Oh a description page that says absolutely nothing about the mod. How brave.

Tried this mod out today and I am pretty sure its broken. The descriptions of the darts are completely wrong. I moved this mod all over my load order and even started a new map with just this mod installed, it does not function as it claims. Great idea but its not functional.

where can i find the ini settings?

Would love if this used some additional resources instead of just rare flowers. Since biotoxin is a much more potent narcotic already in game, could some of the more potent recipes use this instead of rare flowers or in addition to even? I know I can change the recipes myself but the fact that biotoxin isn't even used feels kinda wrong. Additionally, some INI options, and some wake-darts would be nice.

does the mod have to be on a specific loading place? neither engrams are there nor can i cheat the table in existence. my server is running ragnarok
Treeost Aug 10, 2022 @ 2:07pm 
Crafts too slow, seems hit or miss on whether the amount of narcotic is actually hitting the target. Maybe some day will have an ini and function better.

Having a bit of an issue and hoping someone can help, I installed auto engrams on my server when the server first started but only recently added this mod.

Unfortunately though I'm unable to unlock the engrams needed to craft anything included with this mod as auto engrams only unlocks engrams for the level you are currently at, is there anyway to force add the engrams to myself or other players?

Is something with the mod's calculation bugged? Only getting ~1.8k torpor from a 30cc dart when if it's operating as the description implies it should be ~4.6k if only considering instant torpor and ~6.6k if accounting for all damage over time resulting in a massive loss of Torpor->Narcotic ratio. Tested on a Diplodocus, and Stego so far.

figured it out my bad ty for reply <3
Homer177 Jun 22, 2022 @ 6:56am

Captainfreak Jun 15, 2022 @ 6:10pm 
Doesn's work on the new fjordur map sadly i dont know if im doing something wrong? But i love the mod ! Hope it works soon :)
diegonav1997 May 13, 2022 @ 6:59pm 
Can you create more narcotics? Maybe a new tier? And some Toxin Narcotics. Thanks :steamhappy:
Firella Apr 21, 2022 @ 1:44am 
Also, custom scopes for the darts, something like "More Tranq Items", would definitely improve the mod for many players, I think :D
Firella Apr 21, 2022 @ 1:35am 
Any chance you would introduce variants of the Shocking Darts for this mod? Or maybe even some healing items such as both darts and paste/mush/etc? Other than that, really love the mod!

@RaovakeGaming
Turns out I was thinking of another mod I uninstalled because it was somewhat buggy. Love this mod, I play with wild dinos up to level 600, can't imagine playing without this mod lol
LanixZz Jan 2, 2022 @ 4:12pm 
Hey i wanted to know what stack mods am i able to use with the narc table because i use ultra stacks but im not able to craft regular narcs in the narc table????
Fenris Jan 1, 2022 @ 11:04am 
Is it just me, or was there something in the mod to make dinos hungry? I haven't played in close to two years, so I may be thinking of another mod.

Is there any reason that would cause a tranq projectile from this mod to not work as intended? I crafted three 10CC darts to KO an Argy, which at max level should only take 18 normal Darts. 3 10CC darts should ~= 30 normal darts...used all three, and it still didn't knock out. I use Kraken's Better Dinos, but to my knowledge that doesn't affect an argy's torpor at all.

