Foxes....Can I have a purty fox statue? Or a stuffed animal? Or anything really? XD

Drink machine for dispensing Healing Brews, Energy Brews, and custom drinks? You would have to add them to the inv to grab them, however.

you have already added what i've been wanting, a really nice bed.
i guess if i had to think of something i would like to see a big game hunter trophies, maybe a sabercat hide rug, or raptor head to mount on my wall. I was telling my friend the other day it would be neat to see a bed made from dino bones and a sabercat hide for a blanket

I would like to see some big wallposter, which I can paint.
The canvas ingame are annoying and you need to split the pic and bla...and some pictures would require something like 10x10 canvas or so...and then you see everywhere the wooden part..
So yea, some clean white big wallposter (different sizes) would be rly awesome. They can work like canvas (you put them on a wall)..just bigger..and without the wooden stuff xD

Edit: or even better, the wallpaper/poster should have different background colours. Like white, black...the typical ones. Would be cool too!

Hi ClipZ!

So everyone on our server is loving the mod! Thank you for all of your hard work, especially seperating out those critical engrams for us :D The only other item I can think of that might need to be seperated out for balance purposes might be the solar panel. I haven't used it yet, but if it works as an unlimited energy source, negating the need to farm gasoline, some server owners may not want it.

Overall, balance-wise, most of the items are really, really cheap to make for what you get out of it. I haven't looked at it too closely yet and I'm admittedly just going off of my gut feeling from what I've noticed and the comments I've gotten from my players. They love cheap items, but having to farm for it makes them a little more invested in it after they get it and keeps 'em interested and entertained.


As for new ideas and suggestions... Would you be able to expose the base attack variables for the weapons? They look amazing and I'd love to give them out as prizes for winning our coliseum events, but the few I've played with so far seemed pretty OP. It would be awesome if we were given the ability to scale the damage to better fit each of our servers. Until then, if you could list the base attack values for each, that would save me a lot of testing time :)

I hate to say it cause I know you want to keep it all together as one mod, but you might want to eventually consider grouping the similar items into a few smaller mods. Because of its current size, and I know you have a ton of great ideas for more, its going to seriously hurt each time we need to update the whole thing! lol There are pros and cons either way, so whatever direction you choose to go, your stuff is worth it.

For a specific item, I love how creative the Angel Statue with the secret passage is! I would like to see an additional one with a slight alteration... Rather than going straight through the sides, the secret passage would go through one side and out the back; that way one could place the statue along one of their straight outter walls instead of wedged in a corner like the current one would need to be. Another possibility would be a straight passage from the front to the rear, only the front entrance has a little lip at the bottom that would block you... unless you knew to jump over it... :D That little lip would add a touch of security that would hinder casual passerbys and wild dinos from accidentally wandering in.

I haven't tested it yet, so you may have already done this next one, but just in case... It would be wicked cool if the doorbell messaged the owner the name and tribe of whoever uses it. Check out the mod Base Radar https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=550271303 as that mod's author found a great way of doing this. Whenever anyone gets near it, it messages the owner a message of their name and tribe using the same message type as a death message. It would hopefully be a simple tweak to have the doorbell do the same. I'm sure the author, kilrath81, would be able to help if you needed it. Like you, he's been wicked cool about working with server owners to tweak his mod to help with their needs. If we then had the ability to name each individual doorbell and have that name added to the message, they would be super useful cause we'd then know exactly where any visitors would be!

Keep up the great work! Know that your contribution to the ARK community is appreciated.

During creating my home...I found some missing stuff xD
Kitchen:
- (utility) sink
- cupboard (maybe for bottom and some for the wall)
- maybe some "engrams" for the gas stove..like, add meat and this rockarot and this and this to make a pizza or some stuff. So we can put them on a table or so...(sounds like Sim allrdy, but well XD)
- dishes and stuff like a knife,spoon (also to put it on table)

Bathroom:
- towels! There are towerholder..but no towels xD
- a mirror-cosmetic cupboard (we could put the colours in or so)

tv-room:
- smaller tables. The current tables are all too tall to fit as sofa table. Wanna watch TV and not the table in front xD
- stuff like "bag of potato chips", which can be placed and the "sofa table" - no need to be eatable, but as decoration :D
- give the tv some "screens", so it seems like, that some movie is running. Simply E should switch between them. (Popular moviestuff, like Marvelstuff, Fast & Furios and so on..)

bedroom:
- smaller tv puttable at a wall (no mega big tv, like the current one xD)
- romantic candles..idk

random stuff:
- 'hollywood swing'[www.google.de] (idk real english name, better check the link to see what I mean xD)
- normal swing
- sandbox with kiddytoystuff in it
- bookshelf filled with books (so ppl get the impression that Im smart lol)
- some flowerstuff for the roof-deck/terrace
- swimming pool (for the ground and one for the roof? yea I like stuff on my roof..) If irrigated even filled with water!
- such a tabletop soccer (idk if its possible to make it useable, but as decoration would be fine too)

Hmpf..long list...sry xD
But maybe you like some ideas =)

I would love to see a throwable pike or upgraded spear. I really enjoy the mechanic of throwing a spear in the face of a Dino but the current spear is junk. Maybe have a few different options like you did with the axes and swords. A metal spear, obsidian spear, crystal spear or maybe even a tranq. spear. Also having them fairly light so you can carry a few with you to take out that high level Rex. Great mod, keep it up.

please make the minecraft cubes a standalone mod, please :) I only use them and of course i can disable the other stuff but that will be a hassle everytime i rebot the server.

Regarding the fridge in this, can you make it act like a normal fridge instead of a pserve bin? Make it require or not require electric to run, but hidden wires to the junction box please <3
