Chitin Paste mod settings
Grinding Chitin paste (literally) for most of my game play is getting old. I'd like to reduce it's cost. Supposedly this can be done in ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini. I was able to successfully add 100 more levels here by adding xp tables but no luck with the ChitinPaste. Anyone know what names I have wrong?

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_ChitinPaste_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Stone_C",BaseResourceRequirement=2.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=true),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Chitin_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Keratin_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))

It's called cementing Paste, but the item ID is chitin paste.

"Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_ChitinPaste.PrimalItemResource_ChitinPaste'"

You know about "Achatina"? Nobody farms/crafts cementing paste ^^

... great, but that doesn't really address the question I had.

seriously though... tame a few dodos, and plant some carrots. gather eggs, make kibble. tame a ptera, grab/make a sleeping bag, fly out with the sleeping bag to where there are beaver dams, put down the sleeping bag, park the ptera, go grab the cementing paste, flowers/mushrooms/pearls, dump the wood on the ground, probably die to the beavers. then go back and get your corpse with the goodies, repeat and/or fly back and now you have a couple stacks of cementing paste if you are a little lucky.

if you are lucky and quick, you can probably do it without even dying.

a little later, make some veggie cakes and tame a snail. never run out of cementing paste again.

Try making these 2

bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false

To true.

I still manually craft cement paste. What else am I supposed to do with all that left over stone and keratin.

Not everyone plays the same.

"left over stone". ... lol, lemme guess you play PVP where you have to build in metal?

No I just don't tame 1000 dinos and don't build that big of a base.

Thank you all for the responses. I was not aware of the other methods of gaining paste. I do hope Ragnarok has snails and beavers. I'll look it up. I am still interested in the recipe though.

Cementing paste can made with either Chitin or Keretin so that's why I though those should be false. I'll writ back if true fixes it.

If you go to the north coast (Highlands), there are dead basi's on the shore. Harvesting them gives spoiled meat, keratine, and oil. Then you can make the cementing paste.

Don't forget to tame Frogs and hunt Insects in the Swamp. Frogs produce Paste from the dead Insects.
