I was playing a combat focused run recently and I noticed i was getting a decreased amount of loot as biter tier increase.
After looking through the code it seems like tierMultipliers is not applied to the biter loot table.
In BiterUtlis.lua, line 1287:
[code]
if artifact_table[artifactDrop].mover then
lootTables.biterLoot = {
[1] = {{ item = alienOre1, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.5 }},
[2] = {{ item = alienOre1, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 1}},
[3] = {{ item = alienOre1, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 1}, { item = alienOre2, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.25}},
[4] = {{ item = alienOre1, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 1}, { item = alienOre2, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.5}},
[5] = {{ item = alienOre1, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.5}, { item = alienOre2, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 1}},
[6] = {{ item = alienOre2, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 1}, { item = alienOre3, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.25}},
[7] = {{ item = alienOre2, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.5}, { item = alienOre3, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.5}},
[8] = {{ item = alienOre3, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 1}, { item = alienArtifact, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.25}},
[9] = {{ item = alienOre3, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.5}, { item = alienArtifact, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.5}},
[10] ={{ item = alienOre3, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 0.5},{ item = alienArtifact, count_min = 1, count_max = count_max, probability = 1}},
}
end
[/code]
worm loot and spawner loot seems to apply the tier multiple properly in the loot table.
