ShylokVakarian Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) Seeing some great data here, really interesting stuff. I would like to remind contributors to vary up their professions, as currently a whopping 13 submissions out of 26 submissions containing professions are for Park Rangers. Now, this is probably due to our current MVC, ChatNoir, having submitted a total of 12 submissions, and (likely) all of them are Park Rangers. Thankfully, our second-most valuable contributor, Larnest, has decided they want to submit data for 11 different professions, covering several bases that weren't covered before. I would also like to remind contributors to vary your spawn locations, as Muldraugh is currently the majority of submissions, at a whopping 65.8%. Apparently, Muldraugh was a thriving metropolis before Event Zero, because everyone and their grandma wanted to live there. Two more reminders: First, if you spawn in a weird location that is currently not covered by the options listed, please provide, in the Other box, either a link to the location on the PZ Map, which can be found here, or provide the coordinates for the location, which can be found as "Coords" by clicking on the "Map Coordinates (on Level 0)" tab to the left, clicking "Lock Coords", and then clicking on the location on the map where you spawned. And finally, contributors that have already submitted at least one data point: Please consider submitting more. Not everyone enjoys science as much as you do, and would find the tasks required to be mind-numbingly tedious.

ChatNoir Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I try to submit a set of data covering all spawn locations 3 times for each profession per week. So far Park Ranger and Engineer are done. Next profession will come next week (maybe even 2 per week during holidays). Let me know if you have any priority regarding professions.

ShylokVakarian Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Thanks to the absolute god-like diligence of ChatNoir, whose submissions currently make up 48% of all submissions, we have reached our first milestone of 50 responses! *party_blower.mp3* Results will follow shortly.

ShylokVakarian Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Results for 50 responses are now up. These results are by no means final, they can still change by quite a lot for a little while, so don't take them as statistical fact just yet. They're just up to give you a preview of what the data might look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatNoir Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Metalworker data set submitted. I had two houses with almost no loot. One in Rosewood with just a schoolbag and a seeds package and one in West Point with just one news paper in it. That was the lowest amount of loot I have ever found in a starting house. Might be a bug related to a certain type of kitchen counters. Both houses had those type of kitchen counters and all of them were empty. Edit: Just spawned in this house in Riverside and found nothing at all. Edited December 30, 2017 by ChatNoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShylokVakarian Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 We've actually been sitting on at least 100 responses for a while now, but I completely forgot that 100 was a milestone. Since I have little reason to think the data changed significantly, I've decided to skip the 100 responses milestone. I'll release new results at 250 responses. I'm sure we'll get there, but I'd like to remind those that haven't decided to submit craptons of data that they should continue to test and submit new data.

ChatNoir Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Data sets for all professions including unemployed submitted. I'm curious to see the results. Here are some questions: How likely is it to have a very lucky start (finding a baseball but + any kind of hiking bag)? How likely is it to have a very bad start (finding nothing useful at all)? Which is the best/worst starting location in terms of loot? ShylokVakarian, BoogieMan and lucy the axe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShylokVakarian Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) I have news. A while back, mid-December, ChatNoir vowed to submit 12 responses for every profession. I commented in PM that that was a massive undertaking, and if she managed to do that, I would crown her the Queen of Loot. As you can see by the post above, she has fulfilled that vow. She is the reason that I can even give results for individual professions, and for that dedication, ChatNoir, I crown thee the Queen of Loot. May your vast knowledge of loot lead you to further greatness. We are also past the 250 mark, but I will skip that mark and instead go straight to a coronation special. Results will follow shortly.

ShylokVakarian Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 The initial data report has been posted. Once I've had a closer look at the data, I'll answer more questions about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShylokVakarian Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 I am now recruiting up to two survivors skilled in the art of loot value appraisal to help me assign values to each piece of loot, allowing me to calculate the best starting location. Please apply via private message. Must have a Google account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShylokVakarian Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Still recruiting survivors for loot appraisal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShylokVakarian Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Since no one wants to help me with the implementation of the LootScore™ System, I've decided not to hold the final results up any longer. I may revisit the weighting of the start locations if I end up assigning loot values to everything, or find someone willing to help assign them.
