ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_CraftingSkillPotion_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Fibers_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get higher tier items of what I'm crafting?
No. If you craft a ramshackle quality item, it will always give you a ramshackle item. The potion only increases your crafting skill to the max it can possibly be, which gives you a chance to increase the armor, damage, durability, etc. of your items.

Will you be bringing this mod to ARK: Survival Ascended?
Yes.
