playing with stack mods is asking for stuff to go wrong
especially with new DLC.
in ASA ext, lost colony, and ASE gen2. I've heard of element having issues. its very common 
thats just element and when I hear about it lol.
the stacking mod I'm using has an active mod author, in fact, they were ready for Lost Colony that they even updated the mod page before the mod itself
thier stacking mod is even Genesis 1 and 2 ready
so I'm willing to take the risk knowing that it's on the hand of an active player and not just another lazy mod author
its only as ready as it can be.
the devkit wasn't avaliable to fix specific lost colony issues.
Building a big base with some cosmetic structures so would it be best to just build it out of thatch to save myself the trouble of having to farm a lot of other resources
a solid moth of wait
yeah, active modders are gonna be better. but if they leave then all your stuff is gone.
anything it changes obviously
What's the mod?
make sure dinos in the area can't damage it.
Yeah my structure dmg is off
then yeah lol.
its just structure damage and decay to worry about except looks.
I guess adobe/metal have the temp changes on scorched 
is there decay on a pve server? If so could I just turn it off
yeah, and yeah
is it not defaulted to off 🤔
let me check
just to be clear, the concerns that were mentioned are all valid and true, I personally decided to use the mod on all my servers because I like the mod author and how active they are compared the other stacking mod that I will not name
I haven't changed those settings since aberration ASE 😂 been using and updating the same ini.
so use at your own caution
I js checked and I guess I turned it off whenever
both
DisableDinoDecayPvE and DisableStructureDecayPvE are listed with default false, i assume not
or it was always off idk
@marble sky Bober Stacks, please make backup of your server just incase ya want to revert back
I completely agree with what you said but I meant the mod you are currently using. I would love to give another stacking mod a try
why are the PvP ones the opposite
PvPDinoDecay and PvPStructureDecay
yeah, I'm aware and fully prepared to uninstall the mod and recover all my items if the situation calls for it
PvE gotta enable to disable. PvP gotta enable to enable.
🤣
I will never understand why they do settings like that lol.
priceless, completly honest, making a convention then away later doing it again diff is such a common thing for me
disable Prevent Hibernation 🙃
I get why both ways make sense but why do they switch back and forth 😂
Bober Stacks, it adds custom texture sfor some stuff that use the same exact ones like Rare and Common Mushrooms, allow Element to be transferred directly, no need to craft then uncraft like TG and best of all, the mod author is active and actually play the game
I guess they want to have the default being false? but even thats not consistant.
not consistent
Wildcard motto basically
most coders
the only thing they're consistent at is when they announce a release date then delay it anyways
normal in big temps with people doing stuff at different points
Thank you so much for that info..... I like the author is active
not even that, they have it some, few, but they have
any problem with gloon tame?
no, the taming process got buffed actually
i shot in your eyes but he dont fall
how many times did ya shoot it?
10 times
did ya clear all the revenants around it?
or more, i shot them multiple times, but he dont fall..
Am I able to use steamCMD to host a server for my Xbox? I’ve seen people they they have but I can’t figure out how. I think the server I made was for steam
the server with SteamCMD u have put -crossplay to used in all platform
sorry my bad english, im from brazil LOL
yes, multiple times...
Where do I add the cross play?
in the server launch parameters
you shouldn't need it.
so u can't do some steps... u create a launch server?
This is my first time making a server. Would I add it to the bat file?
yes...
in the launch game
Just add a -crossplay line to it?
the -crossplay arg was for ASE. it won't do anything for ASA.
ASA is defaulted to crossplay and uses the -ServerPlatform arg
on Single Player?
would 30k hp and rest into melee on a couple ossidons be good enough for alpha LK? don't need them to live just kill the 1st phase
So I add -serverplatform after the server details?
Wait, am I even reading this right?
no, you only need to use it when you want to limit platforms as it defaults to allow all.
It defaults to crossplay? You might have to explain this to me like im a baby.
-ServerPlatform=PC or -ServerPlatform=PC+XSX+PS5
like these. first one blocks all but steam(not sure on epic)
second one blocks PC xbox.
just ignore it. its will only matter for public servers that don't want a platform to play.
xbox and steam can join a server without it.
So I should be set to join my server now? I already have the bat file set up with the server info
yall think 26k 700% damage is good for 19 rexes on alpha broodmother
probably.
port-forwarding/LAN can cause some issues depending on setup.
what should i aim for
40k and 900 melee
I’ll see if I can join in. Thanks for the help
dang
It doesnt stacking some things. Believe me I did the ini trick and it wouldn't stack prome meat on rag for some reason
probably 1 letter or space off.
It does
It does work on any map, items that have a 1 stack size aren't affect by the global stack size, they need their own line
oh yay another update for console and wonder what this one is for 😓
Nope It was the same exact code I used for all my other servers and it just didnt stack on rag. I think ots the way is coded or something cuz others I know have the same issue
No update for me but im on ps5
without too much spoilers, there's a flamethrower dude but other than that, yeah, it should be enough
ya might want to bring a pig for healing
not too worried about those
have had one ossidon be enough and shrug off a flamethrower dude plus i got numb+vampiric on all of em
what's the saddle armor?
man been grinding 💀
i think 60
other then trying to tame a aureliax didn't have much else to do other then prep for boss
also is it true that overseer does not consume tribute because then i will try to do a different difficulty first
can ya bring an Aureliax to the boss fight?
dunno but it only LC thing ain't tamed yet
it does consume tribute but regardless, ya should do the Alpha difficulty, it's not worth wasting time for Gamma and Beta
ok then i will have to breed the rexss
good luck getting your Rexes to the boss fight
Anyone know lc transfer date?
their turn radius is atrocious
that's what the convoy setup is for
most likely around March because that's when the temporary servers expire
february 19th or so actually
not worth it, especially if ya don't just cheese it with a Carcha
Good to know
was worth it for me to keep tames from bunching up and pushing each other off into lava 🤷
is that so? I've been watching Raasclark and I remember seeing that his temporary server expires at March 2nd
it'd prob be around there but tbh who knows with that stuff these days
Anyone know the tribe on scorched earth 5510 name last of us if u could have them contact me my character got glitched into their base plz and thank you
Anytime I equip my drakeling I can use one of its abilities one singular time before having to put it away and pull it back out again…. I’ve spawned one in and tamed one… same issue either way. However my server friend can use them just fine. What gives?
do ya happen to have purchased the Bob Tall Tales dlc?
😂
With great difficulty and many attempts, I managed to catch it.
thanks for the help
let's goooo!
Bro they took down the servers everyday this week 😂
Ooh those some nice patch notes!
I still don't like their increasing usage of "potential fix"
Hopefully the crash fix is soild 😂
be prepared for another patch in a few days
there's one that's supposed to fix the Cryohospital reduce mating cooldown glitching
I honestly think the last 3 days they went down 😂 but I wouldn’t doubt it
Does this game still require you to put all your loot on a tame and force you to respawn after beating a boss and watching the cutscene?
yep
unless ya like losing your stuff and possibly your character
Very cool. What an epic reward. I'm glad they kept this feature for a whole entire decade.
laughs in autojoin feature
well, at least ya are one of the few elite that know about it and take precautions unlike the majority
they think they can finish the map without getting Ark'd one last time 😂
If they fixed all that stuff people would yearn for an ark classic version anyway
Lmao, it is so Ark, you're right. Never change wildcard. I hope Ark 2 keeps this gameplay as a throwback to ark 1.
Guys what’s the best map to start over again and make a base in. My friend and are I level 100+ but we just started playing again after 5 months
As a compulsive builder, will there be a update that adds additional greenhouse structures? Like quarter greenhouse walls?
Probably Rag or Val
Val probly has easier loot drops maybe?
Val is great to start on. Plenty of building space and easy access to mutton.
In PvP tho?
ext or center
Wait what's better than dunky metal on centre?
