In Minecraft, me and my friends have adventured to the Nether and used the /locate command to find a Bastion Remnant. We are in the process of raiding one, but I have a question. Is there a pattern in which Bastion Remnants generate? Or do we have to pointlessly wander around to find another? For example, are there certain biomes they are exclusive to, so that I don’t explore areas that they cannot generate? We also found 3 chests in our bastion remnant, and I just looked it up and found that you are only supposed to find 1-2 chests. Was our bastion remnant composed of two merged remnants, or are bastion remnants supposed to have that much loot?

Can you discern any pattern in this?
That's locations of bastions within ~14k x ~10k area around spawn on a random seed, as generated by Bastion Remnant Finder from Chunkbase.com. The varied colors determine the type of the structure:
On Java, at least, there are occasional diagonal "lines" 3-4 bastions long. On Bedrock it seems the only pattern is some bald spots corresponding to Basalt Deltas, where bastions don't generate (may encroach into them from neighboring biomes though).
I don't know where you looked up the "2 chests", but bastion remnants generate as a hodge-podge of matching structures using the Jigsaw blocks, and some of them contain chests. That means the number of chest depends on your luck (or just the world seed); some structures are guaranteed to appear in certain types of bastions, so some chests are guaranteed in these types of bastions, others are completely random.
