Is there a setting to allow pickup of structures indefinitely?

[Fervid]

With the new homestead update, I noticed that when we place down items, there's something like a 30 second timer that allows us to pick up the items again. Is there a private server setting that will allow us to pick up the items indefinitely? (as it was with the S+ mod)

I actually found this on the wiki shortly after posting.:

AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=true/false

Not sure if this is actually working in the game yet, but sounds like the devs are working to implement it.

I'll leave this here for anyone that comes across this topic in the future.

Only with the s+ mod.

You have StructurePickupTimeAfterPlacement in GameUserSettings.ini. If you're using S+, I believe the demo gun can pickup any structure, even if not S+

This is a handy mod for doing just that, and it's a simple little ini entry to add for it.

Patchnotes said
"Added ServerSettings ini config option StructurePickupHoldDuration to allow unofficials to configure (or disable by setting to 0) the quick-pickup hold duration"

That actually adjusts the auto-pickup (when you just hit "e" to pick it up instead of using the radial wheel), and the time for the radial wheel.

Its the only setting listed in the patchnotes, besides the one mentioned above.

When the homestead patch was released I tested this and it worked fine (on singleplayer). Haven't played on the patches after that.

From what i've seen, when you enable that the pickup timer doesnt even show up anymore on the buildings, but if you hold E they have the pick up option.

Thanks for the confirmation Chrius!

Just tested this and it works! Here's what I did....Navigate to Ark/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor Backup the GameUserSettings.ini file Then open with a text editor. Ctrl+F (find) pickup. Will highlight first instance of the word pickup, which is this line..... "StructurePickupTimeAfterPlacement=30.000000" I deleted that line, and then added (in it's place) "AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=True" (WITHOUT the quotation marks.) Save the file, and launch your game. Now structures will say "E" to pick up. Press and hold that key for the radial wheel, and you will see the option to pickup. Now I can pick up my expensive forge and grinder and redesign my base. Hope this helps others.

While that works it is not best practice, as turning off the timer makes for instant pick up without the radial wheel, which will cause accidents.

Adding:

StructurePickupHoldDuration=0.150000

along with

AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=True

would be best as it allows a forever pick up but without the instant. the timer is also so short there is no waiting period on the radial wheel. It basically just requires going through the radial wheel to pick something up. But you will never accidentally pick up anything.

[ZeroSumX]

It still has the pickup hold duration. I have to use the radial wheel, and give it a couple seconds to charge it up before I can pick up items. I only removed the timer for how long you have after you place down an item. I never messed with or changed the StructurePickupHoldDuration string.

Painful as it is... so frustrating. Sometimes stuff glitches and it sucks having to destroy stuff just to get your dino unstuck, because no mater what you do its gonna happen at some point, lol.
