Durability Regen

==What does this mod do?==
This mod adds a new station, the Tek Durability Regenerator, which can regenerate the durability of any item you put in its inventory. This mod is a deep meta changer, it aims at fixing a core gameplay problem while still maintaining a certain balance. This mod is clean and stackable, and it comes with various ini settings.

==Why this mod?==
Durability, a dated gameplay mechanic, a repetitive grindfest that most AAA games have dropped nowaways. In ARK you can craft items of various quality and both the crafting AND REPAIR cost will increase exponentially. But why use a tek or ascended weapon that costs an arm to repair when your dinos can do as much damage for free? Ultimately the poor implementation of the durability mechanics dampens the variety of the gameplay and forces the players to stick to less grindy strategies. Likewise many players prefer lower tiers of armor over ascended, because they know any damage on ascended gear will cost an arm to repair. What's the point of higher quality tier if players are too scared to use them? Tired yet of repairing your Oxygen Tank, Gas Mask or Hazard Suit?

With this mod you can finally play ARK the way it should be played, without worrying about the repair cost. You no longer have to warehouse tons of duplicate replacement of the same gear, you can stick to your best gear. This mod does not completely scrap the durability mechanics and maintains a certain balance. Your items can still break so you still have to be careful with your gear.

==How to use?==
Craft a Tek Durability Regenerator (Level 100 Engram, costs 0 point)
Put your used items in the Tek Durability Regenerator to slowly regenerate their durability.
Regen rate can be set in the server configuration.
Broken items won't be repaired, although this can be changed in the server configuration.

The Tek Durability Regenerator is powered by Element Dust.
The Tek Durability Regenerator is crafted in the player inventory with resources harvested from Tek dinos corpses (Element Dust, Scrap Metal, Electronics, Oil)

Summon Code: admincheat gfi tekfixer 1 0 0

@Baranorn No idea. Yours is the first case this is happening.
Baranorn 6 Jul @ 5:33pm 
@izanagi So my buddy copied the ini default settings you posted above in the description. Including the Header. We just want to change it to repair broken items, but like i said, it just removes the entire section for your mod from the ini on restart. We're using a Nintrado server. Any suggestions? Its just your mod we're having trouble with
Izanagi  [author] 6 Jul @ 5:04pm 
@Baranorn Nop. This is probably a problem with the server, as this mod doesn't have stuff that change ini settings, all it does is read the ini now.
Baranorn 6 Jul @ 11:55am 
So we have this on our server but for whatever reason the INI setting keep vanishing every time we start the server so we cant make any changes to the settings.

Is there anything we can do here?

@꧁༒☬ GΞX ☬༒꧂ You must have its Engram learned. Also, check if any other mod is not conflicting with it.

The only thing I can do with this mod is to pick up the regenerator. Cannot access its inventory.
Am I missing something?

@Da_Comanda Just like is said, you can grind even equipment with grind block, like a few you get from Gen 1 and Gen 2 Hex Shop.
