Tek Unlocks
Killing engraged shiny dinos no longer unlocks any engrams. My settings are at the bottom of this message. I was able to unlock a few last week, but it has suddenly stopped unlocking. My server is basically a match in terms of mods and settings as Kingdaddydmacs xcore2 server.

How many have you already unlocked?

From the config disscussion:
UnlockTekOnKill
Unlock Tekgrams when killing a wild Shiny Dino. Engrams are unlocked in a progression order, first unlocking Engrams typically rewarded by "Gamma" bosses, moving on to Beta and Alpha. Alpha can only be unlocked by killing Enraged Dinos.

Are all Gamma, Beta already unlocked? Alpha will only unlock with Enraged variants. And I guess Tek-Engrams which are not associated with bosses won't unlock?

Well I went right for enraged. Or alpha…which I believe I’ve done before. And like boss fights doing alpha unlocks beta and gamma inherently…..does it not?

I’d have to go through what was and isn’t unlocked. I’ve certainly killed plenty of other shinys and nothing else has unlocked. Shield and transmitter never got unlocked. Which was my main problem.

Hmm... Just checked and both Transmitter and Forcefield have unlocked for me

How did you get any of this settings to work? I already tried to change them on my nitrado server several times and it wont take any of my custom settings. I want to try the same settings youre using. Any suggestions? :(

sorry, I don't check this messages much. I believe I finally got them to unlock by increasing the teknumunlock and alpha unlock to 50 or something. so you kill one and they all unlock. kind of defeats the purpose, but the owner doesn't seem to have a response.
