Super Stuctures is a building mod for ARK: Survival Evolved, forked from the July 19th, 2019 version of Structures Plus and is actively maintained by Legendarsreign. The goal of the mod is to maintain everything from its previous state and continue to develop, patch bugs, and improve upon it by adding new features and structures in addition to what the mod originally had.

Integrated Resource Pulling[edit | edit source]

This tool adds 3 additional buttons and one number input box to the UI of everything with an inventory. It is very useful in moving large quantities of items around i.e. grabbing metal from an Anklyo into an Industrial Forge.
These tools will only grab resources from boxes, creatures, and crafting stations that are not in use. By default, there is a 1 second cooldown on Resource Pulling.

Icon Purpose
Mod Super Structures Resource Pulling Repair Button.png The Repair button grabs the needed resources to repair the selected item.
Mod Super Structures Resource Pulling Craft Button.png The Craft button and input box grabs the needed resources to craft the number of the selected engram or blueprint. The input box must contain a number, highlight and overwrite the 1 to get numbers less than 10.
Mod Super Structures Resource Pulling Pull Button.png The Pull button can only be used after selecting an item or engram. It pulls up a UI that lists all resources that can be pulled to this inventory. Selecting a resource displays anything nearby that contains said resource. Choose how much you would like, click pull, then click done once you have what you need.

INI Options

The UI that displays resources uses a default list of available options, however it can be modified using the below INI options. 

Place these INI options at the bottom of your gameusersettings.ini (For servers, it has to be on the server) 
You must include the [SuperStructures] header.
You only need to include this if you wish to override the defaults, and you only need to include entries that are different.
Name Description Possible Values Default Value
PullResourceAdditions This allows you to add any resource you wish to the pull resource / dedicated storage list. It is a comma separated list of nearly the entire spawn code. Any resource
PullResourceRemovals This allows you to remove items from the default resource pull / dedicated storage list. It is a comma separated list of nearly the entire spawn code. Any resource

Examples:


This would add Pelt and Ankylo Egg to the resource pull list (this can be any mod or vanilla item):

  • PullResourceAdditions=/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Pelt.PrimalItemResource_Pelt,/Game/PrimalEarth/Test/PrimalItemConsumable_Egg_Ankylo.PrimalItemConsumable_Egg_Ankylo

This would remove Pelt and Chitin from the resource pull list (this list can only contain items that are on the default list):

  • PullResourceRemovals=/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Pelt.PrimalItemResource_Pelt,/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Chitin.PrimalItemResource_Chitin


Important note: Adding items or removing them from the lists above affects the Integrated Resource Pulling, SS Dedicated Storage Mod Super Structures icon.png, and the SS Inventory Assistant Mod Super Structures icon.png resource lists.

Recipes[edit | edit source]

  • All SS production stations (e.g. Preserving Bin, Forge or Cooker) show all available recipes as blueprints within the station. These blueprints can be selected and used in conjunction with the resource grabbing tool to easily produce food using resources from multiple nearby containers.
    • Note that for SS Preserving Bins in particular that the recipe blueprint does not automatically pull the additional Sparkpowder required to power the station.

Structures Plus (S+) vs Super Structures (SS)[edit | edit source]

Important Differences[edit | edit source]

  • The creator (orionsun) of S+ has not stated their intention one way or the other on continued development, while the developer of SS has released a roadmap of upcoming features.
  • Many building pieces in SS still bear the same file names as their Homestead counterparts. Server Owners & Players were previously able to migrate from S+ (July 19th, 2019 version) to SS without losing their structures before the May 18th, 2020 S+ update, but the Homestead Conversion Issue still exists.
  • Platforms Plus & Snappy Saddles have been integrated into S+, while SS has not integrated these mods.
  • Structure Pickup is enabled by default in Super Structures, while it is disabled by default in Structures Plus.
  • There are various configurable INI options that are not the same across the mods or have been renamed.
  • The tools listed both exist in S+/SS. Super Structures tools such as the SS Visibility Tool Mod Super Structures icon.png or SS Demo Gun Mod Super Structures icon.png are seperate tools (items), while S+ has combined these tools into the S+ Omni Tool Structures Plus Icon.png & S+ Multi-Tool Structures Plus Icon.png.

Unique Items in Super Structures[edit | edit source]

Updated Models in Super Structures[edit | edit source]

The SS Item Collector Mod Super Structures icon.png was given a brand new model.
