This Mod no longer works with the recent updates (since 1.41 as far as I can tell). It used to either work with a new game start, or with existing games it used to work for new generated enemy squads (not already spawned enemy squads already on the map). But it no longer applies to new generated squads in game.
Anyone knows if there is a way to fix this mod, as it seems to have a simple items.lua type file with all the stats that can be adjusted, but it no longer works with latest versions of the game. Also Is there any other mod which lets you adjust drop rates??
Same for me in Aug/24. I haven't tried starting a new game yet but it hasn't worked on my playthrough. I am new to JA and still on the first island. The low ammo and breaking gun really breaking immersion for me. Like ANY mercs would go on a mission without a full loadout.
I'm trying this out on a new save, and unfortunately I don't think it's working for me or I just don't understand what the mod does exactly. I'm liberating Ernie Village right now, and I've seen numerous enemies with assault rifles and other weapons not drop anything at all when they die.
Am I maybe misunderstanding what the mod does? Do all enemies carrying weapons drop them when they die, or is it only under specific circumstances?
does it work on a running game? Does it work on the current version? I have the mod downloaded and enabled in game and I don't see a change. Is it that I should have more of everything from killed units? do I understand that right?
If only you read a user post below (2 posts below yours) you would have read the following: "I've tested some more and it works but not with already spawned enemies, only with new spawned enemies like patrols and attack squads because it seems the the current droprate gets written to the NPC's the moment they spawn (which is the old droprate in savegames)."
I am now half way through a new game and my troop already has about 2000 scrapparts and about a million bullets ... still having dozends of guns and rifles laying in almost every sector and if I would scrap them too, scrapparts would double, at least ...
Thanks for the Mod Ksam. Just wanted to say that it works in savegames but with caveats. Like others already said it seems that it doesn't work at first but:
Reloading the saves a couple times/restarting the game
AND passing some time (i.e. doing operating/travel some sectors)
seems to get it to work and people now drop way more stuff as opposed to vanilla. I can't say if either of these fixes it or if it's the combination of both, because I didn't isolate and tested both steps, but it works regardless.
Edit: It worked some time but now it doesn't anymore, getting the same error as others. FYI, you get 12 errors which corresponds to the amount of Obj in items.lua: I've tested some more and it works but not with already spawned enemies, only with new spawned enemies like patrols and attack squads because it seems the the current droprate gets written to the NPC's the moment they spawn (which is the old droprate in savegames).
This has been my experience as well. Best to install early or even before a playthough, but if you're well into the game just hunt patrols for a bit and you'll experience the boons.
