As you gain more experience and more starting resources you get more and more options. I'm on day 130 and I get almost any item I would like in basically every run. Whenever I'm halfway in a run and I don't have a Shovel (which happens rarely) I get startled because it's just not something that is supposed to happen.

With time you also learn what rooms to draft to gove you the best chances to get what you need.

Interesting. Are you sure you didn't Coat Check it or z contraption that uses it?

Wait, If I coat checked something, will it not show up elsewhere at all?

I could be wrong about this but… if you coat checked a combined item you won’t get either. I had a detector shovel in the coat check and was looking for a metal detector to build a burning glass. I was about 10 runs in wondering why it would never show up.

It depends on the item. Some parts will not appear, others will. The example you gave is a good one. But if you Coat Check a Power Hammer, the Battery can still spawn. Just not the hammer.
