📋 About This Mod
Player capital ships will be gathering inventory loot from a large distance.
This mod should help clearing sectors from debris boosting your FPS and simulation speeds.
Class-L ships will catch a single item from 200 km distance.
Class-XL ships will catch up to 3 items from 400 km distance.
These high powered loot-magnets require 60 seconds recharge for each pull cycle.
I recommend using the Inventory Collector mod, which is a job that allows a fast ship to visit all your capital ships and move their collected items to the player inventory. This will save your time on visiting capships.
Version 3.x compatible.
There is no known compatibility issue with any other mods, also uninstalling shall not affect your save games.
Change log:
1. 05 - Loot magnet should not pick up cargo items anymore. This is a temp solution, there will be configuration option in a coming patch.
1. 01 - Players are not required anymore piloting a ship to get the mod working and the mod runs even in scan mode. Ship captains will gather inventory loot, so you have to visit their ship, talk to them and transfer their inventory instead of magically teleporting the items to you.
Capital Ship Loot Magnet is a QoL mod for X4: Foundations that makes player-owned L and XL capital ships automatically collect inventory loot from debris within a large radius, clearing sectors and boosting performance. It requires visiting ships to transfer loot, and is compatible with version 3.x with no known conflicts.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge QoL boost for sector clearing – 401 endorsements and 21k downloads show it's a community favorite.
- Performance-friendly: reduces debris and helps FPS and simulation speeds.
- Works passively with ship captains, so you can do other things while loot is gathered.
⚠️ Cons
- You still have to manually visit each capital ship and talk to the captain to get the loot – no auto-transfer without the separate Inventory Collector mod.
- 60-second recharge per pull cycle can feel slow if you have many ships or dense debris fields.
- Version 3.x only – if you're on a newer game version, you might need to check compatibility.
For X4 players who hate flying through debris fields and want to keep their sectors clean while boosting performance. If you're a trader or miner with lots of capital ships, this saves you time. Skip if you prefer manual looting or don't use capital ships.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Pair this with the Inventory Collector mod to automate moving loot from your capital ships to your personal inventory – it's a huge time saver.
- Since loot goes to the ship's captain, make sure you have a fast ship to visit them regularly, or you'll miss out on valuable drops.
- If you're on a version newer than 3.x, test the mod in a save you don't care about first to ensure it works.
