@TheHarmonicNinja You can see all changes in the Change Notes section. In this case, it was August lol
HarmonicSamurai/TTV 15 Jan, 2022 @ 9:47pm 
@quellcrest was that a recent update change?
Quellcrest  [author] 15 Jan, 2022 @ 5:51pm 
@TheHarmonicNinja No engrams, just crafted in the fabricator.
HarmonicSamurai/TTV 15 Jan, 2022 @ 5:26pm 
It wasn't showing the vaults in the "teachable engrams" page, when i typed "vault" or any of the sizes. it showed me either Vaults, or S+ Vaults (cuz i use structures plus) but it wasn't showing me any of the Better Vault Engrams like it used to.

Love this mod, thank you so much! I REALLY wish you would do the same thing for the fridge. :]
<!SHARK!> 11 Oct, 2021 @ 12:06pm 
This mod is convenient for me! Or maybe a refrigerator is better? =)

WOW!
Just WOW & Thanks!

Only request - more smaller sizes for the wall vault! and maybe so they also snap to foundations (side and top).

@Quellcrest what file do u put config into to change it game.ini or game users ettings.ini?
Quellcrest  [author] 25 Mar, 2021 @ 10:10am 
@DemonSpringLord It's compatible in the sense that it has nothing to do with it. If you mean, are these interchangeable with S+ dedicated storage, no. These are still just vaults, with inventories, etc, just dressed up a bit.
MoBapa 25 Mar, 2021 @ 9:52am 
Is this compatible with S+?
Bcomp2007 14 Mar, 2021 @ 3:38pm 
Maybe you can ad it as a config option? Recharge Cyropods.

simple to use . thanks:steamthumbsup:
Quellcrest  [author] 10 Mar, 2021 @ 5:15pm 
@ronlb No. It probably should though, or at least act like a fridge and slow it down.
Bcomp2007 10 Mar, 2021 @ 4:29pm 
Do cryopods recharge when placed in the vaults in fridge mode?
Quellcrest  [author] 18 Feb, 2021 @ 11:42am 
@AcidStrike If dedicated storage is enabled, it will only allow certain items into it. Example: You could set a vault to only accept raw meat and tintoberries or all saddles or just pickaxes. The videos in the carousel up above should demonstrate this.

@Slizer No. Lots of mods have lots of options for assisting in mass moving/organization. ie: S+ transfer tools.
AcidStrike 18 Feb, 2021 @ 11:01am 
What is meant by dedicated storage? I don't understand how this is different from normal storage.
[LIS]Slizer 16 Feb, 2021 @ 4:55pm 
hey great mod, leaning a bit into autopull from dino to a dedicated one maybe? :) automated ark 3 have it on the big refinery neat when transporting loads of ore
Quellcrest  [author] 16 Feb, 2021 @ 7:08am 
@JettSchae Afraid not.
JettSchae 15 Feb, 2021 @ 5:46pm 
Hello there! Is there a way to toggle the snapping on/off? Thanks for the awesome mod!
Xing 9 Feb, 2021 @ 2:13am 
Can you separate the building from the consumable category? Then create a separate building category.

Quellcrest  [author] 8 Feb, 2021 @ 9:17am 
@XingFPS Yeah, that's not going to happen. Well outside the scope of the mod.
Xing 8 Feb, 2021 @ 8:28am 
If the vault can auto pick up the set items, it will be perfect.
Quellcrest  [author] 31 Jan, 2021 @ 6:42am 
There are ways to add items to vanilla stations, but they're quite involved. I was going to make a crafting station for the vaults, but realized i could just use the vaults as one. I have no immediate plans to change that.
[RnBw] Eclipso' 31 Jan, 2021 @ 5:32am 
I might seem a bit annoying, but something else caught my attention just now: The fact that there is no engram for the medium, large vaults and wall vaults and that you have to create a small one first to craft the others.
Is it possible to add those engrams? Or if not, give us the opportunity to activate it through .ini config? (Or maybe even make it craftable through the Fabricator like the vanilla one ?)

