It is fairly easy to modify the loot table of the machine to override the current one for all or just specific biomes, or even add loot to customs turfs.

All you need to do is create a file named "modmmloottable.lua" in [your_mod_folder]/scripts

This lua file should contains the following :



MODMMLOOTTABLE = {} -- declare the modified loottable

MODMMLOOTTABLE["BIOME_".."the number associated to the turf"] = {
TIERONE = -- the tier 1 items loot
{
tierthreshold = 0.7, -- example: here it means 70% of digging a tier 1 item
rocks = 0.33, -- example: 33% to dig rocks if tier 1 is picked
flint = 0.67, -- example: 67-33 = 34% to dig flint if tier 1 is picked
nitre = 1, -- example: 100-67 = 33% to dig nitre if tier 1 is picked
},

TIERTWO = -- the tier 2 items loot
{
tierthreshold = 0.91, -- example: 91-70 = 21% chance to dig item of tier 2
mnzironore = 0.38, -- see tier 1 for explanation
goldnugget = 0.67, -- see tier 1 for explanation
redgem = 0.84, -- see tier 1 for explanation
bluegem = 1, -- see tier 1 for explanation
},

TIERTHREE = -- the tier 3 items loot
{
tierthreshold = 1, -- example: 100-91 = 9% to dig an item of tier 3
marble = 0.67, -- see tier 1 for explanation
moonrocknugget = 1, -- see tier 1 for explanation
},

CHESTMOBS = -- mobs that can pop from your chest after a digging was performed
{
bat = 0.33, --example: 33% to get a bat if a mob was dug out
slurtle = 0.67, --example: 67-33 = 34% to get a slurtke if a mob was dug out
snurtle = 1, --example: 100-67 = 33% to get a snurtle if a mob was dug out
},

ESCAPEMOBS = -- mobs that can escape from the hole
{
rocky = 1, -- same principle than above
}
}






Now in your modmain.lua, just put

require("modmmloottable")
GLOBAL.USERLOOTTABLE = GLOBAL.MODMMLOOTTABLE