Well it's challenging
legit nothing lol, nothing will beat that
Double Anky using Karkinos on Aberration
Ahh
Anky has 85% metal reduction compared to Dunky 50%
so ya can carry a lot more metals before heading back
I only have regular karks haha maybe I'll give it a try with baddass ones
Yes
What about ragnarok
dunky more easy imo, have a friend on a teksuit plus the abundance of metal on ocean floor, i easily capped a dedi in 30 minutes
vanilla Drakeling?
easy map youll just have to travel far for mats
when is wipe for small tribes
when ark 2 releases
Tek Transmitter for the win 😎
yupp, it sucks having to transfer back and forth to retrieve metal from the dedi tho
A friend built the one I use such a good builder
Rag is also a good map to start on
not on console ya shouldn't, the map is too big especially with mods mixed in
so unless ya like crashing and eventual save file corruption, stay away from it
Yeah. I uninstalled all my in game mods, uninstalled the game itself, then reinstalled just the game (with bobs) and it still only lets me use 1 attack of any kind before putting it away and then equipping it again to use it again.
I see other people have this issue on Reddit but I can’t for the life of me see if anyone was able to resolve it in anyway
Hi guuuys! Anyone know any solve methode for this? (Unoficial, no admin)
I completed all my 3 lost colony milestones, but cant go for the next (12/15) im literally stucked there…
why no Admin?
try dragging the Drakeling Weapon to your hotbar and use it from there, see if it still does that
There is no admin command for it, only what admins can use on themselfes, and its a big server, the admins refuse to give admin rights for this matter(understandabble)
have ya tried consuming a mind wipe? I don't think that will fix it but it's worth a shot
Yep, already did
then I'm afraid that ya will have to wait until a patch address this
Did you die? Death fix’s a lot
Maaaany times
Thanks for the help, i will wait for the fix! +one more question:
any other ps5 users crashing ALWAYS in lost colony city?
Im crashing like every 2min and average 20min every other place
yep, known issue
Grass turned off, clouds, fog too, performance mode… tryed everything :”D
the NPC in the city + the structures are not console friendly
even on the PS5 Pro, I had to turn off the NPC from spawning in the City to not crash by simply looking at the city
Wow
this is why NPC don't spawn in Single Player, at least on PS5
my friend that plays on the regular PS5 still crashes when they enter the city
I see.. what you think, the unreal engine update will solve this?
Same here
Im on ps5 i crash but not that often
no
I've already gave up on Lost Colony
I'm gonna attempt to get enough Crimson Sigils to do the Alpha and Gamma boss, finish it then leave this miserable map
Not a bad plan
Genesis 1 can't come any sooner! my friend who got me hooked to the game got me hyped up
My mates collecting the sigils, and im just planning to survive it without crash
Do u think that will be better?
teleporting into the boss fight will probably crash your game too
What’s the issue with my cosmetics not showing but eventually over 5~ min they populate in my cosmetics tab,
absolutely not but at least, ya won't be paying for it unlike S#1t Colony
Fact
same, it's been like this for a while
Interesting
The best in lost colony is the milestones.. but that one is bugged for me soo xD
every patch or so, my cosmetics would Dupe themselves
I was up to 6 sets of Lost Colony skins
Every time i log in, i “lost” all my lost colony cosmetics, but after 1-2 implant eating, its solveing itself
Try that one, its working for me
I see, was just wondering due to me just finishing a major build for my series and the cosmetic skins not rendering in right away on the structure
what a trash game, ya have to kill your character multiple times everytime ya login just to use a skin that ya paid for
that too is a bug
Thats a fact, but is still in love with big lizards
cosmetics has been broken for sometime now
I mean it happens? If you don’t like it don’t play ya know? Go try something else
I was just asking around to see if anyone else was having the same issue, or if someone had found a solution
I can't, I'm too deep into it
The problem is not just that, but everything
no other games has got me hooked like this
Try implant eating
I mean fair to complain but, not everyone else has the same
Issues you do, I have almost no problems with the game other than cosmetics everything else runs perfect
I just want to finish Lost Colony so that I get some sense of my money being spent on something
I tried at one point it just populates over time
To be fair the map itself even without the boss fight is worth the money alone
Sadly not on ps5
no it's not, try playing on Console
I mean you’re the ones that chose console as your game station of choice 🤣
see just how bad it is
On a high end pc maybe, but the price is still the same
I didn't chose console, I was forced to because PC prices are way too expensive
Consoles are usually pretty outdated within 1-3 years after their release, and ps5 and xbox are close old af right now
We’re still paying the same price for it, so i thing maybe it can be optimised for consoles too
I even have a gaming laptop that can kinda run this game decently at 1080p but unfortunately, I spent too much on console
It’s easier said than done
pretty much every dlc excuse for the animated skins
My “job” is to pay for it, not to do it
Trying to optimize a game made for new generation graphics and system and restricting it to last generation hardware is like putting a square into a round hole it can happen but not well haha
Mind you I said it can happen I didn’t say how haha, maybe some hammers and power tools are used but it will go
There is many game that did it already, like ghost of taushima, ghost of yotei, god of war.. and all of these have better graphic
You’re comparing apples to oranges
And saying since they are both fruit it should work is your solution
There is only one problem: unreal engine. But still i know its easyer and WAY cheaper than doing an ark engine
You know, im just kinda sad that my hypes where up, and spend a LOT of money on this game, and after all this, its still not working in most of the time
Hasn't crashed mine and ive done it 3x
Ok so here’s a simplistic breakdown of why your logic doesn’t work when comparing games like god of war and ark
Aaaaa some good news
Does it skip a little when clicking on structures in inventory to place or is it just me 😂
I know, god of war was MADE for ps4&5
As of February 2, 2026, Sony Group Corporation has a market capitalization (net worth) of approximately $131.83 billion to $133.78 billion USD. They are the parent company and the company that pours money into that game where as snail Snail Inc.'s (SNAL) net worth, typically measured by market capitalization, is around $27 million USD and snail refuses to put money back into the game but even if snail did the discrepancy in budgets is insane!
Also yes it’s specifically made with the ps specs in mind
Yep, i already tryed it on pc too before, but my 3050 6gb didnt stand a chance xD
That’s why anytime someone compares Ark to any game with budgets 10x the size I laugh, it’s a joke in terms of comparison
And low graph 25fps is just not for me i guess
Same
Also not trying to argue just proving a point of you can’t compare 2 things that are not even close and say well it should work because
And what do you think about the ase aquatica dlc?
Made by a completely different company only supported budget wise by snail to completely
Flop
ya can't use it anyways because number 1 step to play ASE is to switch to Pre-Aquatica
The map is just one part. Theres lots that come with the dlc that doesn't include the map
Same for me
Definitely
I do
Good for you i guess if its working for u xD
I have a ps5 and it runs decent
Oh I know it can run decent I know someone who exclusively plays on ps5
My hopes are kinda big right now, because of the last line of the patch notes🥹
But its just server patch, so i dont know
hope in ark will only bring pain and suffee
Lmao I dont think u quite understand what an open world sandbox game does to ur system. And no i dont agree that they have better graphics. Maybe before on ase but asa graphics are insane.
That' mean
that's fact
I pretty much summed it up perfect earlier the comparisons don’t work when the fruits are different
Thats a cap, did you played ghost of yotei? I know its “apple and orange” but compare that two in graphic.. (yes i know, not the same budget, but that is not the point here)
I won't guarantee it won't but theyre fixing more and more crashes so hopefully itll work for everyone
should wait for gen1 come then start play lc
So....
And after watching these two, please say that ase have a better graphics again please🥹
Exactly
Yup it definitely does. I still crash but not as much as I did at launch. I can atleast do missions without crashing in the city
I am jealous
Server issues are the biggest problem and usually are accompanied by a title update that'll probably drop tm or Wednesday
Yes u did
Yes ive played it. Graphics are good but ark is king imo. You're free to disagree but its my opinion
Anyone trying to run forest titan on 5885?
