Almost a bug https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=44691.msg1015448#msg1015448

How random is the quantum distribution on quantum towers? In 8 turns, 3 quantum towers produced 0 entropy quantum and I don't believe it's an isolated thing. This time was particularly frustrating with 3 supernovas waiting but I've got to think the odds were with me.

Yeah, EtG's RNG is quite embarrassing.

The odds say that you should have gotten some entropy quanta. But not necessarily. 'Tis why they are but probabilities.

[Quantum] Pillars are not obligated to give you quanta. It's the Elemental that fails to steal the correct ones from the cache :P

Random is random. This is why I use an Entropy mark in Supernova decks that use Quantum Towers.

This is why rainbow decks, or any other deck, doesn't work 100% of the time. True randomness makes Quantum Pillar either troll or make you reap great rewards. Using a rainbow in which I required Sky Blitz, a full 13 turns went by, with 7 Quantum Towers, and I got 2 :air quanta. That's just the way it goes.

Actually if you calculate the probability, you will realize that RN is bit awkward and not completely random.
If you graph with Dusk Mantle, it does not fairly follow the bell curve.
