Nesster Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hi, Basically I just want to have tougher glass to make good looking bases on my private dedicated server (and not have an argy break this nice stuff). I saw there is metalGlass mod, but it changes core files, and it's impossible to remove after it's been installed (in case problems would happen with it). There's S+, but I really don't want all the stuff that comes with it. It seems you can customize some features but there seems to be no good source of information on how to do this clearly. So, my question is really: is there a parameter in the settings somewhere, where I could just bump the greenhouse structures HP ONLY, I don't want to change all structures hp.

powerstuck Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Simple answer is NO. If mods exists its because its much easier to do a mod than to tweak files that will get replaced next update anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty sure there was no way but I thought I might ask, just in case I missed something. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHighlander Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 If it helps (and it's not an answer to your problem) but I run both the GlassMetal mod and S+ on all five of my private servers covering all the official maps (two center servers) with no issues whatsoever with them.

teamravegreen Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Sorry, like @Antitheft2 this won't be a direct answer to your question, but I also wanted to throw my vote in for S+. I can't imagine playing/building without it. If you aren't aware there is a glass 'tier' with S+ that I believe has the strength of metal. I also want to say that S+ greenhouse is stronger than normal but looks the same (this might be false info, I would double check it). Good luck!

And find a way to remove the stuff I don't want. Speaking of which, if you guys have suggestions on what to remove from S+ (to keep the game as close as vanilla as possible), but add metal glass, that could help me and probably others that want similar setups.

Gunzor Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Remove the demo gun it has caused me so much pain. You aim at a window it hits a support beam and drops 1/2 your base is not received uncommon. Other than that its pickup and replace items is the best part of it very few S+ items are OP just all QoL improvements you will hate using normal after S+ because you know the devs could improve standard if they wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabnlab Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 While you can customize what s+ adds, you simply dont have to use any of the other s+ stuff either, it doesn't replace vanilla engrams, just adds s+ ones. I couldn't imagine playing without s+. Just being able to pick stuff back up is such a huge QOL improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalisaFox Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Perhaps they could add a Tek Variant to the greenhouse wall, that allows tinting and change in design kinda like S+, and being tek would have it make sense, then it could be of metal durability, be alittle harder to make but give us that durable greenhouse we always wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlaciques Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I still had the hope they would implement some more types of structtures. I like to build with the Greenhouse stuff but its so weak and the timers are so short would love to get some normal glass structures too. I mean we can build tek sttuff butt were still not able to build some stronger glass stuff than the weak greenhouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably spend 80% of my time in Ark building and the demo gun is amazing. I've had to train myself to be VERY careful with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I made a suggestion in the game suggestion forum for this a few months ago requesting a tek glass tier, it got some praises as good idea and recommened but i got no response by mods or devs :(.

nStuffleupagus Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Glass is glass, sure it should break easily (ignoring the crystal strength argument), but metal is metal. Greenhouses should have two durability's, glass breaks easily, leaving your affect at zero when enough breaks; the metal should be as tough as metal and still keep out dinos that cant crawl through it. Period. What I don't like is how it auto decays as fast as thatch though. That's BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger1 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 You might as well follow the suggestions above about using S+ as much of it is likely to be incorporated into the vanilla game eventually anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the fence with sturdier glass - I really could use it (don't know how many times I've had to rebuild my glass wall because a passing-by-Rex looked at it :'( ), but at the same time, it's... glass! But a Tek version would really work in my mind! Tek is Sci Fi anyways, so why not indestructible glass? 7 hours ago, nStuffleupagus said: Greenhouses should have two durability's, glass breaks easily, leaving your affect at zero when enough breaks; the metal should be as tough as metal and still keep out dinos that cant crawl through it.
