hello who help me for spawn créature in valguero map ?
Father 7 Sep, 2019 @ 9:10am 
tried adding them in game.ini for val but they don't spawn.
GreyDogGettingAFade 31 Mar, 2019 @ 8:33am 
But if it could have different variants make the tekgram primitive.
GreyDogGettingAFade 31 Mar, 2019 @ 8:30am 
What if you made a tekgram so you can craft it in a replicator without losing the blueprint?
TCHE 11 Feb, 2019 @ 1:55pm 
ok thanks !
TCHE 11 Feb, 2019 @ 12:54pm 
how i do this? >> need to manually add the code to their .ini files
Ethlairian 8 Feb, 2019 @ 10:45am 
Thanks for your reply, and super mod :)

@Ethlairian

It used to be citronel it should be Meat now since the last update, treat it like any other carnivore
Ethlairian 8 Feb, 2019 @ 8:32am 
hello, how to repair and feed the tek tank please?
PHYRIST  [author] 22 Jan, 2019 @ 7:18pm 
Correct, it should only replace the "From" class to the "To" class, the tek cave variant is called EndTank or something, my modded version is actually based on that one
TheMystic6 22 Jan, 2019 @ 6:18pm 
Ok thanks, will try it... this will leave tek cave variants unaffected, and the modded ones will only spawn on extinction, correct? And I could do the same with the tek drone? Thanks, looking forward to using your mod, not sure why this isn't in the base game tbh, we can already use enforcers and scouts which are tek creatures

@TheMystic6

heres the wiki for the vanilla Defence Units (theres two variants one for the TEKCave and one for Extinction)
https://ark.gamepedia.com/Defense_Unit

(Extinction Variant)
admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/Dinos/Tank/Defender_Character_BP.Defender_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 35

(My Modded Variant)
admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/TEK_Guardians/TEK_Tank_Character_BP.TEK_Tank_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 35

so maybe try something like this?

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="<classname>", ToClassName="<classname>")

(this is untested)

NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="Defender_Character_BP_C", ToClassName="TEK_Tank_Character_BP_C")
TheMystic6 22 Jan, 2019 @ 10:52am 
If i want these to be just available in extinction, and replace the regular ones that spawn, what should I do?
Vocal Tune 9 Dec, 2018 @ 2:35pm 
Nice! getting me excited about this again!
PHYRIST  [author] 9 Dec, 2018 @ 9:15am 
Update
i fixed a few stuffs, and added a few stuffs..
Check the patch notes - - Please let me know in the Bugs and Issues section if there are any issues

@Just Bob
i added a craftable kibble like you suggested, though not with element, since element isnt super accessible on some maps
くま🐻 23 Aug, 2018 @ 10:27pm 
you can make a custom kibble : "elemental kibble" made of some regrants and element shards or just element. since it would be very logical and cool if it'd eat a related matters

@mpruitt3

lemons (citronel) are grown in crop plots, unlike rockkarrots and potatoes i dont believe lemons are available in the Wild -- however i plan on making the food something else other than lemons, probably RawMeat like most other things, at one point i did try to use obsidian as food but it wouldnt work
Mpruittsr1 13 Aug, 2018 @ 2:20pm 
where do I find lemons for food ?
Vocal Tune 4 Jul, 2018 @ 6:48am 
That's Awesome!
PHYRIST  [author] 2 Jul, 2018 @ 11:56pm 
Hey Everyone

Check out this other mod i made
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1428368461
Some of you might find it interesting, Its similar to the TEK Guardians but adds a buildable floor!
PHYRIST  [author] 26 Jun, 2018 @ 10:53am 
@stargatedalek
most players i know have an overabundance of citronel from their farm, is why i made lemons exclusive food, gets a little complicated when considering carnivore\herbivore\omnivore\piscivore, every food has different stats and taming effectiveness, ill look into what else i can do instead of lemons

@AzreilNightsky
i could probably look into a Torpor inducing blast thats a TamedOnly attack so the wild ones arent KOing everything on the map - as for more weapon options... RiderWeaponry ?

@Shindara_The_Immortal
no sorry there isnt a stronger alpha version of these creatures, if you want them spawning in rarely similar to alphas, tinker with the SpawnWeight in your spawn entry to make them spawn more or less frequently
stargateMimhi 23 Jun, 2018 @ 8:36pm 
Is it possible to add more options for food? Something easier to stockpile maybe so they won't starve after taming? Element perhaps? Or electronics?


