TCs Auto Rewards v1.12.16

Thoughts on the mod.
So, I was banned from the discord server for no particular reason other than I annoyed a few people, particularly after someone mocked my input.

So, I've come to leave my thoughts on the mod before the mod author bans me from the page too. I don't know who exactly banned me or what their reason was, no moderators warned me of anything, I did not attack anyone nor did I do anything wrong. I merely missed a few things because I didn't realize I had t hit update multiple times to see features.

I read the Config Settings and Spawn Codes page entirely which left a few things out, and thats fine because you can't always cover -everything-.

I did not know the mod was undergoing an overhaul, at the time. This was told to me AFTER my ban, by an idiot claiming that I should have known this, to a mod I installed literally within 24 hours to try out for the first time ever.

Your pages have lots of information, I tried to read everything, so I missed a few things. You can't say I did wrong here when most people don't even go this far. How many other people would read the mod page and the config settings discussion in their entirety? So I missed the FAQ, I'm sorry.

Nor did I know that Qualities existed, technically. Which is why I suggested it, and then I noticed it was actually there after I hit update for the 4th time. After checking the FAQ, I now realize you have no intention of ever adding random qualities. Which is a buzz kill.

After the arguments I had in the server with people who think that I should build my base in a specific way because wall mounted reward safe is the only thing they think should exist, I suspect you don't want to make the mod universally compatible with all mods by having a reward safe that can be placed on the floor. But if you do, great.

I did also suggest a feature for having the UI let you add or remove ARc from players without having to touch their exact amount and mess up on math or some other accident of miscalc or typo.

I suspect that after this however, the mod author will block me and prevent any future posts, and possibly even use the backdoor mods tend to include to attack my server with spam or whatever till I remove the mod. I have no idea what the mod author is like, but after being banned over literally nothing with no warnings or anything, I don't have high hopes that he is a reasonable person I'm sorry to say.

I write this, annoyed by the fact that this would have been a great mod, and I was merely trying to help improve it, and was banned because a few people chose to pick fun at me and mock me for being new to the mod. I hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Vas, Unfortunately I was asleep during that interaction. However I have read up on the events that transpired and I back my moderators for banning you. If I was there, I would have done the exact same thing.

You were banned due to your aggressive and insulting attitude, not for "merely trying to help improve the mod"

If you'd like to try expressing your concerns again in a different way, I'd be more than happy to listen. But if not, then I'd rather not waste my time.

1. The information for the mod is scattered and some data is missing. I do not want to waste time rewriting it just yet while so much is in the process of being overhauled.

2. A lot of people miss the fact that the quality is a clickable dropdown menu which can be used to change the quality. However, the quality level is merely cosmetic. Stats are not determined by the quality level at all. The Trello page for my mod lists that I will be implementing random stats in the future, but not until I redesign the UI.

3. I'm happy to create another model that can be placed of the floor in the future, but I will not be attempting to add snap points for the wall mounted vault to allow it to snap to every modded wall. The snap point system is a nightmare to work with in the Kit, especially if the mod author has created custom snap points which I don't have access to.

4. Sounds like you want a value based multiple choice system, which is already planned for the future along with the new UI.

My aggressive attitude? When someone insulted me, I defended myself, if no messages were deleted, you would see that when I said that I'd like a place-able item, someone told me to make a new mod to do it myself. That was insulting in two ways. Either he was telling me to "do it yourself", or he was insinuating no one else wanted that and it wasn't worth even suggesting. I argued to defend my point.

A moderator should always issue warnings before they do stuff, there was no warning, nothing. Unless someone goes in and starts spouting off racist remarks, and is obviously attacking, there should be warnings and references to what a person did wrong.

I am strongly defensive of my points when I make them. However I did not insult anyone. I simply said the guy mocked me, which is not an insult, its a statement.

You aren't even remotely close to anything in my message. This has nothing to do with Ark gameplay.

I can see this isn't going to go anywhere productive, I wish you the best.
