Additional Shrine overrides/blocks Increased Chance to Contain Shrines

I have 300% Increased Chance to Contain Shrines from the Atlas passive tree. It works great. I get 3-4 shrines on average in every map.

However, if I take Directed Worship from the Boss tree (Additional Shrine) - it REDUCES the number of shrines in my maps to 1-2. Mostly 1, but sometimes 2.

The same happens if I run my maps with a tablet that gives an Additional Shrine.

I've run about 100 maps testing this. It's not a random fluke. Additional Shrine somehow replaces the Increased Chance to Contain Shrines with the 1 shrine that it adds. And then I may or may not randomly get 1 more shrine from the standard RNG.

The same thing is probably true for the other mechanics that offer the Additional thing: essence, spirit, strongbox. But I haven't tested those.

FIX PLEASE!

Can confirm this bug.
After some rudimentary testing I can confirm that the boss atlas passive points "Crystal Realm" & "Directed Worship" (Areas with powerful map boss contain an additional Essence/Shrine) and Precursor tablet suffix modifiers "of the Essence" & "of the Devoted" (Map contains an additional Essence/Shrine) are bugged.

They seem to be coded as "Map contains X Essence/Shrine" instead of "an additional".

This also seems to be the case with the Overseer precursor tablets suffix "of Worship" & "of Crystals" (Map contains 1-2 additional Essence/Shrine) but I did not test this.

The issue here is if you are mix and matching "contains an additional X" and "Increased chance to contain an additional X" you are nulling your increased chance, making the atlas passive tree and tablet mods useless.

This bug could be effecting Azmeri Spirits and Strongboxes but I did not test this.

Testing:
I tested primarily Shrines.
I ran 4 tests of 10 maps each with a different Boss atlas passive tree and two tablet setup (Precursor and Overseer). The Shrine/Essence atlas passive setup stayed the same throughout the test.
"Remnants of Power" was not allocated.
Area has X% increased chance to contain Shrine/Essence number was taken inside the map (tablet chance + atlas passive tree chance)

Test 1:
Crystal Realm + Directed Worship allocated
one tablet with "of the Devoted" (+1 Shrine)
Shrine chance 400%
Essence chance 450%

Shrine min: 2; max: 2; average: 2
Essence min: 1; max: 1; average: 1

Test 2:
Crystal Realm + Directed Worship allocated
Shrine chance 515%
Essence chance 450%

Shrine min: 1; max: 1; average: 1
Essence min: 1; max: 1; average: 1

Test 3:
one tablet with "of the Devoted" (+1 Shrine)
Shrine chance: 410%
Essence chance: 480%

Shrine min: 1; max: 1; average: 1
Essence min: 0; max: 4; average: 1,6

Test 4:
Shrine chance 515%
Essence Chance 460%

Shrine min: 2; max: 4; average: 2,9
Essence min: 0; max: 4; average: 1,3


This is in no way a definitive test, but I have run over a hundred maps with similar setups without collecting data to say there is definitely an issue here.
