ark-survival-ascended

[slate widget]

palworld. first descendant, and many other unreal games (most are UE5) do it that way.
ark is just the biggest because its a huge game so its more noticeable.

I've heard no man's sky does it as well

[north violet]

When its faster for me to just uninstall the game and redownload than it is for me to download a 300mb patch you know it has to be an issue with this game....

[slate widget]

get a faster drive. its based on drive speed. and again has nothing to do with the game.

[north violet]

I have played palworld and its never taken me that long to patch

[slate widget]

steam handles all of the patching and updating stuff.

[slate widget]

because the game is like 15GB lol

[north violet]

tons of people here also say this. I download at 1.6gbs average its not my drive lol

[slate widget]

okay its 21GB

[slate widget]

the patching is your drive speed not your download speed.

ark's compression will also effect it compared to other games.

[north violet]

Point still stands my drive is good so not an issue with the drive. This is literally the only game I have played that does this for me

If other people are saying the same thing every update on here you start to recognize a pattern that it must be that this game just isnt made well

[slate widget]

I've explained why it works that way. its not a problem with ark. the patch size will be smaller when the non-island maps are downloadable DLC but it won't make it non-exsistant because thats how steam does them.

[north violet]

Guess we will see whenever they decide to do that then... But I HIGHLY doubt that

[slate widget]

doubt what? that they will do it or that it will make the patch smaller?

[north violet]

Monster Hunter Wilds also doesnt do this for me and that game is not optimized too and UE5

[north violet]

That it will make a big difference

a little sure but still will take longer than other games ive played i bet

[slate widget]

its not a matter of optimization. its steam patching the full package.

monster hunter wilds should be about 60GB of patch since thats the package on steam. the high resolution texture pack is a DLC and won't change unless they change it too

[north violet]

Like I said we will see, im willing to be proven wrong but so far this is literally the only game i play where downloading the game again is faster than downloading a 300mb patch

[slate widget]

a quick google shows people saying it on the steam forums so it does do 60GB patches.

[north violet]

Yeah but it doesnt take longer than downloading the actual game again to patch like ark

[slate widget]

its based on drive speed, steam patch system, the compression method etc.
steam handles the patching system. ark can't change that part. only what has to be patched by seperating it out into DLC.

the compression is kinda needed. the devkit is uncompressed and 800GB lol

[ashen token]

I dont understand something about mutations. What is a double or a triple mutation? and can a single mutation give more than 2 points into a stat? Can you have more mutations of a single stat than 20? I have got another question but its for someone who knows S+ mod, what does stacking pulses do when using mutators to make mutated offspring?

[north violet]

well imma wait for that day they let us separate the files then and see if it helps but I still stand by it def not being normal for it to take longer than if I reinstalled the game. 200+gigs to patch just to fix a link is not normal

[slate widget]

double and triple mutations are just you getting 3 rolls of mutations.
I imagine the game does 3 rolls for mutations when both are below 20/20. and when all 3 hit then you got a triple.
not sure why there are 3 tho. just how they did it.

[ashen token]

so a triple mutation is 3 mutations to 3 different stats?

[slate widget]

as long as you keep all the mutations on one side (breed mutated with unmutated) then you can go as high as the mutation cap or level cap.

[slate widget]

they can all be in the same stat as well.

each roll is isolated and they don't effect eachother.

[ashen token]

Can you have more mutations of a single stat than 20?

21 in melee for instance

[still terrace]

ok help im playing ase and i cant join any non dedicated server anymore and like half an hour ago i could

[mossy path]

Guys any way to increase my weight easier ? Cuz weight leveling up is so slow and bad

[flint wolf]

guys i need help who can help me?

[slate widget]

yeah, the max is 254 stat points or 127 mutations.

[slate widget]

ask your question, don't ask to ask.

[wintry fox]

those mutations, are for each stat, not just total (up to server dino level cap

[flint wolf]

bro why ark is 769gb after upadeted?

[slate widget]

yeah, in ASA 127 mutations is each stat.
for servers with a level cap like officials you can't go above that so min-maxing your stats is common.

[slate widget]

its a steam issue. think its just visual

no idea what causes it but its been happening for a few weeks I think.

[flint wolf]

u know how to fix it?

[slate widget]

if steam won't install the update try restarting steam 🤷 or you may have to reinstall ark.

[wintry fox]

or restart the pc

[flint wolf]

is 200 gb 💀

[still terrace]

ok help im playing ase and i cant join any non dedicated server anymore and like half an hour ago i could

[fallow forum]

[still terrace]

No same with me

[still terrace]

My laptop still updating bc of restart

😭

[tight granite]

Oh so i am not the only one 😭

[still terrace]

No

[sturdy heath]

Were you globally banned?

[still terrace]

IT was working fine en hout ago

Omg autocorrection

An hour ago

[tight granite]

for me its been yesterday, i don't know why but i am going crazy my friend just buyed the game and we can't play

[still terrace]

SAME I JUST BOUGHT IT

I already played but now it broke

[tight granite]

Ah

well btw same

[still terrace]

What game did you buy evolved or ascended

[tight granite]

evolved

you?

[still terrace]

Ye same

So ig maybe ark non dedicated servers problem

[tight granite]

Hope tomorrow is gonna work

[still terrace]

Same here

[tight granite]

yea

[tight granite]

i planned my day for playing then this happened

[still terrace]

Oof thats sad

Well my laptop is taking all the time it can get to update

[sturdy heath]

That is the perfect ark playing experience lol

[tight granite]

wdym?

[still terrace]

Indeed

[sturdy heath]

Ark is always broken especially when you budget time to play

[still terrace]

Im restarting it seeing if it will work

As in restarting my laptop and it needs to update

Alot

[tight granite]

Ohh

[still terrace]

Hopefully itll work

[tight granite]

i was going that crazy that i unistalled the game and reinstalled it 3 times trying modifing files dowloding map nothing to do so i am sure its a problem from the server

[still terrace]

96% after 45 minutes

[still terrace]

Wow

But others can play so specific people problem or smth

Well the stupid thing is ark survival evolved is not 1st priority for the devs

So if they fix it it will take a while

[tight granite]

Yea that's the problme

[tight granite]

Gonna be depressed until it fixes

[still terrace]

Same

[tight granite]

where you from?

[still terrace]

Netherlands

[tight granite]

Cooolll

[still terrace]

You?

[tight granite]

me italy

[still terrace]

Nice

[tight granite]

can i add you

[still terrace]

Sure

[magic salmon]

Case #52617 @dim latch has been muted for 2 hours.
Reason: Mass Tagging

[pearl valley]

Does anybody know why when I have my world's on maximum difficulty the dinos still spawn at level 12 and 37 and stuff

[still terrace]

Ah i have that too

[frozen palm]

U hav to do a wipe

[slate widget]

37 shouldn't even be a possible spawn. its a prime number
unless you mean wyvern/rock drake

[sturdy heath]

Never seen a lv 35 with a mutation in the wild

[slate widget]

yeah, okay if you count baby dinos 😂

35 means its working tho since 35 can only spawn on 5 difficulty not 1,2,3, or 4.

[slow geode]

are they still getting ddos attacks?

[fair wyvern]

not currently but it can start back up at any time, last one was 8 days ago

[silent matrix]

Im looking for a pvp server and i want the people teach me and i can be in a tribe any server? can anyone giveme the name official or unoficial the both are right but specific

[split quail]

Oh.. Thats then the reason that the autodecay is still turned off

[shrewd socket]

is there a setting to fix the graphic artifacts when theres fog in redwood

[edgy cape]

to get rid of fog?

[shrewd socket]

no, to get rid of the graphical artifacts

[rigid swift]

forgot to reply sorry but you should be fine as long as you change some settings

[rigid swift]

its been a thing since ase lmao

built from the ground up!!!

[fallen beacon]

Is there a reason why some maps won’t spawn no Dinosaurs but I go too extinction and I would pawn and see a bunch dinosaurs roam around

I tried to ask this in general but wasn’t helpful

[twin python]

On a ps5 pro everytime I open my inventory I crash, if I access my inventory through a tame I am fine does anyone have any solutions

[silk moth]

Is there a way to turn on dmg numbers ? Anyone know?

[thick walrus]

Yeah its in the advanced settings or like world settings I believe.

[silk moth]

there is nothing in advance settings as I see

[thick walrus]

I cant pull up ark right now but its in the setting somewhere

[silk moth]

nothing in settings at all , as I see

I know it suppose to be in advance settings not nothing

[odd coral]

hi guys im new to the discord and have a question, every time an update on steam comes for ark i need aroud 200gb of free space (i assume it is kind of a swap paritition), do you encounter the same problem and is there a fix such that steam merges the new content directly into the gamefiles without moving the the whole game

[lofty night]

I can’t find a good server, any recommendations? 10x, 150dinos, all maps, not that many mods but want gryphons, superspyglass, Dino depot

[lyric iris]

is anyone doing ice or desert titan in the next hour on unmodded officials?

