5x Prime Meat

Description
Mod ID - 660056596

Purpose - Allows raw prime meats to stack to 5x. No other changes. Rebalances higher efficiency carnivore tames for smaller tribes. 5x I felt was the best balance, many more and you didn't have to farm at all while taming. I may try to make the mod configurable via ini setting.

!!! - Notice - You will need to destroywilddinos to get the stackable prime meat to start dropping. Any tamed dinos from before the mod was installed will still drop regular prime meat!!!

Why - Any stack mod that replaces items used in learnable engrams breaks your character save files so you can't upload them and download them to a new server, so I wanted one that modified as little as possible. After several hours of playing with various stack mods, my conclusion was the primary difference in gameplay was in Raw Prime Meat stacking, which could be modified without breaking either character or map saves.

Details - This is a clean mod, it does not modify any core files. This mod works by remapping RawPrimeMeat to a new child resource. It should be completely stackable with any and all other mods as long as they do not remap PrimalItemConsumable_RawPrimeMeat. If they do remap it, and you want my mod to work instead of theirs, make sure mine comes before theirs in your load order.Allows raw prime meat to stack to 5x. This is a clean mod, it does not modify any core files. It does remap RawPrimeMeat to a new child resource. Since raw prime isn't used in any vanilla engram recipies (only in taming and cooking), all character saves should be fine. The map save should also be fine. The only thing that needs to be wiped is the dinos on the island, since they won't drop the remapped resource until they've been respawned.

@EyphoricGaming how?

there is a ini setting that does this in game now, you don't need mods.

@Dashabi No. I haven't played ARK for more than twenty minutes in the last six years.

The devkit isn't hard to figure out though. I could never get Prime Mutton or Fish to cook right.

I need to use your meat to override the crafting recipe in the taming mods I have, how can I do this?

works for me if any interested. Though i have ini settings also. so it stack for me at 25 :-) Where is prime fish one? i only use raw to tame on private game. so cooking not issue.

I finally uninstalled the 120+GB Devkit and all 80+GB of ARK and have my precious SSD back. Unless Wildcard gets their shit together I probably won't be back.

Seconding the Prime Fish request, and adding Mutton, which apparently doesn't stack either.
