Added "Requires GASOLINE to operate" to the crafting table inventory text.

This mod is complete and will not be receiving any more updates unless an ARK update somehow breaks it. ENJOY!

Removed the PNC Water Pump

If your pre-existing sprinkler heads are not running after this update please pick it up and then put it back and it should update itself.

Thanks to everyone who is using this mod, has contributed to creating it or has helped iron out the bugs along the way.

Yet another attempt to fix the damn pump. I apologize but there is no way to test a structure's reaction to a server restart in the dev kit.

Update: 8 May, 2016 @ 6:54am

Removed the code from the PNC Water Pump that was causing more issues than it was fixing. Should not turn off during restarts now.

Removed the 1 second timer on the pick up for the PNC Metal Water Faucet.


This should be my final update on this mod unless something breaks.

Discovered and corrected several mistakes regarding Level and Engram requirements.

Pulled the Stone Pipes out of the Workbench and put them in the players Inventory where they belong.

Update: 25 Apr, 2016 @ 6:34pm

Reason for update not on Sunday:

It was pointed out to me that my crafting table required resources that greatly exceeded the vanilla requirements to craft stone water pipes and thus unbalanced my mod. I have greatly reduced the mats needed to craft the table.

Other changes:

Corrected an instance where the "Pick up" menu option would show up twice when fuel is added to the inventory of the PNC Workbench and the PNC Power Generator.

Fixed some minor snapping issues on the half and quarter incline pipes and cables.

Replaced the vanilla incline mesh on my full size inclines with the mesh I used on the half and quarter inclines so they better match.

Removed the 1 second timer on all the pick ups. I had added it originally to thwart the accidental pickups but now the menu option is moved to the end so it isn't necessary anymore.

Put in coding to hopefully stop the Water Pump from shutting off on server restarts.

Adjusted the crafting resources needed to build the Battery. Was never intended to be the same as the Solar Panel.

Set the prerequisites on all of the PNC structures to require that you learn the equivalent vanilla structure first to maintain Engram point balance.

Adjusted the crafting resources on the PNC Power Cables to include Polymer so as to make it slightly more difficult than the metal needed to make simple water pipes.

Added Structures: 1/4 & 1/2 Stone Pipe Inclines, 1/4 & 1/2 Metal Pipe Inclines & 1/4 & 1/2 Power Cable Inclines.

Sorry for the off-Sunday update.

Moved the snap point on the Battery to be slightly higher so people don't have issues seeing the cable under the foundations.

Made the Battery capable of snapping to an existing cable. This allows for some odd placements of the battery pallet but that is on you guys if you want it to look weird I guess. If you place Battery first then everything should look fine.

Changed the Mod Image. That was all drawn with the pipes and cables themselves.

Removed the blue spark from the PNC Power Outlet and the PNC Water Pump.

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

Added new structure: Battery. Forms the base for the Solar Panel and gives a solution to "How am I getting power at night?" (I forgot to adjust the resources needed to build this. It will be adjusted on the next update.)

Changed the mesh for the PNC Solar Panel. It now stands atop a post and needs to be snapped to the PNC Battery.

IF you leave your existing pre update PNC Solar Panel in place the cable attachment will be a little off but it will continue to work. If you pick it up you will need to place a new PNC Battery before you will be able to place it again. It may be possible to snap the Battery to an existing Power network but it may look odd if the cables are off the ground too much.

PS I will not be touching the panel mesh anymore. I understand and apologize for the inconvenience it may have caused.

It is late and I am tired...will change out some of the pictures tomorrow.

Made all pieces foundations so that any piece may be picked up for whatever reason without causing the destruction of any other attached PNC piece.

Made all pieces raft and saddle platform compatible (though the intake is not likely to work on a saddle platform due to not close enough to water).

Removed collision checks from power lines.

Adjusted the location of the floating text on the intakes to be more central to the item.

Reduced the blue flickering light intensity on the PNC Power Outlet.
