Hello,

I was able to fix the issue of loot containers not spawning at monuments, but now I am getting the issue of extra loot added to the crates instead of just the x3 quantity for what is loaded. It is also causing no components like rope and springs to spawn in the crates. 

Only setting I have changed is x 3 loot and x3 scrap. Better Loot is the only loot impacting mod I am running on server. I had to remove all mods and force updates in order to get the crates to start spawninng. I checked the data files and it does show things like metal springs listed in the loot tables, its just not spawning in the crates.

If I could figure out how to take out some of the junk items and replace with higher chance of things like springs spawning, I could get my husband to leave me alone about the loot, and I am so tired of hearing about loot issues. Please help me stop the L word from being said in my house!

Config:

"Loot": {
"enableHammerLootCycle": false,
"hammerLootCycleTime": 3,
"lootMultiplier": 3,
"scrapMultiplier": 3
},
"Rarity": {
"Override": {
"autoturret": 4,
"lmg.m249": 4,
"targeting.computer": 3
}

That is just a snip of the bottom part of your conifg correct because I could not change the WatchedPrefabs myself, but you do have those right? Did you change or modify the LootTables.json at all? What plugin was preventing containers from spawning?

Correct, I only did a snip of the bottom since it was the only part I adjusted. The plug in that was actually stopping it was BetterLoot + Loot Bouncer. I had to bring it all down to vanilla, wait for the spawn to be normal, and then add in BetterLoot alone, but that still was only bringing in most but not all of the crates. Doing research into the forum for this mod, it looks like it is a known issue, People are saying the rarity portion of the config is what is causing the issue of no components spawning and large quanitity of "trash". I don't think it would be right to promote another mod here, but what I finally did to fix everything was remove this mod completely and use another loot mod, soon as I did that, all my crates popped up like normal and had the right stuff in it, then I was able to make the adjustments. I prefer Better Loot as I have used it in the past, and I will keep an eye on forums to see if the rarity issue is resolved!

I got rid of that problem by adding all the items (from the NamesList) i didnt want spawning to the Blacklist, only took 10-20 minutes to go through the whole list and double check it,

More problems come from using the blacklist, you will end up with less items because it does not 'replace' a blacklisted item. It's a better option to set 0 rarity. I don't think there are problems with rarity, I think you are seeing people just don't understand it, and it is supposed to use the game's default rarity if you don't override it.

The plugin does need some work, it has a few problems. I think this is why a couple other options are available now. you should be using what works best for you.

It has worked well for me for the last 7 years so i think i will continue with it, I dont get less loot i just get less useless items.

Pookins, always a good story teller about how things work for you, great 'argument'. Be curious to see your loottables.json, I bet you have your max items jacked sky high to get your results. You are free to look at the code, I know for a fact if you didn't use the blacklist and you did set rarity 0 to those same items you would have more items in containers.

As you said in your post " you should be using what works best for you"  . and i do. I have used since Dcode released it though all of its transformations and it still satisfys my needs, there is no need to show my LootTables to prove any point especially for someone who does not use it . I also did not start an arguement , i merely stated a fact. and wont waste time in responding to any jibes.
