So if I have 100 in one and 51 in the other? I'll get teir 3?

How do you plant a crop so it doesn't go up a teir and use Influence you have been saving for a different crop, well I guess I'm asking what's the best fertilizer order and crop order for a good rotating farm how would one achieve something like this without crops using the influence?

You can't. Every crop planted adds to one bar, but removes from all the other bars, so you need to use Influence fertilizers. Say you want Red Cabbage as your end result.

So, you start by planting Cotton and keep planting cotton until the blue bar is full. You get 5 points naturally each planting so that means 20 crops or use influence fertilizers to increase it. If you get your field to 300% influence, the crop will give you 15 points instead. Once the blue bar is full, you can get Green Cabbage, or Harvest Moon etc, or White Corn, I think. You can then alternate between the tier 2 of one of those three and the Yellow Cotton without needing any influence fertilizers or anything else forever.

However, you really want Red Cabbage, so you need a second full bar, the Pink one. I say to start with Cotton because now that full Blue bar will give you better Pumpkins when you plant them because the Harvest Moon type requires Blue. Start planting Pumpkins and use Influence fertilizers like Hay and Eggshells to give you extra Influence. 500% influence will give you 25 to the Pink bar each planting. Do that 4 times with your Pumpkin. You'll lose 20 Blue influence while you do that. So, plant a Cotton crop at the end with 400% influence. Now, you have pink and blue bars as full as the can get at 100 and 95. Now, plant one round of Cabbage with lots of Plenty bonus and you will get a lot of Red Cabbage and maybe a little of White or Green as well. Then you rotate all three crops forever: Cotton with 200% or so Influence, followed by Pumpkin with 200% or so influence, followed by Cabbage with Plenty bonuses.

Cotton can be substituted with Tobacco because they both add to Blue though Tobacco takes extra effort and isn't will suited for this. And you don't have to use the Influence amounts I gave, you can do more and go quicker with the extra effort, or you can use less and go a lot slower, but it might save you on some resources.

If you want what you see in that picture, you have to use a lot of influence fertilizers and multiple rotations of all the crop colors. It also requires a good bit of added influence to Every crop you plant since you can let any of the bars drop very low. I suggest starting with getting two bars up and going from there.

So if I have 100 in one and 51 in the other? I'll get teir 3?

Probably, but if you're getting like 10 cotton puffs out of the field only one will be tier 3 at most, the rest will be tier 2.

Lol ok, I wish I could find something that explains it already

Crown M 1x + ~50-60 Hay give 1000% influ = +50% one bar so
made cabbage 2 rootation got 100%
next pumpkin 2 rotatnion got 100% but cabbage bar lose -10% (-5% for rotatnion)
next car... 2 roratnion got 100% ( so cabbage now 80%, pumpkin 90%)
next cotton 2 rotation got 100% ( so cabbage now 70%, pumpkin 80%, car,, 90%)
cant all bars for 100%

yeah like a complete explanation + example by one of the devs. God if only they would take the time to write up like 2-3 paragraphs!

Well, give it a try and see if you understand it better then. It'll be easier if you see it in action. Is there a particular crop you want to get?

[piffboy6]

Would love to get sea island cotton, or the teir 3 cabbage I think
