Does this use real in-game math?
No. Sliders are your own estimate. The advice only restates the loop on the Steam page: grow, craft, sell, staff, then reputation and story.
Rate how far your farm and your Peoplesprout staff have come. The planner points at the next official system to lean on. It does not calculate gold, crop yields, or ending flags.
Clear a tile, plant through the seed queue, run one machine, stock the matching counter, turn in an order. Ignore factions until that works. If farmers idle, the queue is empty, not the bag.
