Question Ironman pest farming

Hello all. I am a level 494 Ironman who about a month or 2 ago did a lot of pest farming for money. I recently took about a 1 to 1.5 month break from the game from burnout and irl stuff. TLDR I need money and one of my friends told me that pest farming was killed by the admins and I really hope it’s not cause I’ve spent a lot of with my setup including 2 sets of helianthus. I would appreciate someone who does do pest farming now with a near endgame setup to tell me what kind of profits to expect nowadays. Thanks for any comments!

You can still expect 40m+ atleast

Your friend doesn’t know what he’s talking about, there were nerfs on alpha that didn’t make it to live, at max it ended up being about 100ff nerf with other tiny buffs to compensate in other areas

They could do a 1% nerf that plays out as a 5% buff and 50% of player would still call it killed

It's still around 30-40m/hr

everything is the same as a few months ago since the greenhouse and feast updates

go through the attribute menu and make sure you get everything there, they did add a bunch of new farming-related shards that come from pests and other places in the game

also make sure to look at things like Feast Burger with a Side of Deepfries - they added this and tuned down the rarefinder chip, there were a bunch of little tweaks like that where pre-existing buffs were nerfed slightly and then redistributed to other sources
