Awesome Teleporters!
If you have ever spent twenty minutes flying a slow pteranodon across the map only to realize you forgot your best armor back at base, you know the pain. ARK: Survival Ascended is a game of immense scale and constant danger, and travel time can often feel like a punishment. That is where Awesome Teleporters! steps in. This essential mod transforms how you navigate the island, the center, and every other map in the game. It is not just about convenience; it is about reclaiming your playtime and focusing on the actual survival, building, and taming that you love.
This mod adds three powerful new items to your arsenal, each designed to solve a specific travel problem. Whether you are a solo player, a small tribe, or a massive alpha clan, the flexibility offered here is unmatched. Let's break down exactly what you get when you download Awesome Teleporters!.
The Core: Teleporter
The standard Teleporter is your network hub. You place these around the map, and they allow you to jump between them after a short delay. The process is simple: bring up the Teleport UI from the radial menu. Only friendly Teleporters, or those set to "Public" via the radial menu, will appear in your list. The UI shows the custom name you gave each Teleporter along with its coordinates, making navigation a breeze.
One of the best features is the three different "bubble" sizes that can be set from the radial menu. This allows you to create a small, personal teleport zone or a massive one for moving an entire herd of dinos. The Teleporter can be picked up and does not require foundations, giving you total freedom in placement. You can even add them to your favorites, which will make them appear first in the UI list for quick access.
But the utility does not stop there. The Teleporter can also retrieve items from your corpse and find your dinos, saving you from those dreaded death runs. This makes it a true all-in-one utility for any survivor.
Remote Teleporter: Teleport from Anywhere
What if you are out in the wilderness and need to get back to base instantly? The Remote Teleporter is your personal device. Use it to teleport to any friendly or public Teleporter from anywhere on the map. When you activate it, it creates a Teleport bubble at your current location. After a short delay, it teleports conscious players and dinos to the chosen location. You can even leave the bubble before it finishes to only teleport a friend or a specific dino.
This device functions exactly like the regular Teleporters, but the bubble size cannot be changed. It is the perfect tool for a quick escape or for calling in a flying mount from your base. For those who want the absolute best experience with minimal hassle, using the foxygame.net launcher ensures you get the latest version of Awesome Teleporters! with a one-click install, so you can get back to exploring without worrying about mod conflicts.
Awesome Dino Tracker: Never Lose a Tame Again
Losing a high-level tame in a dense forest or underwater cave is heartbreaking. The Awesome Dino Tracker solves this. Use it on a dino, and you will be able to teleport that dino to your location from a remote using right-click, or via a Teleporter using the radial menu. This respects tribe governance settings, so you cannot steal dinos from others. If the dino has no personal owner, it can be "claimed" by a tribe member from the radial menu, making it a great tool for managing shared tames.
INI Options and Server Configuration
For server admins, Awesome Teleporters! for ARK: Survival Ascended offers a deep level of customization through its INI options. You can control everything from cooldowns to whether teleporters require power. Here are some of the key settings you can tweak:
- AdminsSeeAllTeleporters: Let admins see every player and teleporter regardless of team.
- AllowTeleportingToPlayers: Enable friendly players as teleport locations.
- AllowTeleportingWildDinos: Decide if non-carried wild dinos can be teleported.
- TeleportersAreTransmitters: Make the teleporter inventory act like a Tek Transmitter.
- AllowCorpseFinder: Let players retrieve their stuff from their corpse.
- MeshDetection: Ensure the teleport destination is not inside a map mesh.
- MaxTeleportersPerTribe: Set a cap on how many teleporters a tribe can have.
- TeleportCooldown: Set a wait time before a player can create a new bubble.
- CombatCooldown: Prevent teleporting for a set time after taking or dealing damage.
- DisableTeleportingDinoClasses: Add a comma-separated list of dino classes that can never be teleported.
This level of control ensures that the mod can be balanced for any server type, from PvE to hardcore PvP. The mod is designed to work with the current versions of ARK: Survival Ascended, and its compatibility with other popular mods is generally excellent. However, for the smoothest experience, checking for updates is key. The foxygame.net launcher has a dedicated add-on catalog that tracks mod updates, so you will always know when a new patch for Awesome Teleporters! is available, ensuring version compatibility is never an issue.
Installation and Final Thoughts
So, how to install this game-changer? The process is straightforward. You can find the mod on the Steam Workshop for ARK: Survival Ascended. Simply subscribe to it, and it will download automatically. For those using a dedicated server, you will need to add it to your mod list. If you are using a launcher like foxygame.net, the process is even simpler, as it handles the installation and updates for you, letting you focus on playing.
In conclusion, Awesome Teleporters! is more than just a convenience mod; it is a quality-of-life revolution. It eliminates the most tedious parts of ARK, allowing you to spend more time on the exciting parts.
