ark-survival-ascended

[jaunty nova]

Ohhhh I didn’t know that existed mb

[sharp stream]

secondary or main attack?

[winged hamlet]

there are things better at gathering keratin

[sharp stream]

Cant find anything better

[winged hamlet]

theriz are mostly for wood/thatch/berries

[sharp stream]

theriz are also good for giving new players PTSD

[jaunty nova]

I think hatchet could work for chitin

[winged hamlet]

depending on which map there are better sources

[jaunty nova]

Like what?

[winged hamlet]

depends on the map

[sharp stream]

bronto or trike for gathering berries?

[jaunty nova]

How about lost island

[jaunty nova]

According to dodex its bronto

[sharp stream]

I guess the only downside is that they're harder/take longer to tame

[jaunty nova]

Yep

And very slow but thats the case with msot herbavores

Also how do u make your rg pick up small creatures like otters and such

In there peak

[winged hamlet]

trike is generally better since it can move faster

bronto is slow af

[slate widget]

stego gets weight reduction not sure how helpful that is on berries but it does have it.

[winged hamlet]

i always end up growing my berries in a greenhouse so i've never really needed to gather a ton of them

[slate widget]

I play boosted so don't need to worry about what I use

last I played was fjordur and maewings can harvest in the swamp so I'd just do it there lol

[sharp stream]

What are kentros good for though

[winged hamlet]

defense

[slate widget]

they do reflect don't they?

[sharp stream]

so its like a mini stego?

[winged hamlet]

basically

they reflect a set % of the damage they take back to the attacker

only melee hits

[sharp stream]

its half the size of a stego and can still kill one 💀

[jaunty nova]

But bigger radios

[slate widget]

ain't that the one that can kill some of the OP modded dinos lol

[jaunty nova]

Radius*

[winged hamlet]

still slow af

[sharp stream]

it can harvest more at a time

[jaunty nova]

Also probably higher weight

Like 2000

Or 700

Depends on lvl i think

[winged hamlet]

i prefer the trike

[jaunty nova]

Understandable

I just still use a parasaur

[slate widget]

base 1600, +32 per wild level. plus 4% per tamed level.

[winged hamlet]

love the parasaur early game

[sharp stream]

I got like 14-15k of each berry and about 4k mejoberries after like 4-6 mins

[jaunty nova]

I have been contiplating with myself either to get a bronto or not 💀

[sharp stream]

with a bronto

[jaunty nova]

Ohhh thats alot

[tough yarrow]

Brontos are great for mass clearing

[jaunty nova]

Yep

Should i make my breading area above the hole i live in orr in a random small ahh cave

(First time breeding idk how much space i need)

[vagrant flare]

Gigantopitecus

[winged hamlet]

is it online or sp?

[slate widget]

if they live in a hole, I'm pretty sure its PVP

[jaunty nova]

Sp

[slate widget]

why do you live in a hole in SP 😂

[winged hamlet]

then you don't need much space at all

[jaunty nova]

Nah its just a giant hole I found

[slate widget]

island?

[jaunty nova]

I liked it and made it my base

[winged hamlet]

the breeding range in sp is nerfed HARD

[jaunty nova]

Lost island

[sharp stream]

paras are good very early game (level 9) since they can protect you by scaring away dilos, detecting enemies, and decent berry collecting.

[tough yarrow]

And they've got a decent weight

[winged hamlet]

like the dinos practically have to be touching to be in breeding range on sp it's so dumb

[slate widget]

didn't play that map much. but yeah SP doesn't need as much space because of the reduced range.

[jaunty nova]

I havent seen that problem so far

[winged hamlet]

idk who made that decision but they need to get a kick in the pants for that

[jaunty nova]

BAHAHAHA

Also why the heck is breading timer 3 hours or smth 💀

[slate widget]

its not really touching but its like a % different. I think its like 30% or something.

[jaunty nova]

That’s annoying

Literally why

[winged hamlet]

for some dinos it's more noticeable than others

[jaunty nova]

Also what the heck is the turtle used for 😭

[jaunty nova]

Well im using rexes

[winged hamlet]

early game swimming

and defense

turtles are also good sources of keratin

[jaunty nova]

Icthy could be better

[jaunty nova]

But they dont do good dmg tho

[winged hamlet]

but ichthy are stuck in water

[jaunty nova]

Tru

[winged hamlet]

turtles are more tanky

[jaunty nova]

Really?

[winged hamlet]

they have some damage reduction and a good bit of hp for early game dinos

[jaunty nova]

That’s actually surprising

Good to know

Still wont tame one ngl

[winged hamlet]

they're also good for taming squids

[jaunty nova]

Squids??

I have been wanting to tame one

For the longest time but still dont know how

And couldn’t find em anywhere

[winged hamlet]

squids are rare on most maps

[jaunty nova]

That’s annoying

[winged hamlet]

but to tame them they need to be grabbing onto something

[jaunty nova]

And even if i would find one tbh its gonna be low level

[winged hamlet]

then you swim up to its beak to passive feed

[jaunty nova]

Found a lvl 15 giga and lvl 25 carcha

Im still annoyed by that

[jaunty nova]

Sounds easy

[winged hamlet]

it can only be done while they're grabbing something in their tentacles

that's where the turtle comes in

it can have good hp and can take a bit of a beating, and it can swim down that deep

and unless you want to be down there feeding it all day you want to feed the squid black pearls in batches of 50

[oak hearth]

How can I reduce the ammount of crashing this game has

Im playing on ab ps4

[winged hamlet]

depends on why it's crashing

[oak hearth]

I think it is cause my megalo is quick

[winged hamlet]

on ps4 i got no clue

[jaunty nova]

So basically need a scuba tank

[winged hamlet]

also yes

[oak hearth]

It might not be givig time for stuf to load

For how fast its going

[jaunty nova]

Mine just crashes everytime i press return to menu

[winged hamlet]

what did you like max out speed?

[oak hearth]

No

It has 130% speed

But it is quite quick

In blue it tends to crash after I leave the zone on the way back home

[sharp stream]

Deinonychus are freakishly fast

[oak hearth]

Im on a megalo

[winged hamlet]

megalo are already decently fast, no need for speed imo

lot of wasted levels to get up to 130

[oak hearth]

It was imprint bonus

It has 1km and 26k hp

Ready for drake

[lucid wharf]

how do i dismount my shoulder pet?

[winged hamlet]

double tap f

[jaunty nova]

Megalosaurus or or meglaoceros

[oak hearth]

I am afraid it crashes tho cause I might spawn whit no charge in middle of blue

[winged hamlet]

it's ab so megalosaurus

[jaunty nova]

If ps double tap tirangle

[stiff dust]

I’d say bring a mate pair of megalos for the drake egg hunt

[oak hearth]

I havent had issues before

[next socket]

Are they any new news for ASA?

[winged hamlet]

they'll be in #announcements

[next socket]

Okay, thank you

[stiff dust]

Better to have dps reduction and not get nuked by a swarm of drake’s possible lol

[oak hearth]

Yup

I will try to kil them one by one

[winged hamlet]

buff up a megalo enough the number of drakes won't matter

especially with a good saddle

[jaunty nova]

Is a quetzal worth it or no

[winged hamlet]

it can be, depending on how you're playing

[oak hearth]

If on extinction yes

For desrt titan taming

[winged hamlet]

they can take a large amount of resources from one place to another

[jaunty nova]

Perfect for metal runs basically

A very big metal run

[oak hearth]

Does v sync mode increase lag ?

I have mine on adaptive

It might be that

What baffles me is the fact that it never crashes if I am jumping on karkinos

[winged hamlet]

is the ps4 in a ventilated area?

or is it dirty/dusty?

