Custom Harvesting

If you enjoy this mod, please like and favourite.



Did you ever want to find Assault Rifles in the trees? Maybe just something more reasonable, like Black Pearls in oysters or Aberration gems in crystals.

Remaps resource nodes with a customizable version.

The main purpose of this mod is to allow any resources(my intentions were DLC resources) to be harvested on the island, without adding in specific resource nodes.

Compatible with stack mods.

How does it work? You add any item to any harvesting component. ie: Sand and Salt from rocks, Black Pearls from oysters, etc. These resources are in addition to the resources normally generated.

• Fully configurable via ini settings.
• Allows any item to be harvestable from almost any resource node at almost any rate with an optional percent chance of occurring.

Add ini configs to GameUserSettings.ini with the following format:

[CustomHarvesting]
Crystal=10.0,/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl.PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl

This will result in Crystal veins giving 10x as many Black Pearls as you get Crystal. If you mined 50 crystal, you'd also get 500 Black Pearls.

[CustomHarvesting]
Obsidian=0,0.01,/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Element.PrimalItemResource_Element

You'll notice the multiplier in this example is 0. Well, that would be pointless, so whenever the multiplier may result in a partial number, it's interpreted as 1. You can't get half an item.
In this example, when mining Obsidian you have a 1% chance to receive 1 Element.

[CustomHarvesting]
Bushes=2.0,/Game/Mods/BetterBloodbags/PrimalItemConsumable_BloodPack_BetterBloodbags.PrimalItemConsumable_BloodPack_BetterBloodbags,0.5,/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl.PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl

This will result in bushes giving you 2x as many Better Blood Bags, a mod item, as you get berries and half as many Black Pearls. If you picked 100 berries, you'd also get 200 Blood Bags and 50 Black Pearls.

Optional Config Format:
You can add a second argument, in decimal form, representing the percent chance for the additional resources to be harvested. 0.25 = 25%, 0.80 = 80%, etc.

[CustomHarvesting]
Crystal=10.0,0.25,/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl.PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl

This will result in Crystal veins giving 10x as many Black Pearls as you get Crystal, but you will only get them 25% of the time you mine Crystal veins.

• The multiplier isn't perfect. Test settings before deploying to a server.
• There is a natural variance in place when harvesting to make the numbers seem more natural. As such, the harvested values won't be exactly as expected.

The order of parameters matters.

component=multiplier,percent_chance_to_occur,item_to_harvest

If you do it in any other order, I'm sure bad things will happen.
