I'm not sure if this question I have is being worded clearly enough but here goes: Regarding the order of clicking the black flute button: Is it selecting the box for the Shelter first? Or the chained egg first? If it picks the box first, why is same chain egg showing every time? If it selects the chained egg first, then populating the box, chain hunters don't care what other eggs are there, so can the order be switched to make it less likely to grab that first egg and instead if an egg isn't in the box, whatever egg it then finds first?
This might solve the problem with the same egg being found constantly without much different coding going on? Although in my mind, the way this works actually makes me not want the change because of how likely it is of selecting boxes with other people's eggs more often and RNG adding to it failing the 50% as it is. More checking of eggs OT will be required than the current method which picks based on release time. I think I just convinced myself to vote no. Still haven't voted yet though :D
As it currently stands, it checks for chained egg first, in chronological order from oldest in the shelter, which is why the same egg shows up every time. Checking the partition first is what the question has been about, and it's been discussed that maybe instead of purely checking the partition only, it should fall back to the current method is the partition lacks an egg, which seems like a good idea of doable. Also, from what Niet has said is the plan, there's not going to be a partition with 'other people's eggs' because the contents of the partitions shuffle and rebalance every 15 minutes. It's possible, and may be bothersome if your eggs are currently the 'oldest', that the current system would be easier, but only at specific times (ie when your eggs are eldest) but even in that case, OT checking can still be at the same rate as it currently is even with the new system because qol would still be ordering them chronologically on the shelter page.
