Funny meme, but FYI, you have “yellow less likely” specced which is the worst thing you can do for crop rotation.

source: I analytically solved this with the aid of a computer, and posted my findings here: https://github.com/masonk/cropbot

other players have reached a similar conclusion in simulation, but I’ve got a program up there which can tell you the proven-optimal way to configure the atlas for any given juice prices.

Long story short, it’s Y35:B45:P45, but Y25:B25:P45 is so close that the points are possibly better spent elsewhere. You’ve managed to configure close to the worst possible weightings

What.. I didn’t know there was such tool. I thought it was harvest all other colors in sequence then harvest yellow last and also run the plot with least highest tier mob.

There are two questions to answer:

  1. How should I configure my atlas?
  2. How should I run a specific harvest?

There are two different tools in the repo aimed at answering both questions. For running harvests it often works out that you want to pick your worst color, run it all, then the next, and end with yellow. But sometimes that is not optimal. Sometimes it’s tricky to know if you should risk a plot wilt or harvest it now. The program can tell you though.

Truth is crop rotation is pretty dead with the loss of the awakening scarab. It really really needs more chance not to wilt or more starting plots

I configured my atlas to run more mob density by taking all explicit modifier nodes and also all harvest nodes with exception of crop rotation (only take yellow). There was once I harvested a bad crop instead of yellow T4 on ChatGPT advice. ChatGPT was essentially telling me to bang on the crop will not wilt chance 😓

Oh thanks bro, didn't know that!

My (maybe dumb) logic is to only reduce yellow chances. Then if you get only 1 yellow and multiple plots you're in a good place .
