Frequently asked questions
Q: Does this mod alter the locations of the supply drops?
A: No, the supply drop locations are part of the map that you run.

Q: Does this mod work on any Ark Survival Evolved map? Including Mod Maps?
A: Yes, this mod will work with any Ark map.

Q: Will this mod work in single player or with a locally hosted game?
A: Yes

Q: Will I always get good stuff from the beacons if I install this mod?
A: No, the point of this mod is to add chances to get great items but to also add more varitey to the drops to give items that can be usefull to players.

Q: Why do the red drops have things from the lower level drops in them.
A: The mod does not alter how drops behave. The core ark red drops have a chance of droping anything out of the level 25, 35, 45 and 60 loot lists. This is a way to make the red drops much more uncertain and not always give overpowerd items.

I have a question to add that may or may not be asked frequently:
Does it have to be at the top of the load order?

No, It will work anywhere in load order. The only thing special is that it remaps the drops to new files so you can't use it with another mod that will remap those same files.

@Pumbovik: The mod won't make beacons not show up. What map are you running?

@Fluffy, Slayer of Men: No, it will work in other positions. I have it second now on my server. I had it first for a while. It should work in any position.

@pumbovik: Yea, Valhalla the beacons are slow to appear and they're very spread out. I run valhalla too. As far as artifacts go, I was waiting on the Valhalla devs to see if they added them soon. I didn't want to give them too easy for people playing on TheIsland map. But I agree Valhalla needs. I'll increase them a little and see how it is.

As far as more locations, the locations are actually part of the map itself. I'm noticing more beacons since the Valhalla map update. The biggest issue is that they don't render from far away. Sometimes you can see the ball of light from far and know where they are. TheIsland map this isn't a problem because scale of everything is much smaller.

Hello, if I alter the vanilla loot crate content via the .ini, will this have any effect on my game while using Beacon Enhancer? My goal was to include some of my server's important starter items in white beacons, leaving all other beacons the same.

I don't think it would work but there is a chance. Use the beacon enhancer names for the SupplyCrateClassString. For example: SupplyCrate_Level03_Child instead of SupplyCrate_Level03_C. There is a list of them here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/609425335/405691491114545095/
