Clean and Stackable Mod

This Mod adds in a new Collection System for Beetles and Snails of Ark.
This Collection System is a replacement Mod for my BA Better Beetles Mod

MOD ID:
1404661448


Note: NO REMAP'S OF ANY BEETLE'S OR SNAIL'S!

What comes in this mod:

  • BA Collection System Bin


Mode Note's
Ark Beetles will collect Poop from the Collection System.
They will Only pull one poop at a time and one size at a time till that size is =0 then it will move to the next size in the system.
Starting with the smallest poop and thru to the large poop.
Beetles will only fill to 80% of their current weight. (so if you keep leveling up the weight to them they will add more poop)
Once they are full they will stop pulling till they Craft Oil and Fertilizer.
BA Collection System will pull the fertilizer and Oil from all tamed Ark Beetles.
BA Collection System will push/send Fertilizer one at a time to any crop plots in their radius range until 4 are in each crop plot.
At the point the crop plots all have 4 fertilizers in each then will stop sending the fertilizer.

BA Collection System will pull the Paste and Org Polymer from all tamed Ark Snails.
BA Collection System will pickup snail paste that is dropped by the tamed Snails.

The system Collector pulls any Poop dropped by any Dino in the radius range
The Collection Bin also has settings in the pie menu to set all Beetles and Snails in radius range to wandering enabled or disabled.
You can also set the auto-pulling for poop to ON or OFF, and set Paste, Org Polymer, Fertilizer, and Oil Pulling to ON or OFF.
The system will also tell you if there are No Beetles or Snails in the radius range.

The Collection System has a Sync System button and it will set any Beetle and or Snails to Wandering Disabled within the radius range.
This is so if you add new Snails or Beetles to your pens.
You can just click Sync System than just click enable wandering on both again.
Then just ReEnable all pulling for the Snails and Beetles.

On a restart, the collection system will check for wandering beetles then set all setting to what was set before the restart of a server.

I will still be adding a INI setting so that people can set it their selves and the default will be 1000 slots.

I've also missed these 2 replies. Been logged in to another steam account I use for adminning my Ark cluster. Oops.

@3vilPcDiva --- it's not a BA collection system bug, just lack of a setting to limit slot sizes. Nothing to be debugged here. The bug is in ark. If you put more than 1250 stacks in an inventory then attempting to open that inventory will disconnect you. They seem to like the number 1250 because if you learn more than 1250 Engrams you will get disconnected if you try to transfer between maps. The bugginess is all WildCard.

Most other MODs I run that put stuff into inventories have .ini settings to limit the number of items. Stuff gets laggy at 1000 items and the disconnect starts at 1250.

@ 3vilPcDiva, @ PhorceOne Sorry I did not see your comments, and I will look in to this matter asap.

I've encounterd the same bug as PhorceOne, if you're willing to provide a link to the source I'll take a look and see if I can debug it.

Need to add a way to set the number of inventory slots. There is a currently active Ark bug that causes players to get disconnected if they try to open a container with too many inventory items. The system needs to stop collecting when it reaches around 1000 items in inventory. Perhaps create companion boxes without the pulling code it can push into if they are in radius.

Do you plan to add a trilobite pull?
Blackwolf  [author] 16 Feb, 2019 @ 4:47am 
@Crown Max for both Push and Pull Radius is 50000.

@Blackwolf
Please tell me what is the maximum radius I can install?
DungPullingRadius=?
PushingRadius=?
