SO I did some testing on flowers breeding over 4 days (it's not that much but I got bored)
Now the objective is to find out:
-A: Is there a better way to lay out your flowers?
-B: Do you want more flowers or more space around each flower?
Wanted to share my results so people can decide on how they want to lay out their garden, as I've personally lost alot of time trying to lay my garden in the best way possible only to get minimal results
The goal is to see if having all 16 spots around the flowers gives them more chances to breed or if the flowers touching is the changing factor
I'm going to use the word "restricted" as in these flowers didn't have every space around them available for crossbreeding
SO if you don't want to read over everything, my opinion is: it is utterly random and there isn't really any best way to lay out your flowers to increase the chance of any breeding
but more flowers seems to indicate more chances of a new offspring blooming
SO let's get to it
In order to test this I had different lay outs I was watching (I shouldn't forget to mention I had spots in which I dropped any excess flowers that did breed even though I wasn't intending them to)
-First field: Restricted random Pansies
This was to know how well a basic flower field could expand (dont mind the lilly it wasn't there until the last day)
-Second field: Restricted White pansies
-Third field: Restricted Orange tulips rows:
-Fourth field: 9 restricted pink hyacinths
--Fifth field: Restricted Orange and Pink tulips
Sixth field: Restricted white hyacinths
-Seventh field: Common restricted tulips
-Eigth field: 5x5 efficiency flower breeding as described
Last field: 9 different 3x3 squares of 4 flowers each. Some were dupes
#1 and 2 were White mums:
# 3 was white and red mums:
Continued:
#4 was white mums with a lilly-o-the=valley in the middle to test "superbreeding" on the side
#5 and 7 were white pansies
#6 was white pansies with "superbreeding"
#8 and 9 were Red pansies
Now for the results:
DAY 1:
- Restricted pansies: 1 yellow
- Restricted Orange tulips rows: 1 Orange, 1 Purple
- Restricted white hyacinths: 1 Blue
- Restricted common tulips: 2 Red
-5x5:
Mums: 3 White, 1 pink
Cosmos: 1 Orange
Hyacinths: 1 yellow
Windflowers: 1 Orange
Tulips: 1 White, 1 Pink
-3x3: #4(superbreed): 1 white mum
DAY 2:
- Restricted Orange tulip rows: 2 Orange
- Restricted 3 pink hyacinths: 1 Pink
- Restricted Orange+Pink tulips: 1 White and 1 Pink
- Restricted common tulips: 1 Red
-5x5:
Lillies: 2 Red and 1 Orange
Windflowers: 1 Pink
Pansies: 1 blue, 1 Yellow
Roses: 1 Black and 1 Pink
-3x3: #1: 1 White mum, #3: 2 Pink mum
DAY 3:
- Restricted White pansies: 2 white and 1 blue
- Restricted Orange tulip rows: 1 Orange
- Restricted Pink hyacinths: 1 White
- Restricted common tulips: 2 Red, 1 Yellow, 1 Orange
- Restricted white hyacinths: 2 Blue
-5x5:
Roses: 1 Orange
Tulips: 1 Yellow
Hyacinths: 1 Yellow
Windflowers: 1 pink and 1 Orange
Cosmos: 1 Orange
Mums: 2 White
-3x3: #3: 1 Pink mum, #9: 2 Red pansies
DAY 4:
- Restricted white pansies: 1 white
- Restricted Orange tulip rows: 2 Black and 1 Yellow
- Restricted Orange+ Pink tulips: 1 Orange
- Restricted White hyacinths: 1 Pink
-5x5:
Tulips: 1 Pink
Hyacinths: 1 Orange and 1 Blue
Mums: 2 White
-3x3: #7: 1 Blue pansie
OVERALL:
Restricted fields: 29 flowers
5x5 (restricted): 30
3x3(Maximum space available): 8
The goal was to see if having all 16 spots around the flowers would give them more chances to breed or if the flowers touching was the changing factor
So now taking a good look at these, I can confirm that the 3x3 squares with 4 flowers in them did not perform well which leads me to think that more space does not mean more opportunities for flowers breeding and that the amount of flowers touching is more important. My testing was not perfect and I'm open to anyone telling me any info they have about the subject. Thanks to anyone that read some of that!
Edit: Figured I should be adding an overall of each different types of fields used and the goal of the experiment so reading the post would make more sense.
