The new ores are a nightmare to find on the map. I think it would be easier to just take the standard metal and maybe convert it then using the blacksmith crafting station into whatever is needed from there.

Would be awesome to see a Jewelry crafting addition for the blacksmith.

Yes there is, also this might sound snarky, but I am pretty sure the mod author knows if he put bellows in the mod ;)

What bellows? theres no bellows item.
Beardo  [author] Jun 26, 2023 @ 6:46am 
You need to place coal in the forge, attach the bellows and use them.
Nagafusa Jun 26, 2023 @ 5:26am 
Right. I put coal in and nothing happens. the enriched coal says it needs wood. I cannot place wood in.
Beardo  [author] Jun 26, 2023 @ 5:09am 
No, you need the Kanga Coal for the primitive forge.
Nagafusa Jun 26, 2023 @ 5:07am 
Can't place wood into the primitive smelter.

Are the vanilla tools and weapons and arrows still craftable or are they replaced?
RowmanPearce Mar 23, 2023 @ 7:19am 
Game of Thrones map ores are not spawning. You have to place it manually and sometimes it bugs and doesn't give the ore.

Does anyone have a solution?

I know I'm asking alot but can we please use the gravel for cementing paste or a resource like it I'm dying here sitting on thousands of gravel 😅 plus your mods are awesome especially on the Hunted session I'm playing for the past couple months 😍

None of your ores appear, which hinders the whole thing, is there another way to get your speical ore besides mining it? Im on lost island, and the server has animals of atlas, babys dino spawn, and human spawn incase that may mess up your ores

Feedback information. Riding about on my Anky, collecting resources. Swung the tail at a Pure Metal Node and got impure metal ore, metal ore and stone. Swung the tail at Impure Metal Nodes and get nothing but stone. I'm not complaining. I respect the mod maker choice. I was just expecting the Anky to work the same way the Pick does. On the upside, I don't have to go tame a doedicurus just to get a lot of stone.

