B+ Loot Editor
If you have spent any time managing a server in ARK: Survival Ascended, you know the pain of tweaking loot tables. The old way involved editing configuration files, restarting the server, and hoping your changes worked. The B+ Loot Editor completely eliminates that headache. This add-on lets you add, remove, and edit loot drops live in-game using a built-in widget. No restarts, no manual file editing—changes are applied instantly.
This tool is a lifesaver for server admins, modders, and dedicated community hosts. Whether you are adjusting a single supply drop or rebalancing an entire boss fight, the B+ Loot Editor gives you the power to do it without breaking your gameplay flow. It is designed specifically for ARK: Survival Ascended, supporting the latest game versions and working seamlessly with other popular mods. You can access all settings through the player radial wheel when logged in as an admin, making it intuitive even for those who are not technically inclined.
Editing Supply Drops in Real Time
The core functionality of the B+ Loot Editor for ARK: Survival Ascended revolves around its robust supply drop editing. You can edit supply drops, including Lost Colony missions and OSD's (including B+ Spawners and Astraeos), all in real time. The interface is clean and straightforward, allowing you to see the impact of your changes immediately.
With the supply drop editor, you can:
- Add or remove items from any container.
- Set the number of item sets each container receives.
- Adjust item set weight to control rarity.
- Configure item quantity and quality precisely.
One of the most powerful aspects of this system is the tier hierarchy. Higher-tier containers use item sets from lower tiers. This means that removing an item set from a lower tier will usually affect higher tiers as well. For example, if you remove a common weapon from a blue drop, it will likely also disappear from purple and red drops. However, you can create a custom item set and add items to it, which will apply only to that specific container type. This allows for granular control without disrupting the overall loot ecosystem.
Dino Drop Customization
Beyond supply crates, the B+ Loot Editor also handles dino loot drops. You can edit dino loot drops for dinos that already have predefined drops, including bosses. This is perfect for creating unique farming experiences or balancing endgame content.
Here is what you can modify for dinos:
- Add or remove items from a dino's drop table.
- Set the number of item sets per drop.
- Adjust item set weight.
- Modify item quantity and quality.
There is a crucial limitation to be aware of: many dinos share the same underlying drop file. Because of this, some dinos will end up sharing the same drops. If you modify a shared file, you might unintentionally change the loot for several creatures. To limit changes to the dino type, it is recommended to create a new custom item set and add your items to that set instead of modifying the shared ones. This best practice ensures that your custom loot stays isolated and predictable.
