When placing down I only see the lower half of the spiral, is that normal?

put this underneath one of those floating island structures from eco's primordial decor

Would be kinda cool if it spawned randomly and added the stun effect. No reason, just a random magical force that stuns everything and everyone in the area.

Can you make it damage people with icy shards, and let us use it in guns and turrets, that would be sick. Looks cool :)

thx :)

id please

Hi @Steel - I added you because I have a private question/favor to ask of you. If you wouldn't mind adding me. It would be appreciated, thank you.

Pretty COOL!

I love it.

Hallo

hello

is there a way to change the color?
I want to use this vortex to mark the location of stargates, to make them easy to find, but the color is too close to the sky color

Lol thanks chicken block

why my ark fail to play ?

Could you make workable spells? Like overheating somebody, freezing somebody.. etc.? Would be awesome!

@Regole Not to mention GPS and flare gun. And most decently advanced players could just craft a mortar&pestle and a thatch foundation and make more narcotic. Though the vortex is cooler.

@Steel Regole has given me an idea, which may or may not be as easy as I'm hoping. If you're good at making particle textures, wouldn't you be able to find a way to use campfires to do smoke signals (where the smoke is just a really high particle emitter). Not saying go ahead and do it right now, but it's worth considering if you ever get bored or run out of ideas.

Yay blue vortices.

It'd be a good 'signal tower' for solo players; say, you're taming a dino but realize you don't have enough narcotic/kibble/etc. to finish and have to go get more. Or "Ooh! Here's some material I need, but my dino and I are loaded! DX Wait! I know! I'll set up a vortex! :D" Of course, you can already essentially do those things with the push pins on the map, but this looks significantly more awesome (and for some might be faster/easier than the pins).

If you could add color to them, they'd be good markers for tribes for . . . something. I play solo, so I have no further thought on that.

looks so awsome keep it up m8 maby tornado ore fire vortex?

@Axi92 Just demolish it (or smash it)

@Narutofan I *could* my problem is I'm pretty crazy about making only clean mods so thus far I have refused to make anything that could conflict with any other mod or ARK itself. A mod that altered drop particle effects would definitely not be clean.

hey dude i thought of a good idea for its use. couldnt you use this to replace the drop beacons animation

Does it decay? How to remove it?

@night crawler
Check this out...
It's a crystal.. that creates.. a vortex...

For real though.. It has no purpose it just looks neat

what does it do?

stalking

so i could actualy EAT in ark maybe? cause i tried to play in hardcore and i cant eat at all.

oki

would rather only stick to one contest entry :-) i'll look into uses for this later

maybe u could make one that attracts alpha or herbivore dinos.

Agree with Lynsis, you should make it so that it repels all bugs or makes them die or fly away. You could even sign it up for the contest then, because as simple as it is, its a really good idea :)

Interesting concept, works, looks good, now to find a use for it, well done!

you should make one that repels all insects.

should do a red one that makes the place warmer.

yup! it makes the area you place it in colder too, but mostly just for the effect :-)

Looks cool. Just for effects?
