At least with that valid information then people can plan accordingly. We need stuff like that so at least people know when it will truly be done outside of all the RNG stuff.

I found these detailed explanations by developer, what I understood it farming uses RNG and with certain formulas to save data on server.

[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…

[Feedback] Testing 224 - Crop growth times

Generally speaking, anything block-based has 8 bits to play with for encoding extra state, eg chiselling blocks uses “all” of those bits to encode the different shape/orientiations of the shapes. In some cases, we use extra block-ids where those bits aren’t sufficient, eg texture-rotation (because chiselling already uses all the 8 extra bits) uses 3 extra block-ids instead. For crops, that means that as a base, we have 8 bits to play with. 3 bits are used for fertilizing. There are 3 types of…
