I love this mod, make life so much easier trapping dinos, but like Schott said, i have the same feeling. Its too easy. I ride my dino, i charge on a Giga and trap it and run a bit and voila.

What i would like if it is possible, is that you Cannot put trap down if a Dino is near a certain Radius, even if its the radius of the Trap itself, it would enough.

@Scramble I said CACHA not GACHA, the giga replacement NOT the eat everything but shit raccoon.

Gacha is easy done untrapped. You just need to drop items near them nonstop, they won't leave as long as there are things to eat. If they start to move to the edge of where you have dropped items, pick them up yourself and place them back down near the gacha.

While still completely unrealistic you can carry them, these traps makes more sense than you being able to build a castle-sized building around the dino in 2 seconds. They don't add anything new to the easy of the trapping to tame.

@schott its almost like thats the whole point of the mod or something, fascinating, also NO dino in the game NEEDS to be trapped to be tamed (with the possible exception of the cacha)

I have tamed every damn dino in this game ranging from a dodo to a full blown giga without traps, it is not required, this mod just lets me tame things without tracking them halfway across the map, but you never NEEDED to trap dinos in this game in the first place (with the possible exeption of the cacha i havent tried him yet)

What are the crafting costs of the behemoth trap?

Thats actually my fav part.

I do like this mod, its just a shame that it can be used to cheese trapping dinos, just by placing the trap around the dino. Otherwise a very cool mod :P

Ah Alright fair enough. I’ll message you.

Sorry, life has gotten me by the nose these days.

Request accepted.

Commission work? Well, I can take any idea and try to make it, as long as it's in my abilities to work on and/or am interested in. I won't ask for any money and stuff though.

Do you do any commission work? I sent a friend request.

After experimenting with this mod and a few others more, I think I can make a second showcase video for it.I am gunna be messing with other mods for awhile so I might think of even more cool combinations.

Here is the group if you want to join. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/RaosModShowcasesReviews

I have also now made a group for showcases and reviews if you or anyone is interested.

Yeah it is something that I think I would have some fun doing. I used to be a beta tester for a few mods. So I enjoyed breaking mods and pushing limits to see what work they needed.

If it's something you would like to make and have the time for it, then I say go for it.

If it fits into your style or what you'd like to do or try out, shoot.

I have no issues at all if you include this mod in it.

If you like I can do a review of your mod, pros/cons, and give information for improvement.

Awesome!

I wish you success and I'll def keep an eye out for your content.

No problem. Yeah in the beginning I had switched the name from Hunter Traps to Hunting Traps. Lol. Since most mods I hadn’t experienced yet, I can’t exactly have an idea well enough on what to expect. I am talking in general here as many of the newer mods don’t have a overly detailed description, and lacks pictures. There are mods that have just picture. Mods like that and this one, that look or sound really cool from what is posted, are the ones I am doing the showcases on.

I will take these ideas on and improve my videos. In relation to PRO/CON/FLAWS of mods, I could do a review of the mods. As this was just a showcase (showing it off). I personally think a review is when you do the PRO/CON/FLAWS of a mod.

I am also considering making a Steam group for both Showcases and Reviews.

I have done it!
The video has been added.
Thank you for taking the time to make it. ^_^

1 thing that I might suggest for future videos is this:
-At the intro, when you mention the name of the mod, it would be nice to follow it up with a brief summary of what to expect from it before jumping right in. Like: "We are checking out the mod Hunter Traps. It let's you make and place cages to help ya out in catching creatures so you can tame them easier. Now, let's check these things out." and then segway into showing it off.

Another thing that would be interesting though not essential is maybe a PRO and CON to the mod at the end? I'm unsure.

That last one is fidgety though, cuz not everyone is open to criticisms.

I'm fine with it. It helps me see flaws that I could improve upon.

Anyway, thank you. :)

Here is the link, idk if Steam will remove it.
https://youtu.be/YNqfszbwqJE

If there are other Ark mods you would like me to try to make showcase videos on I can see about doing that as well.

Also if you want ideas for other mods or this one, I have no issue with that.

It will go live tomorrow at 3pm pst so I will send it about then. If you have ideas or input for it to be better let me know.

That's neat! :o

I think I can add it easily enough with the link.

Send it over whenever and I'll check it out and do the thing. ^_^

I made a short showcase video for this mod if interested in adding it to the page.

