My server was repeatedly crashing while this mod was installed. I restarted a few times to try other things first and nothing worked, then when I removed the mod my server stopped timing out.

interesting. Do you have any other details regarding this?

Also just to clarify. Crash means the server stopped and is no longer on the list.
Timeout means the server is up but your unable to connect, if you had been connected your connection gets droped.
Did you try re-installing the mod?

About the only way the mod could get into an infinate loop if it some how got confused and was removeing and adding from the same object. Additionally even that can't happen unless someone activates the stone. There is no active code unless the user requests it to do something.

While I don't think it's possible for it to be adding/removing from the same object I'll see if there are some additonal safe guards I can put in.

The state of the object and any action it's taking is not saved so a reboot would intereupt any action and it would not auto-resume.

@badgirl In review there isn't anyway for the code to end in an endless loop. But a few things come to mind.

1) If there are a large number of corpses or death caches in your world, like with any other command that has to procress a large number of objects it takes so much time that the clients will timeout, but the server stays up using max cpu until the procress that is running finnishes.

This isn't something I can do much about with this mod. It would be possible to make a utility that could check for this problem and report back it's findings, it would run a little lighter so it wouldn't take as long but you still might get disconnected while it ran.

2) Someone is spamming the command causing it to run over and over and over. I'm going to add a forced delay to help prevent this if it's happening.

In either case someone has to be activating a stone for the condition to start.

After much investigation its been discovered that the crashing was being caused by Annunaki and not your mod. It was just a co-incidence that this issue with the beavers in annunaki appeared at the same time that I had loaded this mod onto the server. I apologize for any time you wasted trying to figure out the problem.

@Badgirl thanks so much for the follow up. The effort to investigate wasn't without benifit so it's all good :)

:) super. With all the crashing and problems since the latest patch, your mod is EXTREMELY welcome, tired of trying to fish my body out of the ocean

Assuming it's there to be fished out in the first place ....

After your update, It didnt recover my items.
But it did work before your update... But hey, keep up the good work, it did work... :-)

@Lers79 ty. Re-update the mod and let me know if the issue is resolved. You can test it by doing a 'drop-all' with the contents of your inventory. Best to test with 1 useless item.

But I do beleive the issue is resolved.

So, I'm new to ARK, got about 6 hrs into gameplay and loving it. Then I find a swamp and die. A lot. Decided to find some thing to help me get my stuff back, and found this. It seemed cool. Then I died again. Used the tombstone, didn't get anything back. Looked for my body, less then three mins away, gone. This has happened twice now.

STATS -
Solo play
No other mods at all, muchless active
Stone tools, Bow & arrows, basic resources, and my Dinos that deid because I wasn't there.
Description given

I realize the dinos are my fault for dying but I still blame you. Its all good though, you seem to be a good modder from the reviws, so thanks. Maybe it is just a problem with solo play. It's happened to me before.

Thanks for your hard work and good luck.

TargeT_PsY when you load up the single player game what is the title of the mod in the list? It will incldude the mods version number? What map are you playing on?

given the other reports you've at least stated that you checked for it when the stone didn't work. So I'm wondering if it just never was there in the first place.

I will work on some status messages.

Had a random bug. I subed to mod yesterday loaded up scorched earth map and placed and used mod fine. Today I made a server for friends and now the tombstone wont place. It is green and not obstructed but it just clicks and fades away stays in my inventory. Reloading server now and moving it in load order let me know if you can think anything else to try will let you know.

@Draco1122 Any time that happens with a mod it means the mod files that you installed are bad. You should delete the file and re-install. If it happens a 2nd time I recommend you ftp a copy of the mod from your PC to the server.

Playing on the standard "The ARK" map and version is 1.0.8

Sorry for the delay, life happened and smacked me in the back of the head.
