Post here for any changes/mods you'd like to see. We want to keep the mod count light, cosmetic only or very slight quality of life improvements.

i want the reverse too. the only issue with the boat slots mods are they increase by thousands. I can't in good conscious go from 84 slots to 2000. Wish i could do 100.

Yeah 100 would be great for a boat! I think the paracer platform has 32?  A nice number would be around 40. Any more than that you could build something that is literally unstoppable. You can already glitch the platform building on it to make floating foundations and with a little creativity using foundations and posts to build down around it. Nothing like a walking box. |

Nothing like a walking box. a lot of people do that on official servers and make a walking metal armored box that can't be hurt. |

Oh hey wow, looky what I found
PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier Value = Float
Default = 1.0 Higher number increases (on a percentage scale) max number of items place-able on saddles and rafts
Example: PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier=1.5

or very slight quality of life improvements. How slight is very slight? Item Sorting System: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=543828831I've always appreciated the this mod for tribes on servers with greater-than-normal gathering rates. as the more people you have gathering the more collective time your tribe spends sorting inventory instead of playing, and that is exacerbated by increased resource gathering rates. I think the QOL increase is notable while the impact on the game as a whole is rather small. |

That's the mod that corrupted our last server. I like the idea, but am wary.

That's the mod that corrupted our last server. I like the idea, but am wary. I see; FWIW, boats put a significant amount of time, effort, and testing into making sure the worldsave issue was fixed, and it's been smooth sailing since then. I definitely understand your hesitation though, given that experience. |

I just read something about the item sorting while I was at work. The author discontinued the mod and everyone that was using it had their shit lost. He says its in a new package mod though. But he gave no warning on shutting down the first one and everyone losing things, so I wouldnt trust it. Even though it's the mod I want the most.
I must have been looking at a different, but similar mod. Still the thought occurs that if he stops progress on the mod it would be a huge blow to people that have collected the resources.

That's slightly outdated information; boats was thinking about stopping development of the mod when it was corrupting worldsaves and releasing the source for someone else to pick up, but after he found the solution to the corruption problem, he has resumed ongoing support as originally planned. He's still working on it, as of yesterday afternoon.
EDIT: Ah, and now I see your edit! At any rate, the same can be said of any mod -- for example, if the stairs mod creator stops supporting it, all of our rounded walls and stairs will go poof. This is the risk you take when using mods at all. Fortunately, the UE modding community for ARK is strong and even if a project is dropped, it is highly likely to be picked up by someone.

This one seems okay because it doesn't affect the resouces gathered as all this mod does is just throw them into the correct box. What you mentioned is why i hate building mods. they're awesome and fun and make your base look amazing... until the owner stops building it... and all is lost.

Plus our goal is the keep the server close to vanilla and mod light. We as players totally love many of these mods and understand why anyone would want them.
Sadly there is the dark side of mods, with that being said we don't want anyone to get discouraged by our stance.
We will entertain and look at every request very seriously, we do discuss your suggestions and consider them carefully!

Not gonna lie, I'd consider farming the metal to metalize our base just to have those glassy ramps. They look pretty awesome! Color it with some neon and make a Tron base.  |

You can dye them too. It's a nice mod. If we do start adding more building mods, people will have to live with the fact that if the mod stops being worked on, you will lose your base if we are forced to remove it. This is the main reason we've stayed away from total building conversion mods, we've seen it get ugly.

These elements will also be in the actual game, I personally do not like glass that is almost as strong as metal.
The mod looks nice, but I prefer the server stay mod lite.

I personally would only use it for ceilings, but there would indeed be issues if people used it for walls and the mod development effort was abandoned in the future.

A dev dropping their project is a concern for any mod really though, I do see the concern on eventual base wipes but honestly i have seen built in game features wipe a server just as easily. I also get the concern for the metal strength glass but I don't see why its an issue if it costs just about the same as metal just has the added feature of being see thru...
Also, what do you mean they will be added to the game? is that an assumption of eventual game dev maybes, or is there a full break down on things to come that I just don't know about lol.
So far all I have seen devs really strive to do is add more and more dinos or PvP aspects, unless im wrong in thinking this, i dont think the game devs are planning on too many cosmetic addons unless it is a buying of a mod devs ideas.

Dev's have talked about underwater bases that will come with a re-enforced see through paneling/wall. We all assume that it will be the "strong" glass we are looking for in our games.
If they end up changing their minds, then I would entertain it, but not until game release.

A nice number would be around 40.
I left my 80-something Survivor on Ragnarok, can we transfer our toons to AB or just start afresh? Very Happy to be Baaack!
