Info: Conversion Structure / Function
This mod includes an additional structure, which can help converting all already existing items into their vanilla versions. This function comes with no guaranty and I highly recommend to make a backup of your savefiles before using this function!

How does it work?
This function, once enabled by an admin, will search the hole map for structures and dinos/players with inventories. Once found, it will then look into those inventories and will replace all items matching with their vanilla counter parts.

Caution!
While this will work for traditional inventories (modded and unmodded). It can behave unwanted on uncommen storages. For example Dedicated storage. I've implemented methods which can deal with S+ Dedicated Storage and official Dedicated Storage. But if you use SS Dedicated Storage, you are out of luck. Then this function will not work for SS Dedicated Storage, because it hasn't the "Net Exec" API implement, which S+ is having. And therefor I'm not able to access it starting from this mod.

Hint for SS Dedicated Storage
If you use the the "pull" (not withdraw! / not transfer gun!) from somewhere and pull all items out of your DS, then those items will be the unmodded versions. This is possible because of the internal logic SS Dedicated Storage uses for pull and how it respects remapping. Or in this case no remapping anymore.

Howto use?
First you have to get the structure, which will help to execute the function:
cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/MinorStacks/Converter/PrimalItemStructure_ItemConverter_MinorStacks.PrimalItemStructure_ItemConverter_MinorStacks'" 1 0 0
After this, open the control wheel on this structure and choose "Convert to vanilla". Once this operation is started, depending on the size and inventories on your server, this can take some minutes and will also produce a bigger lag. When the operation is done, you will see a "Conversion Done" message on the top of your screen. Don't get distracted or you will maybe miss it and still don't know if it was finished :-D

Thanks for reporting. Was an copy paste error. I've forgot to change the paths to match this mod. Now it should be correct
