The chance of a lightning strike being intercepted is inversely related to the percentage of lightning rods on your farm that are currently busy processing a lightning bolt. The exact probability is <code>chance to intercept = 1 - (number of busy lightning rods / total number of lightning rods)²</code>. That is, if none of your lightning rods are currently processing a bolt, a lightning strike is 100% guaranteed to be intercepted. If 50% of your lightning rods are processing bolts, a lightning strike has a 75% chance of being intercepted. If 90% of your lightning rods are processing bolts, a strike has only a 19% chance of being intercepted. You must have at least one lightning rod on your farm to have any chance of intercepting a strike.
The chance that a lightning strike will be intercepted is inversely related to the percentage of lightning rods on your farm that are currently holding a charge (either pulsing or holding a battery pack). The exact probability is <code>chance to intercept = 1 - (number of charged lightning rods / total number of lightning rods)²</code>. That is, if none of your lightning rods are currently holding a charge, a lightning strike is 100% guaranteed to be intercepted. If 50% of your lightning rods are charged, a lightning strike has a 75% chance of being intercepted. If 90% of your lightning rods are charged, a strike has only a 19% chance of being intercepted. You must have at least one lightning rod on your farm to have any chance of intercepting a strike.
A non-intercepted lightning strike has a base 25% chance of hitting a feature on your farm, influenced by daily luck and luck buffs.
