I can't place the Gamma Pocket dinos down.

For some reason, using the beta pocket dino in inventory had ended up with me EATING it for some reason, if anyone could explain how i throw it out and not eat it?

Hello, I found a bug. When I use the beta version of "pocket dino", if I put the Argentine giant eagle equipped with a saddle into it and then release it, it will cause the icon of the saddle's construction function to be repeated. And whenever I repeat this set of actions, the icon will repeat a set, and finally I will not be able to open the backpack of the Argentine Giant Eagle, because I was forced to withdraw from the game. The above is from my translation software, it may not be accurate.

I just want to say that one of the great things about your mod is that its filesize is so small. I don't know of many mods for ARK that are entirely text (game code and scripts). I'm not actually the one who's a big fan of the mod itself-- I don't even really use it-- it's some of my friends on my best friend's ARK server who love & need this mod, if you can believe that.

I cant edit my comment, but the Dino Storage mod uses the .sav file for its dino data. Would that make the pocket dino mod more reliable if the dino data was stored there? This mod is just so convenient and we love it.

The Dino Station mod has poke balls and their mod never failed to spawn a dino, but their mod has an issue where it spawns a dino other than what you put in it making you lose the dino you actually placed in the ball. It does not always spawn the wrong ones, but it's enough to not use it for dino storage. We appreciate your efforts @Space [AWL]

The key might be linked it durablity since both the fish trap and cryopod use it, cryopod can also be uploaded/downloaded with stored dino's.

Have also checked the code for the cryopods, there is nothing in there to remove imprints
Space [AWL]  [author] 1 Dec, 2018 @ 7:40pm 
Not much trouble shooting you can do ingame, the dino information stored in the item is ether lost or client/server don't talk correctly so nothing happens. Everything was based on how the beehive works, the only real difference is that the class of the dino is not set to be a bee. Dino class is gotten from the stored dino data and it can save items/restore items.
LoyalNightmare 16 Nov, 2018 @ 12:14pm 
Yep it was the beta one. Just a heads up with the cryo it has a bug that removes the imprint on dynos(Was told this havent done it)
LoyalNightmare 16 Nov, 2018 @ 12:59am 
I belive it was the beta one, but i will for sure let you know tomorrow when they get back on.
Space [AWL]  [author] 16 Nov, 2018 @ 12:04am 
Thanks for letting me know. Which version of were they using?
I will attempt to update once they update the development kit and I can look at the code for the cryo one
LoyalNightmare 15 Nov, 2018 @ 11:27pm 
Just a heads up my friend went to put a argi in a ball it works most of the time but two times today it has crashed him and crashes anyone who would looking in his inventory. it has only happen with the argi so far
Space [AWL]  [author] 9 Nov, 2018 @ 4:34pm 
@Let the Rain. This could be likely due to the latest update for ark. Which pocket dino item are they using?

Now that we have official, i will have to see how they have changed the storing of dino data and spawning of dino data once they update the dev kit.
Sayvil [FR] 9 Nov, 2018 @ 5:46am 
now the game have official storage dinos
Hachuboi 9 Nov, 2018 @ 5:19am 
I ran this mod ith my friends, and 2 friends start crashing when they use pocket dino item or open inventory when they have dinos in inv what is happening? sorry for bad Eng
Arlyana 24 Mar, 2018 @ 4:24pm 
it says can't place metal floor on ground or snap point
Arlyana 24 Mar, 2018 @ 4:19pm 
i am not able to release some of my dinos from the gamma ring it says place and not consume. WTF
BloodOrange 19 Mar, 2018 @ 11:58am 
as 100Hands50Faces said. I have simillar issues. I lost 4 high level dinos. WTF

After finding this mod about two days ago I was totally excited the idea was perfect for a Dino hoarder like myself. Well, that excitement has sadly turned to great disappointment and despair. I play on a single player local mode and to my shock today I am not able to retrieve any dinos, when pressing E it simply performs the consume eat sound and the pocket dino ring is emptied but no dino. What is shocking is that I backup my files every hour or so to prevent totally disasters like this. But to my surprise, even my older versions are affected.

I had very high hopes for this mod and this hope it turns out to be fixable if not I have just lost hours upon hours of single player time and work. I tested this mod for a day or so before going all in so imagine the despair when it failed out of the blue.

