I dont use any third party "aid" to edit the loottables in the DATA folder, I use this config for the CONFIG folder

Editing data file
And because the data\BetterLoot\LootTables.json is so large and my server host dashboard will time me out half way through an edit i copy/paste the data file contents to a "new text file" and edit it how i want it, if any "new" items are not found in the data file options i look through the "nameslist" and add them to the data file in the sections where i want them to be lootable (chests/barrels and locations) , when i have finished editing the data file i check it with a json validator and if  it checks out ok i unload BetterLoot , open the above file , delete the contents and copy/paste the edited file into the data config, then save and reload BetterLoot,
(i dont cut/paste the file from the text file just in case i need to re edit)

As with any large data folder (and there are quite a few) you must have a little patience and take your time , there are no easy shortcuts that work 100% .

i dont have the BetterLoot LooTables.Json data file on the data but i have this loottables.json but i cant send the file for a weird reason

Merged post

You can edit loot inside of every crate from the data file

Copy the text inside the data file

You go through the LootTable and change the values for each item  its as simple and boring as that, if you want something to work you have to put some effort into it,
UNLOAD the plugin before editing the LootTable , save, reload plugin
I dont use the scrap multiplier as there is enough scrap as it is,

okay there is no loot spawning in now so what did i do wrong there?

Merged post

okay so no crates spawn like on the oil rig and the mounments