I never said ase has better graphics. I said asa does
Has anyone tried using aureliax for outposts?
does any one want to play im board
No i use ossidons
Areliax would probably get shredded before even making it to the outpost from the turrets, it has bad damage and not a ton of health, as well as it (probably) taking flyer damage which will kill it even faster
Something like ossidons or Maybe rexes would be wayyy better for them
4 reapers at each opening and i don't have any problems, I just want to mix it up a little
I meant defense outposts
there's a patch for modded trait support before there's a fix for drakeling hoard keys just not working unless you have btt
does anyone want to play pvp
it also has graphics for the PS4, and tiny, sparse environments
look at black myth, it runs way better than ark while using the same engine and a lot of the same fancy tech.. because the maps are tiny and static
So, for the last 2 weeks I’ve been crashing when I’ve been trying to open the creature tab in the terminal. Anyone know why??
Does anyone else have a problem downloading their survivor onto official it just crashes to the home screen every time
I was trying to get a tame leveled to max level for the achievement. Got 59 level up out of 88 so I thought I was on my way. But checked needed exp!!! I now have 225,000 and needed is 22,213,960. So I have about 1% of the total EXP I need. I give up!!!!!
Is there a cave I can bring my megatherium into on the island? A lot of the caves are too small and require smaller tames
i feel like none can fit megatherium in the entrance
however you can use cryopod to get it in some
Its working for me. I bet its a publishing issue with Xbox again
perhaps snow cave, swamp, or lower south
bound to be issues with a bigger mount tho
Take out the legs
Still the same. :/
Go find and kill a titanosaur you'll level up quick. You also might die but.... lol
whats the best tame to kill a titanosaur with
easiest rather
Something with lots of health and lots of melee probably a group of rexes or megatheriums. It deals a lot of dmg and has a ton of health. But me and my tribe got like 35 lvls doing that so....
Think of it like a boss cuz it pretty much is
alr i have an old army of rex i dont need anymore so ill send them to defeat the local titanosaur cuz i do want that achievement
Lol sounds good good luck
i get a thyla with good saddle?
That'll work too. The bleed will b good tho id use at least 3 or 4
if you have tribemate yeah but if no not even worth it
rather have like 3-4 of them in cryopod so you can change new one out if old one low health
im pretty sure the bleed not stack so yeah
or find a good spot where it cant hit you
have the crashes on LC been fixed on ps5? haven't been on it in a good few days so just wanted to ask :/
who even ask this ? "Redesigned the Lost Queen’s Recovery Energy Beam gameplay"
Unofficial server my friend logs in and all dinos are set to alliance and have blue names can't ride them any fixes
On PC
Anyone know the easiest way to kill the desert titan on asa?
when are neophytes getting nerfed? lv 1s should not kill me with cap flak & a cap pump, why do they get mate boost?? spent 2 hours taming an aureliax for nothing. Love having to wait for servers to open up so I can bring capped carchars to do anything significant on LC.
I've been playing ans i haven't crashed as much. But some are reporting they are still crashing so....
Is transfers open for lost colony on small tribes?
They dont need to b nerfed u just need to get better lol
How? I had cap gear & brews, I had everything needed to do it but apparently they’re grossly op for no reason.
Hmmmm apparently not cuz i have no problem killing them with an ascendant tek sword. Easy as pie
Anyone know if a. custom cosmetics and b. ascension are working properly yet?
No u need to get a tek sword and increase your melee so u can kill the neophyte ascendant tek sword can b found in dragon hoard chests. I highly reccomend it. Even better is a cursed one if you can get the red element. Even better is tek spear but if youre struggling against a neophyte I know there's no way you beat the lost queen to get the tek spear. So...... just lvl up your melee and get the ascendant tek sword
Working for me
Thank you
Np I cant guarantee it works for everyone but its working for me so......
That's all I can ask haha
Ascending is hit or miss. Some saying yes, some no still
Hmm okay thank you. I'm on singleplayer so at the very least I can back everything up beforehand just in case
Oh yeah, that's hella better. Little to no risk that you can't easily get back.
exactly! just time 😭
Crashed and cannot get back on, I’m on Xbox x and husband on PS5, both of us can not log in :/ Xbox won’t even show servers (all maps say zero) and his won’t connect to join
Sorry I work full time & play official pve solo, even the sweat tribes are struggling to get LC bosses done due to poor spawns & major glitches during the boss fight. Again, I will wait for server openings & bring over my 3k melee carchars.
I play official as well and have a full-time job. All I did is mind wipe and I put a bunch in health and melee so that I could kill the neophytes and here's a bit of a help for u. You cant use tames so...
Can't use them on the neophytes or the queen
Thyla bleed works so would cap melee deinosuchus gigabite lmao
So I I submitted a ticket and it said solved but it has not been solved and I have an email saying to wait one to two business days. I’m confused on if they’re saying that they’re not helping me or I need to wait for a response from them.
Anyone submitted a ticket before
wait for a response, ticket response times have always been long
Giving away 300 chibis a day for 13 days in my dc. LINK IN BIO PVE Official!
since when? there's been nothing in the patchnotes about fixing drakeling not working if you dont own btt
when valentine event usually starts and when ends?
Mid Feb to late feb
What did the crash fix, fix? I was hoping it was inventory crashing fix… nope 👎
Nobody iknows cause theyr not very transparant with any patch notes leaving users questioning. This is the whole reason why I complain about theyr method of doing patch notes. Not only do patch notes sometimes not even get posted, the lack of information is a huge problem too.
if wer're lucky its one of the things dupers used to crash servers
I just wish this is something they will look into and fix, it may not be an issue for pc but it’s definitely an issue for me on our servers since getting servers on ark ascended. First it was the invisible inventory item glitch, now on a completely different new server it’s crashing upon exiting and opening your character inventory or inventory of storage, anything that has an inventory you can access, Bam your whole game crashes and boots you off the server… I don’t know if anybody on pc gets this, but for console with supported mods, it does this a lot. And I’m very certain it’s not a mod issue or a server host issue, I think it’s an ark issue and the only people that can fix it is the devs themselves…
I never had crashes due to inventory on PC but I only play ASA since december.
inventory crashes are 99% a console thing
Any one know where to find doedicurus in island? I can’t find it, even the primate scanner can’t find it
They shoould be about middle opf map hills
Is there a faster way for daeodons food bar to go up other than manual feeding
fill it with meat, go out of render, come back, food will be full
Search there for 3 day in game can’t even find one also primitive gene scanner can’t find it
Oh okay sweet ty!
Are you on a private server/singleplayer?
forget gene scanner or dino finder mods in singleplayer,
If so you can do destroywilddinos
@dim tiger -preventhibernation in steam or for console prevent hibernation mod helps.\
Will try it
does anyone know why it doesnt let me join this server i played a couple months ago on smalls? i keeps saying refresh instead of join
It not work in single player?
I just find one lvl 145 by scanner now 😓
no, singleplayer can only detect stuff in your proximity or where you already been
-preventhibernation still helps with it as a steam parameter. You just need to activate the area's.
never worked for me in singleplayer
I am using Der Dino Finder all the time
it could be a mod issue? altho, if you tested it on a fresh game with no mods, ofc its not mods. there are some patches that mention inventory fixes but the main one i saw was only for steam/egs. they may have just not re-posted when it was rolled out for console, tho. i haven't seen anyone still reporting that issue for a while now and altho thats not the best way to deduce it's no longer an issue, it does point to it not being a consistent issue across the same platform(s). if its not, then the cause is more likely to be an outside factor. also, with it not being a consistent issue, its very hard for the devs to even begin to determine the cause, let alone find a fix
I understand that, but I do know it hasnt been fixed for console as I went on to check once the patches had been released and I am still getting the inventory crashes. I have a private server running mods, But the question is does anybody here run an ark console server with mods, I'd love to compare mods that people have on their server too see if any of the mods im using on console they also have issues with or have had issues with.
Ive even thought, maybe its not mods maybe its not the game... Maybe its the server host im running the server with for ps5 which is nitrado, but unfortunately Im not going to be able to solve my issue if I dont have anybody to check mods with who also has a console server with mods.
