-No known forage formula exists so i will propose this one:
+The Formula created by Powerking for use in the ANH core is as follows:
-Chance of success = ( ( (Forage Skill Modifier / 100) + 0.15 ) x 0.70) x 100
+Chance of success = sqrt(Skill Modifier)/20 + 0.15
-−
-−
-Chance of success in town municipal zone =  ( ( (Forage Skill Modifier / 100) + 0.15 ) x 0.35) x 100

 '''Using Forage'''
-Foraging must be done outside and can only be initiated while not moving. Forage zones are pockets made 20 meters from the next one. In these pockets, a player may forage for goods and when successful, the pocket is depleted. If the player wishes to gain more foraged items they will have to move to the next pocket to forage. When you get the "There is nothing to forage in this area." message, you must move at least 20m off to get a new area.
+Foraging must be done outside and can only be initiated while not moving. Forage zones are pockets made 20 meters from the next one. In these pockets, a player may forage for goods and when successful, the pocket is depleted. If the player wishes to gain more foraged items they will have to move to the next pocket to forage. Players can begin forage through using the /forage command. After this is done, a 10 second period will elapse before they receive a notification of the event's success or failure. When you get the "There is nothing to forage in this area." message, you must move at least 20m off to get a new area. These pockets will regenerate over time.
 These pockets will regenerate over time.
 Each "area" has 4 forage slots. You can only have 4 successful forage attempts in an area. Multiple items collected during a forage success do not count against the forage attempts as each forage attempt is counted seperately. Once you hit the 4th success that area is dry. The area will regenerate items at a rate of roughly 1 per 5min. So if you say get 4 successes in a row, you will not get a success for another 2mins or so.

 Only the min and max range is known for bait recovered. The rest will have to be extrapolated. I propose we issue bait ranges as follows:
-* Foraging Mod +5: 1-2 units
+* Foraging Mod 0-25: 1-2 units
-* Foraging Mod +35: 2-3 units
+* Foraging Mod 26-50: 2-3 units
-* Foraging Mod +75: 3-4 units
+* Foraging Mod 51-75: 3-4 units
-* Foraging Mod +100: 4-5 units
+* Foraging Mod 75-100: 4-5 units

	Forage success increases as the player gains more forage skill. At master scout, the forage success is higher and the the number of items the player is supposed to receive is increased to a maximum of 3 in a single forage. Items are chosen randomly although fishing bait seems to be rather commonly obtained. Successes include discards (items not added to inventory because the inventory is full) and multiple-item forages (which count as one success.) Your failure rate doubles (no matter what planet you're on) when you're around cities or structures (player or NPC).		Forage success increases as the player gains more forage skill.

	Foraging skill also plays a role in determining the unit amount of fishing bait is recovered during a forage attempt. Scouts with survival one can forage bait units between 1 -2 where as master rangers can recover units between 4-5.
