[Cannot Reproduce] Critical success on harvesting crops? 21 yield with 83 farming

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if it's intended that you seem to sometimes get a critical success, if you'd call it that, when harvesting crops?

 

I've had multiple instances (with 83.xx Farming), where I got 21 yield of easy crops like potato, or sugar beet. I'm uncertain whether or not those were fields that I never failed to tend at any growth stage, which is possible. It did strike me as odd though, because 21 is about double of a normal "good" harvest.

 

Not complaining, but I'd rather not line in with the questionable moral of shutting up about something odd, and then winch when it gets "fixed" two years later :rolleyes:

I think it would be helpful if you could lay out HOW often your getting this critical success.  1 in every 100 harvests.. 1000  10  etc. Kind of hard to judge if your getting a lot of critical success or?

multiple animals and regular tending combined I guess. It is the animal poop people, no need to panic

3 out of 95 since Nov 27, I guess, or less, I had one harvest on the 26th and a bunch of harvests of reed with no "crits". But the first "crit" was on Nov 27.

It's because of how long the crops were alive

 

Tending increases yield but so does age of the crop. grazing animals can cause it to take longer for them to become ripe, and this increased time increases the yield.  people used to micromanage their crops and put animals on them just the right amount to balance out growth and grazing to make them last long enough to get like 50 yield although it wasn't very practical considering the extra effort it took

50 yield? Holy crop!

Do you happen to be casting wild growth near the fields

No Wild Growth near fields at all, no animals should've grazed on them, unless it was random when driving over them with a cart or wagon. Didn't have drum roll/swirl either.

I encountered the same thing on one field yesterday.  Will open an issue.  Thanks for the report - no wild growth, no animals on mine.

I've not seen this again with any crop recently.  Is this still happening for anyone?

Not seen it again either, but I feel like I get rather low harvests on easy crops now. Getting 6, when I've usually gotten 8-10 before 1.3, like on potatos and onions. And 6 was on hard crops like garlic.

I agree, noticed a 2-3 less yield per field even when tending every chance I can on all fields, 92 farming, 93ql rake.

 

Especially with Sugar beats, 6-8 yield.

With the situation when you sometimes got a 21 yield, all other yields were normal.

 

After the "fix", yields still seem to be very low instead throughout the entirety of December, until this day. The only way to increase the very meager yields now seems to require a "high end item" (rune on rake), or perhaps bees. So runes and bees don't give any benefit or bonus of any sort, but merely get you back up to your old yields if you're lucky.

 

So that happens when you report an anomaly, "thanks", I guess :rolleyes:.

Nothing was 'fixed' as far as this report goes.  It was very rare and couldn't be reproduced consistently.  I just started hearing of players getting the 21 and 22 yield again.  The bug is not closed, but lacks reproduction steps.

This has been on the bug  list for more than a year without a reproduction of the issue and no further reports from players.  The devs have no been able to find anything in the code that would cause this other than the normal changes to increase yields as mentioned in the posts above. 

 

 If this does happen again and is consistent, please open a new bug with details about your fields, tends, grazes, etc.
