🎴 Migration to SPT 4.0

✨ TL;DR

• 🚀 Full migration to C# for SPT 4.0
• 🎯 Rarity‑first loot
• 🔕 Quiet logs

🔄 Loot: what changed (simple explanation)

Imagine cards are candies and containers are jars.

Before (1.x / SPT 3.11)

• We tossed candies into jars one by one.
• Result: some jars got too many, others too few. Hard to keep balance.

Now (2.0 / SPT 4.0)

• We sort candies by color (rarity) first, then share each color fairly across jars.
• Result: it’s fairer, more predictable, and easier to tune.

What this means for you

• Common cards show up regularly; rare ones stay rare.
• Big containers don’t drown out small ones: each jar keeps its share.
• You get one big slider for “more/less cards” for the whole game, and small sliders for specific containers.

How to adjust in 10 seconds

• Too many cards? lower the big slider (card_weight_multiplier).
• Not enough? raise it gently.
• One container too hot or too cold? tweak only its multiplier (container_multipliers).

📝 Notes

• 2.0 focuses on stability and clarity: clean orchestration, dedicated domain services, better loot generation system.

Happy collecting — and enjoy tuning! 🎉

🎴 Tarkov Trading Cards v1.4 — 200 new cards, smarter spawns, Fence control

✨ TL;DR

• 🎯 Default card drop rate reduced by 5× (safer baseline)
• 🎛️ Per‑container loot multipliers for precise tuning
• 🔒 Fence selling toggle with auto‑blacklist when disabled

📦 New content: +200 cards and 10 new themes

• 200 new cards total.
• Distribution:
  • Old themes: +5 cards each.
  • New themes (10): +15 cards per new theme.
• Themed binders are available so you can collect by category.

🆕 New themes

• 🐞 bugged_reality — Glitches, desyncs, and cursed moments from Tarkov’s twilight zone.
• 🏆 legends_of_scav_life — The mythos of everyday Scav survival.
• 🏆 legends_of_the_wipe — Iconic wipe highlights and community milestones.
• 💀 many_ways_to_die — Creative casualties and lessons learned the hard way.
• 🧩 mods_spt_legends — Community mod nods and SPT hall‑of‑fame moments.
• 🗒️ patch_note_parodies — “What if?” balance notes you can actually laugh at.
• 🎭 player_archetypes_and_playstyles — From Chad to Rat and everything between.
• ⚖️ spt_vs_eft — Witty contrasts between SPT and official EFT quirks.
• 📺 streamer_moments — Memorable clips and streamer‑made lore.
• 🤦 tarkov_fails — Oops. Boom. Extract denied.

🎯 Default spawn rate reduced (5×)

• The global baseline for TTC card drops is now 5× lower to reduce saturation by default.
• Keep card_weight_multiplier = 1 for the new baseline. If you previously tuned it, note that 1 now roughly matches the old 0.2 feeling.

🎛️ Per‑container loot multipliers

• container_multipliers lets you scale TTC card spawns per container template ID (globally, all maps).
  • 1 keeps defaults, <1 reduces, >1 increases.
  • Example: cut Safe spawns in half by setting its template ID to 0.5.

🔒 Fence blacklist option

• New flag: cards_sold_on_fence in config/mod_config.jsonc.
  • When false, TTC cards are purged from Fence’s assort and added to his blacklists so refreshes can’t reintroduce them.
  • When true, Fence may sell TTC cards.

⚙️ Configure at a glance

• cards_sold_on_fence: Allow or block Fence from selling TTC cards.
• card_weight_multiplier: Global knob for all card drop weights.
• container_multipliers: Per‑container scaling (by template ID).

Happy collecting, and have fun tuning! 🎉

🎴 Tarkov Trading Cards — Configuration & Quality of Life Update

This release brings configuration improvements, bug fixes, and quality of life enhancements based on community feedback.