Hi there,

I've got the narcotics table on a server i'm currently playing on and I can't seem to use it. When I try to make narcotics or anything else in the table, all engrams are greyed out in the table despite having the materials in the table. I've tried picking it up and placing back down, even crafted a new table. Same problem. I went through my entire engram list to see if there was something I was missing and as far as I'm aware, I'm not missing anything. I have friends who can use it no problems, but myself and one other friend are having the same issue and we can't use it. What am I missing?
ValorOfArms Oct 15, 2021 @ 3:54pm 
unable to make arrows/narco arrows for basic use
bench still does not use it's mort & pestle feature for basic Narc/Stim
olitold Sep 15, 2021 @ 11:36am 
I want to disable the 30cc darts and both the web darts. does anyone know the engram names?
TheCat Sep 12, 2021 @ 3:43am 
I was just thinking that! Try their discord!
ToastFreak Aug 16, 2021 @ 10:19am 
Does this mod allow me to change the crafting speed of the Narcotics Table? Similar to how in s+ we can do this "ForgeCraftingSpeed=100"
TheCat Jul 31, 2021 @ 4:01pm 
Y'all should check out the discord. They were super helpful and I managed to edit crafting costs.
TheCat Jul 29, 2021 @ 4:29pm 
is there a way to change the crafting costs for this mod? I really like the web effect, but would prefer them to be harder to craft.
Chaos Jul 11, 2021 @ 7:28pm 
they fucking despawn after transfer lost 74 15cc darts.
Ricochet Jul 5, 2021 @ 12:57pm 
Does anyone know it this mod is still active? I can't craft anything at the table. Thanks for your help.
Snakebagel Jun 20, 2021 @ 10:45am 
Does anyone have ini setttings for this mod i cant seem to find them?
LuckyAsHell Jun 7, 2021 @ 6:06am 
Is there a possibilty to disable the higher CC narcotics and change the cost of the narcotics. Cause I feel like the possability of shooting out 15 narco darts in one dart is to powerful when it cost as much as 15 narco darts. It makes it so you earn alot of time. Making it to safe to tranq a dino without actually getting any farming penalty.
SOBEK Jun 6, 2021 @ 2:47am 
Hi. have same bug , cant craft normal narcotics and stimulant in bench, please update mod. Stay save.
Obamacare May 29, 2021 @ 11:10pm 
same cant craft normal one
Nicholas Drake Apr 23, 2021 @ 9:21pm 
Another note that the normal narcotics and stims show the engram in the table- but doesn't allow them to be crafted.
SteelStorm Apr 9, 2021 @ 3:50am 
I cant craft normal narcotics in the table, I can craft the modded ones fine, but not the vanilla ones. Additionally if you need a narcotic and 5 times the mats to make the 5cc narcotics, then you're actually using 6 times the resources for only 5 time the potency.
sully7758 Mar 20, 2021 @ 9:48am 
how do you craft stuff with the table cause no matter what i put in it would craft anything
Kimchee Jan 24, 2021 @ 4:01pm 
Is this mod still working? Used it today and the crafting table doesn't give any crafting blueprints to make these.
Croc Jan 5, 2021 @ 3:06am 
Was wondering if there was an ini for crafting speed?
₩4ЯЯƗØR Jan 2, 2021 @ 6:08am 
Are there config files to turn off that you need rare flowers? If not could you add a setting for?
Kidpowow Dec 29, 2020 @ 10:39pm 
is there a way you can make normal narcotics and stimulants craftable in the narcotics table?
Charnel Dec 25, 2020 @ 9:17pm 
Anyway to edit the crafting speed?
Ryker Dec 23, 2020 @ 9:35pm 
The web darts are great. I use them all the time.
-shhfiftyfive Dec 9, 2020 @ 9:46am 
the meat spoiler was great, thanks for this item!
this mod is worth it just for that item alone.

but when i tried the darts a few weeks back, they didn't seem potent at all.
since then i've just been using regular narco ammo.
maybe i'll test these out again to double check potency... shrug
NegativeX Nov 23, 2020 @ 3:58pm 
Can't craft anything in the narcotics table... everything is greyed out, even tho I have the mats in there and engrams trained. Ideas? Specifically trying to craft stimulant.
DrakeBD  [author] Nov 21, 2020 @ 6:28am 
@PetePootTheMood - Micky-K Yes can be used in PVP fine just make sure you got them good stimulants because if you get hit by a dart your going down so youll need your team to wake you back up
MickyK Nov 21, 2020 @ 6:26am 
@drakebd are these good for pvp?
DrakeBD  [author] Nov 12, 2020 @ 5:31am 
@Orgnolf Torper ove time cant be added to projectiles on the Narcotics itself but i tested it out and with enough people using the strong darts you can knock them out its just difficult
Wingweaver Nov 10, 2020 @ 1:33pm 
Love the mod, thank you for it. A quick note if anyone runs into issues, knocking out a tame with your items prevents the survivor from getting credit for the tame in the dossier, only important if they want the zoologist achievement.
Gnolf Nov 10, 2020 @ 11:38am 
Did you forget to add the torpor-over-time effect that is present in all vanilla tranquilizers?
Without this, it is impossible to knock-out any wild Giga. Their torpor drops too quickly if it is not rising from a torpor-over-time effect.
BearSkillz Nov 1, 2020 @ 6:03am 
Nice mod and a good addition if you have high difficulty settings on your server. Would be nice if the crafting speed could be adjustable via ini settings.
KillMAll Oct 26, 2020 @ 2:20pm 
@Zallgo I have found that to be the case with a LOT of my mods, they have to go before HG Ark Reloaded as there seem to be either corrupt files or conflicting code in that mod. still worth having for the Farm Box and a couple of other items but yea... I put HG Ark Reloaded at the bottom of my load list and ALL my mod Issues went away.
