Hello, sorry, the images of the objects I put inside the container don't appear.
Hi I have a question and if you could convert it, would be very nice. You can use the “Tek Stryder” on Genesis 2, but it seems that you can't put the farmed items from the Tek Stryder in the BULK crates in the BULK crates.

@Sukotto82 Im guessing you are playing ASA ?
this is the ASE version

you can look at the Mods Manifest file for all the info needed or join the Discord and grab the Role for Bulk Storage and then look at the Google Sheets i have for the mod

Is there a gfi spawn command for the bulk box?

I had this mod and KJ dedicated storage installed I primarily used KJs Bulk storage because they are far cheaper to make for early game but now the items don't display.
Instead it has a pink square.

I want to replace all kj storage with bulk storage but even the first tier of wood cost way too much to be able to craft enough to replace the other bulk storages.

I primarily used this bulk storage mod for the auto farming because they are too expensive to build for primarily storage.

I love this mod! Is there a difference between metal bulk storage vs the tek version aside being 3x the size?:steamthumbsup:

Some items will disappear, such as black and white pearls

I installed the mod on my server yesterday and after that I could no longer pick up stuff. I am used to pick up anything I want, walls, benches, furniture, foundations, etc. The option to pick stuff up simply disappeared from the radial menu. I uninstalled the mod and everything truned back to normal. I am using the follwing mods (in load order): Dino Tracker, Upgrade Station, Super Spyglass, Structures+ & Kraken better Dinos.

Any suggestions how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Odd, the INI settings didn't work for me. Also, the Open Bins aren't limited to the item that they appear to store, they can store anything and everything. I was hoping they'd work similarly to the bulk storage boxes and prohibit items outside their visual storage.

I placed the Bulk Storage Crafter on a raft, and the Crafter functionally disappeared after placing. It still occupied space visually, but I can't interact with it and can't remove it even with a third-party removal tool (which targets all the structure behind and underneath it as if it's truly not there). It's there but it's not there... where's a GhostBuster when I need one? I'm guessing that I can probably place something else in the same space now so that it's not wasted and I don't have to rebuild the raft from scratch to get rid of it(?), but as I write this I haven't tried it yet.

By the way The-God-Of-Noise I don ' use S+ or any variant of it because of the size of the mod and all of the stuff in it I prefer smaller mods with the stuff I want to use and I don"t have a problem with using a transfer gun to transfer everything to the Auto sorter box then transfer what I don"t wont sorted to another box. Good trade off for the size and all the other stuff I don"t use.
Thank you for keeping your mod size down.
Grumpy Old Man 21 Aug, 2023 @ 6:49am 
There is a Bulk Storage Auto Sorter box that you put every thing in and will send it to the box with the same items that are in the box. But nothing that pulls everything off the Dino or you.
KILL3RTHECLOWN 20 Aug, 2023 @ 9:03pm 
is there a remote Bulk Storage Auto Sorter?
Vas 11 Aug, 2023 @ 11:09am 
I have one more thing, can you give a list of the Engram Overrides and their default values? (EP/Lv)

I run my server in whitelist mode for engrams because it would drop down to 2FPS otherwise due to a bug in base game that can't ever be fixed (or won't). So I have to whitelist every engram before it can be used.
Vas 11 Aug, 2023 @ 9:56am 
Alright then, I was just hoping for the primitive version of automatic sorting without dismounting and moving everything to a box. :P But the box is fine.
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 11 Aug, 2023 @ 1:51am 
@Vas
no if i wanted that i would have added that instead of the box ?
if you want a stick then use S+ or what ever else you want that has that stick
Vas 10 Aug, 2023 @ 10:34am 
Interesting. Any chance you can make an auto sorting stick that you hit with your dino or click E on to sort the inventory of the thing that activated it? I know your sort box does it, I just like the convenience of smacking a stick when I walk into my base and such.
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 10 Aug, 2023 @ 1:35am 
@Vas from scratch
Vas 9 Aug, 2023 @ 7:50pm 
Ah. I was just hoping for a stick that your dinos could hit as they pass it to deposit their inventories into the storage network. I assume you started this using S+'s source code? Seems the easiest way to duplicate the dedicated storage network. Unless of course you coded your own version from scratch?
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 9 Aug, 2023 @ 5:49pm 
@Vas not a stick you hit no but it has a Auto sorter box that sends everything in it to the Bulk Storage Boxes (if there is a box for the resource)
all engrams should be listed so you can override the levels for them if you want
Vas 9 Aug, 2023 @ 3:49pm 
So does this include a "hit me stick" that sends everything to the dedicated storage boxes you've made? So I can use this early game prior to SS Dedicated Storage tek stuff with automatic sorting by using the stick that you wack to send everything to the right containers?
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 5 Jul, 2023 @ 10:58am 
@calaw55 because it sorts everything
all engrams can be overridden so you can choose what level you want it at
i just set it high because i wanted to balance it
as for crafting costs unlock it and see
calaw55 5 Jul, 2023 @ 9:06am 
Bulk Storage Auto Sorter-Why such high level to get? What does it take to craft it? (blacked out in engrams so can't read)
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 3 Jul, 2023 @ 2:44am 
@ezT4rget the range is 25 foundations messured from the Bulk Storage Box
its not the sorter that sends to the Box but the Box that pulls from the sorter :)
the range can not be changed right now but it might be a feature that will be added :)
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 29 Jun, 2023 @ 10:19pm 
@AuroraPhoenix44 The Tek version of the Bulk Storage box is cooled and it has the same spoil timers as s+ dedicated

as for spoiled meat from boxes they get deleated because the boxes only accepts 1 type of item
AuroraPhoenix44 29 Jun, 2023 @ 4:38pm 
This mod is great, and I'm thinking of using it on my server, but it could really use a (refrigerated) storage chest for the metal variant.