Maybe make it an .ini toggle?
Edge 23 Jun, 2018 @ 7:45pm 
Here's an idea...how about adding the ability to upgrade them? Different weapons (for both) for the drone: a harder hitting manual weapon and another that strictly does topor......for the tank: a mountable automated turret (slow firing for fairness) and...*since it's a tank: How about a timed tek shield (small radius)...moderatly long recharge timer... Just some ideas. I like this mod.....I believe adding the ability to upgrade them, would enhance an already great mod.
Shindara The immortal 22 Jun, 2018 @ 5:39pm 
hmm wonder if they can be made rare spawns like alphas. :D
Griffen 22 Jun, 2018 @ 9:52am 
@PHYRYST thanks! :steamhappy:

Use cheat SDF or GMSummon, read the Discussions for the creature name/path
Griffen 21 Jun, 2018 @ 9:28am 
tammed spawn command?
from tank and drone
SMooreAce 20 Jun, 2018 @ 7:57pm 
Its always nice to find cheaters to avoid!
PHYRIST  [author] 20 Jun, 2018 @ 6:49pm 
@whatisfox
Refer to the Spawn Commands topic in the Discussions
what is fox 20 Jun, 2018 @ 6:26pm 
Spawn CMD PLS really good mod, but i just want the code to make it better
Vocal Tune 20 Jun, 2018 @ 4:56pm 
when I saw this I already thought about making a Tek related Biome b4 the trailer. (Although it would still be under my control.) Then I saw the Trailr and saw the new drone and a new tek creature and thought "Oh wow they've been planning that for a while!" A lot of us Tek Users been wanting permanent tamed guardians for some time.
SMooreAce 19 Jun, 2018 @ 10:41pm 
If he weren't a jackass I would agree. I could have just banned him!
PHYRIST  [author] 19 Jun, 2018 @ 10:20pm 
@SMooreAce
Well idk it might just be a language barrier, some words dont translate directly and i suppose its especially difficult if theres slang and numbers mixed in.. I had to rewrite with complete words for it to translate to russian - when i was on officials i was the only one in our tibe with the locales properly set up for russia and chinese etc, i was the medium (alt tab copy paste to google translate)to the Chinese on our server for trade and it gets complicated to translate some things
SMooreAce 19 Jun, 2018 @ 7:15pm 
Funny that the crybaby want YOU to translate FOR HIM! What a POS!
PHYRIST  [author] 19 Jun, 2018 @ 5:30pm 
@Kesadie381
Извините, если слова ошибочны, я не говорю по-русски

1) ExtinctionDLC выпускается через пять месяцев. Я сделал это до того, как ExtinctionDLC даже дразнил ..

2) не имеет ничего общего с ExtinctionDLC Corrupt theme .. Это буквально миньоны из TheIsland TEK Cave.

3) если вам не нравится thisMod, вам не нужно его использовать
sadasdasdasdas 19 Jun, 2018 @ 5:13pm 
@PHYRIST used google translate please
PHYRIST  [author] 19 Jun, 2018 @ 5:11pm 
@Kesadie381
Translated: "Why this garbage if soon add Excintion"
1) Extinction is 5months+ away.. i made this Before Extinction was even Teased..
2) has nothing to do with Extinctions Corrupt theme.. These are literally the minions from The Island TEK Cave.
3) if you dont like the mod you dont need to use it
sadasdasdasdas 19 Jun, 2018 @ 4:56pm 
Зачем эта фигня если скоро Excintion добавят
PHYRIST  [author] 19 Jun, 2018 @ 6:58am 
@ghostwarrior10
They dont spawn by default, i didnt explicitely define a spawner in case players didnt like where i put them, Check out the discussions for spawner details and how to get them on your map

@www.ark951.com
I had not intended on having flying speed be upgradeable.. Though.. ill look into adding an ini option to enable that if players wish
Major_P0tat0 18 Jun, 2018 @ 11:48pm 
Is there any particular place they spawn, also are they on all maps like aberration, ragnarok etc?
Vocal Tune 18 Jun, 2018 @ 7:21am 
thank you so much! I've been wanting these things for a while since they released! I'll let you know how it all goes on my server!
123 14 Jun, 2018 @ 2:40am 
TEK_Drone can level speed again.
123 14 Jun, 2018 @ 2:37am 
Translation software is not very good.
TEK aircraft acceleration .
PHYRIST  [author] 13 Jun, 2018 @ 9:05pm 
Do you mean can i enable its movement speed leveling?
123 13 Jun, 2018 @ 6:17pm 
TEK_Drone can increase the speed of flight
Can it be realized?
