Expected Behavior

I would expect the multi sifter to have the same output chances than the singles, but this is not the case.

Current Behavior

Currently, the multiblock sifter has a 12% bonus on output chances. This piece of code here is the relevant one.

Possible Solution

Change the value to 10000 and it will output on par with single block sifters.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

I did run some tests. Input was 10 chests of purified salt ore, then I macerated the outputs to get dusts.

Single Blocks    : 160147 Dust, 124483 Small Dust
GT++             : 178915 Dust, 139428 Small Dust

As you can see here, the GT++ has a roughly 12 percent output bonus. I was told that the sifter does not have an output bonus, and that the code above was ignored. So i went ahead and changed the value to 10000, and ran the same test again.

Single Blocks    : 160147 Dust, 124483 Small Dust
GT++             : 159755 Dust, 124668 Small Dust

As you can see, now the output matches that of the singles. For good measure I changed the value to 5000, and ran the tests again

Single Blocks    : 159968 Dust, 124837 Small Dust
GT++             : 320313 Dust, 249126 Small Dust

Double the output this time.

Context

I heard there was a bonus output. I've heard there is no bonus output. At one point the tooltip mentioned bonus output, then it didn't anymore. If the machine is not supposed to have a bonus output, then something is wrong, as it does currently have a 12% bonus output. Would be nice if it could mention that, to clear the confusion, or the bonus % be removed entirely.

Game Environment

GTNH 7.6b

Misc Info

Check all that apply ([ ] -> [x] - use a lowercase x)

•    Using GT:NH/GT:New Horizons?
•    Single Player?
•    Multi Player?

So, this is a curiosity so I shall only write this once.

As far as I was aware/could recall, the bonus chances were removed when parallisation was added.
I had no reason to believe otherwise, as many players ran tests sifting X amount of ore in singles vs multi and came within RNG plausible differences.

Tooltips were only recently updated to reflect this, as as far as I knew, they weren't giving bonuses. Apparently, this wasn't the case and I've neglected to actually check the code beyond a glance. Now the interesting thing is, why did some people get very neglible differences on 100k sifts? Why didn't anyone else actually look? and what I should do going forward?

In regards to issues like #554, I don't really think it is my job to support other mods and their sifting. It's moreso on them to check if GT++ is loaded and adjust any sifting recipes accordingly, expecting people to be sifting from MV/HV and the single block chances are obsolete if so.

Alternative solution implemented.
