Doesn't break the server when I load it up like other mods after today's patch. Anyone able to confirm if it's still working?

From my playing it was of no issue it only added the recipe to be visible in the cooker but if i face any problem i'll report it as fast as i can

@spiderhouse I intentionally did not take any dependencies on any other mods to make this mod as compatible as possible. However, this also means that some mods may choose to not respect the recipes added to the base game Cooking Pot / Industrial Cooker. However, if they do follow the same recipes, then they will work as well.

i played after i commented by a few days and noticed the blueprints in the vanilla cooking pot so i thought you already done it but maybe S+ or one of the other mods have done it automatically

@Loumos I'm not familiar with Primal Fear but it is definitely possible if it overrides Cooking Pot or Industrial Cooker behavior.
Loumos 8 Jul @ 4:45pm 
mod doesnt work with primal fear. ive tried to set it as the second in loading and nope.
Brimm  [author] 6 Apr @ 10:01am 
@spiderhouse No, that's not how it works. It works basically like all other cooking recipes. This is an intentionnal design decision. Simply put the correct ingredients into the cooking pot, turn it on and they will cook.
spiderhouse 6 Apr @ 9:35am 
is it possible to have like a blueprint ready in the pot like S+ does or no?
Brimm  [author] 17 Apr, 2024 @ 5:58am 
@Exodhya then there might be another mod that is conflicting. You can start a new game with just this mod enabled to make sure that it works for you and then identify which other mods you are running that might interfere. Make sure that the fire is lit and that you have a water source as well.
Exodhya 15 Apr, 2024 @ 1:39pm 
Its not working for me. I try to craft following the recipies in the description, but nothing happens. And yes, im using regular cooking pot, not S+ or anything

@GgmSecurity Unfortunately, it's very doubtful that I'll update it for ASA as I don't play ASA and haven't purchased it.

Additionally, since there has been a full engine change, it would likely be necessary to more or less start from scratch though I'm sure a lot of the logic can be copied. I've put all the mod files in a GitHub repository so anyone who wants to fork the mod and port it to ASA is free to do so.
GgmGaming 17 Nov, 2023 @ 5:49pm 
awesome! Thanks for answering so quickly. One more question, do you plan on updating it to work on ASA?
Brimm  [author] 17 Nov, 2023 @ 4:32pm 
@GgmSecurity It improves the imprint quality, same as cuddling/walking the dino during its youth. I don't believe it can go past 100% though arguably I don't remember if I tested it or not. It does not give any additional stat boost.
GgmGaming 16 Nov, 2023 @ 2:05pm 
@Brimm When it says imprint quality is it the amount of imprint done on the dino? For ex. you have a 80% imprint on a dino and you use it to improve the imprint quality, does it make the imprint 100%? Or is it referring to the stat boost you get from imprinting? Also is there a cap to it? If it's for the imprint itself, can it go past the 100% imprint or if it's the stat boost from imprint is there a max amount that it can be done to a single dino?
TheProff 31 Aug, 2023 @ 7:48am 
@Brimm really based developer ngl actually answering question jokes or not really surprised
:steamthumbsup:
Brimm  [author] 31 Aug, 2023 @ 6:52am 
@TheProff Hey I don't judge! Whatever floats your boat...
frick 30 Aug, 2023 @ 12:38pm 
there are sex mods for starbound, i'd be surprised if one for ark wouldn't pop up someday
TheProff 30 Aug, 2023 @ 3:39am 
@Brimm lmao im surprised u answered made it as a joke only who tf wants sex between ark characters:steamsalty:
Brimm  [author] 29 Aug, 2023 @ 11:13am 
@TheProff it's been a very long time since I made this mod so I don't 100% recall but I'm quite certain that it cannot change the sex for the player (pretty sure I targeted the effect only for the Dinosaur blueprint). As such, I'm 99% certain that this only works for dinosaurs. You can always try, though!
TheProff 29 Aug, 2023 @ 9:35am 
is it for humans aswell
frick 14 Jul, 2023 @ 11:57am 
thanks
Brimm  [author] 14 Jul, 2023 @ 11:46am 
@frick 24-hours realtime.
frick 13 Jul, 2023 @ 9:06pm 
is the 24 hour cooldown realtime or ingame time?
i feel stupid asking, but it's always important to make sure
Pyroticus 28 May, 2023 @ 7:59pm 
Dang, okay thanks!
Brimm  [author] 28 May, 2023 @ 5:26pm 
@Pyroticus these aren't engrams, they are simply cooking pot recipes, same as any other recipe in the game (ex: dyes, potions, etc.) You do not need engrams for any of these either. As far as I know, there is no way to disable a recipe from the Game.ini file.
Pyroticus 28 May, 2023 @ 11:09am 
@Brimm Attempting to turn off the engrams via .ini to make them purchased via our "Merchant" player only, but the "OverrideNamedEngramEntries=" ini isn't hidding them, thoughts?
Brimm  [author] 18 Apr, 2023 @ 6:22am 
@Khan Unfortunately, I don't believe so. The S+ cookers don't use the same base types and I did not want to take a dependency on S+ for this mod. You'll likely need to build regular cookers as well to use this mod.
Khan 16 Apr, 2023 @ 3:27pm 
The mod doesn't work on S+ cooking pot and industrial cooker?
Brimm  [author] 11 Apr, 2023 @ 5:41pm 
@Welph The mod doesn't support INI file configuration. There is currently no way to change the mod other than disabling individual blueprints in the INI file.
Welph 11 Apr, 2023 @ 12:17pm 
@Brimm Im trying to make some ini changes to the mod. What is the head line of the mod? could be [BetterBreeding] but idk
LaAsesino 29 Mar, 2023 @ 7:19pm 
@ Brimm I will check that and post if it worked
Brimm  [author] 27 Mar, 2023 @ 11:32am 
@LaAsesino shouldn't be. Maybe check load order? Perhaps some other mod is interfering? Issues like this are hard to diagnose.
LaAsesino 27 Mar, 2023 @ 10:40am 
Any reason the imprinting quality works on my single player and not my server? All same mods.
Brimm  [author] 6 Jan, 2023 @ 10:51am 
@Welph Unfortunately no, there is no way to edit the recipes without changing the mod itself.

