How to change element drop rates for bosses to 2x

[Alan]

Hello so I wanted to start a new ark world with my friend but I remembered how grindy it was to get element. So is there a way to increase the drop rates for all the bosses in the island, scorched earth, aberration, and extinction.Thank you help would be greatly appreciated :)

The dino loot tables are adjustable with the same code as beacons.

I suggest the 3rd party beacon app program. It provides a nice user interface, a sharing library, and a active and helpful discord for help.

Thanks but I don’t really want to get a third party program.

And how do I do the code to change it? Cause you were talking about loot tables using the same code as beacons. How does that work if I want to change the element drop rates?

Good luck writing the code by hand. It's explained here.

You have to give each version of the boss a new loot table to select from.

If you'd rather be lazy, in my post history there is a thread with someone who posted the complete working code for each boss in the game.

Edit: found it! Post 8 has the goods, adjust as desired.

Edit 2: this was done before extinction... So you will need to hammer out that one if applicable.
