I have two questions / requests for the Deco Helpers. One, can you create "wall" Deco Helpers? Similar to the floor ones but for attaching stuff to a wall where it may not otherwise want to go. Two, the existing floor Deco Helpers - is it possible to set a flag or something similar that would let them act as floor for things (like some workbenches) that won't let you put them on the ground? Some benches must be placed on a floor, but if it's easy to change the DHs so you could put one down then set a workbench on it, that's be awesome.

Thanks, as always!

Oh didn't know you wanted both.
I'll rename the current destroy to grind and add a destroy button that just destroys.

I see you did add "SkipDestroyWidgetConfirmation=false". Excellent. Maybe one for each function - destroy and breakdown?

Please, please, please put the inventory destroy back the way it was! I like the option to get back resources, but PLEASE make it a separate option! The ability to clean up my inventory on the fly was maybe the greatest thing ever added to the game by a mod.

If I may be so bold, have one "destroy" and one "breakdown" button - and add an .ini option to remove the "Are you sure?" - just my suggestion...

Neither. If I place a bench inside, it acknowledges that the bench is in there and lets me add it. It then shows in the list of benches supported. I will get a screenshot and send it in Discord. I tried a few different things, but couldn't get it to work. Thanks!

The blueprint bench never has any blueprints by default. You need to add your own blueprints or you mean your mod that fills it doesn't work anymore?

Oh, but I do dig the delete function! I hate dropping stuff on the ground waiting for it to disappear.

The blueprint workbench seems to have broken with the last update. I've tried starting a new game and the same effect is there - the bench has no blueprints, just an empty inventory.

Yes, sorry. Al my mods get like +32MB every time i cook them and sometimes I forget to delete those directories from the output. Next update is today or tomorrow I hope.

why is this mod so big? it might have alot of mod bloat that cooked out with it from the dev kit.

Say, 'split'

Here’s an example script for Voice Attack that assumes the resolution of the game is 1920x1080 and that the interface scale in the game is set to exactly halfway on the slider under Options. Using this script, the user would hover above the desired stack of items and would say, “split 250”. The script would move the mouse to this mod’s dialog box, clear the field, enter the desired number - 250 in this case - and then press the “Split” button. (see next comment)

You may consider adding the following to the description of this mod:

Using desktop automation software like AutoHotkey or Voice Attack can help controller users reduce reliance on the keyboard and help all users complete certain tasks more quickly than using the keyboard alone. However, these desktop automation type software utilities rely on user interface components like dialog boxes to be in predictable places to work. Because Ark’s “Split” command cannot be accessed using set keyboard sequences (e.g. right arrow, down arrow, down arrow, enter) and because the dialog box for Ark’s Split command cannot be relied upon to be in a specific or predictable position on the screen, this mod was cleverly developed by the amazing Benz0minera for those who use controllers in combination with automation software to play Ark.
