(AGE-Ported) Crafting Speed Injector
In the unforgiving world of ARK: Survival Ascended, time is your most precious resource. Whether you are grinding out thousands of nails for a metal base or mass-producing ammunition for an upcoming raid, the agonizingly slow crafting speeds of certain structures can become a bottleneck that stalls your entire operation. Enter the (AGE-Ported) Crafting Speed Injector, a standalone quality-of-life mod designed to eliminate these frustrating wait times with a simple, elegant solution. This powerful add-on takes a beloved concept from the 'Armor Gear Evolved' mod and ports it into a dedicated, lightweight tool for ASA.
What Does the (AGE-Ported) Crafting Speed Injector Do?
This mod introduces a single, deployable structure that acts as a crafting speed booster for any nearby inventory. The philosophy is simple: place it, power it, and forget it. Once placed, the Injector passively increases the crafting speed of structures within its influence, allowing you to produce items at a dramatically accelerated rate. It is specifically designed for those "pesky structures" that seem to take an eternity to finish their tasks, making it an indispensable asset for both solo players and large tribes.
Key Features and Mechanics
- Standalone Design: This is not a dependency mod. It functions entirely on its own, pulling only the specific structure from 'Armor Gear Evolved' without requiring the full mod to be installed.
- Place and Forget Utility: There is no complex management or upkeep required. Once the Injector is placed and active, it works passively in the background.
- Full INI Support: For server administrators and advanced players, the mod offers complete customization through INI settings. You can adjust the speed override to fine-tune the experience to your exact preference.
- Simple Engram Access: The structure is unlocked via a dedicated engram entry (
EE_AGEP_Injector) and crafted using a primal item (PIS_AGEP_Injector), making it easy to find and deploy.
Why You Need This Mod in Your ASA Gameplay
The core benefit of the (AGE-Ported) Crafting Speed Injector for ARK: Survival Ascended is the sheer amount of time it saves. Imagine being able to cook a full batch of kibble, refine thousands of ingots, or process a mountain of polymer in a fraction of the usual time. This efficiency boost allows you to focus on exploration, taming, and PvP rather than waiting for progress bars to fill. It is a game-changer for industrial bases where multiple crafting stations are running simultaneously.
INI Configuration for Custom Speed
For those who want to tailor the mod to their server's balance, the INI support is incredibly straightforward. By adding the following line to your GameUserSettings.ini, you can control the exact multiplier applied to the crafting speed:
[AGE-Ported] SpeedInjectorSpeed_Override=2500.0
This value will override the crafting speed of the structure's inventory. Lower values provide a modest boost, while higher values can make crafting nearly instantaneous. This flexibility ensures the mod works for casual PvE servers and hardcore boosted PvP servers alike.
