Attention All Ark Players - Deadline: March 17th 2018

Posted here for additional exposure. ARK players, please read this thread Jiro posted.

As some of you may, or may not, have been following along over the course of the last year we've had some issues with stack mod support. The stack mod we've used for our HappyDiggers Ark servers since stack mods were a thing hasn't been updated for close to a year now. This is because the author in charge of the mod had been banned (which is another can of worms in itself). The author never passed on the mod rights to another user for updating and the stack mod is a year and a half behind in content if you include scorched earth since the author created a separate mod for those resources.

A change needed to be made, so I introduced a new stack mod with regular updates following the developer kit updates. Aberration has been using Ultra Stacks since the server release and the author promptly updated the stack mod when the dev kit was available. The problem this creates is we can't transfer the resources from Aberration to any other HD Ark server since different stack mods are used. In order to remedy this I'll have to make The Island, Scorched Earth, and Ragnarok all have the same stack mod.

The reason why this is a big deal is almost ALL of your resources on The Island, Scorched Earth, and Ragnarok will be deleted. I've spent the better part of 5-6 months looking for ways around this, but they just don't seem to exist. Stack mods turn normal resources into modded resources that provide the same functions. Therefore when you remove a stack mod the modded items cease to exist as well. This is a huge reason why I've waited this long to make a serious stack mod change, while holding out hope the Resource Stacks mod author would actually help the community and hand off development.
