Randi's Wireless Power Transmitter Mod
Every seasoned survivor knows the pain of running cables across a sprawling base. You spend hours laying wire, hiding conduits, and praying that a wandering Giganotosaurus doesn't clip through a wall and snap your entire electrical grid. Randi's Wireless Power Transmitter Mod for ARK: Survival Ascended obliterates that headache entirely. Instead of chaining your structures to a single generator's physical output, this mod introduces a suite of power solutions that let you broadcast electricity through the air, creating clean, efficient, and visually stunning bases.
What Does the Mod Add to Your Arsenal?
This isn't just a single item. The mod brings three distinct pieces of equipment, all crafted in the Fabricator under a dedicated "Power Solutions" folder. Each one serves a specific purpose, allowing you to tailor your power network to the exact needs of your base, whether you are living in a thatch hut or a Tek-tier fortress.
The Standard Wireless Power Transmitter
This is your entry point into wireless energy. The engram unlocks at level 49 for 10 points. Once placed, it must be within the range of a standard powered generator to function. However, instead of requiring its own fuel, it creates a bubble of power around itself, effectively extending your generator's range. This is perfect for lighting up a perimeter or powering a distant workshop without dragging a single cable. A key benefit is that this standard version is fully paintable, allowing you to blend it into your walls or ceilings seamlessly.
The Tek Wireless Power Transmitter
For those who have ascended to the endgame, the Tek variant offers the same convenience but for Tek generators. Unlocked at level 49 for 10 points (note that you will find this engram at the bottom of the Tek engram section), it requires proximity to a powered Tek generator. It then creates a bubble of Tek power, which is essential for running high-end Tek structures like Teleporters, Forcefields, and Tek Replicators. Unlike its standard counterpart, this version is not paintable, so you will need to plan its placement carefully to maintain a clean aesthetic.
The Industrial Generator
Rounding out the set is a beefed-up Industrial Generator. Unlocked at level 60 for 10 points, this unit runs on Gasoline at the same consumption rate as the standard power generator. However, it boasts a significantly increased inventory capacity for fuel and a massive power range that matches that of the Tek Generator. This makes it the ultimate choice for massive bases that need a single, reliable power source without the need for Tek-tier resources. It is also paintable, giving you full control over its look.
Core Mechanics and a Pro Tip
Using the mod is straightforward. Place your generator, place a transmitter within its radius, and watch the power bubble expand. However, there is one important quirk to be aware of. If you add a new Wireless Transmitter to an existing network, you might need to pick up and replace any powered items (like refrigerators or turrets) that are already connected. This forces them to re-sync with the new power source. It is a minor inconvenience that is easily outweighed by the lack of cables.
Compatibility and Installation
This mod is a Cross Platform Approved Mod with ID 945058, meaning it works across different platforms where ARK: Survival Ascended is supported. It is designed to work with the latest versions of the game, but as with all mods, you should always check for updates on the official Discord channel to ensure compatibility with the most recent game patch. The mod is lightweight and does not conflict with other popular building or QoL mods, making it a safe addition to any mod list.
When you are ready to jump in, the easiest way to manage your setup is to download Randi's Wireless Power Transmitter Mod through a dedicated launcher. For instance, the foxygame.net launcher provides a one-click install for Randi's Wireless Power Transmitter Mod for ARK: Survival Ascended, and its integrated add-on catalog automatically checks for version compatibility, ensuring you never boot the game with a broken mod list.
