Latest file for v1.19.8:
UsefulDrifterLoot 1.1.0.zip
1-click install
First mod I've made.
Simple mod that rebalances drop rates for drifters. This mod will not work with other mods that override the droptables for drifters.
This mod aims to keep vanilla balance mostly intact, making the game only slightly easier. Simply put, you won't find empty drifters anymore, making them more worthwhile to cut open.
- All drifters will now drop at least 1 gear piece. You can combine 8 of these to make a rusty gear.
- All drifters have a chance to drop molybdochalkos nuggets. Generally one of the least useful metals, used for lanterns and decoration.
- Surface drifters now rarely drop metal scrap, limestone rocks, sticks, cattails and salt.
- Deep drifters now rarely drop metal scrap
- Higher tier drifters drop more gear pieces and molybdochalkos nuggets.

Any plans to update for the new mobs in 1.20?
elYandrack 9412 downloads, if it contained anything fishy, it wouldn't be here anymore. It's a great mod, and you can edit the files yourself afterwards to make more changes that suit your needs.
Navarlio Custom Crafts conflicts with this mod, just delete all drifter files from Navarlio Custom Crafts and everything will be fine :)
OMG, the 4 kilobyte crypto miner!!!
Joking aside, very good mod, thanks!

It is a bunch of JSON text files. It's not going to install software on your server. All it does is change the loot tables and add a small item to the game. If you're that afraid, either download it and look at the contents of the zip, or don't download it. And insinuating that the modding community is putting malware in their mods is insulting. Most modders do what they do cause they love the game they are modding.

It's not viruses that worry me. Now it is very fashionable to introduce crypto mining software to use the resources of other users for one's own benefit.
In my opinion:
A mod can be generated by contributing to the community in which case it is published so that others can improve it without the intention of profit.
Or you can publish a mod to try to benefit yourself. If your mod does not have a public code so that others can improve it altruistically. But you also don't ask for donations or to buy it with money...
There is a high probability that it contains something suspicious. It's just my opinion but I think I've explained it.
elYandrack
Sorry? What would publishing it to github accomplish? Nothing. There is absolutely no guarantee that what is on github is in the download. So if you want to know what is in the download, you will need to download it. There is no other way.
Once you download it, feel free to scan it for malware/viruses, then unzip it and look at all of the text files with your favorite text editor (because again, this mod only contains text files).
If the mod did in fact contain code then the same thing applies - there's absolutely no guarantee that it matches what is on github. So find yourself a decompiler like dnSpy or ilSpy and decompile the dll if you really want to know what's in the mod.

If it doesn't have anything strange, why not publish it?
We just want to review everything before installing it on the server. And I think everyone should do the same.

This is a content mod. It has no "code" - it's a bunch of text files. Doesn't really warrant a github page.
Hello, we think it's a very interesting mod but before putting it on our server we need to review the code to make sure everything is in order.
The link to ''github'' seems broken. Could you fix it?
Thank you very much the mod looks great

Strange, I'm currently running a sizeable modpack with both expanded foods and useful drifters enabled, and I've not had any issues related to them. Your best bet is to turn off mods other than UDL like 1-5 at a time until the issue stops occuring, then re-enable mods from the group you just disabled one by one until you find the culprit that conflicts with the mod, then I can see if it can be helped or not.
Ketrai I'd guess that it's expanded foods then- it seems to nerf the amount of fat you get when slaughtering. There may be an oddball interaction between the two. The issue only happend with UDL installed(and toggled on), and went away as soon as I toggled it off and reloaded. I can't think of anything else I have messing with critter drops except maybe the repairable locust mod- but that doesn't touch drifters or hogs, so I can't immagine that's it.
Bach_Treebane You should be able to press H on a gear to get the help book recipe. It's 8 pieces in a 2x2 configuration.
@Eranderil This may be a cross compatability issue with another mod, as I can't reproduce this issue when having just xskills and useful drifter loot enabled. With the relevant skills skilled that affect loot drops. As useful drifter loot only affects drifters, crashes/errors should only happen when trying to loot drifters. When other mobs are involved, it pretty much has to be something funkier going on.
Xskills conflict seems to still be present. I killed a pig and had no visible drops but corpse also did not turn to bones. Disabling this mod and relaunching resulted in pig being lootable. I am also using Xskills and Xleveling.
Hi I'm having an issue with a part of the mod. Everything is dropping as normal, however my gear pieces aren't able to be crafted into a full gear. I have tried many combinations of the 8 pieces: all but center, in center but with one missing from exterior, all eight in just one slot. I have several hundred pieces now.....
New release. Should there still be xskills conflicts let me know.
- Should work for 1.19.x
Will this mod be updated for 1.19.x?
Does this mod still work?
Hello, We are getting a game crash when we loot drifter with an unhandled exception. the drifter loot box becomes empty and the items are invisible after the crash? thoughts ?
There are conflicts with the XScills mod again ... In the empty slots, most likely - what was added by the XScills mod.
Could you please make gear pieces craftable? I woud love to use them as a currency on my server, but if players want to buy stuff that's cheaper than 1 gear and they have crafted all pieces into gears already, we run into trouble. A simple recipe that converts them back would be awesome.
I assume this doesn't alter temporal gear drops at all? Because after getting the mod we've been getting a massive influx of them.
Maybe we're just lucky
I'll take a look into possible XSkills conflicts.
The XSkills crash has been happening on my server as well for players with the looter skill. They had to unlearn the skill to stop crashing.
Is there a config for this mod? If not, could you make one?
Also can anyone confirm the xskills crash too?
This appears to be causing client crashes when used in combination with the XSkills "looter" skill (when a client with said skill tries to harvest a drifter). Somehow.
Thank you for updating to 1.18.1! This mod gives me a reason to murder drifters, and not feel like i'm wasting my time!
@0mni
They do drop temporary gears. Yesterday two among about 30 drifters more
patience and faith xd
is this in addition to the original loot drops like gears and temporal gears dont seem to be dropping from regular drifters anymore.
ahh yes, thank you very much.
thank.
rebus
Press H on a gear piece to open the handbook recipe for it.
...You can combine 8 of these to make a rusty gear. What ? where?
Thank you.
This is a lovely spin on loot-drops! I salute you, thankees!