I would remove all mods first then install one and see if issue occurs. No crash install another and so on. Def sounds like a mod issue
how do i make a new character but stay in the same tribe and keep the boss blueprints? on ase
You dont unless a admin helps
im on singleplayer
must be related to the Drakelings getting seperated from Lost Colony and becoming thier own dlc, I think ya have to wait until that's done
if ya have Bob Tales purchased, the Bladehive can melt it but otherwise, get a Dreadnought on top of it
utilize the Holo grenade, I never lost a single HP both on my player and the egg with their, I just throw on then shoot and repeat
then use commands
You advertise for a pve gameplay. Ive been killed by a player in a pve server. Therefor if you do not put a end to the scaming of these individual your advertising constitute fraud. I make that ticket for all the pve player Who work and dont have Time to enjoye pvp cause they have not enough Time or are anoye by Cheater. For m'y part i want full refund on ark asa and all DLC cause i know you Wont Do a thing for your pve player base i Will post this ticket and your reply on social media for transparence. thank you
😂

seems to be a new bug that's caused by the most recent update
might have to wait until the client gets a patch?
if not on Official, you can contact the admins and have them kill your player. seems to fix the issue for a lot of people
if you’re on official though you’re screwed
tbh, with asa being crossplay, i don't think console or pc specific servers exist anymore. you can make a backup of your server save file, remove all mods, and see if the issue persists. restore game with the backup. or you could just keep the backup and start a new unmodded game to play for a bit, then restore the old save later. have you thought about just hopping on another server real quick to see if its a problem there? any unofficial or official would do, i would think
if i make a backup save file, will that keep all characters and progress, all loot in base and our animals etc?
there is an argument that ya can add to the launcher to make the server platform exclusive or exclude even
So dollie says not to attempt the boss fight right now, huh?
afaik, yes. iirc, you're on nitrado, right? their guide i read a bit ago said that's how it would work. however, it'd prob be a good idea to double check my info. i do self-hosting and i'd feel awful if you lost your save bc i'm not familiar enough with how nitrado does things
there's an automatic backup function on Nitrado but I don't know how often it creates a backup or if ya can even manually initiate one
that is one of the things that I disliked about Nitrado when I tried their 3 days plan
ya can't even use arguments
At this point i dont know if its the mods i use or its the game itself or its nitrado services. It would be handy if somebody here uses console servers and also uses mods, then I can say the mods I use and see if they've used them too and had any issue with them, im just at a loss on what to do. Ive just uninstalled all my mods on my console, and the game, and going to try reinstall them all and the game to see if that stops me crashing which i highly doubt
I'm on PS5 and running my own dedicated server locally
What would be handy to know is, does anybody know what ram etc a nitrado ark ascended server comes with for console without upgrades? Im certain you're supposed to have a specifc amount of ram etc for ark ascended with mods.
never encountered any issues after an update
Do you use mods though?
I also use custom cosmetics for buildings and my character.
Is there a limit for the amount of cloners a tribe is allowed to spam? My game lags out and crashes anytime I look at the massive wall of cloners of a tribe next to me, can only play looking in 3 directions 😂
I could name the mods I do use or you could tell me yours to see if i have any of the same on our server.
i do have some mods on the server that where updated months ago.
And just how were you killed? Only way is by being drowned or wilds kited to you. Always log out in a bed.b
We all wish there was. But that many cloners is traders and rmters usually.
Should say on nitrado site how much it comes with as base
i dont see that i have admin rights, im not the owner but im the one managing it.
I didnt see it listed on website. But i also didnt log in. Its probably 128 but dont quote me
Looked it up, and the Titanosaur do give a lot of xp. 80,000. But you would still need to kill lots and lots of Titanosaurus to reach max level on your tamed dino. I'm not sure if the tame you ride gets the full exp or if you share it 50/50 player/tame. But if they get the full exp it would still take 275 Titanosaurus to reach max level. And calling that quick I would say is a stretch.
Why do I crash every time I try to play on an unofficial map
are you trying to join modded servers ?
Yes
good chance that its the same issue i have dealt with in my server. due to some of the recent updates and constant changes server and client side, there have been a lot of issues going between Ark, Nitrado and CurseForge. the best and easiest fix is to contact Admins directly (if you can) and have them kill your player. you should be able to join then
you are free to try and consult the many other fixes available such as full uninstalls and reinstalls of the entire game and dlc, uninstall/reinstall of all mods, clearing of game cache and troubleshooting with your internet service, but the issue seems to be something within the code that came from ASE
Does torch fire damage scale with melee?
Hello! Just one question, did some people lost their character today? Me and my friends just lost our characters out of nowhere, and we’re asked to create a new one (we have a cluster on Nitrado). First time experiencing this
Depends on if its 2x or not. And its probably a lot faster than most other methods. Doing osds are good too but I'm not sure its faster than a totanoda
Good afternoon! I lost my character who was the leader of my tribe. Can you transfer tribe leadership to another character?
Unofficial server, so never has 2x exp.
no
I already sent it and they couldn't bring the tribe leader back! I'd like to know if it's possible to transfer ownership of the tribe to another character!
They use to do it on Ase not sure if they do it anymore considering how busy they are
😿
didn’t know we worked for you
Are u trying to say official doesn't do 2x? Your comment was a little confusing
Right? The entitlement is unreal
on god
does adding points in melee add bleed damage to deinonychus on ase?
okay so, alpha outposts still arent fixed amazing
sigils are still bugged too
and spawns from the sniper boss are awful he is in the mesh 50% of the times
bleed is fixed rate, i believe 5% of total health over 10 seconds
YouTube 🤝
yep but up to a certain point
I don't remember the exact percentage but I wanna say 600%
Deinonychus, not Deinosuchus
Is anyone having trouble with the play as a Dino mod I know its beta
yeah, frequent crashes
what about the mating part because I can't mate
let me know if you can mate a Dino or if its just me
until the mod gets like 10 more updates, I don't think I'll be using it
How long does beta normally take when modding
1 day to 10 years
some mods never get done at all
Have you tried the mating part of play as a Dino
Any server I can play in that can help me
huh
Yay -_- I love this game. Dessert titan randomly spawned over head and randomly I timed out from the host.
Im looking for a server where i can play that has people and that those people can help me get better at the game
All I wanted was silk
Which stats on my rex should i upgrade? Also if i am to use my rex for breeding later i heard that i shouldn't level up any stats?
Yes, ya don't want to level up your stats if ya don't have a Spyglass mod or have the Tek Binoculars (ASA only) unlocked
leveled up stats don't get passed anyways so for your breed pairs, it's best not to level up their stats to avoid possible confusion
So js remember it’s base stats after taming
👍
Most official pve will help. Just dont ask for tames. People hate it. But many will help leatn game
Just don't ask for tames
like not even a baby or egg to raise?
Guys check #fanart-and-screenshots channel wtf with craft bro?
how I am supposed to craft tranq darts?
are ya using an auto engram unlock mod?
idk Im gonna check it in singleplayer without mods
ya might need to consume a Mindwipe
I feel like I used them just fine recently, gonna check on my end too
Yeah its mod fault
Oh, which one?
Any idea?
Bober Stacks 10000-90
looks like last update do that
Wtf is up with stack mods these days
hold up
I talked to the mod author about this yesterday actually
there was a dupe bug with shocking darts specifically
have ya tried mind wiping?
still no
then could ya please try to?
are ya sure it's this mod in particular?
Single Player?
yeah
all I can think of is that the Wildcard did something with one of the most recent patches that caused the mod to stop spawning creatures in Single Player
the mod author fixed it so creatures are spawning now
does your friend play on console?
I don't play Single Player because it's garbage but on my dedicated server, I've never encountered frame issues using Bobers 10k
we both at PC
prevent hibernation disabled?
We using dedicated too, just checked it in single
idk we dont touch this setting
dedicated server hosted locally or via Nitrado?
locally
Anyone know if it was intentional for alpha revenant to not give xp to the chibi?
I mean its not laggy on dedicated, just in single
probably because creatures are spawning now
yep, they don't give xp, not even to the player
And also I used mindwipe, still craft is broken
Truly more reason to not use stack mods, they messing up thing too much
same for Neophytes, a Level 300 gives ya less than a Level 5 dodo
When setting up sir 5rm8 for gardening, how many crops can I set a single sir 5rm8 for?
they much QoL upgrade to your gameplay sooo I cant play without it
are ya using an auto engram unlock mod?
try Vanilla with Sprinkles
That seems kinda wack. Wish they did. See em more than regular alpha
Ini to change stack sizes and if u want weight reduction, increase weigh leveling on atuff
it doesn't remap resources unlike other stack mods
No
probably why they didn't give the xp
I dont changed anything
hold up, let me boot up my server real quick
I have 5 mods
Awesome Spyglass!
