i got 0 dinos
then do races
Hello survivors, anyone willing to do a favor for me (I have trauma with forms) fill out form for NA-PVE-Official-TheCenter60 being offline for several days, I want the server back on so I can play during this rare event.
PC, official, non legacy.
Do you spawn with your skins on official servers
can fed tek be upgraded with upgrade station?
what event?
it doesn't help that wild fjordhawks keep picking up my body bags and I have no idea where they are. I never knew that was a thing
idk the name but it is 3x with pretty colors I wanna tame.
3x breeding is rare, laast time I knew of a 3x was felt like months ago.
Pax event
why does everyone "dislike" scorched earth
Bc they dislike the amount of stuff it changes your gameplay
Ah ok thx, I thought it was possibly labor day.
Increased spoil timer, increased hunger, electricity goes offline, many other things I just nope out of.
but it gives the game an hardcore twist
because they are scared of the heat
scorched earth is in my top 3
Any advice on getting lighting wyvern eggs, I got a high level pteradon but apparently flyers aren't allowed in asgard
and I hate hardcore. I come to play and have fun, not make myself wanna get upset.
nah, electrical doesn't go offline, just pods and shit stop working during a elec storm
I prefer easy. Heck if I could just play an official with no hostiles I would be in my gaming heaven.
Rock drake? Sometign that can climb walls and run fast, maybe a deinonychus no fall damage? I dont play Fjord myself too upsetting.
difficulty, though for the most part i feel like half of the people who dislike scorched have never actually played it and just go with the flow
its such a good map tho
I played it, for months.
bruh my main shadowmane with my best gear just went invisible, anyone know how to fix this?
As soon as another map came out with wyverns, I moved out
I played scorched earth. Deathworms kept destroying our base cause we absolutely chose the wrong spot lol
(I been playing since Island was the only map)
im not saying everyone hates scorched because they havent played it lol.
Aye. I'm not arguing, sorry if I get misunderstood.
How long would a rock drake egg last in an inventory of a dino, cause I would need to setup an air con system first
As long as it's in ur inventory it shud be ok for a while
Okay alright
it lasts for 7 irl days in a players inventory
though it can vary because a drake egg could hypothetically be in a nest for 7 irl days and instantly spoil once you pick it up
bring her back via the whistle menu
Thatβs because the annoying robot thing is the shop lol
how the hell is an ichthy attacking me through a two high wall ceiling, and Im in the prone position?
88 grappling hooks from a race
one second after I grabbed cooked meat from the fire, it was stolen, through my roof
Skill issue
Render I suspect, special attack AI possibly ignores walls. I've had to make my PVE base with double layered walls, a 1 wide space between my inside and outside, I am thinking of making it two wide.
can fed tek be upgraded with upgrade station?
fed tek is forever fed tek
i see
RIP
so that means you're better off combat-wise with ascendant flak if its always regular fed tek
Not really I've seen quite a few use some fed tek to get aroudn in pvp
but a full tek suit is nice to have
but you can upgrade normal tek, so once you have the resources i would go with normal tek
can we agree that fed tek looks better than normal tek
I think it looks alright, but I don't like the way both look
old tek to me just looks more chunky, fed tek looks smoother and more refined
whats fed tek
federation tek suit
Gen 2 Tek.
oh
you can put the fed suit skin onto normal tek and get the best of both worlds
just, durability still exists
You'll have to breed a male and female dino of the same type.
When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much
..
Well they will passively lay eggs. You can turn the unfert eggs into kibble, or eat them.
Kibble is food for dinos π
Eh, its food for other creatures
It's for taming with a better efficiency
how do i spoil meat faster
Right click>split all
alr
sad in console
technically it is on console :P just needs a mouse
You can split halves forever on console
there is a split one on console just spam that
I know, but on pc you can split in 3 etc, console doesnt do that
They do give yourself food for a while, so not a horrible idea. The small eggs don't weigh much.
I know, played xbox for years.
yep, two minutes after i tamed a parasaur, a 150 drone appears. killed both of us.
XD
What the fuck is amber
Mobile has its own discord. Youβre gonna wanna check that out.
mobile thing
Oh
The ARK Mobile official Discord can be found here: discord.gg/playARKmobile
ARK Mobile players will always be welcome in this discord too!
Mobile wierd
Pretty sure amber is the p2w currency btw
Cant blame them since we have gen2

mobile is the definition of p2w lol
it costs money for admin commands in singleplayer
Sounds good to me
is fighting high end leves get you more xp or hitting the target more gets you xp?
Killing it gives you xp, so the higher the level/difficulty the more xp
ah ok thank you!!
The colors will remain longer, the boost will last until next week
what day?
Idk
amber to ressurect is very costly. imo, breed again to make another dodo but this time have berries ready to feed it. (I have mobile ark too)
how many 150 drones are there?
yo can a pack of 4 deinons kill a giga?
lvl 50 giga deinons are: 3 lvl 150s and a lvl 211
This is the most difficult thing I've ever done in Ark.
no
try then π
ill stock up on some eggs, just in case π
how do i raise my level cap?
