Did train drop change?

[Rhiannon]

I would swear that when I first started playing SDV all those years ago, I NEVER had a train go through that didn't drop SOMETHING. My current play has no drops most of the time. I would say at least 75% of the time there are no drops. Did the drop percentage change somewhere in the last few years? Or am I just that unlucky?

I don't think it's changed as when first playing in v1.3 I'd almost never get anything dropping from the Train. Later on I did seem to have a stream of luck where I'd get Leprechaun Shoes (requirement for a nice green outfit) and some Coal and occasionally Ore, Copper I think? This could have been v1.4 but then 1.5's been out on non-mobile so long that it's likely to be v1.5 as well. More recently my luck seems to have gone cold again but then I'm also rarely visiting the Train any more.

I almost never have a train drop anything, so if you're getting something 25% of the time, your luck is still better than mine with trains.

Then I guess it was just REALLY good luck for my first 11 in-game years and really bad luck on my newest play through. Thanks for the responses!

I got so few drops or even not at all most of the time that now, I no longer care about the train event unless I'm near the railroad map.
