So far, I've only been able to attain 1:1 Garlic to seed ratio going up and down the Nile in the regions of Shabbat Ab and the lower half of Stillwater. [[User:Xirtam|Xirtam]]

Latest revision as of 15:33, 15 June 2009

Lets try to keep the main page clean and put all discussion related to yield increase in here. List all factors attempted and the results you came with. Don't forget to mention time of the day, coordinates and the region. Feel free to leave other comments as well, to edit this list click on "edit", messages will be left below with the "+".

Note: I've only grown Garlic in one spot (sandbank by a lake in CCR), and the yield was always 2 garlic, 1 garlic seed. So far, I've only been able to attain 1:1 Garlic to seed ratio going up and down the Nile in the regions of Shabbat Ab and the lower half of Stillwater. Xirtam

Factors

Altitude

  • Doesn't seem to affect anything. Tried growing in an elevated spot around 1:00am, (4650, 6945) Pyramid Lake Minos 15:28, 17 December 2008 (EST)

Crowding

  • I have gotten a 5 garlic yield at (40, 124), while I get 1 everywhere else. /crowd shows 1% crowding at that spot. I get the same yield (5) in nearby areas, with crowding up to 8%. Crowding is not sufficient by itself, though -- I have found 0% crowding spots where I still get the 1/1 yield. --aporianaut 22:22, 23 December 2008 (EST)

Slopes

  • Doesn't seem to affect anything. Tried growing in a slope around 12:00am (4575, 6940) Pyramid Lake Minos 15:28, 17 December 2008 (EST)
  • Tried growing at the bottom of a cliff facing west around 1:50am (4620, 6716) Pyramid Lake Minos 15:40, 17 December 2008 (EST)

Beehives

  • Got a yield of 5 garlic when planted among 4 beehives. -Zovacor, 2009 January 6
  • I have confirmed that apiaries (with/without a queen) have no effect on garlic yields. - AngelRio, 2009 February 26
  • In a site with a yield of 3 garlic, 4 beehives were constructed. I allowed time for the hives to gain queens. No change in yield. -Sesnut, 2009 February 27

Flora

  • Tried growing near Royal Cactus. It was crazy, attempted around 2:10am (4535, 6996) Pyramid Lake Minos 15:47, 17 December 2008 (EST)

Water

  • Proximity to water makes no difference. Growing around 1:40am (4582, 6858) Pyramid Lake Minos 15:34, 17 December 2008 (EST)
  • Dead in the middle of the desert makes as much difference and by that I mean none. Around 2:30am (4616, 7205) Pyramid Lake Minos 15:55, 17 December 2008 (EST)

Skills

  • Mackena spoke with Teppy and he hinted at the ecology skill (not the soil quality, the skill itself) having an effect on all veggie yields. Any notices with this? --Tobel 15:51, 17 December 2008 (EST)

Growth Method

  • Attempted a "pumping" growth, where the plant is allowed to grow up to harvest status and then reduced to initial size and then back to harvest. Around 1:40pm (4578, 6934)
2 Cycles: No difference.
3 Cycles: No difference.

Ecology?

At Ecology 1, all yields are 1 everywhere for me. Minos 15:57, 17 December 2008 (EST)

At Ecology 2, tried several spots and yields stayed 1:1. Ecology might increase yield for spots that give more than 1:1? Hepnezr

Seed production

I have consistent seed production. Cook any meal in your kitchen. Eat it, and clean the cookpot. The next garlic plant you harvest will produce at least one extra seed. The more bases the food has, the more seeds are produced, cooking 2 with 2 bases, yields 3 seeds, limited by level of Cooking skill. My test was with 'junk' food that didn't stat enhance. The cooking itself isn't what does it. It's the eating/cleaning part. <Menhotep> / <Corrans>

Something changed?

I was growing garlic in my normal spot which normally gives a yield of 1 but to day i just gave me a yield of 8! Has this happened to anyone else? rwindmtg 11:27, 22 March 2009 (EST)

I just planted 3 seeds outside my compound, and got 8 garlic out of each seed and 5 seeds out of the first one I harvested. ixnay 20:10, 30 March 2009 (EST)
