QI Bugreports/Suggestions

Hey there,

for the configuration tab, please add an option below "Supply Drop Configuration" which disables the smoke after X if Supply Drop smoke effect is enabled. Currently, it will just infinitely smoke the supply drop.

For the smelting configuration (which has never really worked properly for me), a "batch smelt" option would be superb! This would go easy on performance compared to quicksmelts approach while fixxing your issue of being limited by tickrate as we discussed a while back.

For categories, I feel somewhat limited about the amount of categories existing with just 6 being able to be configured. Ramping this up to 10 or any similar number would already make a huge deal or much better, the ability to create subcategories within each category. Been missing this feature from other loottable configurators for a while.

Lastly, we urgently need a way to have items which have been newly added into the game inserted into our loottables. Without this, we are technically forced to re-do our entire configuration every forcewipe. Due to my personal complex setup, I've resorted to adding new items from updates to random containers. This is one of the biggest and most obvious hiccups IMO.

Thanks a lot, awesome work!

Kindest Regards

Hi,

first of all thank you for your comprehensive feedback. 

This plugin is primarily a loot plugin and the furnace configuration is just intended to be a small addition. I recommend you to use a more specialized plugin to control furnaces if this one doesn't fit your needs.

You are also not the first one to request more categories and sub-categories. The problem is that with the current percentage-based system, the plugin would have to do significantly more computation for each loot spawn if there were more categories or even sub-categories. The only way to avoid this would be switching to a weight-based system which is what AlphaLoot and also rust itself use by default. However this system would be far less intuitive to configure (in my opinion). In the end its a decision between performance and ease of use.

For your last suggestion, I'm gonna add a button in the future that allows you to add new items to all crates that they spawn in by default (with the default amount and the default chance). Just keep in mind that you will still have to adjust chances and amounts later on to fit your configuration, this can not be done automatically.

Hey,

thank you for getting back at me.

I'm looking forward for you to implement named changes. However, I would like to remind you about my very first line in my prior message

this would be a small but great QoL feature as the smoke effect is really cool, but really disturbing for most players after a minute or so.
