Which mod do you use and recommend?

[Borracha]

let's leave this post for people to see cool mods they might be using

[Jaggid Edje]

I use a lot of mods in my game. I'm quite new to the game (only been playing a few weeks) and pretty much added a mod each time the game put a roadblock in my path that I didn't like...

Here's my list:

• Jack and Jill Full Character replacement. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2185399633 Because I like to look good and the default game models blow.
  
• Marniimod's Wildlife: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1984936918 Because I felt the game needed a few more normal animals. I did disable about half of what it adds though so it's not TOO normal.
  
• Handsome Wardrobe https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2196816343 Simply because it goes with the first mod I listed.
  
• Low Steal Pego: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2134213188 Because I got tired of entire stacks of narcotics getting snagged.
  
• Low Steal Icthy https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1775666168 .. the stack of narctics thing again...
  
• Kai's flyer perches: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=781204544 Because I'm OCD and it gets tiresome having to individually "park" my whole pack of dinosaurs every time I return to base. This mod does a nice job of getting the flyers at least where I want them. Plus, with them being perches and nests, the flyers are elevated, where they belong.
  
• Dino Bars: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1618319057 I'm an avid RPG player, and having bars like this is just what I'm used to. Plus they are customizeable, so I can turn off the default game overhead names and have what, to me, is a cleaner view of the world.
  
• Premade Structures: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2121213202 A simple time saver for when I go out to tame stuff and have to lay in my taming cage. This makes it a one-drop process for most tames.
  
• Colored Laser Markers: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1768535612 I like to be able to mark a location with something visual to help me get back to it. Map Pins in this game SUCK, they are way too big on the little tiny map. This was my solution for a navigation marker. I use them, a lot.
  
• Configurable Splyglass: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1891446920 When I first unlocked the spyglass engram I thought it was so cool but felt it could be so much cooler. I went looking for a mod to fix that...this was it.
  
• Structure's Plus: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=731604991 I like building, this makes building better. I also downloaded Super Structures, but you can only have one of them at a time I believe, so S+ is the one I use (it had the most recent last updated date)
  
• Never Stuck Again: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1400323349 Most frustrating thing in the game for me is how horrible the AI pathfinding is, got so tired of my massive dinos getting stuck on trees with 1" diameter trunks...so I got this mod to fix it.
  
• Awesome Teleporters: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=889745138 Problem I found with the Never Stuck Again mod was that when I was out mining it was destroying things I wanted to mine...so I got this mod that lets me just unstick a tame by teleporting it to me for when I don't want to use "never stuck again". I don't use most of the other teleporter features, they feel too cheaty.
  
• Eco's RP decor: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=741203089 So I have even more cool things for when I'm building, to decorate with.....game really really lacks any decor of any kind.
  
• Simple Compound Bow: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1871543213 I felt there was too big of a leap going from bow to crossbow in terms of potency. This adds something in between them.
  
• Stone Grill: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1999645801 I didn't want to have a campfire indoors but wanted to be able to cook before getting all the way up to the fancier things.
  
• Arknav: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1677552221 The game's map blows, it's so tiny. I wanted something better for readability, and really liked how this mod let me just always have a mini map up.
  
• Lethal's reusables: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1967741708
  After making my 50th torch, I said "This is stupid tedious to have to keep making them." This mod was the solution.
  
• Dino Tracker: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=924933745 For when I forget to use the Never Stuck Again on a dino that I don't have a tracker attached for Awesome teleporters...it lets me hunt down where they got stuck.
  
• Player Camera Plus: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2015448200 Because when I first started playing I hated the camera and I added this to try to "fix it"...no idea if it even works, to be honest, I might have just got used to the game camera.

@KippenKaasBaas, thanks for sharing your list!

Adding that Explorer's Note tracker to my game RIGHT NOW.

[King Doom]

Stackable foundations. The only way to build a flat, level base and the only way to make anything decent.

That's a feature of both S+ and SS too though, so no need for a seperate mod for it if you use either of those. (Just throwing this out there for any new players who visit this thread for mod ideas)

[Veeshan]

Nothing but this for me.

Hi, these are my single player mods:

SS or S+ - Ark without a building mod is a nightmare (you can change stack sizes and being able to pick up structures without any mod tho); I don't really like the advanced automation stuff but these mods give insane QoL;

Awesome spyglass - Very customizable and the vanilla spyglass is utterly garbage... I would be ok with a crappy spyglass in the beggining and a decent late game one(in a game with laser cannons you'd think a decent binoculars would be a thing bot no...).

EZ mindwipes - I don't like the easy recipes but i hate unlearning all my engrams when all i need is a stat reset for crafting....

Dino storage V2 - Better pokeballs and some insane QoL like it automaticly pokeball and store newborn dinos and you can make so dinos produce when stored (eggs, poop, ahat paste, etc) with helps a lot with lag in big bases.

I don't use stacking mods because i don't want to change weights but i increase stacking a lot.. Like 10k everything except things that should expire fast (up to 50 tho).

No. Classic flyers is known to cause over-spawning issues. On Ragnarok this mod will spawn hundreds of wyverns. Use speedy flyers instead.

So I've heard snippets about this occasionally. Just haven't bothered to investigate. Wondering if it's worthwhile, in the end. Dont want to download mouse software to make buttons do special things (I dont even use my extra numpad on the side of my mouse) and certainly not to modify key behavior... that seems like it could easily cause issues elsewhere.

Think itd work as well as the mod? The mod is frankly spectacular; handles things like Direbear running and C-spinning flawlessly, e.t.c. (haven't tested wingsuits though...) It also has never fallen out of date or had any issues whatsoever I've noticed. Also pretty easy for bobs to throw a mod ID into a box on their server software.

I'd say unless you're already into modding keys may as well just use the mod.

u can use it for remap keys, or maping sequences of keys, etc.. its just really easy script.. and even those scripts are already created and u can d/l them) ..basic what u will find almost anywhere are autorun, autosprint, autoattack, auto item transfer - for feding babies, etc.. its not mouseclicker, but more key remapper.. and u dont risk issues after Ark update, when any mod can be broken, or colide with other mods / vanilla game.

and ofc: at begining of your script u can define "STOP / RUN" key

[Jaggid Edje]

I use a simple auto hotkey for auto-run as well, and the nice thing is that the "stop autorunning" key is W...so no need to remember extra key presses.

It trumps a mod for being able to do it for a few reasons:
1. It works on ANY game that doesn't have autorun built in where W is forward movement, and
2. It works on ALL servers for Ark...you don't need to only play on a server with a special autorun mod installed.

Just my 2 cents.

[Noeat]

even its great for other games too.. for example Dark Souls have input lag from mouse buttons.. then u map mouse buttons to key for actions what u wanna do with mouse clicks :) ..and it works great.

and.. whole GPDSCK ("gamepad emulator" is writen in AHK)
