@Burgesssssss can you remake this mod for ARK Ascended?

Always loved this mod, ASA version maybe? :)

Such a good mod. Really missing it in ASA!

what is the range for this? will it take all babies on the server? because I have multiple people on the server all individually breeding at their own bases.

May I know how it give my dino exp ?A baby dino (liberated) range?

Feedback from noob: it was VERY non-obvious for me that INI settings have to go into ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\ GameUserSettings.ini - consider adding that explicit mention in the respective section. That aside - the mod is a GODSENT, saves soooo much time for stupid grind in favor of having fun. Thanks, and keep up the great job! =)

Thank you soo much for making this mod! I'm not that much into breeding, but I also have my share of babies I don't want to raise. I know it's only pixel, but I felt really bad killing them. This mod gives me a much better feeling about it. And it's adorable. Finally the Ichthyornis has a good use now.

Things seem to be working again as of 329.14...=)

Hey, love the mod!...But wanted to give a heads up, it's no longer working since the Gen 2 launch. Hoping there is a quick fix, cause the folks on my server enjoy using it...Thanks! =)

instead of begging for a baby drop off for other players make cheap cryo pods and use the mod called homing pigeon they have the best delivery system.

i agree

need a way to select certain babies to save from adoption. There are some keepers but the mod marks ALL babies for adoption. How about another option besides mass adoption in the wheel? Love the concept of this mod!

Add options to ship the baby to specific coordinates so the player can send the unwanted baby to another tribe.

This is astoundingly wholesome.

im gonna get this mod and never use it and kill the babies every time

Would there be a way to make it so that you could have the stork take the baby to another tribe/player randomly?

Awww that's adorable!

Such a cute idea *.* :-)

Thank you!!!

当看到这个mod的标题时，我认为这与收养小恐龙有关。但实际上，这实际上是要给鹳上不需要的婴儿，而不是杀死他们。如果您可以添加其他结构来采用婴儿恐龙，那将是一个好主意。
但是，这是一个很好的mod！

I was fooled by the title as well. It is good that the unwanted babies are taken care of by the stork, but I actually thought this would be where I could actually "adopt" a baby dino.

He needs a little blue cap like in the old Loony Tunes cartoons

When saw the title of this mod, I thought that it was about adopting baby dinos. But in reality, it is really about giving the stork unwanted babies instead of killing them. It would be a good idea if you could add another structure that allows you to adopt baby dinos. But still, it is a good mod!

If you have any ideas for what dinos should be adoptable, post it below.

it was sad to just see babys getting killed by you now this is better

Possible option to exempt adult dinos from mass collection? like I want them to be able to be whisked away individually but have an option to have them exempt from mass collection. lost half my dinos by accident lol

How does this mod interact with babies that have nonstandard resource drops (kairuku, tek babbies, stuff from mods etc)? Shotgunning babies is fun but I wouldn't mind the alternative

Man I did not know how much I wanted this mod until you made it. No more baby meat grinder. Thank you so much.

The update has also seemed to fix our issues. Thanks!

@Burgesssssss got the new update and rebooted server - looking good and working as expected again. Thanks so much for the update/change it seems to be working so far. Thanks for making this mod as well

@Eddie: Added the option there. Clamped between 1 and 10.

@Ghost: Yeah, so the buff is getting applied, but isn't visible on some clients. I changed some things there, which might fix the issue. Hard to say as I can't repro the problem. Failing that, there's no an option to bypass those checks altogether.

I did see this in the server logs (not the console when I ran it)
AdminCmd: getallstate Buff_StorkAdopter_C (PlayerName: GhosT, ARKID: **, SteamID: **)
0) Buff_StorkAdopter_C /Game/Maps/TheIslandSubMaps/TheIsland.TheIsland:PersistentLevel.Buff_StorkAdopter_C_410

@Burgesssssss nothing showed up after the command so I'm assuming that means no instances existed, I took two screenshots if it helps; no option on baby, bag in background
and no options on bag

I am also now having issues with not seeing the option to adopt. It works sometimes but not others. I was having no issues prior to the update.

On the server, you could open console and type....

cheat getallstate Buff_StorkAdopter_C

Then open console again, expand it and you should see how many instances of the buff are in the world. Might help to identify if the buff is being applied and perhaps the options are just not getting added to the multi-use wheel.

@Burgesssssss Tested in single player worked no problem - I copied the mod files from my PC to the server since I knew they worked, rebooted server and joined just me - still no icon or option, replaced the bag, but no change. Guess my server is just... special. Any ideas what else to try?

@Burgesssssss I did already delete it on the server and my client and let them redownload - I can try that again though. It is loading it since I see the bag (but no mass collect option) - is there any other admin/cheat commands I can use to debug this for you if that doesn't work?

That suggests they're not even getting he buff that adds the option to request collection, or clients aren't up to date, as the most recent mod update added that icon. If it works in SP with cheat SetBabyAge 0, I'd say it's just a bad update on the server, and removing and reinstalling should fix it.

@Burgesssssss No, no icon. we switched from pve to pvp and rebuilt the bag about 2 foundations away from some new babies but still no option to stork them. We left them unclaimed and rebooted the server, still no option or icon

Hmm. Are the babies getting the stork icon above their head?

@Burgesssssss Originally no, I did add DisableResourceDrop=true but that was after is had stopped working with the updates. It is a dedicated (self-hosted) server if that matters, and if there is anything else I can do/run to help give you information let me know

Hmm. Do you run any of the ini options?

@Burgesssssss thanks for the reply - I'm tribe admin so I don't think its a rank issue? we tried fresh unclaimed (just hatched) as well as claimed (just hatched) babies no option anymore, the stork bag doesn't have any options but 'pickup' or 'destroy' - the others that tested are able to unclaim as well with the tribe but no stork option anymore (much to my wife's dismay she loves this mod)

@Eddie: I may add an ini option. People prev stated it was too long at 2.5 secs, so I reduced it to 1.0.

@Ghost: Are you trying with already claimed babies or pre-claimed babies? If they're already claimed, you'll need to be allowed to unclaim through tribe rank to be able to release them (as mentioned in said patch notes), as it's pretty much the same as unclaiming.

anyone else having no adoption option after v1.03 / ark 310.36 patch? was working flawlessly prior to both patches on 4/18 - redownloading and restarting server doesn't help nor rebuilding the stork bag.

is there a way you could add an option to lengthen the press time on the adoption? i just storked a baby i was trying to export to smart breeder because the wheel fluttered and swapped the options and stork pieces of the wheel

@Burgesssssss
Man thank you for this great update!
Awesome job with the option to remove resource drop and exclude dino from mass collection, this is very handy!

@AbuN4z1r: It was actually clamped at 1.0, but I've added a new option to disable it altogether.

Your mods rock dude! x)

this is super cute

This is the good stuff bro
