there is a preaquatica beta channel for ark you can use

Broken as of aquatica launch. Thank you Kozenomenon for this mod, I was doing a caravan paracer nomadic play through and this mod brought so much quality of life for that.

i thought i put settings for that

curious how to adjust the wght reduction on the magic box n pandora box!!!!

Would making a blueprint of a Pandora Box with items inside of it dupe the items?

Are you still looooking too improve/update this mod? if so i think it woould be great too be able too open the boxes without having to place them. Like opening them in your inventory

update: After moving this mod really far up in my load order, it seems to have fixed the issue for now as I was able to craft it.

I'm also unable to craft the items on Singleplayer or even spawn them in. I get the same "Not Allowed" message as Geek_Loco below me when trying to craft. When spawning, nothing happens. The command runs, I get no error message, but the item doesn't show up in my inventory. Asked for help in the Discord only to have the server be completely dead aside from new people joining and still nobody getting help.

It would seem as though the problem is server related. On my local server which I set up through ASM, I get the same "Not Allowed" message when trying to craft a Pandoras Box. However, in my SP (non-dedicated server) Island that I have been using often recently and Genesis 2 which I haven't been in for almost a year, I was able to craft and use them without any issues. Both the servers and my SP use mostly the same mods with only a couple additional mods in SP, all using at least 50 mods. If there is anything else I can do to help diagnose, let me know.

We had used this mod fine before and I've used it recently in a couple SP maps, using the more expensive Pandoras Box primarily. This last week we loaded up our Island server that we barely used before, but I did have 6 of the "cheaper" boxes made with leech blood. 3 of those had items in them, but when I placed them on the ground, the only options were to pickup (I believe) or demolish. I thought that was odd, but I decided to use the SS Demo Gun which left a satchel from each that I could get the items back. When I just now tried to craft either box, at the top center of the screen, it said "Not allowed". I'll check my new local server and report back.

does it work with a fresh game and this is the only mod used?

when trying to use this I don't see the crafting recipe in the inventory, is this mod broken ATM?

This mod ran perfectly in my single player game and I had a great time playing ,thank you

I love this mod 🥰 very nice 👍

Took a long break on ark, returning now, i can't craft the boxes, neither can i admin spawn them in. the engrams are shown in the list. any tips?

Any chances on enabling blueprint storage back? I used to organize everything from various mods using those boxes - just pack the mod stuff to them and it's safe (even after removing the mod(s)). Much less of a headache to find something later, not to mention transferring hundreds of BPs (espacially from OSDs) between maps just one time. I really miss these.

Got it thanks. Found it deep in the comments. But thanks for the reply. Good job on the mob. : )

yes

Can you transfer maps with it? If I put element, boss trophy heads, etc. can I open on new map after picking it up?

so the multi only applies while the box is placed

and the boxes have spoil multiplier mechanic that applies while box is placed
can change with INI

simple items will only store their type and quantity. spoil will be reset for those.

there a different spoil timer when the box is picked up than when it's placed? i got mutton spoiling but the timer when placed is like, 26 months

well i can confirm, it's a mod conflict. do either of you use Ark Nucleus? it's really the only mod i can think of out of the ones i use that may have a problem with this mod.

Huh, so it is loading priority then, you didn't have to do this before. Some mod don't like this one and i'm betting S+ "blocks" it. Glad it helped.

Ha, thanks marowc91. It sems to need to be high or above some mods in loadorder. Works now.

For me mod works flawlessly on single player. I had exact same problem, but when I restarted the game after loading the save first time after update (and moved the mod to the top of the mod loading priority, just to be sure it'll fix), it fixed itself. Steam downloaded something then by the way.

Sranappar_Wottan you're using 61 mods. Dark you're using 84 mods.
I don't think I will be looking into which mod could be causing whatever your issues are. ;)

I run all of my mods and handful others on my own cluster and even more on test svr where I check for issues etc.
And I run all of my mods on SP game too.
No such issues.

Conclusion: Mod not broken. Your issues are your own to troubleshoot.

Allright not a local issue then. Hopefully it will be fixed.

yea the bp's will show, but for me i'm not able to make or cheat them in.

Odd, we can not spawn them, but, we can see the bp'd in Arkitekt (Creative Mode mod). But when we ask it to spawn them, it shows a 0 at item count. So the bp's are there.

yea i'm still not able to either. deleted all the mods and allowed them all to re-dl but still saying not allowed.

Around 4th of jan there where posts about being broken. 6th of jan there was an update.

Is the mod still broken or is it fixed. We can not get the boxes on serveral maps. But that may be a local issue.

my bad, it was actually 684 mods, 27gigs haha. re-doing the 140 i've subbed to and will check after it's all done.

hmm maybe you have hit some kind of threshold..
should just full wipe all mods locally. unsub them all, wait for that to "download" then close steam entirely- from systray right click close.
then remove mods from the folders where you have ark installed.
also from the workshop cache.
its supposed to remove all that when you unsub but ya..

oh i dont know how to mess with mods. did notice last night unsubed mods dont get deleted so i gotta bout 460 mods in the folder.

you have corrupt mod perhaps. redownload all mods. make sure you fully wipe them locally first. google how to do that.
or you are mucking with the mod assets when you should not be. if you are, dont do that.

when i try to make ether of the boxes, a small pop up comes up saying "not allowed." any ideas?

Yeah, I wanted to move all BPs before I disable the mod to not jump between save files to restore them next time, but I was so disappointed I can't anymore. Good to know this isn't intended. I love that function!

oh i think i meant to allow blueprints, i must have forgotten to change that

One of the best functions of this mod no longer works. I could move blueprints from other mods to the boxes and safely disable said mods without losing items from them (something like Dino Storage does with dinos). Well, not anymore. Back to creating lots of backups again I guess.

when i try to make ether of the boxes, a small pop up comes up saying "not allowed." any ideas?

Hi, I like your mod, but with the major update all my dino squads are trapped in the boxes (Singleplayer). Is there a way to downgrade to the version before, until you fixed the mod?

not even i'd go that high o.O

just in case any of you out there using extremely extreme stackmod settings lol

the 2 billion thing just being a nice round number within the 32bit integer range
which would max out at ~2.1 billion and then cause rollover (negative qty) issues

a caveat for the locap items- the +1 for stacks will continue until 2billion qty. then it charges you for another 'set' so to speak, which means 3 cap for 1st and then +1 for more yet again until 2 billion qty... so on and so forth.

Quantum Capacity
... or magical lol

Items are either LoCap or HiCap. LoCap items eat 3 CAP for 1st stack then 1 CAP for every stack there after. This will be simple resource items that stack like stone, wood, etc.

HiCap items have additional data such as stats, egg data, dinos, or other custom (mods) data. The value assigned is based on the size (bytes) of the item.

To be honest, I tested stability of the game by transferring 50 boxes, which most of them were filled with dinos in cryopods or soul balls (the file size of my main world got too big, causing a performance drop, so...) along with stored items from disabled mods, to the other map, approx. 1300 dinos transferred at once. There were no crashes or data corruption (big shock!), but opening the transmitter inventory or uploading something to it caused a ~3 sec freeze, which is normal I guess. I did it only once though and won't do it again, not in that unstable mess we call Ark haha. Better using things as intended by the creator. Totally understandable that you had to put a limit on these boxes.

I was wondering what that CAP is. It basically is a protection against borking your save. This was needed lol. And glad you've found the fix for SP issues. Can't wait to try the reworked mod!

♥ That's good to know! I am excited for the next update :D You're the best! ♥
