how do you get the crates?

Still using this, it's a great alternative to stacking mods that permanently alter resources and can't be removed later (and sometimes don't work in crafting recipes). A little outdated with newer DLC resources, but really helps for the heavier common stuff like metal.

-- Stay away from all CC structures other than the CC storage boxes (they constantly generate junk in their inventory).
-- Don't try to pack chitin or keratin (transforms them into a chitin/keratin combined form, which is useless for most recipes).

This is Perfect for Primitive and middle age server builds thanks

I love this mod so very much; I wish it were still being maintained. The bug with the crate opener table constantly filling itself with advanced crops is still present, it doesn't recognize many items from the DLC's, et cetera. I still use it when resource-gathering and for storage of common items, and it's fantastic for that.

Fav'd and a thumbs up to boot, this is a great idea that needs a lot more exposure!

@HyperSwitch - If you are renting server space, check the host site to see if they have an established method for enabling mods.

First you build the type of box you want, then you place items into it and they will be compressed. For the CC large storage box, you'll need a standard large storage box to build it. Take a look at your engrams. It's an amazingly useful mod.

How does this mod work, or how do you know if its working? Do I craft a box and the mod will make it do new things. First time trying to use modes in the game so I am so clueless. Also I started my own Ark server and I want everyone to be able to use this mod.

Alas - I figured maybe it was on github or something.

The only way to pick it up would be to start from scratch, or somehow get the files from Author. It WAS updated Aug 1, but I'm not sure if the author even reads this anymore.

It's a bummer it's no longer being developed, but even with the broken stuff, it's still an amazing help for those of us who have to travel long distances for resources.... or who are in-game hoarders. :) If another dev wanted to pick this up.... that would be super awesome!

doubt it..

is this still an active mod ?

cactus sap
lemons
carrots
rotten meat
narco berries
stimberries

These continuously spawn within the Mortar and Pestle over time creating full stacks of each... also, the engram and while in your inventory it is labeled as Mortar and Pestle CC but when you put it on the ground it is Mortar and Pestle BB.

Hello! @alborith So I'm trying to figure how exactly to set up the forge to open the boxes of metal. I can of course open them myself but it seems that the mod should just do that based on your description? I have tried to place the crate near the forge, the crate in the forge, A storage box by the forge with the crate in it. None of these seem to do the trick =\ any tips?

I had a mod request that seems to be similar to you mod.
Could you please take a look at it and tell me if that could be added to your mod?

please make separate crates for Keratin and Chittin remove the combined crate Chitin/keratin
-----
that mechanic seriously wasted my time combined all my Keratin which i needed to be separated for specific engram resources that do not use combined Chitin/keratin

I'm also having problems with the mortal and pestle - when I opened it, it had 300 slots full of 50, and there were many stacks of the following:
cactus sap
lemons
carrots
rotten meat
narco berries
stimberries
Removing these causes more stacks to instantly spawn, so it cannot be emptied. :)

I have placed a crate of metal inside the CC forge, as well as next to it, but it's not pulling the metal out - what should I check, please? Thanks!

ok ty a lot

@Don - you don't open them, per se; you destroy them to receive the full stacks of items.

hello, please, you forgot to post the spawn codes!

hey dude,on my server we all did the crates,BUTT htf you open them??
the stuff created in box n1 i cant open it back in box1 and no where and same happens to box n2
,in my reibw we have al resources on this mod and we are unable to open them

Woot me loves some stacks, thank you
---
and yeah i thought about the pros and cons of increased crate size, only stability issue i thought of is having a larger amount of vanilla stacks spawn at one time, at some point, will cause enough lag to crash game or at times not have all items spawn, depending on initial stability of the users PC, other cons I thought of where just superficial, like not being able to move for being over loaded
---
I do think this mod is TOPS above all the STACK mods, this mod does not break immersion for me and is 100% stack-able with everything, unlike the STACK mods, which change core resources and make them not function..

Thanks for the quick fix, alborith! :) Great stuff.

@Vactav CC small storage box, CC small vault and CC large vault are now stackable with upcoming update :) As far as the stack sizes and how many items are required to create a crate their are several reasons why I decided to keep things uniform and in 600 per crate. To explain them would take more characters than a post will allow :) A bench that can open all the crates can be done and will look into it if more people want it.

Fix for the CC large Storage box will be up soon

Yes indeed. Kind of a bummer, because there doesn't seem to be any spawn commands (I guess I could go sort through blueprints in the gamedir though,) and that means we can't crate things like fertilizer, which requires 20 items. Still, pretty stinking cool mod!

I noticed that with the CC Large Storage Box :D makes it kind of impossible

The crafting requirement for the CC Large Storage Box... is a CC Large Storage Box. :D

This mod does have it's uses, but why not make it INI Configurable? It would benefit greatly for those who use mods that increase stack sizes.

Anyone else unable to craft the large storage box?

love this mod, works great better than the stack mods,
if you use mods that do not use the stack mod resources, use this mod

Request: make the crate crafters stackable please
and make versions of the crate crafters for larger stacks, set the high limit for each crate-able item to the max number of slots in the largest chest, and make smaller crate-able limits to match each storage containers slots, (example with wood: max vanilla stack is 100, max slots in the smallest storage max is 15, so make a 1500 item crate, and repeat for each storage box size)
also please make a single item/bench, make it a table you can place stuff on, that will open all crates, be nice to have this work with the canned items too

lots of requests but I do love this mod
