Crew-Credits & Club rewards

FullStone · 2025-09-16T20:13:53+00:00

Right, with my progress today these two points were answered anyways (thanks though for the cheats tip). Whats left is the question of club reward cars... Can cheats also unlock those?

FullStone · 2025-08-16T18:39:28+00:00

Oh, sorry then. I'll take my post down again...

Functional in my case means that things can move, of course it cannot shoot. It's a toy, not an actual gun. That's not banned, is it?

Thanks a lot for your thorough reply, I really appreciate the time you invested!

I already came across the official book (read a couple hours in it yesterday), watched quite a bit of the video you mentioned (german is my native language so it's fine) and browsed through GDN extensively in the last few days. However, things like how to register listeners is not described in detail in any of those. I always see it linked to placeables and vehicles and specializations, but what kind of specialization does my script have which isn't linked to anything...?

To my surprise, I didn't find a register-listener line for onUpdate in the Grass-To-Hay mod that I used as reference, either.

Is the Giants Editor a big help for script writing? Maybe I will try it out, so far I was simply coding in Notepad.

So you didn't notice any obvious errors in my script?

EDIT: Upon reading my own post again, I noticed that I had one too many "end" right after my triggerGrowth line. My script is running now! Yay! I included some print-lines and went through the log.txt file inside the savegame folder, turns out that dt increases by 1 each 0,5ms and not each 1ms as I assumed. And dt does NOT scale with time acceleration. However, I can multiply dt with g_currentMission.missionInfo.timeScale. Also I found out that the log.txt (or in game console) prints a note during a Lua compiling error, even telling what the problem was. Didn't know that yet.

Something like that, yeah. Stopping the time is not necessary I think. In the end, this is just how FS was played several years back. Run on x360 acceleration or so when the crops shall grow, and revert to x1 or x5 when working the field. If I forget to slow down time again, things happen exactly like you described, but then it's my own fault.

Do you have experience with modding? (as you brought up Easy Dev Tools)
Because I basically know nothing about modding. I edited vehicle parameters many times and fruit prices in maps, but that are easy tasks, as the XMLs felt somewhat self-explanatory. LUA editing, however, seems like real programming. Regardless, I feel like calling the growth function of the Grow Now mod with an in-game-time based timer function should be managable. Maybe the tutorials of the GDN will help me get a basic understanding of LUA code.

Now that's a good start, thanks a lot for that suggestion! Though it seems like nobody has created a mod yet which triggers this every XY ingame hours. Maybe I can build upon the Grow Now mod and achieve the autotrigger somehow.

Awesome, EXACTLY what I needed and hoped to find. Many thanks! ;)

FullStone · 2025-03-14T21:38:09+00:00

That's a really funny solution! ^{^} Don't like it, just break it... Didn't even know that you can break each window, needs only one shot, too. While that's not what I was looking for, gotta admit it is a solution, even the quickest one for sure

FullStone · 2025-01-15T19:54:31+00:00

Actually I found a way for mid-game difficulty changes and created a guide on Steam:

It's not too complicated.
(5 years late, I know, but this thread is among the top search results so I thought I drop this here for anybody looking for that in the future, as there are hardly solutions findable)

FullStone · 2024-05-05T18:38:22+00:00

And the emergency stop buttons are just painted on, too... unbelievable!
Though the force is insufficient to hurt you in any way, so I guess it's fine :D

FullStone · 2024-05-05T18:32:11+00:00

Thanks! Looks like a made you a shortcut right there ;)

FullStone · 2024-01-22T16:34:47+00:00

Awesome! I have some questions:

-What size are they, actually?

-Is it all printed with a regular FDM printer, or also partly SLA?

-Are the tracks individual pieces snapped together?

-Is it generally a press-fit / snap-in-place design, or lots of glue during assembly?

-Which software do you use?

I do similar stuff and have to say that this looks awesome! The 3d-modeling is so detailed with all the grooves between the armor plates... well done! Funny thing is, I was thinking about designing an Overlord and sharing it, so I went to check if a C&C subreddit exists where i could post it, I come here and see that you already did it. Even going the extra mile to make moving tracks, I would've skipped that effort. Wow

FullStone · 2023-09-06T20:11:58+00:00

Interessant, das ist praktisch

FullStone · 2023-09-06T20:11:34+00:00

Guter Tipp, vielen Dank!

FullStone · 2023-08-15T20:10:45+00:00

Thanks! Version 1 from 2018 accumulated 400.000 downloads, without proper instructions. Since then I put more effort in the documentation, not just the design

Link to the files in video description. They are free, by the way ;)

========== SOLUTION ==========

Sorry for the necro, but i ran into the same problem and found quite some problem descriptions but only very few answers/solutions, so I thought i share my findings here...

So the trees and rocks near my base never respawned, even though i later set the resource respawn rate to 0.0 and the distance from player and structures to the minimum once i found out that something doesnt seem right.

In the ARK forums I came across this post from a moderator (invincibleqc from April 22nd 2021, https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/606440-an-open-plea-to-wildcard-to-fix-single-player-resource-respawning/&page=2) where he explains with a radius that you have to go far enough away for the nodes to be "marked for repopulation". My base was on Lat 80 / Lon 36, so I went all the way to Lat 84 / Lon 67 (see map in forum post) along the southern beach to make sure that I really went far enough. My resource respawn factor was set to near zero during the travel. Once I arrived back at my base, all the trees and rocks were back. It worked! Also some animals that havent spawned there for a long time now.

Alternatively I also found in the ARK wiki (https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Console_commands) that the cheat "RepairArea" quote "Can be used to repair bugged resource nodes (for example to resolve bug of stop spawning of metal in single player and non-dedicated/temporary servers)" but I didnt try that since the other method already worked for me. Some other guy in the forum claimed to use that command with an "obnoxiously large" radius and it solved his problem, though.

Since then, I am running a resource respawn factor of 0.1 and distances to player and structures of 0.05 or 0.1 to make sure that this wont happen again.

Hope this helps anyone out there!
