Is there any dropped loot bag mods or settings?
I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem like I do but sometimes its hard to find the loot bags that drop from creatures after you kill them. I mean they are small little sacks on the ground that often get covered by the foliage. I've been searching around and havent seen any mod related to this, if there is and I missed it I'm sorry cause I have been looking quite a bit. But if not it would make a pretty good mod suggestion.

tl;dr loot bags hard to find, is there a mod or setting to make them easier to see?

Just do a search for "Death" in the Workshop

I did not mean loot bag that YOU drop upon death but rather creatures that you kill.

Also Death Helper now is rather obsolete since they added Corpse Finder to the servers and server options for unofficals now. I don't think there's a loot bag mod out there. I get where you're coming from though, they can be a real pain is the butt sometimes and other times they can end up falling through the map sometimes too. My best suggestion would be to turn your ground clutter down a little so it's not so thick?

My friend made a suggestion to me to turn off victim item collection and resource gathering on whatever I'm on so that the body isnt consumed upon death since they are much more visible. So this will probably work for now. But yeah even on low ground clutter they are sometime hard to find. Would be nice to have them like glow or have a beacon light on them.

Only problem with that is that EVERY dino that dies to wildlife and such would all have becon lights then, and then that would clutter everything up I think. But yeah not having the dinos eat when they kill something does help for body location, so long as there isn't scavanging dinos around.

I see your point. So if it were to happen it would need to be something not super fancy or intrusive or it would cause a lot of lag. And I'm guessing there isn't a difference in the code on a loot bag dropped by a player killed creature vs. something killed by another wild creature. Only work around would to make it toggable to individual players. So when your looking for somrthing you can turn it on. Possibly like a hot bar item that highlights loot.

Making it a feature that is client side instead of server side would probably be the best option. Like dino names, we can toggle those on and off at will. So doing something with loot bags where a person could toggle if it glows bright or not would be a way to go about it I think.

So yeah, what you suggested but based client side. I wish I knew how to do mods, that'd be a decent mod to make I think.
