Austerity - Loot Reduction Mod
Feedback on Version 0.2.1
Really good job 👍
I like the changes, going in the right direction.
I just war hopping in singleplayer and ran in cheat mode for 90min around the map and slaughter NPCs and some Bosses. I really liked how it felt, I really see the vision of crafting again 😄

But I found that the Bearer Load which can drop or for example there is standing on directly at the campfire and I think always spawns at Lian's Watch. When I first opened it and got 500 Alchemical Base's plus 500 Bones I was kinda shocked 😅
I mean the amount I think is ok, but if possible maybe also make the spawn of such Resource-Stashes less possible maybe 🤔 And for Bearer the drop-rate also very rare. Just one thing to look out for, because its also a way skipping some stuff.

Then I thought Armor still drops way to much especially nordheimer the armor for the hands. But maybe I was just unlucky?
Also weapons, Freyas Hovel the chest has quite the high chance of spawning a perfectly balanced weapon. I also found one in New-Asgarth. Maybe also lower those amounts.
For the normal weapons I think weapons could go for maybe even 0.25% or 0.33%
For Armor I think it also is still too high 😅 I got waaaaay to much still dropped, so I could recycle those. Just a bit less I think is fine. I think 1.5% could be maybe fit quite good.

One thing I found strange was when I slayen a Boss (here the White Tiger) and it would drop me 1 hardened Brick or like 2 Steelfire😅 and some other random stuff, not really some fitting loot I think. But I don't know how the tables are controlled. Just wanted to mention it that it happened.

Also I think the chance for Jailors to drop their Armor and stuff (I exclude the key here) is still quite high.

So yeah how exactly to solve the legendary and perfectly balanced weapons I also dont know, but you got it in your mind, so I think you will find with time some good balancing for it 👍

The general Chest Loot I found quite good. Nothing I really found I would mention here atm. Really liked how that change turned out. 🥰

I cant think of more right now. Really nice Patch 👍and I am eager to see how the next one will be. 🤗

Good observations! I will do some more of my own testing to see how it feels from my end. Dismantling is the biggest problem when it comes to gear drops. Like you mentioned, the amount of materials you can get from it is absolutely insane.

Come to think of it, I might look into it if I could change the amount of materials coming from the dismantling bench. That would balance it out I think.

The 500 alchemical base and bones sounds bad. I really don't want that to happen with this mod. I will look into it!

Currently I am working on a food and water overhaul mod as well. But I'll see if I could update this mod today or tomorrow as well.

Thank you for your very valuable feedback! :DerketoMask:

Yeah, I mean I think 500 alchemical base or sometimes they have like I think 500-1000 ironore or firesteel, feathers, etc. I kinda think thats sometimes fine, but it really need to be so rare that its more likely to drop a weapon. I mean 500 alchemical bases are quick used up, but if I can consistently find such possible drop at Lians Watch then yeah if the spawn rate cannot be reduced the amount obviously has to 😅
Ok also a bad thing. I rescured an Thrall out of his prision cell and he was full on in PlantFiber cloths. But he had an Obsidian GreatSword. So thats also a bad way of getting a weapon 😅

I'll see what I can do about those!

A new update is coming soon, today or tomorrow, but it's mostly a "housekeeping" update. I realized some errors I had done while working on the mod (that affect future compatibility), and wanted to fix them (It's my first mod release, so it's still a learning process).

But I'll see if I can put some changes for these issues in as well! :DerketoMask:
@Sinathor Yeah no problem at all. And don't stress because of my feedback 🤗
I am just providing all the information I find. I currently started playing with your mod a coop-server and so far love it 🥰
