OE Overseer Spawn Chances and Some Misc Overseer Stuff
My gratitude. I've fiddled around in code a for a bit, found few interesting numbers for OE overseers. Game decides which color to choose for overseers based on it's ownerIterator variable, which is set when initializing overseer into the world. There are 9 different overseer types and you've got to see only 6 (technically 7, but i didn't list it here because it's monk's version of moon's overseer) in-campaign. They include: So, to the numbers! If region is Outer Expance, chances to set ownerIterator value are as follows:
 * ownerIterator = any: 5P overseer with RGB(113, 229, 195) (Fun fact: It's actually a default overseer color, so if for some reason something goes wrong and game couldn't decide what owner to give to an overseer, it's going to spawn 5P's one).
 * ownerIterator = 1: Moon's overseer with RGB(255, 204, 76).
 * ownerIterator = 2: Supposedly NSH's green overseer with RGB(0, 255, 0).
 * ownerIterator = 3: SRS's overseer with RGB(255, 51, 0).
 * ownerIterator = 4: Rare white OE overseer with RGB(229, 242, 255).
 * ownerIterator = 5: Rare purple OE overseer with RGB(142, 68, 173).
 * Default value is 0, if all other checks fail, then it's going to be 5p's overseer.
 * 10% chance to choose 1 and spawn moon's overseer.
 * 1% chance to choose 2 and spawn green overseer.
 * Then there's a 0.86% check, if it succeeds, then value is set to 3 (SRS), however:
 * There a 1% check, which sets value to 5, meaning purple overseer is going to spawn. This means total chance of purple overseer spawning is: 0.0086 * 0.01 = 0.00086 = 0.086% chance. You should be a lucky bastard to meet it, taking on average more than a thousand of overseer encounters.
 * If that check fails there's 45% check, which sets value to 6, meaning while overseer is going to spawn. This totals as: 0.0086 * 0.45 = 0.00387 = 0.387% chance.

For fun, lets also calculate chance of meeting both green, purple and white in the same room, if 3 overseers are guaranteed to spawn 100& of the time: 0.01 * 0.0086 * 0.0387 = 0.0000033282 = 0.000033282%(!). I personally only met white overseer twice throughout all my playthroughs and expeditions.
