Basic Collection Equation

Whether mining, gathering or scavenging, each collection method uses a basic equation.

The Equation

chance = Item_drop_rate * 100000;
x = random.randomint(1, 100001);
if  x <= chance; 
    Success

An item with a 0.1 drop rate has a 1 in 10 chance. If X is less than 10,000, you succeed.
An item with a 0.01 drop rate has a 1 in 100 chance. If X is less than 10,000, you succeed.
An item with a 0.001 drop rate has a 1 in 1,000 chance. If X is less than 100, you succeed.
An item with a 0.0001 drop rate has a 1 in 1,0000 chance. If X is less than 10, you succeed.
An item with a 0.00001 drop rate has a 1 in 100,000 chance. If X is less than 1, you succeed.
