I can't agree more. Just integrate the whole thing into the main game. Give an option server side to hide modern engrams. Granted the drops were brought up by another post and something i had gotten however again that's a pretty easy fix. If you hide modern engrams you change the drops. We've been playing with out drops for so long. Prim+ could use the archeology event base as their own drops. So the game would have drop options as well. With modern- orbital Without- dirt piles With one option you could toggle prim+ on or off with out sacrificing the way anyone currently plays. I also think it needs to be pointed out that everything on prim+ is so well done and thought out the integration would be nearly seamless. Seeds, crops, ores, building materials, cosmetic options, recipes, weapons. In so much more intricate. Cake, pizza and cookies. Not to mention most of the prim+ options just look nicer and flow better.

I would also like to add that adding it into the main game would be more beneficial as a whole to the community. If you change it to a mod, that means console players would no longer get to play it. You would lose a huge player base. As you did with vanilla servers, you could host prim+ servers that would pander to the players that don't want access to the electricity and tek tiers. However, you would enhance the largest player base you have by adding it all into the main game. It has to be maintained, work with the rest of the game, and patches won't keep breaking it. This is the best option. Add the collectables, the ore, coal, crops etc. As well as the crafting benches and recipes. You'll add more stuff to do in the game and honestly having a cosmetic option to some things is something this game is missing. (We would pay extra for cosmetic options) The kibble is fantastic but if you add the crops to the main game is adds yet another option to taming and cooking (i love the baking and farming lol) if we're being honest lumber and brick look fantastic and combining them with wood and stone makes the aesthetic building much more fun and the glass just looks amazing. Sorry for the long run on post but ive talked to my server and this is the combined feedback. There is no drawback to adding prim+ in full into the main game. I know it would require a great deal of coding and testing but it would be worth it and it's something that a great deal of your players have been asking for. More options, decorations and diversity.

I literally just want dung beetles to pick up poop, oviraptors to pick up eggs and the pheonix to learn how to stand. These are small changes but honestly would impact a huge amount of game play. Especially for crafters and breeders. And the pheonix looks dumb as hell flying there like an idiot.

I would like to start off by saying I haven't been playing prim+ for very long, however, it is by far my favorite part of ark. I understand that adding it to the main game would change a huge aspect of it. Everyone on my server (after a lot of persuading) tried it and loved it. The total immersion and complex crafting, not to mention the actual design of the craftables (crafting tables, ceiling lanterns, the storage containers like the mining box and wood shed) all bring a fantastic feel to the game. It feels like your building a home vs a defensive base used to produce weapons and a dino factory. The different buildings materials make everything immersive, personal, and look great. The different harvestables (different meats and crops) make hunting and cooking much more fun. Given the chance we would use all of these over tek. That's not saying we don't love our tek and miss it sometimes. What im trying to say is i think it should be integrated into the main game and would in no way take away from, but would add to the over all enjoyment.

We did not get summer bash on prim+ I'm not sure if this was be design or not

I just moved my server to prim plus from standard on xbox hosted through nitrado on The Center. Can confirm after 3 days of play the canteen absolutely doesn't work, can't even pull it from the ob. (I had to spawn them in so we could leave our safe beach) We have had no supply drops or cave drops. (I wasn't even upset about the air drops but the cave drops missing makes progression almost impossible with a small tribe) Door frame heights are very off, especially when using brick floors and lumber doors you can't walk through. Dino consumption rates are off when taming as far as i can tell. Tested today on a pteranodon, kibble, spare ribs, poultry all gave almost nothing compared to prime meat. When attempting to pull extinction saddles (gacha) from the OB, you get a reloading inventory screen than an error message. Not sure if intended or not but there are no tek dinos spawning. The well isn't collecting water.
