Polymer Converter

I have tried the alterations as you described and run into just one issue: even though the recipe then demands obsidian, I cannot place obsidian into the converter (restricted inventory? like how you can't place certain things into a forge)

I was gonne try 2 organic into one inorganic anyway for my settings but I thought I should let you know.

OR for more than one resource add a comma and an extra bracket for multiple resources like example 2 :

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_MulticraftItem_PolyConvert_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Obsidian_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Stone_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))

if anyone else would like to change the Conversion Cost of the poly just paste this example into your servers Game.ini in one line, no spaces. Change ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Obsidian_C" to your desired resource and BaseResourceRequirement=1.0 to change the required amount of your new resource to start the conversion! Note that if you change the requirement to actually just be Organic Poly itself you should also change bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false to equal true to avoid any bugs with it trying to convert regular poly into poly! Enjoy xD

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_MulticraftItem_PolyConvert_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Obsidian_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))

can i somehow change the recipe and make it need obsidian and organic polymer to craft polymer?
LORD_K 12 Jul, 2022 @ 11:53am 
Config. Too slow convert process. :P

INI Config PLZ!:steamthumbsdown:

Engram unlock spawn plz.
peanutinky 23 Jun, 2022 @ 2:47pm 
can you add the endgram to the machine to make the polymer because without it this mod is useless
KillBaby 9 May, 2022 @ 10:17am 
Can't craft polymer. It says I have to unlock engram. But I don't have it in engrams

Does anyone know if this is still working with current updates?

Awesome idea. I know this probably hasnt been touched or looked at in a long time.

But, happen to have an .INI file I could play with on my server?
Mezilsa 24 Mar, 2019 @ 7:53am 
Works nicely, maybe a bit faster conversion process, but there is no problem with the ressource requirments.
DAMPS 23 Mar, 2018 @ 4:19pm 
no problem thanks

@DAMPS
i'll increase the spoil timers inside the polymer converter.
DAMPS 8 Mar, 2018 @ 6:37pm 
Is there any .INI setting to increase the conversion speed. The polymer will go bad before its even finished when doing large batches at a time
Bhody 4 Feb, 2018 @ 8:34pm 
Great Mod.. I like the idea of the pearls.. Hate it when people complain about an extra feature in a game.. if 2 pearls is too high of a cost just go mine obsidian and make polimer the old fashioned way.. How easy do you need the game??
Anupheaus 6 Aug, 2017 @ 9:19am 
@dubCUT any chance you could add an achatina paste to cementing paste converter or make this item do this too please?
Tekcor 31 Jul, 2017 @ 10:57am 
Yeah, I'm not happy with the new requirements. Going to remove this mod now.
Munin666 20 Jul, 2017 @ 12:24pm 
I need to say, before the Update of this Mod it was much better that we just had to use Oil to convert organic Polymer to Polymer, and it wasnt that much Oil but now we need 2 Pearls per Polymer and it isnt that fastest process. In my Opinion its better now if i just put Oil in it to conserve it than spend that much Pearls.

I am hosting my own server with this mod and everyone on my Server has the same meaning.

Furthermore it would be nice if there is a possibility to rename the converter. Because we have a vacuum sorter and we have to rename everythink with " - Sort " at the end.
I hope you will integrate the possibility and do anythink better than using that much Pearls for convert. Then with that high costs of Pearls it is much better to conserve our Polymer than convert it.

@The Beard I agree. I find myself wondering "who would want to make organic into regular polymer?" I guess theres some reason somebody would, but organic is the more limited resource, I'd rather be making that with our server's other mods which require the organic stuff.
Rusty 11 Jul, 2017 @ 7:02am 
is there any way i can edit the speed of wich ti produces polymer?
The Beard 12 Jun, 2017 @ 3:25pm 
what about polymer to organic polymer? (reversed)
tomcat2k 6 Jun, 2017 @ 6:33am 
@dubCUT
I am fully aware of the fact, that if I want to CONVERT Organic Poly into normal Poly one, I need to put Oil into the Converter.
But sometimes I just want to store it in Organic form and NOT CONVERT it.
Prior Mod V1.4 i could simply put it into the converter and as stated in the Features of the Mod:

Stores Organic Polymer much longer than anything else. (Original 0:30h / This one: 5h)

it CONSERVED the organic Polymer without converting it into normal polymer.

