I play on a personal server with my wife i noticed each day loot drops changed color. She hates night so she changed it so day lasted forever loot drops never changed. I got her to change to normal settings so the days cycle and they now are changing again weve had white yellow green orange and teal so far still new server
The loot drop colors change when the ship travels to a new region of space. For example orange loot drops correspond with the space region which has black pearls on the asteroids.
I got a tek replicator in one, an indistrual grinder in another, and a tek transmitter in another. Those were consecutive red colored drops. My conclusion: the mission that increases drop quality is 100% worth it to have on at all times.
Drops are always the same colour because they aren't indicative of loot quality, but it indicates the resource currently in space. Light blue, for instance, means ele dust
The drops on Gen 2. White: mutagel/ambergris Green: Crystal Blue: Sulfur Purple: Element shards Yellow: Obsidian Red:Oil Cyan: Element Dust Orange: Black Pearls so if the drops are white then the void area will have mutagel
Hey Steve! Love your stuff! Don’t know if you figured it out yet but the color of the drop changes daily with the rotating resources in the space zone. For example: Purple means element crystals in space and high end weapons like mini guns and tek bows in the Drops. Yellow drops contain high end structures like industrial forges, fabricators, etc. while the resources are different colors of gems and obsidian. That’s all I’ve figured out so far but I’d love seeing your full breakdown. Thanks in advance bud!!
It seems they do change by in game days. I have been farming them and they are always the same color at the same time. (you don't see a blue and a green up at the same time) I have gotten a ton of tek stuff from the light blue beams.
this dlc only came out yesterday and its a pretty big map so give it a break. also quick tip NEVER leave a tamed animal on the tek birdges or anything in the middle because since the tek despawns when you go out of render but your tame doesnt, it falls through the ground
The color of the supply crates is related to what rocks are in the middle space biome. From the wiki: Red: Oil Orange: Black Pearls and Mutagel Yellow: Obsidian and Abberant Gems Green: Crystal Blue: Sulfur Purple: Element/Element Shards Cyan: Element Dust White: Ambergris and Mutagel
you can enhance loot drop quality by doing missions , missions give you server buff for all , breed , maturation , farm , loot quality etc etc , just look at each mission bonus and wen you complete it , all server gains that bonus , the higher dificulty mission the longuer the buff will last , it goes from 3h to 1 day +
The color of the drop tells you what resources are available in the space biom on the ship. That's why they change colors. White is mutagel, green is crystal, blue is sulfur, purple is element shards, yellow is obsidian, red is oil, cyan is element dust and orange is black pearls
@@Skibidirizz24 is that only orange over a few day cycles or is that only orange for that day? Loot crate colour is quite random for day to day so might be worth giving it a few days.
So the colour of the loot drops changes each time the ship jumps and is an indicator to what resources are in space biom. Purple drops mean element, red means oil orange is black pearls
Got more than 20 element and the new hover sail thingy out of those supply crates. Crazy good gear and BP aswell :) thanks for sharing for those who dont know yet :)
the drop color depends on the random cycles that appear in the space biome at midnight; you may be onto somehting about the longer the drops go without being checked that the loot table value increases. That would be impossible to test I think. Shrodingers Supply Drop.
Steve so the color of the drops is determined by what location the ship warped to for example rainbow means that out in space you can harvest ambergris and mutagel and if its purple the ship warped to elm shard location
The loot drops change colour depending on where you are in space. Like your other video Nooblets about when the spaceship travels at certain times. Depending on where it stops changes the loot drop colour
Before going on a looting spree, do the "Circuit Chase" mission in any difficultu, it will really boost loot quality. I got tons of truly epic loot, for instance 143 armor giga saddle, 258% tek bow, 650 armor minor helmet... Also for having loot quite a lot i think the loots you can get depends on the color. I think the tek bows are on purple for example (and you can use it without the engram, best weapon for taming)
white is the new resources, green is crystal, blue is sulfur, pink/purple is element/element shards, yellow is obsidian, red is oil, light blue is element dust and orange is black pearls
Drop colors show what's in lunar Rainbow drops - ambergris lunar Green - crystal lunar Blue- sulfur Purple - element shards Yellow - obsidian Red - oil Cyan- element dust Orange - black pearls
Unfortunately loot crates and supply drops on other maps are all primitive at the moment. I'm guessing there are some serious bugs all around with drops.
Dang. Seems like they want to cut down on the grind in genesis 2. I’m all for some good loot drops and being able to fly right from the start but it does take away from that early period in the game where you’re vulnerable and have to grind to get good gear and be relatively safe when you’re out exploring. I enjoyed that part of the game so to some degree, I feel that these drops are a little overpowered.
Then don't use them. If you enjoy the grind, ignore the loot crates, and throw away your armor. Don't really get why people seem to have this issue. It's the ideal solution. People who enjoy the grind can still experience it, while people who don't can ignore it.

