It seems the crafting cost of the pliers didnt change, love the mod so far.
Finally the flamethrower is getting some love even though it lags my game out:D

Good catch! I had to redo the pliers because they broke and I forgot to set up the crafting requirements again. This was fixed in the latest update
Edit 4: Was able to grant engrams with the command "Admincheat GiveTekengramsTo <playerID> boots/helmet/legs/etc". So my issue is sort of resolved, the granted engrams are the ones from your mod by all appearances, so it would seem the issue lies in whatever code runs during boss defeat.

Edit 3: Rewrote bug report to make it easier to follow and provide details in a more coherent manner. Original is strike-thru below.

I run a cluster for my immediate family and some of our friends, 10-15 people online max. Its run in house, not on Nitrado or some other service provider. We have a server for Island, SE, Abberation, and Crystal Isles (These are the bosses I tested replicating the bug with).

Earlier the day of this report, a three person team killed Manticore Alpha on SE, Tek Engrams for Armor (except shield), and Saddles were not unlocked for participants. They did, however, get all the structures and buildings they should have.

I used my admin account to start the fight and kill Manticore Alpha via AdminCheat KillAOE Wil 10000, my admin account was a fresh character who I just applied GMBuff to meet the level requirement for starting the fight. I received engrams for all the structure and buildings Manticore Alpha should reward as well as the Tek Shield, but did not get Tapejara Tek saddle, Rex Tek Saddle, Tek Legs, or Tek Gloves engrams.

I transferred my admin character to our island server and repeated the experiment by killig Alpha Dragon, Methopithicus, and Broodmother. I got all the structure and building engrams I should have, but did not recieve the engrams for Tek armor, or any of the three tek saddles from the island bosses. I did not test with Rockwell, nor did I test Crystal Wyvern Queen, but can go and do it if you would like me to.

I then booted up a fresh dedicated server instance using default settings and ONLY this mod. Normally I run a small collection of eleven mods (CKF:Remastered, CKF:Sci-Fi, Cosplay Evolved, with the remainder being various Eco decoration mods added by request of one player or another, and your PVE rebalance mod.)

I repeated the actions stated above on the clean server, and did not receive the tek saddle or armor engrams, except for the shield. I then loaded up in singleplayer, again with only PVE re-balance active, and repeated the boss genocide. I once again, did not receive Tek Saddle or Armor Engrams.

Lastly, I atempted to unlock the engrams via command, of course the vannilla blueprint path didn't work since your mod changes the engrams, but I am not sure I was able to find the correct blueprint path. I used both this command:

cheat unlockengram "Blueprint' /Game/Content/Mods/2515366956/Armor/Tek/EngramEntry_TekHelmet_PvERebalance'"

and this one:

cheat unlockengram "Blueprint' /Game/Content/Mods/2515366956/Armor/Tek/Buff_TekArmor_Helmet_PvERebalance'"

neither of them did anything.

My players and I really like the tweaks you made to everything, and I have decided to leave the mod active and simply have my players exchange trophies with my admin account in return for having the engrams unlocked after the patch. If it is not an easy fix though, would it be possible for you to upload a version of the mod that does not touch the tek engrams? that way my players would be able to unlock them in their vanilla form until you are able to get it fixed.

Killed Manticore Alpha on SE, Tek Engrams for Armor (except shield), and Saddles were not unlocked.

Transfered to island and used admin commands to spawn portal and insta gib the bosses there as a test, also did not unlock the armor or saddles.

Edit: Tried using a command to unlock the engrams, but not sure if I got the mod's blueprint path right, it didn't work.

cheat unlockengram "Blueprint' /Game/Content/Mods/2515366956/Armor/Tek/EngramEntry_TekHelmet_PvERebalance'"

and

cheat unlockengram "Blueprint' /Game/Content/Mods/2515366956/Armor/Tek/Buff_TekArmor_Helmet_PvERebalance'"

Edit 2: Loaded Singleplayer and a new dedicated server, both fresh maps, fresh characters, only this mod active. GFI the artifacts, tributes, started alpha of broodmother, megapithicus, and dragon. killaoe wil 1000000. Got every tekgram except the ones changed by this mod.

Really like all the other changes and tweaks you did, and will continue to use the mod even without the ability to unlock the tek armor/saddles, but it would be very appreciated if you could figure out what's blocking them from being awarded or add a version that doesn't touch those engrams so I could still have players able to use them on my cluster.

Hello, I am working on a fix for this and it will hopefully be updated sometime tonight.
Hate to be a bother, but while the update you pushed seems to have fixed scorched and island bosses, Rockwell is now not giving Rock Drake Saddle lol.

I tested this on both my cluster, a fresh dedicated server, and in single player. Both with all eleven mods my cluster uses, and as the only mod, just like I tested the last bug.

No worries! I appreciate bug reports, especially regarding the tek tier. My server cluster hasn't actually got to bosses yet so I had no idea that the engram remaps didn't work like the others. I am trying a different method of changing loot. Unfortunately what is frustrating about this is that it works perfectly in the dev kit, and not after upload. I am going to make a test version of the mod so I don't spam everybody with mod downloads going forward lol
Found another one; Tek armor is unequipable, even if you do have the engram unlocked.

I'm going to have to pull the mod from my cluster until that gets fixed which is a shame, we all love the Grenade Belt/Power Glove/actually viable flamethrowers. The PVE durability is really good too.

Unfortunately, with two out of three of the tribes having finished Rockwell, we are now adding Extinction as a map, and all three tribes have agreed that being able to use Tek Armor for titan fights/OSDs is better than having the other changes.

I'll personally be keeping an eye on the mod's updates and looking to re-add it once the various issues get resolved. Cheers and good luck codesmith!

Hey there: So the pliers are repairable and do not become removed from the inventory, The engrams for Poison, Standard, and possibly other Grenades that this mod touched, their engrams aren't showing up which doesn't allow for crafting

If you just installed the mod did you rebuild your smithy? It has to be rebuilt to acquire the new engrams

Throwing Spears and Metal Spears now duplicates them, leaving one in your inventory and one on the ground able to be picked up. It will yield the same quality and durability damage when picked up.

I was not able to recreate this bug unless I had cheats on. Maybe the mod needs reinstalled?

Not sure, I was on a server. I'll try again though
