Ginger Island?

Do Lightning Rods work on the Ginger Island farm? Is lightning even a risk there? --Bladeoflight16 (talk) 02:19, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Just checked, and while there are 3 responses (sun, rain, storm) coded for the TV in TV::getIslandWeatherForecast there seem to only be 2 possible weathers on ginger island: 0 (sunny) and 1 (rain - 24% chance) (Game1::SetOtherLocationWeatherForTomorrow). So, no lightnings on the island. Dubesor (talk) 10:51, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Lightning rod error?

On the page, it gives an equation to find out the chance of a rod being struck by lightning. The equation is here:

1 - (charges rods / total rods)

One of the examples shows this:

50% of the rods are charged, so that means there is a 75% chance of one being struck.

So let's do the math, with an example number of rods.

1 - (5 charges rods / 10 total rods)

1- (0.5) = 50%

Am I missing something that makes 75% correct? If it's a mistake on my part, then I apologize.
