Are Forage Rolls Uniformly Distributed for AI?

I looked back at about 60 to 80 rolls for AI players foraging and found not a single 6 was rolled prior to modification. Is this some sort of design choice where there is only a 1 in 100 chance of a 6, say, but the other numbers occur equally often?

Hmmm . . . interesting.

Something is wrong with the AI forage rolls. After running a test game thru one year of play, I never saw a roll of [6] for AI foraging and very rarely saw a [4] or [5]. What I did see was a disproportional amount of [1], [2] and [3] rolls. I’m guessing that the modifier is being used twice but only Marshall knows and will need to check his code for the actual culprit.
