Feed the Forest upgrade database: demo items and initial prices

Browse 26 standard shop records from the v0.5.4 demo, plus one separately identified special cosmetic. Prices below are serialized initial juice costs.

Content reference: demo v0.5.4

Read the table correctly

The database follows the items referenced by the three demo shops: The Worm, The Water and The Wizard. It includes plant unlocks, collection and water upgrades, helpers, fruit-value upgrades, cosmetics and Insight. Item names remain in their original form so you can find them in the game.

These values come from the v0.5.4 client, not a guessed economy formula. Repeatable purchases can change price and effect; use the current shop tooltip for your next purchase. A stored record does not prove every entry is immediately visible before its own conditions are met. We do not infer maximum levels or growth formulas from unlabelled binary fields.

Special record and excluded assets

Developer Shell is a special cosmetic record with a stored cost of -1. It is shown separately, not advertised as a normal negative-price purchase or a player unlock route. Other named assets without a reference from these demo shops are not silently listed as purchasable demo content.

Use the database to make a decision

Match the item’s purpose to your route, then use actual next cost and measured juice gain in the calculator. Plant unlock prices are not water costs, cosmetic spending is not a production upgrade, and Insight is not helper recruitment.