How can I place irrigation pipes on top of foundation? Whenever I try to it seems to disappear down into the foundation. π€
what map?
gen2
hover over your crystal, it should say
but ik chibi gives +5 lvls when maxed out but idk what else on gen 2
so the only way for me to get tek bow engram is to find all explorer notes?
or transfer to ab and kill rockwell aswell
alr
The only bosses that increase max level is overseer, rockwell, corrupted master controller and rockwell prime
so those, plus chibi
How do I stop ark from resetting after I restart my pc
wdym resetting
Getting rid of all of my singlplayer progress and resetting my settings
microsoft version?
Sounds like the save directory is read-only, meaning it fails to save to disk or something
Wdym
Ok
are you playing from steam or microsoft?
Steam
cuz ik the microsoft version has that happen
oh well then i agree with the other guy
it says validating then installing now updating is that normal
i think so, since by logic it has to check for missing files, then install the missing ones and update your game directory
ok thank you it has been broken for 1 day because yesterday it wouldn't install
also how does the giga bleed work? is it like thyla or something else?
glad its better now lol
oof
Anyone here did lifes labyrynth on rag? How hard is it?
just watch a yt vid
I prefer to Ask people
i'm considering building a sky high pillar and parachuting to an obelisk
trying to get there asap with a new character is proving difficult
On fjordur right? Just go to the green one lol
which spawn is easiest? I've tried all of them
The closest one to the green one, idk
The blue one requires a flyer, and the red one has all predators
If you want a nice challenge, you should try. I don't know why it's so hard for me.
Done it already lol
@azure pine yo idk if you are working, sorry to bother. Please turn 566 pc on π
how long did it take and what path?
Idk, half an hour? I just started harvesting trees, start levelling, everthing in movement speed, and just get up there
man, I'm in pain
Y?
I've been trying to get my stuff for like 2 whole entire in-game days but kept on dying to either a piranha, baronyx or a troodon
π
I also think I clicked - and got my dinosaur killed wow
Which one
Are you playing on single player
yeaaah
every spawn around the green ob requires you to go up and around cliffs. My movement speed can't dodge all the dinos.
Are you playing on single player
I just joined a server
Then you should probably be able to transfer out by using a drop
Wait how do I change this
I'm trying to download some stuff, and I haven't seen any drops near me.
Well just spawn at the easiest zone and try to look for a drop
i've been doing this for 3 hours. no drops yet
Well I don't know
How do I change the save directory to not read only
I think it can only be done as administrator, and i think its very hard to accomplish if its saved to C:/Program Files
You should google it, I don't quite remember.
Ok
What is a goal i should tame on gen2
shadowmane maybe?
Yes and get pregnant to have a reaper r
If I die in asgard can I teleport to my bed in midland?
Oh ye ofc r-reapers, there was a place i could lure them in right, to make them low enough?
With the toxic cloudin in the bowels of rockwell
Yep
Ah alright thats saves alot of time
@silent matrix
Ye i saw it
do light pets count as dino for rockwell?
Its a dino, sooo i think so
Until next week
guys, is there any possible way to make a boss target me while he get stuck and my rexes kill him?
so he doesnt damage them and only aggro me then he get stuck
What is the hardest boss in ur opinion
.....
if prep counts. rockwell prime :P those missions are a nightmare
True
.
soo ark ultimate edition switch is coming out on October 25?
I heard 24th but yes.
timezones I guess :P
yay!!!!!!!!!
pretty sure they'll switch targets. no way to force them to only attack you 
Does anyone know exactly how to change save directory to not read only
yall should make a new discussion of switch players
don't need to. if you're backing up, just copy out. if you are changing ini, it shouldn't be on read only (neither should the saves)
Then what is causing my game to reset after restarting/turning off my pc
Getting rid of my singlplayer progress and resetting the settings
try stopping steam sync
might be causing issues
Will stopping it cause any other issues
not that i know of. steam doesn't sync ark saves at all. just might be causing issues :P trying to do something
can stop it for just ark as well
yeah that. maybe it'll save now π€·
if ark is saving properly, there isn't a reason it should wipe upon restarting the machine
Ok
What is the best spot to look for shadowmanes? Gen2
whats the strategy to beat dragon with rexes?
im getting a failed to join unknown error on all servers... is it just me?
Get wyvern milk if u can, 1 for each rex at least, feeding them gives them immunity to fire breath dot, but it only last 3min
When X3 ending?
That didn't do anything π’
Does anyone know how to stop ark from resetting after I restart/turn off my pc
They have a few spawn locations but I preferred the one by the bridge to the far north. There's a nice flat area just above the water/cave opening where you can tame.
I'll take a look, thanks
are argies suppose to be able to pickup wild dinos?
they can but some PvE servers (like officials) its disabled.
Would I have to enable it if I'm on singleplayer (Host/Local)
not sure if it starts enabled or disabled
if you click advanced in the settings, its in the first checkbox group
Allow Flyer Carry PVE?
yeah, should always be allowed for PvP
kk, thanks!
Will manually saving do anything
I just did alpha overseer but only got 1 hairstyle and 1 beard.
