Minor Hotfixs to Revision 85.2/87

added ini AGContentSpawnDistanceFromFoundations=20000
adjustments to mutation tower detection of player owned foundations

as an admin I recommend entering the ALT + 7 screen and doing a cleanup and waiting for the cycle to complete and only clicking it once. - for these adjustments to take effect quicker

Minor Hotfixs to Revision 85

REVISION 85 - MINOR UNMENTIONED ADJUSTMENTS AND TWEAKS HIGHLIGHTS BELOW

HOT FIXS
Corrupt Vission Fog - IE Predator Vision - Not Disabling Correctly - Should no longer be an issues
firestorm tier to reduce damage to be inline with other tier 4 classes
reduced large crystals to only spawn around ResourceGateway Hubs - Specific to their Resource Type

GATEWAYS -
Gateways now have bulk/larger Resources Spawning Around them and smaller resource nodes around the map

SPAWN SYSTEM -
Rebuilt the spawn system again spent alot of time on making the system more robust and less impactful after the first boot of a server this should mean on successive restarts there will be less code running and less of an impact on game experience and potato Pc's the mutation towers and hives should also be more reliably in not spawning out of bounds or within mountains etc - they should also reset and not get bugged out over time.

AS A RESULT OF THE REBUILD THE DINO WIPE INI HAS BEEN REMOVED

STRUCTURE WIPING AFTER REBOOTS IS NOW DISABLED - I WOULD ENCOURAGE MANUAL CLEANUP VIA THE ADMIN HUD IN ALT + 7 AFTER THIS UPDATE

GENOME EXTRACTOR GUN - ENHANCEMENTS
Added INI PartialGenomeDinoExtractionMulti=0 - this ini will control the base multiplication of partial genomes extracted from creatures
Changed the default icon so that it looks more like a weapon and not a craftable object
Add 10% Torp Effect per shot when creature is NOT knocked out - ONLY EFFECTS TIERED WILD CREATURES

TIER SYSTEM - ENHANCEMENTS
Rebuild to the tiering system INI configs so they now function correctly for custom tiering
ALLOWING YOU TO REORDER THE TIERS AND STACK THEM AS YOU SEE FIT IN WHICH EVER COMBINATIONS YOU LIKE

HOT FIXS

Storm Harvester Adjustments -
Added Indoor Protection & Is Sleeping Protection against Storms - in addition to already implemented fixs to the storm harvesters which should now protect your base regardless

New INI -
DisableDestroyWildDinosOnCleanUp=false
Added an INI Setting that destroys wild dinos on the boot of the server - 1 of our official servers is having issues on boot it is unclear what the cause of this is however using aa console command to clear the dinos on a server restart appears to fix this. I have built this into the mod to prevent people from not being able to start their servers. - this option can be disabled if you dont have issues or want to see if it does or does not fix your issue if you experience a similar problem

3rd hotfix for genesis - AVA companion has been disabled I will be adding her again in a new fashion that wont conflict with Genesis.

OKAY SO I HAVE RELEASED A 3RD HOT FIX REMOVING THE AVA COMPANION WHO WILL RETURN AT A LATER STAGE - I HAVE ALSO FORCED AN UNEQUIP/DELETE OF HER IN PLAYER INVENTORIES ON BOOT OF THE SERVER THIS SHOULD STOP ANY CRASHES - CAUSED AS A RESULT OF THE GENESIS UPDATE.

2nd hotfix for genesis

General changes Below - along with unmentioned minor adjustments as always

Ava issue Identified - where in multiplayer environments the data logs would be given to the incorrect players - this should now be rectified
Ava Issue where she does not identify that you have read the first sequence and repeats here intro audio - this should now be rectified in the next update
Hot fix to Cryopods - not restoring the correct buff after a relog or restart etc
Storm Harvester glitch - not correctly apply protection buff on activation and deactivation - added a toggle on off switch to make this easier to interpret.

NEW CORRUPT DINO - Thanks to Zythara and his Amazing work

AVA COMPANION -
can be checked out in the spoilers tab before the update is released - includes visual and audio emotes
Further Adjustments to the spawning system to mitigate objects spawning around player owned structures
Adjustments to the tendrils that spawn around mutation towers so that if they are harvested and the tower is not destroyed they will re-spawn after a period of time
Further Visual fix's to structures so that they appear correctly after server restarts and re-logs and coming out of stasis

New Gateways - CHECK SPOILERS
Gateways will spawn on the map dynamically and be static after their first spawn - they will be able to be deleted by admins if needed
Gateways will require to be repaired once repaired they will become part of the public TP network

NEW INI SETTINGS

Generic - additions

SetHiveQueensLevel=0 - this setting will override the level of Hive Queens allowing for further customisation and control - the default tower level is calculated by the server difficulty unless this override is set
SetMutationTowersLevel=0 - this setting will override the level of mutation towers allowing for further customisation and control - the default tower level is calculated by the server difficulty unless this override is set
MutationTowerDustCorruptionRange=12000 - Controls the range of the corruption buff effects around mutation towers.
CreaturesToExcludeFromEnhancment=example_Character_BP_C,example2_Character_BP_C, - this INI will block dinos from being enhanced. you can place as many creatures as you like seperated by commo's as per the example

New Gateway - INI Configs
DisableTPGatewayRepair=False - if you dont want the gateway to function as public teleporters and be able to be repaired
TPGatewayResource1Quantity=250 - override repair requirements for the 3 resources to repair gateways
TPGatewayResource2Quantity=250 - override repair requirements for the 3 resources to repair gateways
TPGatewayResource3Quantity=250 - override repair requirements for the 3 resources to repair gateway

New EnviroBuff- INI Configs

DisableServerMultiOnCorruptionBuffs=False
CorruptionBuffsDifficultyMulti=1.0

Corruption Buff Difficulty is calculated As follows

Server Difficulty Divided by 2 Multiplied by Negative 1 = -2.5 Example: (5/2=2.5 (2.5X-1) = -2.5)
This Calculation is then added to the Base Difficulty
Buff-difficulty Multiplied by Buff Tier Difficulty Multiplied by Negative 1 = -1 Example: (1.0 X 1.0 = 1.0) (1.0 X -1) = -1)
These Two Numbers are then added together = -3.5 per second reduction in the applicable stat

When disabling the Server Multi in the below Options - the default calculation will only be based on the Second INI config as per the below multiplied by the Buff Tier Difficulty Level

Due to Ark Thermal Mechanics - Firestorm & Glacier Tier Corruption Buffs Are calculated differently

Glacier Tier
Server Difficulty Divided by 4 then multiplied by the buff difficulty ini multiplied by 500
When Server Difficulty is turned off the buff difficulty is multiplied by 500

FireStorm
Server Difficulty Divided by 2 then multiplied by the buff difficulty ini multiplied by 100
When Server Difficulty is turned off the buff difficulty is multiplied by 250
