Due to the way the official Crystal Isles map was made, (The map itself is using some kind of scaling or player models were scaled, notably creatures and plants are bigger) this means that the navigation is slightly off, by a couple degrees. If you're at 22 22, the device might say something more like 20 20 as an example (but not an exact one). We can still use this GPS, but we also have to calculate about how far off it is due to the map scaling so folks using this mod be aware, it does some weird stuff on Crystal Isles!

I love this navigation tool! The one and only thing that bugs me about it is that while most navigations use 'Latitude THEN longitude', this one has it reversed (Lon/Lat). I wish it could be reversed xD maybe as an ini option perhaps. In any case its a top mod on our server, we couldn't play without it!

@ 󠀡Stickity, Are you High or Just Stupid??? Look at the date of release! "ARK Tek Device" was released LONG before ARK Tek Nav.
󠀡Stickity 11 Sep, 2018 @ 9:06am 
So basically, you took ARK Tek NAVs idea, and most of the visuals, made some changes, and called it your own. Despicable. Everyone using this mod should go and use the original authors mod and not this phonies who only took someone elses work to take credit.
willy willington 14 Jan, 2018 @ 5:18am 
oh yeah, I found it......... (retard alert)
Captain Moose 13 Jan, 2018 @ 9:11pm 
You craft it in your own inventory, it costs only 1 Thatch
willy willington 13 Jan, 2018 @ 6:37pm 
where do you craft the ARK tek device
Neothom  [author] 13 Jan, 2018 @ 6:33pm 
And Yeah, some problem on the mod, it is a bit longer as I thought, sorry
Neothom  [author] 13 Jan, 2018 @ 6:32pm 
What do you mean?
willy willington 13 Jan, 2018 @ 10:07am 
where do you craft this?
Captain Moose 8 Jan, 2018 @ 6:03pm 
Yeah, still playing Ark? :S
JohnDivanz 5 Jan, 2018 @ 11:11am

Neothom  [author] 22 Dec, 2017 @ 2:33am 
too late ^^
VICE 21 Dec, 2017 @ 9:00pm 
@ [PEWAL] Neothom [author] , You should have entered this mod in the ARK Mod contest, I think it would have gotten alot of votes.
Captain Moose 21 Dec, 2017 @ 10:58am 
We're all really excited about this mod, congrats with your new computer! :D
VICE 21 Dec, 2017 @ 9:06am 
We are Patient for Good Mods! LOL Thnx and Merry Christmas!!!
JohnDivanz 21 Dec, 2017 @ 8:55am 
ah ok no problem. ;)
Neothom  [author] 21 Dec, 2017 @ 8:49am 
I have a new computer and need to install everything with a bad connection
Neothom  [author] 21 Dec, 2017 @ 8:48am 
I'm late ^^
JohnDivanz 21 Dec, 2017 @ 8:41am 
new mod are ready? or need other time? i'm so curious XD
Neothom  [author] 9 Dec, 2017 @ 2:25am 
15th - 20th of december, sure before 22th
Captain Moose 8 Dec, 2017 @ 5:52pm 
J'avais oublié que c'était un mod français. On joue sur Scorched Earth et le tek device disparait tout le temps, ça ne vous fait pas ça à vous?
Captain Moose 8 Dec, 2017 @ 5:51pm 
3/4 of the time now the device won't appear. And we have absolutely no idea why. It's painful because we got so used to this awesome mod that we're using it all the time along with the S+ Tek Transmitter now. We didnt realise how dependant we became before it stopped working.

