Hi since today i have a bug (i didnt had it yesterday)
But the bug is simple really!:
I cannot access the inventory of any improved incubators.. even the empty ones.. i can set a lock/unlock add a code etc but when i push e or f or hold e and access inventory it doesn’t do it..

This is due to the recent update that i pushed out, for incubator's prior to this update you'll need to use the pick up option or make new incubators, if there are any eggs inside it will still drop a bag.

Destroy all eggs doesn't work, and the automatic temp control didn't work at first when enabling but did after disabling/re-enabling.

Automatic temp control is based on the most quantity of same type of eggs currently inside the incubator, if you place eggs from a different dino after already enabling it then it will need to be disabled and then re-enabled again for it to pull up the temperature it needs for new eggs, as for the destroy all eggs not working can you tell me exactly what you did at the time and if it still isn't working? game mode/map?

Oh does the automatic temp work on a per "batch" basis? So I would want it off at first, then place eggs and enable? I used all Argentavis eggs to test and I initially had it enabled before I placed the eggs in so maybe that's why it didn't work at first.

For the destroy all eggs, I placed the new incubator (snaps work great btw), had turned on the automatic temp control and placed 10 eggs from the same dino. Exited the inventory to look at the egg stats, and went back into the inventory and clicked on destroy all eggs. The sound of all the eggs cracking happened but the eggs didn't destroy. For more context this is on The Island, on a dedicated self-hosted PvP server. I haven't tried again since restarting the server this morning so maybe that helped it.

The eggs can be placed inside at any time, you just have to make sure you disable/re-enable it afterwards so that the incubator can update itself for the temperate it needs for new eggs.

Not sure what's going on with the destroy all eggs not working though, i use my incubator almost every day on my servers and haven't encountered that issue yet perhaps it was an inventory bug of some sort, it does sound like it was attempting to remove the eggs but something was stopping it from being able to but if it happens again let me know and remember what you did at the time so that i can try and reproduce it.

Yeah I realize how the auto temp works now, that's my mistake, thanks for talking me through it! :P

And if it helps for more context I also had other mods: Dino Patrol, eco's Trees/Garden/Terrariums, Dino Mindwipe, Auto Run, Builder's Improvements; and Companion installed on 678.37 when I tried. I've even replaced the incubators. Maybe there's a bug when trying to use the "transfer all" button? I actually haven't tried just manually drag/dropping the eggs over or using T to transfer 1 by 1. It also didn't work after that server restart. Ah well, if it ends up randomly working in the future I'll stop by and try to post about it. Thanks for your time so far, awesome mod still, the crack all eggs was the main reason I downloaded this but the snaps took me by surprise and I no longer get accidentally stuck behind my incubators (that are against a wall) when I dismount a tame too close bhaha

Hmm i have no clue honestly, on my server i have 48 mods installed and have not had this issue so all i can suggest is either try changing the mod loading order or make a save backup and remove the mods one by one until you find the culprit, also i just pushed an update out so the automatic temperature control won't be an issue anymore you can just enable it and it will update itself automatically.

Unfortunately this is an issue on steams end and there's nothing i can really do about it, you'll just have to remove the mod and then subscribe again when this happens.

You can try browsing to your mods folder and deleting the mod entirely from there and then try re-subscribing to the mod again afterwards, delete the folder 2559520609 and file 2559520609.mod from \Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Mods