I started a scorched earth game, as usual I walk a little, almost die then a titanosaur spawns out of nowhere
You gotta love ark π
like, I literally just started
didn't know they could just spawn instantly like that
Well did you punch it?
hell nah
They often randomly mid air spawn for some reason when you walk in reder distance of a titanosaurs spawn. Im guessing the reason is due to how massive they are the game might spawn them in the mesh so they just put the spawn up in the air on scorched
Do you know somewhat the coords?
Check the wiki
double trouble
Lmao
One is pretty normal, 2 is a damn rare occurrence
Prepare for trouble and make it double
I know, the spawn map, but some locations are easier to find. Because they are flat/less other creatures
to protect the world from devastation
Ah
And unite the people within our nation
to denounce the evils of truth and love
Whats the easiest boss?
Bruh basilisks are amazing for knocking out stuff
megapithecus
Manticore
tell me which man said it wasnt
i just wanna talk to him
Does beyla count
Mini boss
some one knows a discord server where people pay ingame stuff for ingame tek?
What?
probably pay, not play
yep sorry pay π
I just wanna talk to him
loads shotgun
What is the best location to spot a shadowmane on gen2?
Are Theris good for Broodmother?
Yeah, they'll do fine. Not the best you can have obviously, but they are good against almost any boss
when the pax event end?
Am i doing something wrong? The shadowmane keeps waking up when i approach it (yes i have full ghille armor)
u dont need ghillie, just approach from behind and avoid their face
Excactly what i am doing, but still wakes up everytime i get close
u have to be faster, they only sleep like 20sec
Fuck, i had it right, but my voidwyrm decided to disobey me and fly away
Can you play with friends on a single player world
Actually that kinda sounds dumb
But imma ask anyway
Yes, if you host it as nondedicated
Does anybody know how to get off a "stuck" saddle on a dino?
Saddle is not removeable with drag and drop, not with any other button, and not with right klick feature.
Its not a platform saddle btw
Sorry for the late reply. I set up a taming area on flat ground at 25/33, which is up a small slope leading from the bridge entrance
Doesnt matter, i found a good one lol
Haha mb
You're good
What I did was create a compound to keep other dinos from wandering in and distrupting the taming, and then some box/ramp traps inside the compound.
A little overkill, but this was after getting tired of a bad luck streak
If you're still having trouble, maybe describe the trap and their position inside it
the 12th
any one want to make a new ark world with me?
I dont have a trap, i have a problem with it keep waking up when i approach. Basically it just wakes up, even when i am not that close
how mucher longer the event
Yeah, they can be frustrating tames for sure
I know there was advice above about ghillie not being necessary, but fwiw I wore it and applied bug spray (in addition to using a trap to prevent wandering)
Also you must be crouching (not lying down tho) while approaching
I am lol
Is there a way I can turn on and off my light pet without throwing it and manually turning it on
Did you try holding R?
It just says access inventory
Hm
I dont see any emote
At what time will the shadowmane stop falling asleep?
when u hear the night beginning music
I got my sound off lol
You're right, I'm not seeing it either, now. Maybe it changed at some point? Hmm
Do i now wait until it becomes visible again? Although, it is 5pm now. What should i do?
So what should I do
How do I change tribe dino ownership settings? I cant find any tribe settings..
For some reason, it is toggled via the "Clap" emote now, heh
Thats quite funny
its to late to feed them, wait a night
Tribe Manager > Governance > Creature Ownership
I had to find it out the hard way, they loose all taming
Every percentage is gone lol
Oh well that works I guess
I'm gonna tame a reaper
Any tips?
Or get fucked by a reaper
I'm on single player will I give birth sooner?
Or setting doesn't change
That's the idea (btw SFW language is preferred here)
General idea I think is to lower the queen's health and then let her do her thing to you. No idea about relevant settings though
A mod said I can swear as long as it's not targeted at anyone
I guess, but I mentioned it because I saw another mod caution someone the other day for the same language
How many andrewsaurus are there on fjordur map?
Lots
Midgard Highlands, Midgard mainland SE (near a giga spawn location), and Asgard
Iirc
I found one by mistake and it almost killed my entire dino collection i wondered what it was and though cool shoot it with tame arrows then realised i dont tame it like that XD
Had to kill the thing
Thank you. However, my tribesmate (admin) can still not access [Behavior] of dinos π¦ Server restart fixed it
is it normal for a campfire to spontaneously explode??
how many aircons is used to hatch a wyvern egg
I tamed a baryonyx, which creature should I go for next? basilo? mosa?
Should I transfer to Aberration or wait for Fjordur to open up to make my main server
Basilo
basilo. mosa is near useless
depends on ambient temp, wyvern eggs need 85c temp so like a lot.
what about the tuso, or are they hard to tame?
