Ark Dev Kit Corrupted For no Reason

The ark Dev kit is terrible. I’m using the latest ver and its driven me insane.
For no reason at all, with no errors showing, and working perfectly fine inside the dev kit simulator, once i cook my mod and try to use it ingame, it can’t stack with any other mods.
I reinstall my dev kit and with the exact same mod project i cook, then voila, it finally works and can stack now.
This is maddening to troubleshoot. At first I thought I did modding error and i’ve spent all weekend trying to debug.

Please also put an option to let us export/backup our projects so that we can uninstall and reinstall devkit and then import/restore our projects again. Otherwise it’s very dangerous and tedious when this kind of corrupted dev kit happens we might lose all our projects.

You can back your mods up manually, and should make a habit of doing so.

Example from the computer I have the ADK and all my modelling programs: D:\Dev\Programs\Epic Games\ARKDevKit\Projects\ShooterGame\Content\Mods

-WM

Id say find a nice spot on a seperate harddrive for extra redundancy and back it up to there daily or after each time you finish making major changes or something you cba to redo, then verify again on the ue launcher, then re download the update
