Description
Rae's Midwife

This mod introduces the Midwife, a character who "delivers" baby creatures and keeps them in Babypods in her inventory. This is designed to be the counterpart of the S+/SS Hatchery for dinos that use gestation.

Babypods last 24 hours on default settings, after which the baby will die if not imprinted.

Babypods can be thrown like Cryopods to imprint the baby. They are then consumed upon use.

The Midwife does not require fuel to activate, but she uses one pair of Sterile Scissors for each baby she delivers.

Sterile Scissors are crafted by combining a pair of Vanilla or Non-Sterile Scissors with Soap.

For each pair of Sterile Scissors that are used, a pair of Non-Sterile Scissors is returned to the Midwife's inventory.

Availability

Both the Midwife and Sterile Scissors engrams are available at level 41. They both cost zero points to learn, but to learn the Sterile Scissors, you must know the original Scissors engram.

Once you have learned the engram, the Midwife can be crafted from your personal inventory. To craft her, you will need 10 of each kibble from Basic to Exceptional.

Configuration Settings

The following settings can be added to the GameUserSettings.ini

[RaesMidwife]
MidwifeRangeInFoundations=10
BabypodLifetimeInMinutes=1440

Latest Changes

10th December 2021

- Removed the option to configure the number of midwife slots because I couldn't make it work correctly;
- Increased the number of slots to 100.

13th January 2022

- You can now store soap in the Midwife's inventory;
- You can no longer use the sterile or non-sterile scissors to cut your hair.

26th January 2022

- Had a chat with the midwife and if you use a modded mutator to make Reapers breed, she agreed to pick up the babies.

Acknowledgement

I want to say thanks to Rae for the idea of the mod and for doing the Midwife's voice over.

Also thanks to Joehelp, Kos, Quellcrest and HexenLord from Ark Modding discord group for all the help with my questions.

Finally, thanks a lot to OrionSun for making the source code of S+ publicly available. Much of this mod code uses bits and pieces from S+.

Hey Murden! Sent a friend request so we can chat -

This seems to be the only MOD for live births and seems to have fallen the the wayside? Are you aiming to update this for Ascended?

I am one of the leaders of a community called TCI - The Crimson Isle - and we are looking for some MODS to be either updated or made. We have MOD teams for POT and are looking for one for ARK Ascended. Shoot me a DM :)

Is this mod coming to Ascended. I miss this alot as it allows me not to be present for each mammal birth.

Yes, any creature that does not gestate is not picked up by default, and I would have to add the exception manually like I did with the reaper. I will add Griffins as soon as I have a chance.

We have recently implemented the mod in our ARKSGARD cluster . everything seems to be working fine , that it claims Reaper babies is great . But we have already received several reports about it not claiming Grifo babies . we don't know if they are not included . We use the Classic Flyers mod that assigns a gender to them.
thanks for your work

Hi Ootred, yes, she should pick up achatinas. She picks up mine all the time. To be honest, I'm not planning to implement the option to change the outfit, but if I'm not mistaken, I think you can change the color of her clothes. I don't remember, though, I may be wrong.
Ootred 20 Feb, 2022 @ 11:57am 
This is a fantastic idea! Great voice over for the reminders. Questions: Do achatina count as live birth? Mine were not picked up, however, they were podded for a bit first. Any plans to allow to change her outfit?

After testing on the local host I confirm that with the SS Mutator it works perfectly.
We will include it in the cluster in a test map for the last test. I will inform you about it.
thanks a million to the players of our ARKSGARD community.
will be very happy

So, I changed the logic so that the midwife should pick up baby reapers, but I couldn't test it because I don't yet have a mutator or a reaper. Can you test it for me when you have a chance?
XSan75X 26 Jan, 2022 @ 7:42am 
Perfect man, thank you very much for your help and effort, I hope you can get it, I hope to hear from you.
Murden  [author] 25 Jan, 2022 @ 12:48pm 
Hi XSan75X, I didn't know you could use the mutator to breed reapers. I will see if I can make the midwife pick them up.
