Adding Tranq Items into Beacon Loot Crates?
I've been thinking, now that we have the commands to adjust beacon loot contents using the game's config file, would it be possible to add items from this mod into the crates? So for example there could be a small chance of finding a mastercraft rifle in a yellow chest, while a red one could rarely offer a small supply of the massive tier darts as ammo?

I ask this because as far as I can tell, the code for the loot crates does not stipulate a folder structure for the game to look in when picking items to spawn. It doesn't use the full blueprint path of 'Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/etcetc', just the final identifier of the blueprint: 'PrimalItem_WeaponGun' or 'PrimalItemArmor_ClothShirt'. Therefore I assume that the game only checks official files for this loot, and we players would not be able to force it to check the mod folder for items as well.

But does anyone know for sure if that assumption is the case, or am I mistaken? Is there a way to get the game to look into mod files too, and perhaps add some mod items in addition to the vanilla drops that can be found in these crates? If anyone has any info it'd be much appreciated, thanks in advance^^

Last i heard is that the devs want us to be a le to map any available items as loot but it currently only supports core items.

Thanks very much for the response^^ It's a shame that adding things in this manner isn't supported at the moment, but good to hear they're planning to add it...here's hoping they do so soon!

And thanks also for linking that other mod, I'll have a look into it and see if it's something I'd be interested in. Indeed, much appreciation for all your work bringing these mods to us, keep up the good work :D
