[celest patio]

i see

[placid sundial]

S+ is more widely preferred from what ive seen also. I use S+ myself

[celest patio]

alright then, just asking but i dont need to uninstall ss for s+ right?

[placid sundial]

Dont load them both at once if that's what you mean by uninstall

You can have both downloaded, NOT active

[celest patio]

oh, then what will happen if i uninstall ss? i built my house out of ss pieces, it wont bug out right?

[silent matrix]

They will most likely disappear

[placid sundial]

Most items will become their S+ counterpart fine (assuming you're loading S+ on the same load as removing Super) since most items share classnames

I know the cryofridges don't transfer cleanly or are unique, but better anyway lol

Tho change your config header first too, just to be safe

[celest patio]

idk how to do that

[placid sundial]

Then you probably dont have any config to worry about

[celest patio]

alright then

[celest patio]

so all i need to do is download s+, move s+ to active mods, remove ss from active mods, and load the game, right?

[placid sundial]

Mod config in the INI

[placid sundial]

Yep. though make a backup of the Saved folder first, just to be safe

Oh and remove any items from the obelisk

[celest patio]

alright, thanks

[red ice]

What’s stronger

An alpha carno lvl 15 or level 115 normal Rex

[grave needle]

Probably the rex but depends how many of those 115 are post-tame levels

[celest patio]

rex

[red ice]

Wrong it’s an alpha

I just tested it out

[celest patio]

aww

[grave needle]

Alpha raptors and Carnos aren't as hard as they seem, any decent argy can take them out

Oof

[celest patio]

well it kinda depends but for me it would be a rex

lmao i just remembered a time where i saw a really good level allo with it’s buddy. they both died to a bronto

[wispy frigate]

Completely depends on stat allocation

[timber summit]

I had too restart 2 times in 2 days 😔

[grave needle]

Oof what happened?

[next carbon]

Anyone plan on a gen2 server that does not roll back?

Play*

[silent matrix]

yeah

small tribes

[next carbon]

That is pvp right

[silent matrix]

yes

gen 2 is dead on small tribes too but people will make their bases at the mission starters so you can never get any done

[grizzled path]

is flak good armor

[grave needle]

Yep, best all-around armor (before tek of course)

[grizzled path]

what

[surreal berry]

hey im not able to ride my dino

[grizzled path]

what dino

[surreal berry]

quetz and argy

[grizzled path]

SPTW!

[grizzled path]

idk then ask someone sels

[surreal berry]

all it says is to access inventory

[grizzled path]

part 7 ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

[grizzled path]

Do you have a saddle lol

[surreal berry]

yes

[grizzled path]

try restarting the game

[surreal berry]

i did

[grizzled path]

or try restarting ur xbox

not u btw

u sussy baka

brb

[versed lagoon]

Can some explain why I got 59 raw prime meat from a bby pt

[surreal berry]

idk baby dinos give alot of meat for some reason

[versed lagoon]

Oh

[silent matrix]

@silent matrix send your kin list rn

[celest patio]

wow

opinions on quetzals?

[silent matrix]

eww ur not a kinnie? ewww ewww get out neurotypical

[surreal berry]

useful and nice Mohawk

[tough yarrow]

I'm not totally sure what you mean, but keep it on topic please @ passion^

[silent matrix]

i personally dislike them as theyre hella ugly

but many people consider them Meta and will preach abt them all day

you can equip them w a platform saddle. they have a nice stamina, and carry weight. theyre able to pick up a lot of dinos

[celest patio]

nah man they so ugly that they look amazing to me

[silent matrix]

theres a number of things you can do with them

lol :)

[surreal berry]

they have a cool mohawk

[celest patio]

hair brush

excuse me what

i dont think you can paste copypastas

[silent matrix]

im copying this

[surreal berry]

can u not

[silent matrix]

my friend dio would approve

[celest patio]

you cant paste something that’s copied from another source mainly because it’s spam

[silent matrix]

newer messages didnt load. i was messagng domy2p in reference to the spam they sent, and then what was discussed after. could you explain how its not on topic if we're speaking about the same thing?

domy2p is speaking about a fandom for a series known for its inside jokes. i sent an inside joke associated with the series, but is seemingly soo exclusive Domy2p didnt get it-- which is the entire point of the inside jokes of the series
harmless fun thats, again, specific 2 the fandom 😛

Im not saying youre wrong, but could you explain what you mean? id like to learn from my mistake

also arnt you that jojo from the bullshit part?

