The Ark 2 trailer all those years ago teased us with the idea of a survivor carrying eggs in a pouch. Tired of slow trips around my base loaded down with eggs I've taken inspiration from this and now present the Egg Basket.
This mod adds 1 simple item of equipment (making use the new "accessory" slots same as the glide suit) an egg basket. Which when equipped reduces the weight of eggs in the player's inventory and dsiplays one of the eggs they are holding at their hip.
Obtaining:
Egg baskets do not have a standard engram in the engram list. They instead need to be found.
Egg baskets can be found with different quality rating in the following places:
- White supply crates
- Green supply crates
- Purple supply crates
- Alpha Raptors
- Alpha Rex
- Alpha Mosa
They should appear on all maps, if you aren't finding any please double check and then let me know (I tried to get it so you should find at least 1 per 10 crates opened). Alphas aren't guranteed to drop them but when they do usually drop several. The exact loot drop science is a little finiky for me so feedback is apreciated.
Features:
- Egg Carrying capacity: Depending on the quality of the egg basket worn, eggs' weight is reduced in the player's inventory.
Ini Settings:
These settings can be used to control how much weight reduction each quality of basket gives (1.0 would make eggs normal weight 0.0 would make eggs weightless). If you want to keep egg baskets out of **_any_** loot set the first option to disabled.
[EggBasket] AddToDrops=True EggWeightPrimitive=0.85 EggWeightRamshackle=0.7 EggWeightApprentice=0.6 EggWeightJourneyman=0.5 EggWeightMastercraft=0.3 EggWeightAscendant=0.2
Your config might generate some inital numbers which look odd, its not a problem
Known Issues
These are issues I'm aware of and will be looking to attempt to fix in the future but aren't things I'm considering breaking at the moment.
- Astral Dinos not giving egg baskets
Bug Reports:
As usual I've done lots of testing to try and iron out any issues/bugs I've encountered during development but if you notice something that seems a little odd please leave a comment so I can look into it.
