TOPIC: How does the Item'O'Matic works exactly?

How does the Item'O'Matic works exactly? 6 years 10 months ago #653840

I have been wondering and if possible I'd like to get developpers or at least SA/HA answers about that ( And not peoples just making assumptions ) about how it actualy works.

Does the bar you charge with items only influence the chance you have to get an item instead of a broken computer part or does it ALSO influence the quality of the loot you can get?

If so does that mean that there is some items you cannot get or have extremely low chance to get depending on how much you have charged the item'o'matic bar?

Because I just do not believe that out of 80 succesfull attempt I would get 35 diamond printers, 10 black diamond printers, 10 special cars BP and 25 port emps. I can understand not getting the nano suits and scan master ( Tough some people say they got both with only 3 C4 ). But not getting a single 2.0 bp or even HC bp in 80 attempts?

Are there treshold that need to be reached to " unlock " next level blueprints? Does it go like :

Diamond printer > Black diamond printer > Special car BP > Port EMP bp > HC/2.0 bp > 2.0/HC bp > Nano suit > scan master or something?

I would really appreciate if other peoples could also use this topic to tell me what they got so far with how many attempts and what items they used as a comparision to my own luck.

From experience all you really need to do is get into the yellow bar; the red bar is just useless and the green bar will often give you shit items compared to those you invested. Craftable items matched with uranium seems to be the best bet unless you have a ton a blueprint spare.	Zarp Trusted Offline Banned its mango Posts: 2032 Thanks received: 847 Karma: -20

Yes but for instance out of let's say 50 attempts how many 2.0/HC/Nano suit/Scan master did you get?

I must have used a total of at least 2,500 C4's and 400 M202's.

For the C4's, I do 2 C4's one golden ore, while I use 1 M202 and 2 golden ores.

The C4's have given me 5 ScanMasters, while the M202's have given me none.

However, the M202's have given me much better Blueprints, based on my calculations if you use 1 M202 and 2 golden ores theres a 95% chance you will get a 2.0/GPP/HC/PortableEMP, unlike the C4's, which barely give me good blueprints.

It all comes down to how much you're willing to invest into Uranium.

Could you tell me how many of each BP you got? See if that compares to how many port emps I got compared to 2.0 and HC.

I've sold most, but I started saving them up starting Tuesday, so far, I got as follows:

23 Minigun 2.0's
25 Portable EMP's
16 GPP's
25 Hand Cannons
32 Special Car

Those are all Blueprints of course, I've been selling the Diamond and Black Diamond printers.

This is exactly why I believe my item'o'matic to be rigged or glitched. The odds for me to get 25 port emps without a single 2.0/GPP/HC bp are just way too high for it to be " random ". There has to be a problem or something. Because I litteraly only ever get port emp bps.
