This is a guide about results when breeding plants depending on their tiers. This guide assumes you are familiar with terms such as: Cross-Pollinate, Tier, and Breed. For definitions of the four tiers and examples of seeds, see sfrose's wonderful seed catalog

Once you've read that, you should understand this guide.
This is sorta a guideline of what tiers you should cross-pollinate to get others.
You start out with only Tier 1s. A Tier 1 cross-pollinated with another tier 1 will give you a tier 1 or a tier 2. You won't get very far with just tier 1s, so try and get some tier 2s. Before you have level 2 soil, experiment with breeding tier 2s together. A tier 2 and another tier 2 will give you s tier 2 or a tier 1. Don't breed a tier 1 and a tier 2 until you have level 2 soil. A tier 1 + a tier 2 will ALWAYS equal a tier 3. Once you have tier 3s, there are lots of more possibilities, but beware. Sometimes, you may cross-pollinate two tiers and wind up with something that's a lower tier than both of them, for example: A tier 4 plus a Tier 3 can equal a tier 1 in some occasions. Here is a basic outline:
Tier 1 + Tier 1 = Tier 1 or 2
Tier 1 + Tier 2 = Tier 3 ONLY
Tier 1 + Tier 3 = Tier 1, 2, or 3
Tier 1 + Tier 4 = Tier 1, 2, 3, or 4
Tier 2 + Tier 2 = Tier 1 or 2
Tier 2 + Tier 3 = Tier 1, 2 or 3
Tier 2 + Tier 4 = Tier 1, 2, 3, or 4
Tier 3 + Tier 3 = Tier 1, 2, or 3
Tier 3 + Tier 4 = Tier 1, 2, 3, or 4
Tier 4 + Tier 4 = Tier 4 ONLY

Enjoy,
- Jazzo (and sfrose, for making the seed catalog.

I wish someone would do a Tier-Soil-Game Difficulty Guide.

For example:

One thing I realised, while helping several people with games, is in easy mode, sometimes it's not so smooth, for example a certain tier 3 tier 2 survives to maturity in l2 soil, and another tier 3 tier 2 does not. I have done many tests, of course only in easy mode, and have somewhat been able to determine it for some plants. but not all.

Hey, Jazzo, has sfrose got any more guides or info like the one you just directed me to? I'm sure I saw a mention of sfrose's pocket guide somewhere but can't find the reference now.

They are in the Guides Section (probably on the second page, if you are using the forum display defaults).

I can't see the sfrose's pocket guide anymore. I know it was in the PT Guide but it seems that it disappeared and I didn't find it with the "search"

There is a link to it in my first post.

I know the Seeds Catalogue, but I'm speaking of the sfrose's pocket guide I'm pretty sure it was in the guide section!

oh, it is, on page two.

Thanks! I was looking with an other title in my mind!
