Custom Categories

I've created a custom category. It works. But, I worry that there could be unforeseen issues.

Screenshot

  "Categories": {
    "Test": {
      "probability": 1,
      "allowBlueprints": true
    },

and then this...

"LootTypes": {
    "Test": {
      "supply.signal": {
        "probability": 1,
        "minStack": 1,
        "maxStack": 1
      }
    },

Will this break anything, or am I clear to create my own categories? 

Good to hear. Thank you. Do you have a more detailed explanation on the probability weighting? It's kicking my ass. 

I ask because there are times where my bots have no loot. If my two custom categories have the same weight, shouldn't they always appear?

Oh, so it totals them? So, if it says 5, 4, 2... It's a 11 point scale? That helps. 

Next question: When it's picking categories (or items for that matter inside a category), is it guaranteed to pick something or is it possible to have something not picked at all? 

If I have two categories at 3 & 1, one of the categories should have a 75% chance of showing up and one should make up the other 25%, yes? 

I currently have a list set up where everything is set to 1. That should give them all equal chance to show up, right? 

Ok, this is pissing me off. I reset to a completely new file (test1.json). 

    "BotSpawn-test": {
      "enabled": true,
      "lootTable": "test1",
      "maxItems": 6,
      "minItems": 6,
      "gunsWithAmmo": false,
      "noGuns": false,
      "MaxBps": 3,
      "WaterPreFillPercent": 20,
      "ClearContainerFirst": true

I set CustomLoot to give my test bots the test1 loot. 

I have these relevant changes. 

  "AlwaysSpawnList": ["scrap"],

  "Component": {
      "probability": 1,

"gears": {
        "probability": 1,
        "minStack": 2,
        "maxStack": 6,

I have everything else set to 0 as it came. 

I am getting zero loot after reloading BotSpawn and CustomLoot. Imgur link.

EDIT: Oh ffs...  User error strikes again. It's working.

I'm leaving this here so you can have a record of my misstep.

By the way, you know what it was...?  I had forgotten to unload AlphaLoot. It was messing with things. Oops.
