A main crop switch can change the whole route. If updates changed crop value, growth timing, event pressure, or support fit, old advice may point at the wrong crop.
A calculator is only useful when the inputs match the current game state. Check patch context first, then compare crops.
If no recent update touches crops, rewards, events, or support roles, you can judge the crop switch from route performance instead.
