Re-worked Soul Shards...

[KЯΛKΣП]

I don't really like the changes with the new soul shards and having to carry them around as an amulet, and even their durability depleting pretty quickly. The way soul shards were before were much better. And you can't even fly with them on you. I play on PvE servers and it doesn't help at all.

Does anyone know if there's a server setting to allow flying with soul shards on and maybe not have their durability go down?

I found online how to get them back on your own private server at least, the old version are called Relic Shards. What you gotta do is go into options, enable Console commands, type "AdminAuth" to give yourself admin privilege for your host, a bit strange that you need to do this part at all since this is literally your server hosted from your computer, but that's how this works.. Then type "give Item_Building_Relic", scroll to the suggestion you want, Winged Horror, Behemoth, Solarus, Adam (monster), then tab to autocomplete the prompt and enter.

It's the Building Relic you want, not the Soul Shard type, that one's the amulet. The Building Relic is the same as plants for example, you can equip in your hotbar and use to place it in your castle, same as it was in early access.


One thing I don't get about this at least for PvE is, why not have the new amulets after being placed in their pedestals, work the same way these relic buildings worked? There'd be a logic to it afterwards, of replenishing them after some time as their power is being spent over time, they would be powerful and also come at a cost for that power they're constantly emitting.. I would haven taken that over having to go hunting down admin console commands online.

There two or three things that might help you...

1. As Toxi pointed out the original classic "building relic shards" still exist in the game files and can spawned in via admin commands, I've already done this for quite some time on my own server.

(Solarus).

(The Winged Horror).

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3257218391

(Behemoth).

2. For the existing soul shard amulet system there is a server-side mod which extends their durability, I've not recharged mine for 3 days now they're still at high durability.

3. The Mod Suggestion for server owners to opt in for classic Building relic soul shards with the additional ability to limit the new amulet soul shard system.

Good news if any of you run modded servers:

The Following Mod has received a major update enabling the option for server owners to enable the old shards to drop in favor of the new shards or both in tandem of one another!

I am in the process of updating from an older version of this same mod.
