Hey Grebog, been a long time fan of this mod. I just got into ASA and can't seem to find an item finder mod like yours. I see that you've got a lot going on but is there any chance you'll port this mod to ASA? Would happily pay for it as I hope many others would be willing to as well.

Hello friends!
As you recognized, i did not update the mod for a long time.
Real life has completely consumed me, so I have no time for ARK and modding.
i know, this is not what you want to hear, but i hope this will change in the future.
i am working on it.
Sorry for that and thx for your support!

@CMDR_Nef sorry for the issue. i cannot mod ark at the moment, broken pc and not time to mod. Please note this bug in the "found any Bugs" discussion.

what kind of dino?

Hi Grebog, love your mods, My sister and I absolutely cannot live without Natural Babies. Great work!

I found a major issue with this mod today. I checked your bug thread and saw that it had been reported last year so I figured I'd drop it in the comments so people are aware and don't make a costly mistake. I used it to pull fertilized eggs out of Dino Storage's soul terminals and after the transfer the eggs health had all dropped to 0.

I reproduced this bug to be sure there wasn't any other possible explanations for this. I separated a pair of dinos, bred them and had a freshly placed soul terminal pick the egg up. Checking the health each step of the way, it was at 98 when it was sucked up by the terminal. I then pulled it to my inventory with Item Finder and the eggs health dropped to 0.

The mod is working just fine otherwise.

@Jules ok, nice to hear
Jules 24 May, 2022 @ 4:26pm 
@Grebog it actually does work right now with cryos. If you search "cryopod" it will show you a list of cryopods that are all labeled "empty cryopod". But if you use the Move function, it transfers the fully functional cryopod to you and it works fine ) So the only thing missing appears to be displaying what is in the cryopod.
Great to hear that you are going to keep modding! I've used a couple of your mods in the past, very helpful.
Grebog  [author] 24 May, 2022 @ 11:54am 
@Jules thx for your feedback! i do not know, if this will work with cryopodded dinos. i hope to find some time to mod in the next half year.
Jules 23 May, 2022 @ 11:01pm 
Fantastic mod, incredibly useful. Thanks for putting in the work to make this happen!
Any plans to make it the best mod ever by including cryopodded dinos in the search? It can find the cryos now if you type "cryo" into the search, but it just shows "empty cryopod". That would be insanely useful, now that everyone cryos up all their dinos.

