Ferrat's Resource Factory.

MOD ID# - 1166321473

If like me, you tire of searching in dangerous dino infested areas for rare resources and long for an easier safer way to obtain those resources then this is the mod for you.

This is the remake of Ferrat's Crystal Factory, and in effect replaces the old 'Ferrat's Crystal Factory_V3.3' mod that I have been unable to update, this may mean you having to recraft (or spawn in) the new models for that I apologize now but it is unavoidable, better to have a mod that can be updated regularly.

With this new mod it is now possible to produce Crystals, Angler Gel, Silica Pearls, Obsidian & Sand. Also, the resources are now crafted using blueprints found inside the Pressure Box (no need to learn them).

The theory behind the working of this mod is that the Pressure Box breaks down the player inserted materials then uses extreme pressure to combine them into a new resource, you can find a breakdown of the materials needed for each new resource below. Pressure Box has 500 slots. Included is a Wood Burner which converts wood into Charcoal in half the time a campfire would do the job and is now fuelled by the wood itself (no need for sparkpowder). This has 150 slots so plenty of room for charcoal, (please note as yet it is not possible to cook meat in this model). This mesh simply convert wood into charcoal faster than a campfire and the forge (in fact about half the time). Engram is learn-able at level 20 (to enable you to use it for just charcoal at an earlier level).

There are 2 meshes within this mod, they are .....

The Charcoal Burner. (Charcoal Oven) (Wood powered)

Building material costs....

Stone x 150 Metal Ingots x 50 Cementing Paste x 75 Wood x 200

No engram costs

Spawn code .... cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/Crystal_Factory/Charcoal_Burner/Blueprints/PrimalItemStructure_Charcoal_Burner.PrimalItemStructure_Charcoal_Burner'" 1 1 false

Hide Code..... OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Charcoal_Burner_C",EngramLevelRequirement=55,EngramPointsCost=10,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

The Pressure Box (Resource Factory) (Electric Powered)

Building material costs....

Metal Ingots x 200 Cementing Paste x 75 Electronics x 75 Polymer x 20

No engram costs

Spawn code....

cheat giveitem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/Crystal_Factory/PressureBox/Blueprints/PrimalItemStructure_PressureBox.PrimalItemStructure_PressureBox'" 1 1 false

Hide Code.... OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_PressureBox_C",EngramLevelRequirement=55,EngramPointsCost=10,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

You need to be lvl 40 for both.

Here is a breakdown of the Materials needed to make the new resource, please note these are highlighted in the blueprint in game also.

Silica Pearls....

1 x Tree Sap 1 x Stone

Obsidian....

1 x Oil 3 x Sand (I have included a blueprint to produce sand where none is available i.e. The Island or The Center) 2 x Stone

Crystals....

1 x Flint 1 x Keratin 1 x Stone

Angler Gel....

1 x Cement Paste 3 x Raw Fish Meat 1 x Silica Pearls

Sand....

1 x Stone 1 x Flint 1 x Chitin

New resource added 14/10/2017 Black Pearls (these are not so easily crafted (because they are VERY rare in game)

10 x Stone 10 x Tree Sap 5 x Oil 5 x Fish Meat Each Black pearl takes 30 minutes to craft.

New resources added 20/10/17 Bio Toxin

5 x Organic Polymer 50 x Narcoberries 10 x Tree Sap

TEK Element

20 x Metal 20 x Polymer 25 x Obsidian 5 x Bio Toxin

RESOURCE CRAFTING TIMES.... With the exception of Black Pearls, Bio Toxin, Sand and TEK Element each resource will craft in one minute that gives 100 of any resource in 1 hour and 20 minutes.

BLACK PEARLS times are 30 minutes for one item and if my maths is correct that is 100 in 50 hours (this is because it is a VERY rare item)

SAND is a relatively common resource, only included to allow you to have sand where it is not available i.e. The Island, This will craft in 30 seconds which gives 100 in 50 minutes.

BIO TOXIN will craft 1 item every 5 mins that is 100 Bio Toxins in just over 8 hours.

TEK ELEMENT is a rare item and should be difficult to produce because of this 1 item is crafted every 10 minutes that is 100 in 16 hours.

I am open to suggestions for crafting times ONLY if more than a couple of users ask for it, I will not change them for just one or two users, so if you want them changed, speak up!

I think I have included all the rarer resources and have ironed out most if not all the problems, but if you find a problem or want something added then let me know please.

DO NOT RELY ON THIRD PARTY UPDATERS ON SERVERS AS THESE DO NOT WORK 100% OF THE TIME, ALWAYS USE FTP UPLOADS TO REPLACE OUT OF DATE MODS, THAT WAY YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THE LATEST UPDATE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR MODS, THIS IS THE MAIN REASON FOR MODS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.
