Template:Meteorite drops/doc

This template tracks and displays drop data of meteorites. Meteorite drops are a list of several different loot tables. Each loot table has a % to be selected, then the items inside of it have a % chance to be selected. So the math for the overall drop rate is: (LootTablePercent*ItemPercent)*100

This template provides the percent chance to roll in each drop table, then what the default min and max number of items to receive. It passes that information to the module, which will calculate the item percent chance, from the above math equation. If the loot table has min/max number of items override, it will use those numbers rather than the default ones.

Related templates, modules, and tables:

• {{Loot_table}} declares the loot table cargo table.

• Data for the loot table drop information is found on Data:Loot Tables

• Module:LootTableUtil does the cargo querying and gathers all of the information.
• Module:Meteorite drops the formatting and displays the results.

If updates to the meteorite drop list (e.g. Ocean_Meteorite, Ocean_Meteorite_Collectable, Ocean_Meteorite_Rare) happen, those edits need to go on the meteorite page itself. If updates are to any of the shared drop table loot chances/amounts (e.g. Shared_Common_Resources, that needs to be updated on Data:Loot Tables.