[oak hearth]

It was cleaned

And well ventilated

But it might be dusty inside

Idk gotta check

But I turned if vsync and it seems to be better

[royal thicket]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[quaint delta]

im going for fenrir sulfur today what dinos should i use to fight him rexes theris or shadowmanes

my rexes have 40k hp and 1300 melee
ny theris have 35k hp and 1100 melee
and shadows have 25k hp and 1300 hp

[austere remnant]

Best strat is 20 of the highest level Lightning Wyverns you can find

They will melt it

[lavish fox]

Does anyone know how to get more skill points through console commands?

[silent matrix]

anyone know a good place to get oil in lost island

[quick lintel]

desert has a bunch of oil veins

[silent matrix]

okay thanks

[sharp stream]

holy crap

I just found a lvl 174 spino

How many tranq arrows do I need for a level 174 spino?

[hollow maple]

Nine hunnit

[pale dagger]

Have none off y'all heard of Google? Or maybe dododex

[candid sky]

somebody should make a petition to get movement speed back lol

[half bobcat]

What does server shut down in 30 minutes means? I can’t play it anymore?

[finite orbit]

I want a petition to let Unofficial servers host seasonal events? What's the reason not to??

[finite orbit]

the server is probably being rebooted

[slate widget]

ASE steam/epic is supposed to have this but its bugged I think.
ASA will have this as the events will be available as mods to enable

[finite orbit]

I do hope they fix the bug for ASE, the events were so cool, it'd be a shame to let them die off.

[slate widget]

I think there are mods to renable them on steam but that leaves out epic.

[finite orbit]

The mods I found are only the assets, not the event other things like the graveyard mounds throughout the map, the moon art, etc.

[sharp stream]

makin up like 150 tranq arrows

since its 9.4k (94 arrows approximate) torpor and each arrow is 150 torpor

[finite orbit]

it depends on what the damage of your crossbow or bow is

[sharp stream]

primitive crossbow (100% dmg)

[finite orbit]

oh

[sharp stream]

dang It I forgot my 2nd/3rd crossbow

[finite orbit]

whats the taming speed of the server

[sharp stream]

I think its regular

or default

[finite orbit]

then you need about 125

[sharp stream]

good thing I have plenty of fish meat

so I can more easily tame it

[finite orbit]

you mean raw prime fish>

[sharp stream]

Regular meat takes 3x as long

so no, I meant raw fish

[fierce nimbus]

Is it better to breed theris or rexes to beat the island without cryopods?

[near ferry]

Like the overseer?

[finite orbit]

I would say theris

[near ferry]

Rex fs

[near ferry]

Hmmm

[finite orbit]

I guess it depends on how many muts you have and what the base stats were

[near ferry]

Ya agreed

[fierce nimbus]

The island in general, including overseer

[finite orbit]

My theris health is 25K and 1.5k melee

[fierce nimbus]

Going from wild, not using any existing mutation, but willing to mutation breed it

[finite orbit]

they also eat veggie cakes to heal themsleves and I bring a yuti to courage roar and a pig with 130k food to heal

[near ferry]

Honestly whatever creature you like more and get them busted with stats

[finite orbit]

oh and all have a min of 100 armor saddlees

[near ferry]

Imo Therizinos are better

I just know Rexes are the more popular ones which is why I said that

[finite orbit]

true, but for the dragon the theris dont take extra fire dmg

and can self heal with the cakes

[fierce nimbus]

I'll just breed theris and rexes then

[finite orbit]

Megatheriums for the broodmother are OP

[fierce nimbus]

They all got the same incubation period

[finite orbit]

I did megas for the brood, and theris for everything else

[fierce nimbus]

Aren't non mutated megatheriums good enough? (Official settings)

[finite orbit]

they can be with good saddles, gamma and beta easy, alpha not sure

I would do sameish stats 22k health, at least 700 melee with min 80 armor saddles and some veg cakes for the alpha. cakes not needed for gamma or beta. and of course the yuti and piggy

[sharp stream]

bruh I cant find the spino anymore

[finite orbit]

and if your soloing the bosses, put the piggy to ignore whistles, set to passive, and set to passive heal, and set to follow the yuti while you ride the yuti doing the courage roar.

[half bobcat]

It says required to shut down

[finite orbit]

not sure about that, maybe check the servers discord if it has one. or just try logging back on in about 15 mins

[sharp stream]

Why did ark automatically exit into the main menu when I alt tabbed?

oh well, atleast it saved when I was landed

(landed for stamina break)

I just ran into a level 30 crystal golem

should I go for the 173 spino instead

[inner shadow]

Crystal golem ?

[sharp stream]

oh

prob a mod

I have crystal isles additions

[inner shadow]

Ah ok lmao sounds awesome

[sharp stream]

a god damn ichthyornis just stole the meat I was gonna use for the spino

[sharp stream]

Knocked out the spino 😄

its only level 70 though :/

[gentle finch]

Anybody else's game blue screen randomly on ps4?

[sharp stream]

Quick question, which creatures aggro towards spinos?

I'm taming one rn

and having a high level dino die during taming is painful

[half bobcat]

You play on single player?

[static fjord]

wild spino? not much, unless the spino attacked it first

either way, you can put some food and narcos into it then unrender it. it'll still tame but since its unrendered, it cant be damaged

[sharp stream]

Why?

[sharp stream]

Ok

[half bobcat]

How do you drop something without eating it in hotbar?

[tough yarrow]

What are you trying to drop?

Some stuff cannot be dropped directly from your hotbar.

[half bobcat]

I want to tame a rollrat

But honey keeps dropping like a bag

[static fjord]

try dropping it from your 0 slot

[half bobcat]

How?

[static fjord]

put the honey on the 0 slot, then press 0. it should drop as honey instead of a bag or being eaten

[sharp stream]

why do spinos waddle like a duck

[late scaffold]

I think this is the right channel for this but,

ive tried researching this myself to see if i could find an answer, but it was to no avail. My question is, will there be the ability for people to create their own local private servers??? Just like in ASE, we were able use things like Ark Server Manager to host servers on PCs. I know ASM will not support ASA but my question is, will it be a possibility, or will we have to soley rely on Nitrado?

[slate widget]

ducks are birds which are descendants of dinosaurs

[slate widget]

there will be player hosted servers, we've heard that its planned to be at launch in the discord

[sharp stream]

what type of bird would a raptor be for it to have feathers?

[late scaffold]

okay cool, but is that like the servers that you have to launch the game and press host server or like an actual server?

[slate widget]

I believe they said server files so outside the game. the ingame one will probably exist as well tho.

[late scaffold]

awesome

tysm

[sharp stream]

damn I didnt know spinos are so good at harvesting fish meat

got like 500 from one lvl 30 megalodon

[dawn fiber]

Playing primitive plus, cant find the obsidian pickaxe in the smithy

[sharp stream]

Should I tame this 162 sarco I found?

I have a bunch of fish meat on my spino

[dawn fiber]

Yeah their pretty fun to ride around with especially in the water

[drifting barn]

If I recall correctly a lot of the prim plus items are actually made in the workbench not the smiths

Smithy

[dawn fiber]

Confusing cause it says it was build in smithy 🤷‍♂️

I dont even really want one anymore

They dont gather metal

[drifting barn]

Yee check the workbench. They gather clay way better. Which makes bricks. It goes a long way and has the health of metal if I recall correctly

[dawn fiber]

👍

[spark sedge]

I have found. the single stupidest way to tame a ceratosaurus. and i am in love

Rhynios can pick them up. Ceratos do not like being picked up and will attack without fail. If you're dosed up with hemoglobin, they can get drunk while attacking the rhynio that's holding them

[drifting barn]

Ceratos?

