Thank you, Bolisaris, I'm sorry for your situation but even as silly as this is you've made many peoples' games more convenient. Go out swinging, do something fun that you've always wanted to, damn the consequences, don't let the world stop you.

Tbh thank you for all you've done with your mods. I've used them for a while and when redownloading ark and checking my mod list I saw your most recent comment. :{ I completely understand not working on stuff as much due to your diagnosis. You're a real one mango and I want you to know your work has been appreciated all this time, and you made the game QoL tweaked to be just that much better.

I am sorry but I am no longer putting in as much work as before on my mods as my bowel cancer has been diagnosed as terminal, so I only work on it as I feel like doing it, luckily no time hasz been put on the time left but it will be around a year or so. Sorry guys.

This mod make element unuseable. just disappears. cant craft it. cant withdraw it from storage
Abbafour 14 Apr, 2024 @ 1:17pm 
After testing, I discovered that you need to both unlearn and re-learn the engrams, and make a new crafting station (in this case, mortar and pestle). This is only an issue when adding this mod to a pre-existing world, and only an issue with mortar and pestle and upgrades (chemistry bench).
Abbafour 13 Apr, 2024 @ 11:54pm 
Can confirm the mortar and pestle does not show engrams; unlearning and re-learning the recipes does not fix this. Other crafting stations still work.
MonoLiion 11 Dec, 2023 @ 9:10am 
Please add a config option to change stack sizes, it's for the convenience of the people using the mod
Bolisaris  [author] 7 Nov, 2023 @ 3:39am 
Yes this mod halves the carry weights.
ARK雨落 3 Nov, 2023 @ 2:40am 
Will this MOD reduce weight?
Ghost 30 Sep, 2023 @ 4:04am 
very cool mod, thank you very much
Sakura 14 Sep, 2023 @ 4:49pm 
Thank you for all of your hard work, Bolisaris.
五颜六色的白 13 Sep, 2023 @ 10:27pm 
If I add this mod, the strider will not be able to mine materials after connecting to the storage box. Is there any way to avoid this?
Tet 12 Sep, 2023 @ 5:48pm 
Mod is mostly functional but I also cannot craft engrams in the mortar and pestle.
Bolisaris  [author] 9 Sep, 2023 @ 9:51am 
@ Palarazer - I have NEVER said my mod was better then others I would not be so arrogant, all I said was I would update regularly as long as I am able which I will, please do not put words in my mouth, as for the mortar & pestle they work fine for me and unless others say there is a problem I will not be changing anything.
Palarazer 8 Sep, 2023 @ 6:45am 
You said your MOD would be better than others, but the problem with the mortar and pestle is still there. I can't see any engrams on the right side and can't create items in the mortar
I ask for correction
RIN ITOSHI 24 Aug, 2023 @ 12:48pm 
W mod, keep advertising in other sections if u want, we players just care about finding a working mod 💪
Bolisaris  [author] 22 Aug, 2023 @ 7:04am 
Ok just tested this on my server and reds are appearing as they should, if you find they are not let me know.
Bolisaris  [author] 22 Aug, 2023 @ 6:36am 
errr NO, for some reason reds are still not showing but I am working on it.
Lemur 22 Aug, 2023 @ 5:26am 
soo, its fine now?
Bolisaris  [author] 22 Aug, 2023 @ 5:24am 
Re-added the red gem that was inadvertently removed.
Bolisaris  [author] 21 Aug, 2023 @ 9:24am 
@ Lemur - I will take a look.

@ RunToPluto - Thank you it is always nice to get positive feedback as well as negative ones.
RunToPluto 20 Aug, 2023 @ 1:54pm 
I just wanted to say I genuinely respect you for promising to keep the mod updated, that's a lot of work and you (author) are awesome for that
Lemur 11 Aug, 2023 @ 3:52pm 
i would like to report that new update caused red gems dissapeard, also they dont stack for some reasons
Valkyrie and Banshee 10 Aug, 2023 @ 4:28pm 
Only thing I have to report is it seems Red Gems are also un-referenced, they stack in 100's and what little we had on my server disappeared (not a big deal).
Valkyrie and Banshee 9 Aug, 2023 @ 11:43am 
Currently moving my cluster to a NVMe, after that I will definitely give it a test. Thank you for your efforts.
Bolisaris  [author] 9 Aug, 2023 @ 11:37am 
Okay, all references to element has been removed from the mod, all seems to be working fine now.
If you find it is not then let me know please.
Bolisaris  [author] 9 Aug, 2023 @ 9:08am 
yeah I am leaving it as is after I check this on my server.
Valkyrie and Banshee 8 Aug, 2023 @ 2:02pm 
The 2pm (CST) update seems to have fixed the issue with the Tek Sword and Tek Bow. Also was able to craft the Tek Canteen (didn't really notice before, but wasn't able to craft that a few days ago)

