Tek Structures Mod

Designed to specifications for the Twitch.tv streamer IAmSp00n's community ARK server, this mod brings the Tek Tier structures out of the Tekgram system and into the Engram system and with specifc resource cost conversions.

The Engrams are unlocked starting at Level 70 and cost for the most part precisely twice as much as their metal counterparts, and follow the same pattern of parts distributed accross levels. A miniaturized and speDesigned to specifications for the Twitch.tv streamer IAmSp00n's community ARK server, this mod brings the Tek Tier structures out of the Tekgram system and into the Engram system and with specifc resource cost conversions.

Most of the structures have the following resource cost conversions. The Tek Replicator is the exception, since as it is crafted in the inventory its components must weigh less than a certain amount.

Metal Ingot costs remain the same. Crystal costs are doubled. Polymer costs are converted to Cementing Paste. Black Pearl costs are removed. Element costs are removed.

Currently, the Tek Structure Replicator and the Tek Generator consume the following types of fuels function for the following durations with those fuels.

Gasoline - 1 minute Propellant - 5 minutes Black Pearls - 1 hour Any Artifact - 24 hours

The vacuum compartments are modified to be capable of being placed outside of water. This allows for underwater bases to begin at shore, and for vacuum compartments to be used for base construction.

Two variant vacuum compartments are available at level 100. They do not require external power, and can be placed on platform saddles. To provide for this self sufficiency, they require twice the materials of a powered vacuum chamber of the same type, 100 black pearls, and any artifact during construction.

UPDATE: To make sure everything is available, I've reduced the engram level requirements by 5 for each item. Until the dev kit is updated with the new engram system, I won't be able to restore the layout to match the metal tier per the specifications of the mod.

POSSIBLE ISSUE: When using the self-powered vacuum chambers on a platform saddle while on a dedicated server, there have been reported instances of some players still experiencing swimming physics and postprocessing effects, though they register no oxygen loss. This seems to have occurred only in the vaccum chambers, not in the moonpool. I've reproduced this issue on a dedicated server, but I haven't sorted out the cause of it. If you have experienced this issue, or the opposite, in which the vacuum chambers function properly on a platform saddle on a dedicated server, please let me know.

Note: The issue with the structure replicator not being craftable or placeable appears to be resolved with today's update, in the tests I've run.
