Remove the Admin panel please

[⭐Rodent⭐]

I think that having acces to an admin panel with all the items in the game is just a wrong idea.
Once you discover it, you will never enjoy the game as the first time. So sad.
Because you know that you have it all so easy.

This feature should be a part of a second program, for servers setup and admins, but should not be in the main game.

People will say I am weak because I cant resist the temptation but.. the true is that something like this ruins the game.

Add random digits/characters to your admin password input and hit enter. Following that, maybe try a mod to cement it even further. There are a lot of people who will protest to an idea like this, so you're better off settling with what you can use. It comes down to discipline and peristence. Are persistent enough to sabotage your own play session? Are you disciplined enough to say no and follow through?

The admin password doesn't work on single player/co-op, for the host at least. Well, it does if you use the ~ command to become admin, but the Make Me Admin button in server settings lets the host become admin without entering a password.

I would suggest running a local server instead. You can set a random password in the bat file that starts the server. Its easy to set up, there should be a guide around here somewhere.

It sounds like its something worth modifying as far as funcom is concerned, but its probably low priority. Having admin password as a requirement for SP/Co-op hosts for the sake of circumventing people's lack of self-control would just be a minor obstacle for people who are already willing to jump the few extra hurdles to avoid temptation.

Setting up a local server for something as trivial as circumventing admin abuse by a single-player host might work only temporarily if said person is persistent enough to sabotage their own immersion. That said, it might be easier to just utilize this mod for now.

I'm currently on testlive so after testing it myself I can attest to its compatibility. Moreover, because of how it works and what it modifies you're less likely to have a compatibility error in the future. Good luck, Celes.

The Admin panel is a requirement for conan Exiles ... even the fun com cannot craft anything without it. They cannot make any wiki's or publish how to make anything in game and the only truly functioning item, you want to remove ... never

I'll stop using the admin panel when all crafting stations actually work with recipes and menu in them. That won't be while we have this unoptimized mess. which has gottem worse with the feeding system.

Trying to cauterize a minor wound by severing an entire limb is a bit excessive, so I don't think anyone should be concerned about losing access to that one feature. They know there are some builders and modders that utilize the feature to quickly test things in-game or crash-test building configurations.

Fortunately as with most of these issues there are mods which can deal with them. I've seen this thread pop up more than once before and it has always overlooked the feature's place as a debug tool. The best you can do is just exercise more caution. In another scenario, it wouldn't take any more or less effort to google search a hack/trainer to overcome a hurdle in any other game. This just takes fewer clicks to achieve.

I take it you're in SP?

[⭐Rodent⭐]

Yes.
And I think is a bad practice, absolutely counterproductive. Is not only Conan Exiles, several early acces games have it...

Imagine Far Cry with a panel like this.. or any other game.. ruin all the fun...

I realize some people feel that mods are 'cheating', but maybe this once give that mod I recommended a try. At the very least it would remove the admin panel for you. The moment you activate admin in console or with the settings menu it immediately removes admin privileges. I suppose it would be the very opposite of cheating to utilize that mod for the sake of preserving your immersion.

And yeah I realize you feel that its Funcom's duty to handle something like this, not something modders should be responsible for, but at the very least give it a try.

And if you haven't tried using mods for Conan Exiles its worth it. Some mods are very small, have very straightforward and non-intrusive purposes that do not detract from the vanilla gameplay. They only enhance it (And some preserve it or fix it). The one I mentioned is very tiny so it will not increase your load times.

Problem is Far Cry is tried and tested AAA title, this is not.
I waited to buy this game outside of E A.
Still shocked about the work still needed on it.
I love the game, and that admin panel has got me out of countless problems.
Removing it would be a bad move imo.

By default and design, the admin panel is disabled in the SP game. You can at your choice activate it with a console command. Until you do that, the menu option is hidden when you are in the SP game. This was done prior to the release on May 8th to bring the SP game inline with the MP game.

I do play all most exclusively in the SP mode and occasionally on a server (my internet has proven to be a bit wonky). Admin mode has saved me a few times when they were fixing issues with the building system and holes in the map.

It ruins the game for those who can"t stop themselves.

Funcom is not responsible for your lack of self control. If you can't handle yourself, just go to a zero pop official.

This, with a side order of this.