[bleak gyro]

Should I use ascendant bow or journey man crossbow

[sturdy heath]

What ever one does more dmg

[bleak gyro]

Bow 726 headshot

Cross bow prolly 300

[sturdy heath]

300 with headshot?

Need to compare base body shots. Non mate boosted

What ever does more dmg is better to use

[bleak gyro]

Bow by like 60

And cross bow is master craft

[sturdy heath]

Quality is irrelevant it’s all depends on dmg output. You could have a 300 dmg cross bow that’s ascendant and one that’s journeyman and they will do the same

Just ones cheaper to repair lol

[unique mango]

Hi all! So I've been mutating megalos and finally got my 20th mutation in melee damage. However, it happened to be a DOUBLE mutation on the very last male, one in melee dmg and one in stamina. Could I still use that male to breed with the upcoming female of 20 health mutations? Maybe a silly question but should I save this double mutated male with 20 melee mutations ans one stamina mutation?

[sturdy heath]

Yes you can have it just fine and you will have a 20/h 1/S and 20/m final product. The only problem would be if you want to continue to breed more mutation stacks you would not want that Stam in there ideally

[unique mango]

Alr thanks a lot ^^

[silk moth]

it doesn't matter how many mutations u have on male as long as u keep all females unmuted. U can breed as many stats as u like and than combine to final breed all together. 4exmpl, if u breed fem. with 20 in hp with male 20 dmg, u get baby 20 hp 20 dmg

[shell timber]

Is official glitched or bugged to where you are unable to put gasoline in your last inventory slot? I’m trying to feed this Rhyniognatha and I can’t because it will not let me put gasoline in my last inventory slot. Already tried restarting, moving other things in and out of the last slot. Nothing.

[shell timber]

You have to put it in the hosts inventory and use the inventory options. Hope this helps somebody. Because I was lost.

[lofty heart]

hello dose any one have ark asa nitrado ini i want something that is balanced like i dont want to spend 2hours taming just for it to die in 5 minutes playing and i dont want the game to be to easy

[cyan tiger]

Whats ini

[slate widget]

they want setting suggestions.

[fading ice]

the file extension for the configuration files the game uses. colloquially it means any modification to the game settings/graphics, beyond the in-game options

[cyan tiger]

Oh

[fading ice]

also often involves making the game look like a bad nintendo 64 port

[cyan tiger]

💀

[slate widget]

that would be the other term 😂 usually involving PvP or series S

[cyan tiger]

I wanna host a dedicated server on the same pc im playing on, would that be possible

[fading ice]

tbh we dont need the landscape anyway, just memorize where the ground is

[slate widget]

possible yes, your router can have issues with it tho.

[fading ice]

if it has a decent amount of memory and enough CPU cores for both, yes 32GB, 6-8+ cores as a baseline for ASA

and yeah, depending on the router, you may have funky issues connecting to a local server

[cyan tiger]

Idk my core count but i have i9 13th gen 64 gb ram and a rtx 4070

[cyan tiger]

Oop
If its glitchy i can always stop the server pretty easily right

[fading ice]

hopefully already patched for the vmin shift issues, or you are about to have a dead CPU

[cyan tiger]

Man i wish people hosted servers for free

[cyan tiger]

Wtfff

Cant be that bad

[fading ice]

yes, it can.

[cyan tiger]

No they all want like 15 bucks a month to host one for you

[fading ice]

100% failure rate for 13/14th gen i9s over a few months of heavy use, if unpatched. intel super fucked up some stuff

[fading ice]

hosts? yeah. it takes hardware and electricity to run a server

[cyan tiger]

Oh damn wtf

Ive heeard of them but they mostly gone now

[fading ice]

look into it. patch the firmware, run damage tests. if it fails any, warranty replacement time. they are not "gone" unless you patched the firmware to remove them, and any existing damage wont go away

intel has extended warranty coverage for impacted models

[cyan tiger]

Heh

Ill just olay singleplayer atp

[fading ice]

as far as a server, if it is a 13900k, those have.. iirc 24 cores? only 8 are fast, but it should easily handle a server and client at once. they may fight over the fast cores and cause issues

[cyan tiger]

Yesh 13900k

[fading ice]

not really ideal for gaming, but if you do a little manual tweaking, it should handle this well

[cyan tiger]

Alr alr

[fallen beacon]

So it’s 500 to much for Dino spawn me and my friend only see pterodans it’s starting to get annoying can anyone explain

[silent matrix]

Guys anyone know a mod that has already made houses I don’t like building

[fading ice]

i dont think that is a practical thing to do 🤔 no (some) shame in making a bob box, or copying designs

[silent matrix]

I built a Bob box 4 allosauruses deleted my generation of dodos

There was some mod in ase

Really awesome it had already built structures

[tough yarrow]

Premade Structures

I haven't seen one for ASA though

[thick walrus]

I dont think the game will actually allow that spawn rate it probably hits the max well before then, ubless you mean the dino lv in which case lv 150 is the max for wild dinos.

[silent matrix]

Lazy mod makers

They make a map but never make a made structures mod

[outer widget]

learn to mod

[thick walrus]

Or to build

[tough yarrow]

Every modder is different, and judging them for not making a premade structure mod so you don't have to build is wild

[thick walrus]

Wouldnt even work that well considering the only place you could really use it is where the modder made it, and would be functionally useless in pvp.

[silent matrix]

Not worth building since I build in spots that will punish me in two days

[thick walrus]

Are you on official?

[silent matrix]

I want the mod just to make a structure for me since I want to complete the five story ark solo

[thick walrus]

Or do you mean punished as in wild dinos killing you?

[silent matrix]

Someone blessed me with their knowledge

No need to anymore

[thick walrus]

I'd just use stone structures they cant really be destroyed

[fading ice]

build walls

not really something you can get prefab, though

[silent matrix]

I am a lazy person that’s why I’m asking for structure mods

[fading ice]

if dinos are attacking your structures, you are doing something really weird

[silent matrix]

You know there is (aggressive) dinos right

[fading ice]

there is not really a way to made useful premade structures. your base needs to fit the local terrain and your requirements for size, progression

[outer widget]

in singleplayer you dont really even need a base. just put some turrets and plant x

[fading ice]

yes, and they dont attack buildings

[thick walrus]

Yeah but they dont attack buildings

[silent matrix]

If I can’t kill I will definitely hide in my base

That makes them break it

[fading ice]

then they attack your base 🤔

tons of options

[thick walrus]

Make it out of stone and then put a window and shoot them to death

[silent matrix]

Dinos are ai They’re programmed They’re not stupid

[silent matrix]

Smart move I could work this out

[thick walrus]

Or put the spike walls up around you're base. Also the dinos are the dumbest things possible

[fading ice]

build walls
dont fight random shit
win
lead it away from your base
dont build with thatch or whatever
yes, they are incredibly stupid

[silent matrix]

I’m lucky and unlucky at start found a 150 pt

[thick walrus]

Thats lucky

[silent matrix]

Tamed it then a dilo killed it

At least managed to take crystals

And metal

[thick walrus]

If you're playing solo worlds I'd change your rates as well

[silent matrix]

I’m dumb in building how would you want me to change my rates

Like I’m too Bob for doing rates

[thick walrus]

The game settings before you log in

[silent matrix]

I know

[thick walrus]

Mine are 3x's harvest and 8x's tame with 2x's exp

[silent matrix]

I can’t make it balanced

[thick walrus]

Makes harvesting ok, taming becomes a 15 minute-1 hour long process and you level up at a reasonable pace

[silent matrix]

I don’t know my pt took too long to eat

Eats in each 5 minutes

[thick walrus]

It was a 150 pt on what I assume was base rates

That about an hour or so tame

If you need shoot me a message and i'll awnser questions as you have them out of these slow mode channels

[silent matrix]

I think my taming rate is really bad when I wake up I’ll edit em

3 I think I put

[thick walrus]

Yeah thats still gonna be pretty long

[drifting star]

Weee there goes 6012

[vestal solstice]

I'm so confused
So ark 2 got scratched?
What's ark atric... ye I can't spell

[red dragon]

No

[nocturne jackal]

so whats the deal?

[red dragon]

i’m Also curious about this

They said they’re still working on ark 2 but a seperate branch is working on aquatica, whatever that is

[meager vine]

What is ark aquatica lmao

Subnautica meets ark?

[tough yarrow]

Snail is working on Ark Aquatica

Wildcard is still working on ASA and Ark 2

[vestal solstice]

Now
I think ark Aquatica might might have to do with water but don't take my word for it

[supple notch]

What is ark aquatica?

