Hi, seems something on patch 310.27 or 310.36 broke Magic box for me, took a break inbetween. The moment I try to place them down it instant crash me, this happens on all maps.

Edit, it just got worse after reboot I just realize the boxes I tried to place down are gone, so the crash rollback to previus saves before placement but removes the box from inventory. RIP those were my boss prep and tame and kibble box all gone, not sure how to rollback save on this one.

Edit2: Did some more testing after struggle to rollback save, it would seem the lost box are caused by moving them from Transmitter such as obelisk that use a seperate save file, therfore game saves me removing them but not a save where I hold them.

Furthermore any new spawn in or built boxes can be placed in world with no problem and picked up, id say its even better than pre patch cause ther was a slight hickup on placing before, no more. ANY boxes before patch wether Transmitter or from ingame storage try to place down will crash, can I somehow send crashlogg without bloating to much text here?

The magic box seems to randomly kill cryopods. It has happened to me (with 28 fully leveled boss rexes inside LOL! -- ouch) and one of my players (empty pods).

I will be doing testing to see if I can find a common reason (full box, map transfer, etc.)

I will be working a dev cycle on this mod shortly and will be looking into these things.

It is possible the issues that have been experienced are similar in nature to the ones that were happening with my other mod Revive My Dino. I will be implementing those same fixes in this mod too.

Do you have a clue as to the trigger that causes them to die so I can test on my server? My players already know to not put pods in the boxes and we are a small community.

Is it all vanilla stuff? Modded things usually are where these types of issues pop up most.

For vanilla cryopods it is possibly the same old same old issues with them that can just happen regardless of this mod for some creatures and some maps. i.e. wyverns had issues iirc sometime back, or with modded creatures depending on how they have status components setup etc.

The issues I was referring to have nothing specifically to do with podded dinos, more for certain situations with item data itself being wonky and needing some cajoling to prevent the game from crashing when it attempts to load the item from its data. And this was related to the fact that Revive My Dino has custom pods that include dino inventories. Kind of similar to how this mod keeps the structure's inventory in the item.

Vanilla cryopods. Empty or with dinos in them. Not specific to having tames inside. Vanilla tames. We have no dino altering mods at all.

I had a couple of other pods in other boxes that were just fine. Stayed in the magic box much longer than the ones that died.

Oh their charge runs out..
Server playing catch-up when the item is re-hydrated probably..
Thanks for letting me know. Kind of surprised no one has mentioned this before.

It's random so people may not notice or they think it's the same bug that killed pods in Cryofridges. I only noticed because it happened to 2 of us within days on a server that only has about 5 active players. LOL!

I think we both had magic boxes completely full of pods and we transferred between maps. Individual pods in other boxes (not full) stayed OK for weeks.

So, yesterday I filled a box completely with pods then opened and closed it a few times. No problem. So, I transferred to another map. Still OK. I've left it in storage on the other map and will grab it later today to check it then transfer back and check again.

I haven't been able to duplicate the bug. I have a few pods in this box that only have a couple of days charge left so I'll leave them until those die and see if that causes the longer ones to also die.

And, as soon as I typed that out I opened a different box and the 6 empty pods that were in there are all dead, zero charge. They all had 28+ days of charge. So, it appears to be randomly triggered and it's just not safe to store cryopods in Magic Boxes.

i wanted to add to this. i'm having it happen from boxes i crafted. i'm playing singleplayer on Ragnarok. i haven't ever used a transmitter or anything. i was able to place the boxes when i crafted them to put stuff in them. i can no longer place the boxes, the game crashes hard. at least i haven't lost my boxes. i just literally can't do anything with the resources i have in the boxes till this is fixes. and i mean like 2 magic boxes full of metal i can't use because i can't place the boxes any more.

If someone places a fish basket inside the magic box it crashes the server. Can this be fixed?

Single player: I can't craft the boxes anymore, no engram in my inventory (I respawned the character, there was magic box engram before then, but "not allowed" was displayed when I tried to craft one) or for new Pandora one in either regular or S+ replicator. When I place existing ones, I can't open them nor pick them up and only radial menu options "preferences" and "demolish" are available.

Same.
Since last update, I can learn engram, but cant make magic and pandora box.
Already tested Delete and Reinstall mod, but still cant do that.
Both Single and Multi server...

i forgot to try fish baskets again
and i forgot to test everything again in SP game. i did a while back- this revamp has been months in the making due to lot of distractions, life, etc.
i've already fixed a couple SP related issues i just noticed this morning in the kit. need to check these engram claims though myself. i am not finding any problems with that so far.

Dedi Svr only issue I noticed is the damn setting for turning off the Blop sound does not work.
