Custom Fabricator Inventory not working

Could somebody please help me?
I’m running into an issue with my custom structure’s PrimalInventory component.

When I use a default PrimalInventory component on my CustomStructure, my CustomStructure is missing all PrimalItem engrams that refer to the VanillaStructure (aka, the vanilla fabricator). So, I’m assuming I need to create a PrimalItem child class or ten in order to proceed…

Do I also need to create an EngramEntry for each of my new PrimalItem child classes? Is it possible to add an EngramEntry to the game, yet hide it from players engram list by default? Because then I could get this to function correctly without spamming player engram lists with duplicate entries…It’d involve adding each and every PrimalItem referenced to the VanillaStructure to my own CustomStructure, and then some.

Is there an easier way to just carry on a vanilla PrimalInventory component to a new Structure?

u can reparent to the Fab the item but u won’t be then able to change any inventory or emitter settings such as more slots and change inventory access sounds stuff like that

plus if u did make a custom inventory and pointed it to item that are in the fab… it wont work cause alot of engrams require the Vanilla fab to craft that item…

This is incorrect. You just have to do it differently.

5

I’m listening?

6

its not incorrect its the way of doing it. You might have a different way of doing it but doesn’t mean its incorrect

7

lol, wait a min, you say you it isnt possbile to do it, then you say i have a different way of doing it, so its definitely possible, yet you arent incorrect?

Slay Ride Lift Kit changes emitter and activation sounds and its parented to the original.

Just because you can’t do it, doesn’t mean its not possible. We have proven that many many many many… times with you.

Limit what you take from spezz, he really has no clue what he is talking about here, and is known for crashing servers and corrupting world saves. Just have to look at his change notes for that evidence. No im not harassing, just providing insight for some people taking “advice” from spezz.

again ur stating things that have nothing to do with what he was asking instead of belittling of what i do or have done answer him and show him how u i really thing u envy me every time i write something on here u have something smart to say and again start accusing me of things that aren’t true which is a form of harassment if u keep reply to post that i write and have nothing to do with what the post author has asked.

Ok as I’m curious about this as well, I more or less just want to add more items to craft in the vanilla mortar and pastel. Much like OP is trying to do with the Fabricator? (or is OP making his own fabricator copy that will make the same things as the vanilla?)

Besides the history you two share would you be able to explain your methods of doing it(both of you), pros and cons leaving out any comments to each others?

Now I think my question might be different than OP’s so don’t let me Hijack his thread, but if you can answer mine that’d be cool too.

Its already been answered here on the forums in several posts.

Basically, everything that has been asked here, already has an answer in other posts. There are about 5 or so that answer all of these questions.

All I have tried to do was let him know spezz is not right, to ignore it, and keep looking for his answer, as it is out there. As I have done in all of my posts here. (And doing again in this one)

And some how, this always comes down to me envying him, which i think he just has the wrong definition of at this point. Despise as a nuance to this community, would be more like it, he is just a bunch of noise.

I am still not sure what of his that I would be envious over? He has yet to clarify that yet. Again, he is trying to detract from the actual purpose here (saying im starting things, all i originally said was thats wrong, some how, he takes this as harassment, another word he needs to look up the definition of, and starts a bunch of **** any time anyone corrects him), which is to encourage the OP to keep digging.

If anyone/thing is being harassed, its this community being harassed with his presence, causing all of these conflicts where it has become impossible to assist anyone when he is involved (as you have just witnessed).

Intellectual conversation doesn’t exist around him, he just turns it into a shouting match where he tries to make everyone feel sorry for him cause I don’t put up with his ******** and I am not scared to call him out on it.

I didn’t answer the OP question directly, no, because thats part of modding. Digging for answers. But at least i didn’t give a blatantly wrong answer and try to prevent someone from finding the right one, and then throw a fit when someone corrects.

I shall keep digging as well, Thanks

EDIT:
not sure if this will help OP but this thread looks like what I need

Hey guys,

Just wanted to come back and say I figured it out while investigating spezz’s suggestion. It didn’t exactly solve my issue right away but it made me research and grasp what I was doing wrong, as well as how things should be behaving with inventory’s and childs

The fab is fixed and all is well, thanks for the help.
