Sorry to be a pain any idea when roughly the fix for the smelting would be complete?

Sorry for the long wait. The fix is way more difficult than I initially thought. I am currently working on it and the update should be out in the next few days

Unfortunately I can not reproduce your problem. I don't think it is caused by the plugin because it only modifies the NPC loot and nothing else. Is the npc in "good mode" actually shooting and moving or is it only a visual bug?

As I said before I can not reproduce this problem on my server, so I don't think that it is caused by Loottable.

No worries it may be just some conflict with it as soon as i enable the custom loot for that npc it starts to respawn them in god mode, so I will leave it at vanilla loot for now

@The_KiiiingThe same thing is happening here, only with the new naval NPCs, that is, in the oil rig and the deep sea.

@The_KiiiingI was able to replicate the issue as well, once you complete the Large Oil Red card, after killing all the scientists of course... few GHOST NPC / scientists spawn. They don't do anything, but they're unkillable. The issue I think appears to be caused by the plugin interfering with the normal death process of the newer oil rig scientist NPCs introduced in recent Rust updates. When these scientists die, the plugin’s loot-handling logic partially bypasses Rust’s built-in cleanup and death sequence, which leaves the game thinking the NPC is dead while parts of the entity are still active. When the oil rig tries to repopulate scientists afterward, this mismatch creates “ghost” scientists that look normal but do not take damage.
The fix is to stop the plugin from overriding the death handling for oil rig scientists and instead let Rust handle their death and cleanup normally while the plugin should only modify the loot afterward. This preserves the game’s internal NPC state and prevents the unkillable respawn issue.

I applied the below, seems to have resolved the issue for me. Will leave it to you though to vet how effective this is... as its your plugin.

confirmed. 

After some more testing I was actually able to reproduce the problem and there will be a fix for it in the next few days. 

In the mean time to prevent this from happening just disable your custom configurations for oil rig and deep sea npcs.

Hello,
Does the plugin now work with
Heli Signals and Bradley Drops

Hi, it's possible to add an option which allows you to destroy a container x amount of time after looting it ?

This action can be found in a mod on umod.org called Loot Bouncer.  It is very useful.  

hello, how can i add categories more than 6?

This is not possible at the moment

@The_Kiiiing There are no new modifications for workbenches in the default loot table - they had to be added manually. I would like them to be added to all the boxes with the appropriate default percentage.

I have the same suggestion as above post - when there are new items added to the game, there should be some intelligent way of adding the new items to correct containers

This is already possible. Just go to Settings -> Add new items

Hi!
Could you add support for treasure box?

Have you had any issues with Keycards not spawning on monument desks? We are trying to understand how we have lost these spawn points and only using this plugin for loot spawns.  Are their conflicts with this plugin that would keep keycards from spawning at monuments?  Take care.

This plugin does not touch key card spawners
