ok i adjusted to .3 and rebooted this morning, should be fixed, but i'm not to the point of breeding yet so test it and get back to me.

Try "BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.175" in the Game ini. Tat should make impriting about every 30 minutes.
There is a spreadsheet on Google Drive linked, think we are currently on 0.05 which is about 10ish minutes; 0.334 would be about 60 minutes which would be fine too.

Anyone that has already started playing may want to check their engram points to make sure everything looks ok. I patched out the element issue with supply drops last night, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the config file for the extra engram points per level so i had -2000ish engram points :) It should be exactly back to the way it was, but if you have engram point issues let me know and i'll issue you a mindwipe potion.

Definately not a vanilla change. Toss'n away it is

Ok I have no idea what's up with the element. I removed all the drop modifications from the game.ini so they should be vanilla drop rates again, but 10 or so drop from certain supply drops still. Maybe it's a vanilla change and business as usual? Anyways I guess you can just keep throwing it away :)

Rather sure, lol, as I've thrown away about 50 Element so farm, think I'm 62 or something silly like that.
Visited your pond last night. Not sure if you have figured it out yet, but foundations and some other structures like fence foundations and pillars with a ceiling on top will block spawns of animals and resources.

hmm you sure? It appears the only things that were adjusted for element were the quantity dropped from the gorilla boss and spider boss so they were worthwhile to farm. The only other spot I see element mentioned is they were also added to the high level supply crates which i just now reduced the drop quantity significantly.

MIght check the drop script. Have been getting Element in some of the higer level drops, should only be obtainable from end bosses, which is also where you learn the engrams that require it.
On a side note, prime tamed a 125 spino tonight. w00t!!

Hmm I know I have the spawning set up correct, but the destroy all and re spawn command must not have worked. I'll have to look into it further.

Leeds are still in the water. Saw one near herby island tonight but was able to get a raft there and back with 2 stegos and a anky aboard :D Load what thine wishes.

Hmm well it looks like I can't disable specific features/machines in the config. Poo.

Oh and I would disable the pick up thing, but I'm soooooo keeping auto open-close doors :)

The building stuff is amazing compared to the vanilla method of building on hills and what not, after playing Conan exiles and seeing what building should be like in ark, the current vanilla method seems absolutely silly.

I've been looking further into the mod and I think I may add it but modify the config some to allow/disallow certain things.

The resource pulling makes sense to me coming from minecraft, but it does veer pretty far from vanilla as well as the other machines you mentioned. I'm mostly looking at this for not collision building, column/fence improvements, triangles, etc. everything else I would probably disable including the metal glass stuff.

Hypothetically if I add it, but restrict like mentioned above would this cause you to stop playing on the server?

Biggest things are the glass which has the strength of metal, the gardener which automatically harests your crops, the resource pull system, the auto gatherer which collects eggs and poop, the fact that you can dismantle a structure and move it without losing mats(!).
The improved building is nice, but IMO they took things a bit too far. Vanilla will be pretty well out the window at that point ;) That being said, a great deal of private servers use that mod, including alot of the Youtube streamers. S+ is a "sponsored" mode at this point.

Roll it how you want, it you want official then go to official I guess.

Btw what does it do that is game breaking o google :)

I didn't realize it had game breaking features. I just didn't want to put up with this stupid column snap to lower foundations ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and walls can't intersect the ground crap, but I may reconsider if it's going to unbalance the vanilla aspect

I will look into the leed disable as rafts would be nice to use.

While you are at it, please turn Leedsichthys off so we can have rafts. S+ shouldn't have any effect on what we have so far, just be aware that sometimes it takes mod authors a day or 2 to update after patches, similar to addons with WoW. Don't be surpised if S+ structures disappear after an update!
Would prefer not to use S+ as it also has some real game breaking additions, but then I'm used to doing things on official settings. The modifed drops alone were a bit of a shock :P

Ok so after spending time building in Ark I'll be installing the Structures Plus mod on the server. Just need to make sure it won't break our current map. Wanted to give everyone a heads up, this isn't game breaking it's a quality of life thing, you'll thank me if you don't already know what it is

Changed the breeding to 10x as well as the baby to mature timer to 10x (it was at 20x also)

20x breeding is a bit speedy. To put it in perspective, a Giga takes 13d18h to raise from an egg on official, at 20x it would instead take 16h30m. At 10x, it would take 1d9h to raise the same critter. As somenoe who would like to breed at some point, 20x would save ALOT of time. But 10x would be more than sufficient a boost I think. Spoil timer on meat is still a little longer than normal, but its workable if you plan for it.

wow i did 20x breeding lol, that seems high yes?

ok fine if you want to make it all easy to read for people :P

TL:DR
Flyer PVE Carry is turned on
Max Dino lvl 150
2x Harvesting
2x XP
10x Taming
Cave Building and Titan Taming enabled
Bonus Engram points per level
4x Corpse/Item Decomp, so it's easier to get your stuff back when you die
20x Breeding
Modified tribute drops.
