Realistic Loot Magnet

Description
Based on the work of Assailer, this is a merged mod with a more realistic range for quality of life (QoL) while trying to not too be overly exploitable.

With this Mod
Tested on update 4.20 with all DLC
Ships you pilot will magnet in loot from a radius between 500m-8km depending on ship size
    Magnet Radius Table
  • XS - 500m
  • S - 1km
  • M - 2km
  • L - 4km
  • XL - 8km

Capital Ships you own while flying anywhere in the galaxy magnet loot between 4km-8km same as table above only you DO NOT need to be flying them for this to occur L will loot 1 item while XL loots 4 items, this also helps clean up clutter after a big battle and improve performance slightly.


Essentially this mod is the combination of both Assailer's
Fly-by Looting & Capital Ship Loot Magnet combined into one script so the credit goes to that author for the concept and original code base, this mod was made with reduced magnet radius to be less abusive in terms of unrealistically far collection distances and shared here so others could alternatively use this one.

Oh I see, so it applies to cargo drones,escape pods, defence drones etc. as well?

This is because the mod applies the values to player owned ships so for instance if you send a ship off to collect loot all player own ships benefit from the increased loot range while fly by looting is also enabled so just flying around auto loots.

I notice you have a magnet range for XS ships but I haven't found any mods that let you fly XS ships, if you've found one I'd love to know what it's called, it would be nice to have a civilian shuttle for getting from A to B sometimes.