[tough yarrow]

From the Ark Additions mod by Garuga

[spark sedge]

You tame them by letting them c hew up your mounts while they're affected by a special buff you can craft

Between them having ADHD and knocking your tames around all over the place in the process, it can be an ordeal

[ripe orbit]

can someone help me with my game

[ruby sundial]

try #bobs-with-probs

[silver mason]

Have you seen Jurassic Park? “Even the word raptor means bird of prey”

[sharp stream]

So should I tame a sarco or stick with my kapro

162 sarco btw

also why do unconscious sarcos sound like they're eating potato chips

[silent matrix]

How rare are mutations

[prisma sand]

7ish % chance until you’re above 20 in one side

Then it’s halved

[silent matrix]

Riveting gameplay

[prisma sand]

Cool

[sharp stream]

why are spinos freakishly fast

[glad blaze]

hold on a goddamn minute, in the lore mei yin ko tames a rock drake???

why does she have plot armor, first she brings a giga to the boss arena now this

feminism W ig

and she doesnt need a radiation suit in the red zone either

wow

[dawn fiber]

I think the ark raptor is a utahraptor

[golden fulcrum]

How do I a mods

[prisma sand]

Mods are steam only

[golden fulcrum]

So do I have to have a PC?

[prisma sand]

Yes and the steam version of Ark

[wary lodge]

Hello, does someone know how big ark is in terms of gb storage? On steam.

And how big it is with the fjordur map?

Not on pc and the steam store says it’s 60 gb but the internet gives other numbers… same for the fjordur map… so kinda confussing

[prisma sand]

60 is accurate for base game.

It’s pretty close to 500 with all maps

[cinder rivet]

☠️

thats crazy

[prisma sand]

Fuckin YUGE

[cinder rivet]

mines 150

and i only have the island and ragnarok

[sharp stream]

I'm taming a thorny dragon and spending half my time killing or leading away enemies near it

umm

why did this dead thorny dragon just drop a bunch of random items

[prisma sand]

Because loot

[sharp stream]

does the destroywilddinos command delete ones in the process of taming? (Unconscious)

[runic breach]

yea

[sharp stream]

sometimes when my dinos are dying I panic and use destroywilddinos

I should probably avoid doing that during a tame

[prisma sand]

You should always avoid using cheats to make your life easier. Takes the fun out of it

[plush schooner]

Hi all !

[sharp stream]

Games should be fun, not stressful

(Obviously theres exceptions)

[pure parrot]

hi im new

[prisma sand]

Using cheats removes fun though. There is no challenge if failure isn’t a possibility.

[pure parrot]

do you have a server the i can join ?

that*

[sharp stream]

its not like I'm spawning tamed dinos or tek armor/weapons lmao

[pure parrot]

fuck you all🖕

[sharp stream]

💀

[dense minnow]

How do i connect my keyboard to ingame on my ps5?

[dreamy linden]

Not spawning tamed Dino’s but killing all the threats near the Dino your taming …. Cheats a cheat

[sharp stream]

Doesnt it delete the dino you're taming too?

since its techinically still wild

[dreamy linden]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[odd heart]

Nope, KO'd dinos aren't deleted in dinowipe

[carmine tundra]

hi guys, what's the key to remove UI in ark?

[prisma sand]

Backspace

[fringe tinsel]

@lethal turret could you please accept my friend request cuz I wanted to tell you something as I can’t report it in the player support because it doesn’t exist anymore and you don’t allow dms

[carmine tundra]

thank u

another thing, where's a good point to find quetzal?

[lethal turret]

message dodomail to report stuff

[ruby sundial]

Dodo mail top of player list --> always has popcorn

[zinc flame]

Hey there, would anyone be able to tell me the command I need to spawn a level 225(tamed) 150(wild) theri with 47 stats into melee and 35 into hp as I lost mine and I need the command to spawn it

[prisma sand]

There’s commands out there that do this but they’re very long and have a tendency to crash your game

[prisma pendant]

Since Ark ascended is going to have better performance on consoles I wonder if they will add back the tether distance slider for non-dedicated servers 🤔

[viral escarp]

Noob question sorry guys, Just wanting to know if there's any point in purchasing the expansions for Ark Survival Evovled now or in the future now that the servers are offline.

Ill be getting Ark Ascended once it releases hopefully before the end of this month.

[winged hamlet]

at this point not really, unless you really really want to play them over the course of this month

otherwise just get them as ASA rolls them out every few months

[viral escarp]

Thank you Kris

[vestal moth]

I think I've prepared enough, so I'm off to tame a rex.

Wish me luck

[winged hamlet]

gl

[viral escarp]

good luck

[tawdry wave]

Hi, I have made a server then later modded it, when I joined my server with TEKLauncher I had to recreate a character, how and where can I find and continue with my previous character?

[vestal moth]

So on the way to find the rex I found a carno, should I tame it or leave it?

[winged hamlet]

what level are you?

[vestal moth]

33 lmao

Bit low, but it's okay

[winged hamlet]

carno might be the better bet for now. rex saddle doesn't unlock until like level 76

[vestal moth]

Ok

[ruby sundial]

if you wiped the server to recreate it, the character wipes with it

[tawdry wave]

I didn't wipe the server, I was using the vanilla normal client

Then switched to another Modding Client

[ruby sundial]

if your character is not in download, and it didnt let you load into the character after launch, it was wiped

[craggy mortar]

Microsoft has its own windows 10 ark. Steam has one. Epic has one. When ark for windows is mentioned is usually Microsoft version

[tawdry wave]

You're right, thanks

[ruby sundial]

sorry. hopefully you can catch the new one up fast

[tawdry wave]

I am the admin, so I 'll just set my level to the same level as my old character level

What's the command for doing so by the way?

[ruby sundial]

what level were you? ill go get the command line

[tawdry wave]

Level 78

[tawdry wave]

And thanks

Anyone got an idea of what to do rn, am bored as fuck

[ruby sundial]

go to gen 2, take off the tek suit top of map, and see if you can grapple one of the flyers before you hit the ground and die o-o

i admit i was doing this earlier...

[silent matrix]

That sounds like a jackass type of thing

[ruby sundial]

i do a lot of weird shit in ark...

[silent matrix]

It sounds funny ngl

What map would you recommend me to play

[ruby sundial]

or if you have friends to play alongside, have each of them build a battlship on a raft and yall go out and disable creatures and play battleship with cannons

[silent matrix]

Appart from aberration cause i alr have a run on it

[ruby sundial]

idk fjordur has a lot to do if youre bored. more bosses than any other map besides missions

ive been building a zoo slowly on single player and doing other weird random things so my ideas are just weird af lol

[sick jungle]

is there anyway to increase mating range on SP, am breeding rexs, ( ik i can make a circle of female and spam all around near male but want to see if we can change settings for mating range )?

[sharp stream]

why do thorny dragons have big goofy looking eyes

[vestal moth]

Why the flying frick does everything I try to tame run towards water

Every god damn time

Managed to actually get the rex I wanted but a bloody piranha killed me

[prisma sand]

Cause you ain’t trapping it

[gentle finch]

Anybody here having any trouble with their game blue screening randomly. I looked it up and can't seem to find anything to fix it.

[dreamy linden]

Why does when you place an object sometimes, or regularly .. it will be placed in a place that you did not place it?

Is it a bug, something I'm doing wrong ...?

[ruby sundial]

its a playstation thing sadly..