[tough yarrow]

We don't know

All anyway knows is what got posted in #announcements

Their Twitter has nothing on it atm

[vestal solstice]

Been working on ark 2 for a good minute now

[supple notch]

Maybe its another official modded map

[meager vine]

Sounds like another game from what they said lol

[vestal solstice]

Probably

[vestal solstice]

Probably

[meager vine]

Snail games be smokin somthin good

[tough yarrow]

It sounds like another game the way it's worded but we won't know until more info is shared

[supple notch]

Hopefully its as good as it sounds

We have a snow map on the way, an ocean one would pretty much give everyone what they eanted

(If it works)

[broken marten]

bro can they stop spamming announcements about future content and maybe fix the fucking game lol

[tough yarrow]

The community managers are meant to share stuff like this, they do have different teams xd

[broken marten]

I havent been able to play Astraeos for weeks, but I'm glad theres some new anime content coming out

[lavish crest]

[lavish crest]

Snail games be smoking the money they farm us for

[slate widget]

[exotic folio]

[exotic folio]

i've started playing ark a long time ago i never actually played it played it

as a kid i just messed around admin commands and creative

i joined a offical server once and saw a base with a open gate and saw a creature and was in love it since then

i miss my magmasaur

[ebon narwhal]

Holy very good trailers

10 year one was good but sad

[lofty spade]

Whoever is cooking needs to stop🗣️

[lofty spade]

Showing you peak Ark just to trash on it even more

🗣️

[cyan moon]

So did I miss something on the 10 year video? Nothing added until lost colony later this year? Thought I would have seen something for valguero or ragnarock before it closed on lost colony.

[vestal geyser]

rag comes april, unreal engine upgrade suppose to come this month

[fading ice]

iirc ragnarok is being done by a different team? not sure where it is

volvo pls

[tough yarrow]

They stated April, barring any delays

[fading ice]

give catbirds

[vestal geyser]

what does a cat bird look like

[fading ice]

large and neckless

like an owlbear but confused

[slate widget]

fun fact: they actually do have necks. its just hidden.

[vestal geyser]

lmao

[fading ice]

not a bird unless it extends like an accordion

[mossy thicket]

how do you get meks that shoot lasers?

[twilit falcon]

Is the game worth playing now? Haven’t played since last year

[boreal coral]

Nope if you managed to give it up don't come back lol

[slate widget]

depending on when last year then it could have multiple new maps. the astraeos paid DLC released last month.
if you like ark play ark 🤷

[umbral sun]

Anyone know how to transfer ASE sp save files to another device?

[hardy mountain]

When a titan is uploaded to tek transmitter, is there a wait time until it can be downloaded?

[keen echo]

The visuals under water have gotten crazy. Wearing a tek helmet. I can see right through the ocean for miles like looking through air. And if I go to a deep area in ocean everything turns solid black (astraeos)

[desert quarry]

is there any way to make 2 tames follow eachother in wandering mode

[jagged imp]

If I were to buy a dedicated server, would it have better performance than a single player world or no? (ASA)

[tough yarrow]

Yes it would

[jagged imp]

Alr ty ty.

[tough yarrow]

Could even host one for free and play at the same time if your pc can handle it

[jagged imp]

I might possibly be able to but I'd rather not risk burning it out incase lol

[tough yarrow]

Valid XD

[jagged imp]

Frame gen being back is such a life saver but a dedicated server giving a bit extra boost would be ideal

Thanks for your fast reply!

[tough yarrow]

Yw

SP has a host of issues on its own regardless of performance, a dedi is preferred no matter what ^^

[umbral sun]

Anyone here familiar with moving ark sp files to a new device? I really really need a hand

[twilit dawn]

Does somebody know if the Tek Dinos are coming to the Old Maps too like in Ark Survival Evolved?

[tough yarrow]

Doesn't seem like it

[umbral sun]

Anyone know how to transfer ASE sp save files to another device? I tried doing what reddit and steam forum says but i keep getting crash, I really need a hand

[runic girder]

when does astraeos transfers open

[sick arrow]

Is it true that Lost Colony is coming in November, and for those who pre-order, in June?

[teal cliff]

Yes november but for all pre order is just some stuff those that pre order can use earlier

[tough yarrow]

You can pre-order it in June, but you won't be able to play the map until it releases in November

[teal cliff]

Wasnt pre order next month pr so

[tough yarrow]

Sec

[teal cliff]

Pre order is april just checked

[tough yarrow]

What am I remembering about June 😂

[umbral sun]

Can anyone help me 😭😭😭

[teal cliff]

June was the premium map apprentöy astraoes supposed to originally drop

[tough yarrow]

That might be it lmao

[teal cliff]

Np

[winged hamlet]

what did you try?

[umbral sun]

Managed to get TheIsland and LostIsland save files to work, the problem is i can't launch Fjordur without crashing

[winged hamlet]

try verifying?

[umbral sun]

Done that

[winged hamlet]

copying again?

[umbral sun]

Done that

Im trying to launch it again tho

[winged hamlet]

have any mods?

[umbral sun]

Yeah

But it works just fine on the other 2 map

[winged hamlet]

are they in the same load order as on the original

[umbral sun]

I forgot the load order

[winged hamlet]

depending on the mods in question the load order can matter

[umbral sun]

I know, i did put the more heavy mods on the top

[winged hamlet]

keep a separate copy saved and try loading the copy you have without mods

[umbral sun]

Okay

Ya mind if i tag you later for update?

[winged hamlet]

im at work so idk if i can reply then

if it loads fine without mods, it's a mod causing the issue

[umbral sun]

I can wait, i just want my save back

[slow rapids]

How do I get long grass and savor root without growing seeds

[indigo patrol]

arkkk

[winged hamlet]

trade with people who grow them

[young garnet]

Hello everyone! I still play Ark Survival envolved, and I have a big problem with my ark aberration: it seems that no hive spawns, I've been looking for 1 week now. Does anyone know what it could be? i Play in solo mode

[winged hamlet]

admin spawn one in?

[umbral sun]

Wait what would happen if the problem is indeed the mods, what should i do

[winged hamlet]

then i guess add them in one at a time until something breaks

[umbral sun]

I mainly use mods like s+, wouldn't there be major progress loss if i remove s+

[wintry fox]

there is your problem, bees and single player they don't mix well, the area has to be loaded for them to spawn, like what kristine said, probably spawning one is best

[winged hamlet]

yeah

thats the risk when you use mods on a game thats not updating anymore

[wintry fox]

you loose everything you build out of s+ stuff

so you could loose everything, or just a few things

[umbral sun]

It'll be everything

[wintry fox]

if you used s+ foundations, and they go poof, then stuff on them also goes poof

[umbral sun]

I build everything with s+

[winged hamlet]

but it is sp so you can use creative mode to replace everything

[wintry fox]

yeah, sorry then you will loose all that you built with S+

[umbral sun]

😭😭😭

[winged hamlet]

try removing everything except s+

[umbral sun]

But it works perfectly fine with other maps tho

[winged hamlet]

could be it didnt copy right

[umbral sun]

Ill try experimenting later

[fair igloo]

Are the terminals broken on extinction?? They are not there for me

[umbral sun]

I copied the entire Saved file so i didn't know what i did wrong

[umbral sun]

Which included the other 2 maps

[winged hamlet]

it's ase, it happens

[umbral sun]

😭😭😭

[winged hamlet]

look around at others or use a transmitter

[umbral sun]

Can you read crash logs?

[winged hamlet]

try experimenting with the mods

not really no

[wintry fox]

what you maybe could try is to load a new map (the one that is bugged) and then load that up, see if it wworks, then add S+, see if that works, and then copy the bugged save into that map, it probably won't fix it, but it's a possiblility @umbral sun

[winged hamlet]

did you build a huge base? with a lot of pieces and structures?

[umbral sun]

I build on a castle in fjordur but most of my stuff used mods, like s+, best eggs and stuff (i can't afford to lose my auto gacha farm)

[umbral sun]

Im lost

[winged hamlet]

keep the save file separate, then experiment with a copy of the save file

[umbral sun]

Ooh

[winged hamlet]

load up a fresh fjordur, add mods etc

[wintry fox]

what i mean is start a new fjordur game, add S+, if that works, then it's your save file.
what you can then try, is copy the old save file onto this new save file, it might fix it

[winged hamlet]

if you built a huge base, it could be that it just didnt copy right and something isnt loading right when you start it

ase is a bloated mess

[umbral sun]

Ooh i tried that b4 but with all the mods

It did work just fine

Then i tried replacing it with my old file and it crashed again

[umbral sun]

The only big structure i build is element gacha farm

[winged hamlet]

try removing mods until you just have s+, then try keeping the mods and removing s+

[umbral sun]

With the new or old save?

