WAK Outposts

Better Lost Colony outposts and resource caches.

WAK Outposts is a modified version of Better Outposts [QoL, Open Source] by Ferodra (V20), Renamed for the WAK servers. All credit for the original work goes to Ferodra.

Features

  • Stuck enemy recovery: outpost and cache enemies that leave the mission area, fall off a bridge or stop moving are teleported back; if nothing works they are removed from the mission.
  • Attack outpost cleanup: when only a few structures or enemies are left and stay unreachable, they are removed so the outpost can end (bosses excluded).
  • Unreachable city structures spawned too high are removed.
  • Reward multipliers: sigils and element, by difficulty and by defense outpost size; loot quality and quantity of outpost and cache crates.
  • Sigils from attack outposts outside the city (optional).
  • Alpha revenants at defense outposts (optional), and apex trophies for alpha Ossidons and revenants (optional).
  • Bronto miniboss damage scaling with the number of players at a defense outpost (optional, great for solo).
  • Config menu for singleplayer, and for admins on dedicated servers when enabled.

Not available in this version: OverrideMissionDifficultyLevel (Gamma/Beta/Alpha spawn chances). The Lost Colony mission manager it relies on is missing from the current ARK Dev Kit (UE 5.8), so it cannot be built. The setting is ignored; missions spawn with the normal chances.

Settings

  • Singleplayer and non-dedicated sessions: config menu in the action wheel ("WAK Outposts Configuration").
  • Dedicated servers: add a [WAK_OUTPOSTS] section to GameUserSettings.ini. Missing keys use their default value. With ServerUseConfigUI=true, admins edit everything in game and the INI is ignored (except that key).

MissionLootQuantityMultiplier is capped at 30: high values can crash clients, x4 is fine.

Coming from Better Outposts? Rename the section header [BetterOutposts] to [WAK_OUTPOSTS]; the keys are the same. Do not load both mods on the same map: sigils would be multiplied twice.