Thanks Grebog this explains a lot :)
Grebog  [author] 10 Jan, 2022 @ 1:52am 
@A New Home on a big base with many containers searching for items can result in a lag. The search is done by server code.
A New Home 9 Jan, 2022 @ 3:22pm 
Sometimes when running a search in a big base, it seems that there is a bit of rubber band lag for other players - is the search async and not affecting others on the map ?
Tibbi🦄 21 Dec, 2021 @ 8:49am 
Mod will not find wood. Is that a bug? Thanks just wondering. Love the mod. Wish we could search for a blueprint and auto pull what we need to craft item. Now that would be cool.
Arksanity.com 18 Sep, 2021 @ 8:12am 
Seems the change to Tek Dedicated Storage makes them not appear when searching with Item Finder. Not a yuge problem for us, running with a stackmod so more than enough space in vaults.
Grebog  [author] 2 Jul, 2021 @ 5:49am 
@Temil2006 the item finder is searching in Ark-inventories. If the modded inventory is not of this type, the search will fail. (i do not play with s+, because of "reasons")
Temil2006 2 Jul, 2021 @ 1:01am 
This may have been asked before, but I couldn't find it anywhere.. it seems that F3 doesn't find anything within the S+ dedicated storage, only the vanilla ones. Is this a bug or working as expected? or is there a way to get it to work with S+ dedicated store boxes?
Grebog  [author] 16 Jun, 2021 @ 10:57am 
@JustHnoss thx for the solution
Firella 16 Jun, 2021 @ 8:07am 
Nevermind, I found the issue. I had to change the DefaultInput.ini before changing the Input.ini in CleanSourceConfigs for it to work. Otherwise it reset the inputs to whatever was in DefaultInput.ini
Firella 16 Jun, 2021 @ 7:39am 
I use Item Finder and Accessories Plus on my server. The Ocular Implant from that mod uses Shift + F3 to enable/disable a certain function. However, whenever I press Shift + F3, Item Finder is opened and I can not use the Ocular Implant option. I tried to see if I could switch some keybindings out, but I have no idea what exactly I should do. Do you have a recommendation?
Grebog  [author] 5 Jun, 2021 @ 11:03am 
@JustHnoss i am afraid, this issue has something to do with the last ark patch... i need to test it
Firella 5 Jun, 2021 @ 8:07am 
Hi, we can no longer find items in Dino inventories. Any tips?
Max Shadow 20 Mar, 2021 @ 12:30pm 
Can you make it so it finds items in caches too? I understand that wouldn't work well in PvP, but for single player and PVE with friends it should be fine. You could add an ini setting to disable that feature (and keep it disabled by default), but removing it altogether just because it doesn't work well with a specific gamemode is a bit drastical.
TiffaCura 15 Feb, 2021 @ 4:19pm 
@grebog can you increase the max distance over 20000 please?
Grebog  [author] 28 Dec, 2020 @ 1:20am 
@Storm thank you too!
STuRoK 27 Dec, 2020 @ 5:33pm 
I am still thankful for Grebog's mods! So many useful great mods. I still use this mod and creature finder and others even updates have encroached on copying them.
SS/+ item transfer is not as good as this mod. This mod will find ANYTHING and it's so dang handy when you need it !
Creature finder still better than S+ too. The green dots on the map, plus finding your lost dinos has been extremely helpful for me.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU, Grebog!
RbbrBootz 7 Dec, 2020 @ 2:11pm 
Thanks for the quick response
Grebog  [author] 6 Dec, 2020 @ 2:21am 
@RbbrBootz no, because an item cache is not personalized. It would be fatal in multiplayer, if you can find all item cashes in the world.
RbbrBootz 5 Dec, 2020 @ 9:36pm 
I've gone through a few pages but have not found anything related to item caches. Does this mod allow you to find your killed dino's item cache?
-shhfiftyfive 22 Nov, 2020 @ 3:41am 
i restarted and it resolved. not sure what happened. my steam setting also changed (fps overlay was disabled) strange.
Grebog  [author] 22 Nov, 2020 @ 1:53am 
@-shhfiftyfive i think, this is not "item finder" related?
-shhfiftyfive 21 Nov, 2020 @ 3:55pm 
i'm stuck trying to troubleshoot a problem i have noticed after subbing to this mod.
i can't figure out what would cause this.

pretext: when i have dino's breeding, and the egg temp is fine enough to hatch without my help, the babies pop out, i ignore them (no imprint, red dino) they eventually die without my help.. corpse is empty but green.

so the actual problem i am seeing (new) is the juvenile corpses decompose timer is almost 3 hours long. idk why it suddenly became so long, and no clue how to resolve this.

i also want to keep friendly fire off, so my dino's do not damage each other in combat (if that is how it works) which makes it impossible to get rid of owned dino corpses or unwanted dinos, as far as i can tell in my current settings...

this is single player.

@Papa Gummy Bear, you will find a list of my mods here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1595207617
Kurutta Rōjin 21 Oct, 2020 @ 1:51pm 
Can't believe that I missed this one, just spent almost an hour looking for something that I would have found in less than a min. lol... Another great mod :)
Grebog  [author] 5 Aug, 2020 @ 10:09am 
@Chai Sensei Thank you for your nice words!
Chai Sensei 5 Aug, 2020 @ 6:21am 
@ anyone looking at Grebog's mods. I use and am happy with several. At the same time I no longer use S+ (too bulky if you use many other mods). Lightweight, stable, effective.

Don't listen to anyone's complaints (or praises). Try his work yourself and see.

