📋 About This Mod
I am indefinitely postponing updates to my 7D2D mods in response to TFP/BHVR recent actions.
Improve birdnest loot slightly by increasing feather amount, egg amount and egg spawn chance.
Three options with different amounts of feathers and eggs. Loot chance is the same for all options.
Modded values:
All options:
Feather chance: 100%
Egg chance: 50%
Low option:
Feather amount: 5-10
Egg amount: 1-2
Mid option:
Feather amount: 8-13
Egg amount: 2-3
High option:
Feather amount: 10-15
Egg amount: 3-5
These amounts are further affected by Loot Abundance setting of your game, e.g. at 200% Loot Abundance there would be twice as many feathers and eggs as stated above (thanks grinyov777).
For more birdnests in the world see my mod More Birdnests.
