Ini settings for slots introduced. I will post code later, the codes also set the absolute max to the same number as the slots.

I have not been modding Ark for some time now due to long term illness, but I am hoping to be back later in the new year and will look at snap disabling then.
Bolisaris  [author] 8 Dec, 2019 @ 6:02am 
They do snap!!!!!
Whyte One 7 Nov, 2019 @ 3:18pm 
can these be altered so they snap to each other?
Zaanzabar 6 Jul, 2019 @ 9:01pm 
Is there a key or ini setting for disabling snapping? I am trying to place on inside of a round structure but it snaps too easily and won't go where I want them. Amazing mod btw. Can't live without it.

I was thinking of restarting the mods for this game but the creation kit is SO finniky at the moment and crashes if you so much as sneeze at it.

@Bolisaris - Not sure if you are still supporting this mod, but if you are I would love to see one change. The Element Bunker currently only allows full pieces of element. I would love to see it also be able to hold Element shards and Element Dust

Great mod, love it. Not sure how ARK or if ARK labels its items, liquids, food, etc, but would it be possible to get an alternate storage for the liquid items like tree sap and cactus sap or maybe just a general liquid barrel/drum/tanks, So far the mod works great for me, this would just be for aesthetics and quick reference...hey barrels gotta be oil, sap, sap, honey or some other liquid...

Either way, even if you cant, thanks for the mod.

New discord site created for all my mods see above for link.
Bolisaris  [author] 2 Mar, 2018 @ 8:43am 
Mod updated please read the comment below.
Bolisaris  [author] 2 Mar, 2018 @ 4:02am 
I am currently updating this mod, changes are, side to side snap points added so these bins will not only snap together but will also (hopefully) snap to the main bins in my Big Storage Bins mod, I have also added fill planes so that when the bins are empty they will LOOK empty, then you can see at a glance what resources you need to stock up on.
The only problem I have found is that when you have bins already placed the update the mod the bins appear empty when in fact they have items in, to sort this just watch the video included with the images.

Please wait until the version number is V2 before updating.
Bolisaris  [author] 16 Dec, 2017 @ 1:23pm 
You may have noticed a total lack of updates to this, this is because of the total lack of support from WildCard, they have not updated the dev kit since game update 268.3 some 5 months ago, so all the newer additions are not available to us modders, Sorry about this but then blame WC not us!
Bolisaris  [author] 26 Sep, 2017 @ 12:34pm 
MOD SHOULD NOW BE WORKING. I have implemented the spoiling time change too milk now keeps in the tank for over 2 days.
Bolisaris  [author] 26 Sep, 2017 @ 11:17am 
works ok on my server anyway
Bolisaris  [author] 25 Sep, 2017 @ 11:34pm 
Strange one, it works fine in SP mode keeps milk for 2 days 1 hour and 50 mins approx but I cannot get it to run on the server. If this mod is visible to you please tell me, I am worried that I am the only one can see it.
Bolisaris  [author] 25 Sep, 2017 @ 1:42pm 
Have tried Discord mate TBH was not impressed.
Aaron Tigan 25 Sep, 2017 @ 1:15pm 
No problem, I was just trying to get the same results you do. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. There is also a Discord server that helps with modding and such if you're interested (if you're not in that server already). I can get you an invite link. Lots of modders in the server willing to answer questions and help people with mods.
Bolisaris  [author] 25 Sep, 2017 @ 12:59pm 
@ Hype365 - I will take another look when I have this mod sorted mate.
Aaron Tigan 25 Sep, 2017 @ 12:56pm 
Btw, I loaded a singleplayer world with just your bin mods and I was still getting the same access issue except I tested every single bin and locker this time and noticed that the Chitin bin, characoal bin, and armour locker were indeed accessible by a totally different character but the others still were not. I'm not sure what else to change to test to get the same results as you, I figured a world with only your bin mods and default ark settings would be enough but I guess not.
Bolisaris  [author] 25 Sep, 2017 @ 11:48am 
no don't feel bad it is probably something I have done but I think I have the original back, but my server is playing up now, I think the Ark game is blocked on my firewall and I am trying desperately to find a way of adding it to the firewall again
Aaron Tigan 25 Sep, 2017 @ 11:45am 
Oh goodness, I didn't expect it to cause you so many issues :/ I kinda feel bad for bringing it up now :/
Bolisaris  [author] 25 Sep, 2017 @ 4:32am 
Mod is screwed up , it will not update correctly, I may have to reset the mod ID. If I do I will put a link on this page. Please do not ask me to change this again as it is a P.I.T.A
Bolisaris  [author] 25 Sep, 2017 @ 3:42am 
Please bear with me as the changes I make are not being passed to the mod during cooking, it still says 15 hours for spoilage of the milk. I will sort it as soon as I can.
Bolisaris  [author] 25 Sep, 2017 @ 1:12am 
Sorry but v1.3f did not reflect the changes to the tank, I am recooking this as I type and will upload in about 15 minutes from now. New version will be v1.3g.
Bolisaris  [author] 24 Sep, 2017 @ 11:11pm 
Updated version uploaded this morning, Wyvern Milk Tank now keeps milk fresh for 2 days and 2 hours approx, this is in response to a request to make it comparable to the S+ Refrigerator. Also updated to the v268.3 game patch.
Bolisaris  [author] 24 Sep, 2017 @ 12:00pm 
I have studied and better studied the BP (blueprints) for the storage and cannot find any function that would stop all players accessing the storage boxes except for the 'Remote Inventory Only Allow Tribe' function mentioned below which as I have stated is UNCHECKED on all boxes.
Bolisaris  [author] 24 Sep, 2017 @ 11:37am 
I have just increased the spoilage time in the Wyvern Milk Tank to match those of the S Plus refrigerator, I will cook it and upload it tomorrow. I have checked the 'Remote Inventory Only Allow Tribe' function and on all storage's this is unchecked and has always been so. I cannot see why your players outside the tribe cannot access the storage boxes, and as I only use the server for testing I cannot test mine outside of a tribe.