Yeah basilos are amazing
tuso is amazing, imo better than basilo but comparatively harder to tame
will 13 work?
depends on the ambient temp. just place them down and see
idk depends on ambient temp
alright
most likely will
but if you are on fjordur it might be more as thats a cold map
for all we know it could the perfect time during scorched and you wont need any aircons
Do you pronounce Wyverns Wi-vern or Y-vern
wo-vern
Y vern
wyvern is the superior map. wivern is stupid
Wivern inferiority
Is there a way to let yourself always pick up structures in a singleplayer save?
yeah
how lmao
i forgor, its something like allowstructurepickup=true in game.ini
i know its possible
AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=true in gameusersettings under [serversettings] I think.
dragon
Ah, okay- I've never messed with the ini before, how do you get to it/change it?
Tek Wyvern
guide in the pins in #bobs-with-probs
ah tyty
do crossbows work under water?
should
is there a way to search in the ini? I can't find this setting lol
Or turn off light
Ctrl f
Under server settings
will need to add it.
most aren't in the file as that would make the file Huge
Ah okay
I'm just very scared of breaking it lmao
You just write that underneath the server settings part?
yeah, make sure there are no empty lines between the header and its settings.
even if its spelled wrong nothing will break. just won't do anything :P
Okay! :) And it automatically saves if you just X out of it?
Can I find rock drake eggs in midgard or is that only in asgard
only asgard
AYY it did! Tysm Pumpkin <3 <3 I owe ya one
Thanks
guys if i pair 2 yellow rexes is there a chance a new mutation will come ? or will they always be yellow then
there is a chance
ok thanks!
so if i had a baby that is at 38% raised how long will it be done
Mutations don't care about the parent's color, mutation only cares if you have less than 20 mutations on one or the other side
so it HAVE to be less then 20 mutation on one side?
that's easy to do though
idk if this counts or something but can someone help me? like when i load the game and join single player and waiting for it to load it crashes every time i do it i watched YouTube videos and none of them worked does anyone know how to fix this? if im in the right channel or something
The easieste thing to do is to keep the mother at 0 mutations and let the dads be the only one that mutates
make your female breeders have zero mutations, and only breed with males
keep base males and females
use the base males if a mutation goes on a female
ok so tame a new one ??
A male with 3 mutations will only add those three mutations to the male side of the family tree
yoooooo wsg
yep, no matter which side the mutation originates from
If you're serious about breeding, you generally want to get all your best stats on both a male and female first
If you're just breeding for colors do whatever
well i wanna have my dino stats at new colors
so i need to tame new one and mate them right?
and hope for stats without color mutation?
mutations always come with both a stat change and a colour change
Generally, when you're trying to consolidate the stats you want to keep everything clean just for the sake of convienience
What would be the best dino to steal rock drake eggs on asgard, or should I just try and run it with a fjord hawk
If you want the best gasbag possible, you'll want to breed until you get that 40 hp, 40 weight, 40 o2 into a female and a male, ideally with the same levels so you can easily see when a mutation pops
Once you've got that all set up, you set up a male with as many females as you feel comfortable rolling the dice with, and start hoping for mutations
desmodus if you hate fun
Something that can outfight or outrun the rock drake horde
Who tf wants gas bags
me
who doesn't want gasbags? wumps are best bois
For what
weight, cuteness, floatiness
No they look hideous
I can't see any possible use for a massively jumping pseudoflyer who can carry tens of thousands of pounds of stuff easily
Metalπ
and/or is an incredibly good tank
really?!
I have a high level rex I would use but I'm unsure if it can survive the radiation
fjordur in general, aberration has a lot as well
ok but lets say i have x rex with 254 points on melee i cant change the color anymore there right? as they have to many mutations?
ext has a whole biome made of scrap metal
Oh does asgard have radiation?
Get an aberrant spino, then
you just get mutations in other stats
Or mushroom brews
radiation on dinos is fucked on fjordur according to desolate
doesn't apply
But is there like a good area on the island thathas a lot of metal? preferably close to spawn, im a bit newer and just crafted a refining forge
oh ok but how people make then perfect stats with just 1 color?
mountains generally
colour can be inherited independently from stats
i.e. mutate a low level for colour, then breed with a parent that has all important stats until you get one with all good stats and all colours you want
ahhh got its ! thanks guys btw you are awesome!
ππ
Problem is I don't have the aberration dlc
they exist on free maps
are spinosaurs hostile? there's one basically guarding access to one of the islands
Yea
Yea very
valguero, ci, and fjordur all have them
i guess i just gotta go through the water and pray i dont get mauled by piranhas
Damn, guess I'm another new quest now
@silent matrixits possible to have ALL the diffrent colors on every body part of any dino right?
so like lets say shadowmane i could make all the diffrent colors ?
There's six color regions, but not all dinosaurs use all six
yeah
And if they use less than six there's no consistency in which ones they use
But it is possible for every color region to be mutated a different color for a hideous tie die dino baby
Of note is that it is possible for a color mutation to land on a region that dinosaur doesn't use, if the species doesn't use all six regions- This can result in a mutation that looks like it doesn't have a color
Hey guys i got problem my mana and giga are stuck in the forest cave in ext i wanna do the titan but i got killed in the cave and they are stuck rn who can help me get them back?
im so close to capping out my deino mutations with 50 melee and 67 health can only get up to 84
ye i know but they can get every color at every region right?
hi
thx!
