Easy use of this mod;

1. Add this mod (2100040774) to the end/bottom of your mod list order "ActiveMods=" which is inside the GameUserSettings.ini (GUS.ini) Loading last, allowing it to catch all.
2. Add the config below to the very bottom GUS.ini with a line break before and after like:

[GetEngrams]
GetEngrams=True
RemapRemovesRemapee=False

(If using stack mods like HG or SMM then do RemapRemovesRemapee=True)
3. Add if not already existing, the command line argument -servergamelog to the very end of your command line arguments (I.E. TheIsland?Listen -Log -servergamelog)

Once all this is set up, go ahead, run the server, and let it fully start up, now check logs in the folder /shootergame/saved/logs (look for the newest log sorted by date)

That's how you use this to obtain all engrams within all mods, so you can further customize/optimize your server.

The following does not require the mod to be installed anymore or configured in any way.

Basic steps on how to disable engrams;

1. Enable the boolean: bOnlyAllowSpecifiedEngrams=true within the game.ini this time (This hides any engrams which are NOT added into the game.ini)

2. Remove any entries of engrams you do not wish to have, anything you remove from the list, will not show up in the games engram entries.

*Some entries may still appear in some crafting stations under certain conditions!
Always mindwipe all players on the server so there is little to no future conflict.

I will not go into further detail, as there are plenty of meticulous guides online.

Honestly i have been using this mod for a year now and it is the best tool i have ever used for server set up! thank you so much for this @Kronogenics!

I pretty much don't maintain my mods unless I'm actively playing ARK. May check the various updates for information on moved logs or something?

I'm going to be "that person" but I followed the instructions in your How To post - put everything where it was suppose to be, restarted the server with the mod enabled and "GetEngrams=true" in the GUS. However, the log does not appear in the specified location. It seems like it should be really straight forward, so I guess I'm missing something somewhere. Can you help at all?
Kronogenics  [ophavsmand] 8. mar. 2021 kl. 11:48 
That's exactly what it's for :)

I have already deleted the engrams the log gaves me that I had previously modified, so in the end I will have engrams modified + engrams given to me by the log, to be used at the same time with bOnlyAllowSpecifiedEngrams=true.

Can this utility above help me to eliminate the dates before every OverrideNamedEngramEntries in the log? Otherwise I have prepared a macro and I will leave the pc turned on to eliminate "manually" every date and time at the beginning of every string.
Kronogenics  [ophavsmand] 7. mar. 2021 kl. 9:48 
If you need to modify engrams you still can, make sure to check out the utility, that will help considerably.
Shayoden 7. mar. 2021 kl. 9:04 
Ok, solved:
1) I putted -LOG -servergamelog in the start option in Steam
2) putted
[GetEngrams]
GetEngrams=true
RemapRemovesRemapee=true
in GUS.ini
3) started a non-dedicated session of my game, and not a single-player one

No log file has been created, but I could did a copy paste into a txt file of the text in the log that opened with the game.

The only downside is that it lists unmodified engrams, both vanilla and from mods, because I have working modified engrams in my game.ini, and all of this shows engrams like nothing is written about them in your game.ini, but is a flaw that is surely negligible considering how helpful, and I would say necessary, this mod is to prevent lag from the engrams menu.

Thank you

Hello, sorry for bothering you.
I am trying to use this mod in SP but no log is created in steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Logs.

I putted
[GetEngrams]
GetEngrams=true
RemapRemovesRemapee=false

in my GUS.ini, and bOnlyAllowSpecifiedEngrams=true in my game.ini,
and my start options are these: https://ibb.co/3ymkFD5
so I really do not understand where I'm doing wrong.

Could you please help me?

Does this mod works with engram unlocker?
Kronogenics  [ophavsmand] 20. feb. 2021 kl. 17:00 
Definitely checkout the helper website, that should make your life a lot easier in the long run.
Anorak 19. feb. 2021 kl. 22:24 
thought so, super useful since most mod authors don't like engram level and cost, mega useful mod, thank you!
Kronogenics  [ophavsmand] 19. feb. 2021 kl. 20:15 
The only thing this does is create a list of every single engram that is referenced, hidden or not. The action of hiding the engrams is up to you.
Anorak 19. feb. 2021 kl. 11:46 
ok, this will pull ALL the engrams, it won't hide currently hidden engrams correct?
Kronogenics  [ophavsmand] 23. okt. 2020 kl. 2:22 
Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini are NOT command lines.

In GameUserSettings.ini add the config settings found at the bottom of the mod description with "GetEngrams" set to true. Start the server with the mod enabled.

Once the server has started, stop the server, get the game log from ShooterGame/Saved/Logs, then use it's contents with the helper website that's listed in the description.

I hate to be "that guy" but the instructions are a bit confusing. Which command line is -servergamelog supposed to be placed in? Game ini.? I understand where to find the log but am not able to generate it.
丛雨丸 8. sep. 2020 kl. 8:26 
BUT HOW TO STOP IT ? I can't even learn anything now.(I dont know its meaning until I use it.

@Commander Comrade Slav @Ez3kiel posted a simple how too in the discussions
Commander Slav 18. aug. 2020 kl. 0:43 
Where is the output at? I've looked in several spots but I am unable to locate it. Any sort of assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I read over the description and can clearly see it says that it'll be output into the log, but again, after looking in multiple locations I cannot find anything with said information.
Oni Bytes 8. aug. 2020 kl. 15:15 
Instructions are a bit confusing for some people, but once you know whats up, this mod works fine and there is no lag in my Engram menu at all.
あや 20. juli 2020 kl. 13:23 
Works as intended, thanks!
Ez3kiel 12. juli 2020 kl. 2:09 
ok good for you users wil judge, i don't care.
Kronogenics  [ophavsmand] 11. juli 2020 kl. 18:26 
People have used it successfully, and the information on how to use it is clearly there in the description. This is very much a mod that you have to understand the use case for in order to use it properly.

It's been useful to a couple of people, and that's enough to make it worth it for me.
Ez3kiel 11. juli 2020 kl. 3:28 
no id, no info except 2 code lines.Where to put this?in game user settings probably but again no info.
how to active the mods, where is the list after instalaion.
Srly this mods maybe work and could be great but with this kind of attitude "If you don't understand how to use this, or why it's useful, then this mod probably doesn't pertain to you"
Just keep the mod for you, don't share it
Admiral Tarkod 3. juli 2020 kl. 8:59 
it works perfect! Thx. Adding More than 1700 Engrams and no lags! Hiding only 80 Engrams and we got Huge lag :steamhappy:
Kronogenics  [ophavsmand] 2. juli 2020 kl. 16:45 
If you don't understand how to use this, or why it's useful, then this mod probably doesn't pertain to you.
CATAHA 2. juli 2020 kl. 9:36
