Firstly, Congratulations. You've put a lot of time into this and must have been a tedious task to accomplish.

But what I'd like to add here is the fact that since this is random, I really don't think there is any point in trying to get percentages. For example some people find the Dragon fruit to be the most rare but I've managed to get 5 Dragon fruits in 6 Turbo farms at the same time. Sure it gives a vague idea that the item is rare but I'd prefer to give it a rarity tag rather than giving it a value.

[TheGameKid1996]

Are you sure it's completely random? because theres a pretty big difference between them.

I'll do another 500 when i have time and match the differences

[Palpetinus]

When that's the results, it doesn't really seem random to me...

[Aerow]

What I meant is its random depending on rarity. Like carrots and corn are common, Eggplant is uncommon and the Dragon Fruit etc is rare.

[TheGameKid1996]

I think it's not random, it's probably the scale

[Palpetinus]

If it's random, it's a % chance again, too. 7 Different things, 100% chance to spawn stuff at all = 100/7 = 14,28% dropchance for everything. The term "random" does barely exists in games. Just sayin'. And sorry for being an unnecessary smartass.

[Aerow]

Like I said, the rarity might be to a scaling but the actual items in the rarity fields are random. That is what I speculate on. If only you guys read and understood what I meant earlier, this would be clear.

[OmegaJasam]

Aerow what you wrote was unclear and ambigiouois. What you wrote would be clear if you wrote it as such, and didn't imply a mostly baseless theory was fact.

Each item could just as easly have a rarity value as there be present bands. Or both.

The dataset here is still too small for conclusive data, the most valuable stat here are the numbers and %, re-qriting it to bands that might not exist helps no-one. With a large enough dataset however, we could get VERY accurate % relitivly, and find items with equal rarity.

you should do 1000 more seeds....see what happens ¬¬

I'll probably need the food anyways

going for 1000 days

[Aerow]

Well I guess speculation isnt allowed in this thread now is it? Good luck with the data gathering to figure out the CHANCE to grow the crops offa seeds.

[Marak]

I dunno, his results match what I'm seeing consistently from my Turbo Plots. Corn and Carrots galore, with the occasional Eggplant or Dragonfruit, and Durian and Pumpkins bringing up the rear.

Makes you wonder why Durian (the fruity equivalent to Monster Meat) is so rare, while the items that can be cooked into ridiculously-good foods (Eggplant, Dragonfruit) are merely uncommon.

[mobius187]

Hmmm, what interests me the most is the fact that "Berries" never appeared in your list. So they must have finally removed it from growing as a crop. Thank goodness!

[A Bad Feeling]

Yeah, I noticed it too. Berries seems to be no longer growing as a crop since 13 Nov. update.

[501105]

Interesting results, I thought pumpkins would be more common than eggplants.

[Marak]

Yeah, that's what you would think, but currently I have made about 15 Stuffed Eggplant, while I only have 6 or 7 Pumpkins. Cooked Pumpkin (pie?) restores a ludicrous amount of hunger all on it's own (I think it restores 60), though, so it makes sense from that standpoint.

[501105]

Agreed on that front, Cooked pumpkin is very good for filling the stomach. What is also good to know, is how small of a change durian has, I hate the stuff.

[Marak]

Durian is basically glorified filler, at least for me. I'll use it in place of Carrots or Corn in Crock Pot recipes, just to get rid of it.

[A Bad Feeling]

Aha! I'm not the only one who hates Durians.

They are goddamn useless.

[Marak]

To be more (sort of) on topic: here's a fun little "trick" with farms:

Use them as storage! For instance, I'm swimming in Corn and Carrots, so what I did was plant my gardens, and I picked the Corn and Carrots - but left any Dragonfruit, Pumpkins, or Eggplants alone. Now I have 5 farms with fully-grown Dragonfruit, Eggplants, and Pumpkins just waiting to be harvested and thrown into the Crock Pot as needed. Saves room in my Chests, since Crock Pot food doesn't stack, but I can make 5 bits of it at a whim by raiding my garden.

I know, I know, it's not super useful and only works if you already have a decent stockpile of crops, but I thought I'd share anyway.

[NeedPants]

Did u guys know something strange about the durian. Use 3 butterfly wings and a durian in the crockpot and u get???? A butterfly muffin? NAY tiz not like a regular 3 wings and 1 veggie. Strangely, u get a Fruit Medley. WHYYY?

[Marak]

Because Durian are fruits and not vegetables.

edit: you can tell by the icon when you cook one: it has seeds inside of it. Fruits HAVE seeds, Vegetables ARE seeds.

[TheGameKid1996]

Fruits HAVE seeds, Vegetables ARE seeds.

i'm pretty sure that's not true

[Excess]

Amazing work Kid. Keep it up, it appears that the devs have stopped ("paused" more likely) messing with the crop drop rates.

The bigger the sample, the more accurate the info will be.

PS: As this is, indeed, speculation, it's no use discussing grammar. Each can interpret the data as he sees fit. Wanna label it? Fine, call it "über rare", "rare" and "oh ****, ANOTHER carrot?" if you will. I, personally, will stick to "from a base of 500 crops, on build Nºxxxxxx, corn dropped %30 percent of the time on a controlled test in a given time".
