Dino Storage is a tamed creature storage and maintenance mod for  ARK: Survival Evolved. The mod acts as a more powerful substitute of  Cryopods and allows passive resource generation. This is a small mod designed to store dinos as items, similar to a pokeball! By removing tamed dinos from the world, it allows you to maintain a large library of stored dinos without hurting server performance! No more lagtastic dino barns or yards! Dino Storage obeys tribe and server tame limits on release, while allowing a large library of stored dinos that do not count against your tame limit. The mod is fully customizable via INI, making it easy to balance for PvP or PvE use!

You should consider this mod as "Obby+". This mod uses the Obby's data structure, everything that the Obby retains - this mod retains, and than some. This mod only adds extra data retention to what the Obby function already stores to bring greater QoL so that your dino does not come out on full mating cooldown, or have their various behavioral toggles reset like turret mode or victim item collection, etc. Therefore, I do not directly handle anything that the Obby's data structure retains including, but not limited to: stats, imprint, levels, colors, gender, or any of the other ~3,500 bytes of serialized data.

Items

Mod Config - How To

All settings for this mod always go in the gameusersettings.ini. You will need to add the header [DinoStorage2] to the bottom of the file.

Single Player Location

... ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Server Location

For dedicated servers, this file is on the server. The filepath might be:

... ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer

But many servers have a tab or section for it. The server must be offline when you edit this file.

  • You must include the [DinoStorage2] header.
  • You only need to include entries that you wish to override from the defaults.
  • You only need to include entries that are different.

Default Behaviors

The following is a list of all default behaviors, be sure to check out the mod config sections on how to extend more options and rules than what is listed here. Rates reflect actual world rates and are typically enhanced by 5% as an added incentive to remove actors from the world. Remember to consider this mod as Obby+. A lot of the data retention is done using obby mechanics, with added data retention for increased quality of life.

SpawnDino_DS

This script command allows you to spawn a highly configured dino. You can customize wild/tamed, levels, points per stat, maturity, imprint, etc. Because of the number of options and the fact that they all must be included in the command, it is strongly recommended that you use this command generator. This spreadsheet includes all the required options with descriptions beside each one for the required input. As you change the inputs, the command is automatically adjusted at the top for you to copy and paste.

When you open the spreadsheet, go File > Make a Copy. This will give you your own editable copy of the command generator.

Advanced Searching

Advanced searching is only available when using my custom UI. You can get to my custom UI by using the fire key (default: Left Click) with the Soul Finder for an area search, or you can access it on a per terminal basis by using the Advanced Search button inside of the Terminal inventory UI. With either method, you should eventually see this screen:


Searching scans both title and description using context matching. Note the search hint from above: Search using commas for "AND" statements and ! for "NOT" statements (This,Plus This,!But Not This)

➤⠀EXAMPLE⠀ONE
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⠀▬▬▬⠀▬▬⠀▬
We want to find:

  • A dino that has a color ID of 28 in region 5.
  • A dino who is female.
  • A baby (not adult, or not 100% mature).
  • A dino that is a Managarmr.


➤⠀EXAMPLE⠀TWO
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⠀▬▬▬⠀▬▬⠀▬
We want to find:

  • A dino who is male (not female).
  • A dino that is a Gigantopithecus.
  • A dino that has a 32 wild point stat in Health.
  • A dino that is ready to mate.

Admin Soul Recovery

You can disable recovery functionality entirely with the following config: [DinoStorage2] DisableRecovery=True USE: To use soul recovery, you access the inventory of a soul terminal and select the "Admin Soul Recovery" button found in the middle. If you are not an admin, an error message pops up on your screen. The terminal must not be toggled as being a tribute terminal/transmitter for this button to appear. There are three options: LOCAL: This lists what dinos have been trapped on that map. The data in this local list will be lost with mod removal, failure to load the mod, or map change EXPORT: This exports your local list into a .sav file located in ...\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\SaveGames\DinoStorage2\. You can choose any name, but if no name is given then it defaults to using "ExportedSouls". The data in these files will not be lost with mod removal or failure to load the mod IMPORT: This lets you import dinos from the .sav file created when you used export. This file must be in ...\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\SaveGames\DinoStorage2\ in order to be recognized. You can choose any name, but if no name is given then it defaults to using "ExportedSouls" ADDING DINOS: To add dinos to your local listing, you just have to trap them. It's that easy. Let's go over the finer details: EXISTING DINO ID: If it detects that the dino you captured is already in your local list, it will refresh the entry NEW DINO ID: If it detects that the dino you captured is NOT in your local list, it will add a new entry. There are a couple rules to this: LIMIT: If the limit is met, the oldest entry is removed in order to make a new entry. The default limit is 1,800 unique dinos. You can configure it by changing: RecoveryFileLimit=1800 NAT: An abbreviation for Newborn Auto Trap, by default NAT will not add captured babies to the local listing. This is to avoid filling your local listing with babies that would otherwise be killed off for not getting the right mutations, causing important dinos to be removed due to limits defined above. You can change this by setting: NewbornAutoTrapRecovery=True REMOVING DINOS: To remove dinos from your local list manually, you access your local list and to the far right will be a circle with a line through it that looks like a "no" sign. Press that button to remove that entry DESTROYING SOULS: When you destroy a soul by using the soul terminal's destroy soul button in the middle of it's inventory, it simply removes the item. It does not remove it from the local listing, allowing you to recover it if you accidentally destroyed it

Automation

Introduction

All features require soul presence to produce, and there is no limit/cap. The more you have in the terminal, the more that generates. It makes them feel more alive, and follows real world rates and mechanics/criteria. The default ini options allow a 5% bonus to production, to encourage it's use, but it can be modified to be nerfed lower than real world rates or increased higher than default values depending on desires.

