Haven't tested the mod in-game, but you just need to update the modinfo.xml for the game to load it:
2024-08-02T19:48:39 9.520 INF [MODS] Trying to load from folder: 'Jerseys-Extended-Loot-Timer' 2024-08-02T19:48:39 9.521 ERR [MODS] Jerseys-Extended-Loot-Timer/ModInfo.xml does not define a valid non-empty Name (^[0-9a-zA-Z_\-]+$), ignoring 2024-08-02T19:48:39 9.522 ERR [MODS] Could not parse Jerseys-Extended-Loot-Timer/ModInfo.xml, ignoring
Here is what I changed it to and got the game to load it with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xml> <Name value="JerseyetrsExtendedLootDropTimer"/> <DisplayName value="Jerseyetrs Extended Loot drop Timer"/> <Version value="1.0"/> <Description value="Extended loot drop timer"/> <Author value="Jerseyetr"/> <Website value="midnightslayers.site"/> </xml>
My goodness! No mad dash after horde night trying to get the bags or tearfully watching them despawn! This worked great! Thank you for sharing with the community. Endorsed! :o)
Hmmm this isn't exactly what I was looking for... The yellow bags I'm fine with... it's everything else which has FAR too short a dropped lifetime Eg. ore or clay blocks that fell and spawned dropped loot, or your bags were full upon looting a self-destructing resource like meds/food and THAT gets dropped as a loot bag, or you dropping an item from your bags just temporarily, etc
THOSE dropped loot items seem to have a life expectancy of what feels like 15 seconds, and I HATE that >.>
In A20 there are three tiers of loot bags. I don't know if each one has separate entity names. so does this mod work for all three or just the standard yellow tier? Looking at the mod with note++ it says "entityLoot" so I hope it's all.

Do you have any interest in also adding increased loot drop chance?
Thank you.
EDIT:
It seems in this Alpha, it has been increased quite a bit, so no big deal.
Have a good day.
Wrong place.
I've always hated the bag despawning during horde night and this looks amazing.
