So appearance_rates.none will reflect the chance of hitting a non-combat, which makes sense.
What doesn't make is the difference between these two outputs. I am running -25 combat.
If its not obvious, in the first function the three monsters are not sharing the 5% chance of a combat between each other. Instead its using the encounter rate before the combat rate modifier is applied. The base encounter rate is 70%, so 10% only makes sense when my combat rate is 0. But its 25.
The second function call however is accurate and matches expectations.
Taken from the wiki, this doesn't appear to be intended.

Code:
If queue is true, then the monsters currently in the adventuring queue will be considered when determining the likelihood of future encounters. This is better for a real prediction of what monster will actually occur next while not considering the queue is better for modeling theoretical situations.
