Am I just unlucky or are Yeast Cones and Malt Stars rarer than Starch Nuts?

[CobaltNinja]

been playing for a while now and i have noticed that despite my significant quantity of starch nuts (over 100), i can't really seem to find any yeast cones or malt starts. am i just unlucky or is there something else going on

Sometimes yeast cones feel uncommon, but when I see them:

RNG. Everything is RNG.

Starch Nuts are definitely more numerous than the other beer seeds. Which is a shame because those nuts aren't used in as much abundance when purchasing those drinks. Only one of them exclusively uses Starch Nuts and it's the one that knocks you out immediately.

Yeah, but how else are you gonna get sober? By drinking a leaf lovers like some common Elf?!

It would be nice to have another drink that exclusively uses starch nuts so that we can spend them more quickly. Both the Malt Stars and Yeast Cones have two drinks that only uses them apiece, ones that can be used consecutively without passing out. Such an addition would be a nice change of pace from constantly drinking Mactera Brews, Gut Wreckers, and Blacklock Lagers.

(I still wish we could just flat-out sell beer seeds. I have so many of them collecting dust)

Yeah, to be fair; I have SO many more Strach Nuts than anything else.

I'm in the same situation: below 500 for both the Cones and the Stars, around 600 for the Bulbs and over 2000 for them bloody Starch Nuts .

Not a big deal at all, but I would not mind it if a way to sell beer ingredients was to be introduced.

It's one reason why I simply never grab any beer seeds aside from the Barley Bulbs. I especially avoid Starch Nuts for this reason.

When brew materials were added, Yeast Cones were the hardest to come by for me and Starch Nuts were everywhere. But at that same time, others were complaining about Starch Nuts and having an overflow of Yeast Cones. Or Malt Stars not existing.

I'm confident that it was - and continues to be - just random being random.

If it really was 'just random being random' it would eventually even out.
But from my and my friends' experience (and even on the screenshot posted here), although the Malt Stars and Yeast Cones do even out, you still end up having more Starch Nuts than the former 2 combined.
So no, it's not random being random, Starch nuts are indeed more common than the others.

That's not how probability works. A quarter has a 50% chance of landing on heads. If I flip it 50 times and it lands on heads 50 of those times, that doesn't mean its next 50 flips are going to be on tails to even out.

You and your friends are not a wide enough sample size to make a definitive determination. It can suggest a pattern, but when others provide conflicting reports that should also factor into your considerations.

The fact that other people see results that are completely opposite from what you or I may experience, or results where their brewing mats are relatively even, suggests that it is simply random.

They are rarer. Don't worry, you'll end up with too much of those anyway.

If I remember correctly, I have ~4000 Yeast Cones and Malt Stars, but ~8000 Starch Nuts.

It has something to do with spawn rates and number per spawn.

I'm not seeing any conflicting reports in this thread though. It's entirely people saying starch nuts are the most common, nobody with lots of stars/cones. I know I see way more nuts than the other types.