@@eneskaradeniz4311 1) I don't realy know if you understand this world. 2) Google for season pass definition.

I've been playing for about 6 hours in solo mode, at the beginning the drops were mostly white but when I completed the alpha enforcer run mission the drops became big part red. the loot I don't know has changed because I haven't collected many. (I apologize for my English, I'm using google translator because I'm Brazilian and I don't know much about English)
hi, will you do a video where you spawn in x number of each drop color to see if there's any correlation between color and type of loot inside? maybe a rough idea of the loot table maybe. thanks. i know the color corresponds to what mat is on the asteroids, but does each drop color also have its own loot table?
Fun fact The Colour Of Supply Drop Changes To What You Will Find In The lunar biome White = Mutagel Green = crystal Blue = sulfer Purple = Element yellow = obsidian Red = oil Cyan = element dust Gold = black pearls
Played single player for a few hours today and found a tek rifle BP and drake saddle BP. Anyone on offical get tek BP? Curious if it's just my single player settings. Would be a nice alternative to farming extinction
@@kylebrotherton8584 yeah nah i just waited for the space aestorids to have the element crystals and got like 40k element shards and 100 element in ONE GO so. plus you can just buy oil if you od the missions which are actually the easist shit ever with the tek suit
I’m stuck in genesis 2 server because I can’t open any of the supply crates.. I can’t use a terminal because they all have Gigas and turrets protecting them. Wtf

The color shows you what resources are in the space area 😊
noob loot drop colors are tied to what can be farmed in asteroid field,..for example purple means element asteroids
Can you check that loot drops correspond with what resources are in space biome
Just casually get a railgun in a drop
White one to there amazing
I got a longneck rifle with 642.7% damage at level 19
I didn’t know it was possible to play ark and have official rate supply drops be better than some of the modified servers.
In the second drop i opened (a red one) i casually got an industrial forge, and i was level 18-19
Fucking hell you are lucky. I would kill for that.

@King Ghidorah that was obviously a joke
The colors of the drops don’t change the quality of loot, it signifies Which space biome is currently outside
not really each color give different loot
The color of the supply crates is related to what rocks are in the middle space biome.
From the wiki:
Red: Oil
Orange: Black Pearls and Mutagel
Yellow: Obsidian and Abberant Gems
Green: Crystal
Blue: Sulfur
Purple: Element/Element Shards
Cyan: Element Dust
White: Ambergris and Mutagel
you can enhance loot drop quality by doing missions , missions give you server buff for all , breed , maturation , farm , loot quality etc etc , just look at each mission bonus and wen you complete it , all server gains that bonus , the higher dificulty mission the longuer the buff will last , it goes from 3h to 1 day +
The drops match the lunar biome, theres a key somewhere on the internet but for example white = lunar biome is ambergris and mutagel
The beach bobs boutta be scary on gen 2
We found that the loot colors change when ship drops out of hyper space and no drops are available while in hyper space
The color of the drop tells you what resources are available in the space biom on the ship. That's why they change colors. White is mutagel, green is crystal, blue is sulfur, purple is element shards, yellow is obsidian, red is oil, cyan is element dust and orange is black pearls
The loot changes with every day in game so if you have no day and night you get hard stuck with that one loot crate colour
I am only finding orange ones tho . Idk what's happening
@@Skibidirizz24 is that only orange over a few day cycles or is that only orange for that day? Loot crate colour is quite random for day to day so might be worth giving it a few days.

