I have a question and an idea
Question: What's with the skewers in the thumbnail that dont seem to be in the game?

Idea: additional skewers/kabobs such as plain meat and fish meat(which could be cooked again to make smoked versions that last longer), or vegetable skewers(made with carrots and/or potatoes)

@n01z3 this was resolved with the latest patch. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We removed the requirement for water during crafting

dumb issue but i dropped my tek canteen in for water and the bench was clearly hungry and took my canteen, other then that, crafting resources needed are fair and the evolution from lower tier to OP tranqs is fair.

@IamSagittare thank you, we are new to this and overlooked our decrease in damage affecting the torpor output, we are currently cooking a version that will be available soon to fix this.

I've mapped the total torpor that I deal with each of the tranq arrows with a 358% damage crossbow:
normal 562
x10 437
x50 ~1800
x100 ~3600
x200 ~7k
x500 ~17.5k

It seems like the quality of the crossbow is not taken into account for these tranqs. Did you set plain values for the torpor amounts? The vanilla tranqs use a fomula that takes weapon damage into account (wiki states: "Upon hit, they instantly increase the target's torpor by an amount equal to 200% of the weapon damage and give an additional amount of torpor equal to 250% of the weapon damage over the course of the next 4 seconds.")

Besides that ^ issue, all the tranq darts do exactly the same damage as the arrows. Normal tranq darts deal more torpor than normal tranq arrows (about double!). I feel like the difference between tranq darts and tranq arrows needs to be maintained, since the longneck rifle fires much slower and darts are more expensive.

food aswell.

@loreloreando789 You should be able to get around in Unreal Engine 4 and here is a decent place to start: https://arkmodding.net/

@Empasm Yes! I polled :) Is your mod open source? Or from where you get the documentation to make a mod? Thanks you so much!

@mono1549 Added! Unless we missed anything this is about as far as we intended this mod to go. We will be looking into making different mods soon though

you could make darts for the long neck rifle

@loreloreando789 please take the poll. The mod size was increased for custom arrow graphics. We were unaware it would increase it that much.

Once we give some time for the poll to be filled out we will either revert it to stock arrows look for each type or leave it as is. Depending on the community.

So far, no Discord.

Aws mod! Why the mod size has been increased to 20 MB? Looks awesome under 1 MB
You have discord channel?
