Crop quality keeps dropping despite high farm level.

Coriander is right, guys. If you terraform an area into grassland (either by clear-cutting or seed planting), at the very least your wheat and carrots improve (we've got some in the 20s). One of the unannounced changes is that crops go better on certain terrain, apparently. However our wheat tests on natural heath and grasslands didn't improve, so grassing it yourself seems to be the crucial step.

This seems unlikely.

So basically I have to grass over my grassland and the crops will grow better.

thx

Flax: 10,9,11; 11,6,9... Fibres 10 and 11.
Onion: 7,8,9; 9,5,7; 11,4,4 (probably from the 10).
Hops: 3,4,4; 7,6,4; 5,6,3; 5,3,1; 8,5,3; 3,2,4
Wheat: From the 2: 1,2,3; From 6 and 7: 1,2,3,5,5,6. Not one even above the lowest of the two in that pair, and the 2 saw only a single seed with any improvement. Straw of 2, 6, and 7. (Is the straw equal to the planting seed's quality? A test will reveal more later).

Farming @ 20, Soil @ roughly 28. Natural Grassland.
Wheat: 13x1q, 4x2q, 3x3q, 2x4q, 4x5q, 6q. Conclusive of failure to improve and visible decline. Did not catch straw q's (farming partner not interested in helping).
Flax: From 11: 7,7,9; From 11: 7,6,11; From 10: 12, 5, 8. Again, some potential of increase but not much. Fibres 11, 11, 10.
Onion: From the 11: 13,10,13; 9's: 11,3x10,6,5; 8: 10,10,5; 7's: 7,4,3,3x2; 5: 6,4,4; 4's: 1,3,4
The hops crop: a single 10, a single 8, two 7's, a smattering of 6's, and a bunch of five and under trash.

Onion results are mixed. Flax shows little increase. Wheat shows definite decline. Hops shows stagnation to decline.
Depressing at best, really discouraging at worst - I don't think I want to farm anymore. I really don't want to commit any of my Q22 wild carrots I found to farming until this bug is fixed... I've found 3 carrots in 22 WWWs since I started farming.

Q of Fibres, straw seem to be equal to parent seed's quality. Good to know.

How do you know it's an "Unannounced change"?

I don't know why jorb or loftar aren't saying anything about this.

I don't know why jorb or loftar aren't saying anything about this.

They are working on a different game now, so who knows how many weeks this will go on for before a dev even acknowledges it.

[jorb]

It's definitely a bug of some sort. We are aware and will try to fix it before hell freezes over.

[Lahrmid]

YES!

Finally...

Yay!
