Hi, problably not the first person to complain about LootTables.json but I think a simple solution can help

I tried to get a 2x from another user but it was broken, I tried to changed it was a messed, I tried to started from scratch and I need to edit  ~6000 lines 

Probably we don't need a crazy editor like AlphaLoot but just simply have one file for different Loot entity will help us to understand better what we have on each, lesser line of configuration will not just look cleaner but also will help us to organize better the astronomic task of change the Loot table. 

Probably using SQLITE will be even better, but I never did a plugin for Rust so I'm limited there, but I understand that some other plugins are already using databases for keep tracks through force wipes. 

Just throwing ideas here.

Takes me about three hours to get the loottables the way i want them ,Once done they dont need doing again,  I dont understand all the fuss as no one wants to increase/decrease every single item in the loottable or every crate/barrel/trash pile, Forced wipes do nothing to the loottables.

If it was easy people wouldn't be trying to sell loottables files. If you edit the JSON by hand then you're doing it wrong in the first place. There are a couple sites to help you out(both mentioned in other threads here) I think this one is best: https://lootify.co.uk/ - Also realize not all those containers are even in the game anymore - you don't need to edit every single one.

You say i am doing it wrong but i have been doing it that way since 2015 and i am the one who is having no problems with it running or editing it, if you are lazy and want to use some 3rd party (mostly unreliable) loot table generators good luck to you. i will continue to use a working plugin with the settings the way i want them. as you are happy doing it your way , have fun , i will unwatch thread due to lack of interest
