I really hope mod support gets sorted out soon.
After the recent update, most of the mods I use are now broken. My server crashes during startup or when loading assets, and it's clearly related to mods not being updated for the latest version. I've tested with a clean setup, and multiple mods are affected.

If any mod authors see this—thank you for everything you’ve created. I understand this situation isn’t your fault, and that you're likely waiting on DevKit updates or dealing with unexpected issues.

If possible, I hope you’ll consider at least recooking or republishing the mod, even with no new changes, just so it can stay usable for the community moving forward. Many of us still rely on your work and would love to continue using it.

No way to configure the Aberration gem veins (Red) specifically? I wanted to add element to them.

Just that aspect of S+ is incompatible with what this mod does. :(

Hi, really thanks for your mod, I have one question here,
Every function is fine in my server, but I could not use harvester from S+ to get what I have stetted in the ini file. I mean, I could get black pearl while I mine the metal with my char, but my harvester couldn't done the same thing, is there anything I need to be aware of?

This mod replaces the components that are responsible for harvesting. As such, it isnt compatible with mods that do the same thing. Likely one or both of those mods you listed is likely doing that.

As for removing resources, no. It was designed to augment harvesting, not totally replace it.

I just figured, when using "The Hunted" some of the preset vanilla components do not work. In your "Custom Dino Loot" mod you allow setting up loot drops by searching for string variants(*hesperonis*, *para* etc.), could something like that be done with "Custom Harvesting" as well? As far as I checked "The Hunted" keeps the same naming convention, only adding "DA_" as pre tag. So "CrystalHarvestComponent_C" becomes "DA_CrystalHarvestComponent_C". As far as I understand all of the resources are replaced by "The Hunted", as I haven't found one that works like vanilla.

Also, it may very well be that the mod "Island Extension: Resources" is causing the issue, since it customizes the name of Crystal to distribute it across The Island. Issue could be solved the same way using string tagging.

Also, also, can we actually use "Custom Harvesting" to make some vanilla elements never show up on harvesting?

@rooibaard86 Add this code at the bottom of your GameUserSettings.ini file:

[CustomHarvesting]
Metal=1.0,/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_ElementDust.PrimalItemResource_ElementDust

This code gives you 1 Element Dust for each 1 Metal you harvest from metal nodes.

Hi Guys need some help, we have a vanilla like server on lost island all i want to do is add some element dust when mining metal nothing else can someone maybe just give me the example i can copy and paste

Alrighty, then this may be a bug specific to Kanga Blacksmithing. I'll pop in their discord at some point.

This remaps harvesting comps and only harvesting comps. It doesnt touch weapons, items, tools, etc, to any degree.

Hey Quell, I'm getting an issue on my Kanga Hunted server when this is installed. When certain tools break, they give all sorts of whacky resources to me based on what I configured for this mod. They don't normally give anything upon breaking. I know I'm running a few mods that touch harvest components, loaded before as well as after this mod. Mainly this happens when I make Kanga's Gravel drop from Stone and StoneRiver. It's been happening for quite awhilw, just came back from taking a long break from ARK.

Some of your mods were used in the ASA game . For example fast ammo changer

@Plastic Puppet I will likely, over time, make any previous mods for ASA, assuming it makes sense. Something like HLNA will not be reintroduced(or introduced at all maybe), until it's a system once again in ASA.

It seems that the most irreplaceable mods have basically the same creator :/

One of the most useful mods. Will you make it for ASA ?

I got it by going into the folder since I know the games goes to the folder where that file is at lol.
But yeah, it's the cactus sap I wanted, I don't know why I didn't think of the word sap being with it.
Thank you, I guess I just had a brain fart there and couldn't think straight but it's working now =)

The wiki has spawn codes for all items in the game. No idea where you got "Game/ScorchedEarth/CoreBlueprints/HarvestComponents/" from lol

Im assuming you went cactus sap?
Bushes=2.0,0.5,/Game/ScorchedEarth/CoreBlueprints/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_CactusSap.PrimalItemConsumable_CactusSap

There are many examples above and in the discussions.

