Loot Abundance

[GoofyStorm (Burrito)]

Does anyone else have this problem? I set loot abundance to 200%, but then it seems like 200 really means 25%.... I would kill 15 zombies, and only about 4 zombies would have loot. And half the loot of the old sham sandwhich.

Did I break something?

having it at 200% still does not affect the rarity of the items appearing. The main effect it has is it increases the QUANTITY of the item, so instead of having 1 schematic, you get 2.

Yup. Or 3-4 eggs instead of 1-2. Or thousands of feathers in no time vs. only hundreds. etc.

In terms of the odds of whether a container/zombie will have ANY loot inside (or be empty instead), I'm not entirely sure what affects that, if anything. Scavenging skill perhaps. I do feel like the higher that skill gets, the more often a container has something in it.

Oh! I never knew that, I always thought that increased the amount of loot. Like instead of 1 item, you get like 4 different things.
