Nice job rephrasing what I said and twisting it against me… We both said the same thing you just made it suit your argument…
The RNG % is what it is… Thus higher percentage items will be more common thus less valuable… We both said the same thing the economy works itself out based on availability…
But I prefer a volatile economy meaning some things are more common and some are more rare…
What you want would make things less rare and everything at a whole would come closer to having the same value… and to me this is not good for the economy it makes it bland…
Oh golly, I’m so sorry. I had absolutely meant to phrase things to perfectly fit the way you see the world, but I seem to have gotten it all wrong… /sarcasm.
That’s funny, because in my mind, an economy where Resource X is always expensive and where Resource Y is always cheap is the opposite of volatile, and is in fact more bland. But each to his own, I suppose…
Technically speaking, the RNG is a percent based drop, it’s an amount that drops, if you kill an enemy X amount of times you are, by average, gonna’ get a certain amount of an item.
If you make it a fixed drop rate, you can achieve the exact same thing
Just make’it so the item drops in quantity equal to the previous drop rate, but it always drops now, so never any frustration’
Example. 10 minutes killin’ enemy gets 10 bones average, or, 10 minutes gets 10 bones exactly. You can adjust’ the numbers to make it so~
Hmm, lemm’ try an explain it differently. It’s alllll probability and averages.
Righ’ now, if I spend 100 minutes chopping trees, the amount of sap/trunks I get are gonna’ be roughly equal to their percent drop rate, right? So if trunks drop at 60%, and sap drops at 40%, after 100 minutes I’ll have around 60 trunks, 40 saps? That’s how RNG works. It’s averages.
The longer you do something, the closer you are to the intended percent for RNG.
Regarding volatility:
If I could always get trunks from a tree with a certain tool, after 100 minutes I’d have 100 trunks. But that means I’d have 0 sap, which means the price of sap would INCREASE in the market, right? This would actually increase volatility in the market because every person wouldn’t end up with 60 trunks n’ 40 sap every’ time. You could flood the market with trunks, or flood it with sap, but you can’t ever do that righ’ now because it’s always split a certain way with the RNG.
Regarding your other point:
I wasn’ suggestin’ the rarest of items always drop, just basic, but If it’s too easy to get really rare items because you can get them every time, you can just increase the cost to craft em’ to balance it out
Bone has never been a problem. lol You know how much I have dumped because I got sick of looking at over 10,000 bones? It doesn’t take long before you have very little use for the things. Everyone else has them too, so, the value is pretty near zero. Certainly not worth the effort of trying to sell.
On testing I have water all around me. Dumb critters like to drown themselves. I hop in the water every now and then and collect drops from them. I get plenty of meat and bones. So, I had more than enough for storage blocks long before I ever killed anything or even had a furnace to make glue with. I had lots of bones and meat sitting in my craft table for storage for awhile.
it was good for taking them out, quick and clean
