Just keep this mod, the new one is not working
Bantandulous  [author] 19 Feb, 2017 @ 2:52pm 
I've created a new mod that replaces this old one:
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=700708030

I wish I could have updated the old one but it wasn't possible. The new one uses the new ADK and a different approach to implementation.

Thank you to everyone who enjoyed Slow Stuff Decay. Sorry it took so long to update this. I've not had much time for ARK.

For the people not having luck getting this mod working: make sure it is the first mod on the load order. Since it replaces the player body it needs to be first/very early.

To the author: if you are still receving comments about this, can you either release the source or update the mod to the latest ADK? The replaced bodies don't contain the data for hairstyles, so (at least on a female character) it is impossible to cut one's own hair. Thanks.

I'm also getting the issue with it not working at all. I ran up to my bag to check the timer to see if it even changed that but not even that was adjusted. I'm playing a nondedicated server that I run for my friends.

Deosn't work!
mausportop 3 Feb, 2017 @ 10:49am 
it doesnt work.
Ckalp 3 Dec, 2016 @ 12:58pm 
dommage il ne fonctionne plus

Gave a quick test (island, single player), the mod sadly does not do anything (no smoke).
What a pity, it is really a good idea - does anyone know something similar?
lammaer 14 Nov, 2016 @ 7:57am 
Do anyone have positive experience with this mod?
The idea is extremely good, I'm often frustrated after death that I have hard time to find my body/bag in the forest... but the comments below looks discouraging.

@Author:
"Corpse and item decay rates can now be adjusted in the game settings ini file."

Do you mean that the official GlobalCorpseDecompositionTimeMultiplier and GlobalItemDecompositionTimeMultiplier options has to be used, so your mod has no other setting/override on this?

Is strange, but my character was bugger with this mod, it deformed when I (owner the server) use the shield and see the character on 3re person, and can't use the sword!, I don't now why, it's very strange, I removed it for that

Like the mod except for "Changes miscellaneous dropped items to a 30 minute decay. (Don't litter excessively or it could pile up)"
windling 17 Aug, 2016 @ 10:58am 
OH one more thing if you remove the mode your dead and all your stuff is gone =( maybe a littel note would be great because this kind of sucks
windling 17 Aug, 2016 @ 10:44am 
oh and it not working (map=theisland own server)
windling 17 Aug, 2016 @ 10:43am 
if i use this mod my char is standing while riding ?

There's some compatibility issues with new fishing mechanic and mod (at least if you already have mod installed). Female characters can't fish. Disabling mod and reenabling it made it work for me but wiped my inventory. So stash your loot in storge before "fixing".

this no work for my server at center map.

Does this mod work for valhalla?
Jardyexe 15 Jun, 2016 @ 1:42am 
Does it work for the center?
The Overmind 13 Jun, 2016 @ 9:06pm 
Can't get it to work
Volg 7 Jun, 2016 @ 11:04pm 
This is working 100% for us.
Tofu Dragon 5 Jun, 2016 @ 2:22pm 
I'm getting smoke on the Bushmen (NPC mod) but no on my own corpse. Looks like I'm not alone. That actually makes me feel better.
Deme 22 May, 2016 @ 9:39am 
sadly this isnt working the times are still the same and there is no smoke i guess the auther gave up on this mod
NYCBeast 29 Apr, 2016 @ 1:59pm 
Not working for me either. Did i miss something?
Askander 23 Apr, 2016 @ 11:45am 
I added this to my dedicated server and it downloads the files on the client but we're not seeing the smoke from the coprses. Is there a way to make sure it's loaded and running?
matr-ant 22 Apr, 2016 @ 5:22am 
Не работает, если не первые в списке модов!
Evmadman 21 Mar, 2016 @ 4:07pm 
This is something i would like to run on my server for the smoke signal more so than the decay which i have already adjusted. Does it still work on dedicated servers?
FloDuMalawi 12 Mar, 2016 @ 5:40am 
not working for me...
$ιχχχø ₪ αl†αιƦ 27 Feb, 2016 @ 12:24pm 
does it working right now?
Bantandulous  [author] 23 Feb, 2016 @ 4:28pm 
@TheDarKnight_87 Those patch notes would be really old now.