Awesome Teleporters!
Dino Colourizer
Upgrade Station
Bober Stacks 10000-90
thats all
I dont think they conflicting or smthng
is Bober on the top of your mod list?
Stacking mods should always be on top
the mod page even says so
Hmmm not sure
How to do that in .ini files?
I'm assuming ya are adding mods via their id to the launcher?
like write its ID first?
Ok wait a minute i try it
also try picking up your Fabricator then placing it
That also matter on the launch parameters in server, damn, never knew
So I checked it... It was last on the ID list x.D
I just crafted one, no problem or whatsoever
I didn't even have the engram unlocked and used a modded Fabricator
My server is booting I will check it soon
Do you think theyll keep the gen 1 missions the same for bobs adventures new map
umm
its not fixed that
did ya add the mod to your server recently or was it there from the start?
from the start
can ya check for me if the Gunpowder engram is unlocked?
yea I learned it
what about Tranq Dart and Simple Rifle Ammo?
I have learned these too
then I can recommend ya 3 options
(1 join the mod discord server and report the issue but I'm 90% sure it's not the mod because I literally just crafted a shocking dart without even using the engram on a modded Fabricator no less
-
look up "Remove Stacking Mods" by Farkom_Net and see if ya can get the items unstacked then remove Bobers 🥲
-
take a screenshot of every stacked item, remove Bobers 🥲 then cheat them in via commands or mods like Gaia Commands and Awesome ARK Tools
Regardless of ya chose 2 or 3, I recommend looking into Vanilla with Sprinkles, it allows ya to have select a stacking preset which 10k 90% is one of them then apply that to your world without remapping anything meaning that it won't cause issues with future updates and if ya wish to uninstall the mod later down the road, ya can simply split all your stacked items into vanilla (for example, 10k Metal to 300 stacks) then safely remove the mod
Day#6 of complaining about how premium mods are privileged dynamic downloads for not being able to be removed individually from the client's Installed Mods tab when they've never purchased it.
Where's that Uninstall button next to the Purchase button, WC?

about 1), I wish you have that engram unlocked, bcs craft broken in engrams inventory list
so tek replicator have same bug
Ok, let me try that in Single Player
I really hate using engram points, I spawn in 99% of engrams as Blueprints
what did you expect from wc just buy it then it will uninstall on its own every so often requiring you to log out and reinstall it
I'm not buying slop thumbnail mods thanks
right over your head lol
@young tusk I see the issue 🙃, used a pull mod so I didn't notice this
No I understood. I'm just taking this seriously as it's space on the drive, because the files aren't removable unless going through folder hell
I still not gonna change stack mod, bcs its best in my opinion
no worries, I'll report it to the mod author
yeah thats the only option you got sadly
my apologies for not noticing it
And the only option for console players is removing everything and spending the next couple hours of their life grabbing everything again
no apologies, its ark)
in the meantime, ya can just throw the materials for it then cheat it in
yeah
can I friend you?
yeah, man, go ahead 👍
thank you bro
we will all be moving to cloud gaming soon enough .
Nah, rural networks aren't up to snuff for that
Hey guys, I'm playing on "the island" official and I just tried to travel to Aberration to bring back some stuff. I keep dying. Is anyone on an official server there who could help me?
ya really think so?
if major tech companies get there way
well thats what micro n sony want
why own our own stuff when they can force us to rent and if they get mad just wipe someone
own nothing and be happy
the future is ever so grim looking 💀📉
Considering I have 100mb down/10mb up and can barely play a cloud version of fallout 76 (Epic service: Xbox version streamed to PC) with.... ~2seconds input latency...
Not happening anytime soon
bruh just cause cloud stuff sucks doesn't mean won't happen
Thank god steam has an offline mode to launch in 
as long as gabe's in charge anyway
also have explored more of epiphany map and it's nice but really not sure fan of maps where there's either no ocean or so and is mostly rivers

Anyone else losing ~10-15fps+ when switching to third person while mounted on a dino?
First person, everything is fine
Comsidering they dont care about your internet speed. Xbox and ps will soon be stream only. And nividia more goimg ai and less gaming it will be the futture. You wont buy video cards or own a pc anymore
Enabling FSR frame gen, turning off vsync does not fix the framerate dropping below 10fps (tpv mounted) from 20-30fps (fpv mounted).
Across all dinos
When do we think the Valentine's event will launch?
after valentine is over 🙂
Figured out the problem:
It was a cosmetic mod causing the issues. Timeless Federation - Timeless Shirt & Kiba cause the performance hits in third person
anyone know the best way to level on rag? trying to get to level 80 for industrial forge
Got same problem today. Just find a charge battery to transfer back
It’s better than drops
Kill Wyverns
and dispose of any low level Carchas and Gigas
gotcha that's good advice
don't forget to poop on an irrigated toilet beforehand
Hi, does this server have Brazilian players?
does the lava golem still have blueprints in its inventory when killed?
not on ASA, no, a loot crate will spawn nearby
gotcha i remember ase having both
I mean, if ya have Pyromane or a Tek Suit, ya try it out but I'm definitely not touching that lava
i tried with graps
too scary, man 😣
to no avail tho could not access inventory
: (
also this is a bob question but best way to get regular eggs non fertilized?
have a male and female with an oviraptor nearby. congrats.
are you on the island?
rag
trying to get kibble?
no actually trying to get cs hatchery
then yeah the 2 oviraptors together good plan
making sure got a male and female of various egg dinos helps
it is better than it used to be, more protection in place#character-restoration works pretty well if you do it promptly
Good to know, I think ill still wait around another day but I cant much longer
best time to transfer is weekday in off-hours, less chances of server crashes from load
clown time to transfer is release days and first day of events
Can someone explain how I can make my gacha happy and produce crystals? They're in a cave, I have a pair with an owl and a Pegomastax, and they're sad.
can’t be in a cave
oh :/
They can, but u need to change the ini for that
does any one want to play
#1110949794907684965 spot to look
has anyone grabbed that wave 3 of heroes of ark skin at all?
They do u just have to kill off tge dinos in its spawn area
Yeah its pretty cool
you know which part of the techno dragonkin has the tail?
No i haven't used that yet. But. ...... ima have to check that out tonight
The way to make them spawn is to kill everything over and over again at one of their spawn locations. The best location is 62 12 around the river (takes an hour of killing to get one usually if you’re fast)
if do lemme know since maybe if it goes on sale might grab
Will do
Checking in. Is anyone else crashing upon accessing inventory, your own or your tames? On xbox, Astraeos, multiplayer.
how do you mine metal with the fasolasuchus, i did the dive thing and it wouldn't farm metal
had that happen randomly on SP on val
Hay im on ps5 how to i burrow wile riding a basilisk
try x
@full fog lol I'm dumb than you
no ur good i couldn't figure out how to either until i hit random buttons
What is faster at crafting makeshift megalab or chem bench?
if you have a mining drill mod active will blueprints spawn in drops?
probably not. very few mods go to the effort to insert their items into existing loot
or they do it badly and only spawn in one spot/conflict with other mods
damn that kinda sucks
Vanilla Faso doesn't mine metal. You're thinking of the S-Faso from the S-Dino Variants mod. That one mines metal
Dupes?
I am unable to get drakeling loot. I own the map/content. I have a drakling on.. I reach the loot location turns green and nothing. (when I activate the treasure before setting off it says (Within Vaci ity & requires fantastic tames: drakling)
^got answers in general chat.
trading tek for grown imprinted dinos!
hey guys i’m new to ark and i am changing from evolved to ascended does anyone know any unofficial severs that have auto level up and has about 25x and auto engrams and boosted stats for the humans
i doubt any populated public server has that, may as well play creative mode
wtf even is "auto level up", that is not how anything works
Has anyone on single player tried to beat the boss on ps5
I just cryoed my creature can i throw it again immediately?
