Breach scarabs incompatibility

When putting both breach scarab of the hive and of instability, the map randomly chooses one of them while ignoring the other.
Now it isn't stated anywhere that we can only have one type of breach on a map, so it could be useful if there was at least a way of knowing it.
Or even better, allow us to have both a hive and one or several unstable breach encounters in the same map ?

It sounds like bug that allow you to use both scarabs at the same time anyway

So, am I supposed to read all patch notes in history to know how mechanics work ? You do realise it doesn't work like this, right ?

Not really, but it doesn't mean we should not care about players who have even less clues than us.

The game has a lot info rely on community-based wiki. And patch notes is already a very good source that constantly ninja nerf and change. Just like this patch on massacre on legacy map

So that you request would never happened. If devs want to add more info in-game, they would already do it in 0.9.0 or 0.10.0
