No, currently there are no plans to move any Kanga Mods to ASA.

Will this mod be coming to Ark Ascended?

You can recycle the farm press engram picture for the extractor. An extractor would be a bucket, a mechanism and a wooden handle. We used a hand crank extractor last year and it took several hours of hand spinning before the honey was all spun out. The honey is then filtered out through a wire mesh filter to remove any wax and dead bees that were in the honey.

So, I'm a beekeeper and I've noticed that you've got it backwards. It should be that a queen cell should be required for the creation of royal jelly. 10 beeswax should make 1 block of beeswax. A queen cell should require 2 beeswax with breeding turned on. Once the queen cell is formed, then that should start the production of royal jelly. Royal jelly should not be removable whilst the queen cell is in the hive. Little extra information about real world beekeeping: beeswax blocks are generally made from burr comb (comb that bees have made outside the frame) and from the caps of capped honey cells that we cut off before putting the frames in the extractor.

@talwicca_gamer Make sure you have the Kanga Core Library first in the load order and Kanga Husbandry Second.
If possible come join our Discord and we can try and trouble shoot the issues better there.

I play on my own server using Core files and Husbandry but I stared a new server and cant seem to be able to start it even when using no other mods but them and I have deleted and re downloaded them also. Any idea what could cause the sudden problem?
talwicca_gamer 21 Dec, 2024 @ 1:46pm 
I love your mods! I have been playing ARK with them for years and I was just wondering if the Kanga Textiles mod is still in your plans? Was really looking forward to that one.
Beardo  [author] 8 Dec, 2024 @ 1:20am 
I'm unable to reproduce any crash when placing an egg in the nursery in Single Player or on a server.
Make sure you have the Kanga Core Library installed and loaded before Kanga Husbandry (Core Library must be higher in the load order)
What Type of egg was giving you issues, was it a vanilla egg or one for a mod dino?
ORY Khyra Rockwell 6 Dec, 2024 @ 12:17pm 
Hi, i think put egg in nursery can make server crash, can you verify this problem please ? ^^

Maps have a TON of space ... Keep up the awesome work!
Cadence 31 Jul, 2023 @ 11:20am 
One requested adjustment to the farm plots. Make it to where they can be placed on platforms. Ocean Platforms and RR-Floating Platforms. It very frustrating that they cannot be. Maps simply don't have enough space on land for the plots to work efficiently. Please and thank you.

Bug: Structure Fiber Break is producing vanilla Fiber instead Hemp Fiber
Diego Holls 16 Dec, 2022 @ 5:17am 
does this need kanga core?
Beardo  [author] 28 Sep, 2022 @ 4:32am 
If you are only using Kanga Husbandry, then candles have no use yet. If you also have Kanga Medical installed then they are used in there.
mandymoon89 27 Sep, 2022 @ 2:14pm 
how do you use the candles?
Squall 9 Aug, 2022 @ 4:09am 
Is there a way to butcher animals without taming them before?

For example if a server owner would decide to make arrows just be craftable with feathers - wouldn´t it be a bit unrealistic that people always had to tame a bird/dodo before being able to get the feathers?
Cadence 14 Jul, 2022 @ 3:37pm 
Just a quality of life suggestion, add a flag to the Plows so they don't get lost among the crops. I've been placing single panel banners by mine after I had trouble locating them among the grapes and sugar cane.
Beardo  [author] 13 Jul, 2022 @ 4:55pm 
There is a new mod in the works (Kanga Textiles) that will use cotton for clothing and the like. Items like a cotton gin, spinning wheels and so forth will be in there.
Cadence 13 Jul, 2022 @ 12:39pm 
Do you plan on adding a cotton gin?
catslinx 12 Jul, 2022 @ 2:56am 
This mod has been working fine until i tried to place the coop structure. Every time I place it on the ground or on foundations it crashes my game. It might have something to do with the fact I also can't use the SS pull resources function to craft one as well. I'm running a couple other small mods alongside this one but not sure which one could be causing the problem.
Lost 7 Jul, 2022 @ 1:56pm 
I've tried all the Kanga mods and like them but would like to make some changes or see if it is something you'd be willing to do. Can the incubators be set to carry more eggs at one time? In the husbandry mod, is there any way to put more babies in there without having a giant area of stalls? Also, can I program them to feed the baby all the way to adulthood?

With the blacksmith it feels like there are so many steps and very little output. I'd like to reduce the crafting mods needed for the objects it crafts Does that mod spawn special metal everywhere and if so can it be turned off, and if so, can I change ingredients to not require that rock?
Cadence 30 Jun, 2022 @ 9:22am 
Never mind, I found the blueprint codes.
Cadence 30 Jun, 2022 @ 9:14am 
Can I get the blueprint codes for the crops? I want to add them to the S+ Dedicated Storage list. Yes, I have the Kanga Storage mod, but S+ Dedicated Storage is refrigerated and has the convenience of the Intake.

