Super Structures is now available for ASA!
Updated: 11/25/2023

Now Available! Mod Link: Super Structures Ascended[www.curseforge.com]

Ark: Survival Ascended has been out for a few days now and I've had several people asking me about whether I'll be bringing this mod to ASA.

I will be! Orionsun (the original creator of S+) has stated for the moment he doesn't have plans to do S+ again and so I feel that's even more reason to get this mod loaded over to ASA.

Updated Release Schedule - 11/5/2023
Alright, things are going well and I anticipate the first release being within the next 2 weeks, but I'll just say "November" to give myself wiggle room.

Here is the phased release schedule (VERY much me guessing on dates here, take very loosely). I anticipate having a majority of everything I had before, but you'll find out as things come out what things may get pulled or revised.

Release 1 - Pull System - November
Release 2 - Tools (some won't release initially like transparency cycler, model selector, etc) - November to December
Release 3 - QoL Structures - batch 1 - December to January
Release 4 - QoL Structures - batch 2 - January to February
Release 5 - Core Building Structures - February to March

Structures or Tools that don't exist in SS but do in S+ will be evaluated after this release schedule is completed for possible inclusion.

At each stage I will be evaluating and might break down any of these releases into smaller batches if its needed. Dates are subject to change and just a guess, could be later or sooner than suggested.

When can I expect this to be available?
Honestly, no idea. I am working on it but its A LOT of work. The new dev kit offers tools to import but they have changed a ton of underlying things so quite a bit is broken in the mod and will need re-done AND re-thought. I'll have to basically start over with many of the building structures. How long that takes me is tough to say. I'm very hesitant at this stage to throw out any dates right now.

Will everything from this mod be ported over?
Eventually, someday. But right off the bat, no. Part of that is because some structures will likely make no sense to exist. There is no Gacha so why would there be a Gacha Gavager or Crystal Cracker, etc. These structures can be re-introduced when Extinction Content is available. Doesn't seem like "Internal Pipes & Wires" will also be needed either as Power/Water in the game is now wireless by default.

What will be different?
Kind of tough to say. My main goal will be bringing everything over as-is and then fixing everything. But, I can say you can expect some updates to all UI in the mod, it needs to match the new UI in ASA.

I will be evaluating almost every structure in the mod and some things will certainly get tweaks before release. This is the best time for me to make changes as nothing is live and so I can make the most changes to internal workings now before release.

I WILL be updating the mod name internally in the files, including renaming "homestead" assets. There is no reason not to fix the names and prevent the whole "reverts to modded version" thing on restart.

Will you be making this cross-platform or PC only?
I haven't fully committed yet on this. On one hand, its a really cool idea to be available on console and give console players access, on the other.... CurseForge has more stringent approval process for updating/getting in to the space. It would make testing and development more complicated and the amount of support requests will increase as well. So that's a lot of overhead to add. This is something I'm weighing right now.

What about ASE? Are you done updating the mod there?
I never like to give out absolutes. I might change my mind, anything could happen! But for now, I am putting the mod into Maintence Mode for ASE. I will only be issuing bug fixes for ASE for now.

For the latest updates, getting real-time mod patch note notices, and to chat with me, join the discord[discord.gg]!

Thats all for now!

Ark still has pipes, so your friend is free to lay them out just as he used to do! Even if it's not needed. Who are we to get in the way of someone else's fun?

Even if it only has the pull system feature, I think it's quite good because Ascended's building system is really well done. maybe tools can added

Oh another OCD tic I had was lining dinos up.. I had HUNDREDS literly. And each had exact spot and way to sit. And if I or my daughter accidentally whistled in side base or near... Well there went my next few days of play time with the "pick up sticks" game of relining every single one back up properly. I would try to just play but every time I saw them out of place it would bug me to no end lol

I agree with you, or, sorry, "with your friends".
I hated the way ark evolved goes to future, tek, aberration this sh1111t stuffs. I like much more like a little realistic, and not have tek, robots and all.
So, of course wireless water? Who in the hell invented this? And who accept this?
Lol totally opositte of a primitive game and survival.
Btw i know ark team are dumb enough to make those terrible choices, so, yeah.
Bring back the pipes and a way to us disable this fuk1ng wireless system.
The same for power. Where r the power cables?