I run a cluster named Grey Paradise sounds like you might like it
Some ppl want an easier play through. Which is why made tge cluster. Mainly there to cater to those who just wanna build and chill.
Can someone Please help me out here? I got a Tapejara that keeps teleporting back to my base no matter where I am on the map on restart. Playing singleplayer. Please help me
?
My tapejara just abandoned me in the tundra
So does the template hammer just not work anymore
If yall think that lc boss is bugged the val boss is worse
Some how I crash in tge val boss but not lc. Its crazy
Nope it is extremely bugged. Not something I really use anymore. But....
any clue why anky or doed doesnt farm crystal nodes?
ankly should
That's unfortunate. Hope they consider making it useable again
.yeah idk. Theres a lot of issues to fix and thst one is probably not the most necessary in there opinion.
If youre on lc u can go to the bridges with a doed and get a bunch of crystal
ragnarok
anky getting nothing doesnt show anything
Oh ok yeah isk than. I usually just use a pick on rag but. ....
wat...
What exactly does the Weight-Frail gene mean?
@elfin elm if you remove the trait and hilight it, it will give a description of the trait. It might have to be stored in the gene storage first.
@river spire these are tips recommend for doing LC outposts and they're not counting the crashes since most can suggest is saving nonstop during the grinding while in city
#1 if can get a ossidon or something like it and have good saddle on them cause they're A really strong and got good aoe on attacks and stuff and B they're tall enough to avoid you being burned by flamethrowers tho one of missions has a desmodus who likes flying nonstop which people suggest using reaper for since it's tail has ranged attack that can ground fliers
#2 don't bother doing them on the skybridges etc cause enemies can clip into building or fall off and out of bounds and mission impossible to do unless use mods or so to get around that
#3 i got a route can share in #fanart-and-screenshots which shows the route i usually took in a loop to keep hunting for them
Why can't I do the alpha endboss fight on the island?
What are you trying to use?
Alpha
You cant enter the cave or the seconth teleporter?
The cave
Check if theres a cooldown on tribute items. The only thing I can think offf
Why there's always an update shit on ark
Fck fck fck
that's a client side setting
A dedicated server does not touch cosmetics, it simply allows them
What exploit was fixed? Another cat one
so far think only one of the special builds in the template like is the frontier cabin
others just feel like too much or not fully done and just feel off
Oops mb
I was talking about non dedicated servers
How can I let my friends see my equipped cosmetics
they have to enable dynamic download in their setting or have the mod installed as well
That's the problem Idk where to find the dynamic download
let me boot up my console real quick
Settings > Advanced > Disable Cosmetics Dynamic Downloading OFF
if they just install the same mod, they should be able to see the cosmetic as well
in the start menu, not in-game
Well that would be annoying
Cosmetic mods are client sided after all
without dynamic download, they won't be able to see your premium cosmetic mods I think
I'd didn't find it
in the main menu of the game with the stupid ads
Just can I add you in discord cause I gtg
top-right corner
please, no
I'll message you later I have an important football match
My adolescent Desmodus starved with bood packs in tek trough, and bloodpacks + cooked meat in Maeguana. Amazing game! What did I do wrong?
how much points in the food stat that your Maeguana has if ya don't mind me asking?
88+65=153
according to the wiki, a very high Food Maeguana is not recommended because it'll basically feed the babies right when they're about to starve due to the high food value
sorry, it's not 100+
just very high values
of course, I might be spreading misinformation so don't take my word for granted
try using a low Food Maeguana, see if that does anything
No other babies have died with it. Only Desmodus. It can handle 50 Giga babies, but not 5 Desmodus..
And don't forget that there was also a tek trough, it still has bloodpacks inside
im on fjordur and i want to beat the alpha dragon with the deinonychus i got 4 of them each one got 600% melee and 10k hp for tanking i got 3 magmasaurs with 50k hp each how many of each dino should i bring and would those stats be enough (on ase ofc)
No, I don't want to waste kibble and I got other babies on it as well. 10+ babies, only Desmodus died, although only Desmodus has a separate tek trough with bloodpacks (for safety/additional food source, Mae is for backup). All other babies are eating from Mae.
They're just bugged.
u could get a snow owl or a daedon to heal them before they starve to death
Hi looking to join a pvp any suggestions?
Who is playing official pvp?
Fight?
i mean if got BTT taming a bunch of thrall and sticking em in bio grinder can give you alot of basic kibble to use
farm easy outposts in wilds and farm xp on a drakeling at same time
would 4 deinonychuses with 600% melee and 10k hp and 4 magmasaurs with 50k hp each be enough for the alpha dragon? on ase
no clue but bleed etc is nice on deinons
Is the Electrical Prod the most useless tool/weapon in ark? Or is that the Lance?
lance can at least be used for lol jousting fun
For a Desmodus? Is that how you're raising yours? It's not a starving drake or wyvern and I have a slotcap of bloodpacks for them. They HAD food. And they died while I was offline. At 50-60% maturation.
i never had issues with desmoduses but i usually raise wyverns like that if im in early game
hopping off while raising babies always risky tbh
When I'm in the mood of raising babies, I do 150-200. But 5 Desmodus.. They don't wanna 🤣
Just wanted to complain (as it IS a BUG, they had food!) and maybe some clarity of what they need to not die as bloodpacks and cooked meat is not enough. I guess raw meat in Mae is a must.
200 babies?? I sure hope you are on a personal server. Can't imagine the strain it puts on the server if several people do it at the same time on a server.
wrong chat
Official. Tame cap is 250. You should see breeder bases.. 🤣
There are things that put way more strain on the server.
I would hate to live next to your base 🙂
Did ark fix crashes on ps5 using mods ? Anyone try going into city on console yet or does it crash still?
where is like "the best map and location" tame a Pyro?
Hello friends. I can't find the Reaper and Basilisk alpha tributes on my server. Does anyone have all the alphas to trade?
i saw a bunch wandering around on the center by the volcanic islands area
no idea if thats the best place though
desmo are bugged if u derender them dosent matter if they have food they not gonna eat and starve same bug since ase
I've claimed a big area surrounding the base, I also have bad experience with neighbours bugging me out. There is no one within render distance. The babies don't cause fps drops as much as mods. Even green Obi on Ragnarok drops my fps to like 10-20fps. My base has almost 0 mods as I like my fps being high (for this game lmao), 60 seems the highest my pc can do while keeping textures at "epic".
BTW I think desmodus are still bugged, probably. I tried breeding them ALOT when Fjordur came out, and they would always starve when unrendered. After further testing, I found out they will strictly consume packs when in render - unrendered not a chance.
The ones I’m currently breeding on ASA are fine with raw meat. And i have food capped maeguanas (254+60somwtjikg base stat, AND leveled up) no issues.
But i did have issues with cooked meat in the past, not using cooked at All anymore
(And regarding my maeguanas, ecen their food range Circle doesn’t show up anymore, so I’m pretty sure they are as overcapped and absurdly high leveled/possibly bugged as possible lmao)
Yeah, I figured it's the cooked meat, which sucks. I keep raw and few lines of cooked in case raw is eaten/spoils as I like my sleep and my life doesn't revolve around Ark lol
That's why I had blood packs in trough AND in Maeguana + meat, all to try to counter them fighting over the blood pack timer.
I always check for the food trough icon on babies - if the icon shows, they will eat. If doesn't, they're out of range
Does anyone know how to Mate on ark play as a Dino?
Blood packs would’ve been so convenient, especially once having high melee bats 😕
I usually don’t even bother with packs anymore at all, just stuff raw meat on troughs and salt/raw meat for maeguanas, to be safe and seemed to have worked so far
Haha yea that’s how I tell if mine are in range too, the missing circle is just something I noticed on my absurdly high (is it millions of food points now? Would have to check but totally broken high) maeguanas the circle disappeared unlike some slightly mutated ones which still show it ^^
But yea the icons appear regardless of circle or not and feeding works, should just be an example that ecen the most highly leveled maeguanas still keep babies from dying, or did for me at least for a while any many many many babies.
