MAINTENANCE COMPLETE! At 2:30pm Eastern on December 10th we will be taking down some of our PC PvE Extinction servers for maintenance. We expect maintenance to last for approximately 1 hour. During this time the servers will not be running therefore time will not progress. Once the servers are back online, they will require re-adding to your favorites list as they will have new IP addresses. Below is a list of all affected servers.

The Nintendo Switch and Mobile have now been added as platforms in the "Tribes" section.

The reason I took the "Members Online" section away from the bottom of the forum is because it takes thousands of requests to display that data and I'd much rather have a faster and more stable forum than just seeing who was online.

We are actively here every day, just working away in the background

It's possible that the version gap could be causing issues for you. Might want to hold off until the devkit update makes its way to the epic launcher and then confirm if the issue continues to be a problem.
Generally though making children of blueprints is the safer way to do things.

All gameplay footage for this trailer and screenshots below were captured using the Nintendo Switch.

I would encourage you to edit the arenas to make them a bit unique though

Potentially. If you know the assets are in the game you generally don't have to copy them over, but if you aren't sure then you should probably use copies in your mod folder to be safe.
As for the deprecate flag if you go into the defaults of your primalitem and search "Deprecate" you should get one or tool boolean parameters make sure they are not set to true.
You can also compare your mod files that are downloaded. if you go into the directory that gets downloaded from steam you can check for yourself to see what files were uploaded. If something is missing then you have a potential starting place to find out what is going wrong.

All three of those are okay to do. The only thing that isn't allowed is re-releasing the paid DLC maps as free mods.

This is possible, though it would be a considerable amount of work for an external management tool, but definitely possible via use of the HTTP nodes that available in the devkit.

Just a few things off the top of my head:
1) make sure your engram is set to a level higher than 0 and requires at least 1 engram point to learn. (I've seen oddities like this with anything less) and that there is a crafting cost to them (1 wood or thatch is what I usually do for testing)
2) Make sure not of your engram items have any of the "deprecate" flags enabled.
3) Make sure any assets referenced are actually in your mod folder. not all of the assets in the devkit are actually packaged in the base game.
If all else fails you can try replicating what I do in my tutorials, having a visual example might help spot anything that was maybe forgotten. Episode 3 is where I actually create a first mod that includes the stuff you are working with now: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2o1TY9xh_JsmbgQfSCydfT-7OSdvxsVR

We're going to zoom through the rough process of converting our tamed creatures into items this time. Specifically, we're making the sentry crystals that will eventually be used with the sentry towers themselves. We'll cover a few things in this video from conditional checks and most notably a brief look at Octree searching.

Explore The Island in a different light. Power fluctuations, loss of gravity and oxygen. The dangers of the island get turned on their head in this interesting twist on the original map.

It will be probably a few weeks before the devkit update is ready.
I am going to try and get it released as soon as I can, but I cannot give an accurate ETA at this time.

It's time to start getting something together that we can actually see. I have created some simple temporary meshes so let's get these multi-piece structures actually in the world and snapping!
Primarily we will find the progression of these videos on the develop branch of the gitlab repository.
