the game is fairly finished, will there be update?

A No fuel version? Like the S+ torches?

This mod + Light Controller = coming home to a nice lit home at the end of a hard day foraging, resource gathering, and taming.

Hi Harakyss i know you now working on the mods anymore. But i really need some help/guide to how and where on the torches you changed the light color? As im working on another type of torch mod :)

I just came back to find several of my fav modders gone due to problems with constant updating and sorting through the games bugs, updates and other problems. I wish you well and if you do come back I will be sure to pick up this mod again. Ty for your hard work and i wish you well harakys. :) I understand and can only imagine the nightmare it has been to sort through it all. Thx again for every thing.

Even the mod is suspended, wanted others to just know that I learned that this mod, Better Fences, Better Watertanks, ACM and Advanced Spyglass, each of them alone in mod list prevent the hunter hat skin, dinoglass skin and parasaur saddle skin from appearing in inventory after respawn.

Sad to hear but I for one fully understand Harakys. Thank you very much for being upfront and honest on the status of the mod though, unlike so many modders who just walk away from a mod and leave people wondering if it's active or not. You're not the only one that's completely annoyed at the state of the devkit for this game, hopefully it gets more stable and you come back to this later. Thank you again for the great mod and your work to date.

Sorry people but I tell you that I quit all developments for this game ... I can not stand the slow and constant freeze of the devkit and it's too many bugs. Add to this, all the updates of the current game, you will understand that currently, developing mods for this game is just a waste of time.

Perhaps I will continue when the game will be in it's final/stable stage.

Good game to you...
Harakys  [author] 10 Jan, 2016 @ 2:17pm 
@ rudaye62 : if you have other mods, maybe try to disable all except better torch and look if it resolve your problem, maybe another mod is in conflict with this one, don't know... personally i don't have any problem. And only my Wall Torch can be placed on wall, the colored, no.
rudaye62 10 Jan, 2016 @ 4:58am 
Hello, excuse I sil pleases you I have torch up and wall but I can not put them on a wall or the ground
Harakys  [author] 9 Jan, 2016 @ 7:23pm 
Version 1.18

• Standing Torch and wall torch accept now angler gel.
• NEW ITEM : CANDLE ! (in test, need more adjustements). The Candle have a small light range but remains ON indefinitely. Accept only Oil, to demolish it just punch it. Can be replaced. Can be placed anywhere, on any other item, so put it on your smithy, bench, chair, table, etc.
rudaye62 9 Jan, 2016 @ 3:29pm 
Hello, I do not understand I installed(settled) well, I have engrams, I can make them. But impossible of them placed on a wall or the ground, why?:steamsad:
HGDB 4 Jan, 2016 @ 5:35pm 
Can these be updated to accept angler gel as a fuel source?
Mamma 1 Jan, 2016 @ 4:54pm 
I hanen't tried the oil, but I know that it won't burn the angler gel. I can't even put the gel in the lights inventory.
Harakys  [author] 13 Dec, 2015 @ 9:41am 
Don't know but this mod already boost light range, so no need another mod to boost light
Boredly 12 Dec, 2015 @ 10:58pm 
Is this compatible wth TorchBoost?
Harakys  [author] 4 Dec, 2015 @ 12:45pm 
@ Kaliyah86 : don't know need testing but you can use oil for a very long lightning time
Kaliyah86 3 Dec, 2015 @ 1:38pm 
HI

Does this use "angler gel" as fuel source along with the others?
HappyMonkey 26 Nov, 2015 @ 1:59pm 
For some reason this mod doesn't show up in the mods folder on my local hard drive. No idea why, this hasn't happened with any other mod. Any idea why this might be happening?
Ertosi 20 Nov, 2015 @ 3:28pm 
Good to know, thanks!
Harakys  [author] 20 Nov, 2015 @ 1:34pm 
@ Ertosi : the mod never breaks the miner's helmet
Ertosi 19 Nov, 2015 @ 1:13pm 
There's a discussion from a month ago stating that this mod breaks the miner's helmet (it will no longer produce light). Has that been corrected?
Harakys  [author] 16 Nov, 2015 @ 1:34am 
@ lastspartacus : no sorry, don't have any idea :/ maybe try to reboot your server ?
lastspartacus 15 Nov, 2015 @ 7:16pm 
Hey there I play on Barbarians RP server and we are using this mod list. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=553253638
Right now the torches aren't showing up, and I was curious if you had any ideas, I've really been disappointed by generic torch lighting and was looking forward to this mod a lot.
Kushbay 13 Nov, 2015 @ 11:31am 
love the mod ....great work :) ....id love to see the wall torch in diffrent colors aswell
MrTouge 11 Nov, 2015 @ 7:22am 
The Update was smooth on this one. I took fences out for now but i will try doing the update again on that one see if things are working now. As always grate mods and thanks for making them.
Harakys  [author] 10 Nov, 2015 @ 4:05pm 
Version 1.17
Corrected a bug with the Bonus Campfire inventory that does not accept raw prime meat.


