@Tinker Nerd that sounds like a idea. I my just play with the Idea in the next day or 2.

I don't know how much demand there is for this, but a collector to pull crops from crop plots would be useful for those with a bunch of plots

@Dezorro LOL just fixed that in this update. :)

love this mode but can never get the crystals for gacha to auto crack

Can the egg collector pick up the Bunny Eggs from the holiday event?

@ The Unfree Man
I was planning on doing some maintenance to all my Mod's this weekend. So I will add oil pull from the dung beetles. At that time.

they are now thank you

Just put out an Update so the mod should be working now :)

for some reason the achatina paste isn't collecting. i placed an auto collector and snail collector next to the achatina's and next to a powered outlet and they're not collecting even though there's a paste pellet right there. Am i doing something wrong?

@Itsa me, MarDIO Thanks for the info. I did notice that when I looked at poop on the ground, it showed new info, like nitrogen level and a description. Maybe that's related....?

That's why mods like this aren't working now

from the Better Dinos bug report thread:

'Change in Octree Enums' That sentence won't mean much to many of you, however this is something that KBD uses extensively for various things such as Oviraptor and Dung Beetle Poop/Egg collection. This change to the enums means that those aren't going to working properly. Fix discovered by modding collective, priority fix next update.

I tried restarting my game, and picking it up and putting it back down, disabling and then enabling poop and thatch collection, but I couldn't get the Auto Collector to collect poop or thatch, but the Dung Collector does. Unfortunately the Owl Pellet Collector doesn't work either. I even put it right in front of my owl and turned it on.

I was pretty sure the Auto Collector was supposed to collect poop. I made one and it is powered, but isn't collecting poop. However, I made a Dung Collector and it is picking it up. Isn't the Auto Collector supposed to behave like the Dung Collector (but with more options)? Could the Auto Collector auto pull from the Dung Collector? Maybe this isn't working or I'm doing something wrong. Maybe I need to restart my game (I'm playing in single player mode). I'm currently playing Genesis Pt. 2 and also using StackMeMore mod (along with others, but that's the only stacking mod).

@Mvc84 The mod you want is https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1404661448

Is one of the collectors supposed to distribute poop to beetles? I made the auto collector, the fertiliser and the dung one but none has any options to distribute to beetles. Trying to utilise the oil production of beetles - dont need anything else to make fertiliser since the beetle makes crazy amounts of it. Also if that feature doesnt exist would be nice to add it and also to alternate every different size - 1 large, 1 medium 1 small and one xsmall, then again the same, if one size isnt in the collector, skip it on that cycle and check on next cycle again. Might also have a different timer on beetle distribution (ini file entry would be awesome) since they convert one poop every 15 or 16 minutes

Could you add the ability to "name" the various collectors the way in game storage units like refrigerators and vaults can be named to make it easier to differentiate if one has several of the same type near each other?

what about collecting wool?

Thank you

The DemTimer is the amount of time to hold down the pickup butten in the menu before it activates.

What is a "DemTimer"?

Mod seems really cool. We upgraded to the new one (this one) and it seems to no longer auto open crystals. If you do it manually it works, just not auto. Anyone else?

I had no time the last weeks, but thank you for the fast update.

thanks, I will check in to this problem.

It's Genesis.

@Ichyus thank you for letting ma know i will check into this. Plz Let me know what Map/s your playing on.

The mod isn't working anymore after the last Ark Update, my server crashed because of it. I think a change in the base game is causing it.

Just wondering if the BA Egg Collector's Auto-Pull Timer can be changed and if so then how can it be done? Thanks

Thank you both for the input and hope all have a safe 4th.

@Blackwolf, can confirm all are currently working for me.

Did have one issue with egg collector, wouldn't let me pick it up after the update, demolished it, built a new one and it works fine, can even pick it up again.

Love your mods, hope you have a great time for your 4th.

@Blackwolf All collectors is working. Thanks!

@Alexandria, @Opupentium Thank you very much for the heads up on the menu problems. Thankfully it was an easy an simple fix. Please let me know how this update works out for you both. Cooking now!

@Alexandria I will have to dig deeper into the mode to see what is going on Most of my testing have been on a server since I had updated everything. So I will work on this during the 4th while I am off work then I should have a fix very soon.

@Blackwolf, Can confirm BA Dung Collector Radial Menu is also not working, same issue I reported for the BA Auto Collector.

I'm on a Single Player "Valguero" Map, my previous map was "The Island".
I purposely built ONE of everything in the mod, and tested them:

All of these, the first part of the radial menu works, but when selecting options for features, those menus flash up for a brief moment then close.
--------------------------------------------
BA Auto Collector - Radial Menu Options Not working
BA Dung Collector - Radial Menu Options Not Working
BA Snail Collector - Radial Menu Options Not Working
BA Quake Collector - Radial Menu Options Not Working


All portions of the radial menu work for these:
--------------------------------------------
BA Gacha Crystal Collector - Working (all radial menus)
BA Owl Pellet Collector - Working (all radial menus)
BA Fertilizer Barrel - Working (all radial menus)
BA Eggcollector - Working (all radial menus)

@Blackwolf
Single player.

@Opupentium May I ask if you are on a server or single player world so I can see if I have the same problems.

Hi, Blackwolf!
Thank you for mod and for prompt support.
New elements in the radial menu of the "BA Dung Collector" also do not work.

@Alexandria Thank you for letting me know about the Auto Collector menu problem. I will work on that and get an update out in the next 24 hours.

@Blackwolf, Any idea why I can't change any options in the BA Auto Collector? When I select a main option in the radial menu, it flashes up the sub-options for that setting but then closes, not giving me enough time to read, let alone click on a setting.

The individual collectors work fine, I can select and change their options in the radial menus.

Hi, Blackwolf! Thanks for mod.
Please increase the maximum range of all collectors (e.g., up to 100 foundations).

@Zentylars I am planning to bump the min pull radius down for both collectors in the next update. I was just testing for a good min radius to be set to.

I noticed that the Pellet Push radius has a minimum of 3,000. What is the minimum that can be set for each of the collectors for pull radius? I am wanting to turn down the Gacha pull radius as it causes overlaps between two sets of Gacha's resulting in an unknown resource within each collector. I want to be able to have a collector for each pair of resource producing Gacha's. At about 250 units for each foundation, I am estimating the range that I want to set is 1500 but it does not appear to reduce down to this value.

"everything that wildcard touches is going to die"... like S+

I am sorry but No I wish you could turn that 30-sec thang off its WC they are the ones who added it to all structures Although it only happens when you place a structure

jeah i know, but do you guys have got the same appearance than me? maybe i can turn that off.

The Collectors work as soon as you place it. Unless you have to turn it ON :)

does it be normal sice idk last update that you have to wait 30 sec until your builded structure is online like turrets or walls and so on?

uh, didnt noticed^^ Thx mate

@frosch1007 Thank you and The fertilizer barrel does do that all you have to do is turn it on in the menu :)

cool mod, since s+ is slowly getting out of date...was so nice...

well could you make that the fertilizer is also distributet to the crop plots nearby would be amazing!