[winged hamlet]

with the copy of the save

copy it in, mess with that, that way the og save doesnt get messed with

[lime mountain]

GUYS I HAVE ANOTHER 700 GB UPDATE

WHAT THE FUCK DO I EVEN DO

[winged hamlet]

restart steam, try again, or reinstall the ehole thing

[umbral sun]

Aight

Ill update you later

[lime mountain]

yea i have to do this eveyr single patch?

beacuse this is the second time in 1 week

[potent mirage]

Are Ceratos spawn on SE ?

[wintry fox]

yes

[potent mirage]

okay, because my players cant find any S-Ceratos lol

May only unlucky

[winged hamlet]

idk about s cerato but normal ones spawn around the mountain between blue and green obelisk

[wintry fox]

the download is way smaller, after that you get a update (wich does the WHOLE game) that is why it looks so big, but 700 GB is too big for ASA, unless maybe you have many many many mods/mod maps, and or the devkit

[potent mirage]

the kit needs more, actually i think we have 800 - 850gb

and i hate devkit updates, but i love more content and features/ functions 😄

[wintry fox]

well i just checked my ark asa install directory is only 212 GB, so no idea where he gets his 700 GB from

[potent mirage]

may he was downloading the whole Curseforge Asa Custom Cosmetic Section

😄

[lime mountain]

nothing no mods installed and whats a devkit

my ark isntalled is only 200gb

[wintry fox]

so why are you saying it's 700 GB?

[lime mountain]

Tried to send you a photo ig u got dms off

it says update failed not enough space 200/730gb

[wintry fox]

i just checked, my "update" today said 562 GB, i have no idea why it is saying it's that much.
my install is 212
i know it needs kinda double the space to do an update, and the actual update file was just a few hundred megs to download today.

so you might need more free space on your disk, and no i don't know why it's that much, it's a steam/udate thing

[tight fossil]

Morning all! Anyone making Rhygnios on Astraeos? I tried 2 yesterday, but both killed my tame and haven't born... I had no problems b4...

[kindred wind]

When's rag coming

[oak cedar]

stop just be happy they are giving you more dlc's to buy no questions please

[reef igloo]

Please someone look into the new fucking crash exploit on ASE.

[oak cedar]

dead game makes them no money good luck my friend

[rugged junco]

Anyone looking for hyenas I have some available

[half idol]

Did they remove the tether option to adjust it for asa non dedicated servers?

[safe coral]

guys where can i find deinosuchus saddle bp
i couldnt find em in any supply crate all over the island
is there a specific artifact cave

[umbral sun]

Update: i managed to get it working but i reduced all my mods to the 3 most important one

[winged hamlet]

then yeah, something in there didn't copy right or something bugged

[umbral sun]

Can i add the mods back or?

[wintry fox]

i would say make a new copy, and try?

[rapid karma]

So wait let me get this straight

There’s gonna be a new dlc exclusive to ASE? Like that genuinely better not be true lol

That would be the most monumentally indefensible thing snail has ever done

I feel for y’all devs man this is insanity

[wintry fox]

yeah it's the first company ever to bring out a dlc for a old game ever, why can't they do it?

[tough yarrow]

There aren't anymore dlcs for ASE

[umbral sun]

Works perfectly fine, thank god

Thanks so much @winged hamlet and @wintry fox yall really came in clutch

[rapid karma]

Oh come on they made a remaster you had to pay for that is a straight upgrade, killed all the servers and killed the game. And I was alright with it because ASA is a straight upgrade save for performance. And now they bring out a dlc for a worse version? What, I have to install and people have to buy both? It’s impossible to defend this.

[rapid karma]

Then what is Aquatica

[tough yarrow]

Where are you seeing that there's a dlc for ASE

[tough yarrow]

Literally no one knows lol all they gave was a name. That's all the info anyone has.

[rapid karma]

Nope

There’s more

[wintry fox]

isn't that a ASA map?

[tough yarrow]

There's nothing in #announcements where the original post came from and nothing on Snails Twitter

[rapid karma]

It’s straight up mentioned as “a new DLC for Ark: Survival Evolved” in snails presskit

It’s in a presskit I’ll dm it to you

[tough yarrow]

[rapid karma]

I wish I was lying

But it seems to be true and not a typo either

The logo looks like ASE and not ASA and ASA is repeatedly mentioned correctly. It’s even said WC is fully in charge of ASA and will remain developing it (while snail milks ASE I guess)

So yeah no shade to WC from this but gahdamn snail coming in with another banger

[tough yarrow]

I'd wait for more info personally

[wintry fox]

and i still don't understand why bringing out a new DLC for a OLD game is such a problem

[rapid karma]

Dude

[wintry fox]

if you don't play ase anymore, you can ignore it, if you do play it, you get something new

[rapid karma]

It’s the same game but straight upgraded

It’s a remaster

[wintry fox]

not everyone can run asa

[rapid karma]

You can’t give both games exclusive features

[wintry fox]

so getting something new for ase isn't that bad is it?

[rapid karma]

Okay that’s good and all but then why give ASE exclusive dlcs

[wintry fox]

why not, asa also has them

[rapid karma]

Then make it for the remaster too and I got zero complaints

[rapid karma]

because ASA is the new ark version

ASA is the remaster. “The future of ark” as they said. And ASE would receive no more updates, as they also said.

but now we have to buy both full price games to get exclusive dlcs to both like make it make sense 😭

[wintry fox]

you don't HAVE to

you are NOT forced to do that

[rapid karma]

😩

If you want the full experience

[wintry fox]

i can agree it would suck, sure, but there is no have to

[rapid karma]

Of course

It’s just weird to purposefully kill a game to go to the remaster, which honestly I didn’t care much for personally, and then backtracking and releasing a dlc for it

Are they gonna run official servers for it?

Who knows maybe it’ll be both ASE and ASA but I doubt it. If so that’s huge, but I’m not so hopeful

[minor skiff]

when come ragnarok

[umbral sun]

New problem encountered, why did my lower part of my screen turn black when i open my inventory

[fierce robin]

cuz ur playing ascended instead of evolved lol

[mental minnow]

why isn’t ark aquatica coming to asa

[fierce robin]

cuz its poo

and bc ase has more daily players

[rapid karma]

Actual insanity

[fierce robin]

i payed 40 bucks for it on release trust me ik

[wintry fox]

i didn't, so trust me

[fierce robin]

good choice

we shouldve gotten a full overhaul for ase

theyre pulling an overwatch

[mental minnow]

have they talked about ue5.5 update?

[fierce robin]

since u brought it up theyll never talk about it they hate listening

[mental minnow]

I think thats a reason why they should add it to asa

[fierce robin]

what would really save the game is some of the best console optimization ever it looks like a smashed grape

most ppl on pc cant even enjoy it they shouldve delayed it and worked longer

[rapid karma]

No lol overwatch 2 is free, and overwatch 1 is offline. Ow 2 is just a big ow 1 update. This is like if they made ow2 a not free game, kept ow1 online but said it’ll get no more updates and then proceeded to release 3 new heroes and a new map for the old one only

[fierce robin]

i know, what i was getting at was when overwatch got called overwatch 2 everyone didnt like it and wanted the old stuff back, which is kinda where ark is rn

[spring flower]

which is better evolved or ascended??

[wintry fox]

ascended, after having played both, the graphics do look a lot better, and has quite a few improvements on QOL. but it needs beefier setup, and is not yet as much modded as ase

[spring flower]

thank 's buddie

[alpine remnant]

What the hell is aquatica

[analog spear]

No idea who said that Ark Aquatica should be released and claimed that it's not a good idea. Slowly, it's becoming hard to take Ark/Snail Games seriously when they seem to be releasing stuff for the old game. I hope ASA manages to find new modders someday and that those with communication issues finally let go. Nikatus seems to be the only person implementing things. Why can't ASA promise things only when they are feasible? You're harming yourselves more than anyone else by trying to release Ark Aquatica. You have a strange team, and even though I like the game, you don't need to damage it further. No disrespect intended, but... Idk what to say more

[analog spear]

Ark Aquatica dlc for ase feels like Astreos Atlantis

[grim fable]

I wonder if it will get ported to asa and if so.. will they charge for it? Didn't they say all ase dlc would be free in asa?

[fair wyvern]

that was stated before snail decided to wait over a year after asa’s release to go back and announce a new DLC for evolved lol. i highly doubt it’ll come to asa

[grim fable]

This is just gonna split the player base more

I don't see any reason for it except money (since ase has more players)

Are they giving up on asa? This is a horrible look

[fair wyvern]

this is specifically snail trying to get more money from ase players. wildcard is still focusing on asa (and ark 2 technically) only

[grim fable]

Thank God for that.

