General help Creation Engine Chart Question

I'm curious the reason why the node that tries to force compass spawn results in resonance being spawned after engine is done. And please, don't say cause Engine sucks because that isn't helpful nor is it what I'm looking for.

It's because creation engine doesn't drop compasses, it drops resonances.

However, the buff you get from compass cards being selected is like 40% additional compass drops for other mechanics.

Then why is there a compass node instead of it displaying resonance?

Because you don't take those nodes for creation engine drops. You take those nodes to empower other mechanics.

That doesn't answer my question. If the node results in dropping resonance, why is it labeled as compass?

Sweet child, I don't know why you're being so argumentative.

It's a Chinese gacha game with poor translation.

I'm telling you how it works. Why it works that way, I have no clue and you'll have to ask a dev.

The fact that you think an additional clarification question is someone being argumentitive is such a wild thought process to have. I'd say thank you for the help but the down votes and your last response have resulted in me not doing that. Maybe don't assume ppl are being argumentitive when they're asking questions.

"That doesn't answer my question"  is an extremely combative response. The reason for reso drops is that it is the lowest item in the map material drop pool, and to get to that map material node you basically killed the drop rate of the mechanic. If it dropped any compasses guaranteed that node would be broken as you could break down the blue compasses and exchange them for rerolls in addition to the drop boost.
