How are upgrades calculated? I am wondering if it is cheaper to upgrade things like saddles to ascendant or find/make a blueprint.

So we have the mod in the mod list, but all the engrams are not showing.

please give me steam glasses, I'm saving up for a black profile from dying light 2
van Grunz 21 Apr @ 4:10pm 
Yes: more hitpoints and more inventory slots, so you can upgrade higher tiers
Henbog 21 Apr @ 12:17pm 
Do the tables made from rarer materials actually provide any benefit or is just visual?
van Grunz 15 Apr @ 9:35pm 
Nope, just like written: for the abilitity to upgrade modded stuff this mod has to be later in load order. Also you cannot upgrade stuff that doesn't have quality (primitive/ramshakle...ascendant).
Tenebris 15 Apr @ 11:27am 
How would I got about adding another mod item (in this case Valyrian Reins from Kraken's Better Dinos) to be able to be upgraded? Is there anything I can manually put in my gameusersetting.ini with it's blueprint path that would allow them to be upgraded/augmented?
van Grunz 14 Apr @ 1:13pm 
As far as I know this mod doesn't cause any issues. If you have mods that add weapons or other stuff, make sure these are loaded before this mod so it can recognize it. It works well with CyberTek mod, I've upgraded all the stuff successfully.
Isafreyr 14 Apr @ 12:11pm 
Will this cause any problems on newer maps such like Genesis Part 2? Will it cause any crashes or is it safe to use. I understand if it won't recognize any new items that were added later than it was updated but If we could still take advantage of its utilities until at least Genesis without causing any crashes then that would be great.

Can you pls update this mod PLS
Sylvoute 14 Apr @ 2:07am 
You're late finding this after years using this mod xD Still a good thing if it would be fixed.
However, in some rare cases, it doesn't happen. I think it's related to the field (not the build, then ?) where you placed the station. I even sometimes had the augment build remaining after removing the 2 other parts lmao.
Let's say the 3 cases are possible x)

Found a bug:
If you try to pick up a fully attached Upgrade Station one of your Addon-buildings will ALWAYS crash into pieces, no matter if you pick up Blueprint Maker first or Augment Station. Trying to pick up one Addon building will always crash the other.
van Grunz 13 Apr @ 11:01pm 
They will only become active if you select that one you wish to upgrade or convert into a blueprint. If the buttons stay the same then the desired item cannot be upgraded.
Lindwyrm-the-wolfdragon 13 Apr @ 3:36pm 
the "attempt upgrade" and "create blueprint" buttons are always blured out even tho i should have way more than enough to make the upgrade/blueprint

