@GasMaster - Thanks for the comment, I honestly have no idea it was a Mod I made in 2017 and later lost my project files for all my mods in a single hard drive failure, sucks but it was the end of my modding for Ark

do they spawn in the lost island? and where?

Hi SailingJester77 unfortunately the PC with all my ark projects on got fried so I lost the ability to work on them more, some work still others don't, sorry for the inconvenience if any of them no longer work.

Is this mod finished or a WIP???

@SirT, it will depend on how the server owner sets it up, they can indeed be added to the spawns list on the server so that they spawn wild but I don't add them into my mod as this could end up causing conflicts with spawn lists admins can have already set up

do they spawn wild? unsure

i've noticed there is no description of howthe mod actually works : i know i need " berrynectar" to craft the ant minions and the other things but i have no idea of how to get said " berrynectar"

i love ants thankyou for this mod

try making a queen ant

i love ants why you do this now i need this mod

ok i will check back but i might have done the wrong blueprint because there are like 5 blueprint paths

Only the one writing the mod can know the correct filename path for the blueprints / cheat codes guppyexpress, look up some tutorials or google search is really the only way for you to resolve, hopefully just a minor issue for you, good luck

bad news i did exactly what you told me but it did not work if i am missing anything please tell me on the mod mega snails.

ok thanks I will try to set it up and see if it works

No problem on the delay guppyexpress had alot going in real life myself, for your snail to spawn you will need the directory path leading to the blueprint of your created dino, followed by the dino bluepring name (twice) seperate by a "." period, for example:
admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/BattleAnt/FireAnt/FireAnt_Character_BP.FireAnt_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 35
In my dino example the bluepring of my dino is "FireAnt_Character_BP" so the ending of the summon command is "FireAnt_Character_BP.FireAnt_Character_BP" and the directory folder path leading to where the dino is "/Game/Mods/BattleAnt/FireAnt/"

Yours would look like:-
admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'[YOUR DIRECTORY PATH][DINO BP NAME].[DINO BP NAME AGAIN]"

Make sure to have all required ' " and . as in my example in the correct place and just replace the text in [ ] brackets with your own directory path and dino BP name.

Hope it helps and keep at it, happy modding !!

anil mod cant make it spawn in or cheat in still cant find out, (sorry about the delay i was out of town) do you know what to do cuz i am still new to the modding thing and every way of makeing the cheat code faild do you know what it would look like? the mod folder is aa the name of the snail is Achatina_yt and my mod id is 881905188

=( damn I wonder what changed in the last game update then.. Might have to bin this one as I dont have backups after my hardrive reformat, I now see why some developers drop their mods =/ One minute it works fine, then it doesn't..

guppyexpress - any news on your snail mod ? how's that coming along

ok thanks and when i can get the code hope you like the snails

Just remember to have the character blueprint of your dino at the end of the folder path twice with a . period/fullstop between them.

Hi guppyexpress, you follow the folder path to the item or dino you want, if you have a look at my spawn codes section above use that as a guide and replace the folder path to your own dino.

ok i am good but now i need to know how to make a cheat code...
how do you make one

ok thx... but i still dont know what the mpas means on the cooking section of the dev kit

Most welcome good to hear they are working now and as for them spawning you can add them as a % chance of spawning in one of the existing spawngroups such as beavers (or other dinos), theres some good youtube videos out there on getting them spawning and maps showing where specific spawngroups are most common, between the two you have a pretty good chance deciding the rarity and location.

YES YES YES YES YES THANK YOU SO MUCH! :) IT WORKS (but is not compatable with dlc or other mods yet) BUT IT WORKS also idk where they spawn or how to make them spawn but i will try to cheat them in thx for the help

but what do you put in the section that says map
and the mini dragon i will totaly sub to

Cheers johnbamford17 and that's great news guppyexpress

@Kenya, wow tht sounds kl, esp the bit aboot narcotic bombs n skin n mode changes, sounds lk a lot, mw its giving u probs, hope u get it working tho sounds sweet :D

i think i found the problem so you know how before you cook game mod how it says map what do you put there because i didnt put anything

so far it works well i just cant test it in the dev kit it takes too long to get in it to test. but on the animated model it works,the snail is scaled larger, and itdid not crash once whle uploading it

Hey johnbamford17, yeah they do sound cool, if he manages to resolve the issue i'd definitely give them a go, snail races would be a fun way to spend time ingame, i've recently been working hard on a project that has been nothing but headaches all the way, a pimped out mini dragon, tiny bit smaller than a pteranodon but pimped out with some nice features, narcotic bombs, skin changes, mode changes and more :D

Did you add new features to the snails ? Did you make any changes ? Was there the random runtime crash dev kit seems to have, that can actually lose and reroll saved data, or did you maybe change something else in the spawning, it's hard to know what to advise, looking at your fatal error "shootergame\private\primalstructureitemcontainer.cpp:284" I would myself assume it to either be an issue with a container in the map, maybe I had removed a mod that had modded storage while still having that item existing in my map, or likewise a dino could be a container, it has its inventory. Have you tried wiping the map or is it the map is fine without your snail mod running ? If that is the case is there an error with the dino inventory component ?

Unfortunately I don't know what the errors mean, does it run okay in the dev kit ? if so try upload a fresh version incase something got corrupted, if it doesnt work in the dev kit too, you might have to backtrack your steps. I did see a fairly decent thread on reddit for modding advice for ark, the guys there seemed quite helpful to those needing advice, they may know the errors better than me, do you know when the errors happened ?

Rideable snails sounds awesome.

I dunno if it'll be just a normal snail, or if it'll be fast, but when I think of snails I think immediately of

TURBO
https://youtu.be/F-L5bzwdpVI?t=54s

the idea of a snail going like a F1 Rcing car is just hillerious and so ironic lol

i know i did everything right i was able to use it once but they wouldnt spawn in (didnt have the cheat code)
but now it crashes

if you know the error message (what it means) tell me thanks and happy moding

yes all of thoughs are on and active it just crashes every time i try loading in to a server with it on if you want to try it and see if it crashes on yours its mega_snails

P.S - Rideable snails sounds cool, hopefully it's one of the things I mentioned and you get it sorted easy, good luck and happy modding !!

Hi guppyexpress. Does it work inside the devkit ? Do you have the primalgamedata, level and testmode all setup inside the root of the mod folder ? Do you have the world settings when you open the level in the root folder set to the mods primalgamedata file ? Any of those could affect it working in the livetesting.

quick question i made a mod for rideable snails but when i join in with the mod active it does not work so can you tell me how to add a dino mod to steam that works the mod is mega_snails

The ants' hunger doesn't lower yet for taming purposes. If you find them in the wild/spawn them in without a potion, you'll probably need to use DoTame or ForceTame if you want to own them.

what do the ants eat?
