Only Sentinel Power Storage CMB drop when dissecting augmented zombies (DDA)

[MonkWho]

I've been away from the game for couple years and when I came back I learned that in vanilla most of CBM zombie harvesting has been removed. Zomborgs and the time traveling faction are the main way forward. But I also noticed that in this mod augmented zombies drop CBMs. Been playing several days and dissected a bunch of augmented zombies from this mod and every time only got Sentinel Power Storage CMBs.

I looked in c_monster_harvest.json and ran some tests trying to get other CBMs to drop. But it has not worked so far and I got frustrated enough that I decided to post here. Do I have a mod conflict that is causing this? Is there something in the base game that is blocking CBM drops from any zombies other than zomborgs? Am I just that unlucky that in couple dozen dissected augmented zombies all they ever dropped were Sentinel CBMs?

Yep, currently it's only sentinel power storage. Given some issues in the BN version preventing the player from installing multiple power storage items, together with #428, this probably will warrants a nerf sometime soon.

Shouldn't that also trigger "bionics_soldat_zombie_generic" bionic_group and pull from c_item_groups.json list? This harvest section drops a sentinel, fat, meat, and bone but nothing from the bionic_group. As a test I even tried removing everything except that bionic_group but then dissecting returned nothing at all.

[chaosvolt]

It should be, yes. o.O

I fixed the issue with pull mentioned above. I just got lucky in my current playthrough and found a bunker that had an Apophis and a bunch of other stuff so I had an incentive. Had to create all new corpses for fix to work but debug menu is easy enough to use.