[ruby sundial]

its an annoying clip issue. just gotta keep trying

[dreamy linden]

I am repetitively attempting to place this stone fence foundation on the bottom of this stone foundation and with out fail it's ending up on the top

[gentle finch]

Well damn that sucks. Can't fix it and I can't play because I blue screen every 5 mins. Thanks anyways

[ruby sundial]

one sec lemme see its in notes somewhere

posted in #bobs-with-probs so i didnt spam this chat with that info xD

[sharp stream]

It might be the same problem I had with pillars for my dino pen

[dreamy linden]

Does that mean it will eventually be successful? I've been trying this for sometime now

[sharp stream]

you could try stepping back

[dreamy linden]

I've tried stepping back, on top, behind, crouching, twisting ...

[ruby sundial]

yea just keep changing positions until it snaps or use the key to switch its position yourself when holding still to see if it snaps correctly

i think it was E to manually change snap points

[dreamy linden]

yea

no good

:/

[sharp stream]

Press Q

[dreamy linden]

Q niether

[ruby sundial]

is it triangle parts?

[sharp stream]

welp, its the only way I know how to cycle snaps

[dreamy linden]

stone fence foundation

attached to the bottom of a stone foundation

[ruby sundial]

odd that usually snaps just fine

[storm pagoda]

Ark is goated fr fr

[dreamy linden]

I can't wait for this ASA

[sharp stream]

Wait..

[dreamy linden]

to see what it entails

[ruby sundial]

oh bottom idk about that i never tried that build

[storm pagoda]

Fr

[sharp stream]

Fence foundations are seperate foundations arent they?

[ruby sundial]

yes

but can be snapped to foundations as well

idk about under it tho..

[dreamy linden]

well it's weird, I have 4 foundations lined up, 2/4 will snap to the bottom when I place on top, the other 2 vice versa ....

I don't get it

[sharp stream]

do you have S+

[dreamy linden]

yea

[ruby sundial]

perhaps pick them back up and start from the opposite side?

[sharp stream]

if so, pick up the 2 foundations and try rotating the foundations

[dreamy linden]

O.O

no fucking way

[ruby sundial]

xD

[dreamy linden]

Would it matter which way they're rotated?

[sharp stream]

idk

I'm bad at building

[dreamy linden]

nope, nothing

still snaps to the opposite elevation point

[hybrid horizon]

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off cryo sickness on Xbox? Or extend host tether on a non-dedicated server, on Xbox?

[sharp stream]

does the bite and swipe attack harvest the same amount when using a spino

[shadow marsh]

Only nitrado

[hybrid horizon]

What’s nitrado?

[shadow marsh]

The server provider for unofficials

[hybrid horizon]

Oh ok thx.

[sharp stream]

Are sarcos or spinos faster in water (sprinting speed)

[prisma pendant]

If u have 2 xbox's you can use 1 of them to host the server and play on the other to get rid of the tether.

[sharp stream]

How much torpor does a boomerang do compared to a club and slingshot

[hybrid horizon]

Um if you throw it it will do more torpor then a club and a slingshot I think

Yea it does a lot more

they break faster tho and do more damage I believe

[hybrid horizon]

I figured it out you just have to turn on pve mode to get rid of cryo sickness on single player at least not sure about non dedicated server yet.

[hybrid horizon]

Boomerangs don’t have a durability they are like spears they have a chance to break but it’s lower than a spear

[terse steppe]

How I increase equus power

[hybrid horizon]

Melee damage? Put levels into it

[slate widget]

you can't boost tether unless you change consoles. (series S/win10 have 50% boosted, series X has 10x/disabled in some maps)

[terse steppe]

It's says a stat named equus power

[slate widget]

yeah, that

[terse steppe]

My equus power is 2.48

[slate widget]

are you on mobile?

[terse steppe]

Yes

[unique topaz]

ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile:

The ARK Mobile official Discord can be found here:

Ark mobile discord

ARK Mobile players will always be welcome in this discord too!

[hybrid horizon]

Ok thanks I play on an Xbox one old gen so it makes sense.

[slate widget]

not sure what equus power is, they probably know tho

[terse steppe]

Aight thx

[sharp stream]

Can a spino outrun a wyvern?

[hybrid horizon]

Probably not

A pteranodon sprinting is around the same speed as a wyvern so a spino probably can’t out run it

[reef cosmos]

Guys i have a laptop And a desktop i wanna open dedicated server from my laptop will it be enough to run it or something?

[sharp stream]

quick question

is it considered cheating if I change the time to see the supply drops more easily

[honest root]

depends on the laptop, but yeah most likely, might eventually make your laptop explode though lol

[slow sedge]

your world your rules brother

[honest root]

Define cheating, nothing is considered cheating in single player lol

[sharp stream]

Alr

[reef cosmos]

Yeah What are the requirements ??

[honest root]

pretty sure they're weighted down pretty heavily by ram and stuff

CPU as well

[reef cosmos]

Oh yeah i guess it can handle it but it will run 7/24?

[honest root]

if its a new ish (like last 5 year) laptop that was around $600+ I'd say it'd at least be worth a shot

you can shut down and restart the server, it doesn't need to run 24/7 if you don't want it to

[reef cosmos]

oh that have soothed my nerves bruhh thank you man

We are 6 guys We cant run this local thingy it does not let us to play together And i dont really know how to run that dedicated server

[honest root]

always worth it to try, you might just hop in and get some hitching and stuff. depends how many players etc. If youre just wanting to do one for you and a few friends you should be okay

there's loads of youtube videos explaining how to run them I believe. my knowledge is very limited though

[reef cosmos]

Its mostly will be 6 but u can join if you want too :D

[reef cosmos]

Okay thank you man that helped me alot

[sharp stream]

what does spino bipedal mode do besides extra dmg when attacking

[royal quest]

why doesn’t my summon command work?

[sharp stream]

what do you need to summon tho

[royal quest]

giga

[sharp stream]

why

[royal quest]

why not

[spark sedge]

hrm

[sharp stream]

Welp

[spark sedge]

Mutagel has not been respawning around rockwell's heart for some reason

I don't want to set my resource respawns back to 0 but i may have to

[royal quest]

[hybrid horizon]

Here is a giga command “admincheat Summon Gigant_Character_BP_C” it’s a random level tho idk how to choose a level

[spark sedge]

There's a seperate command to summon them at specific levels, one sec

[royal quest]

Thank you

[spark sedge]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands#SpawnDino

[royal quest]

And it didn’t work

[hybrid horizon]

Dang

[royal quest]

This is confusing

[spark sedge]

It's the commands, my guy

[royal quest]

fair enough

[spark sedge]

If you're gonna cheat a lot you should learn them to make your life easier

[hybrid horizon]

Try, Cheat GMsummon “Gigant_Character_BP_C” 500

It may summon a level 500 giga

[sharp stream]

Therizinos are traumatizing early game

[final panther]

It will summon a 500, but tame it, so will come out to be a 749 (if my math is correct).

[sharp stream]

if you need to spawn more dinos then I'm pretty sure most if not all of them are on dododex

[tough yarrow]

The official wiki link that was just posted is more accurate, Dododex still uses the old unmoderated wiki.

[sharp stream]

That explains why some of the commands in dododex dont even do anything

[dawn fiber]

Lmao the valguero aberration cave is so dead

Ive been looking around for like 15 minutes and ive seen a single featherlight, 2 anglers chilling out in the water, and two glowbugs

[shrewd agate]

They're all waiting for ASA.

[dawn fiber]

Ive seen a bit more things now

Parasaur, 2 direbears, 2 scorpions, more glowbugs

And another featherlight

[sharp stream]

should I tame a beelzebufo?