[deep coral]

should i make the thacth house?

[silent matrix]

heheheha

[silent matrix]

the topic of conversation atm is also still said fandom ^^

[celest patio]

oh shit

guys keep it ON TOPIC

[silent matrix]

im kidding

[celest patio]

the channel is called ark for a reason

[tough yarrow]

The channels topic is specifically ark, domy wasnt on topic either i guess, so sorry. My discord didn't show that. Anime series and non ark related topics and such can be discussed freely in #general

@silent matrix , dont copy/paste spam anymore please, thanks.

[celest patio]

the only thing is that it’s kind of spam(?) because it was copied from a fandom i think

[silent matrix]

I understand, thank you country mama ^^ i appreciate you taking the time to respond

[tough yarrow]

Either way, its still not ark 💙

[celest patio]

yeah

[grizzled path]

what happend when i was gone

[celest patio]

off topic stuff

[grizzled path]

Ok

[opal elk]

When entering stats into dododex to find out if its a good tame, do you enter the stats when its knocked out asleep and taning, or when it's awake and tamed right after?

[vapid herald]

Does anyone know how to make the intreval for babies needing care less time? my Wyvern is wanting to take 2 hours 40 min for more care. Anyone know how to change that?

[slate widget]

I'd assume when tamed, as the stats will change by quite a bit afterwards.

@teal quartz #735196255483068497

[long flicker]

the setting called imprint interval, lower that

[vapid herald]

But i did and it stays the same time

I assume becuase the timer already started

[long flicker]

it'll only change for new imprints, yeah

[vapid herald]

So there is nothing i can do?

Could i make in game time go by faster or?

like i cant wait 3 hours for this guy to ask for like a cuddle

[royal shale]

Anyone trading stuff for dust

[celest patio]

just do something else in the game that will pass the time

[thorn spear]

Enter stats whilst knocked out, it tells you how many points have been wasted (in movement speed) before you decide to tame it. Good for getting high level dinos

[slate flower]

i want a mod that i can use to grow some of the plants you normaly cant grow like rare flowers any suggestions

[placid sundial]

Extra QoL Items

[brittle sorrel]

Do you craft faster while sitting on a chair or laying on a bed?

[vapid herald]

Guys so i have a 185 fully imprinted electro wyvern. I havent leveled it up at all, i found the egg at 185. Should i use it for breeding or no? And if yes, should i level up stats on her or not?

[gray beacon]

yes but no lvl stats

[neat harbor]

Yes, and if you lvl stats make sure you have a screenshot of original stats so you know which stats you want

[unborn marten]

how do you get 2 dinos to be the same level for mutating

[slate flower]

@placid sundial its out of date

[placid sundial]

Gportal? ignore it

it complains about mods that havent been updated in x amount of time even if theyre perfectly fine

[tame coral]

Anyone got lvl5 karki on smalls dm if so Xbox/win 10

[silent matrix]

My shadowmanes dash attack won't work nor will it's aoe explosion thing

Anyone know a fix

[wispy frigate]

If it has good stats, breed it

[wispy frigate]

How are you doing it

[silent matrix]

Left trigger to lock on then melee

and for aoe holding left trigger

[wispy frigate]

Thats because it is rmb… not lmb

[silent matrix]

?

When I press left trigger the attack locks onto the creature I'm looking at

[wispy frigate]

Left trigger… oh right you’re on controller

[silent matrix]

Ye

[wispy frigate]

Hold for a chain dash, tap once to lock and twice to dash once

I should explain better

[silent matrix]

Shit my shadowmane died I jumped landed on an edge then I fell off it

[wispy frigate]

Chain dash - hold left trigger until it locks onto creatures. Release
Dash once - press left trigger to lock onto a creature, tap again to dash

[silent matrix]

When I tap again it just unlocks

When I get dashing to learn can I take a managarmr with a shadow?

Like a tamed one

[wispy frigate]

Probably

[silent matrix]

Oh yeah the stun dismounts tho huh

So yeah no buttons are working double tapping left trigger double tapping right while locked only thing I can do I jump and basic attack

[brittle sorrel]

Limit for dinos and survivors on overseer?

[silent matrix]

20 dinos 10 survivors

[brittle sorrel]

Okay ty

[wispy frigate]

50 dinos for the tek cave, not sure how many survivors but I think 10
Mentioned above is for overseer

[brittle sorrel]

okay so, 50 dinos and 10 survivors?

