@mquaale - should be - it doesn't recognize weight or anything specific. The only way it wouldn't be is if the Rebalanced Mod uses a different item number, like they make one up.
mquaale Oct 19, 2024 @ 7:51am 
Is this mod stackable with the Rebalanced Blackpearls mod(makes black pearls the same weight as silica pearls)?

@ Shadow Darkpaw

OOo- many things can cause that:
From incorrect syntax, incorrect configuration variables being used, or incorrect values being used to read/write permissions and even more.
Shadow Darkpaw Nov 26, 2023 @ 5:04pm 
Whenever i add the config to the .ini and restart the non-dedicated server, the .ini just keeps resetting and removing the added config settings

@Phae, its because your using S+ large crop plots. You have to use vanilla ones, or you can edit the recipe to use S+ versions. Just easier to use the vanilla ones tho. Only replying in case someone else has this issue
Paxination Nov 9, 2023 @ 6:29pm 
You've never been able to put white pearls in it. Just leave them in it. Its not pointless. And if you think because the pulling system of S+ will pull them out you can make how ever many pearl beds you want and name them with a * in the name to prevent S+ from pulling from them so you will have dedicated black pearl beds.

It worked when I used s plus table to undo it and make it plain. Thanks for all the help and replies.
MasterTenchi  [author] Sep 2, 2023 @ 7:53pm 
@Phae- sounds like there might be another mod messing with the plots perhaps. I’ve not heard of anyone having that problem before.
Phae Aug 28, 2023 @ 8:58am 
I am on a server that has this mod but I cannot make it. I have made 20 large plots and it still says I need the large plot. Is there a trick to this?
SunGod Aug 1, 2022 @ 5:55am 
Bug prevents you from putting pearls into bed to produce black pearls. White pearl generation still works, but when you get to Tek tier this becomes less helpful.
Orionsghost Sep 25, 2021 @ 1:17am 
can you edit to pearls to be put in to bed please
Private Tito Aug 16, 2021 @ 6:45pm 
@MasterTenchiTTV Alright, thanks!
MasterTenchi  [author] Aug 16, 2021 @ 8:23am 
Yeah - I have a rather over the top rig.. the shine of the reflective water makes it looks like that from that angle. If you're running it in the server, you should see it's crafting cost...

If not:

Level 35 Engram Costing 20 Points

1 x Large Crop Plot
5 x Cementing Paste
20 x Oil
10 Silica Pearls
Private Tito Aug 15, 2021 @ 5:47am 
@MasterTenchiTTV I'm curious if the graphic settings was set to max because it looks a bit weird (the preview picture), and what's the crafting cost?
MasterTenchi  [author] Aug 15, 2021 @ 2:41am 
Well, without changes to anything else - 30 = 7 mins real time, give or take. There's other timer settings that might mess that up - day/night cycles, etc...

Hope that helps!
Private Tito Aug 14, 2021 @ 9:34am 
@MasterTenchiTTV check below please
Private Tito Aug 14, 2021 @ 9:33am 
how approximately long it takes to reach 30 "ticks a second" so I can set the ini files for it to be longer. I want it to be around 2.5 minutes per pearl
Crazy Mar 11, 2021 @ 12:36am 
k thanks
MasterTenchi  [author] Mar 10, 2021 @ 12:33pm 
@Crazy Boy: The game uses it's own internal timer / ticks a second. The lower the number in the file, the faster it will go.
Crazy Mar 10, 2021 @ 11:17am 
Is it 30 sek or 30 min
静静的饲养员 Feb 2, 2021 @ 5:36am 
Is this GonNa make it go faster?
[PearlBed]
WhitePearlTimer=1
BlackPearlTimer=2
YellowBoi Nov 29, 2020 @ 8:54am 
Thank you ^_^
MasterTenchi  [author] Nov 27, 2020 @ 1:49pm 
@Berak - they should.. they are internal hard coded numbers from Ark, which runs floating decimals all over the place.
YellowBoi Nov 27, 2020 @ 1:54am 
Hi, I love the mod, and thank you so much. anyway do both timer work with decimal numbers?
MasterTenchi  [author] Nov 24, 2020 @ 2:09pm 
@Everyone -

2020 has been hard on every family out there, mine no exception. I had been putting off working on projects mainly due to laziness and then lack of time on my part. I am sorry for that, those two are my own faults, but it seems 2020 wasn't done kicking me in the nads yet:

I am posting this to let everyone know that my raw editable files for my projects all got destroyed, and there is no way to use the files that have been uploaded to recreate them the same. I have to start over on ALL my projects.

As it sits, I have to - not by choice - abandon these mods in their current forms in order to create all new ones to replace them. (unless something amazing changes in the future in the mod creating software). I will be spending a ton of time trying to salvage as much as I can from the mods first before I throw in the towel and start over, hopefully there is some hidden way to reuse what I have.