Still not a good look on snails end

[analog spear]

Hopefully

[wintry fox]

they said, all current map dlc's would be free, but that is not the same as all dlc's for free

[winged plover]

There's no way the aquatica dlc can be for ASE, it says PC Xbox and PS5. ASE was never released on PS5

[ancient thicket]

Guys when will the next map be released ? Is it expected this month or delayed yet again

[teal swan]

Do you think that at some point Studio Wildcard will be able to free itself from the clutches of Snail Games?

[fair wyvern]

ragnarok is scheduled for april

[ancient thicket]

Of corse 🥲

September 2024 they said

[alpine remnant]

Aquatica ain't coming to ps4 is it

That sucks

[twilit dawn]

Where can I find my skins I got from Club Ark on SP?

[round linden]

You have to earn them from ClubArk Single Player

[twilit dawn]

I earned them in Club Ark but i cant find them on other maps like The Island.

[round linden]

They should be in cosmetics on right side. if they don't show up kill your self and respawn and see if they show up then...

[twilit dawn]

okay, i will give it a try.

[grim fable]

Unless they drop ase for ps5..... maybe they're desperate enough to drop it for people to buy for 'the nostalgia'

Or they release it as a standalone on consoles

[floral pasture]

Regardless, you are still able to play ASE on them and that’s where the Aquatica dlc map is getting launched on.

[frank cedar]

are tek quetzals in ASA ?

[winged plover]

Loaded crisis is saying the video might be from a Switch. That would explain the graphics.

[floral pasture]

Regardless, Aquatica is considered an official map.

And the first official and canon map that will launch without official support.

What a mess. No doubt they will port it .

[grim fable]

I'm not going back to evolved. I'll play this when/if it's ported to asa

[tough yarrow]

Backwards compatability exists for Evolved. It is playable on both PS5 and PS4.

[winged plover]

You can play any PS4 game on a PS5, doesn't make it a "PS5 release"

[tough yarrow]

Regardless of their wording, it'll be playable on ASE on Playstation.

[twilit dawn]

@round linden Its working, thanks.

[round linden]

Thats the way it works on Official also...

[plain kernel]

Wait wait i know im late but ur saying tgat aquatica will be on ase on ps4.r u sure?

[tough yarrow]

Thats what it says in the leaked docs and in raasclark's video

[plain kernel]

Well i watched raasclarks vid but i was not sure of it.anyways thanks for telling

[dusky ore]

Is the art they've shown us for Aquatica AI generated?

the diver's hands only have four fingers in one of the pics

[still terrace]

why the hell do raptors have so little weight mn

man

[hexed ocean]

server maintenance ?

[vestal geyser]

servers being updated #patch-notes

[hexed ocean]

iam always confused if/when people write "fixed " before things happening 😛 in other games you get a note in dc = we will make maintenance at XX time , and after there done, you see fixed : XY .

[hybrid musk]

Hello, this is the official Ark chat
?

[glacial ermine]

that new aquatic map should be for asa as well

[spiral pond]

How they guna release a new map for ase, when there has been 10 years of ongoing problems with the game? It's so broken.

[glacial ermine]

instead of ase they should bring it to asa

[spiral pond]

I agree. Why bring it to a game that no longer gives support

[dusky ore]

because snail games wants more money

and selling this map will give them more money

[glacial ermine]

it would get more fans interested if it was on asa and why didnt they do it when ase was blowing up

[spiral pond]

Even now with ASA. They can't simply issue an update w/o causing a chain reaction and breaking everything. If they want money they should sell to someone that can run a business better lol

[dusky ore]

because snail games doesn't do anything if they don't have to

they're not the main developers, they just publish the game wildcard makes

[glacial ermine]

the logic is out the window with this one

[dusky ore]

wildcard is no longer working on ASE, so snail games is using old and reused assets to make Aquatica

with generative AI so they don't have to pay artists

wildcard has nothing to do with Aquatica

[glacial ermine]

this aquatic map could of been a great dlc after lost colony

[lime mango]

I wonder how many idiots are gonna buy Aquatica. I assume alot of idiots 😂 😂

[still terrace]

best ark map in ase (withouth the expansion maps) imo Fjordur or Ragnarok

[glacial ermine]

honestly i think everyone moved to asa so making a new map for ase seems very pointless now if it was soon it would of been better

[dusky ore]

well, snail games most likely spent next to nothing on the map

considering they used AI, anything is profit for them

[still terrace]

nah there are much ppl playing ase cuz we dont got the hardware to be able to run asa

[glacial ermine]

dont get me wrong the map itself haves potential but it would of been better use on asa or both versions of the game

[still terrace]

both

but why do reddit and ytbers say its gonna be a whole new game

[dusky ore]

because they're dumb and incorrect

[still terrace]

damn

[rare ridge]

The map Aquatica as shown so far has zero new assets, some of the new creatures are from Atlas, and the key art uses gen AI.

[glacial ermine]

hooefully someone could make a creature mod pack of the creatures for asa atleast

[rare ridge]

Snail Games is a joke and I wish Wildcard a very "I'm sorry about that"

[lime mango]

Most of the creatures on Astraeos are from Atlas. Medusa, Cyclops and Seahorse in the mod. Those are from atlas

[mossy basin]

Being made by Snailgames
Idk
I genuinely don’t think they have what it takes to meet ASA standards

Snailgames has a pretty crappy rep for their own
Games
And after this long AND after explicitly stating they’re done with evolved
I don’t like the idea of aquatica
Not looking forward
Clown emote insert
But lost colony Ik mega-hyped for
Check out Raas’s video if you haven’t already; sums it up very well

[rare ridge]

I know.
Nekatus isn't Snail Games, though, so this comparison is a false equivalence for multiple reasons.

[dusk compass]

I doubt the ASE devkit will get an upgrade with these new creatures added, but who knows. you never know with WC n Snail.

[lime mango]

I have no problem Nekatus using Atlas stuff. I'm acutally happy he is. Hoping he will use flame elemental from atlas.

[mossy basin]

I have hopes for lost colony
In fact I’m like mega hyped for it
The aquatica reveal is a flat out joke compared to it

[still terrace]

so aquatica will be only water? LAMEEE

[lime mango]

I agree even if Aquatica was made for ASA I wouldn't buy it if made by Snailgames. No chance.

[rare ridge]

I also have no problem with Nekatus using Atlas stuff.

I have a problem with Snail Games pretending they're doing something new when they aren't and putting zero effort into it.

[mossy basin]

I mean if you use ur head, what did you expect

[still terrace]

will lost colony be ase or asa

[mossy basin]

Asa

That I know

[dusky ore]

aquatica is snail games crying and wanting to beat their dead cash cow but still not wanting to put any effort into actually making something good

[still terrace]

ye but like do we get infinite oxygen??

[mossy basin]

Idk
It’s Snailgames
They’re shit at making games
Watch Raas’ video, I’m not a wiki, bro

[dusk compass]

Im more curious what they will announce this weeks CC, 5.5 & changes and optimizations

[lime mango]

100% agree. Sadly theres gonna be alot of stupid people who will buy this crap from Snail. Not a single person should buy it and show Snailgames & Wildcard we don't want any rubbish from Snail.

[lucid lotus]

Just tamed a level 49 Brontosaurus when lvl 40, are they good?

[mossy basin]

I just hope the best for wildcard and nitrado with the unfortunately petty hacker attacks
My tribe isn’t gonna be returning to our Abb playthrough until that gets resolved

[dusk compass]

At Farming berries very good.

[lucid lotus]

Do I need a saddle for that? If so what level?

[dusk compass]

yeah lvl 63. GL

[lucid lotus]

dang

[main marlin]

What a nice way how to make sure the server doesn't crash - don't allow people to connect - "The destination server doesn't allow Survivor downloads".. Again 🥲

[lucid lotus]

I only got a brontosaurus (taming) a Dilo lvl 59 and a Moschops lvl 97

:/

[glacial ermine]

whats your guys thoughts on that bat like creature in lost colony

[dusk compass]

You will need to get an Otter and a Rex. crafting gives quite some XP and kill alpha Raptors with bows. ( might wanna trap them first, or trap yourself)

[still swift]

Why does my map reset and my cosmetics ?

Why does my map reset and my cosmetics ?

[lucid lotus]

Ok

[glacial ermine]

whos ready for ragnarok

[dusk compass]

5.5 and improvements first pls

[glacial ermine]

hopefully they come at the same time

[faint kayak]

guys, whats a good server rn, on windows

[dusk compass]

Nop hopefully 5.5 comes, then patches to fix the bugs the main game has currently. Then when its more stable release Ragnarok. I would love to play the map Right now. but dealing with all the issues stopped me from playing ark.

[main marlin]

@azure pine are you checking the servers that failed to update and are transfer-closed for an hour now?

