still doesnt change the fact that your a god at it, my point still stands, every other dev would just copy and past the structure, if were ever gonna get a tek fridge, your the only one to ever do it right.

@Godslayer4000 They are random stuff I pick in the Dev Kit, apply a little tweek to look a little bit better and kabum, Tek Structure :P

huh? dude idk where you got the models and animations for your tek crap but its certianly not vanilla

(unless theres like some unused textures and stuff)

id post a screenshot for proof that they are unique models but you beat me to it.

@Godslayer4000 Hum. Those structures are done using assets from Ark.

ah, my idea of a tek fridge would be supports everything and just straight up disables spoilage (or at the very least makes even an 8 second spoil time take years) and your the only guy to do original tek stuff not just say "im gonna use tek replicator model and call it a cooking pot".

@Godslayer4000 His inventory is a universal fridge, is can even preserve Wyvern Milk.

like, the tame, dang what does wolf boi do that I dont know about (besides being a badass that can cover himself in icy armor.)

@Godslayer4000 Well, basically Fenrir is the best (aka Tek) Fridge in Ark.

saddened we never got a tek fridge.

@rodney62e To you too.

merry christmas. happy holidays. and safe new year

Guys, I don't know if I'll be able to post later, so Merry Xmas to everybody.

@rodney62e No Problem.

ok thanks. i had a game glitch. and had to restart. so i am almost to the point. of needing it again lol.

@rodney62e Sorry for been late. You can override Mutton seed adding the line below in game.ini

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_PlantSpeciesR_Mutton_TekCenter_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemConsumable_RawMutton_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=True),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemConsumable_Seed_BaseVeggie_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))

ok let me know. thank you

@rodney62e Well, I don't have the sources from this mod anymore, but I'll try to add a solution for this next time I login in PC.

Yes. I do believe it is the "Tek Lab". (the one used for making seeds). I was trying to make the "Mutton plan" (i think seed r-6). but when i put raw mutton in. it still says 0 mutton

@rodney62e I don't understand, are you trying to use Raw Mutton in Tek Laboratory?

I am having a problem. with the lab telling me. that i do not have mutton in. when i do have some in it. Am i doing something wrong?

Guys, I'll take more time than expected to update the mod, as the great Dev Kit corrupted all my files, so I had to redownload the entire ADK again.
Really sorry guys. I don't even know why the Dev Kit is corrupting my mod files.

Mod updated:
Uploaded the correct version now.

Guys, my brother changed A with B and uploaded the wrong update. He uploaded the Tek Structures test instead of right one. By tonight he will upload the right one.

And by the love of God, don't craft Tek Upgrader, it is an unfinished structure in early alpha yet, it isn't in main mod yet, will only be available in future updates.

Sorry for the trouble.

Mod updated:
- Added X-Brachiosaurus (Extra Ark) and Tek Domination (Ark Additions) in Tek Laboratory Database.

@rodney62e That will tame a loooooooong time.

that would kind of be my plan. start to learn with dinos. then move on to a map. my map would have dinos be region specific to their type. as closely based to reality as i could. and of course there would be new/original dinos also lol. but like yours. mine would have a habitat. that they belong to. i have yet to play on a "mod map". but you create one. and i will give it a try

@rodney62e I use 3 different SSD, 1 NVME Adata 256GB, 1 Sata Kingston Savage 256GB and 1 Sata SanDisk 512GB. I'm not using HDD anymore, all my HDD are been used as External Compartments. I did this change mainly for use with Unreal Engine. Next stepnis get an i9 and a RTX 3060. With that I think I'll be able to create maps. Before Ark 2 release I want to create a new map: Solaris, an Ark made inside a dead star, along with a new Variant type, the Falling dinos.

@rodney62e Yeap.

i will have to look into my specs. it has been a while. since i looked haha. but i do use a Wester Digitall external

@rodney62e If your note can run Ark, and has SSD you already can start modding for Ark, ah and yas 16gb ram too.

i really want to get a PC . i use a laptop now. and it runs the games amazing. but i am not sure. if it would work for "Modding" lol. if i can ever get a pc i am going to look into it. which means alot of youtube hahaha

@rodney62e Mods can be pretty easy to do or really hard to do, that will depend on what you want to do. Make a new dino is pretty simple, but add some abilities like climb walls, dive or invisibility takes a lot of effort to do, but you must insist to whatever you want. The Ark Dev Kit isn't too heavy, with a moderate CPU and 16GB Ram at least you will be able to start some simple mods. As for mod maps, well Nasa sell some computers that can somewhat be used. kkkkkkkkk

i can not really try updated features yet. i just changed maps. got tired of the Rag lag. i wish i could learn to make MODs like you do lol

OK, for today is enough. I hope you guys appreciate the update, it make things a little easier now.

