side chests in blueprints

I noticed that bringing Tibs in blueprints changes some of the Chests with map fragments into fossil chests . Is that intended ?

How do you mean exactly? It's a fragment chest on the blueprint, but when Tibbs opens it, it drops fossils?

Are these ones you are opening on the way to the rewards room, or on the way back, via Tibs ability to open a chest on the way out after lockdown?

Is this in Mirage or standard? I think there was some changes in where things such as fossils drop during the last update. Unsure if Heist is still dropping stuff from everywhere.
I like fragment chests very much because they drop lots of scarabs , so that is all that I reveal , and I only do wings that have at lest 6 of them . After entering Heist some , not all change in fossil chests , and I just realized that any blueprint with brute force got a problem , most chests with gold are gone after entering .
Yeah not sure. Never noticed that myself, but I haven't been paying attention to it. If I see it happen as well, I'll note it here.
Is it still happening? Fossils are not supposed to dropping in heist at all moving forward, and they fixed a bug relating to this:

• Fixed a bug where Fossils could still rarely generate from Heist rewards.

Unsure if this is game wide or just in Mirage league. If you are in standard, it's possible fossils still drop.
It is definitely still happening in standard
I see. It could be that these changes don't get pushed through immediately like the atlas changes do in Standard. Doesn't explain why it might be bugged, and if this would fix it, particularly if it happens with other items types too, but I think they intending on having fossils largely from delve, and other items more confined to the league they are associated with across the game. Might be a change that doesn't happen until after the league test in mirage.

Probably something that won't be looked at immediately if it is not relating to the league. If you think it is a bug, and don't get an explanation here, you might be able to try the bug section. I don't know enough about heist drops to confirm or refute if it is intended myself. Will look out for it happening.
(Edit: There is a more extensive report thread here that should be added to instead of my report. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3918393/page/1

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3918393/page/1You are right! I encountered this as well. Have made a report in the bug section.

Fragments changed to Delve reward. Happened to me in Mirage. Not everything was the same for me, Tibbs wasn't there in at least one of the wings. I listed all the information I recorded in the report if you are interested.

Also I think I might of added some confusion here in the thread. Fossils don't drop any longer, but Delve reward spawn, and drop sulphite scarabs. I ended up with 10 sulphite scarabs instead of fragment rewards. Which I assume is the same as you have been encountering, and I brought up fossils relating to your mention of fossil rewards, which probably dropped for you as sulphite scarabs too?