Next update still planned for december 15th?
Neothom  [author] 8 Dec, 2017 @ 7:35am 
Will see to fix it on the next update
Billy the Backpack 7 Dec, 2017 @ 4:17pm 
wasn't mounted or anything and on the ground
Neothom  [author] 7 Dec, 2017 @ 3:49pm 
It happen when you are ridiing or swimming normally
Billy the Backpack 7 Dec, 2017 @ 2:55pm 
For some weird reason, sometime the tek device isnt working: nothing happens when i click on the hotkey which it is assigned to on my hotbar...
JohnDivanz 19 Nov, 2017 @ 9:00am 
oh nice!!! love so much your mod! :D
Neothom  [author] 19 Nov, 2017 @ 8:44am 
work in progress, will see for an updates near 15th of December
JohnDivanz 19 Nov, 2017 @ 7:53am 
Any news for the new mod?
Captain Moose 9 Nov, 2017 @ 1:06pm 
What do you think about the suggestion of allowing us to use the Tek Device while underwater and while riding a dino?

We're using it a lot to find aquatic dinosaurs but everytime we have to use it, we have to reach the surface and try to stand on a dino :/

And what about switching the coords (Lat first, Lon second) to be just like Ark's GPS and map?


Thank you very much again, this is one of the most useful mod of this game! Keep up with the good work! :D
Neothom  [author] 28 Oct, 2017 @ 3:14am 
first time tha I see this problem, are you sure it is due to my mod?
VICE 7 Oct, 2017 @ 10:40am 
Cool Mod! Works Perfectly. Thnx!
patonb 30 Jun, 2017 @ 3:51pm 
Thanks.
Neothom  [author] 30 Jun, 2017 @ 10:25am 
I will see what I can do, but Devkit his a nightmare on my PC this time x) just note, normally, if you die, it will work again ;)
patonb 29 Jun, 2017 @ 5:53pm 
I think I have a bug. I'll be using it just fine, logout, come back in later and it won't activate/work at all. It's as if the mod doesn't run. By that I mean I have the item on my hotbar, hit the number and nothing. Remake a new one, nothing. Have it in my inventory, hit E, nothing.
I believe if the server reboots it'll work again.
Devil Walker 24 Jun, 2017 @ 3:39pm 
This mod works really well with the s+ tel transmitter scan for dinos option. I'm using on the center and it's pretty dann accurate.
Hirnsausen 25 May, 2017 @ 4:34am 
And now combine it with an auto-polit for rafts to get to those GPS coordinates as close as possible. :-D
Limbo 4 Apr, 2017 @ 3:04am 
Thanks @neo. Looking forward to it.
Neothom  [author] 29 Mar, 2017 @ 10:15am 
Finally, I'm making another really big mod, I'll try to update if needed this one and fix any bug, but no more :/

The path:

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/Tek_Device/Blueprints/TEK_Device/PrimalItem_Weap_Tek_Device.PrimalItem_Weap_Tek_Device'" 1 0 0

Have a great day !
Limbo 29 Mar, 2017 @ 2:38am 
That's a hard choice. I like the idea of the no reboot updating myself.
Also I was wondering if I can get a working blueprint path? I was trying to add this into a starter kit, but noticed the path is wrong.
Neothom  [author] 22 Feb, 2017 @ 3:18pm 
Hello everyone !

I am soory, I cannot do the fix until I finish the new content...

I would like your opinion.

1- Would you prefer gus.ini settings to set server info, news, rules of your server or would youprefer a website where you add the infos and it is automatically updated on the tek device without any reboot?

2- Would you like a big page for home info( news/rules/info) or keep the same size?

Have a great day !

Hi, I really like this mod! Is ligh weigh... clean, usefully... total Pro addon.. but... when we logoff and login back to server, ... we cant use tek device again
Everlasting.Media 10 Feb, 2017 @ 8:22pm 
I totally support the @nubby idea for waypoints. No relation.
Neothom  [author] 9 Feb, 2017 @ 12:14am 
@D3ATHCOM5 , Could you tell me on wich map you are, and send me some pictures of what GPS Show?
D3ATHCOM5 8 Feb, 2017 @ 2:22pm 
Doesn't work properly after dying. The arror starts point in the wrong direction unless you're over 500 away from the marked point on the gps
