Sole Survivor Assistance Items and Resource grinding Structures

Improves quality of sole Survivor's life on the ARK faintly, additional crafting structures to place.
Description Engrams Items

This game mod includes several handy items for Dinos and Survivors, additional crafting facilites to craft or to refine resources and one default clothes skin set (for RP purpose).

Engrams you need to unlock:

  • "You cannot rob me" Drink level 1 (costs 0). Some Dinos like non-Aberration Pegomastax, Ichthyornis and Microraptors will ignore Survivors for a while (effect lasts 20 min.)
  • "Pocket Limit Annihilator" Drink level 5 (costs 0). Reduces weight of your gear, ammo and resources in inventory by 50% (effect lasts 20 min.)
  • "Map to Home" level 5 (costs 0). Teleports Survivor and their tamed Dinos (700 meter radius) to the Home Location (the location should be set before travelling) - 5 min. cooldown. Travelling could be interrupted by moving self, jumping, riding, taking damage or attacking something.
  • "Lucky Dino" Talisman as non-blocking starter shield level 6 (costs 0). Adds extra armor value, but doesn't protect Survivor's gear from wearing off.
  • "Constructable Saddle" level 10 (costs 0). Craft this field saddle from Survivor's inventory to equip it right away after taming on any Dino to mount it (when no another saddle available).
  • "Dino Whistle" level 10 (costs 0). Need a help? Summon your Dino to your side! Dino should be assigned to the Whistle before you can summon it.
  • "Builder's Tools" level 4 (costs 0). While equipped, weight of basic crafting resources and structures is decreased significantly and additionally crafting speed is increased.
  • "ARK Hunter Attendant Bag" level 5 (costs 0). This structure contains additional crafting fabs from the mod to craft additional items and structures.

Additional items and structures could be crafted with the "ARK Hunter Attendant Bag".

Items:

  • "Dino Random Colorization" item: apply random colors to the Dino.
  • Experimental Hair Styles Selection item (removed in update until hair styles become available in the game).
  • Default clothes skins set (Scorched Earth silk armor) for role-playing purposes. This skin could be applied on base and Tek gear. Simply drag onto an item on your gear piece to apply this skin.
  • "Item Upgrade Chip". Can upgrade rating of your gear up to ascendant quality. Drag onto your gear piece to upgrade (item should be in Survivor's inventory, unequipped and without a skin). This item will not upgrade gear, crafted by Survivor with the Crafting Skill above 100%.
  • "Portable Loot Backpack". Some items could stockpile in inventory while adventuring like meat and hides. Instead of throwing it away, save items into this virtual backpack to withdraw resources later and not suffer weight.
  • "Rhino Shield". This is non-blocking type of shield, which could be equipped on the shield slot. While equipped, it creates protective shield around survivor. Taking direct damage decreases shield capacity. When shield capacity is to low, the damage will be forwarded back to the Survivor's health. Shield will re-charge, when no damage taken for at least 7 sec.
  • Craftable random Chibi Dino. Said nuf.
  • Consumable "Stego Crudite" for Dinos (and Survivors). It satisfies hunger and has healing properties for both. As well this item could be used as an optional tame food. Most Dinos will accept it.
  • "Helena's Hope Token". On death, Survivor will be teleported to their bed without respawn screen. No any items will be lost. Safes one life during 60 min only if in combat or from fall damage (cooldown 60 min). Hover mouse over this item in your inventory to see the time left. Requires to own a bed to use this item. Simply stay at the bed and use "Helena's Hope Token" item. If item is used far away from player's owned bed, the very first found owned bed will be assigned automatically. If no bed is present, the item will not work.
  • Lemonade "Pinokkio" Drink: keeps survivor hydrated, adds fair amount of Hyperthermic insulation. Effect lasts 30 min.
  • Harvesting Item "Combo Harvesting Tool": this combo harvesting tool works as metal pick or a metal hatchet as long proper tool extension is equipped (this attachmenet you will be able to craft). During harvesting it also should drop some extra random resources at the end.
  • "Mod Configuration": use this item to create settings in your GameUserSettings.ini configuration file for this mod. If you don't do it, nothing will be changed in your game and it will continue to work as intended by default for this mod. When item is used, default settings should be set at the beginning and you can change those later.
  • "Ammo Spike": while active, it will supply Survivors within the range with required ammunition (no tek weapons, no weapons, using gasoline or flamethrower ammo). Spike lasts for about 1 min. Use configuration setting item to add new settings in your config file.
  • "BioMed Biscuit" for large Dinos rapid health recovery. Most tamed Dinos will accept it, but not as regular food.
  • "Heavy Resources Transfer Container": transfers heavy resources (metal, obsidian, crystals, gems and sulfur) into the specified storages from player inventory over distances. Practical, while collecting many high weighted resources.
  • "Crystal Lenses" attachment for the default Spyglass. When this attachment is equipped, Spyglass can show nearby Explorer Note. Keep Spyglass equipped that an effect, sound and distance would guide you to the Note location.
  • "Professional Lens" attachment for the default Photocamera. While equipped, use key "PageUp" (D-PadUp on gamepad) to get a random Photography Assignment or key "PageDown" (D-PadDown on gamepad) to get the next Photography Assignment. The Photographer will be rewarded, if a specific assignment is completed (rewards come into player inventory). The Photography activity could give randomly 2 new items: 1) Experience Book: rewards reader and their Chibi Dino with the small amount of Experience Points. XP will be multiplied with item rating and your ARK Config file settings. 2) Tek Book: craft and then read this Book to learn a random Tek Engram.

Structures:

  • "Resource Pressure Works" structure: adds additional possibilities to extract new substances from different resources: Cactus Sap, Keratin, Oil, Organic Polymer, Propellant, Sand, Tree Sap, Silk, Bloodpacks, Giant Bee Honey.
  • "Metal Washer Tank" structure: some items, still being simple, require repairs with the amount of resources, which don't fit into any inventory (maybe only tek replicator inventory). This Washer will effectively "wash" your gear. Requires gasoline and water to start.
  • "Artificial Mollusk Shell" structure. If placed into the water, insert a bead in form of silicia pearl to start cultivation of Black Pearls. As an artificial organic life, it cannot be repaired.
  • "Extraterrestrial Element Grinder" structure. Place it on the ground outside to extract Elements from the deeper rock soil. Grinding time interval depends on your ARK fuel burn settings in the config file.
  • "Stone Garbage Can" container. Store your items in 200 slots storage.
  • "Oil Vein", "Water Vein" and "Gas Vein". Place default structures like Oil Pump, Water Well and Gas Collector over those structures respectively to generate resources. Structures work same way as natural world spawners and also have options to pick up or demolish (while demolish, all snapped structures will be destroyed).
  • "Healthy Sauna" structure: sit in the Sauna to restore some of your health points and receive small beneficial effect for the health and stamina regeneration. It also adds Hypothermic insulation for next 30 min. While activated, it warms up surrounding area.
  • "3D Construction Printer". This structure replicates a sample of a building element, placed inside (walls, floors, foundations etc). It doesn't replicate Tek structures.
  • "Structure Monitoring Device". This object repairs building blocks in a predefined range (requires resources in structure inventory to do so). As well it can close doors in a range and trigger lights (on/off) by demand.
