Troubling Statistics part 2: Loot Luck is weird

Hey, yall

Last week I posted the following results from looting 3 black ox beetles with different sources of loot luck. It returned the very strange result that 4 stacks of luck was worse than 3 stacks for farming cones.

I followed your suggestions and repeated this for the broodmother. This time, I was smart and hardworking enough to bring a second stuffed bug so I could try every permutation of loot luck, from 0 stacks to 4 stacks (i don't have an infused weapon with loot luck yet).

This was done in NG+2. You get MORE WAFFLES and MORE TRINKETS with 2 stacks of loot luck than with 3 or 4 stacks. Isn't that weird? At least the cones and BM ooze behaved normally. I will repeat this experiment when the new test branch that gives 30k+ raw science per boss is merged with the released game.