How would I got about adding Cactus to bushes? What I have right now is:

Bushes=2.0,0.50,Game/ScorchedEarth/CoreBlueprints/HarvestComponents/

I looked inside the scorched earth resource folder and do not see cactus in there so I'm guessing I have to path the directory to the harvestcomponents folder. Do I just add Cactus at the end of the line I just posted?

@Quellcrest, very bad )

@Plastic Puppet Haven't touched the mod in a year and a half. I consider it complete. Im sure there's some missing components, but nothing crazy.

Correction. Now everything has started to be extracted from crystals. Perhaps you have made amendments to this mod? Perhaps the map has changed somehow? Now the crystals are working

I play SP and sometimes with one other person & this helps so much with gathering & farming without feeling like you've cheated due to the config setting. Thank you so much!!!

Lost island- Crystal others: the mood for neither-nor does not work (Crystal) It works on other maps

Ok Thanks, i will try it

@barracuda922 This is the wiki:
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Congealed_Gas_Ball

and this is the correct bp path:
/Game/Aberration/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Gas.PrimalItemResource_Gas

oh, do you mean the game wiki, when you spawn things in, if you do, i got it :)

awesome, wheres the wiki?

That's not the spawn code for the gas balls. Check the wiki.

Stone=0.5,/Game/Aberration/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_CongealedGasBall.PrimalItemResource_CongealedGasBall

This is my current attempt....

I have tried adding them but it does not work

i have tried changing to aberration in the text and i have tried BlueGems and Blue_Gems but neither seems to work

You can add them to any component entry I created, sure. ie: Stone or Cactus.

There are many examples listed above and in the discussions.

can i add blue gems and congealed gas balls to this ini file?

Any harvestable components I enabled are listed above. That said, you can always ini edit dino loot or use another mod I have:

I have the same question as Delly.
Can I add Element Shard to Tek Dinos' corpses?

can you custom harvest dino corpses?

Yes

Is this mod still working?

@Just a Gamer Could be your version of what "lunar stone" is and the game's are different. There's a harvesting component called "LunarCaveStoneHarvestComponent_LowHealth" and "LunarStoneHarvestComponent" and a few others. I replaced them with custom ones and marked them as "lunar stone". Which ones those are in game, Im not sure. I've honestly never played genesis.

@quellcrest
I meant that you can also customize it in this mod.

Example:

Does not work
LunarStone=1.5,/Game/Mods/Ark_Add_Resources/Metal/Copper/PrimalItemResource_Copper_Child.PrimalItemResource_Copper_Child


Works Fine
Metal=1.5,/Game/Mods/Ark_Add_Resources/Metal/Copper/PrimalItemResource_Copper_Child.PrimalItemResource_Copper_Child

Do you have there evtl a complete list of what degradable resources you can insert here to change the content?

^ LunarStone = Most stone variants that also give ambergris(genesis)

Already exists.

Hey @Quellcrest is it possible to make a "component" like Lunastone to?

I want to change the Item to harvest from Lunarstone.

cross gen mods that change the crystal harvesting are the only one i found that clashes with adding crystal config

@Niya Singleplayer, dedi, doesn't matter. Works on all maps, ish. If a map uses some really custom harvest components, maybe not 100% functional for that map. Pretty rare though I'd say.

I was wondering if this mod works on the Island map single player?

Thank you!

sure you aware of this but some attacks from a creature like a maewing or mammoth for example the bushes dont break and can gather infinite of what ever in the config for bushes. but other then that its solid. can set up cross style maps on any map.

@Jeffrey C Drywater Without diving into the technicals, there are lots of harvestables that can not be edited in the way this mod was designed. Pretty sure this is one such case. At some point I will add any missing harvestables if/when I find them. By and large though, the mod still works wonderfully and you can always stick any missing resources into other harvestables and just adjust the rates to compensate.

I am certain that you have long since moved on from this fantastic mod, but, if by chance you have not, I would so very much appreciate you adding either the big desert stones (that you harvest with a pick) or the desert rocks you pick up. If you do or if you don't, I appreciate your work either way and shall not pester you any further... Probably.

Amazing! Thank you! <3

@Mewkel I already did :) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2493509767
