This mod adds a smaller and cheaper transmitter that does not require boss engrams to use, allows crafting, boss summon portals and can let server admins enable element/tribute item transfers.

The engram can be unlocked at level 80 and crafted in your inventory.

To enable element/tribute item transfers you must be an admin and enable the option either from the radial wheel or the structure inventory, you can also deactivate it the same way and have messages broadcast to all players to let them know when the element transfers are being activated/disabled, i have also added INI options for the messages just in case anyone needs to make use of this feature.

The transmitter can be used for crafting which is essentially the same as a tek replicator, the crafting speed has also been reduced to 1x by default for balance but a tek replicator normally has a crafting speed of 12.

There are 2 additional crafting engrams that lets you craft 1000 element dust from 1 element, or 1 element from 1000 dust which is must faster than crafting on your character.

Boss portals can be crafted and summoned from a transmitter which now also includes support for Lost Island.

When fuel is enabled the transmitter uses the following items

  • Element Shards (lasts 3 seconds)
  • Element Dust (lasts 6 seconds)[/list]
  • INI Options
  • [BetterTransmitter]
  • ActiveMessage=
  • DisabledMessage=
  • CraftingSpeed=1
  • PreventFuel=False
  • ActiveMessage is the message that is broadcast to all players when the element/tribute transfers are enabled.
  • DisabledMessage is the message that is broadcast to all players when the element/tribute transfers is disabled.
  • Crafting speed is how fast you want items to be crafted but do note this value will be doubled for players that has the tek replicator engram unlocked but always set to at least 12x if this value is less than that.
  • PreventFuel when set to true will allow the transmitter to operate without any fuel, if this is not set to true you will still need fuel to upload items or dino's.
  • Spawn Codes
  • cheat giveitem "/Game/Mods/BetterTransmitter/Structure/Structure_BetterTransmitter.Structure_BetterTransmitter" 1 0 0 false
