[2022] Lootbugs. Do they really boost minerals they eat?

On the Wiki it states that every mineral they consume gets multiplied by a factor of 1,5x. Means if i am not completely broken in my head if it comes to math. Lootbug eats 10 Gold and uppon popping the Lootbug, he will release 15 Gold instead of just the 10 he consumed.

I tested that a bit. Tried to leave minerals laying around. Knowing somewhat how much Lootbugs release on death by default on average and then looking at the entire minerals they have eaten during the mission, it looked more like everything disappeared into a void and they only released the average they have by default. So nothing was really added.

Does anyone else have some data on this? An official word? Datamined some stats? Run a lot more tests?

I am asking this because i want to know if i should return to my old "Shoot on sight, ask questions later." or trying the new approach. "Let them feast and reap bigger rewards afterwards."

Since right now it looks more like some troll put that on the Wiki to either mess with people in general or as an act of revenge being some Lootbuglover.

Rock and Stone my brothers.
