CoreLoot

Pure vanilla loot multiplier for Rust with aggressive single-pass processing for maximum performance and reliability.

CoreLoot modifies existing loot amounts without replacing vanilla loot tables, keeping the game feeling completely vanilla while allowing full control over loot scaling.

Features

• Pure vanilla loot system
• No custom loot tables

• Per-container multipliers
• Per-item multipliers
• Item blacklist support

How It Works

CoreLoot does not replace Rust's vanilla loot system.

Instead, it:

1. Lets vanilla loot spawn normally
2. Processes the container once
3. Multiplies item amounts
4. Permanently marks the container to prevent duplication

This ensures:

• Better performance
• No infinite stacking bugs
• No repeated processing
• Fully vanilla-compatible loot behavior

Configuration

{
  "Global Multiplier": 2.0,
  "ItemListMultipliers": {
    "scrap": 3.0,
    "rifle.ak": 1.5
  },
  "Containers": {
    "crate_normal": {
      "Enabled": true,
      "Multiplier": 2.0
    },
    "crate_elite": {
      "Enabled": true,
      "Multiplier": 3.0
    }
  },

  ]
}

Configuration Options

Setting	Description
Global Multiplier	Default multiplier used for all containers
ItemListMultipliers	Overrides multiplier for specific items
Containers	Individual container settings
Blacklist	Prevents selected items from being modified

---

Container Multipliers

Each loot container can have its own multiplier.

Example:

"crate_elite": {
  "Enabled": true,
  "Multiplier": 5.0
}

This allows:

• Elite crates to give more loot
• Basic crates to stay balanced
• Fine-tuned progression

---

Item Multipliers

Specific items can override container multipliers.

Example:

"ItemListMultipliers": {
  "scrap": 5.0,
  "ammo.rifle": 2.0
}

This is useful for:

• Increasing resources
• Reducing weapon inflation
• Adjusting economy balance

---

Blacklist

Prevent certain items from being modified.

Example:

"Blacklist": [
  "explosive.timed",
  "rocket.launcher"
]

Useful for:

• Preventing explosive inflation
• Protecting server balance
• Controlling progression

---

Automatic Container Detection

CoreLoot automatically detects loot containers currently on the map and populates the config with them.

No manual setup required.

---

Performance

CoreLoot was designed for performance-first servers.

Features include:

• Single-pass loot processing
• Permanent container markers
• Minimal hook usage
• No loot table rebuilding
• No unnecessary item creation

This makes it ideal for:

• Large population servers
• Modded servers
• PvP servers
• Performance-sensitive environments

---

Installation

1. Download CoreLoot.cs
2. Place into:

oxide/plugins/

3. Reload plugin:

oxide.reload CoreLoot

4. Edit configuration file if needed
5. Use refresh command if required

---

Notes

• Existing containers may require refresh after config changes
• Multipliers are capped by Rust item stack sizes
• Containers are only processed once
• Plugin preserves vanilla loot behavior