[cunning kernel]

Given that Tharat is 97% complete this is a map we should have got as a paid DLC. Even if alongside Astraeos. Don't get me wrong Nekatus work has always been on point but releasing it when it's not even half done did more damage than good. Tharat and Forglar imo are the 2 maps that should have been considered first especially Tharat

[dusky ore]

nah i think it did more good than harm

when the island first launched it didn't even have a snow biome

nekatus is continuing a proud tradition

[fair wyvern]

the horror

literally unplayable

[cunning kernel]

@heavy cedar @proven grove regardless of what else happens when crystal Isles comes out can we pretty please have the crystal variants like the original? 🙏

[flint elm]

Hey. Does anyone know if there are any mods that are known to make certain creature polygonal? I have had this issue for quite some time and I can’t figure out which of my mods are causing it.

[distant heath]

I hate how old ark survival doesnt work on New phones
-_-

[cunning kernel]

I'm familiar lol. But as a franchise it was a baby at that point not a 10 year old production and there are other maps that deserve the recognition for how good they are. As I said Nekatus work has always been on point but his other work wasn't released with big chunks missing so I feel he has had a major injustice and new players could potentially see it as a negative against the creator

[cunning kernel]

Try using command r.Streaming.PoolSize 0

Helped me when I had it

[dusky ore]

all he has to do to not make players feel that way is finish the map in a timely manner

the map as it is already has more content than most finished maps, and it has no memory leaks

[cunning kernel]

I agree to an extent but the issues for some players come from it being a chargeable DLC. I mean, people don't buy a car that's 30% built lol

[glacial ermine]

ragnarok is the next map right?

[flint elm]

That didn’t work. They still look polygonal.

[dusky ore]

players will always have gripes about paying for dlc so I'm not sure the point of bringing it up

battle passes, subscriptions, expansions, season passes, these are all widely-known things that players spend money on even when they don't get 100% of the content right away

[flint elm]

Does this command work for console singleplayer? I think I have tried it before and it didn’t work then either.

[tough yarrow]

Yeah it does for some and doesn't for others

[flint elm]

Are there any other command I could try to fix this issue?

[tiny pendant]

So what is ark aquatica?

[tough yarrow]

Try
r.streaming.fullyloadusedtextures 1

[balmy condor]

When did gigabite from deinosuchus will work again omg..

[flint elm]

That didn’t work either. Anything else?

[tough yarrow]

Uhhhh

Not that I know of atm

[flint elm]

Ok. Do you know if any mods could be causing this issue? I notice when no mods are activated then the creatures are fine.

[tough yarrow]

Yeah, especially if you're on series s

[silent matrix]

hello guys i have question i am playing map fjordur and there is some kind of sign in right down corner? idk what is it?

[tough yarrow]

Probably runes, collect them for xp

[silent matrix]

its red and why do i lose hunger so fast?

[flint elm]

I am on the series x. I just don’t know which mod it may be. The only map that this isn’t an issue on from what I have seen is Abberation.

[tough yarrow]

Is it this?
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Runes

The more you run around, the more you lose hunger. Also fjordur is freezing, could be losing health a little

[tough yarrow]

Remove and re-add them one by one to test

[silent matrix]

is it just on fjordur the more i run i lose hunger? if i walk will it drain slower?

[tough yarrow]

It's on every map, if you walk you don't use stamina, so your hunger drains slower

[silent matrix]

but this is like from 93 to 80 in few steps

[cunning kernel]

The comment wasn't about paying for DLC as I bought it because of my admiration and support of Nekatus, the issue for many is making a purchase that is so far from completion with as many issues but again back to my original point is that maps such as Tharat that are all but complete should be considered for the same recognition and added to the DLC roster imo

[flint elm]

Are there any in particular that are known for causing this issue? I want to see about that before potentially losing all of my creatures.

[cunning kernel]

I believe its also biome dependent along with your fortitude

[silent matrix]

o ok

[steady cloud]

is manticore immune to wyvern breath attacks?

[cunning kernel]

No, many use lightning wyverns if they don't have high rex

[steady cloud]

Nice! thanks bro

[cunning kernel]

Just make sure the ones with no riders have AI attacks on

And don't use poison as you can kill yourself lol

[tough yarrow]

You can try testing on a separate map first

[steady cloud]

Yeah, learned that on first poison wyvern of ase lol also the dismount after triggering lighting attack. Instant KO

[flint elm]

All of my maps have a lot of progress on them. Maybe I can see about downloading a modded map, but I don’t know if just the fact that it is modded will cause the same issue.

you may need hide/fur armor or to get inside a building

[silent matrix]

im currently inside building and im using starter armor (from fiber) on fjordur

finnaly not losing i died few times bc of cold

[fair wyvern]

fjordur is notoriously colder than most other maps, definitely want to get some hide/fur asap. may need to rely on a few standing torches to keep you warm until then

[stiff surge]

Does anyone know when they will release the item to another card ( map Astro)

[lament acorn]

any ideas how to get overseer done with just 2 people? 🙂 we got dinos but i dont even know how to do the arena boss with just 2 people

was thinking could do carchas until the teleporter then uncryo rexes but i guess that doesnt work

[silent matrix]

yeah using torch rn thanks anyway whats fastest way to level up?

[hidden tartan]

anyone know why i carnt see anything inside of boxs etc and missing menu to build stuff ???????

is it a bug or can i turn something on to fix it

[fair wyvern]

crafting cooking pots is probably gonna be your best bet early game

[fluid musk]

Whats the best dino that can be harvested for a hide farm?

[tight fossil]

ovis

[fluid musk]

okay thanks

[silent matrix]

ok

[lime gate]

Any admins? , about the contest, you can't send screenshots multiple times, it means that I can't send my photo 1 time and then send others, but I can send for example 2 photos in a single message? or is it just 1 photo?

[whole palm]

actually taming an rockgolem and i miss 1 hit ... anyway i can reset the tame process to have 100% effectivness?
i mean i hit 1 hit on the body

is not knocked out

still awake

[grim coral]

Theris with cakes rexes yuti and tek suits with tek rifle. Up to 50 dinos. Cars for clearing ot if on tek suits fly past and get cars to go in lava. If no tek then just use cars unpod rexes. Not sure why rexes wont work we used them many times bringnplenty of meat as they get hungry fast. You can honestly solo it.

[tribal sierra]

Is the new dlc for ase a real thing

[lament acorn]

can cars unpod the rexes? flying past sounds good i dont get the cars in lava thing tho? never tried the cars hehe

[carmine helm]

you can solo tek cave with tek suit cactus broth and 298% shotgun and 1800+ shells. for cave traversal you cand do carcha or you can glide down in glider suit

[grim coral]

Cars as in carch sorry lol. You can agro a giga sorry and fly above lava with a teksuit. My brain is non functional today. Method from wb above is good too.

[lament acorn]

Aww, i thought the cars had an actual use!

[mystic pelican]

Tek suit didn't use to work in cave section, just arena. It can now?

[elfin dagger]

A trike just attacked me and my savertooth for no reason

[static aspen]

Is there anywhere i can buy stuff?

[cosmic blaze]

Use carchas down to bottom.

Uncryo a bunch of rexes and have them follow each other into arena

Might lose a few off the cliff

Take lots of health potions and make sure to have ascended flak for arena.

Take some soups to keep from getting dehydrated or hungry too fast.

Use Gilly suit while in top part of cave and have some Fur armor for the cold area then flak at bottom

Don't mess around too much. I think the time is like 1 hour to complete it

[grave shore]

I regret tazing a thyla with an electro prod after getting pounced by one

[slow rapids]

Is there a bind on controller to auto mount ur pyromane from your shoulder?

[mossy path]

Hi , any command that can make my weight 1000? Or like the number i want bec i need more weight and leveling up is so slow

[charred oyster]

You could use the command 'Admincheat addexperience #' i believe it is

[mossy path]

That is for points right? Level points i mean , if i did this command would it affect my level???

[charred oyster]

You must be riding the tame while using the command it will only affect your tames level as long as you are mounted

[mossy path]

Oh , i need smth for my points and not affect my levels tho , i would use this ty!

[charred oyster]

Say you were adding 1k xp you would nead to put the command 'admincheat addexperience 1000 0 1'

I had typed it wrong the first time

[slow rapids]

?

[charred oyster]

I dont think there is however if you hold square on playstation then you should get an option

[mossy path]

Okk np , ty for helping!

[slow rapids]

Ye ik about the menu one was just curious since ik u can put it back on ur shoulder via right stick and r1

[shadow epoch]

would anyone be interested in a PVP ASE server(PLAYSTATION only) me and some friends are wanting to play a pvp server so im going to buy one if we can get enough players. so if at all interested please dm me. we havent bought one yet but we will as soon as we get some more people onboard we will all start the server at the same time so no one will be behind

[mental minnow]

does anyone know an alternative to all dino allow guns mod in asa?

