Again, if anyone is interested, I've a made a Steam Workshop page now for my mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2482564330

I have made something similar to this mod which is also much simpler, so I doubt it would interfere in the ways I've seen people complaining about here. I don't have a Steam Workshop page setup yet but anyone interested can check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/tukkek/torchlight2-NoLootDrops

This mod also seems to cause most uniques to stop dropping

Because they are white drops, this mod eliminates the elemental ember drops, so I am mostly getting chaos ember, which I regard as pretty worthless.

New Destiny// Because such embers are 'normal'

80% Loot from chest its > ember chaos. I cant get another ember stones, only chaos. Also, from Pagoda im getting scroll for summon traded. Chance for scroll is extremly high. this destroy in-game economy :<

Unless 80% of the loot consists of forgettable weapons

Lootsploosion is not a crisis, it's a reward kiddo.

well, the idea I'm gunning for is to give white gear a better place in the game. Even then, some reduction in quantity would be nice. Good luck with your mod.

two other potential solutions come to mind (wish I could mod:) 1) scale white loot drops back the longer the player plays 2) significantly cut the requirements of white items and slightly cut the requirements of green items. The requirements of rarer gear stays as-is. This latter option may make rare gear feel too weak, but it would at least allow white gear a place in the game: as an easily equippable basic item without a lot of utility for those without a better option.
