Resource/Loot Generation for the "Stone" Resource Type

Configuration Overview

For the "stone" resource type, loot generation is governed by a sophisticated set of rules detailed within the LootTables. A player's interaction with resource entities can yield both "stone" and "iron", incorporating elements of certainty and chance to enhance gameplay dynamics.

Fixed Loots

Each contact with a resource precipitates the acquisition of 1 to 2 stones, courtesy of a randomized function (math.random(1, 2)). This ensures a consistent drop of stone, with variation only in the quantity per interaction.

Probability Loots

Beyond the guaranteed loot, there exists a certainty (100% probability) of obtaining iron with each interaction. The quantity of iron, fluctuating between 1 to 3 units, is subject to random determination, supplementing the loot mechanism with an element of unpredictability, albeit with assured drops.

Multiplicative Factors

Loot quantities can be further influenced by a loot multiplier, adjustable per tool in the GatherTools table. This multiplier, scaling from the base rate, allows for dynamic adjustments to resource yields, influencing both fixed and probability-based loots.

Expected Outcomes for 4 Hits

Considering a scenario with 4 hits to a resource:

• Stones: Anticipated yield ranges from 4 to 8 stones, directly correlating to the fixed loot mechanism.

• Iron: Every hit guarantees iron due to 100% probability, projecting total iron loot to span between 4 and 12 units.

Conclusion

Achieving 5 stones and 7 iron after 4 interactions aligns with the expectation set by the configured loot generation mechanism. Such a configuration underscores a balance between predictability in resource type and variability in quantity, enriching the gaming experience through dynamic resource gathering.
