Upgrade Station v1.8i

Description
Mod ID: 821530042

Allows you to upgrade the quality of weapons, armor, tools, and saddles from primitive all the way to ascendant. Even works with items from other mods! Can also salvage items for resources.

This mod doesn't change any core files and is stackable with other mods (see below).

... Yes, it works with TEK armor!

Attention!

Rocket Launchers & Tek Rifles

Vanilla rocket launchers and TEK rifles can't be upgraded. However, I have created a small companion mod that allows you to replace your vanilla rocket launcher with an upgradeable one.

Feel free to sub to the "Classic Rocket Launchers" mod if you'd like to be able to upgrade your rocket launchers! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=884380337

We may do the same for Tek rifles in the future.

Compatibility

Weapons, armor, tools, and saddles from other mods can be upgraded and/or salvaged as long as the mod author has used the appropriate item as a starting point for their items (Hatchet for "Super Hatchet", Boots for "Tek Boots", etc).

While I can try my best to ensure items from other mods can be upgraded and salvaged I can't control what other mod authors do in their mods. When in doubt, put this mod last in the load order. :)

The Upgrade Station can upgrade all items from any mod as long as the item has an upgrade path. Items that don't have an upgrade path (C4, Tripwire, Wooden Spear, etc) cannot be upgraded because they don't have a quality index. Some items, like the Builder's Helmet, will identify as being valid to upgrade but won't actually upgrade in a meaningful way.

Version

Version 1.8i has been released! This update should fix the crashes that result from multiple players attempting to upgrade/salvage/blueprint/augment the same item. For more information, please see the Version 1.8i Release Notes.

Highly Configurable

If you're finding upgrade requirements to be too low for your liking please note that the upgrade formula is completely configurable via INI settings. Please read this discussion for more info as well as a link to the formula to give you an idea how it works: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/821530042/152392786911200641/

They won't have another choice than leaving this beta branch available or does anyone really think hundredsd of modders come back to update their old and abandoned projects?
♉ Ðevyn 🐉 20 Jul @ 6:15pm 
I hope you update this due to the Aquatica release. Who knows is the pre-aquatica beta option will be around forever :cattiva:

PixelSin 20 Jul @ 12:06pm 
Do you think we could update these with the new ark patch (7/2025) - I would love to be able to continue using this mod <3
Aggroviking 19 Jul @ 6:22am 
I recommend you to read game news.
Go configure your steam client, choose the pre-Aquatica branch in steams Ark-settings (same with your server) and everything will be fine.
No single mod broke Aquatica-DLC, but the Aquatica-DLC broke every single mod instead.

The mod does not work after the patch update

Pour le moment, il faut annuler la mise à jour.
Si t'as acheté le DLC... Bah faut choisir x)