[wispy frigate]

For the tek cave

Not for the overseer/hall of history

[brittle sorrel]

oooh okay okay got iy

[celest patio]

so i just tamed a sabertooth and found out they cant go through door frames so here's a tip:
if you have an argy, make a trap (1 stone foundation and 4 door frames), place the foundation, place all 4 door frames around the foundation, fly on your argy and pick up the sabertooth, place the sabertooth into the trap, proceed to fill it's head with tranqs

they like raw mutton btw

[wispy frigate]

1 foundation often isn’t enough unless you’re skilled at argy picking

Generally people do 1x2 or 2x2

Or just net them lol

[celest patio]

yeah that whatever

[celest patio]

for people who DONT have nets

sabertooths are actually really fast

[wispy frigate]

Or don’t want to use them, like me

[wispy frigate]

Meh
Stuff is always slow until its chasing you xD

[celest patio]

you can literally spam space while climbing up a not so steep hill LMAO

[silent matrix]

Are the controls different for a male shadow mane from a female for dashing?

[wispy frigate]

No

[silent matrix]

So double tap left trigger for controller to dash?

[celest patio]

i just saw a zebra equus and killed it

[wispy frigate]

Yes

[silent matrix]

But when I do it it just toggles it on then back off

[slate widget]

the dash attack? isn't it hold

[silent matrix]

When I hold it makes a big purple and red bubble and when I release it doesn't do shit

[slate widget]

is there anything next to you? it only does anything if it hits something

[wispy frigate]

Both

[silent matrix]

Yeah I see the arrows on the creature

[celest patio]

is it fine to brag or no

[wispy frigate]

Bragging is fine, but expect to see people
A. Not care
B. Brag about how they did the exact same thing you did but better

[silent matrix]

Is there any preconditions I need to use the dash?

[wispy frigate]

Nope

[celest patio]

mk

[silent matrix]

Is the charge bar what I need for a dash or is that different

[celest patio]

i was just going to say that i found a really good sabertooth

[wispy frigate]

Different

[wispy frigate]

Stats or color?

[silent matrix]

When it's full what do I do to use it

[wispy frigate]

Hold right trigger, does attack that does 4x normal damage

Bar automatically refills if you kill anything with it

[silent matrix]

Welp ig my games fucked and shadowmanes don't work since I can't dash or aoe and I'm taking fall damage when jumping

[celest patio]

stats

color isn't really that good

[wispy frigate]

Rip color, whatre the stats?

[celest patio]

im leveling it up rn

lemme send u in dms

[wispy frigate]

Don’t, #fanart-and-screenshots works

No wait sorry nvr mind

[celest patio]

e

[wispy frigate]

Holy jesus that has to be boosted

[celest patio]

boosted?

wdym

[wispy frigate]

Boosted stats

[celest patio]

idk it was level 299 when i found it

i leveled it up quite a bit actually

[silent matrix]

Ooh I found a high rez stego saddle

[wispy frigate]

Hmm so high difficulty and probably sp settings

[celest patio]

yeah

i put it at 0.7

[wispy frigate]

That explains it

[celest patio]

the color is kinda nice

it's brown with green streaks

[wispy frigate]

Show pic of the saber (not its stats) in #fanart-and-screenshots

Hmm I’ve seen worse

Camo saber

[celest patio]

yeah the color's kinda bad

i named it sabre because it sounds cool (despite being the same thing

[wispy frigate]

Nah its saber but fancy

[celest patio]

xd

i dont really care about colors i just want good stats

[wispy frigate]

Good

[mortal topaz]

Found a not half bad way to tame quetzal..My friend tried getting me to use harpoon net while I stood on his wyvern..but I was worried I would net his wyvern. So I jumped off when we were close, with sinomacrops on my back. And harpooned him down. Got lucky nothing dangerous was below

[wispy frigate]

Most colors youll find in the wild are ugly anyways

[celest patio]

yeah

[silent matrix]

So this is stupid asf the only reason I considered getting Genesis is useless as it doesn't do anything special as the abilities won't work

[paper nimbus]

wait, you bought genesis ONLY for manes? kinda dumb when u can just spawn em in

[silent matrix]

Well they are the main reason I also like bloodstalkers and voidwyrms butainly manes the r-creatures are cool too

