Crafting cost override
To override the Element crafting cost, alter the BaseResourceRequirement number(s) below and place the entire code in your game.ini file. You can also replace resources by altering the Resource item type or remove/add resources.

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_SimpleTekElement_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemArtifactGeneric_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Polymer_C",BaseResourceRequirement=75.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Crystal_C",BaseResourceRequirement=50.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Electronics_C",BaseResourceRequirement=25.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))

You can change it with the code above. "You can also replace resources by altering the Resource item type or remove/add resources"

hello! I installed this mod in my server. Its working ok but i dont know if i did anything wrong overriding the resourses.

I set it at 2 Artifacts, 150 Polymer, 100 Crystal, 75 Electronics and 40 Black Pearls.

The problem is that with those settings the crafting station is Making 45 of Element instead of 30. is that normal?

If you can post your complete ini settings it may help as I have no idea how that is even possible. Unless WC changed something, Element is coded to spawn stacks of 10. Do you use a stacking mod by chance?

If I want to remove the artifact requirement I just have this in right?
ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_SimpleTekElement_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Polymer_C",BaseResourceRequirement=75.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Crystal_C",BaseResourceRequirement=50.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Electronics_C",BaseResourceRequirement=25.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false))


Also does this Element work with all the tek teir stuff? I do not have to convert it or anything?

This makes vanilla element, not modded. You're missing parenthesis, copy this. ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_SimpleTekElement_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Polymer_C",BaseResourceRequirement=75.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Crystal_C",BaseResourceRequirement=50.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Electronics_C",BaseResourceRequirement=25.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)))

Thanks. I'll be adding this mod and if I want to add more resources to make the Element, I just copy and paste and edit the copied one of the existing resources. Right?
bestscreenname  [developer] 16 Mar, 2017 @ 5:42am 
Yep, just take note of the parenthesis, commas, and quotes.

I haven't changed any of the settings for the mod and it spawns element in just stacks of 3 -- would the stacking mod I'm using (StackSM) cause that? Or is there a way to change how much element is produced?
bestscreenname  [developer] 1 Apr, 2017 @ 5:55pm 
They changed Element from spawning as a stack to one single Element in v256. I've just published an update to this mod that should fix it and correctly craft 30 instead of 3. Please update to the latest version.

Awesome, much thanks.

Can i make modded items a requirement? Like alpha blood from the tamable alphas mod?
Mecka Tinker 29 Apr, 2017 @ 8:02am 
Hello! I was hoping not to have to switch and liked the fact this mod offered a way to supposedly change resource costs, however upon copying the code that was posted in post #7 and placing it in the game.ini file located in \Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor that this simply does not work. Is there something more that needs to be done in the game.ini file for this to work because as the line stands simply copying and pasting that config does not work.
Keep in mind, I do have other edits in my game.ini file and all other edits work fine, this this one won't work.

You can post your ini here of you want and I'll see what's wrong but the code posted works if you're already set up for ini options. A lot of the time I notice people are missing something simple.