Mod updated:
- Bug fix in ApplyOtherMods command, now should add Domination Rex (Ark Additions) to Tek Laboratory Database.

@rodney62e I'm in need of money for now, I want to upgrade my PC to start learn Unreal Engine. I want to make my own games.

i remember the days. when i used to have work hours like that. luckily. i don't have to worry about that anymore. but i do miss the money haha

Mod updated:
- Added new logic to prevent item loss during the Dino Convertion, all items will be in the converted dino inventory (including saddle, weapons, etc.).
- Added integration with new dinos and variants from my mod Extra Ark, all you need is a command line.
- Added Pre-Loaded creatures from some other mods (only Ark Additions in the moment), just a command line to add them.
- Some structures will craft their items a little bit faster (about 10% faster only).
- Some visual glitches fixed.

@rodney62e yeap. I work from 8AM to 8PM, take a little rest and go to Dev Kit. It happens many times with me, but I'm fine with that. I'm working in a new structure to upgrade equipments (Weapons, Armors, Saddles), but this one is getting a little annoying to make work. Increase the Armor rate or Damage rate is simple, but in rease the item Quality is is giving me nightmares.

i think we can all say. that has happened to us at some point. or at least i can say it lol

Sorry guys. While debugging the mod I ended up sleeping in front of PC (common it was 4AM). When back home I'll upload the mod update.

Next update:
- Integration with my other mod Extra Ark (the extra variants will be in Tek Laboratory Database through an Admin Command, simple as that).
- Integration with some other popular mods through an Admin Comnand too (like garuga123's Ark Additions dinos), but it is in alpha yet, but no overhaul will be added.
- Convertion using Tek Laboratory will now drop all items in the ground (including equipped saddles and costumes), so if you forgot to remove the items fron the dino inventory, just get it on the ground 👍.
- Unfortunately the crafting speed change system from Food Processor and Chemistry Center were not implemented yet due to some bugs it was causing, but to compensate those 2 structures are a little bit faster now.
- Some little visual glitches I found while playing are fixed in next update.

@rodney62e Well, I made them somewhat based on the lower Tier Equivalent. Tek Food Processor to Industrial Cooker, Tek Resources Processor for Industrial Forge and so on. It is also to maintain the Tek Standard, some vanilla structures gets bigger when going up in tier, like Smithy, next tier is Fabricator (is a little bigger), and for the final tier Tek Replicator, while some others stay near in size like Electrical Generator and Tek Generator. It is just these 2 elements that made me imply their sizes like that. But even their size been a bit higher, there is advantages, for example with Tek Food Processor, you can remove from the base at same time Industrial Cooker, Industrial Grill, Preserving Bin and Fridge, as it does the sane things as all these structures.

so i like the additions of stuff. appearance it very nice. but can i ask. why you made a couple of them so big? makes placement a little difficult

Update tonight.

Update in few days.

@rodney62e Well, at least in my mod is easier to notice, as all engrams are level 100 +. :P

ok i will take a look. because of other mods. i do tend to miss engrams. when they show up. haha

Mod updated:
- Fixed Tek Laboratory Trigger Pulse sound effects.
- Changed Tek Laboratory Trigger Pulse visual effects colors to be less flashy.
- Added 2 new structures: Tek Food Processor and Tek Chemistry Center.
- Added a new crop: Plant Species R-6 (produces Raw Mutton over time).
- Added options to increase or decrease refining speed in Tek Resource Processor, but be aware that increasing or decreasing the refining speed also change Fuel Consumption (still experimental, some bugs may happen).
- Added new icon to Moon Flower Seed

@rodney62e Hi, the new crops seeds ( Moon Grass and Moon Flower) must be unlocked at level 105, so just unlock the Engrams (5 engram points each) and craft them in your inventory. Their crafting costs aren't too high, if I'm not mistaken Moon Grass is 1 Veggie Seed (Citronal, Rockaroot, etc) and 1 Element, and Moon Flower is 1 Veggie Seed and 1 Mutagen. I think they are worth the cost, as you will recover it over time without needing to get Mutagen in the Gen2 underground anymore, as for Element common you get plenty in nearly all maps.