[celest patio]

i dont like rexes because they are pretty slow but they do some good dmg

[silent matrix]

With the way my shadowmanes aren't working it's just a baryonyx that can go invisible at this point

[celest patio]

do you know where the abberation cave is

in valguero

im standing right on top of the coordinates and i cant find it

[past drift]

r u blind

[celest patio]

no

im at where im supposed to be

[past drift]

hmmmmmm

are u in the right mode

[celest patio]

nevermind i found it

[silent matrix]

Fob up😂😂🦍🤡

[celest patio]

the map is stupid

[past drift]

XD

[onyx harness]

Hi

[past drift]

Hi

[silent matrix]

Fob up

[onyx harness]

Is it possible to tame a dinosaur at early game? Kinda new to this game

[celest patio]

yes

[past drift]

wanna trade for a lev 323 unicorn male

[verbal roost]

what stats should i put on a snow owl?

[past drift]

yes it is

just depends what type

[verbal roost]

the current one i have has 1560 up 200% melee, 980 stam, and 480 weight

[past drift]

i thing stanima

[silent matrix]

If it’s pvp then put health on the owl so you can owl bomb and dive

[verbal roost]

r snow owl

[past drift]

not u

[verbal roost]

stam and hp? okay

[verbal roost]

oh sorry

[past drift]

its al

rr

[verbal roost]

yeh pvp

[onyx harness]

Ohh I see

[rose light]

yooooooooo the game remembers my tek visor scan setting across reloads now?

THIS is the kind of QOL improvement I love to see in games!

[slate flower]

that moment you think

im gonna tame a yutyranus

and see the 2 hour tame time with the right kibble

[hushed sigil]

Anyone know a good pvp the island server I can join on ps4 that isn’t dead

[celest patio]

use appetizer

[sharp jackal]

Ye, trike,dilo and parasaur

Taming a trike is pretty nerve wracking when starting out

Because it will shred your health

Ok so

I spawned next to a spino neighbouring the island next to me, Im getting scared of it being in the water because it might swim to the island Im on right now, should I move and let my turtles die or swim to the island the spino is in except I swim far away, the problem is piranhas can kill me and thus my important "loot" will be gone and be guarded by piranhas

Ok nevermind I forgot I had a knocked out turtle in the water now the spino is in the island

Time to run as the spino is fighting the bronto

[modest linden]

if i leave a fertile egg in vault will heatlh go down?

[hazy sleet]

Guys will it laggy if i play single player?? In ps4

[jovial karma]

No

[slate flower]

@sharp jackal i would just knock out the spino and tame it along with the turtles

or kill it but i dont think you can do that yet

ok so im new to the abberation map do i need to worry about anything specific i should get or treat it like i would the island only a bit more dangerous untill i have a few tames

[silent matrix]

where i can found teammates

[rose light]

hey, that's enough time to go get some biotoxin to keep the thing asleep

[rose light]

watch out for the giant crabs

[slate flower]

is there a way to rotate a hatch

[sharp jackal]

I dont have tranq arrows and bow unlocked

[slate flower]

anyone know the command to despawn all the dinos so my changes to dificulty can start without me having to commit a mass genocide of the entire map

[kind osprey]

I have issues with character transfer, I am stuck on CI, and I cannot transfer to any server from the transmitter. I tried the method where you go around the server you have been to and look for the character that was uploaded but no luck. Anything else i can try?

[long flicker]

on official?

[kind osprey]

yes on offical

[long flicker]

no idea what's causing it, sorry

[kind osprey]

It happened to my tribemate before, i went back to the server i was on, I was able to download the extra character then overwrite the one that was stuck, but seems not the case this time 😦 and server needs resetting tomorrow

[celest patio]

how do you power the egg incubator?

[ocean hemlock]

So
Karkinos

Is there supposed to be about a dozen of these things hogging every body of water ever on Scorched Earth
Or is that a mod

[slate flower]

i kill them for organic polymer and chiten

[ocean hemlock]

I just wanna live somewhere with water nearby
But the big edgy lanky crabs disagree

[slate flower]

kill them there not hard to kill and your faster then them

well i am

[ocean hemlock]

I'm using a fresh character here and spears don't seem to be enough

[slate flower]

a lvl10 is gonna have around 1k health

for every 10 levels add another 1k

[ocean hemlock]

The average is around level 10 ye
And they're just crowded around the oases in packs of like 5

[slate flower]

also i am using a crossbow

soo i do a bit more damage

[ocean hemlock]

