Pikmin 3 uses a variable to store progression through the game. This progress value is used for lots of things, such as controlling the weather, changing object placement in areas, controlling the end-of-day voyage log, and controlling the objectives shown on the day selection menu. As the player progresses through the game's linear story, it counts upwards, sometimes in consecutive integers and sometimes in larger jumps. Multiples of 10 generally indicate a major milestone. In almost all cases, progress values are incremented by cutscenes. While they go up immediately, many of their effects are not seen until the end of the day or the next day. Progress values can also be subdivided based on certain events, and these subdivisions are generally used to make the voyage log more relevant.

The table below lists the known values and subdivisions the progress variable can hold, along with some additional information. The trigger column lists the cutscene that increments the progress value to the value on the left. The weather column indicates if that progress value has forced weather (instead of random weather), the area the forced weather occurs (in acronym form), and what the weather is (either sunny (shine), rain, or snow). The subdivision column states the subdivisions of the progress values – most have only 1 subdivision, but some have multiple, and if so, the cause of each is listed. The objective column states the objective shown on the radar in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. The table is not complete, as it is likely some values are missing from day 1, and some triggers are not known or not confirmed.

To do: Find missing or unconfirmed information, and if possible, add columns for the effects of progress values on other things. Also, elaborate exactly on how the variable works and what values it can contain. Is it a string? Is "p00" acceptable, or does it have to be "p00_01"? etc.
