IMHO a free settler is the best thing you can get out of a goody hut. I rarely get one, and never more than one per game.

Never more than one, too. And the games with a free settler were my most successfull ones.

I got three once. I think I was playing an expansionist civ, but it was so long ago, I don't remember which one. Since then I have tried all the expansionists again and again, but haven't had the same luck.

I got 2 in a row, playing as the Romans. I guess I was lucky. The first one I got was when I started the game, a goody hut was right next to were I started. So I had one heck of a head start. The other came a little later (about 12 turns I think).

If you want to talk about rare, I got 7 (SEVEN!) workers in a row.

Ive gotten 2 several times, but i dont recall ever getting more then that. They are always a big help, especially early on in the game. Definately the best treats in the goody huts, alot better than those stupid deserted ones....

I assume you mean settlers, not workers.
And 7 of them in 1 game? Sorry, REALLY hard to believe...

I only get Techs. Very very rarely get a settler at all. Techs are great though as well.

occassionally two...and that's a ton
although tech is fun

I got 2 once or twice, one a few times. Never more than two, usually none. One free settler early on can make all the difference.

I ran a few little tests once to see how often you can get a free settler. I kept reloading and walking my unit into the goody hut. I found that getting a settler seemed to be about a 1 in 10 chance. But I kept doing the experiment with the next hut. The chances of getting a second settler seem to go DRAMATICALLY down after you get a first one. And a 3rd one seemed almost impossible, but I eventually was able to get one. But there was no doubt that you were much more likely to get barbarians and less likely to get settlers after each succesive freebie. I didn't try this with an expansionist civ, just a regular one so results may vary for them.

As for Thrawn... give me a break you didn't get 7 settlers in one game.

Once I got one in my city radius, and was promptly killed by a barbarian in ANOTHER goody hut I popped with my settler.

note to self: dont pop huts with settlers/workers

I remember I got 2 in a couple of games pre-1.21f. I never got more than 1 with the newest patch, so I voted 1.

oh, you mean you captured seven workers, not getting them out of goody huts. At least I think this what you mean?

What!?
I dont think I've ever gotten a worker out of a goody hut before. Is that a modification you made, or an early patch, or a glitch, or something? Doesn't really matter, but thats interesting

Well, it's only a slightly modded original. I only changed which units get lethal bombardment.

But that was only one time, most of the time I don't get any workers, if not 1. I'm not sure, but it was during the transition between 1.17f to 1.21f. However, I'm sure it was 1.21f.

I do want to sit down and edit my mod so that I can get armys and leaders from huts, like in the first version of 1.17f.

Just for the record, there has been some very detailed and controlled testing of what you can get out of Goody hut.

I have personally run about 8,000 iterations where units with 100 movement points are popping well over 50 goody huts in every turn.

Other people have performed similar tests and posted the results of Civfanatics.

Results vary depending on:

1. if the huts are popped before your first city is founded.
   
2. whether you are playing an expansionist civ or not.
   
3. the difficulty level you are playing on
   
4. the barbarian activity level.
