A couple of questions about the new atlas

Hi there...
Some things in the new atlas confuse me, maybe someone can help.

1. Crop rotation. First: Does anyone know, how high the "chance to upgrade the tier of plants of other colours" are? Second: The points that raise the chance to get tier 3 and 4 harvests are useless if I put crop rotation in, right? If so, it is really annoying that I have to take them anyway, just to reach the endpoint that gives a chance for unchosen crops not to whilt.

2.timeless conflict. If I take this, any points that lengthen the legions duration are useless too, right? Then it is again very irksome that to reach it, I have to allocate points to duration increase.

3. Endless tide. First it says "beyond portals cannot spawn unique bosses", but below that it says "BPs and demons stop spawning after a unique beyond boss is spawned"...??? That's a contradiction, no? Either this is the worst wording ever, or I'm missing something. And: It also lessens the merging radius of the portals. Why would anyone take this, what's the upside here?

For point 3.

The grayed out text in parenthesis is just there to add info about the mechanic, telling you that beyond monsters stop spawning after a unique beyond boss spawns. The node lets you remove the possibility of a unique beyond boss spawning so that the beyond monsters can keep spawning throughout the whole map. I don't see how it's badly worded at all.

And since most upsides also has downsides in this game, it also has less merging radius to make up for the fact that you will get more beyond monsters in your maps now. If this is worth it or not is up to the individual. There are other nodes that increase the merging radius as well.

Ok, makes sense now, thanks