The settings are in the Game.ini file. The two for decay timers are:
GlobalCorpseDecompositionTimeMultiplier
GlobalItemDecompositionTimeMultiplier

This page linked below covers the GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini files and how to tweak them. There's a lot of good stuff there.

TheDarKnight_87 22 Feb, 2016 @ 2:56pm 
@bantandulous what do we add to the config file to alter Corpse and item decay rates? it says to check the patch notes however i cant seem to find any patch notes that mention how to do this.
Menace 21 Feb, 2016 @ 7:06pm 
daily not dailing
Menace 21 Feb, 2016 @ 7:05pm 
it seems the devs are dailing doing little updates 20-50 mb updates to kick out other mods...it seems
Bantandulous  [author] 21 Nov, 2015 @ 8:43am 
Re-cooked with ADK 222.7. Numerous changes to the game since I originally put this together. So, no guarantees at this point. I hope to have some more time for ARK in the near future. In the meantime, let me know if this works.
Thanks
Pfann 18 Nov, 2015 @ 8:37am 
Update pls dont work for now :(
Weh 13 Nov, 2015 @ 4:05am 
Hey! There's currently a conflict with the ark automated mod, I was hoping this was something you could possibly fix. It's preventing the automated mod from picking up stuff on the ground.
ElectroSkellington 10 Nov, 2015 @ 9:28pm 
When you update would it be possible to get you to reparent the dropped item templates to the base files your replacing this would allow compatiblity with other mods that call for the base dropped item. example DroppedItemGenericLowQuality_SlowStuffDecay parent as DroppedItemGenericLowQuality for each.
legislatrice 8 Nov, 2015 @ 8:26am 
Not working at all. No smoke, and no slowed decay
herman925 5 Nov, 2015 @ 9:03pm 
Doesn't seem to work anymore....
herman925 5 Nov, 2015 @ 9:03pm 
Will you update it?
Arik De Frasia 5 Nov, 2015 @ 1:52pm 
I knew it would force a respawn, but it still didnt extend the decay time of any items.
AlphaGodith 2 Nov, 2015 @ 5:25pm 
moving this mod around in the load order seems to delete the player, forcing you to respawn without a corpse to get your stuff back from. I would have liked a warning there.
AlphaGodith 29 Oct, 2015 @ 8:39am 
the smoke signals can be really hard to see in some situations. if it was a beacon instead, or some sort of thing that went way all the way past the tree line, i would have no complaints.
lastspartacus 22 Oct, 2015 @ 5:08pm 
This is a highly desirable mod for me. Making a server with no flier saddles and this will really help in finding loot. When there is an option to adjust the decay times down to say, an hour, please let us know! (as it is a pvp server where we hope to get a high-ish pop.) Also maybe a way to turn down the smoke a bit.
AlphaGodith 18 Oct, 2015 @ 4:09pm 
the smoke signal can't be seen from far enough, at least for me with all the settings on low. i swear i should be right on top of it but i can't find it.
Private AJ "Skippy" Hops 12 Oct, 2015 @ 1:44am 
Hi there, i would like to be able to post your mod in my Mod list on a website, how do you wish me to name you? Please Twitter me @XGISKIPPY to confirm. If you wish to have details. you can check the page here https://rptavern.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=79
FredTA 3 Oct, 2015 @ 1:07pm 
Does the smoke signal work when the loot bag is under water?
Evolvei 2 Oct, 2015 @ 7:20pm 
Any way to make this without needing top spot? Too many good mods including this needing top spot.
Drinkcup 26 Sep, 2015 @ 10:27pm 
why does it change miscellaneous drop timers :/
would be best just doing one thing - the player stash decay. And what a welcome mod, been needing this for the LONGerst time in singleplayer.
