Yes the source for the fountains are NOT interchangeable. I would recommend unsub, delete files from server and local, start the server and re-sub. A LOT has changed in this to make everything work right so its very possible it messed something up.

The wall fountain should be movable on the wall so you can raise and lower it and the source should snap appropriately inside of it. Look at the photos i posted.

As for the Stone Water Fountain Source... Yes that is the only place that it can be placed is inside the fountain. There is only snap point for each of Sources and each one MUST go with the correct fountain. I think I made it so you cant interchange them. Though I have not actually tried it.


Please try that let me know if your still having issues. The only thing that I can actually see is a sensitive placement of the wall fountain. It needs placed pretty high up (2 feet or up) for the inventory to work correctly. Placed at eye level it seems the inventory does not register.

soo removed mod saved game and put it back in working better now. the wal fountain is trinkable even without the small stone to place in but loks very good. statue placing i checked it but actually is no need to use it as i can trink from it without it
DemonFoxxy  [developer] 24 Apr, 2016 @ 4:17pm 
no it LOOKS drinkable. lol its not. thats just an ARK thing the way i had to build it. Take a water flask or empty bottle and put it in, it will actually break it. lol. Make sure you place the sources or you'll end up thinking that your drinking and filling but you wont be.

As for the Wall fountain, its a placement issue that I narrowed it down to. Place it so you can JUST see the orb and it tends to work. Ill get that bug worked out this week for next weeks release. Its very weird. lol

http://imgur.com/XbfvJRv - I kid you not its very weird. The 2nd in from the left has no working inventory. The other 3 do. The placement is that sensitive.

Yes it says he is drinking and even makes the sound but nothing should happen to your water meter on the right, but let your water drop like 1/3 down and try again, watch it. If it DOES however fill your water without the source thats awesome. in the Dev and my servers it does not do that. Please test that and let me know, im actually curious.

As for the lights do you like it?
Daywalker 24 Apr, 2016 @ 4:28pm 
ok working as intended he makes sound but waterlevel is not rising without the stone in it.

light is very nice , could be a lighter brighter or higher from far away you dont really see it. maybe a lightsource at the top of the fountain.

yeah ill continue to work on the light, its pretty tricky im trying to make it as natural as possible, keeping the source within the mesh and not shining through it. :)

The Dodo keeps disappearing on start up

Can others confirm this issue? If so I will do some work to correct it. Please confirm so I fix it asap

Not sure which issue you want confirmation on. My dodo fountains have not disappeared but the light does revert to blue any time you go out of render range or the server restarts.
Daywalker 15 Jul, 2016 @ 9:11am
