Indian cotton

I have a question about tear of cotton.
Wiki says tear goes yellow-stained/indian/egyptian/sea island.
I made cereal to 70% so I should be getting cotton tear 2 (if I get agriculture right, 50-100% is tear 2). but 3 times in a row I get several yellow-stained and several egyptian.
did they swap egyptian and indian? or do I do something wrong so I get tear 3 instead of tear 2?
I'm still new and check wiki for everything. but I know that lots of stuff changed and wiki is still not fully updated. so if anyone clarify this for me :)
ty in advance

50-100 in Green will give you a mix of Yellow-stained and Egyptian.
50-100 in Red will give you a mix of Yellow-stained and Indian.

This changes again around 150-200

Green > Red will give you a mix of Sea Island and Indian
Red > Green will give you a mix of Sea Island and Egyptian.

The actual ratio depends on the sum of the two bars.

fe 160 out of 200 will give 20% Sea Island compared to 195 out of 200 will give 90% Sea Island.

A plenty of 200% in a sum of 180 will give an estimated 6 Sea Island cottons and 4 of t2 cotton. (depends on which bar is greater in number) 10 cottons in total.

A plenty of 2000% you mean?

No 200% as originally wrote. Cottons, not Cotton cloth

Ahh, right, sorry, thought you mean cloth.

And now i understand why i get only egyptian cotton. Wonder why such an important info about the mechanics isn't in the wiki, though.

Because much of what is on the wiki is there as the devs gave the original (thus the quotes from jorb) or as players have tried to figure it out. It also requires people that are willing to contribute their knowledge. I keep telling people that if they aren't comfortable with editing a wiki (it's not hard) to post it on the forums and some kind soul will put it on the wiki.

At a minimum, anyone can type up an article just like a post here and not worry about the formatting. Some wiki guru will come behind and make it look pretty if that's the case.

What is listed as t2/t3 are the same tier. I think Droj's explanation is better than the one I saw previously, though.

This was explained to the players originally as "completely random". Hence the confusion.

Kind soul reporting... or at least the one that derp'd the cotton pages by removing the "typo" 1-2-2-3 whilst reworking the format and templates on the cotton (and other crop) pages... ooops :oops:

Can someone confirm that this "combination of bars influences which tier 2 output" holds for the other crops as well? and if so could someone post which bars (by colour) influences which output? PM me or post on here would be great.


edit: derp reversed on the wiki... would still like more info on which bars lead to which tier 2 product.
