Automated Ark - Mod Review (Ark Survival Ascended)

[@Cyber_Angel_1]

Thanks a million brother for showcasing this mod. I ignored it when I saw it before. I simply did not think it was this deep and super awesome. Were it not for your video I would have missed out on perhaps one of the top 3 best mods on Ark. Keep up the great work. It is greatly appreciated. 👍

[@CapnMcRummy]

I'd never used it before either but I was pleasantly surprised by all the cool things it could do. Cheers 🍻

[@GamingwithJael]

This is a great review, thank you for sharing, the only other thing to mention is the pulling function when crafting. Not as good as S+ pulling from ASE, but it is great

[@CapnMcRummy]

Yeah I would have loved to tried S+ on ASE but we never had mods on console. Getting spoiled now with all the mods on ASA though. Cheers 🍻

[@CapnMcRummy]

Do you use Automated Ark? What do you think of it? Have you found any of the easter eggs? Is there a mod you think I should review next? Comment below 🍻

[@luukgroot]

Can you do Cyber Structures?

[@CapnMcRummy]

That one looks cool. I'll definitely add it to the list. Cheers 🍻

[@droversanity3682]

I use this mod for 2-3 specific structure. Ant hill,Medical Station and Refridgerated Chem Bench. these 3 items are the BEST structure. while I also enjoy AA Forge. however I am having Very hard time with ressource pulling part

[@droversanity3682]

Review More Ammunition Mod.

[@CapnMcRummy]

@@droversanity3682 That sounds interesting. I'll definitely give it a look 🍻

[@bennyolver6745]

Long live the Baywatch run!!

[@CapnMcRummy]

The Hoff has got some competition for sure 😆🍻

[@JoeH-vr5kt]

I want this mod for the engram pod alone, now that is a great qol feature.

[@JoeH-vr5kt]

actually, a lot of these are great. just not a fan of the logos on all the stations.

[@CapnMcRummy]

@@JoeH-vr5kt Yeah it seems to be common feedback for the mod. But you're right, I could see players getting benefit from even using just a few of the pieces 🍻

[@freddykrueger1483]

Could you do Cybers Structures next? Love your reviews!

[@CapnMcRummy]

Cheers. And cyber structures are definitely on my list 🍻

[@sugarperez6933]

I was playing the island single player on Xbox and my fridge was pulling the crops out of the crop plots but now I'm on scorched earth and now I have to go pull the crops out manually any way to fix this?

[@CapnMcRummy]

Haven't heard that one before. I'd suggest pop in and ask the author in their discord. They are pretty active and I'm sure they will be able to diagnose what's going on so you can get back to enjoying the mod properly 🍻

[@khaoss9992]

How many mods can you run on PC single player? There seems to have been a patch on ASA to limit how many you have running.

[@CapnMcRummy]

Not sure about PC but on console they recently upped the amount to 20gb worth. The most I've had running at once is around 20ish and that felt a bit like overkill 😆🍻

[@Shadovv...]

How do you open the settings tab to change the speed and storage for everything?

[@CapnMcRummy]

On PS5 the menu is down the bottom right of the inventory screen, look for the AA. Not sure what the option is for PC and Xbox but I'd be surprised if it's not similar 🍻

[@Shadovv...]

Of the player or the console? Like at 0:39 ​@@CapnMcRummy

[@CapnMcRummy]

Just prior to that you can see the inventory screen with the cooked meat. Down the bottom right there is a little "AA" icon. Click that and it brings up the settings menu. You'll need to be in admin or creative mode I believe to access it but it should be there 🍻

[@Shadovv...]

Okay thank you so much ​@@CapnMcRummy

[@scottpersing8336]

I have been using it and it saves a lot of time at the cost of some of the cosmetics. Somehow I missed the settings menu. Can anyone let me know how to pull that up (I’m on Xbox).

[@CapnMcRummy]

On PS5 the menu is down the bottom right of the inventory screen, look for the AA. I'd imagine it would likely be the same for Xbox 🍻

[@BadBanana]

The aa console needs a lot more work to make it bare able

[@CapnMcRummy]

I found the more I used it the more I understood and was comfortable with the interface. But even so I think there's always room for improvement to be made 🍻

[@naiokanaeholo5408]

Not sure if you reviewed itbut visual storage is awesome.

[@CapnMcRummy]

I have. And it is! Check out the playlist for that one and more. Cheers🍻

[@JoeH-vr5kt]

@@CapnMcRummy Have you done dino depot yet? I cant find a comprehensive guide to it and I am not sure if its not working properly or if I am messing something up.

[@CapnMcRummy]

I haven't but it looks interesting for sure. Will have to add it to the growing list. Cheers 🍻

[@LMD2915]

Too. Many. Obnoxious. Logos.

[@CapnMcRummy]

Seems to be a common critique for sure

[@Dain_Bramage702]

Stopped using it when they slathered their name and logo all over everything. They need to give you a way to opt out of the narcissistic self promotion.

[@CapnMcRummy]

That's a good suggestion. Fingers crossed they add that in a future update 🍻

[@LMD2915]

Wow, I thought I was the only person who felt that way! Those logos slathered all over everything make me crazy. I turn the vaults so they face the wall, and make my own signs out of paintings. The grinder is turned towards the wall. I use the forge, but the logo is small so it’s not too offensive. The generator is turned to the wall. That huge AA smithy (or whatever it where you craft all the AA stuff) stays in storage until I need to use it, then gets put away immediately. I do use parts of it, but I never had the time nor inclination to try to figure out all of it. I like it, but really mostly only for the vaults. But those stupid logos all over everything put me off of using it fully right from the start.

[@wyckedgames4975]

I actually thought it was a way to identify vanilla or other mod structures from the AA ones, with the old S+ II used to hate that I couldn't tell my S+ structures from the vanilla, especially when I would get so many vanilla structure pieces from ASE drops.

[@Dain_Bramage702]

@@wyckedgames4975 On my servers back in Evolved when using S+ I had all vanilla engrams with an S+ equivalent turned off. Except the Cooking pot because Chibis lol For drops, I just used the S+ converter.

[@sugarperez6933]

This is an insane take lol I like the logos