@ dedicated server admin : could you tell me if you always have a mismatch mod bug with this update? Thank you.
eagle_1980 5 Nov, 2015 @ 8:08pm 
Harakys, are there any plans for a metal verison of these standing torches and wall torch? Since the wooden types are easily destroyed by attacking dinos, or easily damaged from accidently punches from a player.
Teknique 3 Nov, 2015 @ 8:05pm 
so far the new update broke my server would not start due to mismatch mod, deleted entire mod folder and reuploaded new files and still no luck, once i deleted the mod off the server everything works fine. not sure if its just me having issues
TheFoxeur 3 Nov, 2015 @ 4:32pm 
Bon boulot ;)
Harakys  [author] 3 Nov, 2015 @ 3:40pm 
Version 1.16

- All Standing Torches, Wall Torches and Bonus Campfire can be replaced. Remember to take items inside.
- Expand to 10 slots the Bonus Campfire inventory.
eagle_1980 2 Nov, 2015 @ 9:18am 
Actually, the address bar doesnt show in the steam client since I have that option disabled by default. I have been doing the copy paste to finding out the ID, just figured it would be nice to have it in the description for a quick glance when updating the correct mod on a server as it has to be done manually.
Max 2 Nov, 2015 @ 9:02am 
Just to add to what Haraksys said.
Easy way to get mod id is right click background of mod page (blue area), choose copy page url, paste it into comments section here (like you were to make a new post) just to be able to see it (or notepad of course).
You will get "https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=526513986" so 526513986 is the id.
Harakys  [author] 2 Nov, 2015 @ 4:49am 
@ eagle_1980 : I guess it's the same one that appears in the address bar when you are on this same page with a web browser?
id=526513986
eagle_1980 1 Nov, 2015 @ 1:41pm 
Can you please update the description to show ModID please? Thanks.
chevydad61 1 Nov, 2015 @ 3:42am 
can't get mod to place item
Verci 26 Oct, 2015 @ 11:34am 
Ah okay how odd, just figured since you are "Better" whatever haha
Harakys  [author] 26 Oct, 2015 @ 11:32am 
Sorry but i'm not the author of Better Lights.
Verci 26 Oct, 2015 @ 9:44am 
Hey man what happened to Better Lights? That was yours was it not?
Harakys  [author] 25 Oct, 2015 @ 9:59am 
Version 1.15

Add Wall Torch model. Put oil in it for a longuer time of fire... No more color fire for this one and it's not planned.
Harakys  [author] 24 Oct, 2015 @ 5:38pm 
Harakys  [author] 20 Oct, 2015 @ 1:53pm 
@ PeterLG : Ooops, thank you man, corrected
PeterLG 20 Oct, 2015 @ 1:19pm 
In "My Other Mods" better solo always links to here
Zenix 20 Oct, 2015 @ 3:54am 
@Edge I think you're looking for the cooking extras mod? Although there's quite a bit of useless junk in that one. Indefinite veggie storage! Only stacks to 5 -__-

I REALLY wish my server had an auto update option. I have to FTP everything, and at 10 mods now, it's a bit of a pain every time a mod updates. Especially the ones that have updated 8 times to 'fix' a bug that still exists. I appreciate the simplicity of mods like this one.
sainato 18 Oct, 2015 @ 4:10pm 
I replaced them and they now work. :steamfacepalm:
sainato 17 Oct, 2015 @ 7:52am 
I can't "Light Torch" as of the past ARK update? Anyone else having this?
Harakys  [author] 16 Oct, 2015 @ 3:40pm 
Check out my new mod: Better Fence
Max 11 Oct, 2015 @ 5:28pm 
Are you sure its this mod that its refering to when it says "make sure you have the latest mod installed" ?