I found a lvl 108

[oak hearth]

Yes

Good for paste if ya kill bugs

Guys I got a lvl 85 drake egg (ik it is bad and I'll have to get down there again)

[high trench]

A drake is still a drake they are awesome

[sharp stream]

alright

so whats the weird tenctacle plant

[oak hearth]

It will make the 2nd one easier

[oak hearth]

The thing that allowed me to fully heal my spino and megalo fast and turn of my light so the pet could get charge back

Its a plant species Z it basicly heals ya fast

And provides the light buff like shoulder light pets

[high trench]

yeah and if you sit for long enough it will spit out a seed

[oak hearth]

Yup

[high trench]

the seeds you can plant to make flashbang fruit

[oak hearth]

I use them as checkpoints for charge regen

My dog has 2,5k but yeah beter safe than sorry

[sharp stream]

so can it be planted in your base as an easy alternative to food

[celest sage]

I cant find any spino on the bog área in ark génesis,any tips?

[dawn fiber]

Idk i didnt play genesis that much

[lucid wharf]

my friend cant see my non dedicated sesion

help

[celest sage]

Needed a good high health high damage mount ,and wanted to get spino since im a bit tired of rex

[lucid wharf]

pls help

[oak hearth]

I have no experience with that sorry

[sharp stream]

lmao I just got crippled by a dead trike

[little gate]

How can you find peoples tribes to join there’s literally no one willing anywhere I look

[final panther]

#1110949794907684965

[sharp stream]

Is a bary worth taming if you already have a spino

[silent matrix]

Me and my freinds just got three trikes pregnant

[sharp stream]

and, do the boomerangs ALWAYS come back?

[silent matrix]

From the new big bug

The rhynioganthra or i think

[sharp stream]

rhyniognatha?

[silent matrix]

Yeah

[sharp stream]

your trikes will start asking for weird stuff

[silent matrix]

Yeah

They were

One of em asked for a balck pearl lmao

But we had otters so we had one already

[sharp stream]

isnt that just a rarer silica pearl

[silent matrix]

I think yeau

[sharp stream]

alright

I'm standing on my spino so a random sarco keeps coming back and then running away lmao

[fair wyvern]

if they don’t break, yes

[dawn fiber]

Baryonyx are very good for underwater caves, but if there arent any underwater caves on the map your taming a baryonyx would just be for collection if you already have a spino

[sharp stream]

theres no durability though

[fair wyvern]

The Boomerang's durability is handled like that of the Spear—that is, rather than a fixed amount of durability that is consumed over time, it has a chance of breaking with each use.

[sharp stream]

so its basically a torpor giving spear

[fair wyvern]

simply put, sure

[vestal moth]

I did a really reckless thing and I went to get an artifact.

I have it, now I just need to get out but idk how

[fair wyvern]

the same way you got to it but backwards

[sharp stream]

Found a bunch of beaver dams

finally a good amount of cementing paste

[harsh quarry]

what melee and health should i get on my rexes for the alpha Megapithecus boss fight island

[sharp stream]

dimetrodon or otter

[sharp stream]

all of it

[fair wyvern]

depends on what for, dimetrodons are better for hatching eggs, otters can be carried anywhere and are good at protecting the player from cold and can carry multiple artifacts

[sharp stream]

alr

so a dimetrodon is just a mobile air conditioner

[slim sequoia]

err how long should it take to mutate something normally? like just health, melee, stam, and weight?

[fair wyvern]

indeed

[heavy pawn]

I think they also refill oxygen

[sharp stream]

so could they be used for underwater exploration

or is a bary better

[split girder]

you are thinking of the diplocaulus

[sharp stream]

oh wait

I think I saw some diplocaulus in the same area

leemme look around

[heavy pawn]

ahh ok

[sharp stream]

the first one I saw got killed by another bary unfortunately

[heavy pawn]

Barry Allen?

the fastest dinosaur alive

[sharp stream]

baryonyx

also

the fastest dino alive is obviously the carbonemys

[sterile robin]

It can take a week. It's a chance of happening

[royal quest]

what’s currently the best dinosaur in ark?

[radiant locust]

Giga for sure

[royal quest]

what are the chances of a giga spawning?

[final panther]

If you are taming something with really good stats or something you have been looking for, for a long time, the chances are very, very good. 😄

[strange jungle]

Can i ask a question?

What is that difficulty where i can get lvl 150 dinos?

[ruby sundial]

5

[strange jungle]

Thanks

override difficulty=5 will work?

[slate widget]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5
yes

make sure offset is 1

[strange jungle]

Thanks

[radiant locust]

They have pre set spawns and 3 spawn on each map look at yt for the spawnpoints

[crisp reef]

Im on ps5 and whenever i play a non official pc server i get kicked with an error message following, whichever server i play, i tried restarting my game a million times. What should i do?

[sharp stream]

do pack leaders have a higher chance to be an alpha?

also I'm killing this alpha megalodon with my sarco, why does it keep trying to run away?

(not low hp btw)

[ruby sundial]

Alphas just spawn in general. They have a large red glow around their bodies. Pack leader is just the highest level in the pack around it

[sharp stream]

so I should aim to tame a pack leader?

[ruby sundial]

And alphas tend to run at low health but will come back

[crisp reef]

When it have low hp it tries to escape to survive

[slate widget]

they are the highest level so yeah.

[ruby sundial]

Tame the highest you can

[sharp stream]

Its 10K out of 30K health

but its been doing that when it had 20k hp

[crisp reef]

Still

[ruby sundial]

Yea they will. They always come back at you tho

[sharp stream]

good thing sarcos do decent dmg

woah

I got 4 levels from killing it

nice

OH DAMN

my sarco got 40 levels

[crisp reef]

U could always try to make it unconcous and then kill it

[sharp stream]

Why?

[crisp reef]

If u have a problem with them running away all the time

Im on ps5 and whenever i play a non official pc server i get kicked with an error message following, whichever server i play, i tried restarting my game a million times. What should i do?

[tidal sluice]

Yes enjoy shooting about 800 tranq arrows into an alpha Meg 😆

[formal geode]

That's a client side error. Shut off your console then reset your router. It's super common.

[sharp stream]

whats a good dino for oil underwater? (If there is one)

[bright crater]

For gathering oil? The dunky. Get a basi they passively produce oil

[sharp stream]

I'm on crystal isles, where do I find a basi there

also, does anybody know where I can get obsidian in crystal isles?

I need it for polymer

[worthy halo]

At the lava near red orb

[sharp stream]

is it the one infested with magmasaurs

[bright crater]

Basi's are all over I think. Or a tuso if you can tame one. Obsidian would be on mountains no idea never needed to farm it on Crystal ... kill penguins for organic poly

[amber shore]

👀

[spark sedge]

Lmao abusing the S+ transmitter scan now that I can run ark with hibernation off pretty comfortably

I just saw a level 145 mantis with only nine levels in melee. oof.

[worthy halo]

All over the right and middle of the map

[sharp stream]

can a dimetrodon breathe in water

[violet coral]

This is probably a question for an ark dev... if pc players go through windows to play do we have to use controller?

[sharp stream]

or is it just slower than a carbo

[waxen shale]

Is ASA going to be on Xbox game pass?

[violet coral]

@viral shore

[violet coral]

Doubt it, they probably wanna get the most money out of it possible

[silver mason]

I highly doubt it. I’ve downloaded games from the Microsoft store on my pc that I had bought on Xbox and was playing it on mouse and keyboard.

[spark sedge]

well shit

setting my resource respawn to 0 is not making mutagel respawn

And the other ways of getting it aside from gathering around the heart are just. frustratingly slow for one reason or another

[granite sail]

There a list of all modded and added creatures anywhere?

[spark sedge]

might have to turn on the genesis 2 spawns everywhere mod on genesis 2 so that crystals will give me mutagel lol

[heavy sequoia]

anyone wanna play this server im on ?

