SS Tek Transmitter slot counts
My solo game SS Tek Transmitter has limits of 50 items and 20 creatures. The server I rent has unlimited items, I don't remember the number of creatures. This tells me there is a difference, somewhere.
I compared both .ini files on both server and local PC and see no entries for the SS Tek Transmitter slot count. I cannot find any reference to increasing the slotcount in these forums or via Google searches.
I tried tektransmitterslotcount=1000 with no change. I tried itemcollectorslotcount=1000 and that worked.
How do I increase the SS Tek Transmitter item and creature count?

Not sure where you pulled "tektransmitterslotcount" from as it is not listed in the pinned discussions.

The tek transmitter is literally just an obelisk. Thus the settings you're after are from the vanilla game. I doubt your rented server is actually unlimited, the game has limits on pretty much everything.

According to the wiki page:

Okay, thank you I thought it would be a SS option.

The tektransmitterslotcount was a shot in the dark in case it worked as an unlisted/undocumented option, syntax along the same pattern as other items.

The rented server shows no specific limit for items just the dash, same used to express no timeout limit on creatures. If there is a limit, it is not expressed and I have not reached it yet.

I was searching along the lines of 'transmitter' and did not see the setting you mention. Thank you for listing those, much appreciated.

Yeh some of the things in the game itself are referred to by the devs slightly differently... Like they make sense in hindsight.

I set them both =100 and that worked.

Thank you again.
