BrIm is my acronym for Brite Imagination
And may I recommend
- "A Nice Bed with Benefits" - no cooldown, an inventory, player items are transferred to target bed; now with death recovery
- BrIM Torchiere - a simple standing torch that auto-lights those close by
INI settings FarSee consumables, FarSpec Wearables, and some structures get working distances from GameUserSettings.ini; the entries and default values are listed at the bottom of this page
Known Issues
- FarSee (Eggs) and Specs do not find Magmasaur eggs on my Gen1 server
- might be removed in the future
- HouseCalls is not auto-feeding CondensedMilk to babies, but you can add 100 to the baby inventory and hand feed them
- Famished should increase a wild (or tame) dino food consumption rate but not reduce food
Planned Changes
- Burning/Freezing/Shocking offence consumables will require a 'fuel' within the dino inventory (Embers, Frost, Sparx)
- Poisoning offence consumable to be added, requiring Noxious fuel
- Defence for poisoning
- Trinket versions of all offence and defence consumables
- effectiveness of Steel and Mithril tools may be reduced - use the Anky Augment to harvest Mithril
- resource cost of structures may increase, balanced off against what level player can craft AnkyAugment
- engram level of various arrows & tranq darts plus the AirPistol will be rebalanced, so AirPistol is higher
- AirPistol effects may be reduced - at the moment, virtually any dino is guaranteed to be knocked out
- may remove Refinery (Forge) as the smelter has same functionality
- FarSee (Eggs) to be per-egg-size
General Changes
- added FarSee (Eggs) + FarSpecs – locates nearby dino eggs; FarSpecs (Eggs) should show dino name and level; another attempt to find magmasaur eggs
- added Cargo Balloon, that can air-lift resources; if the mod can calculate flight time i may have it consume spark powder as a fuel, and crash if it runs out of fuel
- added Healing Drink Area of Effect (level 90 engram) – heals dinos within an area (six foundation radius) but immobilizes them; increases torpor and food consumption (will cascade to other dinos of tribe) – if dinos are healed twice in short succession they can go unconscious
- added Grenades – can be used underwater and while riding all dinos; does slight damage to wild dinos (i.e. aggro):
- Knockback: players, tamed or wild dinos within range are knocked back; the distance reduced by drag weight; ignored if drag weight exceeds 1,000
- Stun: dinos within range have a chance to be stunned for 10 seconds; the chance is reduced the higher the drag weight; ignored if drag weight exceeds 1,000
- Vacuum: dropped items, cache items, player death cache, and tribe structures (within range) are picked up into player or dino inventory; damaged structures are destroyed but resources kept – note: do not use this near your base
Structures
- Cargo Balloon, that can air-lift resources
- Refinery (Forge) - cooks metal ingots, steel ingots (metal plus charcoal), mithril ingots
- Smelter - works like the Refinery Forge (which may be removed later), but can also breakdown ("grind") crafted items into raw resources; some resources will be lost, others may damage the smelter; items with a ‘durability’ will be broken down over time, others will be consumed immediately; consumes fuel 3x faster
- Smelter pulls raw metal and mithril from nearby dinos; see INI setting Smelter.PullRadius (default 9,000, minimum 300, maximum 30,000)
- Smelter craft speed can be set by INI setting Smelter.CraftSpeed (default 5, minimum 1, maximum 100) – 25 yields one ingot per second; at this time the destruction of crafted items is fixed at 5 seconds
- Workstation (Smithy) - BrIm items can be crafted in core smithy as well
- Bonfire - triple-size of campfire, much more heat and range; consumes fuel much faster
- Fryer (Cooking pot), larger inventory, faster crafting, with improved versions of core consumables (Calien Soup, Enduro Stew, Focal Chili, Fria Curry, Lazarus Chowder, Sweet Veggie Sushi); will use external water source if available
- House Calls – when filled with BrIm Healing Drinks, injured dinos within range will be healed; note these cause dinos to get very hungry, Extraordinary the most – if there is insufficient food nearby a dino could starve
- House Cleaning- moves to its inventory dropped items, contents of dead characters, or (death) item caches; requires power source; holds 500 items, default range is 3000 radius (10 foundations); this is not a ‘recovery stone’ per se but if the player or dino is killed within its range the structure should pickup the inventory; might not work as expected if configured distance is above 24,000; note if INI settings exists it is likely the preview sphere will not reflect it properly; note has three "ignore" / "pickup" options - typically use “Ignore dropped items” as that can conflict with (for example) Ark Automated Vacuum
- House Keeping – repairs structures (below 90% health) within range, or items in its inventory, if there are sufficient resources within its inventory or the area; crafted in Workstation
- Primitive Battery – can power electronics such as House Cleaning or House Keeping for a short period; crafted in Workstation
Consumables
Can be crafted in Fryer or Industrial Cooker
- FarSee consumables cannot be used together; also available as Wearables (crafted in Workstation)
- Note: catalyst, macrosaur, minosaur, etc are not preserved by cryopods, and cannot be used concurrently; they run for 120 seconds plus 60 second cooldown; during this 60 seconds others may be consumed
- small/medium dinos (Carnotosaur or smaller) cannot be ridden but can be picked up; those larger can be ridden and not picked up
- only Terror Bird/Raptor and larger will consume; i.e. must have DragWeight >= 80
- added “Anky Augment” consumable & trinket, to harvest mithral ore, and carry it with reduced weight
