Change crafting cost
IMPORTANT: There is currently a known bug for this. It works fine and changes the crafting costs, however, when you demolish a structure, 50% of the ORIGINAL cost is given back. Keep this in mind, not only for this mod, but for all modded and vanilla items. WC devs are aware of it and will hopefully patch it in the near future.


There is a setting you can apply to your Game.ini file that overrides crafting costs called "ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts".

If you are running a server your Game.ini is located in one of these two locations, depending on which OS you are running the server on:
ShooterGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini

I've posted the code you need on pastebin. This version makes everything cost the equivalent of stone. This list have been made by the ARK RP community over at RPfirst[rpfirst.com].

Click here to open it[pastebin.com].

Copy the content and paste it at the end of the section called [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] in your Game.ini file.

There is a work around for this known issue. Anything altered within the "ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts" will work if you make/spawn a BP in game. So for every item you need to have it's BP and craft that item from the BP, not from the learned engram. Hope this helps. :)

Hello,
I tried using the script you put up there but I didn't notice any crafting costs changing, could you tell if I missplaced it?

@Meat Bycicle, looks like it is in the correct file. Did you pick up and place your masonry table after changing it? You might have to do that to get it to register, 'cause ARK.. :-)

I think Ark still as the craftingoverridecost bug meaning U need to die and respawn then the new craftingcosts are applied. I think there is some mod that makes it work, so U dont have to respawn, nvr tested it tho.

But what are the crafting costs?, clicked on the link expecting to get an idea of how cheap/expensive they are to make.. i know there would be a fair few structures to list but even just the wall cost would help, just want to know how OP it would be in a schorched PVP server.

They are comparable to metal only they cost raw metal not forged ingots, 10 less metal and about 20 extra stone per wall for example :)

Does changing the setting for "ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts" mean that I would be changing the cost of ALL crafting recipes in the game? Actually... I have checked both the Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini and do not see the setting anywhere?

@roeder3

"ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts" is a vanilla wilcard INI setting, You have to add it manually into the INI file in order to enable it. You can find more information along with an example on how to utlilise the setting here :)

You can also use the pre made version for this mod linked in the main article of this thread. The pre made script gives a 50% crafting cost reduction on all mod items, but you can copy the script and then set each items crafting cost to your needs by editing it as you wish. I would also recommend using a tiny free piece of software called notepad++ rather than regular notepad when making INI changes. :)

Ok... I just looked at your script and I can see the script is only modifying the cost of crafting items for "your mod". That was my main concern... I was thinking that this would reduce the cost of ALL crafted items in the game. Thanks for the quick reply.

Hello! I have this mod and I love it dearly, however I am having trouble adding the reduced cost to my server. I tried to put the code in the pastebin to the game.ini under the server management window where I host my server: https://gyazo.com/6483e49be2c8bbcb21f582eb200d06a6 However it did not change anything. Then I tried to do it in my own person game.ini on my computer and it still didnt change anything. Any help?

You need to paste it into the "Game.Ini" on the server. Not "GameUserSettings.Ini" :)

"ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts" is a vanilla wilcard INI setting, You have to add it manually into the INI file in order to enable it. You can find more information along with an example on how to utlilise the setting here :)

With there being so many different proprietary dashboard managers for rented servers I can not offer you any advice on how to find the Game.INI for your specific case. Your best option is to check any furoms for your server host or contact them with a ticket request about locating the Game.INI file.
