What is wrong with my crops?

[nezhit]

I plant q63 beetroot, I harvest q63 beetrot. Three (!) times in a row.
Is there a hardcap I am not aware of? I have 140 farming atm.

It's even worse with flax, I planted 24x12 field of q31 flax, and harvested all q30 flax.
What is going on? Is farming bugged? Am I doing it wrong?

It is random.

Current farming system sucks as some lame people complained about'sorting seeds is to much work' and the devs sadly listened.

Now you should plant crops at intervals, like every 5 hours, in order to maximize your chance of good outcomes

u mean have their bot do it lol cuz thats what the farming change encourages people to do

Crops have been returned to the mechanics in Legacy. If their quality is below the local quality field for that type of crop -- all crops have their own -- they will, for each generation, change their quality from -5 to +5. If they are above the local quality field they will instead change in quality from -5 to +2, for each generation. If your farming value is lower than the quality of the crop, the result of the quality change will always be negative. Each crop harvested is randomized individually. The collective field effect has been removed entirely. (If this is a good change -- stacking and such -- remains to be seen)

thats in the 'world 10' patch /new world
sorry but 63 might be the softcap he talks of. either move to high quality cap area or slow grind

This has been change in later patch and no long apply.

That mechanic was removed two weeks in.

Game Development: Swan Fishing

• For farming: Removed generational quality randomization per plant, and thus seed sorting, from farming, and returned to the previous W9 quality randomization mechanic per locality and point in time. Removed inspect feedback on crops. Remade crop quality fields to crop speed fields, so that crops now grow with somewhat varying speeds in varying locales, rather than have their qualities affected by the crop fields.

ahh cool, i like that farming moreso than having the right node >>

but makes his case of 63crops more weird hehe
