World Builder Content

How to use :

The World Builder contains one weapon as the primary tool for everything in the mod.

Once this weapon is equipped, you will see two windows: one in the top-left corner showing the current Mode, and one in the top-right corner displaying Logs. The current Mode window shows the active mode you have selected, while the Logs window lists the recent actions you have performed.

By holding the Use button ("Face Button Top" on consoles or "E" on PC), you will open the Modes selection menu, allowing you to choose a different Mode.

Modes :

Scan

Look at any object in the world to scan it. Once scanned, the object will be saved temporarily and can be accessed in Select Mode for further actions.

Select

View all objects you have scanned using Scan Mode. From here, you can choose which objects to save permanently in your library for future use.

Edit

Modify objects selected from Select Mode or directly edit items in your library. Each library category is stored in a SaveGame file, which you can share with friends.

Placement

Select objects from your library and place them in the world. You can position, rotate, and arrange them as needed to create your environment.

Remove

Delete objects from the world, including those placed using Placement Mode. You can also undo certain removals. This mode also includes tools for removing grass and foliage. (Be cautious, removing essential objects may create unintended holes in the environment, potentially causing players to fall and lose progress.)

Combine

Merges all World Builder placed objects into a single combined object and saves it to your library. This makes complex builds easier to reuse while improving performance and optimizing your workflow.

Volumes

Allows you to place multiple types of volumes in your world to enhance gameplay. Includes Gravity Volumes, Safe Zones, Structure Prevention Zone Volumes (used to increase cave build areas), Damage Volumes, and more.

Logs

View a list of recorded actions, useful for troubleshooting or tracking changes. You can also sort and delete logs as needed.

Configuration

Adjust advanced mod settings, such as placement limits to prevent crashes or performance drops. You can also clean up SaveGame files to free up space.

SaveGames :

This mod uses SaveGames to store his data under "SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\SaveGames\WorldBuilder".

Here you have all your saved library as "ClientSavedObjects_(depending on the icon category)" if you wanna share it to your friends. You have your own saved ClientSavedLogs and ClientConfiguration for your settings. "ClientSavedMeshes" contain ALL the meshes you have scanned from the world (You can easy clean this one if you think you have too many scanned objects)

Under the folder "World" you have both "PlacedMeshesData" and "RemovedMeshesData" One contain the placed objects in the world. And the other the removed objects from the world.
