Figure I could do a simpler writeup of the resource "multiple Choice" request.

The ability to select on most items (buildings, consumables, resources, ammo) if we want it to be a resource allocation, or set up strictly with the amount set.

Im sure you get what I mean with this though, but giving the option for most items on a per item bases if we want it seen as a resource selection or not would be amazing.

But If the "multiple choice" config is not really an option, or just allot more work then its really worth, perhaps you could do something like this in the future, though its not ideal, is set up a lite version of the mod without the ingame UI for pack creation with the old system in place for those of us who dont mind setting up the packs with the google doc, it may not be nearly as fancy and take allot more work on us server admins, but it would be a much smaller mod, and perhaps alittle more robust. I only suggest this if it could really save you work, the old system had alittle more functionality, but your new system I think will be much better in long run as the mod continues to develop.

I think it would be nice if you can add a Element Purchase. Choosable between shards and elements

If I can implement @Kalisa's idea, you would be able to set up a pack that allows a user to choose between Element or Shards, but I'm now thinking there will be a ratio issue. The current system pins everything at a 1:1 ratio, and Element vs Shards is 1:100. Now I need to figure out a way to allow you guys to create ratios for the multiple choices as well lol

This minor update is turning into a major update very quickly lol

Sounds like it o.o but if its too much you could try to break it into smaller updates, perhaps just get the multiple choice for items toggleable in pack creation for now, then for the update update after that add a ratio option, however a ratio option would be AMAZING, not sure if that was even possible in the old system.
also side note, I don't think Golden Herperonis eggs were included in the initial items choosable, had to do the blueprint path for them, just thought I would let you know.
TimmyCarbine  [developer] 14 Feb, 2018 @ 1:45am 
Yeah that's the initial plan, but it honestly depends. It might actually be easier for me to add the ratio mechanic while adding the multiple choice system.
I'll look into the Golden Egg, I don't actually remember seeing the file for it. Thanks

Also this is just a minor suggestion, and not sure if it would be possible with the way you have the UI set up, but is there any chance you could make it so we can Sort packs in the admin menu, like be able to position them with draging, or any option for sorting? Like If i make a new pack now it goes to the end of the list, but would like to keep them sorted by pricing/tier.

Its not a big deal if this cant be an option, Found a workaround by just copying all the packs, and creating the new pack in the proper position as I copy the rest around it, then delete the old packs.

I might be able to add an "Order" field to the Pack Details screen that would allow you to enter a numbered position. But that would be the extent of it. Adding sorting/search features is way too much work for what it would achieve in this situation in my opinion

is there a command that can be implemented that admins can execute via command line that can add ARc to a player?
TimmyCarbine  [developer] 15 Feb, 2018 @ 1:08am 
There are no commands. You can manage player data via the admin menu though.
SirShaw 15 Feb, 2018 @ 7:29am 
I'm aware of this. I'm looking to integrate this mod with an external web store but needed the ability to add ARc credits via a command much like a giveitem command. That isn't possible at all?
TimmyCarbine  [developer] 15 Feb, 2018 @ 3:30pm 
If it's just adding credits via command, I can set that up for you pretty easily in the next update
SirShaw 15 Feb, 2018 @ 8:35pm 
yes sir! and that would be wonderful! something like "ScriptCommand AutoRewards ARc {STEAMID} 100" or something..just need to be able to specify in a command the amount of ARc and the steamid or playerid that gets in on the server. Thanks for that and this great mod. :-)
