Mecrofeeding: The Way to Chocobo Color Dyeing

[Anatha]

So since I fed a plum already, I should feed it one berry and then a final plum?

Just 1 berry.

My brain...kind of hurts ... I did that, so we'll see what I get next...

Yeah, the color map was based on the old single fruit feeding until feather proc method, when we didn't know as much and that was the best method we had at that time. After figuring out the microfeeding method we pretty much trashed all of that out and directly work with the RGB value of any given in game color.

The color map method still works, just that there are way too many traps and it isn't designed to do direct color to color adjustments.

and I still don't know what to feed this piece of crap.

Just 1 berry.

I may ask for advice depending on where I end up next. An hour and 20 minutes left until I find out what color jump it's gonna take this time...hah.

Okay so now I got Ink Blue. I'm aiming for Currant Purple. Any suggestions on how I get there? The chocobo colour calculator says I should go (3pineapples, 3plums, 4valfruit) for the original RGB scale, and (3plums, 4pineapples, 5valfruit) for the updated RGB scale. Which one should I do...unless you know of another way to get there that has a higher chance of me actually getting to currant purple? And what order should I feed the fruits? :x Sorry to be bothersome.

LMAO, since *I* came up with the updated RGB values, which option do you think I will be bias on? That said ...

Step	Feed		Qty	27	32	40
1	pineapple	2	37	42	30
2	valfruit	3	52	27	45
3@	plum		2	42	37	55
4	pineapple	1	47	42	50
5	valfruit	1	52	37	55
6	plum		1	47	42	60

To Target			5	4	1

You will be in CP zone after the 2 plums.

Haha, DERP moment. Thanks though! I'll try this out!

[Anatha]

sigh, so I have to reset it then, since I fed it a plum too

[Anatha]

I reset it, fed 1 berry 2 plums, procced on every single feed.

At this point I'm sure I'm positively screwed and am never going to get Soot Black in this situation. It's a goddamn joke and I'm honestly tired of dealing with this system, I am at the point that playing this game is no longer fun because every single time I log in it's to immediate disappointment.

6 hours from now I'm positive all I will have to report is that I'm still stuck in this **** loop, and will be resetting it to default. I don't give a crap anymore. I'm done with this run around. After that, I'll attempt to use the "reach soot black from default feed order" and when that inevitably fails I'll only wish I could kill this worthless bird because that's how done I'll be with the chocobos in this game.

I'm very confused at this point. I had celeste green and wanted to go to corpse blue. I followed the calculator and ended up with apple green. I tried again and apple green became sky blue. Tried again...sky blue is now meadow green. Far as I could tell unless I was reading the spreadsheet wrong, I didn't need to break into smaller feeding sets.
