Ideas and Suggestions.
Any new feature suggestions should be made and will only be implemented on AA3

Automated Ark 3 Is out and ready to be used. So if you want future updates and new structures like the AA Blood Bagger and the AA Ant Hill then be sure to head over to the new mod and add-ons and have a look.

I would love to be able to see the feeding trough range like you have set up with the other items, also some way to modify the range. I really just want to extend the range of it just a little, kinda hate having to add another one just to reach 1 foundation more.

To go in the comment just below, I suggest a new feeding trough, with this feeting:

-> Can put three level of pull range, like small, medium, large (at your discretion for those)
-> To be able to see the range of feeding.
-> Can put food into baby born inventory till they become juvenil. (Not more that it can carry)
-> Like Grinder, can pick up food thrown on the floor. (Come in its pulling range, throw meat/berries/vegetables on the floor, and after a coold down, just pick it up.) May be an option to put this feature on/off to avoid server charge.
-> Why not also to put a "portable version" of refrigerated trough where you can put gas inside it directly, to avoid the use of electricity.

I have a suggestion if it's not added already.

Maybe add an oil bin for the dung beetle so that oil dose does not pile up in its inv. also maybe add an option for the compost bin to enable or disable pushing to them as well.

@north an OCD vault with oil in it will pull the oil from dung beetles ;)

@Eldo I have been working on all of those changes for the feeding trough already. The picking up dropped items is already in the test version and will be on next release. As far as babies go I am doing a LOT of testing this to be sure the babies that die quickly get food fast enough on high rate servers. That is not a function I want to have ANY bugs in when it releases.

As always you are doing a so damn good job bro. Nothing to add your honnor ;)

How about adding to the fertilizer silo the ability to not just pull normal fertilizer but also fertilizer from other mods? Example Rebalanced Compost Bin mod has a fertilizer bag that is made out of 10 normal fertlizer bags and has basically the combined amount of fertlizer as a normal bag. Be nice if the Silo grabbed those and filled the plots with those.

It will pull anything that is a child, or made from, the original fertilizer. I *may* be able to make it work with that, I'll ask the mod author for class names and see what I can come up with
requiemfang 22 Mar, 2017 @ 8:38pm 
Okay, I only ask is because I tried to fill it with the Big Fertilizer bags and then distribute them via the silo but it didn't do anything, nor did it grab them from that mods Composite Bin.
EldoRhaan 24 Mar, 2017 @ 3:24pm 
Is it possible to add the possibility for the silo fertilizer to distribute poop like fertilizer, I mean if we put it directly inside the inventory, is it possible that it distribute into the crop plots?
blitzfire911  [developer] 24 Mar, 2017 @ 4:51pm 
yes endo, it is
EldoRhaan 24 Mar, 2017 @ 6:50pm 
cool :)
EldoRhaan 25 Mar, 2017 @ 2:21am 
Also, is there a way, concerning the auto pulling of the Vault, to "mark" a Dino to avoid pulling only on this one? That could be nice, like I don't know with the system with the name for the vault.

i have a mod called the Vacuum Sorter witch is usefull it does similar to what your Vault does, i would love to see a better version in your mod. just to clarify... the Vacuum Sorter.... Add sort to all your storage boxes, then any items put into the sorter hit sort and they go to the appropriate places, there is an automatic collection too but its 50/50 and only works on dinos...
if you could make this, hopefully a better version it would be awesome :)
