Bullshido Ki Implants - Premium

Bullshido Premium introduces a Ki-based implant system for ARK: Survival Ascended. Find hidden Bullshido Totems, collect Crystal Ki, write blueprints, and craft powerful implants that unlock superhuman abilities.

The engrams for this mod are not unlocked manually. You must find your first Bullshido Scroll to unlock them.

Core Loop

Explore - Bullshido Totems spawn in random locations.
Break Totems - Destroy them to obtain Bullshido writings and a random amount of Crystal Ki.
Write Blueprint - Use the Bullshido Scroll pages to unlock the engrams and create a Ki Implant Blueprint (not the implant).
Craft Implant - The implant requires extreme temperatures and must be forged in the Implant Forge.
Refine Ki Resources - At the Implant Forge, survivors can craft Crystal Ki at Level 60 and write Bullshido Scrolls at Level 90..

Important Rules

Stamina + Crystal Wear - All abilities consume the player's Stamina and drain the implant's Crystal Ki durability.
No Repairs - Once an implant reaches 0 durability, it becomes inert and cannot be repaired.
DNA Binding - The first time an implant is used, it imprints the survivor's DNA. After bonding, only that player can use the implant.

Blueprint Quality

Blueprint quality is earned through progression:

Below Level 60 - Blueprints are always Primitive.
Level 60+ - Higher-quality blueprints become possible, up to Ascendant.

Power Scaling

Implant effectiveness scales with the survivor's Melee Damage multiplier. This scaling affects multiple techniques, including Throwable Ki Ball and Super Punch in Combat Ki.
