I understand now that this being FT they would never do that and will always get something as we harvest.

But it would seem since they haven't changed the wording that we will still get something as we harvest, but maybe a % of the %.

For example a 2 day crop at the highest belt 72%
1000 fields yields 1360 crops versus 1720
and it being a 2 day crop at the highest dan nets you 50% of the 72%

To simplify all of this they had to use all the same numbers for the rank itself but the actual extra boxes you receive as you harvest may depend on the harvest time of the item. My examples before may be way off and not go all the way down to 2.5% but maybe the same percentage is the same as how we gained the belts too but my head hurts still from the 12 hour thing don't wants to do any more maths.

But I like your way better. And making it more complicated gives Oopsy something to talk about and for Grumpa to see if I made any errors.

I don't understand why you think a 2 hour crops has less of a chance of getting an extra box then a 4 day crop does. That has neither been said or hinted at anywhere on the forum by the developers. The percent chance you have of getting an extra box is stated in the first post of this thread and based on the belt you have. If the time it took to grow the crop factored in the developers would have given different figures for the different grow times. If you harvest a field of raspberries you have a 72% chance of getting an extra box if you have the dan 6th degree belt and if you harvest cotton you have a 72% chance of getting an extra box when you harvest a field it is that simple. The time it takes to grow has nothing to do with the "chance" of getting an extra box. If like you say a 2 hour crop is less of a chance they would not say it is a 72% chance they would say it is an x% chance. I have seen no evidence that you do not get close to the full percent or even more then the full percent you are at when you harvest and I have been watching the numbers when I harvest. If the developers had set it up the way you are thinking they would be lying to us about what the chance is of getting an extra box is.