Sorry for asking so much question ^^"
[RnBw] Eclipso' 30 Jan, 2021 @ 7:08pm 
Ok thank you :)
By the way, just clarifying my first thought: My idea was that you set 5 fixed positions, not custom positions. So you would still have control about how much icon we can set, and their exact location on the 3D model :)
(Actually, over 5 icons would be kinda useless I think lol)

Anyway, thank you for reading me and I'll follow that with interest since I installedthe modt and it's really great! ^^
Quellcrest  [author] 30 Jan, 2021 @ 5:28pm 
I'm not opposed to the icon position and maybe size as well.

Adding multiple icons is another thing though. Sure, you could reasonably have 5 icons(corners and center), but I can also just stuff 20 onto it in some ugly manner in all sorts of locations.

There are custom icons, as in an icon that doesn't respect what's stored in the vault, but it's limited to in game icons. You can also just turn off the icon :)

I'll have a think about a reasonable way to move/resize the icon. We'll see.
[RnBw] Eclipso' 30 Jan, 2021 @ 5:25pm 
And to go even further about my first idea... It could also be extended to something like:
All vaults have 5 icon position (Center and all 4 corners, might be the easiest). We could configure an icon for each position via the config of the vault, wich means that a vault could show up to 5 icons.

Example: I'd like to have a storage for Wood & Thatch, I set the dedicated storage. Enable the override icon. Set in position 1 the Wood icon and in position 2 the Thatch icon.
It would show a vault with the name "Wood & Thatch" + Wood icon in upper left corner and Thatch icon in upper right corner.

What do you think about these ideas? :)

Anyway, thank you already for your work and your pretty mod, it will be easier to maintain large quantity of items :)
Have good day/night

Hello, I'm very interested by this mod for my server. I have yet to test it but it looks amazing.
One "visual" thing I'd like to see: Different / multiple (see 2nd message) icon position.

Why this idea? First because I don't like that huge icon on the center of the vault ^^ (especially on the huge vault lol)
However if I had the possibility to put this icon in one of the corner (thus a bit smaller and less intrusive), I would do it. So I came up with the idea of a "configurable slot" for the icon to show up.

@Crown Absolutely.
Crown 15 Jan, 2021 @ 6:21pm 
Will it work with things from mods?
Quellcrest  [author] 8 Jan, 2021 @ 11:14am 
Up to date is a relative term. If you use ASM, it likes to say things are out of date, but what it really means is it hasn't been updated in some time. The real question is, does that matter? Not usually.

S+ is still getting updates though.
Tom Keks 8 Jan, 2021 @ 10:36am 
@Quellcrest Thanks for the recommendation!
I try to use as few mods as possible most of the time. Right now, my server has only 2 mods - one of them being this mod. :)
Are the S+ mods still up to date?
Quellcrest  [author] 8 Jan, 2021 @ 8:15am 
@Tom Keks I could, not sure if I will. You can basically use S+ Advanced Transfer tool to get the job done, with a lot more options. If you don't use S+, that particular tool is also in a mod called Useful Tools, along with some other...useful tools :)
Tom Keks 8 Jan, 2021 @ 12:17am 
This is just a great mod! I optimized my entire storage system with it.

Could you also add a feature for the dedicated storage? The idea: a vault function for distributed storage. I put several items in a special vault and it distributes the stuff to the dedicated storage vaults. :)
Quellcrest  [author] 3 Jan, 2021 @ 6:53am 
@[E6G]Elfinslayer There will be. I'll be updating it, today maybe, with a few fixes. That being one of them.
Elfinslayer 2 Jan, 2021 @ 11:23pm 
is there a config to allow for placement on platforms?
serenab0725 27 Dec, 2020 @ 7:08pm 
great mod
callmeChul 27 Dec, 2020 @ 2:01am 
coooool!!
Quellcrest  [author] 23 Dec, 2020 @ 7:08am 
@avelar201 No, because of exactly what you said. Once you add something like pulling, you then want configurable range, frequency, exceptions, dinos, etc.
This is purely for organization. If you use S+ and it's multi tool, you could use the advance transfer tool and tell it to dump basically everything into my dedicated vaults. Anything that's allowed in will go, anything that isn't, won't.
avelar201 22 Dec, 2020 @ 9:35pm 
i love the idea of the mod and the fact u have pics for them and all but do they auto pull resources? and could it be told to exclude some crafting stations? also can it auto pull from dinos? cuz if it does then this is the perfect mod lol