I'm on console and every time I try to mate as a trex it won't work do I have to put in a code
Do anyone know what to do?
I don't have the meat seeds yet and I've grown to resent meat farming 🤣
I sent you a dm, maybe I'll change your mind 😁
Yea no meat seeds either here 😂
But I chose the very same spot I had in ASE official already for ASA, on Center map.
There is this one island, connected to jungles via one natural bridge and right next to swamp.
There are three major paracer spawns literally less than 30 seconds of walking time away with carchar, slotcapping is so easy and fast lol.
Best breeding spot I ever found on pretty much all maps after years on official ^^
Island swamp cave was awesome until they removed the overspawn. Got loot + xp + almost a slot cap of meat per each x on rates.
Yea I imagine, I was angry when they removed lvl 400 or so bugs, and the overspawn for ASA, barely any xP 😕
think that swamp base is now probs one of the best can slotcap (usually I have a weight shoulder pet for the 2.5k weight carchar for ecen more meat) too, and takes like 5-10 minutes to slot/weightcap.
And no teleportation needed etc, I hate that 😅
The overspawn was nice for frog farming
Capped poison wyverns still worth doing for pvp?
Do you mean single player or non-dedicated?
We have a server cluster and we are also facing this problem, empty city, no NPCs anywhere.
May be a mod problem, could be the configurable cryopods? because the NPC use them too?¿?
i am on my own nitrado cluster. it worked normaly, but then suddenly it didn't anymore.
Meanwhile our unofficial looks like they are hanging a convention in town. So full
Any idea why i crashed on the island last night on non dedi and everytimei try to log back in it crashes ? And on sp to. Incan join regular servers on the same map just not mine ? And im on Xbox s and it runs ark fine so its not that . I've been playing for 2 years and this has only been happening since lc droped. And i have that also.it happened on rag and valguero about a week ago.
Why is all the official servers showing up like there all down
any mods installed?
Yes 9 mods
Pela Cryo Mod, Recovery Stone, Vanilla with Sprinkles and some building mods
Mine eat just fine
Maybe is the Pela Cryo Mod, it hasn´t been updated in 5 months
ASE? They shut all Official servers down.
Pela isnt causing me any issues
If ASA check your search filters
How often do they give status updates on character resto?
you won’t get a response typically, sometimes they reach out if they can’t find you. if restoration is possible your character will appear in your upload within 24 hours
Thanks. My friend is probably gonna quit. The server crashed, rolled back to a time where he was off server, and his character is just gone.
Is anyone not being able to breed rexes? I have mating on but they are not breeding:/
Day#7 of complaining about how premium mods are privileged dynamic downloads for not being able to be removed individually from the client's Installed Mods tab when they've never purchased it.
Where's that Uninstall button next to the Purchase button, WC?

I can't even breed while playing play as a Dino
That sucks. These constant updates are causing lot of problems:/
I enjoyed playing as a Dino but how on earth can I breed it says look for a male mate and when I do I can't starting breeding
Its not upto wc its a curseforge issue
who's curseforge
iirc curseforge doesn't handle ASA's client 
Curseforge is sho publishes the mods
the people that allow mods in ASA
so they need to fix play as a Dino
no, that's the author of the mod
It's not a curseforge issue, it's a dev issue to apply a method of removing mods from someone's client
No byt they handle the store them and the platform your on. When u click on the mod page you are navigating away from ark ans going into the store which is run and operated by curseforge
Then why can we uninstall bought premium mods 
Thst is upto the modder. Go to there discord and let them know
But not dynamically downloaded premium mods 
What is their discord name
It's entirely "Pay to remove this mod"
Theres nothing a modder can do curseforge needs to add that button. Its not hard to do really.
No lmao. Curseforge doesn't do the coding for asa
how long does beta last for on ark my Canadian brother said 7 days and another person said 1 day to 10 years
Because there's a button curseforge put on there. But didnt add it for thid particular situation. I reccomend going to curseforge discord and telling them
Nor does curseforge have power over how the ui is for asa
It should say it on the mod page
Let me check really quick
Curseforge is third party my man
Doesn't say
The store is not controlled by wc. The store is a separate port. So it is not connected. Wc could add the button but it would so no good cuz the backend is controlled by wc. Just because you can access the store from asa main page doesnt mean its actually a part of asa. You are actually leaving the game when u go to the curseforge store.
Do your research please
Theres no determined time
How long does it normally take
I really wonder why I keep playing. PS5 crashes a lot and mods don’t work at all. Seems like I’m wasting a lot of time and paying more and more.
Understand this the curseforge store is not ark it is a separate entity its like clicking a link it takes u to a separate site.
The uninstall button is not a link
Exactly
It specifically removes files from the system
Therefor, curseforge not required
It's a dev issue, as previously stated
Thats not what I said. I said the when you click on curseforge it takes u to a different place like a link on a website. Just because we can access it from the game page doesnt mean its part of asa perse
don't all dynamic downloads work that way? guess you could download and then uninstall non-premium ones tho
the UI in the mod menu is very unlikely to be curseforge. there just isn't a reason for them to do it instead of wildcard.
Lmao curseforge has permissions to access storage. Its not a dev issue. Well not a wc dev issue anyway. Its curseforges store so its them thst have to fix it.
In the Installed Mods tab, if you click on a dynamically downloaded premium mod that has the Installed icon on the UI within the mod page, the only button present is Purchase (If you have not bought the mod)
dynamic downloads do show in installed? thought they didn't 
I don't play on officials so never noticed.
They do. And the files are present in folders
then yeah, that should probably be fixed
you'd need to wipe all for consoles and PC would have to find it in the files to delete.
The curseforge store is not controlled by wc. Its a store controlled by curseforge.
And that's very time consuming to the console players, in an already time consuming game
the store isn't what they are talking about. they are talking about the ingame UI not having an uninstall button
Its the same for official and unofficial
not if you don't have dynamic downloads on.
that has to be manually done on unofficials
thats up to mod maker
Assuming they were to search for all the mods they had previously
Does anyone know single player settings to make it feel like a 20x server? I have feeling I shouldn’t just change everything to 20
Yes within the curseforge store
No, I'm talking within the ASA client
the ingame UI isn't the curseforge store. its just a mod menu UI.
It sucks because I want to breed my dire wolf with a male and apperantly its not working
there is a reason it is beta
Its the same. No matter if I play on official or unofficial i have to turn off dynamic download. Cuz cosmetics work on both.
This is true
it does read the website to show things. but there is a reason (on PC, no idea if consoles) it opens an actual website when you click purchase.
you have to set it up on unofficials. if you don't then it doesn't do anything.
Custom Cosmetics are for the most part pretty global
especially the whitelisted ones
Let me understand are u saying that u should b able to uninstall from the ui on the join server page?
on unofficial when you are setting up the whitelist for custom cosmetics, you have to also setup the dynamic downloads. but you can skip that step.
the mod menu ingame is the ASA client. its just reading the curseforge website for the mod info
If no whitelist is specified, you can use a custom cosmetic and force anyone within render distance to download the custom cosmetics being applied
no, no whitelist will use officials list which limits a lot.
Set it up? I play on unofficial and official and there's no setup i have to do
if you disable the whitelist then dynamic downloads are also disabled.
because you don't host the server lol
I use a lot of cosmetics that do not specify they are whitelisted accross a bunch of servers, so there may be borked coding somewhere
custom cosmetics aren't gonna be said anywhere. the whitelist isn't shown to players.
Yes u can do thst but u dont have to.
the server owner would have to tell you.
what
Lmao I actually host a cluster. So....
if you don't setup dynamic downloads then the only choise is no dynamic downloads, or the official whitelist which has it for that stuff.
I have 2 customs in the works I can test out when they're done. One just needs the animation rigging finished and the other reduces the performance impact of the phoenix (which will come a little later in the year)
then you probably ignored the setting and are using the official whitelist.
I own and run the servers on my cluster. Been running it for about 3 years
neither custom cosmetics or dynamic downloads have existed that long so that doesn't really matter lol.
