If it isn't supported, then fucking delete it.

Does this an upgraded version of the orignal?

Dose this worrk with Valhalla? having problem getting drops too spawn
Martinfort 12 Feb, 2016 @ 7:16pm 
Is it possible to force beacons to not drop things on a server manually? trying to look into a custom primitive server and beacons present a problem since they can drop high tier items.

what is the diffrense between lite and regular?
BreakUrSelf 3 Feb, 2016 @ 10:12am 
While this mod is good, but we are thinking of removing it, since it Blocks deep-sea loot for us.
Elric Kvothe 1 Feb, 2016 @ 8:25pm 
I'm going to assume that the Riot armor set will not have any BP's while using this mod, correct? It doesn't look like it's been updated in months. For that matter, is this mod defunct (no longer updated)?
MyssBehaven 30 Jan, 2016 @ 6:34pm 
update?
Sinate 29 Jan, 2016 @ 8:18am 
Awesome mod!, unfortunately with the most recent game update, this mod now crashes my server constantly :( Hopefully a fix is coming soon!
Snake[cp] 28 Jan, 2016 @ 2:23pm 
Great mod, 5 stars does exactly what it says. The ammo amounts are reasonable and gives me an exuse to play with the shotgun, etc! Keep up the great work. The only thing keeping this from being even better is if there was a version to relocate the bad beacons.
Jereh 28 Jan, 2016 @ 1:51pm 
does anyone know if you can get upgraded longnech rifles from this pack because since i put this mod on i havnt seen a longneck rifle in the drops at all just curios if you can actually get them or if they have accidently been taken out
LuckyStuff 27 Jan, 2016 @ 8:18am 
is compatible with valhalla's map?
Always Neutral 23 Jan, 2016 @ 1:46am 
DISREGARD MY LAST COMMENT. there indeed is
Always Neutral 23 Jan, 2016 @ 12:00am 
does this still have op items? i want those still
FroZt 17 Jan, 2016 @ 6:39pm 
The Lite is for the people who just wants the missing items & removes the duplicates. Normal one have more immersive changes to the loot.
Togwerk 11 Jan, 2016 @ 12:17pm 
Is this supported on different maps?
SaltPossibly 10 Jan, 2016 @ 9:42pm 
can anyone confirm if the Ghillie pieces drop from beacons in this mod or not yet?
mephistohate 9 Jan, 2016 @ 4:30pm 
if you are running linux, just use ark-server-tools 1.4, it installs the mod directly from the modID instead of copy files manually, even updates them and all, so much easier being able to set a custom update period
Fat Bob the Slob 4 Jan, 2016 @ 12:31pm 
I'm confused....what's the difference between LITE and NORMAL?
Dr_Sandman 2 Jan, 2016 @ 3:56am 
Was able to get it to work after a couple of reinstalls, what did the trick was to zip the files before transferring as opposed to just copying, I suspect this has to do with linux (or rather SELinux included in many distros) tagging files copied from a windows share as "non-linux-native" and this somehow interfering with ark server opening the files. So if anyone else encounters this problem (mod loading, but not working), try copying the files to your (linux) server in a zip file and extracting it, rather than just copying the directory. Great mod, crate hunting is suddently fun again!
Dr_Sandman 1 Jan, 2016 @ 5:38am 
Oh, yeah... and I have the most recent version (1.5) of the mod running patch 230.0
Dr_Sandman 1 Jan, 2016 @ 5:37am 
Does not appear to work anymore... Have copied the files to the server and tried loading it both using the ini-file and using commandline, with both Better Beacons Lite is listed on the ESC-screen, but there is no change to any of the beacons. Spawned in 20 or so blue beacons, still no updated loot (but of course a ton of compasses, med crop plots and water jars...)
Bunger With Bungus 31 Dec, 2015 @ 6:30pm 
this mod has caused my game to freeze on the menus I had to disable it to even play. i do not know what else could have caused this but you may need to find a fix for it
HappyMonkey 31 Dec, 2015 @ 10:29am 
Any reason why this wouldn't show up in my local mods folder? I search for the mod ID 514986458 after downloading, but it's not there..
Goober 17 Dec, 2015 @ 6:46am 
The drops are inside rocks and the ground??? why are they going through the world?
hech05 13 Dec, 2015 @ 2:59am 
plz make it useable with the original
TheFounder 6 Dec, 2015 @ 10:32pm 
does this mod spawn in blueprints for higher tier items like weapons and armor and saddles?
Ak40Heaven 5 Dec, 2015 @ 12:49pm 
You need to add an updated smithy to this mod so one can use all the blueprints they get. A friend got a epic quetzal platform saddle blueprint and couldn't fit all the requirements in a smithy. Rendering the blueprint useless sadly enough.
Rogerthat42 21 Nov, 2015 @ 7:08am 
Hello i have this mod on but in a red drop a stone window frame?xd
muddball 15 Nov, 2015 @ 12:44pm 
That answers my question, thanks pok3. I've never tried to mod before, lets give it a whirl
Ertosi 14 Nov, 2015 @ 3:16pm 
I'm afraid this mod gave a fatal error ctd when it was removed. Peeps on my server were requesting it so I tested it alone (no other mods) in local play. It worked great until I tested it for clean removal by saving, exiting, removing the mod, then reloading the game... and crash to desktop while game was loading. One of the error code lines that caught my eye mentioned beacons so I'm guessing it was looking for some file that was added for the beacons that had spawned while the mod had been active. I don't see any other comments of others having a similar issue so maybe it was something on my end. Just glad I tested it locally before trying it on our server.
Jack 14 Nov, 2015 @ 1:16pm 
Does this work with the current version of ARK? I don't think it is working for my server as I am getting duplicate blueprints in some drops.
P0k3r  [author] 10 Nov, 2015 @ 5:58pm 
muddball - You mean like ascendant in red and so on? That would require making a whole new mod. I made a little guide on how to make a supply drop mod over on the unreal engine forums https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?89182-HOW-TO-Supply-crate-contents-modification

