any reason why this is so ungodly huge for just a pickaxe?

Could you add your mod to the Beacon app?

Can you port this to ASA?

Привет! Просмотрел несколько модов для добычи элемента но самый оптимальный мод по добычи элемента является мод Elemental Pick, мод нельзя назвать читерным.

Hi! I looked through several mods for the extraction of an element, but the most optimal mod for the extraction of an element is the Elemental Pick mod, the mod cannot be called a cheat.

does this mod change Metal Nodes?
because if i generate some with simple spawners mod the pick doesnt work on them

After using this for a while, I found the Custom Harvesting mod here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2021297623 that basically allows you to alter any resource node to get whatever you want, including what this mod does, with a normal pickaxe. Thanks for this mod, it's been useful while I used it.

Just installed this mod on my server( The Center map) . I can confirm it is working. Element harvested/chance seems to be based on how "metal rich" the rock is. I did about 20 crystals and got green gems 3 times. If you use the "Upgrade Station" mod you can upgrade this pick using a multiplier of its base resource cost. The only thing i don't like is the inventory icon is exactly like the metal pick icon, but that is a very minor issue.

As of March 2022 works perfectly though the yield by default benefits from running it through the upgrade station a few times. Use in combination with the Element Factory and it takes all the grind and challenge out of Element farming. Now I need to find a good spot for my Tek Replicator that doesn't look weird. :)

How Do you can craft the "Metal Pick", if you don´t have element on the Server? I can spawn it ...but this is not the correct way.

I really like the idea of the mod. Really a godsend when there are few or no element nodes present. I am currently playing Lost Island where there is no element.Unfortunately the mod didn't work for me. I get no element or colored gems see screenshots. https://ibb.co/1mZH15s
https://ibb.co/RHych7BI added the ini line. Any idea what the reason may be ? I'm using 12 other mods but none that affect the resourse farming.

works perfect for me and I like the amount of element it drops, you actually have to work a little bit for it, TY for a wonderful mod!
dragonmagus13 8 Nov, 2021 @ 7:06pm 
I'm sorry, it does not collect enough element to warrant even getting the amount of element in order to craft it. Have tried on pure metal nodes as well, just not satisfied with that when there's probably some better ways for me to get lots of element. I don't know how to mess with ini settings, so please don't ask me too, and please don't come at me angrily, I am just pointing out that the amounts definitely need to be tweaked before I use again.

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, but the engram can not be learnt?

If you use the Upgrade Bench mod it'll allow you to upgrade the Element Pick.
Karmasutra 30 Jun, 2021 @ 3:11pm 
Can you make it possible so this can get upgraded somehow to better quality than primitive?
WoT Enjoyer 17 Jun, 2021 @ 6:43am 
good work

paulogat33 14 Jun, 2021 @ 7:11am 
Maybe a pick just for element ore? In addition to this Element pick?
paulogat33 14 Jun, 2021 @ 7:09am 
Please! Can you make to get Element Ore from Rock or something?? Because the Hover Skiff spends to much element to fly, and 20 element ore is like 1 Element to Hover Skiff. In Aberration is much easy to farm, but other maps dont have element ore...
EvilNecroid 9 Jun, 2021 @ 7:02am 
so where do i craft this thing? with my hands? in a smithy?
EvilNecroid 9 Jun, 2021 @ 7:02am 
@CyberGhost so u get element from cutting trees :p
CyberGhost 6 Jun, 2021 @ 10:33am 
now all you have to do is make an Elemental Axe
Buzdalys 5 Jun, 2021 @ 9:48am

Yah I figured you couldn’t go lower than one. Thanks for the response!
TraviAdpet  [author] 1 May, 2021 @ 6:28am 
Zero would reduce it but I believe anything under 1 wouldn’t do anything. Also you can edit the cost to craft I don’t have the code for it however. You can find the instructions on the ark wiki however.

If you are using a global harvest rate above one you can however reduce that to 1 and manually set each resource if your willing to put the time into custom harvest rates.

Example: global rate of x3 and a custom rate for stone of x2 is actually x6.

Hope that helps and didn’t confuse you.
Djkoe 1 May, 2021 @ 1:02am 
`HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Element_C",Multiplier=1)

Would i be able to lower it to say 0.5 so we harvest less? or would that not do anything

Also would there be a way to increase how much element it costs to make? thank you

Super praktisch - sehr zu empfehlen
Dr. DisConnect 30 Apr, 2021 @ 12:20pm 
no more problems, the fault was on steam that dont downloaded the mod properly... now it works and its quiet good for singleplayer or smalltribe.
AlphaGodith 29 Apr, 2021 @ 6:23am 
elegant solution to a lot of problems on many maps, and lovely texture to boot.
TraviAdpet  [author] 29 Apr, 2021 @ 5:12am 
@Destroya are you on a Mac? What is it that isn’t working for you?
Calmaria 27 Apr, 2021 @ 8:41am 
10-20 element with a Primitive Element Pick. More than enough. I think I would make it not harvest metal or flint though.
TraviAdpet  [author] 27 Apr, 2021 @ 7:33am 
let me know how that goes.
Calmaria 27 Apr, 2021 @ 7:30am 
I like it ;) Gonna give one to my Mantis ;)
TraviAdpet  [author] 27 Apr, 2021 @ 7:27am 
Added some screen shots to show what the Elemental Pick Looks like and how much Element you get vs Stone and Metal
Calmaria 26 Apr, 2021 @ 10:41am 
Well, the bug is in your ear now. ;)
TraviAdpet  [author] 26 Apr, 2021 @ 9:52am 
@Calmaria, that is possible something I might do in the future however it’s not that quick. I made this mod because I needed a distraction from my normal mods for a bit. That one would probably take a few days. This one took me 30 minutes from concept to release LOL.

@realmscat thanks, made it with small groups in mind that don’t want to grind boss fights but also don’t want to outright cheat their way through.
Calmaria 26 Apr, 2021 @ 9:05am 
Nice.. If your in the mind for quick mods.. How about one that upgrades tools, as you use them, the more times you repair a tool, the better it gets, amount of repair, determines (at like 10%) the amount of upgrade. Modified by crafting skill, of course.