Most custom cosmetics are whitlisted and so I dont whitlist anything. I use as close to official setting as I can except for in game things like stats and breeding stuff
then your using the official whitelist which is what I said.
Didn't ignore it perse but I just dont use it. Its easier that way. Using un-whitelisted cosmetics can cause lots of problems
they really don't lol. they are cosmetics.
No it hasn't. Custom cosmetics is about 1 year or something. At least I didn't know about it till last year anyway.
Fun fact: Curseforge moderators need to approve the cosmetic, in every element such as description, screenshots, icons, and game performance.
I wouldn't be surprised if the cosmetic gets approved, it's automatically added until a problem is found
Lmao yes they do. They can cause crashes for instance
Would need dev confirmation/denial on that though
the ones in the whitelist can also cause issues. especially if you are including things that are just gonna be the result of memory usage. (most likely reason a cosmetic will crash the game)
there are always exceptions but even in the whitelist there are mods that cause issues.
Yeah curseforge and wc has to approve the mod. But curseforge approval isnt very extensive. Wc is a little more but still yeah they dont do a full debug which is why when mods come out they have to do a lot of updates to fix various issues
I would include those ones that are GB in size lol.
Definitely. Just thst using whitlisted ones limit the issues to an extent
wouldn't be automatically added to the official whitelist as some mod authors have said they are waiting for it after being approved.
I found yesterday that the Timeless Federation shirt+kiba reduced my in-game performance by ~60% when mounted on a dino in third person view.
The QA is definitely in need of an overhaul on the modfront
That's a good observation to know 
Definitely, im actually starting to learn how to make mods and yeah its really cool but Definitely has issues
I'd love to do custom audio implementations, but rip me for not having another drive slot for a 2tb+ drive 
Might just get an external later down the line for it
That's what I did. I just bought an external drive. Not cheap but its what I want to do. Got lots of ideas and tired of waiting for a modder to fo it lol
I mainly need the devkit to figure out the world processing on audio to create sounds that can shine within the world, unlike Helldivers2 audio (The in-game processing really botched what the audio team has done.)
So what did you guys agree on? Is there or is isn't there a way to clear/delete Dynamically Downloaded mods data from inside ARK?
For PC at this current time:
- Spend time going through your mods folder within the installation paths and delete files
- Uninstall all mods and spend time searching for every cosmetic you previously had
- Buy the mod to acquire the Uninstall button
For Console at this current time:
- Uninstall all mods and spend time searching for every cosmetic you previously had
- Buy the mod to acquire the Uninstall button
Not much we can do that doesn't waste time, as we are at the mercy of SG and WC
Just pray we get the button
I would not want to run the Devkit from an external drive. Even running if from an NVMe SSD drive is sloooow.
I play on a gtx980, slow is what I expect 
when ark poc wiping?
Do fabricated crossbows or BP's drop on other maps than Lost Colony?
Yes, drakeling hoards are a great way of acquisition
There isnt
Awsome. Thank you
Its not ideal but I run ark from an external too. Its doable as long as u got a good cpu and plenty of ram
I haven't found anything lost colony related on any other maps loot
Anybody know what the status of Vanilla Tek Gens being fixed by Wildcard might be? game is pretty much unplayable now as turning on a Tek Gen will crash your cluster
Only through Drakeling Hoards.
Anyone know when the issue with them will be fixed? The one where it sayd you need dlc even when you have it?
Lol. I fly over the redwood forest on the Island and hear a roar. I look up and see a Thyla flying about 50 meter above the tree tops. So maybe pigs don't have wings, but in Ark cats sure do!
I haven't run into that problem as I've bought all but Astraeos and the animated series cosmetics. There's a bunch of ways to try getting it to work such as
- Uninstalling/Installing DLC (Map + Expansions Pass)
- Logout + close program/Login to Steam
- Full shutdown/Startup of PC
I'm assuming you've already attempted this, but I'm also assuming you didn't attempt a full shutdown of the PC for each step in the process (tedium of troubleshooting in the most tried and true way)
My coworker however, did have that issue on Xbox. It was resolved when the LC DLC map finished downloading
Also remember that you have to dance naked around the PC counter clockwise at full moon while offering a goat for it to work. (This is just a joke in case anyone thought otherwise, but just as likely to work as some of the other suggestions on this Discord).
Does anyone know single player settings to make it feel like a 20x server? I have feeling I shouldn’t just change everything to 20
I do not, but I'm sure there's documentation on it somewhere on the web should you not get the answers you're looking for
What do you want to be 20x? Experience gain? Harvest Amounts. Breeding Times. Wild Dino Levels??????
20x wild dino levels sounds hectic.
I’m not sure just how if you play an unofficial server that’s labeled 20x I think it’s 20x harvest but idk the other settings they change to make breeding fast and raising fast but balanced to enable imprint
Sounds kinda fun, but a bit challenging!
Good luck taming a level 3000 Rex and how much torpor would be needed to KO it.
Most of the settings are not visible in the GUI in game. So needs editing the game.ini and gus.ini. Check out ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
I want my player stats boosted but not broken the way they word the different settings (ex. The 4 diff Dino categories is absurd and I can’t figure out which one affects the stat per point you put in)
Are you able to adjust the ini on console? I’ve adjusted ini in nitrado but new to single player adjustments
Did anyone notice that they removed the dynamic download option?
Not to my knowledge
From the settings menu
Launching to check, one moment
Damn that’s unfortunate I know you can adjust fog and foliage visibility and gamma on console
What is the best map/biome to put a starbucks?
Extinction/LC
Anyone’s ark graphics settings keep resetting?
It's still on the Steam client.
Not in xbox
Doesn't crash mine
Is there a way I can see just my teleporters?
That sucks
oof, yea its looking like its slowly spreading as cluster restarts hit.
I keep my gen on so..... idk
Anyone playing on like a laptop?
Any1 on smalltribes crossplay????
Anyone else experiencing ping spikes on PS5. Unplayable
Yes, but on unofficial with boosted rates
You could but u need a decent graphics card and cpu and at least 16 gb of ram
No mine stays around 90
3060 12700i7 and do got ram
Trying to figure out a way to keep it cooler cause it does run but just very hot
Very very hot
What's your fps cap?
Where is your fans located
Why cant I take all from my dedi i have nothing in my inventory'
I set it to like 40 cause I don’t rlly notice a difference past that
Intake on the bottom I believe
I noticed a 10 degree difference between 15fps and 30fps on my gtx980
My cpu is the issue
Try not constantly utilizing 100% gpu and it will be fine
My cpu even runs like 30% and my gpu at like 10%
Maybe, laptop isn’t exposed to much dust but I’m gonna try turning down turbo boost first
Taking it apart is sorta my last resort
I wonder if it suggests people are duping? If that is still a thing
Might b whats ur internet speed and another issue could b what region the server your using is in
I have a Intel Core i7 6700 and it sits at around 40-47C in asa
My Internet speed is 250mb/s, and EU based servers. Sometimes happens after an update, but none released today?
I found a wild creature with it and idk if it is worth expending the resources to tame it with that thing
Have you checked the trait page of the wiki?
Yeah, it doesn’t really talk about that kind of trait
Can you have an outpost underwater and farm resources there even without tek?
The trait is mainly used if you're breeding
You have a weight capacity. Best thing to do is throw all out of your dodi and then pick all up from the floor
Weight Frail means the a baby from this dino has a higher chance to inherit the lower of the weight stat from the parents. So pretty useless unless you want low weight stat.
Issue is mines in a laptop
Not to my knowledge, unless you get an UW cave.
Like can you still place structures and beds underwater even without tek?
Oh, yeah you can drop a vault and stuff, a bed I'm not sure but I'd think so - as long as it's on a foundation. I thought you meant a vacuum base
Have you attempted utilizing a fan pad (I'm horrible with terminology, I know) under the laptop and seeing if that helps?
You can. But need to repair you scuba tank constantly. And don't go offline while down there.
Ahh no no i'm not that advanced by now
It would be just a outpost to farm metal but i don't have any vacuums by now so i would work with linked storages
I don't think you can have a gennie though
ohh