Also, how do I craft breathable jars? The Farmer's Workbench isn't recognizing the water jars I put in it.
Beardo  [author] 12 Jun, 2022 @ 7:56pm 
Given it is the hunted it will only work with the tamed version and not the wild version, so if the dodo is a wild version that has been forced tamed it will not work.
I am only just getting this mod to be compatible with the hunted out of the box since it uses remapped dinos. I'd suggest joining our discord where I can explore the issue more if you need.
oneirosuchus 12 Jun, 2022 @ 7:45pm 
I do not see an option to do so. With bird in hand, it says "E to manage coop" and gives me the window with 9 slots visible, but no indication that I can place the bird in one of those slots. Long press E gives me the radial menu, but still nothing about adding the bird. It does appear to be picking up eggs from the dodos that are just standing around in front of it.
Beardo  [author] 12 Jun, 2022 @ 5:22pm 
While carrying the dodo go up to the coop, it should then give the option to place the dodo in it.
oneirosuchus 12 Jun, 2022 @ 9:23am 
Hi there, first time playing with this mod. I just made a coop, but I can't figure out how to get the birds IN the coop ... I did look on the website but saw only a description of what it does, not how to get stuff in it. If it makes a difference, these are dodos modded by The Hunted.
Cadence 11 Jun, 2022 @ 1:51pm 
Thank you.
Beardo  [author] 10 Jun, 2022 @ 5:38pm 
@leslietyler88 Press "Y" to cycle through the plants.
Cadence 10 Jun, 2022 @ 7:55am 
Admin seed finder only seems to point me in the direction of cotton and nothing else. I tested it when I had mulberry right in front of me and it directed me to the cotton way off on the main island.
Cadence 10 Jun, 2022 @ 7:54am 
I'm playing single player. But apparently, one of the mods I had been using was blocking the spawns. I cleaned out some mods I wasn't enjoying anymore and now all except wheat and garlic are spawning.
Beardo  [author] 9 Jun, 2022 @ 3:53pm 
If you are playing on a server it is intended that the crops spawns are rare as there is an entire server of players looking for them, but you can simply adjust the amount of spawns in the INI if you want more.
Also, there is an admin seedfinder you can spawn in to find them if you want confirmation that they are in fact spawning.
Cadence 9 Jun, 2022 @ 11:47am 
Haven't found hemp, licorice, mulberry, pepper, cocoa, grapes or garlic, even after re-configuring things and playing for a full day. I did find wheat, once and then never again. The other crops spawn way too frequently.
Beardo  [author] 6 Jun, 2022 @ 2:11am 
It will only snap to the hay bales in the workshop, not the single ones.
Cadence 5 Jun, 2022 @ 2:07pm 
How do I get the Pitchfork to snap to hay bales?
Beardo  [author] 30 May, 2022 @ 1:33am 
You can craft the blood buckets in your inventory from blood and a bucket.
Wild_Wyoming 30 May, 2022 @ 1:26am 
Another question, how do I get the blood in the buckets?
JackGenesisX 26 May, 2022 @ 6:50am 
level 9 fertilizer is the best?
Beardo  [author] 24 May, 2022 @ 4:12pm 
@Wild_Wyoming Farm yield is affected by many things. The quality of the fertiliser used (Kanga has 9 different fertiliser tiers), If there is a scarecrow within range, was the plot maintained or was it full of weeds along with the number of connected plots with the same plants.
Wild_Wyoming 24 May, 2022 @ 2:05pm 
I tried growing vanilla crops in the farm plots and when I harvested them I got like carrots from one plot. That seems WAY low for the effort. Am I missing something?
Iirly 20 May, 2022 @ 10:30am 
Would you consider adding an ini setting to speed up fertilizer production?
Iirly 17 May, 2022 @ 4:20pm 
ahh ok cool Thank for you for that info. I'll move my phiomia closer to the bin then. Thank you for getting back to me. Really enjoying your mods.
Beardo  [author] 17 May, 2022 @ 4:05pm 
It needs a shovel to collect, but the wooden one has a very small range, the metal one has a larger range, so 5 foundations you would need a metal one I think.
Iirly 17 May, 2022 @ 10:53am 
@Beardo. I have a shovel in my poop storage. But it's not collecting poop from the area. Does it need to be very close to the animals (it's about 5 foundations away) or Does it need to be a metal Shovel and not a wooden one? When you get the chance.
Iirly 17 May, 2022 @ 10:50am 
@JackGenesisX there is a website for this mod that explains how everything works. Actually for most of the mods in the collection. With images and stuff. If you haven't checked it out you should.
JackGenesisX 14 May, 2022 @ 6:01pm 
Tell me how much the crops improve with the fertilizers of this mod?
Beardo  [author] 13 May, 2022 @ 5:31pm 
To get a bucket of blood you will need to slaughter a tamed animal with the farmers knife. That will give you blood, have a bucket ready so you can convert it into a bucket of blood before it spoils.
pillowinhell 13 May, 2022 @ 3:55pm 
How do you get the buckets of blood?
JackGenesisX 12 May, 2022 @ 5:37am 
and I also use the mod called Lady's Food and Farming, do you think there will be any incompatibility with this mod? the mod is farm style
JackGenesisX 12 May, 2022 @ 5:34am 
these mods are very entertaining since they bring new mechanics and they do not make you as repetitive as other mods