Now whit V1.4 this is only true while Oil is addet to power the converter. Without oil, oranic poly decays as fast as in my Inventory. I realy liked the feature to store it longer wile not converting it.

But maybe you always intendet it as it is now in V1.4?
dubCUT  [author] 6 Jun, 2017 @ 1:07am 
@tomcat2k
it needs oil to fully work
tomcat2k 23 May, 2017 @ 12:09pm 
Hey DubCUT
Realy like your Mod.
But on my Server the Converter no longer conserves organic Polymer when it is not actively converting it.
I used to store it whitout adding oil, which is no longer viable,
The spoiltimer is only modified once it works. I already removed the mod and reinstalled it, to see if it yould fix the issue.
ZatroGamer 14 May, 2017 @ 8:42am 
Vanilla means no mods... LOL
IDreamofZombie 8 May, 2017 @ 5:46pm 
Just downloaded this yesteday. It is working exactly as described, and I love it. Thank you for this!
Cython 14 Feb, 2017 @ 2:48pm 
Oh, incase people were wondering, it works fine for me on Scoreched Earth too, converted mantis organic polymer.
Cython 6 Feb, 2017 @ 4:35pm 
Yeah, but as I said, mine has worked ever since I added it. Seemed like there were an odd number of comments to the contrary. I've even converted the organic polymer from the snails as well a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry if there was confusion there.
dubCUT  [author] 6 Feb, 2017 @ 12:40am 
@Cython
have you added oil??
Sarge of Greyhawk 3 Feb, 2017 @ 1:41pm 
This mod works fine for us over on the "A Sarges Tale" servers. We use it on all our servers except SE. No penguins...LOL
Cython 30 Jan, 2017 @ 10:19am 
Uh...mines always worked... on a server anyway.
dubCUT  [author] 3 Jan, 2017 @ 5:06am 
@ThePunisher55557™
that should be ONE polymer at a time
HORIZn 23 Dec, 2016 @ 3:47am 
@dubCUT when you say "per item" do you meen per stack or no?
bas_de_draak 12 Aug, 2016 @ 12:49am 
@major are you sure you got it selected in your world?
Dj Jysbs 15 Jul, 2016 @ 9:00am 
Cant find the engram and can not use the command to get it either. How to do it?
Monster G Dogg 7 Jul, 2016 @ 6:25am 
Good for storing if you have stacking mods running. Will not convert though as others have stated already.
Jurassic Cow 4 Jul, 2016 @ 5:08pm 
Converting to polymer doesnt work.
Raivier 2 Jul, 2016 @ 9:28pm 
i have 43000 organic polymer and 704 oil and nothing has happened in the last 30 minutes.
Thurimm 20 Jun, 2016 @ 1:19am 
not working anymore ?
ZatroGamer 15 Jun, 2016 @ 1:36pm 
What is needed to power it? I think this is a really cool idea if it needed something in it to power it. And I don't like the Organic ploymer to polymer thing can I disable that?
Clot 9 Jun, 2016 @ 12:37pm 
Not working for me, I have stacking mod on server so that may be the reason. Great for preserving the organic polymer thou, no real need to convert it when only 8 will spoil in a day and the stack size is 250. Since I also have the Refinery mod I keep it stored there, almost no loss at all, 16 hour spoil time o.O
Kabootski 8 May, 2016 @ 5:42pm 
Thank you so much for this awesome Mod. Running it in the 11th position load order of 15 installed Mods, and it runs perfectly.
Castor659 5 May, 2016 @ 7:22pm 
In my experience, stacking mods make it inop. Without stacking mod, it worked perfectly for me.
TGG 4 May, 2016 @ 5:18pm 
this mod does not work
๖ۣۜTigerheart 2 May, 2016 @ 10:10pm 
this mod is only the time and isnt converting any polymer so update and fix pls ty
Smi13y 22 Apr, 2016 @ 2:37pm 
does the conversion get broken by stack mods like the jerky?
Penney 14 Apr, 2016 @ 12:51pm 
I did remove it and put it on first priority too but still not converting. Anyone know how to fix?
Pla 14 Apr, 2016 @ 9:59am 
@JimboBlade, @Penney: Well, I just installed the mod and it worked on local game AND on a server. Maybe you try to delete the mod and reinstall ist completely?
Penney 14 Apr, 2016 @ 9:01am 
Same here Polymer lasts longer but no convert. Anyone know how to fix? Oil + Polymer inside