- added “Theri Augment” consumable & trinket, to harvest raw bannock, and carry it with reduced weight; does not work with PaleoTheri (Hard Hitting Herbivores), but does if it is temporarily turned into vanilla dino

- Chilled, should protect the dino and rider from fire attacks and lava; available as a Trinket; should protect from Pyromane attacks; I hope it does not enforce any BTT ownership
- Courage, should protect the dino from Yutrannus fear roar; available as a Trinket; WIP
- Deep Pockets - prevents pests from stealing (unlikely to stop Ichthyornis)
- Extraordinary Healing drink (100% health over 20 seconds); buff appears like Argentavis rapid heal; stats, cost, etc may change
- Famished, should make dinos within 10 foundations hungry; consumed by player, who cannot be mounted; will not work on asleep dinos; WIP
- FarSee (ClearSight) - hides clouds, fog, grass; five minute duration, five minute cooldown
- FarSee (Death Cache) - find nearby player or dino death cache, within 3000 radius (10 foundations); use in the cases when you/your dino kills a wild dino but does not harvest the remains, and you cannot find the death cache in the grass; note that if within range of a HouseKeeping item, that will pick up the cache - a note should be added to the team log
- FarSee (Eggs) – shows an icon over nearby dino eggs; future: a version per egg size, and/or change to craft requirement
- FarSee (Explorer Chests) - show an icon over Explorer Chests, only if it is about six foundations or further away; the icon is larger the further away it is; 5 minute duration, 5 minute cooldown
- FarSee (Lifesigns) - shows a health icon above injured enemies (below 50% health)); icon is scaled by distance); 60 sec duration, 60 sec cooldown; work in progress - icon might be very small
- FarSee (Resources) - track a resource item in your inventory, a icon will hover on resource sources, only if it is about six foundations or further away; the icon is larger the further away it is; 5 minute duration, no cooldown; might not track custom resources such as Mithral Ore or Bannok; INI settings for minimum and maximum distance and maximum icons to show; close resources show one icon
- FarSee (Structure) - track a structure in your inventory (not an engram), a blinking icon hover over all structures; 5 minutes duration, no cooldown
- FarSee (Supply Crates) - shows an icon atop any supply create within range; work in progress

- Sticky Saddle - prevents rider from being dismounted; lasts 10 minutes
- Stoneskin - reduces incoming damage by 20% unless it is from an Ankylosaurus or Doedicurus, where you take 50% extra damage ; should include Aberrant variants; other dinos will be added to this list such as Golems; in future it may require/consume a resource (stone, mithril, obsidian, etc) from dino inventory
- Viscous, which should protect the player’s armour from taking damage from the Arthropleura spit attack
- Warmed, should protect the dino and rider from freezing attacks; available as a Trinket; should protect from Cryolophosaurus and Veilwyn attacks; I hope it does not enforce any LC ownership
Bannok
- player craft inventory has a note explaining some of this
- raw Bannok poisons like raw meat does
- raw Bannok becomes Cooked Bannok in a Cooking Fire, Fireplace, Grill, and Bonfire; it is akin to Cooked Meat
- in BrIm Bonfire, raw plus any berry becomes PrimeCooked; it is akin to Cooked Prime Meat
- in Preserving Bin, cooked plsu sparkpowder becomes Biscuit in ; this is akin to Jerky
- in Preserving Bin, PrimeCooked plus sparkpowder becomes Biscotti; this is akin to PrimeJerky
- in BrIm Fryer, raw plus water plus honey becomes Milk; can be consumed, might tame Cats, might protect from Wyvern fire attack
- in Dehydrator, Bannok Milk plus squid oil becomes Condensed Milk; can be used to grow a baby up faster and imprint; can feed manually, House Calls will automate
- Raw, Cooked, PrimeCooked, and milk can spoil; this is akin to Spoiled Meat
Weapons / Ammo
- Stone Sickle to harvest raw Bannok; does not harvest under water
- Steel hatchet, Mithril pick, and hatchet
- hunger arrows and darts (does no torpor) - three tiers; arrows only work with bows, superior arrows - bows and crossbows
- enhanced tranq arrows and darts (also reduces food) - three tiers; arrows only work with bows
- healing darts - 25% across 20 seconds; values may change
- Air Pistol/Dart/Cylinder - fires underwater, short range, massive torpor over 1 min; cylinder is attachment, powers it, degrades over time; when an Air Cylinder is used up it is destroyed (removed form weapon and inventory)
- Grenades – can be used underwater and while riding all dinos; does slight damage to wild dinos (i.e. aggro):
- Knockback: players, tamed or wild dinos within range are knocked back; the distance reduced by drag weight; ignored if drag weight exceeds 1,000
- Stun: dinos within range have a chance to be stunned for 10 seconds; the chance is reduced the higher the drag weight; ignored if drag weight exceeds 1,000
- Vacuum: dropped items, cache items, player death cache, and tribe structures (within range) are picked up into player or dino inventory; damaged structures are destroyed but resources kept – note: do not use this near your base
Resources
- Steel ingots, to make steel pick, hatchet, and pike; about twice damage of core
- Mithril ore and ingots (harvested with BrIm Pick), to make pick, hatchet, and pike; about four times damage of core
- Bannok (vegetarian food):
- raw is harvested with Stone Sickle
- raw is cooked in campfire, fireplace, bonfire, industrial grill; cooks faster than meat
- raw plus honey is cooked in cooking pot or industrial cooker, to make prime Bannok
- when placed in a Preserving Bin, Bannok plus Azulberries crafts ‘Biscuits’ i.e. Jerky, and Prime Bannok plus Azulberries crafts Biscotti i.e. prime jerky
- Note that crafting of Prime Bannok, Biscotti, and Biscuit may change
