Fresh mod started with 2 components & item doesn't exist when playing with mod.

@OP how do you verify if it is cooking out correctly?

Checking by eye.

as far as I can tell, and that’s from my limited testing… You basically have to duplicate everything that every item in the game references in your mod, then you’ve got to copy the vanilla gamemode and gamedata files. I think that’s how it works. Which is a shame, because that’s horribly inefficient in terms of mod size.

This is not correct from my understanding of other peoples mods I have studied on the workshop. For example: Explosive Arrow. It works and has the SAME file structure that I have for my arrow mod. I have attempted to get this thing accomplished dozens of times now dozens of different ways, and it all ends with the same thing, nothing working correctly in game but works fine in editor. And this goes for ANY item that is NEW that I add in. It doesn’t matter if it is the worlds most simplistic mod for Ark or the most complicated, either way it refuses to work. Why is it I have the literal same file structure as him for my mod, but yet it won’t work and his does?

Blah. I’m about ready to say screw this. I’ve spent more time troubleshooting this than I have with pretty much anything ever, and nothing will work for me. Whats the point in me trying to make content for the game when it just plain and simple doesn’t work? I know it’s not me at this point clearly cause Norab is experiencing it as well. Wish we could get this resolved before I get burned out on the literal days of troubleshooting I have spent into just trying to get a single mod out.

PS: I’m also kind of put off at this point cause 2 of my mod idea’s have already been released at this point by people a day ago (I had completed these projects before the updated Dev Kit was even released…and yet here I am still friggen troubleshooting my *** off, unable to come up with a solution, while others aren’t experiencing this issue at all for the most part and getting to mod to their hearts content). Also I’ve spent 95% of my time in the Dev Kit troubleshooting, debugging with a Dev, or cooking/uploading only to have it be screwed up by the uploader a billion times or to have it just not work, so I’m a bit bitter at this point. I’m not hating at all, just very down at the moment due to not being able to get past this roadblock (I HATE HATE HATE not being able to resolve issues that crush Creative Workflow, its probably the biggest buzz kill ever when it comes to content creation).