super

Hi I cant open the bluepront station on singleplayer, someone know what could it be? Is the blueprint station disabled by default or something?
Werwolf 27 Feb @ 7:02am 
The ascended one is broke no where to comment on the curseforge.
van Grunz 6 Feb @ 2:35am 
Naaa...! Palworld is "Early Access". Let's wait until it is "grown up".
Sylvoute 5 Feb @ 2:02pm 
I totally agree :P
Shrimpins 5 Feb @ 1:19pm 
Not really the place for this, but would love to see this added to Palworld. I can't play Ark anymore without it, and Palworld needs it desperately. :steamsalty:
van Grunz 15 Jan @ 11:19pm 
Guess you took the wrong mod. Watch out for mods that are made for Ascended. This one is for Evolved.
Pappi_Rabbi 15 Jan @ 3:51pm 
you turned off comments on it be the bp station on ark ascended deletes the item and gives no blue print
van Grunz 5 Jan @ 1:27am 
Yield normally depends on Melee Damage stat AFAIK which is independant from tier. Did you upgrade this stat via Reagent (!) in Augment (!) station?
Johny Knoxville 4 Jan @ 7:07pm 
Upgrading tools decreasing their yield :c
Senpai 8 Dec, 2023 @ 3:20pm 
I have the primal npc mod (I know it is discontinued) but it still works and I have already raided, but I want to dismantle door walls etc since they have that in their chests, what is the command to put it in gameusersettings?
van Grunz 7 Nov, 2023 @ 12:18am 
Even with a mining drill (ascendant) I will get about 3-6k of metal, so you should get 7,5-15k @25x.
van Grunz 7 Nov, 2023 @ 12:06am 
Try the to the top upgraded "CT Chainsaw" and loot a precious metal rock @10x harvest amount. You will get ~35k metal ore & ~15k stone as well as a big lag on your dedicated server...
wyjbez11 6 Nov, 2023 @ 11:34pm 
This game is.. WOW!
Normally, with a 25x harvest rate, i get around 100 metal per node with a metal pick. With this mod, if i harvest some metal, smelt it up and upgrade, i can get up to 2000 PER NODE. This mod is REALLY good for armour, as my flak armour now has 400-500% armour.
van Grunz 1 Nov, 2023 @ 8:25pm 
Normally not. Not existant engrams may be due to corrupt mod files. Try a reinstall.
N1ghthauq 1 Nov, 2023 @ 10:54am 
I can't unlock the engrams on my server. Is there anything I need to do configuration/load order wise to fix this?
van Grunz 31 Oct, 2023 @ 12:19pm 
No, the intention isn't irrelevant: it's that what developers want the way the people play. For me, their intention was never be mine, eg. being killed by a rapor or even alpha near your spawn place, making building bases or progressing very difficult. So mods and vanilla setting changes makes this game playable for me. But, honestly, I'm someone who has a completely different style of how to play games. So I like the way we can change the rules, taken by the word, including mods which makes many games much more interesting.
Valthejean 31 Oct, 2023 @ 12:12pm 
It being intended is irrelevant. It's what makes for a better gameplay. A PvP environment that is dictated by RNG is only fun for the people who win the dice roll. That goes back to my original statement, this mod makes the progression loop far better where resource investment yields tangible results.
van Grunz 31 Oct, 2023 @ 11:51am 
This (RNG) seems to be intended, see loot crates, alpha drops, crafting skills, just like every other game you hunt for the best stuff
Valthejean 30 Oct, 2023 @ 8:46pm 
I mean, at significant resource cost. I don't understand why it's better to make them completely RNG dependent.
van Grunz 30 Oct, 2023 @ 8:28pm 
A baseline feature to create the best available weapons & armour in the game? I don't think this is suitable for all players, especially on PvP. ;-)
Valthejean 30 Oct, 2023 @ 4:39pm 
Easily the best mod in Ark, to the point I'm surprised they didn't make it a baseline feature in ASA. Very much looking forward to when they port it over.
Plastic Puppet 30 Oct, 2023 @ 10:55am 
One of the most useful mods. Will you make it for ASA ?
van Grunz 30 Oct, 2023 @ 10:24am 
I guess that a spear doesn't have quality stats, so it can't be upgraded. Pikes & Bowes (which can be upgraded) have better stats in melee as well as ranged.
masternetra 29 Oct, 2023 @ 8:39pm 
Trying to upgrade a spear in the upgrade bench, I clicked the check button and have all the materials but the attempt to upgrade button is still grayed out and unclickable, am I missing something?
Kham 29 Oct, 2023 @ 8:23am 
He has already confirmed on Twitter that he plans on porting this to ASA.

Polkawillneverdie 29 Oct, 2023 @ 7:39am 
can we hope to see this on ASA? preferably ASAp . its one of the best mods out there
ItsKjergaard 29 Oct, 2023 @ 3:43am 
I too would like to see this in ASA
Ragnar 27 Oct, 2023 @ 7:52am 
Will this mod be remade for ASA?
SilentWulf 26 Oct, 2023 @ 7:35pm 
@kolivanOFF, make sure its not the Blueprint addon.....sadly, made that mistake more than once
The Dragon King 26 Oct, 2023 @ 7:14am 
i hope to see this on ASA as its a widely popular and used mod
Sylvoute 22 Oct, 2023 @ 4:40am 
what is "the workbench" ?
KolivanOFF 21 Oct, 2023 @ 4:52am 
I can't install the workbench. It goes into the texture of the foundation. And writes that there is no anchor point.
Sylvoute 19 Oct, 2023 @ 3:31am 
This is normal, tek armors are like this :(
ZucDuc 18 Oct, 2023 @ 5:25pm 
Its not letting me upgrade the durability of my tek armor
