Random effects of Science Trinkets explained

This guide explains every possible effect the Science Crinkle, Science Waffle and Science Cone Trinkets can have.

Introduction

This guide explains every possible effect the Science Crinkle, Science Waffle and Science Cone Trinkets can have in alphabetical order. All information are taken from the Grounded Fandom, I just wanted to have it more accessible in-game so I made this guide. Keep in mind that not every effect can appear on a Science Crinkle or Waffle. If anything's wrong, you got additional information you think should be added or I simply made a typo, feel free to let me know.

[ALsoRan]

An update on my last comment: I just got a Glowbasa Necklace with Fall Defense on it, which leads me to believe that Science Cones can also spawn with that effect. Apparently the wiki's omission of it on the Science Cone page was erroneous.

Another thing worth pointing out: the wiki lists 3 different versions of the Arrow Refund effect, with chances of 10%, 20%, or 30% for bows and crossbows to not consume ammo. They all have the same name, but 3 different degrees of effect. I'm assuming that, like the Minor/Major/Best variations of other effects, only the weakest one can appear on Crinkles, the weakest one and the middle one can appear on Waffles, and all 3 can appear on Cones.

[ALsoRan]

I can't help but notice that Fall Defense isn't on your list. The wiki doesn't include it in the list of possible Science Cone effects, but it's listed as possible for the Science Waffle. I was hoping I could find an answer as to whether that was an oversight on the part of the wiki editors, or whether Fall Defense truly can't appear on Cones.
