does the grapple hook work on abbey
Cerberus Sep 27, 2020 @ 10:38pm 
For me the tracker wont work on rexes, which is weird. Anyway, great mod and glad its more or less still updated and working :)
Dolphinsong Apr 24, 2020 @ 10:23am 
I love this mod a lot, but I have never once gotten the Tracker to work... I would equip it and left clicking and right clicking does absolutely nothing. Its been like this for me since I first got the mod last year.

Heya, setting the cryo-cooldown tor something different doesn't seem to work for me. It just stays at the original value.

I completely get not maintaining mods when an update breaks them, (doubly so if you're not really playing the game anymore) but is there any chance you'd consider open sourcing the mod so that others could try the their hand at maintenance?

I think Genesis broke the grapple. My server mates and I have to fire it 2-3 times for it to grapple.

I guess this is another mod that has bit the dust - time to let my server know that they have lost all their bred dinos being stored in enhanced cryo :-(

@Zoe, the Bad Wolf

You need both lines. One hide the pod the other hides the converter.

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_EnhancedCryopod_Conversion_C",EngramHidden=true)
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_EnhancedCryopod_C",EngramHidden=true)
Zoe, the Bad Wolf Jan 10, 2020 @ 6:59pm 
Can we get a command to hide the Enhanced Cryopod?
Raynor Jan 2, 2020 @ 7:29am 
Does the Enhanced Gas Mask protect from AB mushrooms?
HolyOne Dec 10, 2019 @ 11:27am 
With the enhanced cryopods not working I was wondering how to go about turning the engram off for them so people on my server don't try and use them.
Alt-F4 Dec 4, 2019 @ 1:38am 
Does anyone know if there is a way to convert the enhanced cryopod back to a normal one, I have the player on my server constantly bombarding me asking how to get their dinos out?
Alt-F4 Nov 25, 2019 @ 9:17pm 
@DelilahEve any idea on when you may be able to look into the cryopod issue? I have a lot of my server members who have all their boss fight dinos held in enhanced cryo but can't use them until the fix.
PAULYWG Nov 23, 2019 @ 12:58pm 
I cant access Enhanced Cryopod Tames on 6 servers or Solo game. Destroys creature on use.
Alt-F4 Nov 21, 2019 @ 1:45am 
Yep since 3 ark patches ago if you threw out an enhnaced crypod you could not control the dino as it would only have a reduced menu etc (can be corrected by restarting client game), 1 patch later and if you throw down an enhanced crypos the dino actually vanishes and never returns....
tomt Nov 13, 2019 @ 3:22pm 
Gaia mod has apparently updated and fixed their cryopod issue

"Midweek patch to add the Thanksgiving event and a fix for Gaia Cryopods, thanks to Lethal!
Updated Gaia Cryopod so your stored creatures wont disappear."
tomt Nov 12, 2019 @ 3:32pm 
One of the people on my servers said he uses Gaia mod and they are discontinuing pods

<spoiler>
Gaia Cryopods will be removed in a near future since there are always something that isnt working properly with them and I simply dont have time to spend several hours or days per patch to fix stuff thats broke from WC's updates. So release your captured creatures that you want to keep before next patch hits in a couple of weeks.
</spoiler>

@Shivian thanks for the confirmation, I'll have a look into the issues as soon as I can
Shivian Nov 11, 2019 @ 6:36pm 
My servers are also having the same issue as @tomt. We had thought it was another mod causing the problems so we rolled mods and servers back and we still the same issue. Looks like the problem just started in the last patch.
DelilahEve  [author] Nov 11, 2019 @ 5:13pm 
@tomt That's the first I've heard of that, might want to roll back and re-install the mod. I'll look into whether I can find any issues with the cryopods themselves.
tomt Nov 11, 2019 @ 3:35pm 
I run a 6 map cluster and we have Ducktopia Utilities along with a few other mods. Last week (when we noticed) the Enhanced Cryopods stopped working with anything inside disappearing when thrown out.

I have restarted the servers and verified the mods and server files but still continues.

Any suggestions of things I can check?
MashhitDK Sep 10, 2019 @ 1:54pm 
Yeah, figured it would... since I'm not quite sure what else to use the mask for, but wasn't sure.

And... yes, it would... to be honest, I find it a bit weird the TEK Helmet doesn't provide poison protection by default... but a skin for it to do so would be sweeet.
DelilahEve  [author] Sep 10, 2019 @ 1:39pm 
@MashhitDK it definitely *should* work in that cave. I've had it working in past but it seems to stop working every few updates from Ark. I'm not sure if that's my BP being corrupt or what, so that's been an ongoing investigation for like months with it working right after I re-cook the mod and breaking shortly after.

