The export's own estimate. The game data records no unit for it, which is why the band and the percentile beside it are the parts to compare.
- Panels
- 14 panels
- Grain directions
- Straight grain
- Grain is read from the direction each panel is laid in the export. Bias cut is the game's own per-panel flag rather than a reading of that vector, and where the two disagree this page shows both as published.
