• The ORP Mod has been removed and we have initiated the standard Ark ORP for the time being. The ORP mod has been having some issues and under the advisement of the Mod admin we have removed it for the time being. This could have been what was lagging the server so we will test it and we DO PLAN on adding it back once the kinks are worked out and the mod admin has fixed all the issues.
  
  
• We are phasing out the Ammo Pool mod for the most current version. The mod creator has made a new mod instead of updating the old one because it was crashing servers and causing issues. We will be running BOTH MODS for the next week. PLEASE made the new Ammo Pool and transfer your bullets as well as remove the old Ammo Pools you have in your base. On 6/4 we will be deleting this mod and ALL AMMO that is in any old Ammo Pools will be DELETED. We will not be giving anyone any refunds on lost ammo.
  
  
• We have added a mod called Boosted Fabricator+ [2.0] which is a huge quality of life mod. Some notable things are;
  
  • Old Sized Vaults (The Big Ones for vault dropping)
    
  • Auto Craft Gunpowder/Bullets/Explosives/Etc. (Just add the resources needed)
    
  • Tranq Guns. (These guns are NOT OP and in most cases a good BP with shock darts is better. This is more to help newer players)
    
  • Smaller crafting benches to save some room.

If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to post them in discord.

I have decided to add the Tek Helper. I have set the mod up to be balanced on the server. Here are the settings.

• Electronics 50
  
• Obsidian 200
  
• Metal Ingot 200
  
• Cementing Paste 200
  
• Crystal 200
  
• Spark Powder 200

The crafting cost COULD change either way. I have done some testing on the test server and feel this is a good place to start. I have went back and forth on adding this or not. We had the tek bench pre wipe but that mod took out the mechanic of boss fights completely but did make it easier to get tek. With this it mod makes players do the boss fights at least once and also allow for easier access to element.

We all play on private servers for different reasons, one of the top reasons is that people have life's and don't have all the time to sink into the game so with boosted rates and everything else in the game it only makes sense to boost the tek also. Lets also keep in mind that Tek is not end all be all.

Over the weekend I have done a lot of experimenting with the tek on the test server, I feel that the S+ force field is Over Powered, and it dose not follow the same rules as the Vanilla force field so I MAY remove the engram for that. Kinda would like to hear for the players. Feel free to reach out to me on Discord about it.
