Guarantees for Acquisition
Since the big page got split, I figured I'd repost my thought here and on the other one:

Now, a lot of these schematics have locations under 'Acquisition,' and that gives the impression that they're guaranteed drops. However, I've found a lot of them are in fact random loot, which might confuse readers. I propose we either make a 'Guarantee?' column with a simple Yes or No next to it, or restrict 'Acquisition' to such guaranteed yield points, which would require investigating every one of them and removing non-guaranteed information. The latter is more work, but the former eats up extra space.

Either way, the definition of "guarantee" would include, but not be limited to, vendors and fixed containers. A fixed container is, of course, one whose contents remain the same no matter how many times you search it, which I further define as any container whose contents will not change even when you save and reload from outside its map zone (and some containers change contents just by reloading a save from right next to it).

Any other thoughts?
