Okay, it took me 11 Runs with 6 characters in order to finally get RectumScan with one of them and I am lucky as sin since it was my Hacker that got it and despite it being a .moar that only appears on Denture Chat, it happens to be the best program file for Hackers out there right now. Given that you only get it in a forum where you don’t even have the spider yet, I’d say that makes sense and makes me doubt that the Pink Floyd file is as bad as the wiki says that it is.
Anyways, this thread has been updated with my runs (WAY TOO MANY!!!) and here is my interpretation of it all.
Don’t worry at all about Luck for the most part…
Sure, if you’re grinding a thread for that elusive file pump it up, that is if it actually helps, but while simply going through the game those points are better spent elsewhere. The gain to gifts and .moar files is for the most part negligible, and certainly not anything worth spending upwards of nearly 18 upgrade points on unless you have the points to spare. If you really need to save the Flezz, throwing them into Upkeep will help you more in the long run most likely since bringing that to level 20 will almost eliminate all maintenance costs. Also, despite pieces coming in some rather skewed patterns, I do not believe it to be really affected by Luck to any significant degree. This may change in other Forums but for now I think that it’s random for all intents and purposes.
Here are my figures for the effects of Luck in Denture Chat excluding the specific pieces.

Now if I combine the Luck ranges that are close to each other (Low Luck being 1-25, Medium Luck being 26-50 and High Luck being 51+) and turn it into percentages of files found, I can more easily see what happens. Below is a table that shows how many of each file I found followed by it’s percent drop rate and then the drop rate based on the groupings. (Sorry about the formatting, it’s easier to see in Editing if you really care since it doesn’t remove extra spaces.)
Bat – 21 31 25 27 31 25 8.0% 11.7% 9.5% 10.2% 11.7% 9.5% 9.9% 10.5% 9.5% Goo – 11 16 34 30 25 33 4.2% 6.1% 12.9% 11.4% 9.5% 12.5% 5.2% 11.3% 12.5% I D – 8 18 22 16 27 26 3.0% 6.8% 8.3% 6.1% 10.2% 9.8% 4.7% 8.2% 9.8% Jam – 42 35 27 26 30 31 15.9% 13.3% 10.2% 9.8% 11.4% 11.7% 14.6% 10.5% 11.7% map – 19 19 27 28 25 27 7.2% 7.2% 10.2% 10.6% 9.5% 10.2% 7.2% 10.1% 10.2% my – 20 18 18 24 34 29 7.6% 6.8% 6.8% 9.1% 12.9% 11.0% 7.2% 9.6% 11.0% PEN – 117 109 60 60 45 27 44.3% 41.3% 22.3% 22.3% 17.0% 11.7% 42.8% 20.5% 11.7% Rec – 17 10 26 30 25 44 6.4% 3.8% 9.8% 11.4% 9.5% 16.7% 5.1% 10.2% 16.7% sku – 9 7 25 22 21 22 3.4% 2.7% 9.5% 8.3% 8.0% 8.3% 3.1% 8.6% 8.3%
What you can see is that some files change drastically, some not so much, and others change but only until you hit medium Luck at which point it’s basically the same as with High Luck.
Therefore I will add this to the wiki and will indicate whether or not files become possibly less common (-) definitely less common until Medium Luck (—Log in to see images!, definitely less common until High Luck (—-), possibly more common (+), definitely more common until Medium Luck (++), definitely more common until High Luck (+++) or remain about the same (=). At the same time I will have a ranking for rarity included which will show the rarity among the 3 different Luck groups.
1 – 0% – 2.5% 2 – 2.5% – 5% 3 – 5% – 7.5% 4 – 7.5% – 10% 5 – 10% – 15% 6 – 15% – 25% 7 – 25% – 40% 8 – 40% – 80% 9 – 80% – 100%
I don’t have the actual equations for anything, but this is about as accurate as I think we can get it and obviously it will take a very long time to get all of the info down, but I hope to do another Forum every 3 days until I get them all.
Finally, I think Denture Chat is going to see a lot more visits since apparently Rectum Scan is the best program currently for Hackers with +6 Defense, Charisma and Luck as well as +150 Processing Power. I am so happy that I managed to get it for my Hacker instead of anyone else during my 11 day grind-fest. |
