Min/max condition bug with custom categories?

Just tried using this with Carbon, and discovered what I think is a bug:

I wanted to make vehicle_parts (blue plastic trays) have a chance to spawn medium or high quality parts, so I did the following relevant steps:
1. In CustomLoot.json, set the "lootTable" for "vehicle_parts" to "hz_vehicle_parts", which creates "hz_vehicle_parts.json"
2. In hz_vehicle_parts.json, created "Tier1", "Tier2", and "Tier3" entries under "Categories" with various percentages adding to 100
3. In hz_vehicle_parts.json, created "Tier1", "Tier2", and "Tier3" entries under "LootTypes", copied in the corresponding tiers of vehicle parts from the sibling "Component" entry of "LootTypes", and customized min/max stack & condition values

And here's the bug:
- On first reload of the CustomLoot plugin, the min/max condition values get removed from hz_vehicle_parts.json for my Tier1/Tier2/Tier3 LootTypes entries, but CustomLoot applies them in-game
- On second reload of the CustomLoot plugin, it reverts to using the default 90-100% condition range (probably because the values were no longer in the JSON at the time of plugin load)

I also tried tweaking the condition ranges under the default "Component" entry of "LootTyes". The values stick in the JSON file but are not used when spawning the items from my Tier1/Tier2/Tier3 categories.

I suspect the bug is that CustomLoot is failing to write min/max condition values for custom LootTypes entries in a loot table JSON file.

The situation I encountered is the same as yours! Additionally, xmas.present.large is unable to add spoils with custom names

Adding through chat commands can also encounter this situation.

Ah, I see. The default categories are rather arbitrary, so being able to weight those isn't really helpful (especially in my case where the items I'm interested in are all in the same one). I was trying to split some loot into tiers and maintain the vanilla percentages for the contained items. Instead I'll have to do some complex composite probability calculations to implement it at the individual items level I guess.

So I went ahead and fixed things to use only the default categories, and after running for about 17 hours I noticed a massive amount of CPU and RAM usage incurred - about 20x what any other mods (including Raidable Bases) have used:

I'm not running any plugins that would spawn default containers, but I do run RaidableBases, which uses CopyPaste to spawn in bases with player deployable containers, and then the former populates them with loot from its own tables.

Here is my current plugin list anyway in case you want to look:
