ark-survival-ascended

[wispy frigate]

I’m playing on a ps4, so might as well be

[karmic ivy]

Ah

Ark really isn't kind to fps huh

[cunning solar]

Are spike barriers susceptible to the auto decay on official if they aren't touching other things?

[pliant locust]

Hardly optimized is what I call it, both in terms of storage the game takes up as well as resources needed to play it

[nimble mountain]

guys i need your help

[fast sphinx]

yes ?

[nimble mountain]

when i add a server to my favourits on steam, i cant find any servers anymore and i can reinstall ark

what can i do

[fast sphinx]

there is a favorite option in game

[nimble mountain]

no i cant find anything

[fast sphinx]

Oh

[karmic ivy]

That's a really weird bug

[nimble mountain]

in favourits only 3 or 4 and on inofficial only 2 or something

[fast sphinx]

Create a ticket on the support maybe ?

[karmic ivy]

^^

[fast sphinx]

Here the link

[nimble mountain]

thanks

[shell spindle]

Who wanna play primal fear?

[brave steeple]

are 3x loot drops too op?

[dense fern]

How much melee do you need for 500 dmg with the tek punch

[fast sphinx]

Try in solo

[brave steeple]

i got two ascendand saddles in one blue drop

[echo path]

@viral shore The Imprints are not getting the full percentage on lost Island It is messed up please fix However I am raising 30 rex's so its not working!eu 1135

[fast sphinx]

Velonasaur stalk alpha is op if you play on gen 2

Full asc armor in 1h

And also a lot of tek

Just for killing dilo

[maiden burrow]

im looking for a tribe or anyone to play whit on an official server. im online very often and im 18 and in EU

[fast sphinx]

pve pvp ? @maiden burrow

[maiden burrow]

pvp

i can play pve too

i dont mind

[uncut fractal]

Thought i heard air raid sirens in the game

[severe gyro]

Quick question but does anyone know how Rare is it to spawn into a Map infront of a unicorn?

[long flicker]

depends on the map

[potent raptor]

Rex died because of my spike walls

And it was my tamed rex….

Tried telling its dumb behind to move

[long flicker]

of course it didn't listen, they don't have ears on their ass

[potent raptor]

lol

Dumbass rex litterally kept walking into it

[long flicker]

was probably on neutral

[lusty tusk]

Is there any way to solve the added earth layer in the game ?

Like there is an added layer of ground and I can go throughout it

And see under it but really balls breaking tho because the stuffes goes underground and i cant see the good way to climb mountains or sum

[brave steeple]

Does anybody know a calculator that will calculate how much i should set cuddle interval if i have 50x maturation?

[long flicker]

0.02

[brave steeple]

oh

thank you

[long flicker]

that should make it have one imprint every 9.6 minutes or so

[brave steeple]

i had 0.242 like syntac had on ultimate ark but it didnt seem to work well

[lusty tusk]

Pls

[long flicker]

I don't think I get what your question is supposed to mean

[brave steeple]

btw how did you calculate it?

[karmic ivy]

I think he did 1 : 50

[long flicker]

1/[maturation rate]
only works for smaller maturation rates like 50x or below, because otherwise it just makes you have to imprint a lot

[brave steeple]

ok

[lusty tusk]

There is an added layer of ground in my world, i see earth or rock but i can go throughout it and see underground, so the stuffs go underground and i cant see the real way to climb or pass places

[karmic ivy]

This is gonna be helpful in my sp world, tysm

[lusty tusk]

My english sucks

[long flicker]

ah I see
which map?

[lusty tusk]

Lost Island

[karmic ivy]

Lost island ground is very buggy
Idk whether there is a solution yet

[lusty tusk]

Its buggy for u too ?

[long flicker]

there's no "solution" but they'll get around to updating it eventually
hopefully

[karmic ivy]

No, but I've heard lots of stories on reddit and some on discord

[lusty tusk]

Why ark ps4 is that lagged tho

[potent raptor]

Which button do you use to activate the mic on xbox for ark

[lusty tusk]

Check settings man

Or go for evrytime recording mic

[karmic ivy]

Ark is really unoptimized, and ps4 isn't that strong so

[potent raptor]

Audio right?

[grave kestrel]

is there a way to collect only one material from something like only wood no thatch?

[lusty tusk]

Ye

[lusty tusk]

Get beavers

[karmic ivy]

There's not, but there are tames that specialize in one
Nvm there are some exceptions

[lusty tusk]

They give really small amount of thatch

[potent raptor]

Its mic i think

Im so confused lol

[karmic ivy]

Also I'm pretty sure trikes don't give wood

[grave kestrel]

ok thanks

[lusty tusk]

Np

[long flicker]

only with dinos, no tools

[long flicker]

they do

[karmic ivy]

Np
If you want the rates for other resources you can check dododex

[potent raptor]

Oof so is it like the mic volume setting

[karmic ivy]

If creatures are #1 or 2 gatherers for something 9/10 times they don't give a lot of the other

[brave steeple]

also why does i still have christmas event? i removed it from active events, i have even music and christmas menu

do i have to restart the game?

[potent raptor]

Ok i actually do need help with this

[long flicker]

that's a pretty fucking inconvenient method of finding the answer to that question

but, in the end you'll just learn it with experience

[severe gyro]

Thanks

[molten otter]

is farming the desert titan a good way to get loot on extinction?

[potent raptor]

So my vc worked before

[silent matrix]

Similar thing with the stryder but its,a no

[karmic ivy]

I meant more that you can go to the dododex section of the resource, and then look at the top gatherers

[potent raptor]

But it seems like it stops working after i start moving

[karmic ivy]

Sounds like a bug, I'd report it

[brave steeple]

why i cant kill a baby pteranodon with a pteranodon?

also is there a way to normally place fences?

[karmic ivy]

Its mother refuses

[brave steeple]

hm

thats why

[karmic ivy]

Maybe pvp is disabled?

What are you playing on?

[brave steeple]

on xbox single

[lethal blade]

can someone tell me why my single player isnt loading up when i add mods

[karmic ivy]

Maybe go in-game, to the main menu, and you can check somewhere there whether pvp/friendly damage is enabled

Idk how it works on xbox though, I'm on pc

[brave steeple]

ok

i can kill small pteros by myself btw

[karmic ivy]

Ah, good

[heavy dune]

yeah on console you can enable and disable friendly fire

[karmic ivy]

Alright

[brave steeple]

ok

also should i use wood fence fundations or wooden fence support?

[heavy dune]

i use rails lol, just easier to use

[brave steeple]

true

[karmic ivy]

I don't use walls, but I only play sp

[brave steeple]

i wanna do a wall around my beach bob base

[heavy dune]

felt that lol
i’ve got like all my stuff ( like fabricator and smithy ) on a few thatch foundations

[brave steeple]

i have it like that too

[heavy dune]

if you’re wanting to do that, i would take a doedic or a beaver

[karmic ivy]

Lmao same
I was busy converting everything to stone but found it too grindy lol

[heavy dune]

yeah, i just prefer it more open anyway

i just have that and a bunch of spiky walls around it

[brave steeple]

i wanna make a base in other location, i just wanna test beacuse i am doing railing wall first time

[karmic ivy]

I once played with a friend and he made a base for us while I was offline and I'm still grateful for that lol

[heavy dune]

ah ok

[brave steeple]

thats why breeding pteros

[heavy dune]

i have like 100 stone foundations that i keep putting off to make a base out of

[karmic ivy]

I just realized that I don't use 90% of arks structures and gear simply because it's so expensive

Also I didn't know at first that anky or iron pick were useful to get more iron so I just gathered 80 iron for a longneck with a stone pick

[heavy dune]

metal really isn’t a problem for me, just a magmasaur can help a bunch

[karmic ivy]

Note that this was my first playthrough, when I didn't have any of the dlcs yet

[lethal blade]

can someone help me with mods please

[heavy dune]

it smelts fast too, i use it and a furnace lol

[heavy dune]

ahhh ok

[karmic ivy]

In my current playthrough I still use anky with argy anyways just because of how easy it is mid-game and how iconic it is

[heavy dune]

yeah it’s really good, especially with someone on the anky too

[karmic ivy]

Definitely, although having a decent argy rider is a must

[karmic ivy]

I learned that here the hard way

[heavy dune]

yeah that’s true

[karmic ivy]

Anyways how do you usually transport your magma? With a quetzal? Or cryopods?

[timber sand]

@heavy dune i have a magmasaur and its smelting ability is really slow. Its just better to have multiple furnaces

[heavy dune]

really? mine has worked really well for me

[karmic ivy]

With a magma you can smelt metal while outside your base

[timber sand]

True

[karmic ivy]

Also it's much cooler to do it with a walking volcano lol

[timber sand]

Im raising a green one now maybe the imprinting will help with smelting power

[karmic ivy]

Maybe

I don't know alot about magmas, but good luck

[heavy dune]

mine is a female, maybe that effects it

[timber sand]

Me niether i havent played genesis at all

[karmic ivy]

Did you get the magma egg from lost island then?

[timber sand]

Ye

[long flicker]

yeah I'd much rather own multiple furnaces rather than a magmasaur

for smelting, I Mean

magmasaurs are pretty good for mining

[silent matrix]

Anyone selling mana or other dino? poly or metal or other ??

[karmic ivy]

Also it's more efficient to bring an anky because it has more weight reduction iirc

[long flicker]

definitely not more efficient
weight isn't everything

in fact my anky is always completely encumbered when I return from my mining trip

I pump health rather than weight on it

[karmic ivy]

Isn't that because you always want to carry as much as possible?
Also with efficient I meant more that you can bring more iron per trip

[timber sand]

Thats the advanatage of an argy you overweight the anky and can still carry with an argy

[long flicker]

the carrier's weight matters, the thing that's being carried doesn't give a shit

in case of karkinos, carrier's weight also doesn't matter, you can just yeet the anky around, which is what I do

[karmic ivy]

Right, I forgot that carriers carry the weight, not the carried

[timber sand]

My anky can carry more metal with the argy then the magamsaur by itself

But yes the magmasaur is good for outside of base smelting

[long flicker]

though being able to be carried by fliers is a big advantage, ngl
but most people on official do own skiffs

[karmic ivy]

I don't, so for me anky with argy is still one of the best combinations because you don't need to bring him home by foot

Though one can argue that I'd likely bring the anky to aberration, because of it's high density in metal nodes
But I still think that the anky is better even then, because it can just be carried by a karkinos or by cryopod

[timber sand]

On abberartion i duel wield ankies for metal runs

[long flicker]

that is indeed where my base is

[karmic ivy]

I know you mean with karkinos, but I just want to imagine a survivor carrying two huge beasts by their tail

[timber sand]

Two large dino clubs XD

[karmic ivy]

New Mantis weapon just dropped

[timber sand]

That needs to be a mod. Mantis picking up dinos and then using for combat lol

[karmic ivy]

I agree

Taming creatures using their own species is gonna be the new meta
This channel really just dies every few seconds

Am I the only one who doesn't do note runs?

Probably not lol

[long flicker]

obviously not

I used to not do note runs before I got bored of early game

[karmic ivy]

I like doing early game because there are lots of objectives to word towards
Getting better structures, taming creatures, start with placing down breeding infrastructure
I might be thinking more about mid game tho

[long flicker]

yeah you're thinking of mid game

early game is jsut "I spent the past 4 hours collecting resources and levelling up to finally get to level 60 so I can start getting into some mid game shit"

[karmic ivy]

True

[long flicker]

so I like to do a noterun to level 60
though I'm against note runs, my will is too weak lol

[karmic ivy]

Though I see that most in aberration, where getting a spino saddle is a huge wall towards progress

[karmic ivy]

For me it's easy to stop myself from doing note runs because I have no idea where they are

[long flicker]

lol

I looked at ONE note run video and now I can't stop myself

[karmic ivy]

Oof

I saw a reddit post which showed all the notes in ark and the difficulty of getting them
If I weren't playing a completely different game I probably would have snapped lol

Though it's becoming a more interesting option ever since I quit abb because of the grind towards the spino saddle

Also this isn't really related but you seem kinda familiar
Did you used to have a nickname in this server which was something like 'Beach bob' for a couple of days and did/do you always hang out here and in #bobs-with-probs?

Because I know someone who did who had the exact same pfp

[wispy frigate]

Bobster was never beach bob

Afaik

[karmic ivy]

It was for like a couple of days for a joke

[wispy frigate]

Probably then

Never seen anyone else with the same pfp

[karmic ivy]

Anyways on a more ark related note who do y'all prefer, spino or rex?

[wispy frigate]

Spino

[karmic ivy]

Yeah, spino aswell

I don't even care about which one is better, I just like how it looks and how you can get its saddle at a lower level

[sand holly]

Who knows an official ps4/ps5 server with crop supply boost

[molten otter]

dont you just love it when one of your tames just dissapears

[brave steeple]

i think baby killing in real life to exp up is a great idea, i wonder why no one do it

that is the reason why spartans were so strong

[molten otter]

I dont get it, I have all my other tames accounted for and my argie is just gone

[silent matrix]

ay any1 one wanna help me get artifacts and tame megatheriums and other stuff for the island boss fight? (broodmother) (ill give u the stuff u need also settings are not op) oh and i want to make my base bigger more info in dms!

[long flicker]

I don't think you get any xp if you leave a baby to die

[fast sphinx]

does fundation can block carniflora spawn?
I'm gonna get rid of all these plants

[ionic mirage]

@long flicker

[long flicker]

hm?

[ionic mirage]

I never knew how strong turrets were

[long flicker]

thank the other guy who suggested turrets first

[ionic mirage]

Yeah

[long flicker]

I forgot who they were

[ionic mirage]

Like first try wr brought 1 turret and a bronto and we murdered like 10 different wyverns no issue

We tried like yesterday but with 4 turrets and a manned turret

Cut the wyvern population in half

[long flicker]

it'll grow back in 4 seconds

[ionic mirage]

Then ark server crashed and all our progress was reset

[long flicker]

oof

[ionic mirage]

What sucks more is that when we were there we only found 2 posion wyvern eggs

Both being level 16

[brave steeple]

what if i eat fertilized egg?

[long flicker]

you eat it

[ionic mirage]

From what

[long flicker]

and you gain food
and you lose an egg

[brave steeple]

will pteranodon grow in my stomach?

[long flicker]

because the egg went in your belly

[fluid brook]

sure

[brave steeple]

oh

[brave steeple]

thats cool, i will have wings

[long flicker]

if you eat a seed then does watermelon grow in your stomach?

[brave steeple]

i will eat it

[brave steeple]

yes

like with trees

[long flicker]

ok, then you'll get a pteranodon in your stomach

[brave steeple]

i ate too much narcoberries seeds

[ionic mirage]

What should i do with like the level 16 poison egg

[brave steeple]

turn it unto kibble

into

not worth growing unless its your first wyvern

[ionic mirage]

They grow basically instantly it’s unofficial friends server

[fast sphinx]

an Eurypterid put me at 200 torpor, i get 600 hp and asc armor he doesn't do any damage so i'm stuck

how can i suicide?

😂

[brave steeple]

depends where

[ionic mirage]

Relog?

[fast sphinx]

i've been waiting for 15 minutes

[fast sphinx]

still attacking me

i think im gonna wait for my tribe to log in

[ionic mirage]

Log out until offline protection kicks in

[fast sphinx]

it take time?

I hate these plants and these eurypterid on gen 2

[wary plover]

When I ride the dinosaur I tamed, the dinosaur does not go away. How do I drive the dinosaur?

[long flicker]

"go away"?

[molten otter]

do gachas pick up fertalized eggs and do they eat fertalized eggs

[long flicker]

nah

[molten otter]

dang

[long flicker]

well, no for first one
I think they eat eggs

[molten otter]

so much for that idea

[long flicker]

they eat anything

[molten otter]

how much flex tape is needed to stop my dinos from laying eggs while im gone

[fast sphinx]

thx it worked damn

[wary plover]

When I ride the dinosaur I tamed, the dinosaur does not go away. How do I drive the dinosaur?

[long flicker]

bruh

[fast sphinx]

with steering wheel

[ionic mirage]

What

[fluid brook]

put a saddle in the saddle slot in it's inventory

[silent matrix]

It's following him 🤔

[ionic mirage]

I think he’s following the dino

[silent matrix]

Yup

[ionic mirage]

No no

[brave steeple]

3 rolls + disable mating which counts as 10, so 13

[ionic mirage]

He means the controls

What are the controls for moving a dino for pc

@fluid brook @silent matrix

[little meteor]

When is 2x

[fluid brook]

idk with a keyboard XD

[prisma sand]

Same as moving your survivor

[solemn merlin]

Looking to play with someone on ps4

[long flicker]

there's a recruitment channel, ask there

[molten otter]

wait does the counter still tick down even if mating is disabled?

[placid jewel]

Heyyyyy

[karmic ivy]

Hello

What are all of your favorite maps?
I really like the island, rag, and abb, though that's probably really common

[sturdy wraith]

Guys where can i find good pve servers?

[fluid brook]

depends of the platform you're playing on , but go in role asignment and take the xbox , ps4 or pc role to get acces to all server channels

[sturdy wraith]

oh ok

[molten otter]

can spinos be feared?

by a yuty

[fluid brook]

no

list is on the wiki

[molten otter]

thanks

[pastel hemlock]

Guys, I'm looking for a good stacking mode. Not ultra stacks plz. I need something that is not too op. Like double or triple the max stack size

[fluid brook]

search into the steam workshop

[tough yarrow]

You could just use the ini configs, if you want just stacks.

[pastel hemlock]

@tough yarrow that's a lot of work. I remember once doing that for everything but then forgot to save the file

[tough yarrow]

NinjaKillers pastebin has it here https://pastebin.com/qiPNRi8z

ARK: Survival Evolved

[manic leaf]

Guys I ergently need the cords for the lighthouse in lost island

[potent raptor]

How do i turn on mic for ark on xbox

[severe crag]

rip evo events

[leaden pike]

@manic leaf top right corner of map super hard to miss.

[potent raptor]

Im on xbox can you tell me how do i turn it on?

[tough yarrow]

@halcyon wren #735196277221883964 for lfg.

[cedar plaza]

@runic ruin so, when I upload a survivor, will he stay there forever? Or will he be deletet after 24 hrs?

[potent raptor]

Ight anyone can help me mic wont work xbox ark

[runic ruin]

He should stay there.wouldnt say forever as this is ark lol one wrong patch or update n always possibility of losing ya character.but ya character should be fine in there past the 24 HR mark.i left my alt in upload for months n I'm still using him now lol but if u upload ya do it at ya own risk

[cedar plaza]

Alright thanks. I'm just scared of losing my alpha character. Played half year for it

[runic ruin]

Know the feeling that's why I started a new one lol it's always handy to have multiple characters just incase somethin happens to one of em

[cedar plaza]

Other topic but do you know a fast way to unlock all hair styles?

[prime yacht]

@potent raptor First, check the headset and cord for a mute switch (I turn mine off accidentally all the time). If it doesn't have one, some headsets have a raise mic to mute, so make sure the mic is all the way down.

[void fiber]

I'm new. I need some advice how to not fucking die every 5 feet

[cedar plaza]

You could change something in the rules. Like Player Resistance.

[cedar plaza]

And later set it back to normal.

[void fiber]

How would I access that menu

I played ark mobile for awhile. Ps4 ark is way harder

[cedar plaza]

Playing on ps4 since 2018. I'm kinda used to the lags 😅

[void fiber]

How can I access the player resistance? I'm on a pvp server

[small depot]

Best place for chitin in lost island?

[cedar plaza]

If you are on a official server, I guess it's not possible. I thought you play singleplayer. Xd

[void fiber]

I kill turtles usually

Or bugs

Grab a tank like beast with u. Peg it with arrows

[cedar plaza]

Or trilobits or how the name was 😂

[void fiber]

Those too. Like ancient shellfish creatures

[cedar plaza]

Is there any option to deactivate PvP on an Non-Dedicated Session? I checked everything but my friend and I were always able to hurt each other. It's annoying in a fight for example. He's always punching me.

[tough yarrow]

Disable friendly fire

[potent raptor]

Ight

[potent raptor]

Its seems like a problem with other game since all my other headsets work with other games

[prime yacht]

@potent raptor Okay, let me start up ark, and I'll look through the settings to see if there's one for that.

[potent raptor]

Alrighty

Ive been having this problem for some time

[prime yacht]

which xbox do you have?

[little olive]

i have a question, fellow ark players

is it worth it to buy ark on steam, so i can ply mods and modded maps or not since i have it on epic

i got it on epic when it was free, so techinally thisll be my first time spending money on ark, but

are the mods worth the money if i already have the game?

[shut jolt]

There are some free mods for ark witch are pretty good

[little olive]

ik

like fjordur

its considered a modded map right?

[shut jolt]

Yea

[prime yacht]

@potent raptor The only Ark setting I could find was to enable global chat for servers, but if it's working for everyone else, then that should be fine. In the Xbox's settings the mic can be disabled, but if it's working for you in other games, then that shouldn't be the problem either. I'm sorry, I don't know what else to suggest.

[outer idol]

What

Nvm

[potent raptor]

1

[potent raptor]

Oh ok

[timid rapids]

Had anybody ever tamed an angler in the Emerald Forest on Valguero?

[prime yacht]

@potent raptorI have the Series S, so I'm not familiar with the One's settings, but it might be worth going through them just in case something can help. I think mine are under Device & Accessories, then Volume (with the headset attached), but it might be different on the One.

[silent matrix]

anyone want to play since i have to wait another 6 hours to send a meesage

[sage vessel]

the ferox can walk on lava??

[winter cradle]

They banning for third party crosshairs now?

[molten otter]

why do mek rockets despawn like right away

[timid rapids]

No

Just make sure it isn't some aftermarket junk that's hooking into the graphics API and you'll be fine. If it does that, BattlEye will probably flag you.

Use some proprietary shit, like OverWolf.

[winter cradle]

Buddy got perma banned for 1 but i have no clueof what he was using

[timid rapids]

I think OverWolf is trusted in terms of hooking, so if you manage to get a crosshair in that, you'll be fine. If you're really curious, just send WC a support ticket and ask, or you'll be lucky and somebody on the team will respond here.

My monitor has crosshairs built in, maybe yours does as well.

[frigid oyster]

draw a plus on your monitor

[winter cradle]

Scotch tape 👍

[timid rapids]

lol

[flat quiver]

are sinomacrops on valguero

[silent matrix]

I wish. But, no

[frigid oyster]

also one of the reasons i joined this server was to ask if anyone knew how to fix primitive plus (and i kinda wanted to see if any of the devs would comment on why its basically abandoned despite being completely unplayable but like thats not happening lol)

[stone lily]

how do i always allow structure pick up on my server?

[pliant locust]

sadly not the devs are suspiciously quiet on the prim+ issue, not even reacting when there are super hard broken things (like the forge/smithy for MONTHS) that stall progress for everyone for a really long time. i guess u can consider it silently abandoned and trying to forget it by the devs at this point

[frigid oyster]

I hate that too because im personally not a fan of the sci-fi aspects of the game and would love to play a version of the game without it, but due to the loading issue I can't even try it

theres that one primitive lite mod but all that does is remove a bunch of engrams

[pseudo meteor]

TCs are a lot to maintain. They'll break for virtually every update basically.

[flat matrix]

Me and my tribe got raided ):

[pliant locust]

yea i honestly enjoyed ark when it was still a survival game instead of alien robot hybrid sandbox that its now (tho it is somewhat fun i admit that) and i loved prim+ / wished it would return but the devs keep completley quiet and brake it with like every update / major release of new stuff even more

[flat matrix]

So that’s fun

[pseudo meteor]

My tribe and I

[frigid oyster]

I guess, honestly id be happy if it wasn't even maintained, just like an older version of the game, as long as i could actually play it

[timid rapids]

Prime+ is abandoned

[pseudo meteor]

Turn on time capsule on steam
Play 2015 Ark

[timid rapids]

I don't like the sci-fi stuff either. I don't think a lot of people do, but some aspects help with quality of life, like the cryopods.

[pseudo meteor]

There is a prim+ revamp project going on

[pliant locust]

yea you need 30+ mins just to join a server. getting kicked multiple times while trying so. many engrams are not functional at first and certain spawns of wild dinos break everything around. its obvious they havent worked on prim+ even a bit for years given how broken it is. other mods that do even more extreme total conversions work just fne as ppl actually update and adjust them

[pseudo meteor]

Remember some of the caves without pods??
Snow cave on island for ex...
I actually took the time to breed cats right inside so I could get baby to follow me inside lol

[timid rapids]

lol

[pliant locust]

SE release time was peak for me. i was fine with SE having some fantasy creatures added to tame but after that well xD

[pliant locust]

did that with allos in the ice cave on rag too lol

for the queen

[timid rapids]

It's funny how many people think the same thing. Some of the scifi stuff in the game is outright silly, especially for PvP.

SE was peak time for me as well... some of my most fond memories are from that time.

[pseudo meteor]

Well you can disable specific engrams

[timid rapids]

I play classic official servers which disables 95% of the scifi stuff.

[pliant locust]

yea and sure i love pods finally unlimited dino storage on official servers, but for many parts, especially with ext and gen it just turned it into an actual sandbox. dont even think tek is valuable anymore given u can get like all of the tek stuff in a day with a lvl 1 char just collecting drops on gen2

[timid rapids]

They kept in the things that help with QOL, like cryo pods. Keeping stuff in cryos also helps with server lag which is great.

[timid rapids]

I never played any of the Genesis expansions and neither did my friends unless forced to on officials.

[pseudo meteor]

But destroys production

Eggs, resources

[silent matrix]

Just becausei ts easier to survive dosent mean you arent surviving cough genesis 1

hey i have aroun 120 hours to ark, i made a base, come some1 experienced tell me his opinion and how likley and ez is for someone to raid me?
im on a 6 tribe server x100
whoever can give me an opinion lmk i sent u pic and u rate me tell me flaws suggestions etc

[timid rapids]

Bro, they can add some some of this stuff without making it look like it came from star trek

[frigid oyster]

source?

I will follow this obsessively

[timid rapids]

Since you're so new, you're probably easily raidable.

[pliant locust]

ye i enjoyed the building up on gen1 as well as on ab, day 1 there was great to get an actual challenge with many deaths again in ur struggle vs dinos lol

[silent matrix]

Cant use it till you convince someone to help you with the boss

[pseudo meteor]

I seen something on my Twitter ill have to find it..

[silent matrix]

i was 3 years in mobile, can i dm u a phoot and tell me what u think?

[timid rapids]

Yeah just add me

[vapid bison]

is there a way to turn the boss timer off on lost island?

[pseudo meteor]

Did basilisk get ya early on Ab? 😂

[pliant locust]

yea i know that but bosses (most at least that you can rex rush are a joke) i and many others give rex eggs 377 hatch away to ppl who ask, just takes a bit of breeding etc which got really made easy now and you can even solo them in a week when u farm the stuff needed to start it at the same time

[pliant locust]

couple times, as they said "portal was the easy spawn zone" lol

[pseudo meteor]

Lol lol yes

Nice joke huh

[silent matrix]

Genesis 2 is the only map without much challenge. If every area on genesis 2 was like in innards in terms of chaos it would have gotten better feedback

[pliant locust]

and ravagers coming from everywhere etc etc etc i loved it tho 😛

[pseudo meteor]

Ravagers so annoying their bleeds..

[silent matrix]

That type of thing is rare but I guess.

[pliant locust]

i actually think many are at this point or where, CI / Rag etc arent hard to start out on at all

[pliant locust]

not on official pve bro

[silent matrix]

They arent hard but they arent easy. Gen2 is easy

[pseudo meteor]

If u want it hard then change settings so it is harder

U can beef dinos per class. Damage and resistance

[pliant locust]

i played some unoff and even pvp for a change but i like main official 😛

[silent matrix]

Yeah but rag is a "classic" map so it dosent get much shit. Same with island. Island is fairly easy

[silent matrix]

I play official pve not many people give out super eggs for free

[pseudo meteor]

Island is still the best tho weighing all in. Most caves. Actual UW arty caves too. Tek cave. 4 boss arenas.

[pliant locust]

not even rexes or gigas lol ? i mean rexes have been capped for a really long time and so many have the lines now

[silent matrix]

Nope

I rarely see that

I have capped x rex lines yet I dont give out for free

[pliant locust]

wow come PC i got alot of spare rex and theri armies bred (trying to solo the gen1 bosses so i lose alot of them) ill give u 100 if u want lol

[silent matrix]

I play pve xbox might me why I dknt see anyone giving free eggs

[pliant locust]

hm i see that with like shadowmanes and other rather new lines alot but ive seen rexes being capped like for a year now ? they arent really valuable at all anymore

[silent matrix]

And really with or without tek, the game is super easy with those free eggs you ade talking about

[quartz kraken]

I'm just trying to prepare for the inevitable should I worry about Cannon or rockets for golem taming?
I don't want the wrong thing learned 😂

[silent matrix]

The core game aspect (taming) makes the game too easy. Tek is just the slapstick

[silent matrix]

Cannon. Rockets dont work

[pliant locust]

yea thats what i mean, this was initially about even free tek, i mean like in 2017 / 2018 u would hardly see players with tek structures at all and you could sell them for alot of things like whole armies for bossfights that you couldnt raise as a solo player or couple wyverns, or like 100k hard poly etc so thats what i meant with "even tek lost alot of its value"

[quartz kraken]

so cannons only?

[silent matrix]

Yes

[quartz kraken]

oh boy😂

[silent matrix]

Cryopods made raising thing a joke

Wyvern milk just requires the right trap

[pliant locust]

build a trap otherwise its borderline undoable even with a tribe if u wanan do the quetz method lol

[silent matrix]

To get milk? You can do that on foot

[pliant locust]

yea, i started raising things in 2017 and even then i only did wyverns at all as they allowed for long periods of not refilling food and imprinting didnt require vastly different kibbles etc

[quartz kraken]

well I don't even know if I wanna go through with the try to tame everything I can on lost island really especially over golems

I especially doubt I can do mosa and such

[pseudo meteor]

Cannon safer
Rockets can work but prob gonna kill them
Get them to walk into gateways get trapped have cannon on a paracer rdy blast in face rinse repeat. Helps to have buddy with riot shield keep golem in spot

[pliant locust]

mosa is farily easy just grindy as u need to shoot it long time 🙂 but golems are actually easy if u have a trap for it

[silent matrix]

The only thing you can complain about in tek is the aesthetic. Every single other problem I can list something that came before that was more of a problem
Example: "tek makes the game too easy" -early game players make the game too easy

[quartz kraken]

I'm in sp so no buddies😂

[pliant locust]

well it used to be much more rare and endgame, now not so much anymore

[silent matrix]

People didn't imprint back then. At least not as often

[silent matrix]

On gen2 sure. Any other map no

[quartz kraken]

I definitely don't imprint stuff😂

[pliant locust]

theres a super great trap with doorways and triangle roofs u might wanna look up on youtube, you can use a ptera to keep it in place

[pliant locust]

thats exactly my point lol. you can transfer tek structures

[silent matrix]

Your argument about "you can get someone to do bosses easily" that type of thing could of easily happened back then.

[silent matrix]

Caant use them

[quartz kraken]

maybe idk yet I've got a saddle though😂 froma drop

[silent matrix]

I said COULD of. It only happens now because the people who are selling seats have already been done with the game

[pliant locust]

so you disagree its so much easier to do bossfights nowadays and get every tek item really easily without farming for ages ?

[silent matrix]

Yes

[cobalt sigil]

I’m down for whatever ima let u guys know now … I do know everything about this game and I been playing sence drop … I’m 20 and I do go a life so I can be on for like 4 hours a day and I do got a gf so she is gonna also take my time up but when I’m on I grind like no tomorrow…. I am chill and I hope u guys are too … if you don’t wanna recruit me it’s fine I completely understand that I’m not gonna be active 24/7 but like I said I will help out and I do got a lvl 100+ character on official with some tek engrams learned ( only the important ones)

If your looking for a tribe mate on official

[pliant locust]

alright guess u never tried fighting bosses on alpha then without having crazy high lines which was the norm some years ago

[quartz kraken]

quick question

[silent matrix]

"Back then it took weeks to get indy forges" - yet you play with x4 harvesting

[pliant locust]

we do play now with much higher harvesting on official yes

[silent matrix]

I have all the lines in the world. I have done every boss on alpha except rockwell prime

[quartz kraken]

what do basilo range with😂 Im killing it's hoard of mantas because it's after my sarco

tame

[dry timber]

Can anyone help me I got recently raided and wondering if anyone knows a tribe I can join

[pliant locust]

yes NOW. look at old posts for alpha bossfights when ppl had like 60 pts into hp and meele for rexes for the vast majority of the players

[silent matrix]

Yes but that wasnt what I was talking about. The people saying farming for indy forges is easy (even without a stryder) are the same people who play on super boosted servers.

[silent matrix]

That type of thing is still present. I level up my rexes to kill the bosses faster lol.

[pliant locust]

you did. i asked you if u think that fighting bosses and getting tek NOW is much easier than before all the new stuff and time. you disagreed.
leveling up rexes is limited you cannot fight bosses on alpha with tamed rexes and bad saddles let alone solo

[silent matrix]

Oh that is what you meant? Yes tek is easier to get. But fighting bosses isnt

[pliant locust]

stryder is actually super inefficient to farm with if youre not lategame with a skiff and tek dedi boxes, u can hardly move it anywhere unless u transfer metal from ab which is not really early either

[silent matrix]

Go to extinction farm drops and element veigns. Higher quality loot. But gen2 is faster and gives out tek pistols and bows

[silent matrix]

Thank you finally someone else who understands my POV with stryders

[pliant locust]

ye they are super not great, i love when ppl recommend and scream "get a stryder its best !!11!1" to some bob who asks how to farm metal xD

[silent matrix]

Unless you have a skiff, which requires you doing master controller. The stryder is practically useless

[silent matrix]

And master controller is the hardest boss by far. It isnt a rex rush it requires a lot of strategy since half the fight is on foot

[pliant locust]

yep and for minerals that arent in really large areas its maybe even not as efficient, u get a lot more with nowadays capped dmg anky or mantis lines per node. so an argy with 14k weight will easily get more metal in these cases or crystal etc

[pliant locust]

yea ik im trying to solo it on gamma atm. failed four attempts so far as i got stunned in the very last wave mostly and then eaten by a giga. the tames are fine but solo its a pain even with 600hp all buff foods, tons of medbrews and fully asc flak sets

[molten otter]

I was looking for videos on how to do it and all of them were either
1: multiplayer tips
2: had godmode on
3: give away literal weeks of your life to grind out mutations

[silent matrix]

But if you are a mega tribe and you are in an area like ab for element then stryders are the best. In a pvp scenario you have to spend a lot of time on genw to get set up to have it be remotely useful

[molten otter]

like damn it man all I need to do is gamma difficulty

[silent matrix]

Yea I have a similar issue.

I have alpha done, but not solo

[molten otter]

CMC is a case where wildcard improperly scaled the boss for multiplayer

[pliant locust]

yep same lmao. theres ppl doing it on SP claiming its easy for solos yet they dont even have the same restrictions

[molten otter]

it just feels like its punishing you for going solo

and I dont want to have my settings be super boosted just so I can enjoy the skiff

[silent matrix]

Bosses are 33% easier by default on SP. And if you have 1.0 dinosaur damage your dinosaur do 5x more damage than official

[sullen umbra]

A question? Does anyone know why I can't download items or tell us on Lost Island?

[quartz kraken]

round 2 to tame the basilo I exited without save due to sarco dying😂
well atleast I still have to pass it to get back to my base might as well try to tame it right

[molten otter]

it feels like one of those cases though where 1/3 of infinity is still infinity

[wispy frigate]

Melee, not damage

[silent matrix]

Same thing

[pliant locust]

definetly is. i waste 20 rexes / therizi in a mix with 100+ saddles which will shred the spawns with no problem but last wave and stage is just overwhelming to run aroudn collecting keys alone you need a second person. im trying to get a group going atm to do it together as im tired of failing it solo and everytime losing the 20 tames

[wispy frigate]

Definitely not the same thing

[wispy frigate]

Need reapers and theri mix
Reapers for knockback and theris for main damage

[molten otter]

I did see a legitimately useful guide though for groups

maybe its fixed but all the corrupted avatars will go for buried reapers

so in the guide, you have 2 people on them on each side of the main arenas which act as magnets for the corrupted creatures

and then rhinos for damage

speaking of which, how good are rhinos for bosses in general

[pliant locust]

hm i got quite some collection of reapers but im afraid of losing them more than rexes, i still have like 150 backup rexes and theri bred and can easily make more.
my current attempt was two whistle groups for the rex to mainly soak and passivley direct the spawns to an area while the therizi were constantly killing off things. the rexes have 80k hp and about 3.5 - 4k meele but yea maybe pushback at the area of key depository works better

[molten otter]

cause I keep hearing of how they can kill gigas and such

[wispy frigate]

I’ve heard reapers are basically essential in that fight, at least solo
So yeah clone some and try it

[wispy frigate]

Really good when ridden
Trash when unridden

[pliant locust]

the therizi and rexes will do fine for dmg, the main problem im facing is the multiple times u need to be on the ground collecting keys. usually i get stunned eventually after like the second or third depository of keys in the last of the 4 waves / teleports and cant move then the spawns surround or kill me from afar (like giga)

[molten otter]

mmm gotta love creatures that become useless when unridden

just punishes solo players for being solo

[wispy frigate]

Nah its just bad ai

[molten otter]

cause and effect relationship

[pliant locust]

guess its time to do that :/ i just hope they do a better job at protecting me with the pushbacks from the spawns

[molten otter]

it should really just be "Kill x enemies to pass"

or "score x amount of points" if you want higher tier creatures to be worth more

[pliant locust]

or like not forcing u to dismount multiple times and get so many keys when youre entering it with 1 player, in the first three stages it takes like no time and the dinos lose like no health at all but the last stage is just awful

[molten otter]

that also works

if you want a system where you have to go on foot it has to be in a seperate area then where the main chaos is

like imagine code red on gen 2 but the on foot sections are also in the midst of the VR swarms

[silent matrix]

What are basilisks good for

[pliant locust]

yea i did it solo yesterday was anoying enough already xD
at least i will only need like two, three more gen2 missions to do gen2 gamma boss, which is strangely enough one of the easiest bosses to fight if solo, right after somewhat passively sitting on a yuti and rex rushing some of the other bosses lol

[molten otter]

im not an expert but they seem to be tanks and their spit can be good

[wispy frigate]

Nah I’d say rockwell prime is hardest
If he doesn’t kill you, the lag will

[quartz kraken]

I guess good news 😂
I've taken out the mantas for the basilo tame

but I might not have enough patience with this😂

[silent matrix]

hi is ark worth playing i was watch snuffy vtuber play it and it looks fun but never actually played it

[pliant locust]

the lag most likely will i think lol ima do a nightshift for that one to be sure xD
but from what ive seen its super easy you can bring tames and any gun u want for fighting off the tentacles and then just shoot / beam it when hes vulnerable, i think even ab gamma boss was more anoying if solo with all the running around and reapers spawning still even with a lightpet lol

[molten otter]

it sucks, absolutetly terrible game

anyway ima go play some ark now

^
pretty much how you will see ark

[quartz kraken]

I love ark it's got bugs and such yes but still very loved

[wispy frigate]

Yeah I’m just joking, the fight itself is easy
But beware the lag xD

[silent matrix]

i mean like what are the upsides of playing the game i get its bybases

[pliant locust]

haha yea i will do it on my EU server during nighttime, i hope not many more players join it because atm during nights its somewhat playable again lol
since ive seen vindactur (or HOD i think was it not sure) do the gen2 gamma with like 2 tamed stegos which he didnt even use basically and a scuffed shotgun and being totally confused / careless throughout the fight im looking forward to it 😛

[plush beacon]

Awww the friendly neighborhood lvl 50 something t rex decided to pay my base a visit while I was away. How thoughtful of him

[silent matrix]

like what can you do in ark like can you tame dinos and ride them?

[quartz kraken]

yes

[runic ruin]

Reapers are deffo handy but it can be done without them. Tbh even if they ain't buried they are more than useful with the spin attack especially when reach the final stage of the boss

[uneven knoll]

you can make them poop too

[lofty pewter]

Are there server mods that make it possible to trade with one another?

[quartz kraken]

currently I'm taming I guess you could look at it as a dolphin idk
basilo is what I'm taming

[silent matrix]

can i make them eat the poop or use as like a resource ?

[uneven knoll]

u can eat poop yourself

[undone forge]

Why did you paste my message from #general then remove it lmao

[fleet mulch]

Hi. does anyone have lag when discharging turrets of 2 or more dinosaurs?

[quartz kraken]

there's dung beetle you can make fertilizer out of poop with

[pliant locust]

will they do that reliably for when u do it solo? atm i try it solo on gamma with about 10 therizi, 9 rexes and a shadowmane, all capped levels and mostly dmg leveld and i keep failing the very last stage after like the third time dismounting collecting keys

[wispy frigate]

On solo? I highly doubt that

[silent matrix]

is this like monster hunter?

[wispy frigate]

And I wasnt talking about buried, only tail spin

[fleet mulch]

Hi. does anyone have lag when discharging turrets of 2 or more dinosaurs?

[lofty pewter]

I copied the message and by accident i copied yours too ;p

[quartz kraken]

BTW this is my first ever basilo tame☺️

[undone forge]

Ah ok

[silent matrix]

like is it similar to monster hunter rise ?

with like minecraft elements?

[fleet mulch]

Isn't anyone going to help?

Hi. does anyone have lag when discharging turrets of 2 or more dinosaurs?

[runic ruin]

Oh solo now thas a diff ball game my bad I thought u was talkin bout a team of ppl. If set on neutral or aggressive they will help on solo but won't be as reliable like at all

[wispy frigate]

Idk what that game is
Ark is best described to people who don’t know it as “minecraft with dinos, guns, and lag”

[silent matrix]

that i can understand ty for the info

[pliant locust]

yea thats what i was thinking about as they maybe mainly use their bite

[runic ruin]

And bluescreen + meshers lol

[runic ruin]

Or thier tail spray thing lol

[lofty pewter]

Anyone know of any trade mods? I want to trade my friend across map?

[silent matrix]

i figure you would have a better time playing a minecraft dino mod though tbh

[wispy frigate]

Nah they have the same ai as wild reapers, and those tail spin quite frequently

[wispy frigate]

It was just a rough description, the actual details are so much more different than minecraft

[fleet mulch]

Guys, can you tell me why it lags when the turrets are discharging?

[silent matrix]

fair

i mean its only 30$ atm on steam migth as well buy it and try it out

plus is like a staple game that everyone should have in there steam library

[pliant locust]

Hm defo gonna try throwing in some instead of maybe the rexes and hope they do enough of a difference, but theres so many spawns after a bit even therizi or rexes literally killing everything in one bite in their killbox they will respawn so quick, lets hope the tailspinning holds them off of me long enough / before things start dying so i get the keys

[wispy frigate]

Just uh, beware of the download time

[silent matrix]

oh is it massive?

[wispy frigate]

Pretty huge yeah

[silent matrix]

... maybe better i dont play it then my pc isnt the best

[pliant locust]

if u download all the DLC (like 7 maps or so in total) you end up with 400 GB on steam 😉

[wispy frigate]

Idk about steam but it was like a day on console
But we had really bad internet back then

Yeah all the dlcs are a ton of gigabytes

[silent matrix]

my pc isnt even a terabyte

[fleet mulch]

I get it. there seem to be only assholes here. who are too lazy to help or just tell you.

[silent matrix]

so yea maybe not

[quartz kraken]

alrighty who wants to name this girl the basilo

[silent matrix]

like it plays minecraft fine and other similar bench mark games but like that sounds to massive

[pliant locust]

wow tone down.
your game lags when turrets fire i get it. ark lags often no idea how to help u this doesnt sound like a super obvious or easy to fix bug

[molten otter]

DM me a pic of it

[quartz kraken]

night time currently though😂

[molten otter]

are you on SP?

[quartz kraken]

ye

[fleet mulch]

Thank you. at least for noticing. they just saw the insult immediately. and as an adequate question. silence in response

[pliant locust]

• no one on here is actually paid or anyhow involved with the game we are all just random ppl joining this server deciding to chat and spend our time here, so calling ppl "asshole" for not helping with a really strange bug is sorta edgy

[molten otter]

gamma up then

[quartz kraken]

Xbox as well idk how😂

[molten otter]

oh boy let me see

[silent matrix]

all be back when i have a better pc then maybe all play it idk

[fleet mulch]

At least that's how you noticed and responded. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

[molten otter]

bumper bumper xy @quartz kraken all at once

[tough yarrow]

Should be in your game options, its a slider

[molten otter]

in menu

[quartz kraken]

oh admin yea on the lost island I'm trying not to use admin😂

[tough yarrow]

I dont know that gamma commands work on console, I always had to use the ingame options.

[fleet mulch]

We can not understand, is it all lag when discharging turrets or only us. It just didn't happen before.

[pliant locust]

well i noticed everytime before u typed as well, ive seen and worked with many bugs and glitches but no idea how to improve that specific one and didnt type anything therefore guess many others did the same

[quartz kraken]

just ignore the death redness from my being almost dead😂

[molten otter]

it happens

[fleet mulch]

I see. Thank you. And I'm sorry I had to do that to get your attention.

[tough yarrow]

Usually if no one replies they don't know. #bug-reports though, sounds weird.

[chrome flare]

i just got ark on steam and im booting it up but there are no servers that are actualy popped ?? like mts or any 10x 20x 30x ect

[potent raptor]

Were can i find a giga imao

Rexs are child’s play

[molten otter]

well the issue with gigas is

they are so aggressive and so powerful that they can be really anywhere

sometimes people find gigas on the island way down south

[chrome flare]

is the steam version of ark dead?

[inland plover]

accidentally hit a freshly hatched level 140 deinonychus with my torch and killed it

love that for me

[pliant locust]

usually 60k or so play it no

[quartz kraken]

basilo can breed correct?🤔

[pliant locust]

yes!

[silent matrix]

Anyone wanna play

[inland plover]

& it was a female, and i only have one other female because im juet getting started....... cant tell if its worth going to get more eggs or just breeding the one female

[quartz kraken]

ur so making this tempting😂

male not far

[pliant locust]

haha 😄 i breed basilos on my server every so often, but its being a mammal and underwater makes it a little more annoying than most land dinos

[quartz kraken]

I forgot my scuba gear on canoe😂

[plush beacon]

I was so adamant about not changing the singleplayer settings when I first started out and now I'm sitting here changing all of the stats lol

[quartz kraken]

taming him

[molten otter]

the ark experience

[quartz kraken]

do you wanna name him as well termination

[plush beacon]

Learned real quick that maybe taking 10 years to build a 5x5 stone base wasn't super fun haha

[molten otter]

I am not creative enough

[quartz kraken]

he's stuck in coral reef😂

till he turns around wise

I'll name him coral😂 or Marlin

[inland plover]

So is multiplayer... friendly... not pvp but pve. i dont wanna get constantly harassed if i play with others. rn im just doing single player

[rose light]

just found out the mining drill exists

[quartz kraken]

ye

[inland plover]

ive never really played a multiplayer game before so

[rose light]

[quartz kraken]

I need it

can I borrow the one you'll make😂

[rose light]

lmao I'm just going through the maps with my main character, picking up the most useful engrams

the weight reduction while the drill is equipped is a huge difference

I'm already tired of HLN-A

[quartz kraken]

92.6 on the male basilo

WAIT no

[broken shore]

Dose anyone have a server I can join?

[quartz kraken]

it's slowly dropping NO

[lofty pewter]

is there a command to change dino gender?

[quartz kraken]

what should I do if it's dropping taming

[broken shore]

Can I join someone server @everyone

[tough yarrow]

No but there are mods

[tough yarrow]

That does not work. Get a role at #role-assignment to access the recruitment and server ad channels.

[broken shore]

I can't I'm on mobile

[hollow sky]

Can’t wait to see the art for desmodus and carcha

[quartz kraken]

if I could do can you

[unique topaz]

@broken shore

ARK Mobile

The ARK Mobile Discord server can be found here: https://discord.com/invite/PlayARKMobile

ARK: Survival Evolved

[tough yarrow]

Dododex has some desmodus art

[quartz kraken]

I might've restarted this male taming😂

[hollow sky]

Just checked it out. Wonder who smuggled that from the wc character design office

[quartz kraken]

i punched him and it restarted I mean it was already loosing his taming

[tough yarrow]

Id be fine with it, looks cute 🤣

[wispy frigate]

May slightly differ

[lofty pewter]

Do you know which one?

[wispy frigate]

S+ has a mutator which lets you change gender and variant, but its a tek engram and costs element

There’s probably a much less expensive mod out there that does that

[quartz kraken]

already back to 42.1% yay

he keeps wedging himself into coral

[tough yarrow]

There's the s+ mutator like Perry said, or there are a few gender change mods. Crazy's Crazy Potions has one, but it has other stuff as well that may be too op.

[pseudo meteor]

Change gender simple thing too simple for mod on its own. I put that in Upgrade my dino mod.

[silent matrix]

how do i play fibercraft on pc

[quartz kraken]

sending a pic termination

[cedar plaza]

I have a problem, my Direwolf, I tamed, just didn't came back to me while it was hunting. Is there an option to see if it's still alive or where the bag is?

[spice bronze]

Does any one know how to add spawns in a single player world? E.g. Add Maewings spawning in Crystal Isles

[spice bronze]

Check in you tribe log, if it died it would say it in red, if not, you can still get it back

[dense bramble]

Just tame a Maewing in lost island and tranfer it in the ob

[solemn bronze]

Can’t have any changes like that on Single player, either tame on a different map or spawn in a single maewing

[spice bronze]

Okay thanks

[silent matrix]

I'm pretty sure you can but you would need to edit game files

[solemn bronze]

On a dedicated server you can but base single player in game you can’t edit those files

[spice bronze]

Yes you can

[solemn bronze]

You’d need to adjust the ini and can’t do that on SP.

[wispy frigate]

You can

[spice bronze]

I've done it before

[solemn bronze]

You can adjust some settings but you need to add coding in to add spawns

[wispy frigate]

You can

On console sp, you can’t
On pc sp, you can

[solemn bronze]

Darn you PC players 😭

[quartz kraken]

I figured out a plan to get everyone home including the megalodon😂

[spice bronze]

Ohhh yeah that would explain the confusion

[spice bronze]

What is it?

[solemn bronze]

I’m on Xbox 😦 I have a cluster so I can add stuff like that and play

(Shows PC so I can tag people in the different threads)

[wispy frigate]

Mere mortal, I have ambassador role and have access to all channels, therefore I do not need pc role

[solemn bronze]

Use to have a different role 😉

Prefer being a peasant now though hahah

[quartz kraken]

leaving the saddle sarco with them on follow and just bring my birds and canoe back to base and then fast travel back to them and hop on sarco

Anyone got F good stat voidwyrm?

You can override the spawn containers on PC in the inis which is super cool. For example on Ragnarok the tiny island known as dimetrodon island is its own spawn container, I did add nameless spawns there once when I was on SP for fun lol

[spice bronze]

Oh cool

[solemn bronze]

I have shadowmanes and gacha spawning on my lost island map and gacha and rock drakes on my crystal isles lol

[wispy frigate]

Wait shoot you were a mod right?

[quartz kraken]

sarco has the only saddle so they refuse to follow anything else 😂

[spice bronze]

I know, but the code I tried didn't work

[solemn bronze]

Yesss haha

[wispy frigate]

Lol I don’t recognize anybody without the colored names

[cedar plaza]

Nope, didn't died but I can't believe he survived because there were so many eagles and wolves. I'm looking for him since 30 minutes

[solemn bronze]

That’s fair. Tons of people on here all the time so I get it.

[spice bronze]

Do you have any other direwolves?

[pliant locust]

Haha yea it’s so nice you can sort of effortlessly edit and change those, I wanted nameless but not have them take over everything so that was super convenient on the tiny island ^^

[cedar plaza]

Nope just that one and a eagle

[spice bronze]

Try flying just above the ground on the argi while whistling follow

[solemn bronze]

That’s awesome! I have raising boosted so I don’t think we would need venom but I have abb on the cluster (I love it even though abb hates me) so it’s there if needed.

[silent matrix]

Are the other artifact caves on ab good since shadow is taken?

[cedar plaza]

Got no saddle for it. Can't wait to build a GPS

[spice bronze]

What code did you use?

[spice bronze]

Oh okay

[solemn bronze]

You can get almost all artifacts on crystal. 18 of 21 to be exact

[timber summit]

How long does it take too smelt 300 metal in a refining forge

[spice bronze]

Oh hello dog.

[solemn bronze]

A hot while 😂

I usually make multiple and spread out the ingots

[pliant locust]

I can try locating my old server files and send them but you need to find out what spawn containers your map has and edit it accordingly

[timber summit]

That’s what I do

[silent matrix]

I want to build a base for my tribe in them I don't. Need the artifacts themselves

[spice bronze]

My dog just walked over and promptly sat on me, then demanded tickles

[timber summit]

But I’m just saving up for a instrudial forge

[spice bronze]

I tried that but it didn't work

[solemn bronze]

Ah okay. If you’re able to build in caves, go for it. I usually just leave access for others to get the artifact at least

[cedar plaza]

So any idea?

[spice bronze]

I'm thinking

[spice bronze]

What level is an argi saddle?

[silent matrix]

There's drops that give artifacts so people have no reason to go in the cave and it's pvp so I need an easy spot do you know if stalker or depths is harder to access?

[safe flax]

62

[spice bronze]

Thanks

[cedar plaza]

Started new game 2 hours ago that's why I need that wolf...

Without him I'm dead

[safe flax]

What's your issue?

[spice bronze]

You have a wolf at 2 hours? Impressive

[spice bronze]

(for me atleast)

its pretty messed up but thats what ive setup, custom spawn name adding a container

[safe flax]

Wha

[spice bronze]

Omg thankyou so much

[safe flax]

That looks like crazy coding but u don't understand coding at all

[pliant locust]

hm let me DM you the text file, this is disorganized with wrong tab placement, i think some of them must be in different lines i think to work

[solemn bronze]

Ah okay. I’ve never done pvp so idk lol

[safe flax]

Not on official pvp

[silent matrix]

I'm on unofficial

[safe flax]

Yea I figured

[spice bronze]

Oki, thanks again

[safe flax]

Me too lol

[quartz kraken]

oh no😂 another basilo

[pliant locust]

ahm second i think i put also a featherligth spawner in this i gotta sort through it quickly and try sending you the clean text file

[spice bronze]

I have, I got Insta killed 4 times in a row, then again once more again on a different server

[safe flax]

Yea pvp can be tough sometimes lol

[solemn bronze]

No thanks lol I’ll stay on pve. I die often enough via dino lol

[cedar plaza]

@spice bronze got bin back. He just came out of nowhere. Phew

[spice bronze]

I now just play with my siblings or by myself, I tried a pve, but starved to death because I couldn't place a campfire due to the fact that some one had placed pillars all around the spawn area

[spice bronze]

Yay!

[safe flax]

I play pvp and I find that people spam more on pve then on pvp for some reason

Even tho it would help alot more on pvp lol

[olive egret]

would it be better to breed for the colors i want first and then focus on stat line or vice versa? Have the stat parents ready to go to make an army, but want cool colors

[leaden pike]

I'd say breed for stats first

[safe flax]

I think stats because wouldn't the colours change when you go to breed for stats if you do colours first

[olive egret]

not sure, never bred for colors, only stats. Now i want awesome Thylas

[safe flax]

Thyla colours can look to awsome! But I would say stats first

[olive egret]

and the process would be similar, keep breeding with the perfect parents until i see a color mutation, put it aside until i have the colors i want?

would i need to worry about any stat changes at all from color breeding?

[safe flax]

To be honest I don't know like anything about breeding but I do know if you do colours first they will change when you get a mutation for stats

[quartz kraken]

I love how the rain stops when ur looking underwater but restarts when not😂

[safe flax]

Lmaoo

[quartz kraken]

I'm just looking up then down constantly making it thunder

[cedar plaza]

Okay he's having a lots of flesh in his inventory. So we all know what took him so long.

[spice bronze]

Hmmmmmm sus puppy

[leaden pike]

@olive egret color will change as you stack mutations for the stats you want then once you get you desired stats you can breed for colors. The dinos stats will change when you breed for color but since you already have your desired stats it really doesn't matter because it will just increase said stats

[eternal oasis]

Anyone selling good anky

[spice bronze]

Speaking of puppies, my poodle is flopped across my lap asking for pats and attempting to ta k e my hand

[quartz kraken]

a 3rd male basilo man I guess I was lucky finding that female😂

Alpha Meg next to Leed fish😂 let's hope that Meg dies I need to take this pathway home with the basilos

[pliant locust]

well all it does is create additional spawn containers (namlesspawner1 and featherspawner i.e.) stopps nameless from summoning surface reapers (my server ppl were too afraid of that 😦 ) as well as place that container on a certain already existing spawn entry/area, in that case "monkeyisland" which is a tiny island south of wyvern cave on rag and the jungle for shinehorns and featherlights lol.

[safe flax]

Ooh so that is the type of coding that server owners use?

[pliant locust]

basically yes. i had my own server(s) for about a year and u need to edit mainly game.ini and gameusersettings.ini with such additional codes to let things spawn naturally or disable certain engrams or change level pre requirements of tek structures for example

[quartz kraken]

in theory could a peligornis take out an Alpha Meg🤔

[safe flax]

Yea I play on dedi servers and I didn't realize what the owner had to look at lol

[quartz kraken]

I'm just thinking how I can kill it safely

[leaden pike]

@safe flax you can also use apps like beacon to make all of that coding super easy and basically automated

[pliant locust]

normally things go fairly well but when u wanna add mods you need to specify that in the respective gus.ini and if u wanna disable engrams from mods game.ini so in theory its kinda okay to setup but the second u wanna do like custom spawns and not use a mod for that (would be overkill imo, takes far less resoures of the server hardware when u just edit the ini with some more lines of code instead of another mod) it gets a little complicated / more time consuming in order to get things working

[solemn bronze]

So much more involved than I thought but it’s cool seeing it on the other side!

[quartz kraken]

i decided to just uncryo stuff and book it past that Alpha Meg hopefully I don't loose my 2 sarcos
I'm bringing my other so I can possibly if need be defeate it on the way back again

I'm hoping it doesn't notice me atleast😂

[grizzled creek]

When is the patch that fixed the mesh coming out

[spice bronze]

It can't get you if you are on a raft

[frozen hemlock]

Is there any reason why we can't select multiple things our inventory so they can be moved all at once? Pressing T and moving one by one is laggy af

Moving one by one also means the inventory re-sorts every single time and that's horrible

[wispy frigate]

Transfer all button

And be thankful you got t, people on controllers have to hold a button just to transfer one stack
Takes like a minute to transfer any decent amount of items

[pseudo meteor]

You can filter before xfr all

[pliant locust]

Wish that worked reliably, on my off PVE 80% time I cannot do that it’ll won’t transfer anything at all. Tested it with various items and factors such as total amount of items but it’s been buggy ever since. And I play on a super low ping center server

[pseudo meteor]

Always works for me 🤷 always has..

Type something to get just what u want to xfr as displaying then xfr all done

[pliant locust]

Yea works like 20% time for me too, I see ppl in YouTube videos do it all the time as well it’s super anoying. I tested it even with different words like raw only and then raw meat eg but nothing helps ^^

[frozen hemlock]

That's not what I want

[frozen hemlock]

Filtering isn't right either. Filtering can only go so narrow and it still has the 1-by-1 lag + resort

[frozen hemlock]

Yeah i've had this bug too. I think waiting for a second after the items have filtered can help

[pseudo meteor]

you guys runnin on some potats

[mortal cypress]

Joined an unofficial pc server with great stats but man I got raided so hard :/

[pliant locust]

I wish xD

[mortal cypress]

Good thing its easy to rebuild

[pliant locust]

Trying it I didn’t wait for like more than half a second mostly I guess

[pseudo meteor]

or you runnin servers with too many mods. or old broken mods breaking your inventories and you dont even realize it..

[pliant locust]

Again not true official PVE doesn’t have that lol. I’m on a super low ping unpopulated server. I’m sitting at 14 MB/S download too so I don’t think it’s hardware

[pseudo meteor]

vanilla ark? lol easy peasy then... even my dinosaur of a pc can handle van ark np at all. on a 1070 / i7 6700.

[pliant locust]

Yes but I’m not running this on a notebook when I have the issue I got a 1080 ti, some ryzen seven octa core which exact specific I forgot rn and a decent MB.

[pseudo meteor]

maybe you infected with a rat that's eatin ur cycles for bitcoins 😂

[pliant locust]

Haha yea ^^ performance is ingame no issue, I run it smoothly on maxed settings with normally 50 + FPS and I even tried lowering settings really hard but didn’t change anything ^^

[plucky drift]

anyone know why loot crates and artifacts arent spawning on my solo world?

[pseudo meteor]

you need to be within range to trigger the crate spawner. and then w/e timer config its setup for initiates. maybe play near them for a bit. dont just use tp cmds to get there.

eh by near i mean within 24k game units or ~80 foundations

[quartz kraken]

what do you tame bulbdogs with?

[pseudo meteor]

Meat iirc
Or z seeds? Or was that just the other lantern pets..

[solemn bronze]

Aquatic mushrooms

They’re the light blue ones

[solemn bronze]

z seeds for the featherlight or aserbic mushrooms (whatever one is like yellow lol)

[eternal oasis]

Anyone selling F good voidwyrm

[silent matrix]

Some asshole put meshed spam in artifact cave for shadow and now I can't use it even tho he doesn't have a base there

[quartz kraken]

noted btw for next time potentially

[vapid bison]

do you have to use the original tracker you used to throw the tracking device to locate dinos, or can you make a new one and use it the same

[solemn bronze]

They’re fun to tame. Like a lizard pug lol

[quartz kraken]

they're glitchy from what I've seen atleast single player wise
I get off get back on they're gone the tracker

[eternal oasis]

Help me quick pls

How do I get to a server keeping my char thats not in the cluster

[quartz kraken]

or whatever it's called the part you throw on dino

[eternal oasis]

I want to get to a server keeping my char but server not in cluster

[vapid bison]

if its not in the cluster i dont think you can transfer a character over

[eternal oasis]

If I leave here and go in does ark data keep even if it's different characters

[weary jay]

I somehow got a 1/20 mutation on the mother's side while mutation chaining, despite having a mutation increase on the father's side. I don't think it's a double mutation, because the level only went up by 2, so it's not like I got a worthless speed mutation. Is this a bug of some kind?

[ivory cradle]

I need a tribe on official of people who know how to play the game

[slender shale]

anyone got a good unofficial pvp server? preferablly solo duo trio PLEASE

[olive egret]

so im on the island and need propellant to power item collector

but for some reason gfi isnt working for it, neither is the gfi for cactus or sulfur

[quartz kraken]

I'll try now for bulbdog if I can tame one I might transfer it to the lost island perhaps

[solemn bronze]

Are you on official?

[quartz kraken]

nope😂 SP

[solemn bronze]

Okay just making sure 😂😂

[quartz kraken]

unless it's my sp as non dedicated I don't do multiplayer😂

[olive egret]

okay cactus sap works, but i cant spawn in Sulfur at all 😦

[wispy frigate]

1 mutation gives 2 points

[wispy frigate]

Yeah me too

Doesn’t that just look amazing

[quartz kraken]

there's something on the ground glowing purple and has purple smoke should I be alarmed?

[wispy frigate]

Uh sounds like amarga spike?

What map are you on

[quartz kraken]

in abberation ok

[paper nimbus]

Probably a mushroom or smth? Idk any purple mushrooms tho

[quartz kraken]

mind if I send pic

because I'm not unpausing till I know it's safe

[olive egret]

anyone have any tips on fixing this issue? cant spawn sulfur for some reason but i can cactus sap (on the island)

[rocky scroll]

I have this same problem with my snow owl, it’s low key funny flying around a blocky snow owl

[quartz kraken]

admin command not working? could it be typed wrong?

Thats a dead mana xD
Snow owls look like small triangles to me

[wispy frigate]

#fanart-and-screenshots

[olive egret]

i think im entering it right, copy/pasta like i have the other items i needed

got it, seems i need to enter in the full info, theres no little shortcut for it like the other items ive been spawning

[wispy frigate]

Should just be gfi sulfer 1 0 0

[olive egret]

tried that, didnt work

[quartz kraken]

is that purple thing from the amargasaurus then I sent the pic

[olive egret]

ended up working with cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Sulfur

[quartz kraken]

and is it safe😂

[olive egret]

and then the numbers

[quartz kraken]

ah gas vent gee thanks😂

[wispy frigate]

Ah, yeah you can do resource sulfer

But iirc sulfer worked fine

[olive egret]

wasnt working, maybe it needs an update

[wispy frigate]

Occasionally blows up gas that is toxic

Put a gas container on it to farm gas

[quartz kraken]

I need to do that anyways😂

[olive egret]

will dinos finish growing in dino storage terminal by chance?

[silent matrix]

when breeding does it take the base stat of the dino or added points too??

[wispy frigate]

Base stat plus wild points, nothing else

[silent matrix]

ahhh okaii

is

• 13.6k health
• 574% dmg
  good at base?

[wispy frigate]

Which creature

[silent matrix]

rex (not tek)

[olive egret]

Soul Terminal doesnt pick up fertilized eggs?

[silent matrix]

It doesn't pick up eggs. Only picks up freshly hatched dinos

If it's set to pick up new born dinos

[wispy frigate]

Uh
Health is very very good
Melee is absolutely insane, are you boosted?

[olive egret]

interesting

[slate widget]

you have to enable it in the Ini then in the settings of the terminal I believe.

[silent matrix]

boosted??

[olive egret]

where im at now, temp is def not good to let the eggs sit and wait to hatch, so i might have to use hatchery

[long flicker]

it does

[silent matrix]

Just use a bunch of aircons

[wispy frigate]

Yknow, boosted stats

[long flicker]

on singleplayer it's enabled by default too

[silent matrix]

Since when has soul terminal picked up eggs?

[long flicker]

since a very long time ago

[silent matrix]

it says (mate boosted) im guessing thats from good temp in the incubator and 100% imprint

[slate widget]

its in the automation settings

needs to be enabled tho

[olive egret]

ohhhhhhhhh

[long flicker]

^

[olive egret]

hmm

[slate widget]

I meant in the automation settings on the terminal :P

[long flicker]

oh that one

ye it's in there as a checkmark

[wispy frigate]

Oh with imprint also
Then that is decent, but not amazing or worth mutating

[olive egret]

how/where do i access this? also would i need to turn the server off to modify?

[quartz kraken]

well so far I guess good😂 3 moschops 1 lystro and 3 bulbdogs😂

[silent matrix]

Why 3 bulbdogs and 3 moschops?

[fleet granite]

trying to raise a magmasaur but i keep crashing

[quartz kraken]

I had the things to tame em😂

[silent matrix]

Where they atleast high level?

[slate widget]

yeah, servers need to enable it via the Ini (not sure where :P) then you can activate it in the automation settings on any terminal.

[quartz kraken]

um 😂 ark is having a moment currently LOL

[long flicker]

you can check for the ini in their modpage

then copy it from the modpage and add it into server settings

[random ore]

What was the perfect distance while taming sino?

[long flicker]

yes, server needs to be down as far as I know

[random ore]

Like someone had a stay at 300 then go to 100 meters or something like that right

[quartz kraken]

there's a paracer on the portal thing in the easiest spawn on abberation😂

[long flicker]

paracers are all over the green zone

[olive egret]

seems to complex, gonna use hatchery instead lol

[long flicker]

bruh

[silent matrix]

Or just use air cons

[quartz kraken]

1 Moschops was lv 30 something that's high enough on the 0.2 default right 😂

[silent matrix]

probs

[cunning solar]

when is the new map coming? Feb?

[wispy frigate]

Fjordur? They said june, but really anytime in the summer

you can get mutations for speed, they just don't do anything