🚀 New Features

• Centralized Flea Market Control
  Added global “cards_tradeable_on_flea” setting in mod_config.jsonc to control flea market access for all cards (default: false - raid-only).
• Centralized Card Examination
  Added global “cards_examined_by_default” setting in mod_config.jsonc to control card examination behavior (default: false - cards show as “???” until examined).
• Configurable Rarity-Based Pricing
  Trader sell prices are now configurable in mod_config.jsonc by rarity level (defaults: Common: 5k, Uncommon: 10k, Rare: 22.5k, Epic: 50k, Legendary: 150k, Secret: 400k roubles).
• Secure Container Compatibility
  Empty Booster containers can now be stored in all secure containers (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Kappa, etc.).

🛠️ Technical Improvements

• Structured Rarity Weights
  Rarity weights now organized in a proper object structure with comprehensive validation that prevents configuration errors. The system will throw an error if weights don’t sum to exactly 1.0 (defaults: Common: 50%, Uncommon: 28%, Rare: 15%, Epic: 5%, Legendary: 1.5%, Secret: 0.5%).

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed Cards Falling Through Ground
  Resolved physics issues causing cards to disappear when dropped.

• Removed Problematic Spawn Containers
  Eliminated spawn issues with specific quest items and PMC bodies (ground zero).

📝 Migration Notes

• No action required for most users — new global settings in mod_config.jsonc will control card behavior with sensible defaults.
• If you previously modified configuration files, you may need to update your settings to use the new centralized options.

This update maintains full backward compatibility while improving the user experience! 🎴

🎴 Tarkov Trading Cards — Containers Update

This release introduces dedicated card containers: one no‑duplicate binder per theme and a compact Empty Booster for quick runs.

🚀 New

• Themed Binders (no duplicates)

  Each TTC theme now has its own binder that accepts exactly one copy of each card in that theme. Ideal for tracking collection progress and keeping your stash tidy.

• Empty Booster — 12 cards

  A lightweight 4×4 container that holds up to 12 cards. Great for looting, sorting, and extracting your finds in one bundle.

🛒 Availability

• All new containers are sold by Prapor at LL1.

  Pick them up early and start organizing from your first raids.

🧰 Quality of Life

• Binders automatically reject duplicates, so you can instantly see what you’re missing.
• Still compatible with SICC/DOCS containers.

🗺️ Notes & Roadmap

• Binders are meant for collection tracking: one slot = one target card.
• Empty Booster is a storage container, not a random pack opener (yet). Booster packs that open into random cards are planned for a future update.
• Planned: a universal “Album” container that can hold all TTC cards in one place, unlockable via quest progression.

Happy hunting — and happy organizing! 🎴

• Fixed broken comment block in mod_config.json (global spawn rate multiplier is now usable)
• Updated probabilities.json with proper default values
• No major gameplay changes

“Lean Loot, Clean Stash” – v1.1.0 Rebalance Update

“Fewer cards, more excitement!”

Players asked, I listened: this release is focused on sharply reducing how often cards drop while giving you more control over the odds.

🔻 Big Drop-Rate Rebalance

• Card weight multiplier (new, in mod_config.json)

  • 0 – cards never spawn
  • 0.5 – low
  • 1 – ≈ 9 % chance per loot roll (previous default, was ~50 %) – normal
  • 2 – medium
  • 3 – high

• Rarity pool fix: the total weight for each rarity is now split across all cards of that rarity, so adding new cards no longer floods containers.

📦 Always-accurate spawn data

auto_update_probabilities = true keeps the internal loot tables synced with every new SPT-AKI version—no more outdated drop stats.

📚 Card storage quality-of-life

Your TTC cards now fit into:

• S I C C case
• DOC case

🗂️ Cleaner files, lighter mod

Cards share a single base template; individual files now hold only the unique bits (ID, name, price, rarity, etc.). Smaller downloads, easier future updates.

How to tweak drops yourself

Open config/mod_config.json

“card_weight_multiplier”: 1, // set 0–N (0.5 = low, 1 = normal, 2 = medium, 3 = high) “Common”: 0.50, “Uncommon”: 0.28, “Rare”: 0.15, “Epic”: 0.05, “Legendary”: 0.015, “Secret”: 0.005 // rarities MUST add up to 1.0 Raise or lower the multiplier, or edit rarity fractions—power is yours.

Enjoy a cleaner stash, saner raids, and the same thrill of the chase without drowning in duplicates.

Happy hunting!
