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.

 * And since each check can be overriden by the following ones, and there is another afterwards for a red overseer which also applies to OE - here are some exact chances, assuming I didn't make a mistake: 88.32490663% to be blue, 9.813878514% to be yellow, 0.99130086% to be green, 0.43565743% to be red, 0.34826517% to be white, 0.0859914% to be purple.

 * You're right, thanks for the correction! My numbers would've been true if a singular switch would've used instead of series of conditions. I am not a great editor myself, maybe this information will find it's way to the main page one day.

 * Yeaaahhh I would really like to fully update the page but I don't often have that much time.. Documentation is making progress though.

Blue Guide on Artificer's campaign?
I've been playing Artificer without killing creatures, getting karma quickly so I can travel to regions without, well, killing Scavengers. I just got to karma 7 by meeting the Farm Arrays Echo, and the cycle after, a Blue Overseer just pointed a Caramel Lizard out as danger to me. I'm getting a screenshot as soon as it happens again.
