I did indeed check the ui and there is sadly no checkbox for alphas.

Have you checked the UI, I can't remember if there is a check box for it?

Can I make it stop tracking alphas? It's only tracking them and I'm trying to find ocean crates

@Change Alpha's only at the moment, from what I remember!

is it possible to track wild dinos?

Engram, can't remember offhand what the materials required to craft.

Do these have an engram to unlock and recipes to craft? Or can they only be obtained with the give item code?

Thanks, good to know it's useful!

this mod is such a lifesaver! This has become one of my favorite utility mods!

NP

yeah thank u but the other mod had not working for me thats why i ask , but now the other mod owkrs fine :D thank u enyway

No only those belonging to your team. I have seen other mods that shows you what you are looking for.

can i search for dinos like t-rex and all others dinos?

No problem, main thing to remember is that the sea crates are not always there. Map often starts with none, then one spawns then sometime later a second. Default maps there are only ever 2 on the map. And when you pick one up it take a little while for the next to spawn! So don't be surprised if you find the detector doesn't detect a sea crate at first!

Fantastic, thanks so much for the quick reply wuzzy!

It finds the crates if they are present, they are not pre-located, so as long as the map uses default land and sea crates they should work!

Forgive me if I missed this posted somewhere but can someone tell me what maps this mod works with currently?

@wuzzy Fantastic, appreciate it! ;)

I'll take a look next time I have the lid off! I think it's a reasonable request.

Could you please add INI options:
- Enable/Disable allow tracking for each type of Crate
- Enable/Disable Pull crate resources from distance

This mod is the best, but it's a little bit overpowered!

I got it to work, thanks

Just tested in game, Full command should be as below:

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/CrateFinder/Finder/PrimalItem_CrateFinder.PrimalItem_CrateFinder'" 1 0 0

With quotes and double quotes as indicated

works for me!

(make sure you have logged in as admin first of course!)

and the double quotes?

along with the 1 0 0 at the end

I just put in admincheat giveitem then copy and pasted what you put here

You are adding the cheat giveitem "..." 1 0 0 around it?

your spawn code doesn't work

Just been in game, typed "crate" engram is at level 52!

Don't put it in first slot, it does not have a game mode! any other slot is fine. I need to rebuild with the game mode at some point.

i loaded this in the top slot to see if it would help and it just crashes my game now.

engram should be there, try search for crate finder

does this have an engram? i don't see one. what level is it if so?

Yeah, that'd be cool. It works perfectly, especially with hidden beacon mods. Just something that kinda fits in with ark instead of a flying traffic cone. :p

Interesting idea, you basically want something more obvious? glowing/flashing that sort of thing? A flare rocket or torpedo with a prominent tail track?

Any plans on updating the visuals? Maybe a glowing plasma ball instead of a cone?

@Yodysseus, Thanks for the review and linked :-)

I am thinking about the splitting out the crate level (white, red, blue....) function you mention!
And now i have seen it I should update the label to Ocean/Desert!

(BTW crouch key lets you pick up without getting off your dino as well!)

Love this! Soooo helpful thanks for that :) if anyone wants to see it in action on scorched you can see here :) https://youtu.be/JOwGeV-DPJY

I believe you can change the level at which engrams are learned, make this high enough and no one can learn it! Youll need to look at the wiki to see how I think it's done through custom config files.

how to hide the engram on a server?

Ah okay. Next time I play I'll test it.

Added a video, should be self explanatory!

On the center there are only ever a maximum of 2 ocean crates at a time! and in my experience often none for quite a while.

right in front of you :-), as I mention in the comments if nothing shows it means nothing is in range.

Try turning on the normal crates (go into the 'n' menu and toggle the third option) and increasing the range, go and stand near one youll see the red arrows. (arrows are smaller at larger range)

My experience on the center is that the ocean crates appear within 20 minutes or so (the wiki says 45) then you can follow the blue arrows to them.

The green and yellow arrows will appear if your near (within the set range) of a cave or artifact crate.

Okay, So I've used this, and nothing happens. I don't see any indicator. Where is it supposed to appear?
