Description
THIS MOD WILL NOT BE RECEIVING ANY UPDATES FOR ANY REASON. I HAVEN'T PLAYED THIS IN YEARS AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF DOING SO. ENJOY!



MOD ID - 639841665
--------------------------------
Better snaps, More sizes, More angles, Bend's Tees's and Crosses without intersection piece, solar power and a real sprinkler head for your crops.


BACKGROUND
--------------------------------
Initial Launch 3-30-16

(3-15-16) I got tired of never being able to do what needed to be done with the vanilla water pipe and electrical cable system so about three weeks ago I downloaded the Ark Development Kit and started looking at tutorials as I dove into this engine for the first time. With that in mind, please keep an eye out for any bugs or issues with the mod and let me know.

WHAT WAS CHANGED
--------------------------------
Created a new set of PNC Metal and Stone water pipes and structures.

Created a new set of PNC Power Cables and structures.

Intersection pieces not needed because bends, tees and crosses can be made from the pipes themselves.

PNC Pipes and Cables have many new directional options including 90 and 45 degree connections.

Horizontals more closely match the length of a wall.

Verticals more closely match the height of a wall.

Inclines more closely match the length and slope of a roof.

Added half and quarter length pieces for horizontal, vertical and incline pipes and cables with adjusted craft resource needs.

Improved the snap points on all of the pieces.

Improved the piece names so that you can see the important parts in the tips.

Improved descriptions.

Corrected the texture on the vertical metal water pipe.

Centered the floating text HUD on the Metal and stone intakes.

Increased the storage capacity of the reservoirs.

Removed the blue flickering light intensity on the power outlet.

Allowed the reservoirs to be placed on anything.

Allowed pipes to connect "from" the reservoir so it could be the start point of a network.

All pieces can be used on a raft or saddle platform (for platforms the intake will likely be too far from the water so you will likely need to use the PNC Reservoirs as your water source).

Most pieces ignore collision.

All pieces can be picked up. The pickup option has been moved from the default position so no accidental pickups.

All craft times reduced by half.

All new icons.

All pieces require that you learn the vanilla equivalent structure before learning the new engram at zero engram points.

Added Polymer to the electric cable crafting resources.

PNC Stone Pipes are crafted in the players inventory under Structures -> Pipes -> PNC

Added new structure: Work Table. Allows you to craft all of the PNC metal and power structures. Runs on gasoline. Crafted in the players inventory right next to the vanilla smithy under structures -> crafting.

Added new structure: Metal Sprinkler. Provides water for growing crops. All new particle emitter for more appropriate water effects.

Added new structure: Battery. Forms the base for the PNC Solar Panel and gives a solution to "How am I getting power at night?". Power Cables snap to the base of the pipe behind the pallet.

Added new structure: Solar Panel. Snaps to the PNC Battery. Renewable energy from the sun. Silent power that needs no fuel. Has a somewhat more intensive resource need to build.

Added new structure: Power Generator. Same appearance as vanilla generator. 25% smaller, 50% quieter and able to be locked and picked up.

All parts should still connect to vanilla parts though I can't see why you would want to.

RECOGNITION
--------------------------------
This mod would not have been possible without the many good people in the ARK-Modding Discord. A few notable names: Ionic_Ovrdose, Mezzo, Mezdonian, ZenRowe, P0k3r and iSpeZz but all of the folks there are as helpful as anyone can be.
Special thanks to Ionic_Ovrdose for models and My Fiance for Icon textures.

Geez, that list is that long so it would not surprise me if one of them or some in combination make trouble.

here to report back, still couldnt manage to fix the snapping. not snapping also results into the power cables not getting any power.
but yea, i really dont know what it is and it aint too bad since we have alternatives. if anyone wants here is my collection for my server.
Katarina [WolfCraft Industries] 10 Jan, 2024 @ 2:08pm 
i'm playing on a self hosted dedicated server (the server currently runs on the same machine as the game)
i deleted both the mod files from my own game and from the server, will report back tomorrow.
van Grunz 10 Jan, 2024 @ 8:02am 
Probably corrupt mod files. Delete them and re-install. If it were due to the mod I wouldn't be able to snap the batteries on a cable, too. Do you play Single Player or Dedicated Server?
Katarina [WolfCraft Industries] 10 Jan, 2024 @ 5:26am 
loading this mod before snap fixer and after (last place in load order) did not help.
it must me some kind of conflict but honestly its not too bad. just gotta use something else i guess.
the PNC generator snaps properly tho so i dont know whats up...
van Grunz 8 Jan, 2024 @ 7:45am 
Yes, it's possible that other mods prevent snapping. Also, try load "Snap Fixer Plus" after PNC.
Katarina [WolfCraft Industries] 6 Jan, 2024 @ 11:32am 
weird, maybe its the Snap Fixer Plus that causes this issue? kinda difficult to check because modded ark takes ages to load in even on fast SSDs. i might check on that and come back if i find out anything
van Grunz 6 Jan, 2024 @ 5:01am 
There must be something wrong with your mod files, probably corrupt. I just built a PNC Work Table and in this a PNC Horizontal Cable, put it on the floor and snapped a PNC Battery inclusive a PNC Solar Panel on top with ease.
Katarina [WolfCraft Industries] 6 Jan, 2024 @ 4:23am 
so sad to see that you lost the original files to this mod... i loved it because it gave so much more flexibility for the pipes and cables in this game. and the solar panel plus battery.. just awesome.
but i ran into a problem today, it seems like the solar panel + battery combo dont have a snap point for power cables anymore.. tryed cables from all mods that i have and none wanted to snap and turn yellow...

Привет!
Мне очень нравится мод, он просто шикарен! Будет очень круто, если добавить в мод очки, которые позволят видеть сквозь пол и стены, чтобы просматривать где проходят трубы и кабеля, а то каждый раз поднимать пол или стенку,чтобы посмотреть куда и за что зацепился провод-очень утомляет)))):heart_eyes_yeti:
