Creating a Mission Reputation Formula

You would need to send two missions like these:
One showing the information of the mission:
And one showing the scores and number of other players:
Two screenshots will be required by those, but if you would like to send them to me through a personal message, I think it's not necessary to cover the names.
Players are also welcome to help provide information about creating model formulas as I do not know that much about it. I plan to create a large data set soon that anyone can access to see if anyone can spot some things that will help.
These are some things that will need to be investigated whether they affect the formula or not:
Harvest amounts of other players - From previous observations, it appears that the harvest amount does not affect the amount of points a player receives unless it changes the ranking within a mission but it is not confirmed. (This does not affect the reputation point amount.)
Reaching the minimum harvest amount - I am currently unsure whether harvesting something but not enough to be registered as being active in the mission affects the amount players receive based on their rank. (This does affect the number of players. You have to harvest to the minimum amount and the players that do not will be treated when calculating the number of players in the mission.)
One player missions - These may be treated as coming last in any other mission but I have heard reports that suggest otherwise so this will need to be investigated. (This appears to count as coming third.)
Update: The behaviour of the points below is somewhat known now. Thanks to some additional information that has been provided, I will be looking at whether there is some base amount for the mission and some other parts are added on based on your ranking to determine the base reputation point amount.
Here is the current data. I will try to fix it up and add more information over time.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Coming last gets ~1 RP/pig. A multiplier is applied to this for the higher positions before the various bonuses are applied. The math was not perfect, there were some minor anomalies, but it might give you a start :¬)
I am wondering if the relationship between the reputation points and the harvest amount may be logarithmic. But I guess we can see that over time.
for 2nd of 5 a harvest of 2950 gave 5 points/pig whilst a harvest of 4045 gave 4.74 points/pig.
The amount of reputation points you receive in a mission by yourself is greater than the amount of reputation points received when coming last in a mission.
Edit: Bufo (AU1) has informed me that it is equivalent to coming last in a 3 player mission. Coming in last place also gives different amounts compared to how many players have reached the minimum amount.
Place taken || Amount taken || Base RP result

1 || 2000 || 10378
2 || 2000 || 6928
3 || 2000 || 5178
4 || 2000 || 4328
5 || 2000 || 3928
Unfortunately, I have a feeling that not much will be done about the WOF because GGS earns a huge amount of money from players purchasing tokens to use on it.
I am not sure how would they calculate reputation points. There are 6 person but none of them are active except for me...

It is appearing that the harvest amount is based on the rank and independent on how many players harvest in the mission. Like if you finish 3rd, you will get the same amount regardless of whether 3, 4, 5 or 6 players harvested something in the mission.
So instead I have taken another alternative which is probably not as nice but can still work reasonably well. It is to plot the harvest amount and scores and then to fit a polynomial function that minimises the residuals. I have tested this with one item and it has worked very well with less than 1% error at the moment. There are a few potential downsides such as the fact that it needs to be calculated separately depending on the rank that you finish the mission in, it needs a lot of data to be able to get a very accurate idea of the ranking and some of those scores will be somewhat impossible to get (eg. getting rank 6 with 10k wildflowers) and it may be affected by the difficulty to collect the data of some points which may affect the function.
Of course I know that many players would struggle to calculate these types of things so ideally I would get some sort of format where a player can put in an expected harvest amount and it would give the expected score depending on the different ranking possibilities.
But at least this is another step towards being able to predict the amount of reputation points we can receive from missions.
