STALLIONSDENS & VALMARS A21/V1.0 Modlets

My apologizes if that was asked before, but can I change a value in the Combine returned mod to allow it to combine to level 6?

 
Hi :D
Some friends and I decided to try your valmars mods, but we've been having some problems 😕
The primary problem we are trying to fix right now, is that most types of trash/loot containers contain a bunch of the same types of special crafting related items.
I can't remember them all off the top of my head but, for example:
When I start a game with *only* the Valmars Sealed Meat mod active, I suddenly start getting a bunch of plastic wrap in almost every container.
When I disable that mod, and start with *only* the Valmars Dye Station - Colour Your Armor mod active, I suddenly start getting a dye and spray paint in almost every loot container.
I spent about 3 hours on this earlier today and my brain is burnt out, so i thought it was time to ask a professional lol
any ideas?

yeah, there's other loot.
I just generated a brand new world with only the dye mod active, to eliminate the possibility that there was a problem with the world i'd generated earlier, and these are the first two loot bags i opened.

so the problem persists even on a newly generated world with only the one mod active.
when we had most of the mods active, the loot containers that didn't have the items like these, usually just had an empty clay bowl and no other loot.
I can't remember much specifics because we did so much testing that it's all a blur, but i can try and answer other questions if you have any :)
I was streaming while trying out the mods, so if you want to see some of it in action, i'll include a couple of links.
but, keep in mind, these are long and *unedited* streams, so it might require a lot of fast-forwarding and rewinding to see what's relevant 😜
This is my wife and i trying out the modded game last night running off of our dedicated home server
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1577559346
And this is from today, on a single player game, when I got serious about trying to figure out what mods might be causing problems.

If you have any questions, let me know :)

what are your loot respawns set at in the settings

On the game in the pictures, loot is set to default/100%
in the videos, I think loot was usually set at 150, but i think i changed it a couple of times

see for example the sealedmeat loot.xml reads this - 

```<append xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='groupCupboard01']">    
        <item name="Clingwrap" count="1,3" loot_prob_template="veryLow" />
</append>
<append xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='groupJunk']">    
        <item name="Clingwrap" count="1,3" loot_prob_template="veryLow" />
</append>
<append xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='groupGarbage']">    
        <item name="Clingwrap" count="1,3" loot_prob_template="veryLow" />
</append>
<append xpath="/lootcontainers/lootgroup[@name='groupBackpacks01']">    
        <item name="Clingwrap" count="1,3" loot_prob_template="veryLow" />
</append>```

so you will find them in cupboards, junk, garbage and backpacks. 

so if you are looting them and getting them everytime that has to be something else as the settings are veryLow. 
will keep prodding it tho and see

yeah, my buddy looked into on of the config files thinking he could turn the spawn rate down, but said it was already set very low.
I didn't touch or alter any of the mod files. The only changes i made, were through the regular game menu when I started. and on the last game i put the loot back to 100% before i generated the world. So I can't think of anything I would have done that would have changed spawn frequency or anything.
for reference, we are on a20.6. I created the install using mod launcher, but then added the mod files manually, since they weren't available directly through the mod launcher.