[teal holly]

Ark evolved or ark ascended?

[shadow epoch]

ase

[surreal hull]

Anyone know how long 3x will last ?

[glacial ermine]

lost colony is gonna be scary imagine walking around with red lights everywhere and turn a corner to see the megaraptor or something running at you

[tender cypress]

what kind of kibble do anky's prefer?

[polar token]

Is this game just garbage-performance on AMD hardware?

or is there some secret setting tweaks or mods I can use to get above 50 fps

[maiden geode]

ASE cross platform question. i host a server on my server PC and normally play on my gaming PC, but i want to join on my switch when im at work, is that possible or is the switch not able to use the cross platform system

[polar token]

and what is up with input lag? just cursory google search tells me this game has MASSIVE issues with input lag

[stone moat]

my 190 char is missing gone what am i supposed to do i think it deleted itself somehow i know for a fact where it was i always write it down and i even just went to every single ext server to make sure but its gone

[storm timber]

So I noticed they mentioned exotic tames with Lost Colony, does that mean we’ll get new tames with map?

[tough yarrow]

Sounds like it yeah

[storm timber]

Thank you, everyone else usually ignore my questions, you always seem to answer them, means a lot.

[thick walrus]

ASA is newer both are pretty much the same in every other way tho

[ruby otter]

I love the QoL ASA has in the base game.

[fading ice]

it has no issues on AMD RDNA2/3 at least, specifically

[tawny wadi]

Anyone know how to slow down rocks and trees from growing back in an area?

[fading ice]

you cant slow them, specifically. structures block them entirely

[thick walrus]

I believe you can

Its under enivorment or something no?

[fading ice]

not for a single area, just globally

[thick walrus]

Oh yeah area no

[tawny wadi]

Ah. Figured this. Thank you

[tawny wadi]

Yea. That's what I was looking for.

[deft spade]

Hi

[ashen orbit]

well I tried man I dont everything

[polar token]

So with a Ryzen 7 7700X and a Radeon RX 9070XT (32gb ram with the game and OS on SSDs) should i be getting more than 50-60 fps on medium settings with a bunch of console commands entered to demolish game quality to try to improve performance? --- honestly the thing I am having the hardest time with is in the input lag. It is visually noticable how sluggish the response time on mouse movement is.

[fading ice]

cant even hazard a guess without knowing resolution and ram specs/config, but the delay is from framegen. you can disable it

[ashen orbit]

for some reason my charcter wont move or anything like that

i dont know what going on but for some reason its not even for me

[ashen orbit]

like come on man

I dont think there going to fix this man

and also i to play the ark island but not sroche earth

[maiden quest]

@molten horizon DM

[mental minnow]

50-60 fps on a 9070xt? double check your settings there is no way my 1660 super can get the same fps as you on medium settings

i get unbearable fps drops but it can reach 60 at my base

[torn summit]

Lord knows man that shit has been out for a good while and it’s been hella annoying

[sudden comet]

Hello. bio grinder work in pve?

[pine spade]

is this new update for ASE coming to consoles to or just PC?

[supple notch]

Guys wtf is snail doing now

[sullen gust]

anyone seen the ark aquatica trailer

[supple notch]

Its the worse ive seen

[sullen gust]

they showed a big iddle finger to gaming indstry with that slop

[supple notch]

Talk all the garbage about wildcard but dear god they look amazing in comparison to snail

Atleast wildcard gives us decent maps and good trailers

And custom dinos, rather than reused atlas assets

I was excited at first but now im probably never going to play the evolved map now

(Sorry for the rant)

[sullen gust]

rant is necessary rght now

[pine spade]

my question is is it PC only

[sullen gust]

no its for consoles as well

[pine spade]

perfect i was gonna say consoles really ned a overhual hope the update brings stability to

free expansion or paid expansion?

[fading ice]

considering snail is making it? paid. and definitely not an overhaul

[pine spade]

godammit lol

[fading ice]

really nothing to do for stability on last gen consoles, either. most of it is from them using hard drives for storage, and the hilariously slow CPUs

[pine spade]

yea im on a ps5 and ASE runs like dogshit

[fading ice]

🤔 ASE runs perfectly on PS5, or should. it is silly overkill for the game

[pine spade]

ASA runs better at this point

[fading ice]

something weird is up there. performance, or the visuals?

[pine spade]

just overa;; crahes lol i cant play ab more then 5minutes without crashing

genssis part 2 100% crash at boss caves, switching maps crashes the game

only started happening the final year of its life cycle

[burnt gulch]

#FreeWildcard

[past geode]

it's ok to ask about ASE server hosting here right? I'm just trying to find out which server host I should use for 6 people to play on without mods and good server performance for a decent price. I normally used G-Portal in the past but it's down rn so not sure what else is good

[rigid swift]

input delay might be the camera smoothing in 3rd person, try changing the camera to 'tight' in settings, it still kind of swings around instead of following the mouse 1:1 but its an improvement. if the input lag is in 1st person then i got no idea

[zenith trout]

Just watched the Ark Aquatica Official Trailer.... completely nauseated... are you kidding.. and AI generated trailer???? and a poorly done one at that? Watch fast before they take it down, and make sure to leave comments. Im just glad Ive left this crap behind.. and wont be back for this travesty when it launches!

[paper smelt]

am i the only one with problems on steam where my game would redownload itself every patch?

[wintry matrix]

Anyone else crash?

[zenith trout]

Common issue, especially frustrating when you have a slow connection.

[paper smelt]

😔

[ashen orbit]

Should just get my self just a new ram card?!

[fading ice]

that.. depends on a lot of things. like what problems you are having and what you think a "ram card" is

[ashen orbit]

Well the keeps my character from walking for no reason when played scorche earth asa

and some how made it playable when I tried to play it on unfifical server and offcial server but for some resason this game is doesnt even want to let play because my pc

The game has been crashing out me for no reason and it was making stay in one place like couldnt move I killed by some tiny dinsaur

and also this game company hasnt even fix anything at all

I dont know about ark 2 but the only reason why that game is coming because van diseal

[mossy path]

Is there any keep inventory command?

[ashen orbit]

And I dont think this game is for me because its only for people with very good pc

[fading ice]

i dont think any entire maps are based on a specific region, but sections of some are..
ragnarok's highlands are based on ireland's coasts, from what i can tell. redwoods (most accurate from any map) are north california. viking bay seems to be pretty generic and unspecific..

a lot of scorched earth and rag desert is american southwest or northern mexico, in terms of terrain and plants

[ashen orbit]

I even tryied to program and the mother board and nothing worked

[fading ice]

valguero's chalk is an interesting one.. it looks african, but i am not sure if it is based on a real biome

[fading ice]

no idea what you are talking about, looks like a ton of omitted info. if the game is crashing, post the crashlogs in #bobs-with-probs

[vital hinge]

servers go boom ???

[glad nacelle]

Guys

Anybody know what the best Dino is for underwater caves?

I wanna absolutely demolish them even if it takes 10 hrs to tame

[outer widget]

20 xiphs

[peak grove]

anyone got an idea of how much the engine update planned for ark this month is actually gonna affect the game?
like is it genuinely gonna bring a lot of optimization or are we not even gonna notice it happened

[hollow viper]

asking for some help how can i fix blur map when i press on the M key ?

[cunning kernel]

Lost island map isn't a real location but is Tamriel from the elder scrolls series though

[cunning kernel]

r.Streaming.PoolSize 0

[prisma roost]

A friend of mine has a serious bug where she doesn't see new items or the contents of inventories, she has already killed her character, created a new survivor, reinstalled the game, freed up space and also restarted her PC, but nothing helped. Can someone please help us and if possible suggest a possible solution?

[cyan moon]

I did notice this on a couple of things for me when it bugs. For some reason the inventories I open have a folder on top. One that says crafting and one that says inventory. Easy to overlook when your not used to seeing it.

[cunning kernel]

If this is ASA then check the drop down menu under the inventory and make sure its set to all items and not something you rarely carry

[wispy pollen]

can someone help me with hosting a free servr that will be online 24/7 without keeping my pc on? or if there r any new servers im happy to join

[hollow viper]

but my fps will lost

[cunning kernel]

Doesn't affect my fps but if that's gonna cause you an issue then unfortunately you have to make a choice. Slightly lower fps or a blurry map lol

[hollow viper]

thank you and i think i found a way to fix it already

[jagged imp]

Is there a way to fix this silly ASA flickering lighting? Not sure if its an issue with lumen or not. (Illumination setting is on medium currently)

[dire tendon]

Ark will never be fully optimised its coded so bad it loads shaders as u render stuff 💀

[thick vortex]

when will ark 2 drop?

