Synthesizing 3 Cellulose returns 16 paper instead of 3

[Aedda]

I just turned 17 books into 177 paper and 11 leather.

1 Paper decomposes into 1 Cellulose at a 25% chance, 3 Cellulose turns into 16 paper. So after 25% chance that is an average of 4 Paper per 3 Cellulose decomposed.

Sugar cane decomposes into 1 Sucrose at a 65% chance which decomposes into roughly 2 Cellulose. So given 33 sugar cane the result can be 229 paper instead of 33.

If my math is correct.

This is probably unintended. :)

Edit to add: It appears 1 leather turns into 1 Keratin (50%) chance, but 1 Keratin turns into 5 leather.

Can I get you to test this with the latest dev build from Jenkins, @Aedda?

This is more balanced now regarding books:
Books have a lower chance to decompose into their components, and those components have 50% of the previous synth output. 20 leather and 60 paper in, 5 leather and 48 paper out (after 2 tests of 10 books each).

This also appears more balanced regarding paper:
The output of 3 Cellulose has changed from 16 paper to 8 which gives a loss instead of gain when reprocessing that paper.