Thanks for the support and love everyone!
MrTwitchnAnubis Nov 6, 2020 @ 9:36pm 
okay thank you
MasterTenchi  [author] Nov 6, 2020 @ 9:33pm 
Yes Sir.
MrTwitchnAnubis Nov 6, 2020 @ 4:59pm 
so the information for the timer goes into the GameUserSettings.ini correct?
Cryptfeen Sep 11, 2020 @ 4:52am 
Thank you for the help, I really appreciate
MasterTenchi  [author] Sep 9, 2020 @ 7:21pm 
I chatted with him in DM, he figured it out just before I got to him. :D
:mpgb_ayumi:
Kham Sep 9, 2020 @ 6:33pm 
@Cryptfeen it wont start making black pearls until it's finished processing all of the stone, so dumping in 11k stone is going to take you a long time. I tend to put in 100 per plot at a time.
Cryptfeen Sep 9, 2020 @ 9:38am 
I,m a little confused with this mod. i have the setting at below just to see what i,m doing wrong and i cannot get any black pearls. i have 11k stone and 183 pearls and its been running about a day now. i am on a private server that i am renting. please help me.
[PearlBed]
WhitePearlTimer=10
BlackPearlTimer=30
Reign Jan 28, 2020 @ 10:49am 
anyway you can make these bad boys snap to structure for placement? ive gotten REALLY good at eyeballing it but would love a nice even snap.
Samuel Stiffy Jan 8, 2020 @ 8:37pm 
@Kham thanks you, I assumed it was so but didn't notice any changes to the time. Come to find out the ini file keeps resetting back to default numbers for some reason. It weird because its only happening with this mod the rest are fine with changing timers and what not.
Kham Jan 5, 2020 @ 5:20am 
Smaller numbers = faster.
Samuel Stiffy Jan 4, 2020 @ 9:15pm 
honestly i dont really care what the numbers represent at this point, just need to know if smaller or larger number make it go faster lol
Eleros Dec 30, 2019 @ 1:17am 
I forgot to mention, amazing mod keep it up ^.^ <3
Eleros Dec 27, 2019 @ 7:00pm 
Awesome, wasn't sure how it worked but now I know the Ark hard coded timer is 1=13IRL seconds so I can work with that <3
MasterTenchi  [author] Dec 27, 2019 @ 1:32pm 
@ Eleros : the timer is based on an internal (ARK hard coded) timer. Can't change it, they can though. All I can do is use a multiplier against it giving some control. So lower number, faster completion. :winter2019happyyul:
Eleros Dec 27, 2019 @ 12:04pm 
On a completely unrelated note: great mod :D
On a completely related note: I have no idea if this is just me but setting WhitePearlTimer to =1 equates to 13 seconds until completion. Is this meant to happen?
Eleros Dec 27, 2019 @ 11:49am 
Just asking @CFrankie if it's possible, but I am confused as to the time, is this 30 seconds for WhitePearlTimer? I have left it for about 2 minutes with no return so I am assuming minutes, in which case I'll change to what I prefer :3
Just as a heads up, if you could mention time specific to seconds, minutes, hours of even days (god I hope not :P) Then (at least) I would be greatly appreciative for easier integration <3
MasterTenchi  [author] Oct 27, 2019 @ 3:16am 
@OrioN - Wow. Never had that before...

Are these in your GameUserSttings.ini:

[PearlBed]
WhitePearlTimer=30
BlackPearlTimer=120
OrioN Oct 25, 2019 @ 3:14pm 
How does this mod work, i have added stone in it, waited 2 ingame days and not a single pearl. :)
Kham Mar 17, 2019 @ 6:01pm 
@GodOfSkittles mods don't to add settings by default, you just add it manually to the end of the file if you want to override any settings.
GodOfSkittles Mar 17, 2019 @ 5:25pm 
I went to GameUserSettings.INI and can't find the [PearlBed]
MasterTenchi  [author] Mar 17, 2019 @ 2:10pm 
@GodOfSkittles:

You can change the GameUserSettings.ini on your server to these to change creation times:

[PearlBed]
WhitePearlTimer=30
BlackPearlTimer=120

Sorry I can't detail more atm - I'm passing through here on my phone.
GodOfSkittles Mar 16, 2019 @ 6:17pm 
How do i customized the Time?
Player1 Feb 11, 2019 @ 6:07pm 
if there an effective minimal time you can set up?
MasterTenchi  [author] Feb 10, 2019 @ 5:26pm 
LOL - US, Me and The Family are Military.
MadJukes Feb 10, 2019 @ 4:35pm 
Wait what, what country are you in/from? Sounds like something in South America or Asia.
