### Building & Automation
**Super Structures** `1999447172`
Fork of S+ from 2019 with a cleaner codebase and fewer bugs. Adds snapping, auto-doors/gates, item collectors, auto-crafter, silent structures, fuel-free torches. The recommended choice over the original S+.
Fork of S+ with a cleaner codebase and fewer bugs. Adds snapping, auto-doors/gates, silent structures, and fuel-free torches. Also includes a built-in automation suite — **this replaces the need for a dedicated automation mod:**
- **SS Item Collector** — periodically sweeps nearby containers and dinos for specified items (eggs, feces, resources) and deposits them
- **SS Item Aggregator** — combines Hatchery, Gardener, Collector, and Farmer roles; less server-intensive than the old per-role structures
- **SS Auto-Crafter** — automates crafting queues with materials pulled from nearby storage
- **Resource pull** — integrated into the inventory UI; works on any container
**Structures Plus (S+)** `731604991`
The original building overhaul that S+ forked from. Avoid using both simultaneously. Listed here for reference — Super Structures is preferred.
> Dedicated "automation mods" (Automated Ark, AA3) are both effectively abandoned and broken post-Aquatica. Super Structures' built-in tools cover the same ground and are actively maintained.

**Awesome Spyglass!** `1404697612`
Replaces the vanilla spyglass. Points at dinos to see HP, torpor, level, and stats. Works on players, structures, eggs, and supply drops too. Essential for evaluating tame candidates.
**Awesome Teleporters!** `889745138`
Places teleporter pads around the map for fast travel between bases and farming spots. Includes a personal teleporter remote that doubles as an item recovery tool on death.

**Auto Engrams!** `1428596566`
Automatically unlocks all available engrams as you level up. Eliminates the tedious engram point management that clutters early-game progression on private servers.
**Lethals Reusables** `1967741708`
Makes parachutes, grappling hooks, and tools reusable. Removes durability from hazmat suits and scuba gear. Significantly reduces the grind around utility items.
