Ini settings explained
DisablePickupWhenDamaged - if True, the Structure Gun will not pick up damaged structures.
________________________________________________________
AllowAdminToDemolishAnyTribe - if True, it will allow server admins to pickup, demolish, or delete any tribe's structures using the Structure Gun.
________________________________________________________
RequireDyeInInventory - setting this to True will require the player to make dye and have it in their inventory when using the new Dye Menu of the Paint Sprayer and Paintbrush.
________________________________________________________
TransferRangeInFoundations - this determines the range between two inventories that the Transfer Gun can move items between. The default range is 25 foundations. Setting it to 0 or not putting this setting in your ini will make it use the default.
Note: This is not the range of the gun itself. It is the distance between two storage boxes, or a storage box and a dino, etc.
________________________________________________________
TransferResourceRemovals - this works like the S+ PullResourceRemovals ini.

Example:

TransferResourceRemovals=/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Consumables/PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat.PrimalItemConsumable_RawMeat,/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Wood.PrimalItemResource_Wood

This would remove Raw Meat and Wood from the Transfer Menu of the Transfer Tool.
________________________________________________________
AdminOnlyDinoScan=true - makes Dino Scanner only work for server admins
________________________________________________________
DisableDinoScanDetails=true - hides the coordinate and elevation info of the dinos
________________________________________________________
DisableDinoScanMap=true - disables the Dino Scanner map
________________________________________________________
DisableElevationOffset=true - uses the raw elevation data (rounded to nearest meter) for each map. Useful if using another mod that shows raw elevation.

The Elevation Offset adjusts the Elevation value in the GPS and Dino Scanner so that 0m represents "sea level". Exceptions include:
Scorched Earth - 0m represents the water level in the central canyon
Aberration - 0m represents the surface
Extinction - 0m represents the boundary between surface and subterranean areas, roughly
Genesis - 0m represents the sea level of the Ocean Biome

Mod maps that haven't been made official by Wildcard do not have custom elevation offsets. This is because I do not want to download and test every mod map that exists. If you would like me to add an offset for a map, you will need to provide the Elevation value from my GPS while standing at the edge of the ocean on that map.
________________________________________________________
AdditionalStructurePreventPickup=

This will add structures to the list of things the Structure Gun is not allowed to pick up, demolish, or delete. To use it, list each structure item, separated by a comma.

Example (this is all one line of text):

AdditionalStructurePreventPickup=/Game/Mods/StructuresPlusMod/Structures/Foundations/Square/Stone/PrimalItemStructure_Foundation_Stone.PrimalItemStructure_Foundation_Stone_C,/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Items/Structures/Stone/PrimalItemStructure_StoneFloor.PrimalItemStructure_StoneFloor_C

This example would make the Pickup/Demolish/Delete modes ignore the S+ Stone Foundation and the vanilla stone foundation.
________________________________________________________
EnableBatchPaintModes=true - enables the Batch Modes for the Paint Sprayer and Pressure Washer

This enables each of those tools to perform their action on all connected structures of the same type, or any type (they are 2 separate modes)
