Loadout Mannequin Needed

[Cronus]

I understand that this came out late in ASE, but I can't imagine that it is tied to any lore where it can't be included in the base game for all maps on ASA. I can't seem to find any mod with one either. If anyone knows of one, or perhaps I'm missing it in game please LMK.

Nope, they just decided that QoL changes that were tied to specific DLCs were only to be released when to those maps are added, same with cryopods for example. So mannequins will be one of the last things to be added.

I LOVED THE MANNEQUIN! Please bring it back!

Didn't Cryopods come out with Valeugero on ASE? Unless I'm mistaken, we don't have Valguero, but we DO have cryopods in ASA. So, I'm with the OP... Loadout Mannequins are NEEDED yesterday. I'm just not interested inplaying much until they drop... which is allegedly with Genesys 2 in May 2025. #LoadoutMannequinsNow

Edit: Cryopods came out on Extinction.

cryopods were the one exception for asa because of performance issues. they were a required addition to help limit the number of tames large tribes would just have sitting around. that is why in asa the element dust requirement to craft them was removed, making them craftable before the tek dinos were added.

however, for the other useful stuff like the net, canoe, etc. we will have to wait since they don't directly affect performance.

What did big tribes do before Valguero? They dealt with it. If release order was truly sacred, the devs would have left cryos out of ASA until Valguero. The precedence of utility as a motivation for exceptions exists, and Loadout Mannequins are very much utilitarian.

No. They were released with Extinction as that's when they were added.

Cryopods were added shortly after ASA's launch to help the obviously terrible server performance when there's more than like 50 dinos around.

WC had no reason to not release the loadout mannequin early. Well, i'd guess they realized they wouldnt have enough time to release it and bug fix given how awful ASA was on launch and still is.

What purpose did the mannequin serve for you all that pulling a taxidermy skin from your dead corpse can't do?

Allows you to swap "loadouts". Complete armor/inventory/hotbar swap all of which is customizable. Also refrigerated the inventory so you could keep soups/buffs in the loadout mannequin.

Super helpful if you wanted to swap inventory for caves or if you wanted to transfer off but didnt want to zero your tek armor charge. Wanna raid? just swap for a kit. ezpz.
