Major changes to Crashed Freighter loot, minor changes to loot from Metal Fingers and Sentinel Depots.
Motivation
Loot from Crashed Freighters is not very diverse. This mod changes that by expanding the loot options from 17 to 115 different Substances or Products. It also makes some minor additions and changes to loot from Metal Fingers and Sentinel Depots.
Features
Metal Fingers now have a chance to drop any gold-ish-colored metals, i.e. aside from Gold and Uranium they can now also drop Pyrite, Copper, or Activated Copper, thus providing a way of getting Activated Copper on non-extreme worlds, albeit at a very low chance.
Sentinel Depots can now also drop Ionised Cobalt, Sodium Nitrate, or Condensed Carbon in addition to their regular loot. Quantities for all substances (i.e. also the Gases) have been increased to 500-1000 per container, from 100-250 (should scale with the corresponding difficulty setting).
Crashed Freighters now have a wide variety of drops. Freighter-related items (Salvaged Frigate Modules, Cargo Bulkheads, Frigate consumables, Frigate Fuel) have the highest overall drop chance, but you can now also get all kinds of Substances (such as stellar metals, biome-specific elements, etc.), Tech Components (such as Solar Mirrors, Wiring Loom, etc.), Tokens (Multitool, Exosuit, Ship, Factory), all plant- or gas-based Farm Products (from Poly Fibre and Nitrogen Salt all the way up to Stasis Devices), as well as Tier 5 or Pirate Trade Commodities. For a complete list of changes, see image tab.
Technical Stuff
This mod is an EXML patch mod that edits REWARDTABLE. It should be compatible with other EXML mods that do not touch the same entries (DE_RARE_GOLD = Metal Fingers, DE_DEPOT = Sentinel Depots, CRASHCONT_M = Crashed Freighter storage containers).
If you want to make this modular (for example you don’t like the changes to Metal Fingers), you can just open the EXML in any text editor (Notepad works but isn’t recommended; I use Notepad++) and delete the corresponding sections. Example for initial release (v5.58): To remove Metal Fingers, you need to delete lines 6 (with “Id” and “DE_RARE_GOLD” to 110 ( indented twice). If you want to remove both Metal Fingers and Sentinel Depots, delete the entire “DestructionTable” section (lines 4-473).
