Biome Progression Off question

Hi, guys, I have an issue that is bugging me for sometime.
I made a huge world with only pine forest (mostly), a little desert and snow.
I wanted mostly to explore the pine forest so I turned Biome Progression offf.
But, by doing so, my lootstage seems still very capped at 45, while in the desert is about 89 or 90. At level 30 something I am still getting stone tools in police cars. Very crappy loot.
Shouldn't the lootstage be the same since biome progression is off? I don't want nor need the huge gap in lootstage. How can I address that?
Thanks!

Are you sure it is actually capped? If it is, you'll see an icon with an exclamation point on it at the top right of your screen where you see the current biome name (assuming you're not using a UI mod to change where they are). Loot drops seem to have been changed in 2.0, which is unrelated to a cap on the loot stage. Some things are just dropping less often.

Even with biome hazards enabled, I found a fire axe and multiple wrenches in the forest.
 
I don't think it is actually capped, but the progression does not feel satisfactory. The loot feels very unrewarding, with a huge gap compared to the desert. In a regular progression that would be fine, but since my world is basically a giant pine forest it is not cool. I think I will have to dabble with the biome. xml. Thanks for the input and your time, tough.
 
Pine forest doesn't have any modifications to lootstage compared to the other biomes (just POI loot stage modifications).

FYI, I already have a modlet that you can modify to tweak the biome modifications (link below). Instructions are included inside the file on how to modify the values

Agree I have biome progression off and it’s not capped on console. As you level up the loot should improve no matter which biome you happen to be in
