Crops Broken?

I bet less than 1 month...pretty soon to me.

What if you end up on 100+ q field?

Btw to recap the all thing....like Ukhata said, 37,5% of your crops will have same quality or above when not on the quality field for that crop.
So each crops that give at least 3 times seeds can be easy increased in quality with 12,5% increasing in size.

When you are planting on the quality field you have 54,54% same quality or above, so you can increase crops that gives 2 times in seeds, with size increase of 9,08%, and crops 3 times seeds, 63,62%.

Not quality field:

37,5 x 3 seeds = 112,5%

Quality field:

54,54 x 2 seeds = 109,6%
54,54 x 3 seeds = 163,62%

Hope this is clear enough.
P.S. take in mind this is the average, so RNG will hit all of us

q1 barley seeds. Thanks jorb. Farming has never been so shit.

I'm not the farmer anyways but I can see it becoming quite annoying to harvest your crops after they pass whatever the local quality is and they change to -5 +2. Yeah it's the same as going over the soil quality in legacy but at least you knew what the quality limit was.

Thanks for the summary. I wish we had the old forums as someone did a very good write-up of the math on it. (It's actually not that hard once you know the rules of statistics, and not hard to create a simulator to run several samples.)

Side note: hope the q ranges on pumpkin are what they were in legacy, too, so quality only lags behind because of the time to raise them.

54,54 x 2 seeds = 109,6%
54,54 x 3 seeds = 163,62%

And basically it's the skills what determines where we are in the range between 109.6 and 163.62. Looks reasonable on paper. Feels a bit different considering the actual crops q. Could be RNG, yes, I know. The bad thing is - you never know if it's your luck or a bug...

More reason why I am never farming
Goodbye to all the farmers that drowned themselves o7

Farming seem fine to me.

So...after some math (oh my god ) i can tell you that the average number of tiles you need to have at least one crop for each quality (-5/+2 & -5/+5).......

NON quality field: about 22 => efficiency 3(+0,+1,+2)/22= 13.6%

Quality field is: about 33 => efficiency 6(+0,....+5)/33= 18.18%

Now, if there is somebody better than me with math....maybe he can tell us how may tiles we need to increase always the quality(if possible), but i guess it will be very high

Well, I've tried to come up with a few examples like "what are the chances you are fucked if you have just one beetroot planted without druidic rite"... The problem is - if we assume that the probability of all the possible -5..+5 outcomes is the same (devs never actually said that) then even for one beetroot planted the chance that both beetroots harvested are of a lower quality is just about 0.2, i.e. on average 4 of 5 players who planted one beetroot should have got at least one of a higher quality. For me personally it doesn't feels like really reflecting the results we were getting.
