So CS is disabled on the latest solo/duo wipe looks like. We are only left will pull system and propergators now. i think some of the complaints are right tho, asking for nanny, repair station and other quality of life stuff.

i tested all the other alternatives for cs that i found now, witch are
QoL+
SuperStructures Ascneded
B+
some smaller private mods from other clusters

out of these i think B+ is the best. (Even better then CS in my opinion) As the other mods still missing key features or just try to be small versions of a structure mod on purpose.

  • B+ has all the CS features i can think of in similar quality or better. Only thing i couldn't find was tribute converter.
  • The UI for pulling looks clean af.
  • instead of separate engrams the B+ versions are variants of normal structures. you craft normal repli for example and place the B+ like you would place a double door after crafting a regular wall.
  • all functional structures are scaleable. like you can still have small and medium sized grinder and everything in between
  • unwanted variants can be disabled in admin menu so we are just left with vanilla versions like before if needed
  • has implemented dino level gun, even better for level specifically as you can copy levels from existing dinos instead of just pumping remaining levels into health ( no saddle up mode tho, just to be clear )
  • transferable element can be crafted in grinder
  • brings back loadout mannequin
  • has implemented nets (if wanted)

most important: still gets uptades and is actively getting improvements but updates are by far not as frequent as with CS.

Totally agree, just wondering if there are any updates on this issue from any admin, or if any changes will be made, and if so, a time frame on how long

No CS or B+ is diabolical 💀

It was changed just recently with the latest wipe. CS caused a lot of issues with item loss and transfers. Nobody expect it to get removed without a replacement. But thats how it is now. If you like B+ as an alternative give this post a like. If you found a better replacement feel free to suggest it as well.

fredwanzt has been warned

Reason: Posted an invite

spare dove
#

because if its 5x a week like CS then we are in the same boat

#

hmmm

finite axle
#

still frequent but by far less. just counted updates from past 2 month. its 38 updates from cs compared to 17 updates from B+

still not perfect i guess but like major improvement. like others said, no qol mod at all also shit

toxic lantern
#

agreed even if there are some updates im sure 99% of players would take fewer updates for massive qol improvement

Ronnie this is might be worth of a community vote. Qol mods is a very sensitive topic for many players. Glad that you see the issue with cs but no mod also kind of shit. Bet most ppl will accept some updates as long they get a somewhat good qol mod

#

just before we get nothing for the next seasons ._.

QoL+ was replaced by CS if I am not mistaken, as the project looked semi-abandoned and if there was issue, there was barely any support.

finite axle
#

remember s+ not updating after gen came out and you had the feeding trough range enabled all time. whole base was green for month on all clusters untill ss came out

Idk, as long as we have pulling and tool, it's kinda alright. I mean Nanny was the one I was missing the most, but except for that I didn't feel any insane urge for other QoL.

True, but that one we have separately.

toxic lantern
#

what about smaller

#

thats my main thing imo

cursive lion
#

I mean if we could have a Nanny, its alright.

# toxic lantern what about smaller

I understand that for rathole guys its annoying without small replicator, but thats just my personal PoV as I hate ratholes in general, I don't see it as a problem.

finite axle
#

also no noise without need to use mods

toxic lantern
#

i understand the rathole argument but I still see people building in them so

#

mustve not been affected

cursive lion
#

I mean they will build in them.

#

In many cases you can still fit in repli, its just less convenient.

toxic lantern
#

im built in one rn without rep

#

and have full dedis and cryo

#

its more about small entrances

cursive lion
#

I mean ratholes have many advantages already, they should also have reasonable disadvantages, but that's not what the topic is about. People were annoyed that they had to keep redownloading cs mod whenever transferring, which was annoying as hell.

toxic lantern
#

agreed which is why if we have something like b+ where it may be once a week

#

then thats not a problem

cursive lion
#

And those bigger modpacks are quite heavy in general (at least thats how it feels like), even though you don't properly use most of stuff there.

#

I am not convinced that cs issue was that it was updating often

#

Because when I was transferring back and forth, it kept redownloading, even though those transfers were in fast intervals.

toxic lantern
#

I get that but id rather test something like b+

cursive lion
#

Sometimes I was transferring - it downloaded and whenever the transfer failed (I got dced), I had to download it again directly.

toxic lantern
#

just like we tested solo duo with no cs or anything like it

#

best way to find out if it works is trial and error

#

especially for 6 man where u have to craft so much more build so much more and breed so much more that stuff is very useful

#

but lets just put it to a poll so everyone has a voice

finite axle
#

ye Ronnie would have to do that and make the last decision as well. B+ would be fire.

toxic lantern
#

yup agreed