[silent matrix]

are my rock drakes good for rockwell? 60k health 1500dmg

[heavy sequoia]

dm me if so

[spark sedge]

Your drakes are fine and you know they're fine

ug am i gonna need to go fiddle with my s+ inis so i can fukkin. get the vanilla tek crop plot for the explorer note

[modern acorn]

guys do u know why when i set my settings to how i want them they automaticly reset when i load up the game again

[sharp stream]

I'm making a poll for fun

whats the best shoulder pet? Jerboa, Otter, Shinehorn, Bulb dog, or Sino (in looks, not abilities)

[drifting barn]

Mutagel takes a long time to respawn. There is a mission you can do that drastically decreases the time to it respawning

Instead of it taking hours to respawn it’ll take less time. 30 minutes to 2 hours with buff. I can’t remember for sure

[spark sedge]

I've been on for hours. And even when my resource respawn is literally at 0, so instant respawns, it's not

I had a habit of running around with a whip when i had respawns at instant for a long time and collecting tons, so i'm familiar with how it should be acting, and it's not

[hybrid horizon]

Do you guys think these are good breeding settings?

Baby mature speed: 10.0

Baby cuddle interval multiplier: 0.1

Egg hatch speed: 100.0

Mating interval: 0.001

[dawn fiber]

Just stole a 180 ice wyvern egg, feelin good

[wraith moss]

Perfect

[hybrid horizon]

Ok thanks

[wraith moss]

very fast

[hybrid horizon]

I don’t feel like waiting 7 hours for an egg to hatch

[wraith moss]

do u know how to speed up gestation?

[hybrid horizon]

No mating and gestation don’t have a spot in settings

You can’t change them

[wraith moss]

aw man

ok thanks

[hybrid horizon]

Your welcome

[sudden rock]

On ps4 single player they 100% are a changeable setting

[spark sedge]

Gestation is the same as egg hatch I believe

[hybrid horizon]

Well maybe there is mods but regular ark no

[sudden rock]

Yes on regular ark not mods

[spark sedge]

Mating speed should probably be changable too but it takes a few seconds so it doesn't t matter anyway

Every setting this game has can be tweaked

[wraith moss]

ok ill try egg hatch speed thanks

[hybrid horizon]

Yea I’m looking at some things it says egg hatch speed changes gestation but not completely sure

[spark sedge]

It does

[hybrid horizon]

Ok

[sudden rock]

On the sliders you can click on the box and input your own values higher or lower than the sliders values also

[sharp stream]

is narcotics the only use spoiled meat has besides feeding dinos like vultures?

[ocean plank]

whoever owns a 20x rate server whats your cap at on saddles and turret dmg???

and weapons

[spark sedge]

I find it kind of funny how ravagers and shadowmanes live in the same biome on gen2

Since shadowmanes are essentially just better ravagers

[hybrid horizon]

Not sure

[spark sedge]

Pretty much, yes. but it's a very important use

[sharp stream]

Alright

I'm gonna go to a different biome and find some phiomia to tame

[chilly chasm]

You can feed it to your prisoners too

[sharp stream]

Singleplayer unfortunately

I'll just feed it to my S+ workers

[chilly chasm]

Although I prefer to kill there tribe mates and cook their meat and force feed it to them.

[sharp stream]

I honestly prefer feeding them rare mushrooms

[dawn fiber]

Ive done that with organic polymer before

[sharp stream]

Organic polymer is more of a punishment food, like being 10 seconds late to feeding my dinos

[dawn fiber]

Boowomp

[spark sedge]

... i wonder. can you use rhynios to birth other rhynios

extremely inefficient but i just am curious if the game allows it

[hybrid horizon]

It most likely allows it.

[sharp stream]

sounds homo

should I tame a paracer? (I already have a bronto, but its slow af)

[spark sedge]

If your problem with bronto is that it's slow, paracer isn't a huge improvement

[sharp stream]

oh

should I tame a beaver?

[spark sedge]

They're good wood harvesters, pair them with something that can carry a lot of weight

[sharp stream]

how good is it at wood compared to a thorny dragon

[upbeat wyvern]

Ever use Dododex? That shows how good tames are for specific resources

[spark sedge]

I would honestly suggest just taming one, see for yourself how it goes, and make your decisions on how to proceed forward from there

[sharp stream]

is it any better than a thorny dragon

[spark sedge]

part of the fun of the game is figuring stuff out for yourself instead of asking everyone else to make all your decisions for you

[sharp stream]

uh... ok?

[hybrid horizon]

Hmmmmm, beavers are better then thorny dragons.

[slate widget]

beavers and thornys are about the same. thornys are cuter tho

they aren't different enough to be anything but preference.

[hybrid horizon]

Thorny dragons are ranked 4.0 on the wood scale and are ranked 9

Beavers are 4.7 and are ranked 2

[sharp stream]

thorny dragons are cuter, beavers are goofy in a good way

[slate widget]

they are both 5.0 on the wiki. dododex is by use

[hybrid horizon]

It says by gathering efficiency

[slate widget]

they use both. otherwise why would the wiki have different numbers lol.

I mean, it lists the metal hatchet higher then a thorny

[hybrid horizon]

Ok use a chainsaw, beaver, thorny dragon, or a mammoth your choice debate over

[slate widget]

stryder plus chainsaw is the best as a stryder can send the wood straight home if you have a dedi.

mammoth or rollrat otherwise for max weight reduction.

those 2 are worse for actually harvesting tho

[hybrid horizon]

Roll rat reduced wood weight by 80% mammoth is by 75% no difference really

[slate widget]

thats why I said or lol

[hybrid horizon]

Yea but then u can transfer more

[slate widget]

use a chainsaw with them lol.

[hybrid horizon]

Ok

[slate widget]

chainsaw and styder with a dedi is the best, then its rollrat/mammoth and chainsaw. otherwise its pretty much just preference. thorny/beaver or any other wood gatherer.

[sharp stream]

why does the paracer I was gonna tame have an aura

[sharp stream]

what happens if you cryopod/soul trap a dinosaur with structures on its platform saddle

[little trout]

I guess it destroys the structures

[hybrid horizon]

Or it doesn’t let you

[spark sedge]

So do Rhynios kind of just fly all over the place when you load back into the area ll the time, or is that just a singleplayer thing?

I've had to have mine following my hoverskiff just so that I always k now where they are if I don't want to shove them in a pokeball

[dim totem]

How come when I save my world and leave it wont let me join back and with my original character it just makes a whole new world

[hybrid horizon]

Did you delete the save or click create new survivor instead of using existing survivor

Also has this issue been happening or is it new?

#bobs-with-probs just go here

[dim totem]

I fix it

[hybrid horizon]

Ok

[hybrid horizon]

What was the problem if you don’t mind telling me just in case it happens to me or someone else in the future?

[spark sedge]

i feel like the noglin's tame would have made more sense if you let it mind control you instead of your creatures

[hexed marten]

Anybody know where I can find some unofficial servers at?

[dim totem]

It just wouldn’t load my character out my world for a bit

[sharp stream]

why do diplocaulus have to look so goofy

[lilac tree]

Ok yall anybdoy know of a way to change the max level after taming, like make it so i can level dinos past just 60 over the taming level

Playing The hunted mod and I dont really want to spend 500 years trying to get mutations on my dinos

[pliant ice]

I want to kill the Ragnarok boss in a non-dedicated host duo game. What do you recommend for dinos and stats?

