Customizing Loot Tables

In Ark: Survival Evolved (ASE), editing supply crate configurations manually is notoriously difficult. The complex syntax, featuring multiple layers of nested parentheses and specific class names, makes manual coding prone to errors. To ensure your loot tables work perfectly, we strongly recommend using Beacon Omni, the industry-standard tool for Ark server configuration.
