Atopsu's PvE Weapon Rebalance

Description
NEW VERSION OF MOD CAN BE FOUND HERE:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3022348592

mod id: 2515366956

This mod is currently discontinued due to me having to start over due to it being my first mod and bad planning.
I will be remaking it, but this version will stay available but no longer updated. I will add a link to the new mod here when it is ready. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

The goal of this mod is to take weapons that were either nerfed due to PvP or designed for PvP and give them a purpose on a PvE server.
This mod also has an additional goal of making melee combat better and more interesting.
My main focus is to try to enable differing playstyles for your survivor.

Most items in this mod are same name remaps so installing and uninstalling this mod should not delete items.
Certain items that are disposable are regular remaps and specify that in notes.

Items changed include the following:

-Weapons-
  • Flame Arrow
  • Flamethrower
  • Grappling Hook
  • Lance
  • Rocket Launcher
  • Electric Prod
  • Spear
  • Pike
  • Grenade
  • Cluster Grenade
  • Poison Grenade
  • Tek Grenade

-Tools-
  • Pliers

-Armor-
  • Cloth
  • Hide
  • Chitin
  • Desert Cloth
  • Flak
  • Fur
  • Ghillie
  • Hazard
  • Riot
  • Scuba
  • Tek
  • Misc

-Structures-
  • Wooden Spike Wall
  • Metal Spike Wall

-Saddles-
  • Rex Tek Saddle
  • Rock Drake Tek Saddle
  • Mosasaur Tek Saddle
  • Megalodon Tek Saddle
  • Tapejara Tek Saddle

Items added include the following:
  • Flaming Spear
  • Grenade Belt
  • Motor Boat Engine Upgrade

For anyone still looking for this mod, I made a new version. The link is at the top of this description.

I didn't think you'd still be around! Im glad you have been working on it regardless of the speed because I was so heartbroken when I saw the invisible armor. I want you to know man this mod is the final key to my perfected Ark, something I've been trying to complete for sometime. The only way I can show support is to give more awards, Do you think that would help? Even if it helps by a decimal percentage I wanna do what I can to encourage your work

They swing really slow compared to vanilla variants but they could just be how are supposed to act. When I crafted flint spears it created more than one and they were all marked as broken, had no durability. Half the time I couldn't use them at all. The pike I had already crafted in my multiplayer game seemed to function fine, but it too stabbed slowly. For the most part I don't really want the spear changes, I feel they are fine as they are in vanilla. It's just the flamethrower change I was after. I do wish the burn lasted a lot longer though.

My modding has slowed down quite a bit. I am almost done with a total redo of the mod though. It avoids things like the invisible armors.

Out of curiosity what is broken with the pike and spear?
I am keen to fix them more to your satisfaction than just make it flamethrower only.
I am open to feedback of the state of balance

Hey man I don't know if you're still modding, but do you think you could release a version of this that only includes the changes to the flamethrower? I really want the flamethrower to be useful and this mod does that but several of the other changes seem to be broken, at least for my server. Invisible tek armor, broken pike and spears and what not. The flamethrower change was awesome though so if we could get a standalone mod for just the flamethrower, that would make my day. Thank you!

I read the descriptions of what the changes were. I absolutely agree it doesn't make sense for bosses not to catch on fire. Yknow for a survival game they sure do take away a massive chunk of your survival items. Wonderful ideas dude, I cant believe you made the Poison Grenade useful. Your a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hero in my eyes

Fair enough. Looking forward to that lol

The power glove was the first thing I made when I started modding on Ark lol. I am intending on phasing it out completely soon with massive upgrades to the base spears themselves
Xander Floyd Jan 6, 2022 @ 11:55pm 
Is there a way to make switching Power Glove ammo a little easier? Right now I have to remove the glove from my hotbar before dragging a new spear onto it, which isn't too great in the heat of battle. I'm guessing that there's some sort of limitation that prevents this, though, since the spears are still melee weapons and I don't know how the glove is actually coded to accept them as ammo. Still feel like it can be done a little better, though.

Only by the weapons in the mod
