Is there any way to modify what items are given from scrapboxes?

This might sound like a weird question, but I ask because I decided I would use the scrapbox lottery to get any ores, rather than digging giant holes everywhere with a quarry. Most ores are in there already, but I just wanted to add uranium dust as a possible item. Now, I can remove items from the list of possible items easily enough through the configs, but it won't let me add anything without giving that item a weight value - something that you can't just do in the configs. So is there a way of doint that?

Well thats a shame. I know scrapboxes are considered OP, but this is only for SSP. Besides, my current PC is a not-particularly-powerful laptop, which can't handle the chunks loaded by quarries, nor can it handle very big animal farms, which means scrap is also the only way to get food without growing it, which comes with its own difficulties.

Indeed, I'd really like a way to edit the items it can drop and the percent to drop them. It'd allow me to add some "easter eggs" which would amuse me greatly.

Look into the IC2 miner, which will only need a 9x9 area loaded (with the OV scanner), and will only grab cobblestone/dirt/gravel/sand that is in the way of more valuable things. The IC2 miner is a much better solution to getting resources versus the quarry, but the quarry is a lot easier to use.

nor can it handle very big animal farms, which means scrap is also the only way to get food without growing it, which comes with its own difficulties.

You should either make a soul shard for the animal of choice, or you should grow food (if you can find potatoes, you will be set for life), and is extremely easy to do. In fact, I only switch to animal based foods after I've gotten a T5 cow shard, and then only when I get around to setting up a burning auto-death system for them.
