Net Deliveries
Running a bustling ARK: Survival Ascended server often means juggling dozens of tasks, from managing player requests to orchestrating community events. Keeping everything organized and visually distinct can quickly become a headache. The Net Deliveries mod steps in as a clever quality-of-life solution, designed specifically for the #Net Cluster and any server admin who wants a cleaner way to distribute items, rewards, or event loot.
Instead of relying on messy drop bags or confusing storage boxes, this mod introduces a set of highly visible, themed delivery boxes. Each one is crafted to be instantly recognizable, whether you are setting up a simple player gift or a large-scale server-wide celebration.
What Exactly Does Net Deliveries Add?
At its core, the mod is all about clear, visual communication. It currently adds a total of 14 distinct boxes, split into two functional categories. This gives you the flexibility to choose the right tool for the job, depending on whether you want a subtle indicator or something that screams for attention.
The Chibi Boxes: Colored Glow Heart
The first set of seven boxes features the iconic #Net Logo and a colored glow heart. These are perfect for personal deliveries, like sending a special gift to a tribe member or rewarding a player for a job well done. The glowing heart is a nice, friendly touch that makes the package feel personal.
The Event Boxes: Colored Beam
The second set of seven boxes also sports the #Net Logo but is distinguished by a colored beam of light shooting into the sky. These are your go-to for events. If you are hiding a prize somewhere on the map or want to mark a specific drop zone, the beam makes it visible from a distance, ensuring players can easily locate the objective.
Both sets are available in a spectrum of colors to help you further categorize your deliveries:
- Blue - For standard items or water-related resources.
- Gold - For premium rewards or rare loot.
- Green - For common resources or crafting materials.
- Purple - For engrams or special unlocks.
- Red - For combat gear or dangerous items.
- White - For general-purpose or neutral packages.
- Yellow - For currency or valuable trade goods.
How to Get Your Boxes: Spawn Codes
Acquiring these boxes is straightforward for server admins using the in-game console. You will need to use the cheat giveitem command followed by the specific blueprint path. Here is a breakdown of the codes for the Heart Boxes:
- Blue:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/ChibiBoxes/Blue_Chibi_Box/PrimalItemStructure_Blue_Net_Chibi_Box.PrimalItemStructure_Blue_Net_Chibi_Box' - Gold:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/ChibiBoxes/Gold_Chibi_Box/PrimalItemStructure_Gold_Net_Chibi_Box.PrimalItemStructure_Gold_Net_Chibi_Box' - Green:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/ChibiBoxes/Green_Chibi_Box/PrimalItemStructure_Green_Net_Chibi_Box.PrimalItemStructure_Green_Net_Chibi_Box' - Purple:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/ChibiBoxes/Purple_Chibi_Box/PrimalItemStructure_Purple_Net_Chibi_Box.PrimalItemStructure_Purple_Net_Chibi_Box' - Red:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/ChibiBoxes/Red_Chibi_Box/PrimalItemStructure_Red_Net_Chibi_Box.PrimalItemStructure_Red_Net_Chibi_Box' - White:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/ChibiBoxes/White_Chibi_Box/PrimalItemStructure_White_Net_Chibi_Box.PrimalItemStructure_White_Net_Chibi_Box' - Yellow:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/ChibiBoxes/Yellow_Chibi_Box/PrimalItemStructure_Yellow_Net_Chibi_Box.PrimalItemStructure_Yellow_Net_Chibi_Box'
Similarly, here are the codes for the Event Boxes with the location beams:
- Blue:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/EventBoxes/Blue/PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Blue.PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Blue' - Gold:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/EventBoxes/Gold/PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Gold.PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Gold' - Green:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/EventBoxes/Green/PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Green.PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Green' - Purple:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/EventBoxes/Purple/PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Purple.PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Purple' - Red:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/EventBoxes/Red/PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Red.PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Red' - White:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/EventBoxes/White/PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_White.PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_White' - Yellow:
Blueprint'/Net_Deliveries/EventBoxes/Yellow/PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Yellow.PrimalItemStructure_Net_Event_Box_Yellow'
Remember to use the standard 1 0 0 arguments after the blueprint path to specify quantity, quality, and force-tame flags (in this case, quantity 1, blueprint 0, and force 0).
Installation and Compatibility
Before you can start spawning boxes, you need to ensure the mod is active on your server. The installation process is generally simple. You can add it to your mod list on the server settings and then restart the server. For those who prefer a more streamlined process, the foxygame.net launcher provides a one-click install feature that handles the mod setup automatically, so you can get Net Deliveries running without digging through server files manually.
Supported Versions and Mod Load Order
The mod is built for the current generation of ARK: Survival Ascended. It is designed to work with the standard ASA framework, but it is always wise to check for updates. As with any mod, load order can matter. If you are running a stack of other mods, placing Net Deliveries in the correct sequence can prevent conflicts. Generally, it works well alongside other quality-of-life and building mods, but you should always test it in a controlled environment first. If you are using a mod manager, ensure that Net Deliveries for ARK: Survival Ascended is enabled before you launch the game.
For players who are not running their own server, you can still use these items if you have admin privileges on your current server. The spawn codes are universal, so they work on any server that has the mod loaded. If you are looking to try it out on a single-player world, the same commands apply.
Why Use Net Deliveries?
There are several reasons why this mod is a step up from standard methods of item distribution. The primary benefit is the reduction in confusion. In a busy base or event area, a standard box can be lost in the scenery. The glowing hearts and beams ensure that the intended recipient—or participants—can spot the package immediately. This is particularly useful for admin events where you want to maintain pace and excitement without players having to hunt around for a hidden crate.
Furthermore, the color-coding system adds a layer of organization that is hard to beat. You can establish a server rule where Gold boxes are always for rare loot, or Red boxes are for PvP gear. This creates a consistent, understandable system for your community.
Final Thoughts on the Net Deliveries Mod
Net Deliveries is a focused, practical mod that solves a specific problem for ARK: Survival Ascended server admins. It is not about adding new creatures or game-changing mechanics; it is about improving the flow of administration and events. The visual clarity provided by the beams and hearts is a massive quality-of-life improvement, and the straightforward spawn codes make it easy to implement.
Whether you are managing a large public cluster or a small private server with friends, this mod is a worthy addition. It simplifies the delivery process, enhances event visibility, and brings a level of polish to item distribution that is often missing in the base game. If you are ready to streamline your admin duties, you can download Net Deliveries from the usual mod repositories and get those colorful boxes into your world today. The launcher's auto-update feature also ensures you always have the latest version, keeping your server stable and compatible with the latest ASA patches.
