Huge Seedling

If you win a huge seedling, is the decor type based on the location of the mushroom? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 73.42.172.128 • (talk) • (contribs)

I asked someone who's researched things like this, and the answer is yes. That should probably be documented; thanks for asking! — Soprano_(talk) 03:23, June 21, 2022 (EDT)

Release 48 changes to scoring?

Since the Pikmin strength numbers were added to the list, I’ve had a few mushroom challenges not match the table in Scoring, e.g. 840 strength on a large yellow should get 2* (threshold 832) but only got me 1*; normal blue 740 was 2* not 3 (table 731). I guess they made them tougher? RupW (talk) 23:00, July 9, 2022 (EDT)

Some threads on Reddit:

It's already been worked out what's going on here – it's a problem with rounding. All the individual Pikmin attack strengths (the ones displayed next to each one) are rounded up to the next whole number. Then, the total attack strength at the top of the screen is the sum of all the rounded-up values. This causes the displayed value to be much higher than it was before. However, this new higher value isn't used for calculating score and time – the old value is. This means that the attack strength shown in-game is no longer an accurate indication of how strong the squad is. I've been thinking for a couple of days on what the best way to explain that in the article is, but I haven't worked it out yet, and I won't have much time to edit in the next few days. — Soprano_(talk) 23:56, July 9, 2022 (EDT)

OK, thanks. Where was this worked out? Where should I read for Pikmin research?

I've added a short note for now. Feel free to replace with something better. RupW (talk) 08:35, July 11, 2022 (EDT)

This appears to be corrected in Release 49: yellow decor pikmin with rare flowers vs yellow mushroom = 22.56 each; for 36 selected the game shows me strength 813 =22.56x36 rounded up, not 23x36. RupW (talk) 05:21, July 14, 2022 (EDT)

Thanks for documenting this! I've made a few improvements now that the bug is fixed. Just letting you know that on Pikipedia we tend to use "update" or "version" to describe software versions rather than "release", and it's helpful to readers to use consistent language for these things. Also, you can see some of the research people are doing on the community Discord server (link on the Main Page). — Soprano_(talk) 18:30, July 15, 2022 (EDT)
