Seeing as it dosn't seem to be on the wiki, dose anyone know approximately what the chances of making a discovery at ultra difficult are?

CT Lab Chance gets lower every time you discover a module/artifact.

It says 1-2% chance. I don't think we know the specifics, but I figure each difficulty level lowers the chance by a linear amount. I don't remember all the levels, but I figure "Nearly Impossible" to be 1%, and one difficulty below that might be 1.2%, then 1.4%, etc, up to 2% for the easiest one. I'd guess "Ultra Difficult" is around 1.3%, but probably none of us know for sure.

From practical experience- the last few are much lower than 1%

30 attempts for the first one, and about 50 more for the next. Keeps increasing (200 attempts for the 11th one, no luck so far)

It's all dependant on luck, I don't know about the percentages involved because I didn't code the thing, but it seems that the only thing that changes is how much luck you get, if that makes sense.
