The Tek Unlocker's resource requirements can be tailored to your preferences by adding the necessary information to Game.ini

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_TekUnlocker_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemArtifactGeneric_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl_C",BaseResourceRequirement=100.0,bCraftingRequireExactResource=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_Electronics_C",BaseResourceRequirement=50.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_RareMushroom_C",BaseResourceRequirement=100.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False),(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_ApexDrop_RockDrake_C",BaseResourceRequirement=10.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

This example changes the required materials to being:

• Generic Artifact x1
  
• Black Pearl x100
  
• Electronics x50
  
• Rare Mushroom x100
  
• Rock Drake Feather x10

Together with the engram editing options, the item can be configured to require level 1 with 0 engram points and only 1 thatch to craft it, if that's what is deemed suitable.

e.g.

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_TekUnlocker_C",EngramHidden=False,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramLevelRequirement=1,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

Conversely, the engram could be made to require every artifact, level whatever, various tributes, etc.


A brief "tutorial" for anyone who might be inexperienced in server configuration:

don't change:

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_TekUnlocker_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=(

first requirement entry:

(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemArtifactGeneric_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)

second requirement entry:

,(ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemResource_BlackPearl_C",BaseResourceRequirement=100.0,bCraftingRequireExactResource=False)
note the comma above (ResourceItem...

In the "PrimalItem..." section, the required item is specified. The correct names can be found in the spawn codes on the ARK Wiki[ark.gamepedia.com].

BaseResourceRequirements= the quantity of the required item.

bCraftingRequireExactResource=False should not be changed so as to maintain maximum compatibility with other mods.

After the final requirement entry, a total of 3 closing brackets are needed.

e.g.
bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=False)))

Each configuration entry should only be on one line, so avoid having word-wrap enabled in editors (the entire example at the top of the post starting with "ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=" is one entry).