Is it true rex saddle armour caps at like 115?~ no point in crafting my 135 saddle?
how the fuck do I stop files reverting back to read only
do you mean reverting back to read/write?
pax event end tomorrow?
No
any place on fjordur asgard i'll find a lot of fish?
so ark fed up big time just now of i had alot of pres salt and its all gone
very low spoil timer on preserving salt
i had preserving salt like alot and it lagged and its gone
ah
What time the event end in gtm
@royal crater #735196255483068497
anyone have a pve sever that has active people on it that i could join on the islandd
Will the upgrade station get added to Vanilla?
Made a base, tamed 3 things, got a food supply, got a raptor, got a friend to play with me, got to level 40
Pretty successful 3 hours
Trying to make bug repellant in the industrial cooker, how does it work? π€
put in 100x each ingredient and nothing happens
Does anyone know any good aberration servers where there is spots to build in the blue zone or just spots in general?
Cuz its made in the chem bench or mortar and pestle
Nvmd you've been helped already lol
do i need a pike to use a crossbow or can i use my arrows too, because i wanna use my tranq arrows but i donβt wanna have to carry around a bow as well
pike? no. They are independent from each other.
It consumes arrows like the bow
crossbow can use tranq arrows as well as stone arrows just like a bow :P
alright ty
If it's a competitor for a giga it seems like that kind of defeats the purpose of the giga
I doubt it, as WC seems to be a bit conservative about adding mod features to vanilla, and with ARK 2 on the horizon
it looks like it yeah. If they were gonna make it a giga competitor, then just give the giga a new model with a TLC
How do i copy paste settings?
so if my wyvern is at 50% how many days will it take to get done
no idea. half the normal time.
idk the time of it
check the wiki :P I play super boosted breeding.
takes like 2 hours or something for a wyvern
wiki may be wrong at some stuff
What do you need help with?
the time on wyverns from baby to adult at 50% growth
Rates?
1x
1 day and 22 hours
Yes
But thatβs not for another 5 days
then it may be more laggy when it opens
Oh definitely
Yes I'm pretty keen to play it but it's gonna be lag central for a while, I will wait until it calms down a bit first lol
What should my stats look like
That depends what stage of the game you're at and what you're trying to do
I donβt recommend putting points in food, water, or oxygen, other than that, whatever you want
I mean Alr Iβm just wondering bc i just want the best build ig bc I have trash builds
my food water oxygen still 100 on my character
As it should be
i have 420 weight
Like I just dump my points into weight and healthπ
Depends, pvp or pve
Movement speed is good for starting out, a bit of health and stam too. Later you'll mainly want weight, especially for PvE
For pvp
If only you could decrease something else to 69.
High movement speed is the meta for pvp
if it was 69 then i cant do much
Is there like a pic of WhT at it should look like
320 hp, 120 stam, 400 weight, rest of points into speed
Ok Ty
oxygen
i dont go in water much
hello
hello 
You should
do people ask to play with people on this server
theres nothing in water for me to do
Put every point into melee and tame gigas with your bare hands
With every point in melee, youβll die pretty quick tbh
ok
Nah. You just gotta get the first hit. Every time.
wonder how quick a melee mantis with club can knock a Giga
how do i tame a mantis?
Bug repellent, passive feed it deathworm horns preferably, or rhino horns for lower effectiveness
will rhino horns work if im on fjordur?
You can get deathworm horns on fjord
i never saw them yet
Thereβs some ash covered dead deathworms on balhmeir in the oil field
so they dead?
Yeah, just gotta harvest their body for horns
alright
I'm gonna validate my ark files then try one more time to do the fuckin Icco mission
oh what do i need to look if they ash covered
I have no idea why it keeps crashing
Probably easier to look it up on YouTube tbh, I didnβt see them until I was told exactly where they were, they blend it extremely well
So that you will get frustrated enough to buy ark2
how many deathrooms horns i need for 1 mantis
8 for a 150 on 1x
Depends on your settings. I recommend Dododex
so if i had like 19 would it be enough
Could get 2 mantises with that
Unless your taming is like .2x yeah thatβs plenty.
i might tame a mantis on 3x of evo
On 3x taming, itβs only 3 horns for a 150
what do velon spikes do?
Btw death horns can be obtained on Balhelmr by harvesting...thingies (no worm fight necessary)
Oh wait, that was pointed out already, I misunderstood
I thought people were describing a scene after a battle, lol
lmao
what do velo spikes do of idk π¦
what do you mean? the attack where it whips its tail around?
yes
Does damage
i mean the dmg is not good
not really
But itβs an option if you get surrounded I guess
i tried to use it and it didnt do much on a small dino
In pve I think it's just a fun turret option
even though its melee dmg is 229%
thatβs pretty low tbf
I've seen pvp players use them for base defense as well (no idea if they're any good against pvp raiders tho)
how high should i get it to
As high as you can get it, 150s should tame out at around 300 something percent
i caught mine at 80-90
Wouldn't that be 150 -> 224-ish?