I am still convinced that anyone can access storage by default to lock out non-tribe members you would use the pin code. If anyone knows differently let us know please.
Aaron Tigan 21 Sep, 2017 @ 1:26pm 
Thank you I appreciate it. I understand a modders life and I'm sure you have RL things as well so no rush :D
Bolisaris  [author] 21 Sep, 2017 @ 12:14pm 
I will take a look at that later for you
Aaron Tigan 21 Sep, 2017 @ 11:11am 
I just tested it on my own mod in the dev kit and with that option checked I couldn't access the storage of my mod structure if I wasn't in the tribe even with it unlocked and not pin coded. So just for the fun of it, when you get the time please check and see if that variable is checked and if so uncheck it on all the PrimalInventoryBP's. That should fix the issue I'm having as I can't find a reason that the server or game itself would be causeing this to happen on it's own. :steamhappy: If you have any questions or anything feel free to hit me up, I'm always down for helping out a fellow modder :)
Aaron Tigan 21 Sep, 2017 @ 6:46am 
I think I may have found the issue but I can't be sure cause I can't look at your source files but in the PrimalInventoryBP files there is an option called "Remote Inventory Only Allow Tribe" which would prevent non-tribe members from accessing them.
Aaron Tigan 21 Sep, 2017 @ 6:10am 
very weird, I have tried reinstalling the mod already and this is even on a new server. I had the mods on a previous server and the same thing happened back then. It's a bummer cause I really enjoy these storage bins and this is the only issue I've had with them :/
Bolisaris  [author] 21 Sep, 2017 @ 12:55am 
I cannot see why it is doing this as it works perfectly on my servers, I can only suggest that you delete the mod from your server and reacquire it and see if that sorts it, I will take a look at the milk when I have sorted out my own problems here.
Aaron Tigan 20 Sep, 2017 @ 1:28pm 
Oh and wyvern milk lasts for 2 days, 1 hour, 56 minutes, 30 seconds-ish in the S+ Refrigerator for reference versus 30 minutes in player inventory and 15 hours in milk tank :)
Aaron Tigan 20 Sep, 2017 @ 1:24pm 
Here are a few screenshots showing what I mean... These ones are of S+ stuff owned by another tribe that I still have access to as long as they are unlocked https://prntscr.com/gnmr8v https://prntscr.com/gnmv6f and these are of a storage from your mod (specifically milk tank cause it was what was nearby but it does the same on all the other storages from your bins mods) https://prntscr.com/gnmvfz https://prntscr.com/gnmxc4 . I hope those help :)
Aaron Tigan 20 Sep, 2017 @ 2:50am 
i don't even get the Hold E For More Options message on the storage bins and such. I'll grab some screenshots for you :)
Aaron Tigan 20 Sep, 2017 @ 2:49am 
I can access storages from other tribes in any other mod including vanilla storages as long as they are not pin coded or locked, and thank you for adjusting the wyvern milk tank :)
Bolisaris  [author] 19 Sep, 2017 @ 11:42pm 
I am not sure about this but I think it is the game that prevents non-tribe members from accessing ANY storage device, as far as the Wyvern milk is concerned though I will take care of it for you later.
Aaron Tigan 19 Sep, 2017 @ 3:50am 
two things, 1. non tribe memebers can't seem to be able to access storages from any of these mods even when they are unlocked, and 2. can you make the spoil timer for wyvern milk more comparable to the timer on the fridge of S+? We love the model for the milk tank but the spoil timer is so much better in the S+ fridge. Thanks :D
Bolisaris  [author] 9 Aug, 2017 @ 9:56am 
Mod updated to the 264 game patch.
Mistastinky 17 May, 2017 @ 2:24pm 
@ AnsontheToad :Best way I have found to line these bins (and other things) up is:

