If someone doesnt beat me to it, probably.

Any plans to bring this to ASA? No other mod like it right now and this issue sucks.

Can you make this compatible with the mod Island Extension CIE? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2940552119

Is there a way to manualy make a dino unable to dmg the osd, wich can with the mod installed?I mean, i use moro,s indo rex, and it still does the same amout of dmg to the drop after the mods installation, can i make him unable to do so?

Isn't King Titan's corrupt element node supposed to be actually defended for 3 waves to prevent King Kaiju from restoring some HP rather than be actively attacked by players? Doesn't it make the last patch to the mod based on a suggestion from one of the previous comments go against convenience of defending it rather then helps in a boss fight? ARK wiki has a whole section on strategies for defending corrupted nodes during this boss fight. Is there an option to try and test both ways, or an optional older version download?
I remember switching to PvE settings for my shared folder 11-server cluster just because of damaging OSDs and Element Veins with no vanilla options to circumvent it. You seem to have many great mods in your workshop, Quellcrest! I appreciate your work.

Splendiferous :steamthumbsup:

It's all good and has been for like a year ;)

I saw someone made a comment about the King Titan's element veins, and then the mod was updated just 2 days after. Was that issue addressed or should I disable the mod when spawning the King Titan?

I just realized how much I need this. It'd be a shame when player's hard work gets ruined by accidently Giga Bite or shots or sword strikes.
Quellcrest  [author] 1 Oct, 2023 @ 2:49pm 
As the mod still works, yes, i'd say so. There are likely incompatible mod dinos/weapons/etc, but overall it still works for 99% of cases.

Reinstall the mod.

Did I do something wrong, I put this on a nitrado server I'm hosting and we are still able to damage the OSD's
Greygta 24 Jul, 2023 @ 8:28pm 
OSD is able to be damaged by titanosaur and a couple bigger dinos from Sid's Hybrids mod. One is giga based, but normal giga do no damage to it. Other seems to be similar to the titanosaur. On the 3 I've run into, only the left click attack does any damage, and only a couple hundred points. Right click and special attacks do no damage.

@ShunTheWitch Probably, but not something im going to do.
ShunTheWitch 8 Jul, 2023 @ 4:24pm 
would it be possible to make them not destroy structures on landing/completion?
Erkko 11 Jun, 2023 @ 7:23am 
yes i needed this lol
Quellcrest  [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 7:37pm 
If necessary.
Steven_DS 9 Apr, 2023 @ 4:42pm 
Hey Quellcrest. Will this mod be transferred to ASA?
Dark 8 Feb, 2023 @ 3:29am 
ha nice. i was just doing an osd and remembered why i hated doing them. been a few years since i've been on this map, thanks for making these features into a mod
Feralkyn 28 Jan, 2023 @ 12:49am 
Thank god for this mod.
Quellcrest  [author] 21 Jan, 2023 @ 4:03pm 
@Diejoow! Ill have to take a looksie.
Diejoow! 21 Jan, 2023 @ 3:04pm 
First of all, i love this mod. But i sadly ran into a problem. When batteling the King Titan, he spawns in high HP element veins, wich regenerate the titans HP. Sadly you cant destroy those either... In that way the King Titan becomes mad OP and is almost impossible. Could you do something to make the king titan veins destroyable? or do i have to something in the ini of my gameserver?
Quellcrest  [author] 19 Dec, 2022 @ 6:12pm 
@Spartan This doesnt actually replace osds, just the acceptable list of damage types. If it disappeared, it's not related to this mod.
Spartan 19 Dec, 2022 @ 6:08pm 
orbital supply drop disappeared after completion, anyone got this problem with this mod installed ?
Spartan 17 Dec, 2022 @ 9:08pm 
Thx for your work, now i can turn my pve server into pvp settings again !
Viper 21 Oct, 2022 @ 7:41am 
Yea its gotta be a bad install on the server. I did find that the dino culprit nuking my drops was Styrac charge from KBD. But considering we can still dmg the drops with player projectiles, its gotta just be a server side issue not the mod
Quellcrest  [author] 20 Oct, 2022 @ 8:02am 
@DarkViper Unless SS osds are somehow special on fjordur, there's no issue. I chewed on them with an assortment of random dinos, velo included, wild and tamed. Shot it with bows and rockets and tek rifles, etc...no damage. Only damaged by corrupt dinos.