I meant 150s tame out with around 300% melee
Oh I see. Poor reading comprehension strike #2
3 strikes and youβre out 
I blame the movie I started, it's so bad it's extra distracting
I honestly miss Velons prenerf. They used to be so op
Bruh, I joined server that gives you max level and I turned everything up, even my speed, and my speed alone crashed my game lol, it was hilarious
Hahaha.
come back of the century
lost my parasaur, trike, and some other dino to a t. rex
they were my only ones
and a portion of my house, i recovered it all, got another parasaur and that random dino, and a level 40 raptor
i know itβs not a lot
but iβm still in the beginning stages i donβt even have a gun
moral orel π±π±π±
Reminds me of a server I joined a few weeks ago (to check out the Svartalfheim alpha), and found that a setting was resulting almost instantaneous death after punching dodos.
Yes!!
How tf do you build on a cliff plat
Once the platform is placed, you can place structures on it
There are tutorials out there on various builds
I lost my level 52? dilo to a level 33 bronto that I was trying to tame with tranq arrows and every weapon I could get my hands on. I'm a new player (just a few days of gameplay) and I had no idea how much it would take to tame a bronto, but I was determined. After my dilo's death, my outdoor chests being smashed, dying more times than I could count, and taking 45+ minute breaks to pick berries to make more tranq arrows I finally got my Lucy after about 3ish hours?
Lot of lessons learned there
how many tranq arrows would you say it takes to take down a bronto
Oh man π get the app called Dododex itβll help you tame XD
thereβs one that lives super close to my base and me and my friend have been plotting against it all day
Too damn many. I probably shot her with 200+ arrows
Found out about that afterwards!
how do i check what level it is without being crushed
And my poor Dilo... I must have accidentally whistled and even though he was set to passive he died to one tail swipe
It wonβt crush you as long as you donβt upset it
π
In my game all the herbivores are passive until you attack, so if that's the case for you you can just walk right up and see the level and gender
i lost my dodos too. they were so brave, they stopped the t. rex for a bit giving me just enough time to get the high ground
it was really them that took down that rex
While I was away something killed two of my dodos. They were all level 60s
You can check logs to see
Oooooh I think I'll do that
is there a way to die to a otter?
Not sure what in the area would have killed them, because I slowly killed off the jerk birds
Dodos should live safely inside.. just not in the same area you craft etc in because they are noisy

Jerk is a generous name for them
rare flower probably makes them attack you
but i dont wanna hurt the cute otters
keep them in a thatch hut, a ways away from your base :P
cuz they cute

wat
All you have to do is tame 1m then youβll die trying to keep them fed π
Do they eat a lot?
Yes and starve fast
I even level their food
Most people donβt and if you donβt they eat every 3 days

they also only eat fish, part of the reason they eat so much :P
All the fish in my area have been eaten by the jerk birds
None of them have respawned
I've never given an otter fish Lol. I just have fish in my feeding trough and they end up eating before starving π
all due to luck tbh
I always forget they don't eat meat
My thing is getting caught up in death loops. One was so long my body wound up decaying and I lost everything including the items on my para and my little dimophidon π¦
Lost the para, then lost my sarco, and then my iguanadon - then did a lot of naked runs to retrieve items and just... none of that worked LOL
My dimorphodon and iguanadon were set to passive, but I couldn't locate them at all, so they either died, or they're still out there and maybe one day I'll come across them
i feel bad for u cmy
hey, i just tamed a 217 argent with 0 points into speed when plugged into ark smart breeding directly from game files, 48 points into weight, 46 into damage
ur multiplayer for wild dinos may be higher then 1x for that
can someone verify it isnt a bug with ark smart breeding, if not those odds are slim to none
ive been playing on this server for a few weeks, every other dino has entered as vanilla, and matched stats
You can call me Kay!
I also just now lost another para because I forgot to tell him to stay and he got murdered by piranhas π
There's a sarco near by so I'm going to try to tame it
i may have killed to many piranhas
I got lucky and another para was here, so I knocked him out
sadly i don tuse paras
A dilo just killed him while he was out π
Flyers will not have any points allocated to speed
What free vpn goes to india? Im trying to check the price for expansion
The only thing I can think of is that the xiphs are crashing the game for some reason, but specifically only in the last stretch of the escort. Again, for some reason
This is despite the fact I've used xiphs fine as extra muscles in hunts constantly
that's against tos, you can check regional prices on steamdb
Anyone know for sure if 3x ends tomorrow or if it will be going on through next weekend?
its ends tomorrow im sure
they might aswell have it running through the week eh
saves a job to stop and start it again :p
How long will 1800βfood last on a drake raising?
How many mature % do you have
grab a stop watch and do basic maths :p
u only have to time how much 1 food drops then times it by how much food is left π
as they grow up they eat less so u will always have more time
What should I do on my fjordur I'm bored as f
Magmasaur, shadowmane, desmodus, taming in general.
Rock drake plus magmasaur egg=magmasaur
?
I have a rock drake that cleared the lightning scar on its own, no healing breaks
So?
What is your point?
The bastard is over powered, that's what
And he could run the magmasaur cave
It could
But then I have to imprint the magmasaur
Ye
I can't be arsed
Okay?
