Bright-Beaked Bird Feedback

[Kacpert25]

When fed Bright-Beaked Bird with infused moon glass he has a chance to drop pure brilliance. 
This is a really cool early source of this resource. 
The only problem is that the chances of getting it are pathetically low. Giving 7 stacks of infused moon glass I resulted in 2 pure brilliance. 
It would be nice if the chance were higher. And also each time you feed the Bright-Beaked Bird with infused moon glass, the chance of getting pure brilliance would also increase.

And maybe since Bright-Beaked Birds eat moonglass and infused moon glass from the ground, they might be able to mine clumps who's gather on structures during lunar hail in order to obtain food.

As far as I'm aware it's because it has a cooldown period. I waited 1 minute between feeding and it seemed like a 1/5 chance.

It helps to have multiple bright beaks in an area to feed.

I assume you fed those 7 stacks continuously? Which would keep resetting the cooldown.

Yeah, that's exactly what I did.

According to the code, you have a much higher chance to get a brillance when feeding a bird initally , but for half a day it seems to drastically lower the chance to get it, so bulk feeding one is ill advised, but having multiple cages with them could be a good idea.

Oh, so my minute wait was just really lucky?

That doesn't sound very fun, would be better if they gave you one per 6-8 shards. Why are they so stingy when it comes to giving out this resource?

To be more exact, the chance is 33% by default, then, after you get a brilliance, it gets lowered by 10%, and if you feed it over half a day after it gave you brilliance the last time, the chance gets increased by 20% (but still only up to 33%, doesn't go higher than that).

So, if you keep getting brilliances, the chance would go 33% -> 23% -> 13% -> 3% -> 0%

If you feed it 2 shards after half a day after that (don't need to wait between shards), the chance'll go 0% -> 20% -> 33%