I'd suggest a reinstall of the mod. If no go still, not much I can do unless you can narrow down how/why it's taking damage.
Viper 19 Oct, 2022 @ 6:20pm 
Much appreciated man, just something else too our guns are damaging the drop too. Just for context we are on Fjordur, and the OSDs are SS spawned.
Quellcrest  [author] 19 Oct, 2022 @ 5:20pm 
@DarkViper I'll fiddle with a few dino mods and see what's doing what and if possible, should be able to make it immune to all damages. Having not looked at it in sometime, not sure why it isnt immune now.
Viper 19 Oct, 2022 @ 3:54pm 
Yea thats what I was afraid, using KBD. Anyway thanks for looking into it
Quellcrest  [author] 19 Oct, 2022 @ 2:37pm 
Seems fine to me. Mod conflict of some type perhaps?
Viper 19 Oct, 2022 @ 10:20am 
Possibly trike charge hitting drops too?
Viper 19 Oct, 2022 @ 9:49am 
I should say that its also only unridden dino projectiles, while riding the Velo I cannot dmg the OSD with spines, but unridden, the spines shred the drop
Viper 19 Oct, 2022 @ 9:33am 
Hey so mod works great for dinos, really appreciate this mod on a pvpve server haha. But we are still able to dmg structures with Player projectiles and some dino projectiles, like Velos(who are just 1 shotting some osds lol)
Quellcrest  [author] 7 Aug, 2022 @ 2:30pm 
@StarkLuan Yes.
StarkLuan 7 Aug, 2022 @ 1:15pm 
Works on fjordur??
Quellcrest  [author] 23 Feb, 2022 @ 4:20pm 
Should do.
Rat Dinner 23 Feb, 2022 @ 2:57pm 
Question, does this still work?
BKJ7 1 Sep, 2021 @ 7:42am 
@Quellcrest right on, I actually just saw a post from Wildcard about it and wanted to come back and make sure no one thought this mod was at fault. Wildcard broke something again, go figure...Nice mod btw, thanks for your work!
Quellcrest  [author] 1 Sep, 2021 @ 5:48am 
@BKJ7 It's to do with mantis in general. Some WC update broke them.
BKJ7 31 Aug, 2021 @ 8:25pm 
I can't harvest the element nodes with a mantis anymore. It works fine with a pick so it leaves me to believe it has something to do with this mod. Anyone else having issues harvesting the nodes with a dino?
123 20 Jun, 2021 @ 11:59pm 
Thank you
Quellcrest  [author] 20 Jun, 2021 @ 8:25am 
@덕덕스 Common-ish bug, mostly on singleplayer I believe. It's unrelated to this mod. Fly away and come back or just wait a bit and it'll appear.
123 19 Jun, 2021 @ 10:40pm 
Where is the osd in the center?
Ignisium 14 Jun, 2021 @ 6:35pm 
you're a freaking saint, my biggest damn problem with these things is that my rex or some other tame will get stuck on the orbital whilst trying to kill something and end up erasing it from existence
Quellcrest  [author] 9 Jun, 2021 @ 9:18am 
@Valair Yes.
Valair 9 Jun, 2021 @ 8:36am 
We tried rearrange the order of the mods but I'll send to the admin what you told me !
But nothing else to parameter then ? just plug it after Simple Spawners right ?
Quellcrest  [author] 9 Jun, 2021 @ 8:23am 
@Valair Make sure SimpleSpawners is loaded before this mod. I'm like 99% sure that the order doesn't matter, but it can't hurt to be safe. After that, setup SimpleSpawners to spawn osds/element veins.
They are now safe from, I think, all attacks...except for corrupted dinos.

Maybe there are some exceptions from new things added in Gen2(I haven't tried yet), but otherwise the mod still works just fine.
Valair 9 Jun, 2021 @ 2:15am 
@QuellCrest, do you have a guide to install your mod correctly or make it match with simple spawner ?
Maybe we are doing something wrong or does your mod is up to date ?
Valair 7 Jun, 2021 @ 2:51pm 
Oh great thank you very much man :D
Quellcrest  [author] 7 Jun, 2021 @ 8:54am 
@Valair It basically just stops the veins/osds from being damaged during the event. Once you've defended it successfully, they return to normal.
