[MERGED PR] Spy rewards adjusted by delivery area difficulty - github_bot - 05-08-2021
PULL REQUEST DETAILS
[BALANCE][BUG]
About the PR
- Adjusts spy rewards based on the anticipated difficulty of reaching the destination.
- Removes juicer trader delivery area to avoid confusion.
- Prevents duplicate objectives for trinkets. The code intended to do this was incorrect.
- Prevents duplicate objectives for limbs. The code intended to do this was incorrect.
- Marks rewards that rolled the random upgrade chance as **HOT**, something that was claimed but not implemented in the PDA information.
- Organ 'Hot bounty' chance changed from 7% to 10% (why 7??) and picks Tier 3-4 (50:50) to more closely align with other hot bounties.
For difficult delivery locations:
- Photos will be upgraded from Tier 1 to Tier 2.
- Trinkets have low difficulty job holders increased from Tier 1-2 (50:50) to Tier 2-3 (50:50), medium difficulty jobs from Tier 2-3 (50:50) to tier 3-4 (50:50).
- Items will have rewards increased by one tier.
Difficult locations:
- Security - Excluding checkpoints
- Armory
- Turret-protected
- Captain's quarters
Also adds a useful proc predecessor_path_in_list from Pali to types.dm. Originally this was used for destinations but was replaced with the area variable.
Why's this needed?
You could be offered a Tier 1 reward for breaking into the armory which was very unlikely to be worth the effort.
This doesn't guarantee great rewards (Tier 2 rewards can still be underwhelming) but generally it should make things more worth considering the risk.

Fun changes!
I just wonder - why the increase for the photo rewards? I mean...aren't those usually one of the most easiest to complete?

You can spend a lot of time trying to find the target, taking photos is pretty suspicious to robust players and a 50/50 for T2/T3 is only decent IMO.
It could just upgrade to T2.
