Just a question, how do I make the fish baits?
Dutch 22 Nov, 2023 @ 2:51pm 
I can't seem to make the potion's at the fireplace? I have fuel and the ingredients...

I would so love to see a standalone potions/foods mod. I love the shrink balm and the leapfrog potion so much! And the others! Be fun to add them to other servers, but I don't have room for an 1800mb mod on a lot of them.

Hi Bunny! Me again :)
I was curious if you may be willing to make a 'potions only' version, one without all the extra decor options? I like the decor, but on servers with other big mods already, it's more loading times for each mod over 1gb. Not to put pressure on ya to make one ofc! I merely thought it would be much smaller without the extra models that don't serve a crafting purpose so we can enjoy the custom foods/potions by themselves.
Songbird 5 Mar, 2023 @ 8:40am 
Ah, gotcha, thanks!
Kymera  [author] 5 Mar, 2023 @ 7:44am 
yeah it has to be pipe irrigated...it essentially is a reskinned industrial cooker
Songbird 4 Mar, 2023 @ 10:22pm 
What's the trick for crafting potions in the witch's fireplace? We put in ingredients and fuel and a water jar and fired it up and it didn't work. Does it need to be snapped to pipes like an indy cooker or something?
Songbird 26 Feb, 2023 @ 8:25pm 
If you do make a standalone, it might be fun (just an idea for you!) to include the wall shelf or a variation of it too, for potions storage, and make it extend the spoil timers of the perishable ones.
Songbird 26 Feb, 2023 @ 8:24pm 
Oh my bad, just read the change notes lol, I didn't notice you'd already released an update! I thought it was still in the works, wow you are fast! :-)
Kymera  [author] 26 Feb, 2023 @ 1:45pm 
It doesnt require fuel should be any consumable gets a much longer shelf life....I added the 500 slots when i updated the other day so you could have storage :) ...I never thought about making a stand alone but it wouldn't be hard to do so i can look into making the potions and rp drinks and stuff into a much smaller mod....I think when i tested it the shrink balm actually made the hit box smaller but its been a while so dont quote me haha
Songbird 26 Feb, 2023 @ 11:50am 
Also, ignore what I said before about changing slot counts... I just discovered the bowls and kitchen pots and stuff have 500 slots each! So I don't think storage will be a problem lol.
Songbird 26 Feb, 2023 @ 11:49am 
By the way, the potions are so fun and amazing... is there any chance you'd consider making the cauldron and/or witches' fireplace and potions a standalone mod, for those who don't have 1900 mb to spare? I've been having so much fun lately with the shrink balm... one question, is it just a visual effect, or does it actually shrink the dino and rider? Like is the hitbox actually smaller, will they fit in spaller spaces?
Songbird 26 Feb, 2023 @ 11:46am 
ahhh ok that makes sense! Thanks Bunny! Is it like the in-game preserving bin that requires sparkpowder, or more like the pantries in some other mods that don't require fuel but extend spoil timers?
Kymera  [author] 25 Feb, 2023 @ 3:18pm 
the planter boxes arent actual growing plants...its just aesthetic preserving bin basically ...there are variants that show the different plant options in your E wheel
Songbird 25 Feb, 2023 @ 3:00pm 
How do you use the planter boxes? Do they only work with Lady's Food and Farming?
Kymera  [author] 20 Feb, 2023 @ 5:34pm 
Ok thanks to Eddy I can now make updates without the new mod. Im glad you enjoy the mod and let me know if you have anymore issues :) <3
Songbird 20 Feb, 2023 @ 1:47pm 
I tried out some of the potions on my most recent stream, the leapfrog potion is so fun!!! I noticed it works if you feed it to creatures it works on them too! My horse was jumping so high! Unfortunately, the horse was still subject to fall damage, so people will want to be careful about that. The shrink balm was super fun too! Turning my horse into a little pony lol. That could still run as fast as a full size horse... a super speedy little pony! And I turned into a little hobbit when I would get into the saddle! So much fun.
Songbird 20 Feb, 2023 @ 1:45pm 
ok sounds good! Red Dwarf might be a good one to ask, his discord has lots of different modders in it and they are all very kind and helpful, and I know he has helped Eco and others with decor mods.
Kymera  [author] 19 Feb, 2023 @ 6:19pm 
SIGH, Unfortunately when updating it created a whole new mod. Ill ask around and see if there is a way to remedy this. Otherwise this mod can no longer receive updates, but i will make the new one public if people would like to switch it out, once i get some answers. This one will remain up and functional
Kymera  [author] 19 Feb, 2023 @ 4:26pm 
Oh odd, i too just tested it and you are right it is not working....again i can look into it but if the upload doesnt go to the existing mod then unfortunately i cant fix but it def was functional previously haha
Songbird 16 Feb, 2023 @ 10:23pm 
Oh and I just saw your question to the earlier person who asked about the mortar and pestle. We are playing on Caballus. I also tested the mod on the Island before adding it to this server, but I was doing a very basic test just to make sure it worked as a decor mod, I didn't actually test the crafting stations.
Songbird 16 Feb, 2023 @ 10:14pm 
By the way here is the stream video if anyone wants to see this mod in action. https://youtube.com/live/r9UMWTmEdNA?feature=share
Songbird 16 Feb, 2023 @ 10:11pm 
Thanks so much Bunny for the reply! If you don't have the files and can't update this one that's ok, I'll just use it for decor, it was just a thought. :-) Another thing, by the way, the mortar and pestle doesn't work. You can see the engrams in it, and put in the resources, but it doesn't give the option to craft them. It's grayed out, as if it was waiting for fuel to be put in or something. It's still pretty as a decoration though.
Kymera  [author] 16 Feb, 2023 @ 11:13am 
@songbird I can try to update the mod if my files are still in tact. I switched computers so i dont know if everything ported over correctly to update to this mod or if i will be forced to make an entirely new mod but i will try to increase storage one way or another
Songbird 11 Feb, 2023 @ 12:56pm 
I am loving this mod so much! Using it in my current saturday streaming series. I was wondering though, is there an ini option to increase the slot count of the structures? I'd love to be able to use them for actual practical storage, but almost all the structures have only 15 slots. I'd love to be able to configure that.
Kymera  [author] 1 Dec, 2022 @ 9:34pm 
@abscureprodigy No there should be no fuel it is just a reskinned base ark mortar...I havent had any issues with it crafting, what map are you on?
Kymera  [author] 1 Dec, 2022 @ 9:33pm 
@quasidivine unfortunately i dont know how to make creatures yet, i am very new to modding so decor is the best i can offer you at this point :) but i am happy that you enjoy the mod.
Quasidivine 30 Nov, 2022 @ 12:43pm 
I love this mod so much..Could you make the fairies tamable creatures. Maybe with like special healing or defence abilities depending on thier color?
Abscura 8 Nov, 2022 @ 3:10pm 
The mortar and pestle wont craft anything. Is there a fuel of some kind?
Captain Brat 20 Sep, 2022 @ 1:20pm 
That fixed it, though it wasn't showing up until I unsubbed/resubbed to force the update, if anyone else has this issue. Thank you again, Bunny, and for the awesome mod!
Kymera  [author] 19 Sep, 2022 @ 7:35am 
@captain Brat I have found the missing mandrake root, it is made in my mortar and pestle, so sorry for the confusion i thought i had all the custom recipes together but as it is just a child of the lesser antidote that makes sense. hope this helps :)
Captain Brat 17 Sep, 2022 @ 8:52am 
@Bunny Thank you for the response! Seems I need to learn more about INI myself too, hahaha!
Kymera  [author] 16 Sep, 2022 @ 6:28pm 
@doyoucme im so happy you like the mod im looking at updating it and also adding a sister mod for it, as this one is quite large already
Kymera  [author] 16 Sep, 2022 @ 6:27pm 
@captain Brat i am so sorry it would seem you are correct that the mandrake root was missed in this last cook i will enable it once more when i update. As far as INI options im not too versed in how to create those effectively so most likely would not be implemented anytime soon. But you can limit the potions and ingredients through ini normally without mod specific values being created.
doyoucme 4 Sep, 2022 @ 12:33pm 
This Mod is Rock's !!! It has so much going for it. Have to love the visual's. Variants on almost all the items just made me want more. And able to make potion and food. looking forward to seeing what you add next. the utility make's it that more desirable.
Captain Brat 3 Sep, 2022 @ 11:40am 
Used the mod in several servers, and I love what you've created!

