Farming Question

What are the other factors that are affecting my growth time?

Basically nothing, if you are in natural light.

The time you see (6 hours) is expected growth time. It based on ‘ticks’ and the shorter the growth time, the greater chance of progression each tick.

I’ll see if I can find the relevant post.

Please bring in an “Auto Harvest” Boon

Unfortunately they are fully rng with a percent chance to progress. I think each crop has 4 stages. The growth times are expected, not maximum. Lets say 4 stages and each stage ticks every minute. If you want crops to expect to grow in 8 minutes, you make them have 50% chance to advance on each tick. Some could grown in 4 minutes, most will grow in 8 minutes, potentially some could never grow. There is a name for the curve, but I can’t remember it (or be bothered to look it up!)

[Feedback] Testing 224 - Crop growth times

The gui should really say ‘expected’ or ‘average’ time to ripen, the crops have only a few stages, but tick once a day, so to achieve growth times more than 2-3 hours it works on a poisson process, each day they have a probability of advancing to the next stage (so if the growth has expected time of say 80 days, and the crop has 8 stages, it has a 10% chance of advancing each day, so most days wont do anything, some days might advance once or even twice (and very very rarely 3, 4 or even all 8 s…