Yeah, I plan on adding it over there.

hey question will this be in ark survival ascended?

I mean, just bribe someone to edit crafting inis for you, but IMO the prices are beyond fair, these cages CANNOT break, so you really only ever need to craft it once. and if you have the 30s pickup time for structures dm me and il give you a "game.ini" to remove it.

Great mod but i wuld like to be able to change the cost of cages

Heyyyy nice mods really. How to change the cost of cages ?

Nice! Glad I could help recommending a mod ^_^

Yahoihoi im actually still in the market for a mod like that so im gonna check out random configs aswell lmao.

I added both mods and everything seemed ok.

My cages were available in the engrams list.

I did, however, place both mods at the bottom of my mod list (since i added them just now, they went to the bottom right away)

One of those mods specified it's best to do that.

I think it was: Monte's Engram Unlocker

These two mods seem to have the same purpose, from what I could read:
-DLC & TEK Engram Unlocker
-Monte's Engram Unlocker

You might wanna decide between one of them and not use both, I think.

I personally use the mod called: Random Configs

It has ini options to control engram unlock features and some other nice ones you and others might enjoy and save on mod space.

I think it replaced like 4 mods that I had lol

I have had no issue in general with it nor with this mod I made.

S+ should be fine since I added compatibility with the smithy in it, though i still need to add it into the replicator as well.

These following two are unknown to me, so I will check them out and see what's up.
DLC & TEK Engram Unlocker
Monte's Engram Unlocker

Hello mods I have installed that could make a conflict:
DLC & TEK Engram Unlocker
Structure S+
Monte's Engram Unlocker
And I have the forge S+ I'll see with the normal forge if it's in, thank you.
Thank you

No, they should be there in your engram list to learn.

Try searching with the word "cage" and see if they show up.

I think a few people mentioned this problem and it might be related to some other mods.

If you can't craft it in the smithy after learning it, this might mean the smithy might be a modded smithy, from what I have been told.

Do you have certain mods that affect how engrams are shown to you?

If you can, post in the bugs section any details you think could help me replicate your situation.

Hello, for the cages do we have to have them by admin order? by code? because I can't find it in the engrams? Thank you very much

cool

its likely an issue with primal fear then, PF is an overhaul mod (and a brutal one at that) anything like the cage being in the smithy to changing dino data or drops could do it, if its a primal fear conflict, best prob to just leave it alone, so while its not exactly "shads critter reworks" the creator doesnt really use cotton and silk pressed gloves when it comes to conflicts and thats just for being an overhaul mod, and like the other guy said primal fear has those one shot pug lord bullets so what do you even need a cage (not that I ever built traps for even gigas in vanilla anyways, and ive tamed every major dino in SP.)

I first couldn't get dinos tp phase through the cages either - however, since I installed primal fear mod dinos reguarly just phase through the cages, no mather the sice of the cage or the dino. Not a big issue since primal fear provides you with good bullets and darts with high torpor dmg - just pointing it out here, it just might be a incompatibility with certain models/dinos.

buenisimo

I can't get dinos to phase through as reported, but I will keep testing different scenarios.

I'm thinking on adding another tier in between large and huge as well.

If things get a little too funky, I will be looking into reworking the cages or add another type of the same cages.

Yep can confirm dinos just phase right through it. Happened multiple times with me.

For everyone having problems with glitching dinos - try just placing the cage below the dino you want to tame. no need for pulling him or kiting him into the cage at all. with this method you don't even have to close the door of the cage, since it was never opened in the first place. I had no glitching dinos with that so far - altho, you might want to use a bigger cage where they can walk around in it. thanks for the great mod - makes my life way more easy.

Dang >_<

I'll see what I can do to fix that.

Yes I literally stood and watched a Carno do it to test a suspicion (I had an alpha raptor trapped earlier) that when I turned my back somehow got out, I kind of thought a tribemate let it out by accident, I was wrong based on watching a Carno just phase through

Did that happen while it was trapped inside? :S

That is probably possible, however, if a dino runs at the same spot of it long enough, it phases through, as I've just witnessed a Carno do

You don't have to do it this way, but I usually place the trap down and, while the door is open, hide behind the cage and shoot through the bars.

Once the creature is in, close it. (you can interact with it from behind it where you were hiding)

Alternatively, I think you can place it down right on them or net them and place it down.

I haven't tried that last part myself.