Hopefully a way can be found to make Element and Shards stack higher without it interfering with things.
Bolisaris  [author] 8 Aug, 2023 @ 12:16pm 
I will test this tomorrow as I am feeling very tired, (not looking for sympathy here, just stating fact) My cancer diagnosis was upgraded to terminal this morning, not sure how long I have until I see my Oncologist, but I will defo test this tomorrow.
Bolisaris  [author] 8 Aug, 2023 @ 12:08pm 
I am working on it, all references to elements has been removed from the mod as well as the Tek Canteen, if that does not sort it then this mod is conflicting with another, I will test on my server, SP mode works fine.
Valkyrie and Banshee 8 Aug, 2023 @ 11:40am 
Was working normal last night, but after the update this morning (North America), it has at least affected Element and Shards being used as ammo.
Valkyrie and Banshee 8 Aug, 2023 @ 11:35am 
Can no longer use Element or Element Shards for my Tek Sword or Tek Bow.
Bolisaris  [author] 8 Aug, 2023 @ 9:05am 
Defo my mod causing this, I will take a look see what I have done.
Disappointment 7 Aug, 2023 @ 12:30pm 
For some reason this mod is causing me to not be able to craft unstable element, unstable element shards, or tek canteen. It keeps telling me i must learn the engram yet I have learned it and still no change.
Bolisaris  [author] 14 Jul, 2023 @ 4:09am 
Yes works with S+
Sauron 13 Jul, 2023 @ 7:50pm 
Does this mod work with S+?
Bolisaris  [author] 12 Jul, 2023 @ 5:09am 
I have decided NOT to redo this mod to change the weights as I would really have to start the whole mod again and that would take some weeks, I am looking to see if there are any ini settings that could be used so you can change them yourself. Sorry about that.
Bolisaris  [author] 11 Jul, 2023 @ 9:46am 
I will take a look and see if it is worth the effort, I do not want your money as I do this for fun and do not have a donation button anyway, watch this space just in case :)
Genocide 9 Jul, 2023 @ 12:56am 
If I throw you like 20 bucks can you just reupload the same thing but with weight maybe only like 10-20% reduce. Stacking has always been a great idea but I think its god awful when reducing the weight so much and just ridiculous carrying so much on one person. There is actually a hole in the community where people want stacks for the Prime and everything else but want 0 weight reduction. Small Resources use to be the go to but they havent updated in years so thats another one you can look into.
Bolisaris  [author] 23 Jun, 2023 @ 7:41am 
Updated today to the new 358.6 version of the game.
Bolisaris  [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 2:17am 
If you are referring to the message below then no the issue will not be remedied as they use different custom engrams as I explained.
Zzz 5 Apr, 2023 @ 11:18am 
will the s+ issue also exist when using ss? and has the issue been fixed?
Bolisaris  [author] 3 Jan, 2023 @ 1:13pm 
As I have explained the S+ Chem Bench and the S+ Fabricator uses custom engrams that I cannot duplicate, there is nothing I can do about this problem.
ltrickey7 1 Jan, 2023 @ 9:27am 
Also, while trying to make a chem bench as a substitute for the mortar and pestle, I found that I cannot craft polymer or electronics in the fabricator.
ltrickey7 1 Jan, 2023 @ 9:07am 
I was having a similar problem with another stack mod, but I can't see any engrams in the mortar and pestle.
Archer 27 Dec, 2022 @ 9:34am 
Hello Bolisaris, can you check if the Tranq Shock dart is a Substitude für the Tranq Dart, evberytime we craft the Shock dart it keeps consuming the Shock darts if we dont take them out
Bolisaris  [author] 20 Dec, 2022 @ 11:25am 
I will check but I am sure it does.
juggtok employee 20 Dec, 2022 @ 6:31am 
Or does it not work in singleplayer?
Bolisaris  [author] 20 Dec, 2022 @ 4:10am 
Firstly, this mod DOES NOT replace anything the engram is copied then the stack size altered then the original engram is superseded by the new altered one, so no resources are replaced at all.

Secondly I have tested this without my mod and both the vanilla M&P and the S+ M&P both worked, I also tested this with both my mod and S+ running and the vanilla M&P and S+ M&P both worked, the only things that do not work with my mod are the S+ Chem Bench and S+ Fabricator, this is because of S+ mod engrams that my mod cannot access.
juggtok employee 18 Dec, 2022 @ 8:54pm 
Quick question, this stacks mod must be used with S+? Don't use it and the normal pestle and chem bench can't craft anything
