PandaWorks AutoLoot

PandaWorks AutoLoot is a quality-of-life auto-looting mod for Starfield. It is built to reduce repetitive looting, inventory cleanup, corpse checking, container checking, and space salvage cleanup while still letting the player decide what gets collected and where it goes.

Instead of manually opening every corpse, crate, locker, storage box, and supported loot source you pass, PandaWorks AutoLoot scans nearby, checks that the target is valid, applies your enabled settings, and moves matching loot based on your configuration.

The goal is simple:

Spend less time digging through containers and more time actually playing Starfield.

PandaWorks AutoLoot is the successor to Lazy Panda, rebuilt into a cleaner and more flexible system. Lazy Panda proved the idea worked. PandaWorks AutoLoot expands that idea into a configurable framework designed for players who want automatic looting without giving up control.

Version 1.1.2 also expands space looting support. PWAL can now handle supported space salvage sources, including asteroid deposits, space cargo, and destroyed hostile ship debris, transferring supported salvage directly into your ship cargo.

What it does:

• Automatically loots supported containers
• Automatically loots supported corpses
• Automatically loots supported space salvage
• Supports asteroid deposit looting
• Supports space cargo looting
• Supports destroyed hostile ship debris looting
• Supports configured scanner-based loot sources
• Lets players enable or disable loot categories
• Lets players choose where supported loot categories are sent
• Helps reduce inventory clutter
• Reduces repetitive manual looting
• Uses validation checks before touching supported loot sources
• Provides a configurable setup instead of forcing one fixed play style

PandaWorks AutoLoot is built around player choice. You decide what categories are enabled. You decide which destinations are used. You decide whether the mod should be light and selective or more aggressive. The mod provides the looting system; the settings decide how that system behaves.

This mod does not exist to replace exploration or remove looting from Starfield. It exists to remove the repetitive cleanup that happens after fights, dungeon runs, ship boarding, scavenging, ship combat, and general exploration.

It is useful for players who:

• Loot everything manually and are tired of doing it
• Want automatic looting with category control
• Want configurable destination routing
• Want fewer interruptions while exploring
• Want corpses and supported containers handled faster
• Want asteroid deposits and space cargo handled faster
• Want destroyed hostile ship debris transferred into ship cargo
• Want a cleaner successor to Lazy Panda
• Prefer playing the game over sorting piles of space trash

Space Salvage Support:

PandaWorks AutoLoot now supports several space salvage sources.

Confirmed working in version 1.1.2:

• Asteroid deposits to ship cargo
• Space cargo to ship cargo
• Destroyed hostile ship debris to ship cargo

Space salvage uses its own isolated pipeline. It does not route through the normal ground-looting scanner and does not interfere with normal container, corpse, harvestable, or loose-item looting.

PWAL does not delete, disable, or mutate ship debris refs. It only transfers supported inventory.

PandaWorks AutoLoot uses a modular structure. The main plugin supports the core framework and supports base content. Optional add-on plugins may be used for additional supported content. Only install the add-ons that match the content you actually have installed.

Configuration is handled in-game. Players can adjust supported categories, destinations, and behavior through the available PandaWorks AutoLoot controls. The default setup is meant to be usable right away, while still allowing players to customize the system to fit their own play style.
