[3.28] The NUT Harvest Astrolabe Map (52K Total Juice, 23K Yellow) -- Setup in Description

Like and Subscribe, it helps a lot :)

You can absolutely get higher results with better luck of quant altars / # of plots / harvest rolls / even crazier astrolabe mods. I hit 30K yellow juice a few maps prior to this one. I just started recording this one since I knew it was going to be BIG.

0:00 Setup + Map 2:29 First Harvest 5:34 Mirage Harvest 6:19 15K Juice from 1 Plot!

NOTE: THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN. The strategy is juicy, but this map + astrolabe mods were exceptional.

We're fishing for good modifiers from the Harvest Astrolabe. NO CROP ROTATION OR CORNUCOPIA. Bog is the astrolabe map of choice due to bottom-left vault + # of map connections, but there are other options like Fields. I'll usually "trim" maps with only one connection using an atlas tree without Synthesized Stability. From there, I focus on maps that have 1 of 3 mods:

1. (Best mod by far) Tier 2 Harvest Seeds in Area have (10—15)% chance to be upgraded to Tier 3
2. (meh by itself, GIGA alongside #1) Seeds in Area are at least Tier 2
3. (Solid boost to gains) Harvest Crops in your Maps have (20—40)% increased chance to contain Tier 3 Plants

I try my best to preserve maps with 1+ of these mods down to a map with 2+ connections and swap to Synthesized Stability. If I ever hit mods 1+2, I immediately run that map with Synthesized Stability regardless of connections. This map hit ALL THREE alongside some other solid multipliers. Also had 3 other maps with 1+2 in this astrolabe chain. If I do hit mods 1+2 (maybe 1 per 15 astrolabes), I run the mats below:

• T16.5 8Mod with 3 [+pack size] suffixes (can do prefixes too) -- sniped for 1D, 2 mods much more reasonable (~175c)
• 1x Harvest Doubling 3x Mortal Frags 1x Sinistral (Dextral if prefixes)

The Sinistral / Dextral scarabs are used to double the effect of added pack size, which pushes this map's Pack Size to a whopping 168% (188% in the Mirage lmao). These maps are very rare, so it's more realistic to use 1-2 pack size mod maps most of the time. I just brought out the big guns for the crazy Astrolabe mod hit.

I'll also run this setup if I at least hit mod #1, but I'll just do 1 [+pack size] prefix / suffix map to save on costs (~40c).

Other people may argue to use full mirage maps to ensure the Harvest gets doubled by Mirage (~85% chance given my experience), but I like to play dangerously :)

Lots of micromanaging / decision making on the fly, which I understand some people would rather swallow a knife. However, I've found it a lot of fun, and it's a strat I continually get better / more efficient at. and when you hit you HIIIIIT