[spark sedge]

because they're goofy lookin' guys

[lilac tree]

depends on what difficulty and what you are using

[pliant ice]

gamma and beta

[spark sedge]

Ark's version is actually a rarity in that it's a little bit more tame than the real thing

[spark sedge]

The old standby is rexes and a yuty for each player

I've seen success with spinos- There's water in the arena for their buff

[sterile robin]

non dedicated makes the bosses actually easier. I would shoot for either therz, rexes, or rhinos

[spark sedge]

Theris are really good bossers in general

[lilac tree]

theris op on the island

[spark sedge]

If you're playing with singleplayer settings on then yeah just about anything you've invested time in raising will do the job

[sterile robin]

just no more hp on theries than 21k and tons of cakes

[spark sedge]

As far as general strategy goes:

[lilac tree]

^

[spark sedge]

You generally want to kill the dragon first

Because you know, dragon doing dragon things

And that gives you all the time in the world to kill the manticore, and you'll need it because he's a bastard

[pliant ice]

Is it possible to set the difficulty to official server?????

[spark sedge]

Bring ranged weapons for him

[lilac tree]

disable single player mode in the settings

[spark sedge]

There should be a "Use Singleplayer Settings" option on your host screen when you're about to launch the game

toggle that off

[lilac tree]

zSingle player mode just boosts tf out of your stats

[pliant ice]

I've already done that.

[spark sedge]

Then you're good if you don't want it

[pliant ice]

I've set it to maximum difficulty.

[spark sedge]

Also, what all creatures do you have available? Is it just Ragnarok or do you have other map stuff in the picture?

[lilac tree]

Max diffuculty doesnt actually change the difficulty just the level of wild ccreatures

Yall who are good at bosses

18k health 800% melee and veggies good enough for alpha bosses on the island (therizinos)

[pliant ice]

needs to have mutation?

[lilac tree]

mutations usually how you get strong enough creatures ye, unless you tame some high levels with good points in health and melee

[pliant ice]

lost island, fjordur and ragnarok

[spark sedge]

You might consider bringing a few velonosaurs for the players to ride, then. Mostly just to keep putting damage on the manticore when it refuses to land

[pliant ice]

I got 2 Shadowmanes, 150 and 145.

And I have a level 290 Trex that I tamed at level 150

I'm looking for 2 Velonosaurs.

[spark sedge]

Oh if you've got shadowmanes then yeah, they're pretty much ideal bossers

[pliant ice]

And I have a 6x difficulty level.

[spark sedge]

difficulty level, as said, doesn't impact bosses or anything. just wild dinosaur levels

[pliant ice]

ok

[spark sedge]

... also we've gone over all the meta bosses, so now i'm going to suggest something stupid: mantises

Give 'em good saddles, give 'em good swords. Is it the best option? I unno. Probably not. Is it fun? Hells yes

[pliant ice]

lmao

Do you know how many stats I need in Shadowmanes?

I have 36 damage and 29 health.

[spark sedge]

I unno. Seems pretty good to me

aaaaaaw yiss i gots me a noglin

a shitty low level one i got trying out taming strats, b ut a noglin nonetheless

[pliant ice]

can i get 18 of them and 2 velonasaur

???

[spark sedge]

You'd want a human on the velonosaur and a human on the shadowmane (To make their guns not garbage and the shadowmanes actually do their roar). If you're doing shadowmanes you might even be better off just having everyone on one, or one person on shadowmane and one on yuty. You can shoot from the mane's back and if all else fails they can do a lunge after the manticore

[pliant ice]

thank you very much, you helped a lot.

[spark sedge]

Every now and then this little dude licks the side of my head and it makes me uncomfortable every time

[lilac tree]

I need ASA to come out

im never actually played through extinction or any of the non modded maps besides Rag, so im kinda waiting for ASA to play through em

[pliant ice]

Is 15k health and 500% damage okay?

And my Rex has 28k health and 1480% damage.

[spark sedge]

only one way to find out

[pliant ice]

Lmao

[jovial kernel]

thank you ark for everything

[silent matrix]

if ASA comes out i am not Fuckin starting from scratch again, cause if that happens i'll be done with ARK on PS4 permanently

[stiff dust]

Then just continue on your current save and finish it

Unless you were on official

[jovial kernel]

im just chillin on pc ark

[spark sedge]

you can keep playing ASE all you want

fuckin. why. why is this 145 noglin 50% taming efficiency. i did nothing wrong

fuckin.

[jovial kernel]

ive just been playin ether single player or on my buddies server were we have dino cage fights every other day

[abstract stag]

yea ive only really played either on singleplayer or on a private server with my dad, since the private server is now gone singleplayer it is.. im not really losing that much (assuming ASA actually works and i choose to pick it up)

[jovial kernel]

private servers arnt gone just the officals ones. unofficals are still up

[spark sedge]

I've been playing singleplayer and I don't really intend to stop anytime soon. Depends on how purty ASA looks/optimized it is

I've got a lot of mods I use routinely that it's probably not going to have on launch, for one thing

[jovial kernel]

at least the ark devs support the mod makers

unlike some game companys

[glad blaze]

guys is crystal supposed to respawn after you mine it on the island?

crystal i mined like 3 days ago still hasnt respawned i think i have to go into the caves to get some

[jovial kernel]

yes

did you build something next to the crystal spawn?

[glad blaze]

nope

my base is quite literally islands away

[jovial kernel]

what crystal spawn are you at?

[glad blaze]

um yk that early game crystal spawn people go to

its like on the island next to the starting island

[jovial kernel]

ah

i see

[glad blaze]

yeah idk how to describe it

[jovial kernel]

im aware of the crystal spawn you speak of

[glad blaze]

i havent explored the snow biome yet maybe there's some there

carno island maybe

[glad blaze]

yeye

just wanna get my massive greenhouse done rn

[spark sedge]

So. I'm assuming the levels on the noglin are largely cosmetic?

[glad blaze]

i never really encounter this

[jovial kernel]

have you tried at the top of the mountain close to swamp near carno Island?

theres cyrstal there

[glad blaze]

mostly because i quit my saves soon

[glad blaze]

ill try there

ah im actually right above it

i've mined here already there's nothing here either

[jovial kernel]

just watch for argys and sabertooths

oh

then i guess wait for respawn

it shouldnt take that long

[glad blaze]

really? i mined there like 2 days ago and i play for like 8 hours at a time

(singeplayer btw)

[jovial kernel]

mabe you might need to stay in the area

loading in the area for awhile

[glad blaze]

"
Lower the respawn rate down to 0.01 orsomething stupid like that, load back into you map, go over to where the crystal spawn is and keep going in and out of render distance untill it has respawned. This usually works for me, even recently (like a week ago to see what bugs are still there). Change the respawn rate back to something more normal after that obviously.

Why they dint fix it yet, i dunno honestly, but it looks like it has todo with hibernation radius. Regardless of the respawn radius around the player or if you exit before it respawns, it simply happens when you load/unload the area, even with hibernation turned off via launch commands."

ah therre it is, i have hibernation turned off in my launch commands because my game was corrupting my saves without it

[jovial kernel]

oof

[glad blaze]

well that's mildly frustrating

[jovial kernel]

it be like that sometimes

[glad blaze]

it iz what it iz ill do it later ig for now i go to the caves

actually nah ill do it rn

where do i find respawn rate settings

[prisma sand]

Disable hibernation should fix it

[glad blaze]

if i do that then i keep getting error 358.17 upon launching a save

actually hibernation is already disabled

i cant enable it or i get the error

that wroked

[tawdry wave]

The Dino AI pathing is so dumb...

Is there a mod that improves it?

[winged hamlet]

not as far as i know but that's one of the improvements coming in ASA

[tawdry wave]

What's ASA?

[winged hamlet]

ark survival ascended. it's Ark but revamped with a new game engine, ai updates, QoL improvements to the base game, mod support for all platforms and cross-platform play

it's launching at the end of october

[tawdry wave]

Free or paid?

