Hello! I was going to leave a comment but this might be a bit longer form so I figured a discussion post would be a bit easier.

Ill start off by saying I love the mod and what you've done here. A lot of these decor items are on the less rustic end without being scifi or modern and that's a void that was really missing in modded decor.

Since I like it so much and you've mentioned you're working an update I wanted to give you some detailed feedback, not to criticise, but hopefully to help in the update process. ^^


1.) Some structures are 100% progression-breaking. I know this is a mod designed for roleplay, but on a lot of servers, the roleplay is integrated into character prog (i.e. D&D style servers). The pantry makes every other food storage device 100% irrelevant, the bookshelf acts as the strongest storage in the entire game, etc.

I'd like to humbly request that either the functionality of these be a configurable ini option (preferred), or that they have a non-functional version, and the functional version(s) be moved to a separate workbench with "functional" decor - and give that bench a separate engram, so that a server admin can exclude those items. When everything is in one bench, one progression-buster means we cant use the entire mod, which makes me very sad :(


2.) Textures: Some of the textures (i.e. on the beds, for example) are absolutely, drop-dead gorgeous. A few others seem to come up very stretched, or rotated the wrong way. Some examples:

-Wood texture of the crafting bench is stretched

-Bookshelf wood texture (not the bookcases, but the bookshelf which acts as a vault) is stretched as well

-Bookcase 2 textures look to be rotated 90 degrees

I know the ark dev kit exports some of this stuff *real* weird, so you're probably aware, but wanted to provide examples that might help you track the issue down.


3.) The smaller, deeper forge table cannot be placed. This is the only item I've noticed this on, but wanted to point it out.


I'll post anything else if I find it, but I hope those are useful to you, and thank you for making what you've made!