Why are you asking me to do something then 
I am not
I am just thiiiiinking ouuuuut louuad
what's the easiest way to tame a raptor? should i use the bola + club method? I'm still pretty early game
single player
i like using the console commands for simple things like increasing gamma
You can cryo it lol
Single
It takes too long for my mental health not to decline
How many ac to hatch a rock drake egg?
bruh argy dies with like 8 tranqs πΏ
Why you still using acs? Use a incubator
Maybe not have gen 2 or be high enough level yet
Just make a lot, i use at least 25
20
Incubators are fucking expensive man π
No if you really want you just do it anyway its the best for incubating eggs
The colors last until September 12th
Oh i still have time. Thanks alot
np
Eggs are a copy of a Dino that spawns near the nest areas. So anything that affects the Dinoβs around the nest could affect the eggs.
is it possible to transfer the data of our survivor in a mp world to our sp world in fjordur?
Oh nice info... Im trying go get drake eggs without hmzat suit with desmodus, will i survive if i steal n run? Sorry im newbie here
Some of them you can.
Maybe. I recommend making sure your tame will be able to fly with added weight, and you bring health brews. Not sure if the drake cave has radiation but with a Desmodeus your only real threat will be the rad damage.
rad damage on Fjordur is glitched, doesnβt do any damage to tames for some reason
Heβs going in without hazmat
oh I missed that
Maybe i use suicide way with fjorhawk for quick run lol
Yep , the drake cave have radiations
Unofficial servers?
Yeah but the server manager has to have the setting enabled.
I see....
guys, what it's araneo?
Spider
I just found a cave with some spider level 300
Cave creatures can get to much higher levels than normal creatures, keep in mind they arenβt tameable
who knows when this 3x ends?
Use gen2 suit, fill up by jumping from green zone (mushroom forest spawn) into red (fill a few suits) then go for the drakes
Gen2 suit?
Parachute to help with the jump if you never did it before but it's not needed
Federation Tek armor
Wellz im newbie here, not a single boss killed yet
Hey y'all new Ark gamer here just got the game last week when a friend bought it for me., question; do I have to play on an Ark official server with other players to get Mjolnir or can I just do it in single player? I don't really like the idea of playing with other people and having my base raided. lol
Ah u need the engram then
U can use a glider to get down then a hawk to get out easy
Already have lvl.256 desmos with 5k hp, maybe it enoought
You can play on PvE servers so no raiding or killing, but you can do it on single player if you really wanted to be I wouldn't recommend it for a bunch of reasons, also the hammer is a very long grind to get so make sure ur prepared mentally for everything haha unless u cheat/mod it
I've played world of warcraft for the last 10+ years (still play) and I am use to the long grinds. haha
Flyer are disable on ab, also as I remember hawks are too so I think desmo will be
Haha nice, I'd recommend on official PvE if ur doing something crazy tho cuz some content just can't really solo especially gen1 missions others are possible solo but definitely not practical also not really a point in getting that far in the game for noone else to see it :p
Pvp servers are the only ones you can be raided and killed, tho there are some ways to grief on PvE too but in general it's fine
All right ty. I will try to look for a pve official server starting with the very first map. haha
If you want the full game experience then start on the island, if you want min max is a different story
I like to get the full game experience, I'm already about 100 hours in to the game on the Island solo player, but I think for the grind of Mjolnir it might be better to do it on a server with other folks.
"the island" not "lost island" btw I saw some mixing the 2
Ah then story experience would be start on island then go to scorched etc.
They'll be adding some new cutscenes and stuff soon too
All right, ty
One more question though, once I am done with the island is there a way to keep my character and all of its belongings and levels to a new map?
Go to the obelisk and transfer. Are you SP?
On servers use drops\oblisk to transfer on sp just logout and into new map then use download survivor
okay ty
If youβre SP itβs you may want to upload all your belongings into the Ark Data tab first. And then youβll need to select the upload character button.
Idk how to do that haha. I'll look it up ty.
Itβs easy. One of the options will cause you to drop your inventory in a loot bag after you accept it. I canβt remember which one.
Go to drop/ob, go data tab then drag, double click ur item
It's basically an online storage kinda thing
I am a long ways off of doing any of that tbh. I haven't even killed a boss yet. I've spent 90% of my time in Ark building and taming lots of random af dinos.
Sounds like itβs time to look into breeding
Haha yeah from my experience everyone takes ages to the the first then after that it's a boss rush XP
Thatβs because you only need one or 2 different kinds of Dinoβs to kill every boss lol
I am already breeding, I have been trying to get some mutations with no luck. Atm I'm killing dinos that arent mutated while also building up an army of Rex and Spinos.
Mutations can be a grindfest. Donβt listen to people who say you need 100+ in any given stat. Iβve beat all alpha bosses with less than 20 mutations. Saddles are far more important.
For sure
Also deino is important haha
will a mutation always pass on the colour?
if so, ARGH
have a dmg mutation but darn it's ugly
Not if one of the parents doesnβt have it.
