4 Player co-op with Seamless Co-op mod on Nexus. How will loot work?

[stashinsome]

Me and 4 friends are thinking about picking this up to play fully in co-op. How would loot work in 4 player co-op? Will each person get their own unique drops from boss fights and or mobs? Or are we sharing the loot that the Host player gets?

We are going to use this mod

Every guaranteed drop by bosses or other enemies (edit: including npcs) is added to each player's inventory.
Items found found otherwise in the overworld can also be picked up by everyone.
Randomly dropped items, such as armor, weapons, crafting materials, etc. is not shared and shown only for the player that it drops for.

you won't be able to see other player's drops but four of you will get the same drop. each player see a drop only once and after they pick it up it will disappear for them. but other players which didn't pick the loot up will be able to see it.

seamless co-op makes all players host of fingers. think like that.

You will face constant ussies like desyncs, crashes, black screens and people calling you out for not facing invasions while in coop.

You and your friends should play the game correctly. It will feel much more rewarding.

except seamless coop disconnects all mod users from the matchmaking servers

Dragonirian is not necessarily wrong in pointing out that the mod is not that stable and crashes, desyncs and so on might happen.
Also, people calling you out for it was in regard to people in this forum, like the post above yours:

So multiplayer in the game is already pretty good without mods?

and this is just in the base game with no mods?

In my opinion it is. It is just not a seamless experience like most newer players might expect it.

Multiplayer works like this:
You as a host can summon in cooperators. As soon as you do that, you open your world up for players called invaders, whose goal is to defeat you.

Invaders leave your world when they die or when they defeat you, cooperators leave your world as soon as your area boss is dead (defeating said boss is a cooperators main goal mostly).
Upon returning to their world, the cooperator will not have defeated the same boss in their world, meaning progress is not shared in any way, neither are drops from guaranteed dropped items or items which can be found lying around in the overworld.

No, they mean you're not supposed to have that kind of full co-op that works the way Sealess co-op mod makes it work.

Vanilla game will let you have at most 2 helpers within a limited scope (beat an area boss) AND expose you to invaders (basically unwanted PvP).
Once the helper's duty is done, they get disconnected and whatever they did for you won't persist in their game world.

That's not at all what Ay Tone said, and I'm pretty sure you're aware of that Kalameet.

Unwanted, again, is just your opinion. Kindly let people make up their mind themselves if they want to play the game vanilla first or mod it straight away.

Edit: typos

All what i did was just telling OP how the vanilla game works. OP wants 4-player co-op; Vanilla ER doesn't allow that.
Please don't blame me in advance for whatever decision OP will do.

I didn't, I said please let them make up their mind on their own.

Jeez, you act like he is lord and prince of determining what others do. He isnt deciding for anyone, just providing info, info you apparently dont like him sharing.