Yeah, I'm not going anywhere near that water sadly

[slate flower]

not with that attitude

i mean im staring at a lvl 170 alpha crab

[ocean hemlock]

Figured out that yes, a mod was doing that
One that adds Abberation spawns to all maps
So followed a tutorial on how to remove specific spawns, did some copypasting and am gonna restart cuz XP gain's set stupid-high and I started a half-hour ago, not losing much

[fluid brook]

Tek generator https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Egg_Incubator_(Genesis:_Part_2)

[slate flower]

so whats a good tame so i can move around aberration more efficently

like somthing thats easy to tame

[stone steeple]

oh easy to tame idk but rock drakes seem to be good on abb

[sturdy wraith]

is there any building that cooks metal faster when the game continues

[fluid brook]

Gasbag or Manas, if it's a cluster

[tough yarrow]

An industrial forge or a bunch of capped refining forges

[sturdy wraith]

What does capped mean?

[tough yarrow]

Slot capped

Max amount of materials it can have in it

[sturdy wraith]

it can only cook 1 at a time still right?

[tough yarrow]

Yes 1 at a time in the refining forge, but I think 20 in the industrial

[karmic ivy]

Maybe ravagers?

Just bola them

[celest patio]

should i breed sabertooths (saberteeth if you will)

[manic path]

If your not running the Lost island labyrinth cave I'd recommend running it. holy the bp's are good

Its soo easy to run I've ran it 3times and I already know how to run it perfectly even a level 5 Maewing could run this

3runs already a 77Armor giga saddle bp. 640Dura journy flak gauntlets, 594Dura Journy flak legs. in 3runs

[celest patio]

are you talking to me..?

[manic path]

Legit anyone. I've asked a lot of people if the cave is hard everyone said its hard

This might be the easiest cave in ark for red crates + the fastest to run

[celest patio]

what

[manic path]

And no don't breed sabertooths

[celest patio]

why tho

[manic path]

There pretty weak compared to other dinos

Are u playing pvp or pve rn? and do u need dinos for anything specific

[celest patio]

im going to send you something is that alright?

[manic path]

yeah

[celest patio]

singleplayer

[manic path]

ahh singleplayer then u could breed whatever

[frail cave]

If I kill every single rock drake in the trench, do the eggs respawn?

[celest patio]

probably

[frail cave]

Cause I had a plan to grab all my beefy spinos and go on a murder spree to take all the rock drake eggs

But I don't wanna run out of supply, if you know what I mean

[celest patio]

the rock drakes will respawn themselves anyway so why shouldn’t the eggs?

[upbeat harbor]

Only kill the low lv ones. That way you have a higher chance of a good egg spawning

[frail cave]

Ye but

If I take an egg they all chase me

[glass mist]

jesus could anything be more annoying and broken than sinamocrops taming

[celest patio]

just stay still, syntac says you have to be 20 meters in their range

[glass mist]

ive had them show hearts and stay flying, never land to feed... be withing 50m of them and they just attack

[celest patio]

that’s because of chitin armor

also you need chitin in your LAST slot

[glass mist]

no its not because im naked

and I know how to tame them, just they arent consistent

[celest patio]

they don’t usually attack

[glass mist]

yeah they are broken. nothing around and getting must be outside to tame

nice of WC to patch the only sane way to tame them using torches

[jovial karma]

How kill alpha Rex in early game? 😅

[upbeat harbor]

Run fast, grapple your way out and wing suit away, tek suit out

[upbeat harbor]

Once you see the heart's DONT MOVE let it come to you. If it's just out of reach crouch and slowly move toward it step by step

[frail cave]

I don't have a tek suit lol

[upbeat harbor]

Use the first three steps then

[glass mist]

again, I know how to tame them, im saying it is inconsistent

[upbeat harbor]

Inconsistent in what way?

[silent matrix]

eyyyy

[glass mist]

hearts in mid air without landing, hearts then flying off, random attacks from ones im taming

can only be tamed outside when im not trapping them or standing near any structures

[upbeat harbor]

I'm on the steam version and had them flying off until I stopped dead and followed what I said before, as for the attacking you that's another first (unless you have wearing Chitin)
Dont try and trap them.

