stample Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Can't comment on whether you can get two. I suspect that's from the bonuses of Motherload, and see no reason it couldn't give it to you. But I doubt its 5% per hit, else you'd get one nearly every time cut down a tree with a stone ax or chainsaw. Might even resort to punching! Its not entirely relatable, but I had the same question about getting radiators and engines and batteries from cars after an extremely unlucky run of 20+ cars with no engines using a T6 impact driver. So I went to creative, spawned in 40 cars, and pulled them apart with a modded super-driver that 1-shot each level of the car, then repeated with a Q1 wrench. It's not a statistically significant test, but I did get with 1-2 results from each run, out of all three types: batteries engines, radiators. In fact, it was so close, it was almost suspicious. In any case, I determined (to my own satisfaction) that I got the appropriate number of special items regardless of how many hits it took to get through each layer of the car. That tells me they determine it at some point, but I'm not sure when. Last hit? First hit? What if someone else hits the car first, then I do? Does it even matter? Does the game store that decision in case I don't tear it down, and then log out, and the server restarts? Why do I even care, since I normally have more than I need of each of them? Because, I just do!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"44 firearm" book series for instance. The Vulture is a magnum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says 5% in the block.xml <drop event="Harvest" name="foodHoney" prob=".05" count="1" tag="WasteTreasuresHoneyHarvest"/> I guess I didn't get 2 from one tree, but i did one time cut down about 6 and ended up with 3 honey 😕 Edited October 26, 2020 by FranticDan (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechanicalLens Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 @Laynie According to other forum members here, the XMl's state that every time you hit a tree it's a 5% chance that you'll get one honey, although I'm unsure if it's limited to one honey per tree or not, although I find this to be the more likely scenario. So if you want to extract the maximum amount per harvest, use a chainsaw vs a steel axe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, using a chainsaw would be a far more efficient solution of potentially extracting more honey anyway. If it takes longer to down a tree, and if the XML is designed in that favor, then you'd theoretically get more honey via time spent chopping or per hit vs a steel axe which only requires a couple hits / a few seconds to down said tree. If it's 5% per tree at random selection (i.e. this tree will give you honey, this one will not), then it literally would not matter if you used a fully modded level 6 steel axe or your bare fists. Of course though with it being such a low percentage chance you'd have to chop down thousands of trees to get accurate test results back. One experiment would be how much honey did you get on average by hitting 300 HP trees vs 1200 HP trees with the same tool, although such an experiment would obviously still raise a lot of questions.
