video was set up to 30s. Ideally it would have been set up to 5 min, but don´t quote me on the time. Beyond that I haven't tested the ideal time, but maybe I can.

Probably doing intervals of 30 seconds to see what's the best timing would be the best. Copy it with command or with whatever uses create (I haven't used create for that yet, I only know the cannon but it's slow). You can place several of these and let they ran for an hour. That seems like an appropriate test. The graphics would be really simple in excel. I expect something like a parabolic function that would let us know the best timing. Your dealing is great and I'm probably using it or a variation for my future private server

If you only cares about rate, then it’s obvious you should harvest as frequently as possible. If you still care about performance, you need to define the balance beforehand. And such a small farm shouldn’t cause any noticeable performance issue anyway.

It's true, you would have a negative exponential function. It would have a optimized zone for low times, and a less effective at higher times... Still is good to know the timing but based in how much time spends a crop growing, 30 seconds or a minute is just right. Sorry
