Duplicate Books

Hello, I have noticed that I have never found a single book or recipe. They all come two at a time. Maybe this is known, maybe it isn't, but I figured I'd do my due diligence and post it here. I wasn't able to find a place for bug reports, or unstable alpha feedback, so I'm posting it here. Feel free to move it into an appropriate spot if this isn't it.

You have loot set to 200%?

That affects the number of items in the stack that you find. 200% of 1 is 2, so you SHOULD find 2 of each book/schematic if you have loot at 200%.

 
I do. I like things to move a bit faster during experimental simply because I know the world will be destroyed much sooner than stable due to new versions etc, however, I do not recall this ever happening before in any other version. I don't find duplicates of guns, or armor, just books and recipes.

[edit] I included a screenshot I took a moment ago while playing A18, same exact settings, but now I can find 1 book at a time.

guns and armor are individual items. iirc the loot % affects the number of items in a stack, like polymer, eggs, wood, glue, books.

and yeah, a18 it didn't work that way for some reason. I noticed day 1 in the first a18 exp that i would get one egg from birds' nests sometimes, which shouldn't be possible at 200% loot, since 200% of zero is zero and 200% of 1 is 2 lol. 

It did work the same way in a17 as it does now in a19 though.

How interesting! Well, I guess we figured it out kinda? I also noticed Prime found a single book in his A19 stream, so I suppose it must be the 200% loot causing double recipes/books. I'd always thought it simply meant abundance of loot rather than a literal doubling of select loot. Very interesting stuff.

This is correct.  It doesn't affect the ability to find something in a loot container. It only affects the stack sizes of the stack-able loot.
