How Many Kegs Do I Need?
酒桶要做多少才够？一页看懂：小作坊 / 中等产线 / 重度产线。
TL;DR Quick Answer
- If you are early game, start with a small keg core and avoid overbuilding.
- As crop volume grows, keg throughput (time plus count) becomes the main bottleneck.
- Use preset scenarios below to compare your setup instantly instead of guessing.
- 前期先做小规模酒桶核心，不要一次性铺太大。
- 中后期核心瓶颈不是种子，而是酒桶吞吐（耗时 + 数量）。
- 直接点下面的预设场景对比，比凭感觉靠谱得多。
Use Case + Steps
- Pick one crop chain you actually run now (for example Starfruit or Ancient Fruit).
- Open the matching preset and set your true season/days-left values.
- Check whether processed output is waiting in storage after harvest.
- If backlog remains week to week, increase kegs before adding more crop tiles.
This pairs well with the crop profit calculator for fast what-if checks.

FAQ
How many kegs do I need for Starfruit wine?
Start with enough kegs to keep your best harvest from sitting idle. If you still have large chest backlog after each harvest cycle, add more kegs before expanding crop tiles.
Do Ancient Fruit and Hops need the same keg count?
No. Hops creates much heavier input pressure because of frequent output, while Ancient Fruit is easier to stabilize with fewer kegs per tile.
Does Artisan profession change keg planning?
Artisan boosts processed value, so under-building kegs becomes more expensive in opportunity cost. The profession usually increases the payoff of expanding your keg line.
What if I cannot craft enough kegs yet?
Use a hybrid setup: route top-value fruit into existing kegs, sell some crops raw, and use jars for overflow. This keeps cashflow moving while you scale materials.