Is there a way to increase the speed of the forge?
Beardo  [author] Jul 24, 2022 @ 6:07am 
The website tells you where to craft each item.
Archy Bunker Jul 24, 2022 @ 6:06am 
Is there a flow chart somewhere? Craft this to get to this, etc etc. Or a way to put all the engrams once learned into a folder? I am so lost on this mod.
Beardo  [author] Jul 23, 2022 @ 6:59pm 
The metal nodes are attached to dion spawns, so they spawn the dinos do.
By default the limited nodes are attached to the Para and Dilo, the better nodes are attached to Kentro and Anky. The dino they are attached to can be adjusted in the INI settings.
GobboKirk Jul 20, 2022 @ 10:58am 
Kinda a all over :)
Archy Bunker Jul 20, 2022 @ 10:52am 
Where on Fjurdor can I find the new resource nodes? Any specific place or are they just sort of all over?
Beardo  [author] Jul 12, 2022 @ 5:47am 
The Stamp mill has 3 inventory components, One at the back that takes the ore, one in the middle that holds the pistons, and one at the front where the out ends up.
Make sure you are accessing the rear "ore hopper" inventory when placing ore in the Stamp mill.
Zengetzu Jul 12, 2022 @ 2:50am 
Having an issues making ore after putting into the mill. I have the stamp pistons i stalled and it's running.
Kharlnor Jun 22, 2022 @ 1:33am 
Thanks @Beardo. I also had a problem of my game crashing after refreshing all mods. As it turned out, moving this to the top of the Kanga mods list was the answer.
GobboKirk Jun 15, 2022 @ 9:38am 
Perfect timing, was just wonderint about a replacement .ini :)
Beardo  [author] Jun 12, 2022 @ 5:24pm 
If you are talking about spawning non kanga tools like a pick, there is an INI setting to stop the replacement (UseWeaponReplacements=False)
Check out the website for all the INI settings.
Sniterhertz Jun 12, 2022 @ 4:07pm 
Mod destroys your game, no way to spawn normal non kanker mod stuff, seriously, fix that please.
Cadence Jun 8, 2022 @ 6:23am 
Impure nodes never spawn in. I only ever find pure nodes.
Kasumi Noxumbra May 27, 2022 @ 3:10pm 
@Beardo, Looks like that fixed the issue. Thank you so much. n_n
Beardo  [author] May 27, 2022 @ 12:19am 
@Kasumi Noxumbra, Try making Kanga Blacksmith the top Kanga Mod, does not have to be at the complete top but higher than any other Kanga mod. See if that helps.
Kasumi Noxumbra May 26, 2022 @ 9:00pm 
Okay so I can't join the discord link for whatever reason to give a bug report but got some issue going on with the update on my non-dedicated server using Ark Server Manager that doesn't give a crash report. This crash only happens if I have this mod installed. My server version running is 345.37 with this mods latest update and this was running fine last night with this mod before it updated.
Iirly May 21, 2022 @ 7:22pm 
Ok. I can join a discord for that. Thanks for letting me know where it is.
Beardo  [author] May 21, 2022 @ 5:39pm 
The full list of items in currently in our discord, I should put a copy on the website. I'll look at doing that soon.
Iirly May 21, 2022 @ 4:23pm 
@Beardo I've looked in this mod's section of the website and I cannot find the item codes for things like the Impure ore, pure ore, and items from other mods. I'd like to add them to the S+ pull list. Are they listed somewhere?
Vahn Smash May 17, 2022 @ 5:46am 
Hi, I love the Kanga series concept and have been trying all the mods out in SP before adding them to my server, but I think I've missed something or have a conflicting mod somewhere. Nothing I burn produces charcoal for the forge. I've tried regular and chopped wood in the charcoal burner amd campfire, and they burn but produce no charcoal. Any ideas?
JackGenesisX May 14, 2022 @ 6:06pm 
there will be *
JackGenesisX May 14, 2022 @ 6:02pm 
open more weapons and armor etc in the future?
GUS_CHIGGINZ Apr 26, 2022 @ 6:03pm 
@thaelin you should consider checking out the website and looking at the roadmap for this project!
Thaelin Apr 17, 2022 @ 5:05am 
Well ok then, going to go over the rest of your mods before making any more comments, I see you've already got something going for culinary as well lol.
Thaelin Apr 17, 2022 @ 5:03am 
Errr, nvm, I just seen youve already started something for that lol, nice. As long as you are doing gardening and food, you should probably add something for a chef and better foods?
Thaelin Apr 17, 2022 @ 4:58am 
Very nice mod, Id like to see something like this implemented in ARK 2. Something like this would actually give tribes a little more purpose other than for just taking out other tribes, you'd actually have to have people filling specific positions or at least one position....next is gardeners who grow crops faster and more abundant? and hatchery/husbandry attendants/herders who can hatch and raise dinos faster and with better imprinting?, nice.
karadan Jan 4, 2022 @ 8:18am 
coal locations lost island? dont want to wait on Santa :)
Beardo  [author] Dec 10, 2021 @ 2:23pm 
@Fear The custom ore nodes should spawn based on dino spawns. This can be a little depended on what map your on and what other mods you have installed. If you are having issues I'd suggest joining our Discord if you can as there is lots of discussion and help to get this to work with all maps and mods plus info on how to override setting and adjust the mod.
Fear Dec 10, 2021 @ 11:22am 
Something not quite rite with this mod for me, i flew around all the spawns for over an hour and only mined 2 ores, the rarity is very bad or my mod is broken.
Please allow command ID's to allow spawning items. Cheers for the mod :)
Beardo  [author] Dec 5, 2021 @ 11:48pm 
@Squall There is no INI setting for the bellows, however the amount of air provided each time you use them is calculated on the Bellow type and the players skill level, so the high number of times you need to use the bellows is only in the primitive stage, once you get the large bellows and your character has more skill then you will not need you use them very often.
Squall Dec 5, 2021 @ 6:03am 
@beardo
Ah thank you!
I didn´t notice the effectiveness scale at all, and I thought the description of the whetstone meant, that the dmg percentage is set back to 100 %.

Another thing tough- is there a .ini setting for how often you can use the bellows?
For my personal experience 10 sec is really long and it is a bit annoying when you want to produce bigger amounts of ingots.

Overall a very good mod :)
Beardo  [author] Nov 22, 2021 @ 1:57pm 
@Squall Unless you are playing on a modified server that is basically how it works. They lose a small amount of sharpness every hit down to a minimum of 40% but that minimum is INI configurable.
The weak items will lose sharpness faster than the better quality items and need to be sharpened more often. Using the pocket whetstone will return the item to 100% sharpness.
Squall Nov 22, 2021 @ 9:53am 
Suggestions:

To actually integrate the Sharpness, there could be a chance for the tool to not be sharp anymore while using it, thus saving the item data like damage % and durability, but need to carry whetstones with you to make the weapon actually useable again.
Beardo  [author] Nov 19, 2021 @ 10:24pm 
@Wheat Bread, you can make it in the stamp mill.
Wheat Bread Nov 19, 2021 @ 8:51am 
Where do I find the obsidian powder at?
Beardo  [author] Sep 21, 2021 @ 1:06am 
@FopseTheMighty Come check out our discord, most of that staff is there while this is still in beta, I keep the discord up to date and can help out there.
Fobbi Sep 20, 2021 @ 1:49pm 
Great Mod! Is there any possibility to modify some of the options? For example increase the spawns of the new metal ore or increase/decrease the cost of some items. And do you have the spawn codes for the ressources? I want to create a medieval style multiplayer server and want to test some things first. Ty!!
