Bug Reports
Please post bug reports to my discord, I do not plan on checking this steam page very often. Managing discord is much easier and I'd like to be as efficient with my time as possible.

KNOWN ISSUES:

- This mod will not work alongside other S+ variants that have kept the same BP names or the original S+ mod.
The Breeders Delight mod is a partial fork of S+ and will not work with this mod.

- Walls snapped to walls will not be level with walls snapped to ceilings.

- You need to select an item in a remote inventory before you can open the pull resource menu (this is due to a bug with the ARK dev kit)

- Homestead structures are converted to their SS counterpart when the server restarts. All SS servers should set AllowIntegratedSPlusStructures=False in their config. This doesn't prevent conversion, it disables the vanilla counterparts, its recommended because of the conversion. Homestead structures are specific structures incorporated into the base game by WildCard in 2019. Includes Dedicated Storage / Large Walls, etc... google for a list

- Stacks for Humans causes problems with this mod and the autocrafter (things not showing up properly)

- The vanilla forcefield can be placed too close to the SS Tek Shield Generator / Shield Post (recommended to disable vanilla forcefield)

COMMON ISSUES

1.) ALL YOUR STRUCTURES DISAPPEARED - Your update was not successful. This is NOT an issue with this mod, its an issue with the mod update system. (Your server/single player game will have numerous backup files for you to restore to after you correctly update the mod) Typically, this occurs when you have not let your installation finish. You might see a "Installing Super Structures..." in the bottom right hand corner for Single Player. If you start the game before it finishes, this will happen. The same goes for your server.

2.) YOU CAN'T PLACE STRUCTURES - there is an issue with a mod that is being loaded before SS. SS does NOT require any specific load order but if a mod that is loaded before it, updates incorrectly it can cause issues for mods that load after it. Move SS up your load order to determine which mod is causing the issue.

3.) YOU CAN'T LEARN AN ENGRAM - you use a mod that remaps the vanilla item (ie EC), you need to remove the engram prerequisites by adding an engram override to your game.ini file.

4.) CAN'T PLACE STRUCTURE/OBSTRUCTED - no collision was removed from the mod. You can enable it by editing your game.ini(server) or simply checking the option on load singleplayer game menu(left side, very bottom). See this discussion for more info.

5.) THE MOD ISN'T LOADING - delete it from your server and re-install it. This will fix so many issues its ridiculous. Sometimes the mod files get messed up after ARK updates or other mod updates and the quickest way to fix these is to simply delete the files and re-install them. The best way to do this on a server is to FTP in and manually delete the mod folder and .mod file and then copy the new mod files over from a successfully updated singleplayer game. Relying on auto updaters or host installers can be problematic and should only be used by the nearly computer illiterate (not an insult to those who are but seriously its 2021).

6.) A CONFIG SETTING ISN'T WORKING - There are a variety of reasons why your config setting isn't working. Here are 3 common reasons:

1. You didn't edit the correct file on your server or single player. *If its Single Player*: ("Your Drive/Steam/steamapps/common/ARK/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/" and then "WindowsNoEditor" for non-dedicated, "WindowsServer" for Dedicated sessions)
2. You updated the file while your server/ASM was still open and the setting wasn't saved correctly.
3. You didn't read the migration guide and failed to update the header to [SuperStructures] from [StructuresPlus] or failed to update the individual INI options that were changed.

7.) YOU HAVE A NITRADO SERVER & EXPERIENCE A CRASH - If you do not see a ton of other posts about crashes, then you are crashing because they have cached a corrupted copy of the mod and are distributing that to you. You will have to manually copy the mod files from your local computer to your server.
