Raft extension

[Harambear]

Can we please discuss on how to extend rafts now??

Why add a motor boat with more structures allowd if we can't extend rafts especially in pve servers

For the trullin

I was under the impression that pillaring up to 2 ceilings then pillaring down allowed for the extending of the foundations. I could be wrong though.

From the release notes:
- New host option ?bAllowPlatformSaddleMultiFloors=true (Game.ini) / Allow Multiple Platform Floors.

This works both in single-player and for servers (command line or Game.ini).
If you're talking about playing on official servers (you didn't specify), you're probably SOL.

Does it work on Scorched Earth?

If you dont have this already try disabling structure collision in your server settings. Its an option in the host menue (on the left) for solo or for servers that require game.ini editing put bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=true

Meanwhile, I just sent this message to the ARK support, you all should do something similar:
---------------------

My ARK friends and me have set up a server to allow a "Water World" gameplay. The game would be based on a water world, where every tribe lives on huge rafts and even does (through mod items) gain important key resources on those tribal base rafts or farm rafts.

But you people decioded to remove the ability to extend the foundations on rafts. And that destroys our gameplay (remember we paid for the game) and renders our financial investment for the new server as wasted.

My ARK friends and me think, if you could offer an INI option for admins to re-establish the raft extension ability, we all would be happy. After all, we want to enjoy the possibilities ARK could give to us.

Please add, as soon as anyhow possible, an INI option.
Allow us to continue playing and enjoying ARK in our way.

The water world map I used to play on still works
They have a mod to allow huge rafts and the map is all underwater.... (no land above sea level)
Don't think they will add a ini setting to do this, but mods work well.

Natjur:
What is the size of the rafts, and the mod name for them?
