Add configurable probability display formats (%, 1-in-X, per million, hit rate) #1
Description
Description
Currently, probabilities are displayed in a single fixed format. Different users intuitively understand probabilities in different ways, which can make the same value feel unclear or misleading depending on the context.
Idea:
Add a user setting that allows selecting the preferred probability display format.
Proposed formats:
- Percentage (e.g. 0.12%)
- 1 in X (e.g. 1 in 833)
- Per million / per N (e.g. 1200 per 1,000,000)
- Effective hit rate (e.g. ~1.2 hits per 1000 attempts)
Goals:
- Improve readability
- Reduce confusion around low-probability events
- Let users choose the representation that makes sense to them
Notes:
- This should be a presentation-only change (no impact on internal calculations)
- Default format should remain unchanged for existing users
- The setting can live in the general or advanced settings menu
Future considerations (optional):
- Context-aware defaults (e.g. rare drops → 1-in-X)
- Tooltips showing alternate formats on hover