Ranae 6 Nov, 2015 @ 9:23pm 
Can we get an update for recent items?
muddball 4 Nov, 2015 @ 3:35pm 
I'm curious, could you make a version that we could edit ourselves? I've long wanted the beacon colors to represent what's inside of them, not what level they can be opened..
P0k3r  [author] 28 Oct, 2015 @ 6:11pm 
Uploaded a new version with a few minor updates

Dark - You're welcome

Dan-Dan the Magic Man & ntengineer - Should be fixed with 1.4

ジェネシスAria❀ Strange, this mod does not edit the cave drops in any way (yet) so don't know what to tell ya on that. Maybe it's because the cave drops have always been horrible? Cloth hat for example. There have been no cave loot modifications with this mod.
ƔενεσισAria🌸 26 Oct, 2015 @ 8:54pm 
Our server removed this a while back because it was making cave drops worse...
We loved the beacon drops, but the hit to caves made it not worth.
Also, what's with all the radios? lol.
ntengineer 25 Oct, 2015 @ 4:52pm 
I agree with Dan-Dan. I love this mod! Thank you so much. But for some reason Furs are now everywhere. They need to be decreased.
dandanthemagicman 25 Oct, 2015 @ 4:11pm 
Needs more diverse drops. Opened around 10 blue drops, all containing fur gear/fur blueprints. Other than that I love not getting a water jar blueprint or compass blueprint :D
Dark 25 Oct, 2015 @ 7:57am 
@p0k3rofsm0t thank you so much for making beacons worth chasing again without bein too op :)
P0k3r  [author] 25 Oct, 2015 @ 7:50am 
I just uploaded the latest version with the new items from Ark version 220

[M4D] Skeet & DragunovV - I was planning on making a little guide on how to modify the crates using the devkit. Maybe later today
Bishopsuey 21 Oct, 2015 @ 7:56am 
Great mod, but we've got the problem on small servers that beacons drop way too often, it's getting somehow imbalanced. Any idea how to change drop rate of beacons? Guess i read that somewhere but i can't find it...