[winged hamlet]

paid. it's like $40 after some price reductions i think? but it should come with all the maps eventually

[tawdry wave]

Why make it paid when they're already announced Ark 2? Strange

[winged hamlet]

because the devs need to get paid

and with ark 2 supposedly being set up as a different game than the first one, having ASA lets players keep going in the first system as well

plus it gives them a revenue stream until Ark 2 can launch

[tawdry wave]

but if it's a QOL update, seems like should be another update, from what you've described, it's not new content but rather an improvement on the janky game we already have paid for

[winged hamlet]

it's being updated from Unreal Engine 4 to 5

that takes a lot of work

and like i said, they gotta pay the devs to do it

[tawdry wave]

Many other companies do it for free.

[winged hamlet]

no company has remade an entire game for free

every time skyrim gets redone you pay for it

[tawdry wave]

Is this a remake?

[winged hamlet]

it's a remake and revamp of the entire game

porting it to UE5 takes a lot of work

[grand comet]

They answered that questioned already. They need funds to continue developing both ASA and especially Ark 2.

We paid for Ark 7 years ago or so, paying for a remaster isn't a big deal

[tawdry wave]

From what I know about UE4 and 5 is that Epic Games made it easy to update it

[winged hamlet]

considering how many of us have thousands of hours in it, it was worth the price

[tawdry wave]

But if this is a kickstarter kind of deal then I guess I can accept that

[grand comet]

The difference between UE4 and UE5 is like a wind up car and a flying car. The technology is mind blowing

[tawdry wave]

I know

[winged hamlet]

UE5 can render things in much better detail, while at the same time taking up less space

[tawdry wave]

Praise be Epic Games

[winged hamlet]

UE5 is still relatively new too

[tawdry wave]

If only they could make a Client as good as their Engine

[winged hamlet]

the Ark devs had to basically learn it over the course of the past year

[grand comet]

So pretty much getting Ark 1 remastered in UE5, new features with it etc after 7/8 years is a good deal all round even if its driving force was money

And- I see it as a back up for if Ark 2 flops. Considering how they've described it being different from Ark 1

[winged hamlet]

also a source of revenue in the meantime

iirc Ark 2 was originally going to be UE4 too, but they made the choice to swap to UE5

[grand comet]

Exactly. I love Wildcard and will happily support them through anything. They made my all time favourite game.

Fuck Snail Games though.

[winged hamlet]

yea

but unfortunately we wouldn't have ark if they didn't come in

at least not past maybe SE

[tawdry wave]

Man, Imagine if Ark 2 has EVE in game fights like in Monster Hunter World, that would be cracked

[winged hamlet]

supposedly ark 2's combat will be more souls-like

[grand comet]

I just fear Ark 2 strays too far away from what Ark 1 is.

It would be different if it was branded as a spin off but because its a sequel I expect it to say the same but enhanced features greatly and a new story. Only I fear they are gonna make it so very different its barely Ark anymore

[winged hamlet]

i mean, if ark 2 is just ark 1 set on another planet, it might as well just be another DLC map

[grand comet]

A souls-like adventure does not sound like a true sequel, more a spinoff

[winged hamlet]

we'll have to see

after all we've had absolutely no info for months

[grand comet]

Which if it was marketed as a spinoff, them taking the IP into other genres that's cool but you can't market it as a sequel just for the sake of using Ark 1 to sell your sequel only for it to be unrecognizable

I have my concerns until I see gameplay but I am far from hyped for it.

Ark 1 despite all its flaws and lack of certain features was a perfect recipe. They hit on all the right notes and made a incredible game. Straying too far from that instead of doing what they did with Ark 1 only add the features the OG could not- is gonna kill it for me and I think a lot of people

No it's just what they've described

Gutted half the progression system in favor of primitive- okay that's a very big deal. Dark souls like adventure- has be greatly concerned they want to be mote of a souls game than what Ark is

[winged hamlet]

WC made Ark, but the problem was one of the head devs for Ark was under an non-compete from another company

which meant that most if not all of Ark's original sales was lost in a lawsuit

Snail Games came along and bought WC

[grand comet]

Snail Games are slime that are only in the mix because Wildcard was backed into a corner, they are rip off artists and blatant cheats in every sense of the word. Their only accomplish ment in existence is buying Woldcard when they were vulnerable

No. Not really

Need Microsoft to buy them tbh they are the only people that has the means and the will while also being trustable with what's best.

[winged hamlet]

Snail Games is also likely the reason we've had so little info these past months. they keep the ark devs under an NDA only allowing them to put out little tidbits here and there when SG lets them

[serene lion]

I just came here to ask since I was wondering if anyone would know, but wildcard is gonna nerf caves and get rid of cryos for 1.5 but does that mean they are going to do anything to buff land bases at all like raising turret limit or something?

[winged hamlet]

cryos aren't being added until Extinction launches in a few months

as far as everything else, we really don't know

we've had painfully little info about it

[glad blaze]

guys do yall think a pack of AA ceratosaurus could beat gamma monkey?

[winged hamlet]

depends on their stats

but probably

monke has the lowest hp out of the three island bosses

[glad blaze]

im thinking 20k hp each, 400-500 melee

prim saddles

yuty

[meager glen]

Yr they'll clap gamma maybe even beta monkey

[meager glen]

Four*

[spring yoke]

If I was that rich I definitely would 😂

[winged hamlet]

the three basic island bosses

[glad blaze]

alr ty

what about broodmommy?

[meager glen]

Probably could on gamma not beta tho

[glad blaze]

alr i gotchu

[winged hamlet]

if you breed them up they should be able to

[glad blaze]

thanks

[hard nebula]

is the breeding range able to get changed and is it smaller on sp

[hushed tinsel]

hi i am looking for a normal roleplay server not to many mods and pvp/pve i am 18 dm me if you have any servers

[ruby sundial]

#1110925695900713072 scroll through there. Several RP servers. Pvp and pve

[celest sage]

Im searching for errors on the bog biome and when i get one ,It doesnt give me any hexagons

Is It normal?

[fathom owl]

Hexagons for glitches were disabled a long time ago due to an exploit

And have never been re enabled

[austere olive]

Is it worth buying ark ascendend or ark 2

[gilded spruce]

Average wildcard exploit fix

[sharp skiff]

Thats cringe asf

Stop talking like that about ark

[meager glen]

Your cringe asd

Asf*

[latent finch]

Probably neither

[random crag]

It's all personal. To me Ascended is easily worth the money. Ark 2 I'll likely buy regardless, but I'm super invested in the ark journey/story and wanna see it for myself play out

[latent finch]

I’ll probably buy both as well but all signs point to the fact that neither game will be complete by release, I also agree with the price being alright on ascended

[random crag]

They knew it wouldn't be complete by release and said they would release ASA as Early Access. They never claimed otherwise.

[latent finch]

Just saying I’ve never seen a remaster released in early access and with them I’d be surprised if the game plays decent

[random crag]

I wouldn't. They've had years of practise now and it's in a better state overall than it was even a few years ago. Playability wise. Couple that with a better base code and Unreal 5, I have high hopes for ASA. Ark, and Wild Card, has always done things their own way. So the Early Access thing never really bothered me, just Ark being Ark lol.

[latent finch]

Yeah I can agree with ya just taking it with a mountain of salt lol I’m definitely hyped don’t get me wrong

[random crag]

To each their own. No 1 viewpoint is ever fully accurate, even my own. Especially my own lmao. Old brain just aint all there anymore. At least you have the ability to be civil plenty cant be

[latent finch]

Likewise you have a good one lol

[random crag]

Same tp you, fren

[spark sedge]

bluh. Trying to lure a whale into a trap and it just refuses to aggro onto me, even with rare flowers

if anything it is going further away

[gilded python]

did ragnarok release before ore after abberation?