[jade pike]

no one knows

[versed oxide]

What alternative fix did you find for this?

[signal sage]

guys why i see in my screen very dark while its sun i had this glitch from yestarday

[rose elk]

any fix for astraeos "You Don't own this map" ?

[oak cedar]

buy it again

[winged hamlet]

try hard reset on the xbox. hold the power button down until it turns off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on

[golden bluff]

Bruh what is happening in Ark

[exotic folio]

so how are angry people about aquaitca?

[winged hamlet]

how angry are they or why are they angry?

[exotic folio]

how angry

[tame comet]

Burn snail games into the ground🔥🔥🔥

[exotic folio]

he

genuinley laughing my ass off

how can a company be so braindead

[tame comet]

Person who had the idea needs to be fired and banned from the industry

[exotic folio]

nah

they need a public exacution

[fossil zenith]

is there a mod for duplicating anything in the player's inventory , like duplicating a rex dinoball?

[dawn flame]

The dinoball mod can do that in the admin recovery section on the Dino depot item.

[fossil zenith]

how

I entered the admin recovery section , but there isn't any buttons for duplicatinng the dinoball

[wind aurora]

I need to apply for a job at Snail. I have a load of bad/ meme ideas. E.g NFT Dinos, Battle Passes, Turning drops into loot boxes

[dawn flame]

I’m pretty sure that the Rex must be put in a dinoball for the Dino depot to register it in admin recovery. Try doing that and putting in the Dino depot

[dire tendon]

Why angry ?

[exotic folio]

Check out rassclarks video

[slow rapids]

How do u check who imprinted a fully grown dino

[tough yarrow]

Says it under the level/info in the inventory

[slow rapids]

Where it says raised by I assume?

[tough yarrow]

Yes (not my image)

[slow rapids]

Sweet cheers

[languid elm]

Absolute slop of a trailer. So glad no force on this earth will get me to redownload ASE. No thank you to sloppy AI crusted cash grab trash.

[exotic folio]

ikr

[languid elm]

So funny they delisted the trailer

Because they are getting hammered for it. They deserve it

[exotic folio]

well back to real peak gaming

grounded i still have to gamble for this dumb antis

[languid elm]

Back to an alive game rather than a dead one lol

[exotic folio]

so question are we still experiencing ddos attacks?

if only aquatica was for asa i would've loved some of the new ocean dudes

concept is cool just it's done by snail games

and if we take a look at their past in game development

[tame comet]

I also cant be bothered to waste 440gb on ase

[signal sage]

guys why it is extremely dark i tried the gamma one it still not working i need help i cant play (btw its also when its sunny day)

[tame comet]

Isnt the higher the gamma is the lighter ut gets?

So gamma 2 is lighter than 1?

[signal sage]

yep

why icant send image

[tame comet]

Oh i thought you meant tried gamma 1
You meant "the gamma one"

[signal sage]

yep

[tame comet]

I cant help you with that sorry

[main dune]

@peak finch
Can you please convince Snail Games to sell the Ark franchise/IP along with your studio?
Snail Games can't be the future of Ark, otherwise, it will cause the game to stand in a pretty bad light and die.
I'm pretty sure that publishers like Tencent, Microsoft, Sony, or even smaller ones like Take Two or Epic Games would welcome you with open arms.

[unique kayak]

I thought DayZ was hard but my god Ark is rough lol. Even on the basic starter map i'm consistently getting my ass kicked by those little tiny ground dinos or being pecked apart by any number of birds lol.

[stiff dust]

All ima say is I feel bad for you wildcard. I really really feel bad for you guys

Keep up with the best work you can with asa.

[sage loom]

I honestly wonder what shock the ASE modding community will feel when it releases. It's already something that we feel whenever a big content update hits, but this map boasts an even higher number of new creatures, mechanics, and items, and is being developed by a completely different team.

[peak grove]

ong im just hoping itll fix it to the point i can actually run it 😭

[silent matrix]

Why are people upset ase is getting a new map?

[sage loom]

Because it is not just "new content!"

• The game stopped development, giving modders stability. A new content update disrupts that.
• It is developed by Snailgames, not Wildcard.
• AI generated bullshit.

[silent matrix]

Thats fair enough

not sure as to why they dont just fix issues in ASE

Or they can simply give love to ASE and ASA

Focus on ASA release the maps

Then fix some issues on ASE

[sage loom]

Because they jumped ship to ASA, it costs a ton of extra time to work on two games at the same time, but they discover that ASE still draws in a higher player count

[silent matrix]

So they are realising now ASE is just

[sage loom]

ASE was meant to be a sinking ship to make people mvoe on to ASA

[silent matrix]

Better

[sage loom]

But rather than sinking, they discovered that the sea wasn't very deep and the ship won't submerge

[silent matrix]

They made the other game too big to run, too buggy

If i bought ASA, id be pissed off too lol.

[sage loom]

It's honestly hilarious how bad the game runs

[silent matrix]

ASE is tolerable imo iv a gaming laptop its nothing special

But ASA is just more

Pretty its like putting a bodykit on a honda and its only pushing 50 horsepower

[sage loom]

And of coursea big problem is that it is only natural for a game that lasts 8 years of constant development to be kinda bad internally. They promised ASA would be made from the ground up, but it isn't

So the devs didn't get the opportunity to learn from their time on ASE, because ASA is just a ported ASE

[silent matrix]

Yeah

Me personally glad ASE is getting a new map

Its a new experience

But id rather they polish up ASE

Then move onto ASA

[eager owl]

that "map" is most likely going to be 100% AI slop, given that's what the trailer is

[sage loom]

That, and ported Atlas content

They already showed the Atlas jellyfish and seahorse

[pulsar cairn]

Ase is getting a new map

[sage loom]

Yeah, it's almost like people are talking about it all over this place...

It's almost like the message right above yours was already in reference to that.

[floral pasture]

Because the moment they start fixing ASE, it violates their own “unsupported game” clause and makes them liable in fixing the game again.

Now they become obligated to fix 2 games instead of one.

[stiff dust]

Secondary trailer. The first one looked… okay? It’s bad don’t get me wrong but atleast it seemed okay for what ase was. The second trailer tho?… oh dear god I see why wildcard gave that post clarifying in advance they had no hand in making aquatica…

[silent matrix]

Thats a shame

[fluid musk]

Did they remove the trailer?

[supple notch]

Buying aqautica should be a crime when it comes out

[floral pasture]

Unlisted. Need a direct link to view it.

[regal yarrow]

Compare it to gen1. It's horrifically bad

[stiff dust]

Okay gen1 was NOT that bad

But yeah in general aquatica itself is just horrendously put together with its ai trailer and it’s gameplay trailer

[sage loom]

I think they mean that Aquatica is bad when you compare it to Gen1, not than Gen1 is bad

[stiff dust]

Ah okay yeah no I heavily misunderstood there my bad

In general tho we can all agree aquatica is a full on awful thing that shouldn’t actually be released yeah?

[regal yarrow]

The trailer got 40x as many dislikes as likes. So yeah it's pretty onesided

[grim coral]

Which is why wc immediately said they have nothing to do with it. I have never seen a trailer so disliked ever lol. Snailgames really has no idea what they are doing..releasing dlc for a game that is no longer supported.

[pulsar scroll]

Who is a great Farm Carrier in Aberration?

[stiff dust]

What you looking for specifically? Like a gem/metal carrier? If so then Ravagers are pretty good, same with using a Karkinos carrying 2 ankys/ An anky and Doed

[main dune]

We aren't upset about getting a new map, we're upset about how we're getting it. Personally, I couldn't care less if ASA or ASE gets a new map, but when you let one of the most corrupt publishers in the world create a map and produce trailers fully AI generated or IG trailer that look like they were made by a 10 year old (maybe even worse)it's frustrating. Especially when they'll likely charge for it, squeezing every last drop from a dying game, tarnishing its reputation further. If you still don't understand why we're upset, then you must be dented.

Moreover, it's not just the recent incident with Snail Games, they've messed up in so many ways, from admin abuses on official servers to making completly demented deals with Nitrado and so much more.

[stiff dust]

It’s clearly being made by people doing it for the money and nothing more. They legit used ai for a trailer and it was like gen 1 level ai and it looked AWFUL

Genuinely could of went without it honestly. Nothing for 10th year anni for ark would of been better then bringing ase back with an awful map that costs 30 bucks…

[pulsar scroll]

@stiff dust ITS the point, I look for this heavy mats

I though ravager is best for me atm

[frank cedar]

pls dont buy the aquatica map when it will realese, the community needs to boycott this , its a shame to post an AI generated trailer.

[stiff dust]

Early game, ravager is the best metal carrier

Late game, Karkinos with 1 or 2 ankys

[pulsar scroll]

Yeah, in late game i try with Karkinos
