Value List

How Value Works In This Game

Throw Food For Animals doesn't have trading, so "value" here means three concrete things: what an animal pays when sold, what multiplier an egg or shop animal contributes, and what a mutation adds. All three reduce to income math — which is why the tier list and this page are companion reads. One universal rule covers most of it: the number on your screen beats every external value list, because variants make identical species worth different amounts, and the game always shows the real figure.

Sell Values: The 20x Rule

Community testing consistently finds sold animals pay roughly 20x their income per second. It's the pattern the sell interface's numbers follow across tiers, though the exact constant isn't official — treat the on-screen figure as truth and the 20x as the planning heuristic. Practical consequences: culling a pen of ten mid-game animals (say, $5M/s each) refunds about $1B — real money toward the next food tier, not pocket change. Selling is part of the money engine, not just cleanup. One exception before you sell anything: check variant tags, because a Rainbow (x20) or INFINITE (≥7x) catch invalidates every species-based valuation instinct.

Multiplier Table: Eggs & Shop Animals

The scaling detail every multiplier buyer should internalize: these pay percentages of your best animal, so their value tracks your progress. x9 of a Waste Harvester-scale roster is staggering; x9 of a starter Frog is a rounding error. The community consensus on timing holds up: build first, buy the multipliers when your best animal is already deep-zone grade.

Mutation Multipliers

The mutation stack is where the game's biggest value swings live. Rainbow multiplies income x20 (odds around 1 in 200 catches). INFINITE size adds at least x7. Gold adds a smaller, currently untracked multiplier. They stack multiplicatively — a Rainbow INFINITE catch is running roughly 140x or better on its base income. Frame of reference: a Rainbow INFINITE Crocodile (F-tier species, $720K/s base) would out-earn a plain Deep Waters Shark ($750T/s) by about twenty times. That's why the value list's first commandment is check the tags before selling, and why luck windows (see the mutations guide) are the highest-leverage moments in the game.

Robux Value Ranking

For Robux spending, the value order is stable across trackers: x2 Cash (99) first — permanent doubling of the core resource compounds across every future hour. x2 Training Power (149) second for anyone grinding distance. Pumpkin Monster (499) once your roster is deep — the strongest raw multiplier. Super Lucky Throws as targeted ammunition for hunts and new-map releases. Server Luck singles weakest for solo buyers in busy servers (others' purchases share the boost with you free). And the free tier: the shop's Free Item row — the Hyena being the classic — is the best value in the game at a price of nothing, pending the day actual codes arrive.

Worked Examples: Value Math In Practice

Three scenarios show the system working end to end. Selling a displaced Shark ($750T/s): at the 20x heuristic, about $15T back — a meaningful slice of the next food tier during the Deep Waters era, which is why the sell-first habit funds mid-game so well. Rolling a Reaper from a Halloween Egg on an endgame roster: five times your best animal, instantly your new best — and the old best now sells for 20x its own income, partially refunding the egg. Catching a Rainbow INFINITE in the back third during a 16x window: base income times twenty times at least seven — the single biggest value event the game offers, and the reason every rule on this page ends with "check the tags."

The general principle behind all three: value in this game is downstream of income per second, and income per second is downstream of depth and luck. Every "what's it worth" question resolves to the same chain — check the animal's actual income on screen, apply the multipliers it carries, and compare against what your ten slots currently produce. External value lists (this one included) provide the multipliers and the base rates; the animal in your inventory provides the truth. When the two disagree, believe the animal.
