Over a month ago you mentioned you were looking into including s+ ( a mod that is majorly needed on consoles and adds many Quality of life features in addition to adding and improving on the core building functionality of ark) but since then radio silence on this, what is the progress? Giving that it has over a million subscribers (and most questions i ask i am usually directed towards the s+ mod as the fix/solution/answer) we can be sure it is rather stable. So how much longer do we poor console owners have to suffer?

Now we are over a month away from this can we ask what the word is on this? the mod is 100% needed on consoles at the minute and often when i ask questions i am, frustratingly, pointed at s+. How do i build in underwater base units, nothing snaps? Use the s+ mod it provides smaller vacuum cubes with snap points. Anyway to hide water and electric pipes? Use the s+ mod it allows for intergrated and correct size pipes and cables. Anyway to turn down the noise generators make? Use the s+ mod it provides silent generators. How do i rotate side pieces to make inverted slopes and triangle pieces for hexegon domes? Use the s+ mod as it has additional building parts. Anyway to make normal doors open and close automatically like the tek doors? Use the s+ mod it has that feature and double doors. Anyway to transfer metal directly from my dino to my forge, its rather time consuming to transfer it bit by bit? use the s+ mod, it allows you to pull resources from nearby containers including dinos The only question of late i have asked on twitter/reddit/forums/discord that has not been answered with "use s+" was asking if i could change the stack size max amounts (highrate server) and i was told about 4 different mods to do that with.... At times i have really felt like screaming "I'm on the ps4 we dont get f'n mods" but the times i have said i cant install s+ as i am on console is always met with "get the pc version" i have the pc version, but all my real life friends have consoles only so thats what i am stuck with (and no i am not ditching mates i have known for 3 decades) S+ seems like an amazing and ESSENTIAL mod, these new dino's are cool but building is a major part of ark and it has so many issues it really needs some love, this digest hints at s+ being considered but i am not sure what is exactly needed to be considered, it has over a million subscribers on steam it clearly works (and is much loved) please integrate it, post haste, unlike our pc only gaming brothers we can not choose to install it our selfs. The other thing is how do we unlock the sword/shield/light?

Can we please get an update on this? I am assuming the official ps4 servers are hosted on pc's so surely the software already exists, you just need to release it?

That explains why I can't find it, hope they fix that soon, starting to feel like they really do not care about their console customers.

how do you unlock the doors etc? i do not see any engrams in the tech section (though the server i am playing is still running scorched earth maybe that is the limit (sadly limited in choice of servers on the ps4)) Also when will we be able to host servers on our pc's for the ps4 version? i am sure it was meant to be last month?