TigerLuv 2 Feb, 2020 @ 5:08am 
Strange they changed their name here. They even admit that was a different mod that had the issue. :/
Grebog  [author] 27 Jan, 2020 @ 9:28am 
@someguy
I have never encountered anyone who is so inconsistent.
This was the fourth time that you answered, although you didn't want to answer anymore.
I do not envy you, you really must have a very bad life.
lial organization 26 Jan, 2020 @ 11:29am 
your gonna need it if you gonna have any hope as a modder considering you let one person aka me get you down so easily. so sad. oh and will be removing all my previous comments on here and blocking you. i will also be turning off my notifications. WHAT IS THAT YOU GUYS SAID ABOUT ME??? I CANT HEEEEEEAR YOU OR SEE IT MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. keep hating. :)
lial organization 26 Jan, 2020 @ 11:29am 
well after taking a day to think i decided to take your advice and try s+ guess what i did. and confirmed it is waaaaaaaay better then your mod indeed. the search system was way better. i also traced the problem down to one of my other mods. cuz i loaded only your mod and it works. yet s+ works too. but unlike your mod it works with them all. i think your programming is bad. thats all. why else would orionson's mod work where yours does not? and you wanna talk about subscribers??? he has waaaay more then you and after what i saw i can see why. and i bet you that he wouldnt behave toward me the way you did. KEEP HATING COMMENTORS I KNOW YOU LOVE YOUR GREBOG and i bid you all farewell. it was truly fun. please send the hate coming. those who are different are always hated and scorned so thanks for cheering. especially you grebog. let your fans pep talk you.
TigerLuv 26 Jan, 2020 @ 3:27am 
Grebog your mod is great, and I have not found an issue with your mod. I can't say that for Ark, and I paid for it :D
Luna 25 Jan, 2020 @ 9:01pm 
get a life someguy you really need to grow up.
Grebog  [author] 25 Jan, 2020 @ 10:26am 
@someguy if you would pay for my mods, this would be a totally other discussion. But i don't owe you anything. I have over 800,000 subscribers with all my mods. It is a lot for an unprofessional modder, or not?
Grebog  [author] 25 Jan, 2020 @ 2:49am 
@someguy: For one point you are right, Ark modding is a free business, i am not required, that my mods are working for all people. There are thousands of mods in the workshop.
And believe my, i know how to mod, otherwise i would not be a sponsored modder with my Dino Patrol Mod. But mods can interfer other mods, there is never a 100% reliability, that all is working as expected.

So, please use S+ for searching for your items, and do not use my mods any longer!
And try to complain about S+ in the S+ comments, hehe.

BTW. The comments are not for posting bugs, i usually make a discussion for each of my mods like "Found any bugs".
Grebog  [author] 25 Jan, 2020 @ 2:49am 
@someguy it is usually not my thing to feed trolls, but your comments are so funny for all people, who read them. I will not delete your posts, so everyone can read your silliness.

Your problem is not my mod or me, but only you and how you deal with other people. And this confirms my acceptance, because you did not read what i wrote. You wrote your comments only to drive wild.

I advise you strongly to visit a psychologist, you really need it.

Grebog  [author] 24 Jan, 2020 @ 8:24am 
@someguy
1. you misunderstand me, i wrote nothing about your grammar. the item finder uses the language you play ARK. for example if you play in german, the mod will not find "wood" but it will find "holz".
2. you wrote, that i should delete your comments.
3. no one forces you to use my mods
4. and because you are the only one complaining about my mod, i am afraid, that you are not be able to use it correctly.

And who is now the idiot?
Grebog  [author] 6 Jan, 2020 @ 2:14pm 
@phantom this mod is for searching for any items in all your container and tamed dino inventories.
Henry of Skalitz 6 Jan, 2020 @ 7:33am 
Mod allows you to find materials such as metal, black pearls, wood?
Grebog  [author] 28 Dec, 2019 @ 11:17am 
@delina, i have already thought about this, but it is not as easy as it could be. But it is on my future feature list.