A small issue I, and a few other server admins on my team, confirmed Mandrake Root isn't available to craft in the Fireplace like you mentioned previously. The only way to obtain it currently is via admin spawning, which isn't ideal for making it available for our players.

Is it possible an INI may be created for this mod? It would be amazing to have, so we can limit certain potions to fit within our server themes!
SpaceGhost 15 Aug, 2022 @ 3:08pm 
i love that you put the mods you used in the pictures thank you so much!! :steamhappy:
Kymera  [author] 13 Aug, 2022 @ 8:41pm 
Wood should work for the fireplace :)
BeckxMedusa 8 Aug, 2022 @ 2:55pm 
Hello!
So I’m using the mod for the first time now, and try to make some elixers.. but the witch’s fireplace says it needs fuel.. and I tried to put gasoline in it but it doesn’t work.. what do I put in there??
Kymera  [author] 22 Jul, 2022 @ 3:47am 
haha yeah the pick up thing is not intended at all, ill have to look and see why its having the lasting effect to dinos picked up. thank you for letting me know. Im still fairly new to modding so might take me a bit to work it out
Kandria 16 Jul, 2022 @ 5:22pm 
I love this mod, but just one, sort of bug?
When a flyer that is shrunk, picks up a dino, it shrinks them too (makes sense)
However once dropped, the dino stays small
This means in testing and picking up the same dino 5+ times results in a dino that is the size of my players toe or smaller.

I mean at this point it takes quite a bit of aim to grab the little sucker, but it's funny to see something that is smaller then *any* baby dino I've raised (and I've raised fjord hawkes, and other tiny tiny babies) trot around.

Not sure if that's intended or not but just FYI

(I did figure out equipping and un-equipping the shrink-costume, does reset the size to normal)

This seems to effect wild, and tame dinos, both.
Kymera  [author] 14 Jul, 2022 @ 11:25am 
no there are no ini configs available
BoomChook 14 Jul, 2022 @ 11:06am 
is there an ini insert for this mod?
Kymera  [author] 20 Jun, 2022 @ 8:34am 
in the witches fireplace
amareto68 10 Jun, 2022 @ 11:14pm 
Where or how do I get the mandrake root for the potions?
Kymera  [author] 28 May, 2022 @ 5:06pm 
No there is nothing wrong with the mod, i am unsure as to why its not showing size, but it is a rather large mod, i believe 3G
Deklatis 25 May, 2022 @ 2:20pm 
Is there something wrong with the mod? It says 0 MB?
Kymera  [author] 11 May, 2022 @ 7:09pm 
i just posted all the engrams and spawn codes :)
Luna2127 10 May, 2022 @ 11:10am 
oh sweet! btw are there any engram entrys?
Kymera  [author] 9 May, 2022 @ 8:21pm 
Yes the plan is to add more potions, i got injured pretty badly recently but will be working on the mod again shortly :)
