Now more things are added to the node -- salty loam and Rare Loam. SO now 1 ore node contains the possibility of getting 4 items from it or roughly 25% chance. But since the ore only contains 3 pieces your chanced per piece of getting a rare are reduced to about 13% per piece.

I don't believe this statement is accurate. Its not that each node has a chance of giving 4 items but each piece of that node has a chance of giving 4 items. So each piece you get from a node has a 25% chance of getting the right node. And since you get 3 trys at it your % chance of getting what you want goes up, not down. (in actuality the percentages are probably close to 48% ore, 48% loam, 3.9% extract item, .05% rare ore, .05% rare loam, or something close to that, but deffinetly not 20% for each)