No, just went to a flat piece of land, no success
Space [AWL]  [author] 5 Feb, 2018 @ 12:31pm 
Weird, since its based on a structure. Are you trying to place it in a place with building restrictions?
Knightbasher 5 Feb, 2018 @ 6:03am 
Stored my dino in the pocket dino(gamma), and now the dino cant be released when i press e, says can't place metal floor
Anomynous 1 Feb, 2018 @ 2:54pm 
All dino's instantly poop when they are released from ball, so i guess they don't hybernate. I wonder if baby dies if you keep it in there :-)
PantACRO4life 30 Jan, 2018 @ 2:54pm 
well its easy to move them btw they got re-render normaly when they grow +1 but its does the same thing with the mod Dino pickup
Space [AWL]  [author] 29 Jan, 2018 @ 6:43pm 
That's pretty weird for it do that, might need to disable use in babies. It was never intended to be used as way to manage babies.
PantACRO4life 29 Jan, 2018 @ 6:30pm 
Note that when you pickup a baby dino they got render as adult when release
Anomynous 28 Jan, 2018 @ 7:36pm 
Awesome mod.
fillidill 28 Jan, 2018 @ 7:12am 
For me, all of the pockets sadly had empty dinos after some time and a server restart.
PantACRO4life 26 Jan, 2018 @ 6:25pm 
both seem to work fine (beta - gamma) I didnt test all dino but the gamma one seem better in term that you know where gonna be the dino and reject the fact that can be stuck in a structure
fillidill 26 Jan, 2018 @ 3:56am 
I will! Thanks for you hard work, man.
Space [AWL]  [author] 26 Jan, 2018 @ 3:29am 
Try all 3 if you can
Space [AWL]  [author] 26 Jan, 2018 @ 3:28am 
Added another prototype item, spawns dino a from a structure that auto destructs when placed. Has no restrictions when you place it. Only thing that would prevent it is when trying to place it in a no build area.
fillidill 26 Jan, 2018 @ 3:28am 
@Space [AWL] Thanks for the update. Do you recommend using the beta or the normal dino pocket? or are both changed to the same way? :)
PantACRO4life 24 Jan, 2018 @ 1:06pm 
@Space [AWL] yes thx and yes i read everything here I disable the none-beta engram one on my server thx
Space [AWL]  [author] 24 Jan, 2018 @ 12:19am 
Sorry for the lack of replies, been super busy with work.
@fillidill Unfortunately dinos still seem to not spawn some times even with the beta item. For some reason the items are losing the stored dino information or the game client and server are unsynced which causes the server not to procress the spawn, so nothing happens.
Once i get time i will work on another prototype item which handles more like the beehive.

@PantACRO4life(Official) It works on all dinos that you can remote use items in their inventory. This means that raid dinos such as the Titanosaur where you can use items on, can't be stored. You would have to change the server settings to allow raid dino's to eat. Also be warned as some times dinos will fail to spawn. Happens a lot less with the beta item tho.
PantACRO4life 23 Jan, 2018 @ 9:37am 
Hi guys, does this work with Extinction core mod due EC rename all dino to (**whateverwhat)_Core.uasset ?
fillidill 23 Jan, 2018 @ 1:39am 
Just noticed there is a beta version of the item. I will try that and see if that works better. Thanks for all your work!
fillidill 21 Jan, 2018 @ 5:02am 
Is there any update on the problem with dinos sometime disappearing? I love this mod but its not very fun when that happens :/
Sayvil [FR] 14 Jan, 2018 @ 12:25pm 
Add me on friend Space [AWL] i need speak you
jb_aero 13 Jan, 2018 @ 3:58am 
I have had dinos not spawn (thankfully in single player where I could quit before a save), but only when I hadn't stored a dino first. For me there is a huge lag spike the first time during a session that a dino gets stored, and after that there is no lag spike at all. So far I have not lost a dino on deploy if I have stored one first in that session.
420_weezer 24 Dec, 2017 @ 12:10am 
Love the mod, but I just got my Dragon (exctinction tame) eaten by the item when i tried to respawn him. Thing is it worked just fine until just then. I'm guessing there is no way to get it back
Sayvil [FR] 16 Dec, 2017 @ 7:38am 
I managed several servers with an average of 60 players, here the fact that the inventory is kept makes your mod much too strong.
To fix a dino's concern in a dino in a dino, you can make sure that the ball can not go into a dino inventory once it contains one.
See that you create a new item. I know there are objects that can not be put in some inventory.
But in any case if you remove the fact that the inventory is also kept it will be set automatically.
Space [AWL]  [author] 15 Dec, 2017 @ 11:16pm 
@Sayvil. There is a risk if you put a dino in a dino in a dino in a dino, because you could lose one item and all the dino's are gone. Or the ark derps and stops the dino from spawning.

There is no easy way to make it so you can enable/disable the item from going into an intentory. Items can't read directly from game.ini or gus.ini, would be so much easier if they could tho.
Sayvil [FR] 15 Dec, 2017 @ 4:47pm 
hi, super mod, but it is really too strong because we can put a dino in a dino in a dino in a dino ......
Would it be possible to make 1 ball = 1 dino?
AInsi that set up a Game.ini to activate or deactivate the fact that the dinos keep the inventory.
Dogboy20 5 Dec, 2017 @ 3:00pm 
darn
Space [AWL]  [author] 5 Dec, 2017 @ 2:37pm 
It works on all dinos that can you can remote use items in their inventory and it doesn't save structures on platform saddles.
Dogboy20 5 Dec, 2017 @ 8:11am 
also does it work on modded dinos too or only vianlla dinos
Dogboy20 5 Dec, 2017 @ 8:08am 
we are preparing for a war on a pve server and we dont want the enemy to see our war dinos so thats why i ask
Dogboy20 5 Dec, 2017 @ 8:07am 
hey if i have built stuff on a platform saddle and i put in the pocket dino when i take it out will the stuff i put on the platform saddle still be there
Space [AWL]  [author] 1 Dec, 2017 @ 10:16pm 
Lets hope it stays that way
