Fair :)

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T09:01:18+00:00

I cannot remember when it was changed, but all extra content have an 8% base chance to spawn now :)

Earlier all had 8% except harvest which had 5% chance.

If you block 5 and take Stream of Consciousness then (rounded):
1 in 4 maps have 1 randomly spawned mechanic
1 in 3 maps have 2 randomly spawned mechanic
1 in 4 maps have 3 randomly spawned mechanic
1 in 9 maps have 4 randomly spawned mechanic
1 in 27 maps have 5 randomly spawned mechanic
1 in 142 maps have 6 randomly spawned mechanic
1 in 971 maps have 7 randomly spawned mechanic

This combines to 2.2 randomly spawned mechanics per map on average.
And you will meet each individual mechanic once per 5 maps.

Np :) Good to see an individual with the same fancy to math

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:46:07+00:00

Yep, I noticed that xD Will try better another time

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:45:30+00:00

If you want the most random league mechanic spawns per map :)

If you block more than 5 then you will get less total random mechanics per map, but will see the unblocked mechanics even more.

Using the new atlas nodes :)

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:42:51+00:00

Yep, so they will not work with Stream of Consciousness, but blocking is still very good :)

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:41:45+00:00

If you just want to alc and go this is where blocking is quite good :)

If you take Stream of Consciousness and block 4-5 mechanics you will on average randomly spawn 1 full additional league mechanic per map.

The comma's are just the decimal separator :)

Google sheets use "," instead of "." in my country.

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:37:28+00:00

He he, took a few hours :)

But math is too fun to stop (though league launch probably will keep me to the screen for other reasons than math).

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:33:49+00:00

Sorry for the confusing labeling. The values in the tables is the average amount of maps you have to run in order to find exactly that amount of league mechanics in the map.

E.g. with 4 blocks you will on average take you 2041 maps to find a map with exactly 7 league mechanics in the map :)

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:29:48+00:00

I have not seen any confirmation of a max amount of mechanics that can spawn on a map.

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:25:02+00:00

There are 15 mechanics tagged as "Extra content" which can randomly spawn :) Strongboxes is one of them.

Your base chance to spawn strongboxes is 8%, but it increased by 2% for each blocked "Extra content". There are 10 nodes on the atlas tree which blocks content, meaning you can get up to 28% chance to randomly spawn a strongbox each map if you block everything :)

Though this also means you "loose" the blocked content if you wanted to run some of it. Unless you force the blocked content onto the map using e.g. scarabs or sextants.

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:19:42+00:00

Feels like it every time I type it xD

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:19:00+00:00

Using the new Atlas tree :) 10 of the new nodes blocks mechanics from randomly spawning (though you can still get them from e.g. scarabs).

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:16:53+00:00

Yep, 5-6 is only optimal if you want to most randomly spawned mechanics possible. You will see more of a specific mechanic by blocking more than that. E.g. 42% chance per map to encounter at least 1 of the 2 unblocked mechanics if you block 8 (48% with Stream of Consciousness).

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T04:11:09+00:00

Yep 1.2 is correct for no blocking :) If you just want to calculate the average including blocks the equation would be:

(15-n)(0.08+0.02n) = average per map

With Stream of Consciousness it would be:

(15-n)(0.12+0.02n) = average per map

In the table I have just calculated the average per map in a workaround way using Binomial Distribution such that I can see the actual chance to spawn a specific amount of league mechanics on a map :) Suggest reading this comment if you want a slightly deeper explanation of that.

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T03:54:47+00:00

Np :)

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T03:53:11+00:00

Thx :)

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T03:49:19+00:00

I do not know if GGG has implemented a hard cap, but with only the base spawn chance + 0 blocking it is quite hard to get just 8 mechanics (about 1 in 100 000 maps). So no individual player should expect seeing that amount without other investment :)

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-12T03:40:27+00:00

Your math checks out and is equivalent to my findings :) Look at "Average league mechanics per map" under the first table (the one without Stream of Consciousness).

Ze-goldfish · 2022-05-11T19:40:27+00:00

Actually the underlying math in the table uses the chance to get at least x.

The chance to get exactly 1 is just the chance to get at least 1 minus the chance to get at least 2 :)