All global multipliers, like egg laying, pooping, etc. are already configured in the math. Therefore, on average, 1.0 production multipliers should closely resemble real world rates. The default ini has a 1.05 multiplier to incentivize the removal of actors.

Automation is a powerful feature, and is only enabled by default in single player. This allows server owners to customize rates and costs to their desires before implementing it for use. To enable everything: [DinoStorage2] EnableAllGeneration=True EnableFertEggCollection=True EnableFruitSeeding=True EnableIncubation=True EnablePoopConversion=True Note: This only enables the ability to toggle the options, they still have to be toggled active in-game for performance reasons Further customization can be found in "Mod Config - Terminal" subsection "Automation" Steps on how to edit ini can be found in “Mod Config - How To”

Math Formulas

➤⠀WOOL⠀GENERATION

Successful Check (Fuel Consumed If Using Fuel)

  • (Time For Full Wool ÷ WC Hair Growth Multiplier) ÷ Full Wool Quantity Given = Wool Rate

➤⠀POOP⠀CONVERSION

Successful Check (Fuel Consumed If Using Fuel)

  • Formula is independent for each type of poop (same as the Beetle)
  • Accumulated Time + (Check Interval × Beetles × Speed Multiplier) = Accumulated Time
  • Accumulated Time ÷ Beetle Craft Time = Quantity To Convert

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⠀▬▬▬⠀▬▬⠀▬

  • Needs to be an adult.
  • Requires Beetle soul presence to utilize Dung Beetle's functions of poop conversion.

➤⠀UNFERTILE⠀EGG⠀GENERATION

Successful Check (Fuel Consumed If Using Fuel)

Egg Layers

  • Accumulated Time + (Check Interval × Egg Multiplier) = Accumulated Time
  • (Egg Interval Time × WC Egg Lay Multiplier) ÷ Ovi Multiplier = Egg Lay Rate
  • Accumulated Time ÷ Egg Lay Rate = Quantity To Lay
  • If lays than chance to produce egg is rolled.
  • Accumulated Time - (Quantity Laid × Egg Lay Rate) = Accumulated Time

Pooping Egg Layers (Dodo, Kairuku)

  • (Poop Interval × WC Poop Multiplier) ÷ Ovi Multiplier = Poop Rate
  • (Check Interval × Poop Multiplier) × Poop Rate = Chance To Poop (Can Go Above 100%)
  • If poops than chance for alternate poop is rolled.
  • Unfertilized egg laying usually relies on success of alternate poop.
  • Variables used match Jen's statement[gyazo.com] from gamepedia[ark.gamepedia.com]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬⠀▬▬▬⠀▬▬⠀▬

  • Needs to be an adult.
  • Generates items that passively generate in a dino's inventory over time.
  • Gives the appropriate items at the appropriate rates based on stored dino.
  • No limit, other than inventory slots.
  • This is the only function to not be 100% dynamic in supporting dinos. See below:

Requires direct casting for function support, therefore supported dinos is limited.

  • Unsupported modded dinos containing vanilla dino name tags will give vanilla returns.
  • If modders seek support for their dinos, please send me your interval datas.

Currently supported dinos:

  • No Untameables⠀---⠀ Ammonite, Cnidaria, Euryp, Chupacabra, JugBug
  • Eternal⠀---⠀JugBug
  • For all modded dino support it respects their ini options, rates, and item returns.

Modders, if you want Dino Storage passive generation support then I need this data:

  • Dino name tag
  • Dino descriptive name
  • Class of item(s) to give (if not vanilla than please give the full spawn path)
  • Interval(s) to give
  • Quantity(s) to give when interval is met
  • Any relative ini, including both header and option name of the ini.
    • Things like: ini needed to enable/disable, ini to alter interval(s), etc.

Using Fuel

By default, there is no fuel costs. Fuel costs are displayed in the inventory UI description for easy reference to players. Fuel consumption is defined by the check interval of the terminal. AutomationFuelCounter can customize how many check intervals occur before requiring fuel. TerminalNeedsPower can be used to require power. Optional if combined with fuel. It does one check to consume fuel, and on success than it generates all toggled. The cost does not get compounded for each toggle that is active. If you want to allow any egg or artifact, use the generic higher class as a resource. Example to make fuel cost 6x Gasoline, 10x Element Dust, and 1x Propellant: [DinoStorage2] TerminalAutomationFuel=/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Gasoline.PrimalItemResource_Gasoline:6,/Game/Extinction/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_ElementDust.PrimalItemResource_ElementDust:10,/Game/ScorchedEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Propellant.PrimalItemResource_Propellant:1

Automation

Overview - Read First

All features require soul presence to produce and there is no limit/cap. The more you have in the terminal, the more that generates. It makes them feel more alive and follows real world rates and mechanics/criteria. The default ini options allow a 5% bonus to production, to encourage it's use, but it can be modified to be nerfed lower than real world rates or increased higher than default values depending on desires.

All global multipliers, like egg laying, pooping, etc. are already configured in the math. Therefore, on average, 1.0 production multipliers should closely resemble real world rates. The default ini has a 1.05 multiplier to incentivize the removal of actors.

  • Automation is a powerful feature, and is only enabled by default in single player. This allows server owners to customize rates and costs to their desires before implementing it for use.
  • The message "Toggles Require Being Enabled in Server Config" never goes away. It is a notification, not an error. If you can check the toggles you have properly enabled automation.