Drop colour relates to what type of resource is in space. Will be helpful learning the colours so you don't have to go to space and check every time
The best shite I got from the drops were a chem bench, grinder, and a 660% metal axe bp.
That’s good for on official and dogshite on solo 😂
@@HarryEnrightTheSecondI really don't mind not having to farm for the chem bench.
The loot verries. Every night at midnight (in game) the ship warps and when it stop the loot changes.
Loot is insane and it changes the color of the drips everyday
Drop colors show what's in lunar
Rainbow drops - ambergris lunar
Green - crystal lunar
Blue- sulfur
Purple - element shards
Yellow - obsidian
Red - oil
Cyan- element dust
Orange - black pearls
I have a little hut worth of TEK structures from these drops. They’re pretty op.
Drops are determined by space area time to redo Noobs, they correspond so for example white drops equeals mutengel in space
FYI the drops change colour every time the ship warps in a cycle going red, purple, orange, yellow, blue ,green and white then back to red
i think that it skips some some times
Unfortunately loot crates and supply drops on other maps are all primitive at the moment. I'm guessing there are some serious bugs all around with drops.

The color of the loot drop changes at midnight with every warp. The color of the drop also coincides with the materials in space.
Loot drop colour seems to depend on what colour planet is in orbit around the lifeboat ship
First loot crate was a purple and got an ascendant tek bow, couple tek foundations and 50 straight electrical cables
I've been playing for about 6 hours in solo mode, at the beginning the drops were mostly white but when I completed the alpha enforcer run mission the drops became big part red. the loot I don't know has changed because I haven't collected many.

Actually, the drops change when the ship starts flying fast or whatever, I dont think it has anything to do with boss fights
The enforcer race increases the quality, and the colors change after every night.
I found that the yellow & cyan drops give nice stuff.
both the loot crates colour AND the primary content of the lunar biome change each night at about 1am when the ship travels
The supply crates colour changes for the ressource available in the space biome
Hey, the colour of the drops shows what biom is rotated in the Luna spot
Loot drop colours are only a reflection of where you drop out from wrap
hi, will you do a video where you spawn in x number of each drop color to see if there's any correlation between color and type of loot inside? maybe a rough idea of the loot table maybe. thanks. i know the color corresponds to what mat is on the asteroids, but does each drop color also have its own loot table?
I've gotten an industrial grill, grinder, and forge from the red ones. Pretty insane

Think colour indicates what’s in space biome

The loot color changes with the space asteroid change.
Nice to see some useful loot in the drops, for a change. I still would have liked to see ammo in the drops, like on Extinction.
I found a blue one with mostly trash, still not sure how colors correlate with the loot yet.
They change color according to the space biome.
I'm only finding orange ones ? What's happening
1st and 2nd drop on official ark. Indi forge and shoulder cannon
Like I said. Play next series on official settings. If you modify anything it would be to OP.
Nice when you get a tek parasail on the first or second try xD
Can you make a video on taming the astrodelphis. They are confusing me I just got ganged up on by 3 of them I need that nooblet touch.
Got a motorboat in a drop yesterday but mostly you get stone pipes
I've heard the loot drop color has yo do with the lunar biome outside
They change color in relation to whats in the space biome, nothing else. Colors dont mean anything in regards to quality of loot like normal deops
Certain missions effect drop quality.
Can you get egg incubators?

Is that official rates?
I play single player and they always spawn red I have high loot drops tho
on the server I'm playing on, 200 people online at least 5 people race towards the same drop xD
Is it pvp? That must be really a mess but sounds fun
No, it's PvE but still fun