I was also wondering if there could be a setting to change how long the refrigerated metal versions keep perishables for, since in a normal refrigerator you can add preserving salts and it extends the spoil time by a not insignificant amount.

Last but not least, I haven't been able to track down what happens to spoiled meat when it is generated in other boxes. Does it get transferred, or is it lost forever?
Talyn 6 Jun, 2023 @ 7:17pm 
@KR1LL3N Putting dedicated storage on rafts causes massive Rubber banding of the server. I would avoid it. I played with mobile raft bases and always had to abandon dedi storage due to this. Same goes with Lots of anything that generates resources like Crops and Bee Hives.
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 30 May, 2023 @ 1:26am 
@KR1LL3N yeah i have thaught about making a Invisible structure that snaps to foundations that the boxes snap to
would help with placing the boxes straight and also help in your case and still have the option to place where ever a player wanted :)
KR1LL3N 29 May, 2023 @ 2:09pm 
Is it possible to make it so we can place on rafts? My server is doing a nomadic style server where we can only build on something that moves. We can't use the mod in its current state due to not snapping to the structure or it not requiring a foundation. When I place one of them, it just places on the water and gets left as we walk/raft away.

OMG this is exactly what I have been looking for my sp
Merlin 10 May, 2023 @ 12:54pm 
@The-God-Of-Noise okay thank you for the quick reply also thank you for the mod its awesome
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 10 May, 2023 @ 8:53am 
@Merlin No there is not
Merlin 10 May, 2023 @ 8:00am 
i'm loving this mod and use it on single player one question is there a way to increase the range of the auto sorter to make it map wide. i want to take it and use it when i'm farming resources like stone etc without having to go back and forth across the map
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 9 May, 2023 @ 1:39am 
@JUSTIN MCNEAL i personaly use s+ and the omni tool for things like that on my servers and that has a pull system also that can pull from all inventorys in the game
ttv/smojo1 8 May, 2023 @ 8:26pm 
is there a mod or a way to auto pull resources from dinos into the auto sorter? or maybe be able to connect these to smithies or forges
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 8 May, 2023 @ 12:33pm 
@Issyecatwhisperer did you put things in to the boxes ?

the Icon is determind from the resource put in to the "Bulk" boxes so the first item you put in a box locks the box to that resource and puts the icon on the box :)
Grumpy Old Man 8 May, 2023 @ 7:12am 
My bad I was told by another moder that you had to delete the folder.
Issyecatwhisperer 8 May, 2023 @ 2:15am 
Hey i download this mod.i can craft all items-but i havent the icon on front of the boxes what have i done wrong?I copy the init files in my game ini on my server .
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 2 May, 2023 @ 12:05pm 
@dayneh no need to delete the folder the process of unsubbing and resubbing forces steam to donwload the newest version regardless of what is on the pc to begin with

but yes steam can be realy bad at downloading the latest version automaticly sadly
Grumpy Old Man 2 May, 2023 @ 11:23am 
Some times you have to unsubscribe from the mod and resubscribe .
First delete the mod folder and the .mod file then unsubscribe and resubscribe.

The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 28 Apr, 2023 @ 11:19am 
@^0Snowdrift^4Hunter Thank you for the kind words :)
Snowdrift Hunter 28 Apr, 2023 @ 8:07am 
Where has this mod been all these years? This is an amazing mod. Thank you for making it!
MuadDib_2 25 Apr, 2023 @ 10:12am 
Hello sorry to be a bother but where dose steam put the ini files for workshop mods at? I'm having bit of a problem finding them or are they a thing for servers only?
Nmbr 5 12 Apr, 2023 @ 12:40pm 
PvP ruins everything
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 11 Apr, 2023 @ 6:56am 
@Nmbr 5 wont be good for servers running PVP
they have to be destructable in that case
Nmbr 5 10 Apr, 2023 @ 10:07am 
if you made them indestructible then being over 600 is not an issue.
Gagi 9 Apr, 2023 @ 11:58am 
Hm, I'll try it out tonight with Tek genny, I've been using the castle & keep modern mod gen as it comes with wireless electric which didn't power the boxes, cheers
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 4:59am 
@Gagi just like you power Any electrical structure in ark with a generator or tek generator
Gagi 8 Apr, 2023 @ 7:53pm 
Hey mate, how am I supposed to " power " them so they act as fridge?
The-God-Of-Noise  [author] 7 Apr, 2023 @ 12:06pm 
@LeniuPL thanks for the kind words :D i Will update the mod as soon as I can to fix the UI issue
