and mods

would be cool if npcs have a chance to drop anything from the game

Ite tested it, not your mod that causes npc death.

This mod is incompatible with Job Offers... for some reason.
Also might cause most npcs to die when talked to but I haven't tested it yet.

Plz fix, I can't live without either of these mods.

it works fine for me

100% drop rates work but this not. help!

Please remove the `require "/npcs/bmain.lua"` line from `/npcs/bmainpatch.lua`. It's undoing other mod's hooks by loading the base script again. bmain.lua is already loaded on all NPC's using the base npctype so you don't need to require it in your script

ok so it doesn't work on servers, it will allow you to join the server and play as normal, though it won't do any effects of the mod.

know what ill go find out myself

client side?

Compatibility issues with sexbound

changing my crews outfit sorta the bug for me

this mod kinda broke but its funny af 10/10

Oddly enough, this mod was responsible for causing a bug where crew members when mixed alongside the Crew Customization + mod would be stuck in an infinite death loop and drop items assigned to them, effectively creating an item/gear duplication glitch. Removing this mod stopped the infinite death loop issue, I presume it changes something other than the loot drop pool but something related to the AI or behavior at least?

Like what #Corsair said, i want this mod. but i want the drop chance be very very low.

the mod makes me crash after i killed a random npc from Arcana mod for some reason

@chemicalvamp You could also ruin progression by going to the highest tier planet and finding a chest with a random generated weapon (starbound progression is more like limits and rules you set for yourself). Also with mods like FU npcs for most part use actual armor and weapons as far as I saw.

This would be better if not for all the gear with NPC's in it name. All garbage items, worth 0. Not worth having. Aside from a single legendary spear you can get, BUT if you do get that spear it just ruins progression.

its a good thing i got the infinte invortery mod and the stardust techlongy mod for this. i got alot of mods also with bosses. also this mod might make gic drops just go bonkers.

true, almost every single bandit(?(the guys u kill for the peacekeeper missions) drops de bandit's bandana

Corsair, i don't think that would be possible.

How about to make in-game menu option (on quickbarmini) to set up your own drop chance?

@Mionikoi forgot i had that mod gonna do that now lol

@Maya This way is good, and making a patch is easy if someone want's specific drop chances.

@philmcg Yeah I even made a different version of it that I just use where theres a 50/50 chance for a npc to drop some thing... I wish it could have a way to change the drop rate in the options menu but I dunno if that's possible. Maybe we could make it so the drop rate lowers if your inventory is full? I dunno how to do that either

@philmcg They did decrease some of the chances for drops

It seems like since the last update, the drop rate is incredibly low. I'll mow through a horde of NPCs, and maybe get one piece of armor. It's enough that I feel comfortable that I'm not just a victim of RNGesus. Anyone else experiencing similar?

@Maya I can finally update and use my patch :) hooray

I fixed the problem where every enemy drops all their armor! The secret was to have separate random variables for each armor piece instead of just one (so I used headRand, chestRand, legsRand and set each of them to math.random() on a different line, then did a different if statement for each one). Also I removed the thing where it kept changing the random seed cause I dunno why you would need to do that? I'm not really good at lua though so maybe there's some reason. Anyways do you think you could up date this mod so it has that fix? Or should I just up load my own version?

nvm lol found it

what about uh
a version with even less drop chances

@Vizorkid
If you have Frackin' Universe installed, putting them in research computers for research is *very* lucrative, and helps cut down on the grind.

@vizorkid try universal uncrafter. Or that one container mod that lets you sell whole containers full of stuff.

can you make a very rare version because my ship locker is FILLED TO THE BRIM with npc items

@AhzuulRetrovali I think that is a base starbound problem

Seems like there's a bug where when npc's teleport it still counts as them dying, so they can drop their gear, over and over again

I need help from the maker of the mod, my patch is for some reason making it so that enemies drop the full set of armor instead of a piece.

Not saying other stuff couldn't already be considered that using this, XD But I do feel this is something that needs a patch, more for my logic-liking brain than for "balance" lol

we need an optional patch for this that makes it not apply to crew members, seeing as using this, when they die, they can drop their stuff aswell, making them an infinite money farm

Yea i can confirm that, i just got a helmet but thats like 1 helmet against 70 leggings

Update: It seems that I am also getting some head and chest pieces, but 90% of the items are leggings.
Literally, the leggings are more than the other two combined, by a lot.

Weapons are ok, but I only find leggings

It works for weapons, but i got like 40 leggings out of 40 armor drops

Dear people, we implemented a new way to randomize armor drops. Let us know if you continue encountering only legging drops.

I love the idea. I am wondering if there is a bug that makes only the leg pieces for armor drop.... Or if I broke something. xD I Think I broke something.

@Laserbeam
I apologize if I gave the wrong impression, I would never ask a creator to change their own mod. Creative vision is your right.

I simply hoped you might be willing to give pointers for my own private-use edits. It may just be a LUA patch conflict; my list is asinine.

If you feel my request is disagreeable, I understand.

@Teragram After so many iterations to test your situation, It is seem to be there is no such issue continues in our end. Make sure that you have the latest version of the mod installed.

For the simultaneous drop, unfortunately we decide to leave it as it is because of the playability and balancing requirements that we ended up with. Our decision may change in the future but not yet. Thank you for participations!

@Ciel
They tell you it does right there in the second line of the description. The part where they recommend playing with Frackin' as an alternative way to "obtain valuable loot."

By that I mean instead of the loot pool isolating a single armor piece, couldn't all pieces fall in the same pool and have an equivalent, simultaneous 25% chance to drop? So that you could get one, two or all 3 based on RNG?

@Devs
I know you guys have worked pretty hard on this. A quick look at the code and my many failed attempts to tweak it show as much. But I'm still getting only leg drops. I attempted to remove the single-piece randomization and pool all armor pieces together, like the weapon drops.

What I keep getting instead is a broken patch that auto-kills human mobs. Is there by chance a way you could maybe just take out the "For 1, If 2, else legs" thing? Isn't it possible that could be the bug issue?
