Anyone have functioning alternatives?

Froze me too.

crashes the game all the time :/

Heads up, just glitched my game. Froze and closed. Seems a good idea but I cant say more without testing it

on modded (singleplayer) i can put this on my base

The only way to get rid of the V1 beacon is to collect it and drop it on the ground.
Just press the demolition in the installed state, the server stops at all.

This is Greately usefull mod but, the resource conflict problem is very serious.
V2 is also very good, but it has limitations. It's a matter of color choice.

I have started recreating this mod's functionality here

Its a bit rough right now, but it is at a point where you can place something that works.
DoozerSg1 14 Apr, 2017 @ 11:54pm 
plan to update this? for the recent patch
Sans 13 Apr, 2017 @ 11:41pm 
Giraffe? cheers man,that will have to do for now-spawning em in,rather than through the engram.
GiraffeCubed 13 Apr, 2017 @ 7:18am 
Hope this gets updated soon. Shame it causes crashes when you try to click a beacon or craft one. But it still kinda works for me cause I just play on a private server with my SO, you can still spawn a beacon using commands, and drag it to your hotbar. Once it's on your hotbar you can just craft and place them from there.

This guy makes the best mods that fill really important niches and then abandons them when everyone relies on them :( Please man
Bronzeborg 11 Apr, 2017 @ 12:37pm 
any news on this super useful mod? cant find anything like it :(
CaptainMaxFox 9 Apr, 2017 @ 5:31am 
that is too long, think i'm gonna throw it of from my server
CAPTMEATSACK 9 Apr, 2017 @ 5:05am 
Because it hasn't been updated since December.
CaptainMaxFox 9 Apr, 2017 @ 12:35am 
Why does it keeps our game freezing and eventually crashing when we try to craft it?
FlamingOracle 8 Apr, 2017 @ 6:44am 
does it work on the center?
Cobbertson 6 Apr, 2017 @ 4:45am 
Confirmed client freeze and eventual crash after clicking to craft beacon
Dave The Geek 5 Apr, 2017 @ 2:05pm 
My server is begging for an update! Please update.........
Sans 4 Apr, 2017 @ 2:33am 
Crashes the game when you click to create one,started after last update,hope you can find time to fix,its a great little mod.
inf 1 Apr, 2017 @ 1:43pm 
New update killed the mod and now game crashes , please fix :(
CAPTMEATSACK 21 Mar, 2017 @ 7:05pm 
It's alive:steamhappy: any chance of getting a fix for the crashing issues?
Duncanas  [author] 21 Mar, 2017 @ 4:53pm 
Not easily fixed SF. Unfortunately I had to separate the beam out into a separate actor in order to fix an issue with rendering them at a distance that was introduced by an optimization in one of the updates. If I was had time to work on the mods it might be possible to update the position on an update cycle but that might have performance issues as well.
sf 18 Mar, 2017 @ 7:51am 
the beacon when placed on raft will be moved correctly, but the light shaft will stay in the original position when it is first placed. Not sure if this is fixable (or just don't use on rafts)
Lilifee 15 Mar, 2017 @ 4:16am 
Can i adjust the beacons so that they like the original again and again by itself spwaning and content by game ini adjust?
Cazador de coyotes 8 Mar, 2017 @ 9:30pm 
The mod seems cool, however I didn't installed because it is free to craft and seems it has no decay timer, this means lot of troll can fill the map with these personal beacons. Bad idea to install in a transited server. Please update the mod to add a setting for personalizing a lifetime value in minutes or hours.
SiX [do not click my links] 5 Mar, 2017 @ 2:53am 
Same problem: "Personal Beacons" crashes the server since the last patch is out if a player wants to pickup / destroy a beacon.

Any fix being made?
CAPTMEATSACK 17 Feb, 2017 @ 12:28pm 
Everyone still having issues with this?
weteyrru℠↑↑↑ 14 Feb, 2017 @ 10:09pm 
great mod, please correct the very useful thing
CAPTMEATSACK 7 Feb, 2017 @ 7:36pm 
Yes I have to concur with the crash. I been crashing latly not right away but eventually. Removed many mods 1 by one and this was the naughty 1. Since I turned it off no crashes. Sorry man. A good mod never gets any rest lol.

