All of a sudden, in the last ten minutes, the amount of implings coming from tree-shaking scrimshaws have plummeted.

Silent hotfix?

Hello, this was hotfixed as previously the scrimshaw effect was rolling on every successful log chop, but with the changes to how woodcutting works behind the scenes, this was now occurring on every attempt - a much higher frequency than ever intended. We’ll be monitoring output

Edit: not correct, bird nest chance did not change with this hotfix

For clarity, this also affects birds nests in the same way. This reduction was intended, and we will be monitoring

I appreciate fixing something early than to wait but I would say monitor it closely. The imcando hatchet is probably more RNG based than the other imcando tools.

Pickaxe: guaranteed piece every hour ish at lava flow mine so about 4 hours minimum for the pickaxes.

Mattock: A piece is rolled every material gathered, and even then people had issues in going dry on pieces.

Now compare to the hatchet:

You chop a log to roll for a birds nest, then you roll to see if that birds nest is an imcando piece.

Obviously jmods have a final say but I do think if birds nest are going to remain the only way to get the hatchet pieces then maybe take a page out of the lava flow mine book and give the hatchet nests themselves some weighing to be in favor of the hatchet nests after a certain amount of time woodcutting.

I’m not sure if this has been noted elsewhere by our CM - whilst the ability to obtain them is unlocked, every nest you obtain that is not an imcando nest will reduce (make better) the roll required to get it next time

Thanks for all the feedback in this thread. I can fully sympathise with this feeling like a kick in the butt when compared to the elevated rates that were available before the hotfix, and we’ll do our best to make sure they land in a good place as quick as possible

Hi all, hopefully this isn’t lost to the depths of the thread. I’d misunderstood the changes earlier, and wasn’t aware we’d only adjusted the impling spawn rates with the scrimshaw and not the increased chance of birds nest - this is as it was at the time of the update.

Our approach doesn’t change, we are monitoring income of hatchets into the game and will make changes where necessary

Duplicating my last comment for hopefully more visibility
