Help! S+ Broke

[darkthestral]

Ok so I logged into Ark today (single player) to find all of my S+ structures were gone. This happened before so I went back and used my save from last night. Lost an hour but all structures where back nice and sound. However not the S+ features in the structures aren't working.

No pull options, Item Collector isn't working, etc. I checked my engrams and had to relearn them, after that I built a new item collector and it works just fine. However, I really don't want to go around and rebuild all my stuff.

Will uninstalling and reinstalling the mod fix this without destroying all of my stuff?

You can try but there's no guarantee. It's a toss up. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Don't feel bad alot of people are suffering with this update myself included. It was by far the worst update of any mod I can remember. Stuff just got really bad. He's says he's working on it but I don't know. I don't know why but as soon as this came out there should have been a instant rollback and a woops to the subscribers. Instead things are still rolling on. Instead of pulling it right away and having a few thousand people get the shaft he kept it going and now everyone is sol.

My point is mistakes happen and if you read the first few pages a bunch of us were telling him it was a bad thing he kinda laughed it off and well now there's a lot of people not to happy. My opinion is don't ever get too cocky because he's feeling the heat now and there's alot of people who basically got everything wiped.

As long as you don't actually start the game, you're fine to uninstall/reinstall

I saw a few comments. While I'm sorry that a lot of people are having the same issue, it makes me hopeful that this will be solved soon.

Thanks

And some folks wonder why I have a No Mods policy on our server.

They're great... when they work. But all it takes is just one to fubar the server.

Lately it's tricky enough to stay stable with official updates as it is...

Most mods tend to be fine. When issue arise its also a non issue for smart server owners(or single players) because they simply revert once a fix comes up.

And as you well cited, no mods is no guarantee for even core updates to not fubar things. We've had that happen many times over the last 2+ years.

Having a no mod server is fine as there are of course some out there, but devs and most of the 26000+ unofficials support them (given that's where the main focus of the game is). Being dismissive of them otherwise is just a lil silly.

So really this is more about backing up saved games and being patient for fixes. Nothing more.

s+ has had an update, the pulling menu changed. Are you sure you cant pull resources in the new menu?

[Gomorragh]

ok, nice someone told you that S+ has changed, but heres how ......

All your vanilla and s+ structures have various pull options at the top of the screen now, mainly the single item pull gun equivalent is on the top right 3rd of the screen, see the new little boxes all across the top? Thats them ..... this is probably explained in the new release of S+, better videos would be to watch one of several roleplayers on twitch since it seems all of them use S+ and castles mod now .... and somewhere in one of the streams one of them will use them or will answer questions (eventually) live in stream dependent on the amount of roleplay to be had at this moment

Heh. Patient users?

Seriously man. Really!?

Thanks for the grins :)

Edit: Silly.. maybe. But I/we work for a living. We can't hump the update logs to cater to modder update schedules. I don't see it as silly. I see it as stable :p

Plenty of very relaxed servers that use mods with folks that work and families and the like. Again, its not really a mod issue, its a user one in regards to just waiting half a day or a day typically until an issue is resolved by a decent modder.

But its your perrogative to not use them. Some servers dont. Most unofficials do and are fine with it and do not see any significant consternation with using them or feel they are a dire source of instability. Thus again being further dismissive of mod usage with your cited objections doesn't alter the original assessment concernng your view of them.

I'm also having issues pulling items using S+ structures and storages, and I know how to use the new interface as it worked fine just yesterday. I play on a single player server and I found yesterday that I have to put an item in whatever I'm trying to pull to, click on it, and then I can pull items. When I click on ANY item in the list, it doesn't register any items nearby at all. I need to move a ton of black pearls, this is going to be tedious if this isn't fixed soon.

My issue is the same as OP's, except that I didn't almost lose my stuff. And he got all of that back, minus time lost. Are you saying I should make a duplicate post for the same issue?
