This works exactly as described, and adds a certain element of suspense to every safe I crack - will it have something with a star icon in it? Very much liked, and very much endorsed! Though it may encourage safe-scumming on non-survival, and is certainly not for purists. But I loves it.
Found the first one in one of the sanctuary safes, 2nd safe I tried after installing the mod, scrounger level 2. I also had it on my last run, and if you invest in scrounger, this indeed scales up. If you're not finding any, it is just the RNG at work and keep in mind that certain legendaries also only appear after you hit a certain level. For testing, save outside an interior location that has a safe, go in, crack safe, check contents, reload. See how the drop rates really look after you did that 20 times. Then give yourself scrounger perk at different tiers via console and try again. If it is dropping no stars at all persistently, your load order might need changing. You might be using another mod like GCM that can mess with legendary drop rates. Did not realize that on my last run and kept wondering why so few stars dropped from safes with scrounger 3 - until I played with the GCM settings a bit and they started reappearing.
I'm starting to feel like this stops working after a while. I had 3 legendaries between levels 1 and 15, in mostly Novice and Advanced safes. I'm now level 47 and have cleared out many Expert and Master safes and have gotten nothing since level 15.
Is it possible that the *horrible* vanilla safe loot list is to blame? Since I'm too high level for a Pipe Pistol to be a legendary, nothing can spawn?
EDIT: Scratch that, got a Poisoner's Synth Chest Piece in a master-lock safe at level 55. Guess anything can spawn, and I just went on a dry-streak.
I've been using this mod for quite some time. Always played with max scrounger so I always get legendaries even from novice safes. But somehow in my second play through with max scrounger I don't always get legendaries. Even with a master lock safe. Its probably less than 20% chance now.
Could the Creative Perks mod affect the chances because it changes the scrounger perk. I also use GCM to tweak legendary enemy spawns. What settings should I use so it wont affect the safes?
Did you find a solution to this? I got 3 points in both lockpick and scrounger on my new character and i find 1 legendary maybe once in every 50 safes. I have several weapon mods if that means anything.
If you change percentages for legendary spawns, this will effect the chance of getting legendary in safe. Set GCM to 4.75 (or higher) and .25 (the other value) for good chance. First number matter more I thinks. This make for more legendary monster in world. This script seems funny to me also. Sometimes better than other time. Also scrounger helps. There other mod that has legends in Boss trunks. I like it better maybe. :)
This is an Amazing idea, But if you don't mind, Would you tell us how scrounger perk affects its spawn rate more specifically? After playing a few days with this mod, i find this mod is quite satisfactory Fair chance of items, No more time grinding save and load s#*!, And traveling gets more interesting Thank you for your awesome work.
this is a great mod. there is one thing i would add to this if i could though. that would be an option to make all safes just contain a legendary once you get the last rank of scrounger. any chance of that happening? :)
I had the same idea since farming legendaries with such long loading times if painful (i know load accellerator works, but i can hear the strain it puts on my GPU and i don't want to kill such expensive piece of hardware). I'm looking into CK in order to mod it myself, but my knowledge of modding stops at basic stuff. If i manage to find out how to modify the percentages, i'll let you know, otherwise i hope the creator manages to provide a modified script version.