I *love* the idea of having it as a skin as well, would be fantastic addition for the Tek Helmet.
MashhitDK Sep 10, 2019 @ 12:06pm 
First of all great mod(s) <3
- Using both this and the Ducktopia Healing

Anyways... not sure if it's by design... but the Enhanced Gas Mask doesn't seem to work in the Swamp Cave [ark.gamepedia.com]... at least doesn't work for Me in there.
Which leads Me to the first of My requests/suggestions...
1. Would like to see it working in the Swamp Cave [ark.gamepedia.com] since it's pretty much the only place I use it, not counting sometimes when collecting eggs on Ragnarok (but haven't tested to see if it protects against Poison Wyvern(s) yet)
2. Wouldn't mind seeing it as a "SKIN" much like the Enhanced Scuba Mask Skin
Raynor Sep 4, 2019 @ 11:01pm 
Now's a good time! :P
DelilahEve  [author] Sep 4, 2019 @ 9:42pm 
@Raynor that's something I've been meaning to do for quite some time, just been so swamped by real life it's hard to find the time lol!
Raynor Sep 4, 2019 @ 1:36pm 
Suggestion: Would you be open to adding a spyglass? Something like this?: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1831041877
Raynor Aug 25, 2019 @ 9:02am 
ok ty. :)
DelilahEve  [author] Aug 24, 2019 @ 9:47pm 
@Raynor yeah, I can do that! I'll add it to my list!
Raynor Aug 24, 2019 @ 2:10pm 
Can you add the AB mushroom spores to the Enhanced Gas Mask please?
DelilahEve  [author] Jul 23, 2019 @ 10:24pm 
@cuberille definitely not known yet. Mind making a post in the forum section for me about it? Would help most if you can provide steps to replicate the crash.
cuberille Jul 23, 2019 @ 5:45pm 
The tracker, as of a recent update, is causing people to crash on our servers. Wondering if this is a known issue?
zyMex Jul 15, 2019 @ 9:25am 
niiiice :D i will add your mod to my server when it have that :D
since them i can remove 2 mods and only use one :D big improvement :D

saw you can get source from orionsun super spyglass
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=793605978

but kinda need an inprovement atleast it need to see player/tribe name on player/dino/buildings, like bit2k and SEL have =) but super dosent
DelilahEve  [author] Jul 14, 2019 @ 10:03pm 
@Zymex adding an improved spyglass is definitely something I want to do! Just need to get through the next month or so and I can swing back into action on my mods!
zyMex Jul 14, 2019 @ 1:04pm 
this mod is nice, if it has a nice spyglass like super spyglass or SEL style, it would be a nice all in one like utilities+ was before they made crap spyglass :(
DelilahEve  [author] Jul 2, 2019 @ 1:13pm 
Glider is one of those items I'm iffy about, I have no improvements I personally want to make to it. But, if I get enough requests for it though I'd consider it.
Raynor Jul 1, 2019 @ 4:15pm 
Any Chance of adding a glider?
DelilahEve  [author] May 25, 2019 @ 11:27am 
yes, there's some new graphing that I need to integrate into my version. A lot of things can't be inherited unfortunately because I had to override and re-implement them to be able to tweak them, and I've been short on time lately which is preventing me from getting in there and properly updating them. I will however be updating them as soon as I can. Within about 2 weeks is my goal for that, but please don't hold me to a solid date there, life happens and the update might be late :P
Kekvit Irae May 25, 2019 @ 9:59am 
So while reading up on the cryopods on the Ark wiki, I noticed that the Ducktopia cryopods are the pre-291.100 versions. Babies reset their imprint timer to 8 hours, mating cooldown is reset on adult females, and there's no tooltip info. Will the Ducktopia version of the cryopod be updated?
Kicore May 24, 2019 @ 11:36am 
@Kevkit Irae

Well when you say it like that, that makes sense.
Kekvit Irae May 24, 2019 @ 7:19am 
@Kicore
Because neither of us on the server own Extinction, and thus we didn't know the limitations of the actual cryopods. Think of the change as more of a failsafe for future derping, either by me or anyone else who doesn't quite know how a cryopod works fully.
Kicore May 23, 2019 @ 7:23pm 
@Kevkit Irae

I just don't understand why you just wouldn't use the cryopod on wild dinos if you don't want to cryopod wild dinos...??
DelilahEve  [author] May 23, 2019 @ 5:41pm 
yup, I can definitely add an ini option to disable that. I'll throw it in for the next update.
Kekvit Irae May 23, 2019 @ 5:26pm 
I do play on a small server with only me and my friend, both of us are admins, but we don't want anything that could be considered cheating. Is there a way to turn off the admin ability to cryopod wild dinos via ini file, or would it be possible to add in that option in the future?
DelilahEve  [author] May 23, 2019 @ 2:37pm 
@Kekvit Irae this should only happen if you are an admin of the server and are using the cryopod for things it wasn't intended for (ie cryo-ing a wild creature). Upon release from the cryopod the creature stored is given to the tribe that the thrower is in, this is why there are no taming levels. It's not being tamed, it's the item being misused.

The ability for the cryopod to do this for admins is intentional and is up to the discretion of the admin for how to best use (or abuse) this, and as such I will be making no changes to the behaviour in that regard. All that said, if you are not an admin and this is occurring then that's a different story and should be corrected.
Kekvit Irae May 23, 2019 @ 6:19am 
Using an enhanced cryopod will instantly tame a knocked out creature, but will not notify the player nor give the bonus levels. I'd rather the cryopod didn't tame the creature I'm transporting.
DelilahEve  [author] May 14, 2019 @ 2:00pm 
@WellyWonka I've had confirmation from one of my admins that the Enhanced Cryopod now properly drops inventory loot. Hope the issue is solved for you too!
DelilahEve  [author] May 10, 2019 @ 12:13pm 
@WellyWonka I've not had much time to hop into the dev kit lately, but fixing that and other issues is still a top priority! It's looking like I'll have some time this weekend to try to sort out that issue in particular. If all goes well I might have a fix to put out very soon!
Zyos Fortes May 4, 2019 @ 3:30pm 
Any updates on the inventory vanishing when using cryos?
Zoe, the Bad Wolf May 2, 2019 @ 4:05am 
Thank you, very much!