CAPTMEATSACK 6 Dec, 2016 @ 2:30pm 
Thanks. I'll have to check it out tomorrow but thanks
Duncanas  [author] 6 Dec, 2016 @ 10:41am 
@CAPTMEATSACK Should work correctly now.
Duncanas  [author] 5 Dec, 2016 @ 7:57am 
Yes but it's not a priority for me. I'm very busy right now with other things and this is one of the features that is down the bottom of my list.
Ostrobogulous 5 Dec, 2016 @ 7:42am 
Is it possible to make these only visible to the character that placed it?
Duncanas  [author] 2 Dec, 2016 @ 8:00pm 
Everybody on the server should see them regardless of tribe affiliation.
Cynical 2 Dec, 2016 @ 7:53pm 
I have a question, do these beacons only show for the player or do tribe members also see them?
Duncanas  [author] 2 Dec, 2016 @ 2:22pm 
Don't believe it has anything to do with redwoods. Looks like every second beacon is turned off on a client restart. I imagine I have a loop issue but haven't worked out where yet. Imagine I'll have a fix soon.
CAPTMEATSACK 25 Nov, 2016 @ 11:45am 
Also have noticed what we were talking about with the beacons not staying on. It only seems to happen in the redwoods. Give it a test sometime you will see what I mean
Duncanas  [author] 25 Nov, 2016 @ 10:37am 
That would be true. Unfortunately in order to stop the beacons from disappearing when Wildcard changed the way stasis works I had to separate the beam from the base so you could see the beacons at a distance. I could probably update the beacons position to match the base when I do my other checks but I won't be something I get to soon.
JOEHOVA 24 Nov, 2016 @ 5:01pm 
would be cool to put on ships. When i moved the beacon stayed but the light never moved as the boat left. still very cool
CAPTMEATSACK 21 Nov, 2016 @ 6:52pm 
This is true and I've basically noticed what you said too. I agree it's not a game breaking issue but just thought I'd share. As for mods I use a few but there from the more popular modders who seem to be on top of things like that. The guy who does structures plus and about half of pegis. I know when I first started there's alot of mods out there that are pretty messy and don't play nice with others lol. So very rarely do i mess with just random one's without paying attention:steamhappy:
Duncanas  [author] 21 Nov, 2016 @ 5:09pm 
Beacon does not need to be first in general, but it is alway possible that some other mod causes an issue.
Duncanas  [author] 21 Nov, 2016 @ 5:08pm 
I thought I might have seen something like that on my owner server Cap but wasn't sure. You should find that turning any beacon on and off turns on the ones that aren't working. I'll see if I can work it out soon. I'm working on a bug in my pet res mod right now that is a little more urgent, but should get to it soon.
CAPTMEATSACK 21 Nov, 2016 @ 4:59pm 
I been having a little bit of a issue to they work but not. Even tried deleting and unsubscribe and still my issue remains. ...here is what happens. Every beacon I placed before the last update works nonstop. The new one's I make work but there's a catch. After I start up my single player game all the new ones are not visible until I craft a new one put it down and turn it on. Then all the other beacons come back on until the next time I restart my game. But I can confirm that the ones that were placed before the update (where they got bigger) work just fine. So still a tad buggy
Psychoslider 21 Nov, 2016 @ 3:39pm 
does this have to be in #1 spot.. because they dont work with my sp
Duncanas  [author] 15 Nov, 2016 @ 4:32pm 
Yeah, it was looking a bit anemic from a distance and strobing anoyingly so I beefed it up a bit. ;-)
CAPTMEATSACK 15 Nov, 2016 @ 4:13pm 
No longer is it just some simple little beam in the sky lol. It is a pillar of the gods lol:steamhappy: didn't read the patch notes until after I started my game and bam! The pillar of light in my base was glorious lol.
Duncanas  [author] 14 Nov, 2016 @ 9:33pm 
Mod updated to fix disappearing on death plus made the beams more visible and a new model for the base that is more like the old one but matches with the beam better.