Walk against a wall and move your mouse around until you stop sliding left or right. Now you are perfectly lined up with the wall.

Now press K to go into 3rd person mode (your direction will not change with mouse movement in this mode.

Then lift your mouse off the desk and press K again, going into 1st person again. This will enable you to click your mouse for placing items without the mouse moving around.

Use the [W][A][S][D] keys to move into position, press the action bar key for your item, line up vertically with the [Arrow up] & [Arrow Down] keys, place item.

Strafe left or right with [A] or [D] place another perfectly!:RCIdea:
Bolisaris  [author] 5 Apr, 2017 @ 3:57am 
Thanks mate it is a complicated thing "out of the box" so to speak but stick with it, it gets easier as you learn. Just got to master the coding side now.
PumpkinKing72 5 Apr, 2017 @ 3:17am 
I bow to your greatness I started looking at making mods too and all I can say is ay caramba it is far more complicated than I had imagined lol so all I can say is the effort is appreciated but dang it is hard work. Love you bin mods at any rate even if you can't get it figured out my hat is off to ya anyway.
Bolisaris  [author] 5 Apr, 2017 @ 12:26am 
As far as snapping is concerned I will have a go at creating some snapping storage boxes, but as I am relatively new to modding I cannot promise anything, if I do it will be as alternative bins in the same mod, so bear with me on this.
PumpkinKing72 5 Apr, 2017 @ 12:01am 
@ Bolisaris, in reference to what AnsontheToad was talking about snap points you can reference the mod "Echos Stacking Storage v2.2.3" his boxes use snap points when placing. which is good in one way or a pain in the ass on the other because a lot of everything else isn't snappy lol. With that I would think you would either need 2 mods 1 with snap points and the current one without or 2 bins for each resource in the same mod with one labeled as having snap points. It wood be cool to have the choice though.
Bolisaris  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 10:51pm 
@ AnsontheToad - Yes you can alter the snap points as in change their position or delete them entirely BUT you cannot create new snap points, or at least I have not found a way.
Enchantress 2 Mar, 2017 @ 10:39pm 
Just what i've been needing, thanks very much! :yin:
AnsontheToad 26 Feb, 2017 @ 7:41am 
Ah ok. I'm pretty sure theres a way some of the structures mods have atleast altered snap points. But it may be rather difficult and may not have much information availible on how to do it. I know mods are very complicated sometimes. Great job though. I'll check on the spoil times soon.
Bolisaris  [author] 26 Feb, 2017 @ 7:26am 
Wyvern Milk will now keep for 4 hours in the tank (that is with Global Spoiling Time Multiplier set at default 1).
Bolisaris  [author] 26 Feb, 2017 @ 6:01am 
Snap points are hard coded into the game so unless you are using an esablished structure there is (at least as far as I know) no way to create snap points.