If both parents have the color the only way to get rid of it is to breed it out or hope for another mutation color in the region.
so it can pass on the stats without the colour though?
Absolutely
ah brill, tyvm
when does Pax party end
I have another question for you @wet orbit if you're still around.
Yeah I am feel free to ping anytime, just depends on when I reply haha, what's up?
Is there a way to get the engrams from other maps to use on my play through of each map?
Like having a chainsaw on The Island would be great but I guess it's only obtainable on Scorched Earth
If you learn on another map it stays unless you mindwipe
Gen maps and fjordur you can learn Everything
ah okay ty.
Np np
me and my freind are about to do a 2 people pvp local server- but we get to take 3 creatures from fjordur to valguero where we're playing
whats the 3 best creatures in fjordur
preferably not being able to find on val
is multiple of the same creature allowed
Desmo, owl, maewing
thats really smart... can i take out maewing
Iβm just giving my suggestions, you do what you want with it
or do you mean you want me to choose something other than maewing
shadowmane
done.

thank you for ur assistance 
np
i will now prepare to destroy meh freind 
good luck
Hi
hello
hi
Youβre definitely gonna want a pair of shadowmanes.
is blood stalker on any other maps than genisis
i want to tame one to use on ab but i dont have gen 1 or 2
Theyβre on Gen 2 as well.
nope
sad
Possibly Fjordur but I havenβt played it enough to verify
i might check
Thatβs a no go on Fjordur
Fjordur does have shadowmane though.
Thatβs a good alternative
i want a climber that is easy to tame or a glider im think of maeiwng
how easy are enforcer to tame?
they can climb
i think
can they only climb up? or can they climb on the sides
also i heard that andrewssachus are immune to radiation is that true?
well u can make a enforcer
No, itβs just that the radiation on Fjordur is bugged, it doesnβt affect any tame
so theres no radtion
There is radiation it just doesnβt affect tames, your character does still take damage and need a haz suit
right
so tames can go down there
so i could bring a rex or something down to the rock drake nest
Correct
Shadowmane my ass, smaller than a stego but cant be picked up by anything
what
Why cant it be picked up by anything, it looks small enough
Can be carried by a quetz lol
Damn it, missed it
If you have Gen2 just get a tek suit and jump back to fjodur@quick coral
It protect you from radiation and never need to repair
dont have gen 2
Oh ok
Be happy, its p2w

do maewings work in the ab cave on fjdodur
Well we spend money so at least we have something right
Yes, its not a flyer

Rock drake babys? Ye
is there anyway to expand how far i can build on a raft?
good good
because i was building a boat base
cellings
Thereβs a guy named doomed in building discussion that can help you. You should check out his work itβs pretty damn impressive
alright
Why are people obsessed with cramped spaces on ark
thanks
PvP?
I see youtubers saying "I love it because it takes every inch of space and it's super cramped π€"
Yes
Thatβs the meta. Ratholes are easier to defend and harder to find.
yeah
Makes sense π
I imagine every obsessed meta player with like an army of shadowmanes and a rathole.
lol
My cousin was obsessed with the meta. Meta this, Meta that, have you ever met a fucking girl before?
worse part is, he has a girlfriend (ARK meta player with a romantic relationship comfirmed)
But to be fair, Am I the only one who preffers Rock Drakes over Shadowmanes?
for what purpose
general
Shadowmanes for life son
Rock drakes can definitely get around the map faster
Maybe I would preffer Shadowmanes over Rock drakes
Undisputed champions of the Ark
i do drakes are my favorite creature
If it wasn't because of the Lion King.
x2 besides the Deinonychus, Dodo, and Spino
do andrew metal saddles make you immune to radtion?
Yes
great
I think the only thing that makes Rock Drakes > Shadowmane's for me is the tek saddle
could a andrew kill a drake
No
That mama about to murder all the wild drakes
maybe
could it out run a drake
Pump itβs health and mini gun them to death
Isnβt that how Andrews work?
With its super speed, probably
Tell that to my 100k health Drake

wild
This mans just looking for eggs
Oh
He ainβt goin to war lol
Then yeah
Heβs gonna look like it though
But tbf.
mostly
Use. A. Fucking. Desmodus.
you get the saddle at pretty much the same level
And they are easier to tame depending on your rates.
im on official pvp
Pffft. Half the fun for the same rewards
Ye
excellent
throw honey, ride like a bull, jump off before the bar on the bottom gets full
.
Last part explains a little TOO much
you didnβt know that
I thought it was like the equus :painfulsob:
Lol
No more nitro π
Idk if I just have insane luck but every Equus I've ever had has lived all the way to the end game
Like always, I've even used them to tame Rexes
Like no joke I tamed a 150 rex a few days ago with my Equus
Equus underrated
Before I deleted the world because I got bored
no youβre wacc
Mosa turning radius is good
So is wyvern's idk what you're talking about
True but equus kinda poo poo
The shit turning radius is the Sarco
I'm no joke able to bonk the shit out of it and force it to be my friend
No 
Stfu π§’
Sacro spawn is swamp and they aren't the reason why swamp dangerous
It's the kapros