All of the mod's code is available in the following repository : https://github.com/cmerat/Ark.BetterBreeding

Feel free to fork the mod and adapt to fit your needs.
Welph 6 Jan, 2023 @ 6:33am 
Is it possible to change the ressources and the amount of ressources? I want to make these kind of potions much more expensive
Brimm  [author] 25 Sep, 2022 @ 12:44pm 
@Surikata123 all recipes are cooked in a Cooking Pot or Industrial Cooker.
Surikata 25 Sep, 2022 @ 4:43am 
where can i craft breeding energy enhancer (what station)
Brimm  [author] 29 Jul, 2022 @ 5:18am 
@Key IRL time.
Key 28 Jul, 2022 @ 7:41pm 
Is the 24 hours in game time or irl time?
Brimm  [author] 23 Jul, 2022 @ 5:42am 
@FoxxiFurr the breeding and sex potions, no, but the imprint ones work.
FoxxiFurr 23 Jul, 2022 @ 2:05am 
Do these work for creatures without genders like Maewings or Griffins?
Pyroticus 8 Jun, 2022 @ 9:56pm 
No biggie, we found a work around
Brimm  [author] 8 Jun, 2022 @ 5:51am 
Hi @Pyroticus unfortunately, this kind of customization is not possible with this addon.
Pyroticus 7 Jun, 2022 @ 4:08pm 
Was wondering if there is a way to turn off crafting of certain potions? Or have them turned off from crafting all together? I'm basically looking to remove the gender change potions as we have S+ for that and I want that concept to be end game locked, but still would like the other 3. Would be willing to just have the trader person in our server spawn them in and them only be available via trade if it's possible to turn them off from crafting!
Brimm  [author] 25 Jan, 2022 @ 5:27am 
@ryanjensen472 The imprinting quality potion simply increases the "Imprinting Quality" stat of the dino (which you can see in its stats near the bottom if I remember correctly) by 20%. It then applies a 24h cooldown that the dino must wait before it can use the potion again. This is how it is designed to work. If you aren't seeing the imprinting quality go up, it may mean that your dino is already at maximum (100%), that the dino type does not support imprinting bonus or that another mod is conflicting.
ryanjensen472 25 Jan, 2022 @ 3:35am 
How exactly does the imprinting quality potion work? I've given it to multiple dinos and nothing happens yet when i put another potion in it still has the 24hr timer. All other potions I've been able to get to work. Tried both while riding the dino and while not.
Brimm  [author] 18 Jan, 2022 @ 9:05am 
@Stryder-Legion If you cannot "giveitem" then it means that the mod is not being loaded successfully. Have you checked the mod load order? Have you tried loading just this mod and no others? Do you have any output in your log files with regards to loading errors?
Stryder-Legion 18 Jan, 2022 @ 8:52am 
We are unable to make them on my server using regular cooking pots, and we cannot giveitem using the cheat as of 17JAN2022 last checked
Brimm  [author] 14 Jan, 2022 @ 11:03am 
@onepiece__gold are you using S+ or alternative Cooking Pots / Industrial Cookers? This mod only works with the base versions of those structures.
The One Who Drinks 14 Jan, 2022 @ 10:50am 
for some reason the recipes don't seem to work on my server I did put the required mats in the cooking pot and the industrial cooker and waited but nothing seem to work.
