Forgive me, but I have absolutely no idea how a character with those types of stats could ever POSSIBLY have this as an outcome to a shooting competition:

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1640396218

This is not just a 1/100,000,000 fluke, either. It happens more times than placing "somewhere in the middle". MUCH more.

Is there a particular reason for this? Like I said, I don't mod and know nothing about code, but I do have a decent enough grasp of the English language that I could probably understand the reason.

And also like I said, love the mod. It's great. I mean, how nice is it to go to an art show and get paid three times the value of a Legendary Gold Grand Sculpture (or, in my case, pico/nano/attomachinery)? It's just this in particular frustrates the ever livin' out of me.

...maybe he was using an arotech weapon designed to take out beings in another dimension,likethere is 2 dimensional,3 dimensional,all of it physical. but what if it was supposed to shoot some sort of psychic being,that does not interact with the physical realm?

megaboto is WOKE af

It appears that the chances of each outcome are constant. That is, each outcome has a constant base weight which is then divided by a factor based on the event's "relevant stat". So far so good? Well, the problem is that each outcome is divided by the *same* factor, so the result should be that the "relevant stat" actually has no effect.

This is true of all Annual Expos. Your chances should be 20% of winning, 50% of landing in the middle, and 30% of not hitting the broad side of a barn.

I've played enough MMOs that I perfectly understand RNG, which is essential to understanding what happened.

I just wanted to point out how obscene that this particular instance is.

One would think that the weight of these events could/should be shifted based on a character's statistics. Skill, augments, health... A flat, constant percentage kinda sucks.

Also, I've never seen a win. Like, ever.

Oh hey I had something very similar just happen to me. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if the failure result didn't treat you like a total incompetent and give you a potato after showing up with a 20 skill bionic supersoldier.

Also quite frankly it makes me a little bit sad to hear that the skill of your attendees has absolutely no bearing on the result of the annual expo. I had actually been making some effort to plan out the best individuals to attend each one, guessing the relevant skills and the like.

Now I guess I'll just send whoever has nothing better to do.

Same happened to me. my "seargant" pawn with 18 in shooting and a military background missed the broad side of the barn. :D just take it as a funny easter egg event.

the RNG in rimworld is retarded, esp in combat. enemies have a much higher chance of hitting vital parts - through armor - than you do. you can have super spacemarine cyborgs that are legendary masters (20) in shootng, fully decked out with gear/archotech bionics loose against bow and flintlock enemies. because they shot an arrow through the powerarmor helmet into the brain.. :/


back2topic: i think the skill should matter..

I already have a change for the logic planned, just needs a sensible implementation.

You should really do that. Especially since the message says something to the effect of "Send your best (shot, gamer, artist), etc. when skill seems to have little to no effect.

The algorithm behind this is now completely revamped. Skills matter a lot more, and difficulty will increase as time passes.