[glass mist]

dont even own chitin armor, and was completely naked. Tamed 2 low level ones this morning but I've tamed them before and it wasnt this broke

[silent matrix]

^do u guys find lost island drops give better stuff right now?
the red crates i mean

[stoic oak]

hey guys i have ark on epic games and my friend has it in steam i wanted to create a free server which i did question now is can he join my server ? i created it on scalacube

[polar wyvern]

Did you just copy my sentance?

[stoic oak]

no

[polar wyvern]

You copied my wednesday sentance...

[magic tulip]

[pine orchid]

I've just tamed my 1st raptor

Afer dying 3 times and kill 5 raptors I have do it.

[eternal oasis]

What do otters eat

And what stat should I up

[frail cave]

So warning: Do not use climbing picks in the railway cave on aberration

I clicked and instantly died, I had a spino in my inventory and good gear, its all gone.

[slate widget]

they only eat fish, but they need entire fish when taming :P its passive. Melee raises the insulation they give.

[eternal oasis]

Ok

[brittle peak]

That moment when your luck is bad and you only get male pups when breeding

I have too many males already, I need females XD

[silent matrix]

hey guyz if u want to play with me join vc

im on pc

[ripe hearth]

Anybody wanna play on Xbox? I’m bad at the game lol

[desert horizon]

i need help in ark

[brittle peak]

What kind of help?

[desert horizon]

i can't sigh with my friend

[brittle peak]

sigh?

[desert horizon]

to server

yes

you can help me

[finite bone]

Do servers keep survivor data if uploaded and transferred to another server? For example, if I ran 3 servers with different maps but no placeholder tribe mate; could I transfer between them and gain ownership back of my left behind dinos/buildings

[desert horizon]

i see you

[brittle peak]

Maybe, I need to know what the issue is more specifically, "I can't sigh with my friend" is vague,

[ripe hearth]

Yeah that’s kinda confusing to understand ngl

[brittle peak]

Plus I'm 90% sure Sigh isn't the word you're looking for

[ripe hearth]

I agree

[west kraken]

mystique minigun turrat

[verbal roost]

uhm why does dododex say it would take 5 hours to tame a lvl 100 shadowmane with 7, 1.5x fish?

[silk field]

How do you make a server where you and your friends can transfer between maps or do you need multiple servers

[lethal shoal]

ok guys im almost done preparing for a giga

[brittle peak]

Do you still need help??

[lethal shoal]

just need more exceptional kibble and then im good

[ripe hearth]

Does anyone wanna play with me? I’m kinda bad at the game tho and don’t really know how to st properly

[lethal shoal]

i can play with you

[ripe hearth]

Ok

[subtle mesa]

WTF do Astrcetus eat ones tamed mine wont eat anything at all

[ripe hearth]

How old are you btw just wondering? It’s ok if you don’t wanna answer

[lethal shoal]

14

[ripe hearth]

Ah ok then that’s not too bad

I’m on Xbox let me know whenever you wanna play

[lethal shoal]

alright, i'd say an hour or two if that works for you?

[ripe hearth]

In an hour or two that would be half for or 5 in the evening for me so that works fine

[lethal shoal]

alright, i will create a new character so we can play on your world, what ark are you on btw?

[olive egret]

so had a Parasaur spawn literally in the middle of my taming area that has foundations everywhere, thought they couldnt spawn on foundations?

[ripe hearth]

I’m not sure I just recently got back in to the game I haven’t joined a server

[lethal shoal]

have you been playing singleplayer or on official?

[olive egret]

think i might have found out why spawns keep happening, gaps in undermesh 😦

[ripe hearth]

Single player I believe

But didn’t really understand the game and kept dying to dilos lol

[lethal shoal]

are you on the island?

[ripe hearth]

Really not sure tbh lol

[lethal shoal]

describe what it looks like

[ripe hearth]

The map I’m on rn?

[lethal shoal]

yeah

[silk field]

Do you just click random buttons? How do you start a game not knowing if your in single player or what map your on?

[ripe hearth]

I’m doing a single player rn and there’s some snowy mountains around I spawned at a big lake where there’s forests around

[lethal shoal]

ok so the island

[ripe hearth]

No it’s a custom ark

Not the island

[lethal shoal]

i honestly cant tell you how many maps have that

[long flicker]

you select the map before you load in

so you can't really not know which map you're on

unless you're on the island that's selected by default

[ripe hearth]

I think it’s below ragnarok

I forget the name of it

[long flicker]

I don't remember which one is below ragnarok but it's probably valguero

[ripe hearth]

That’s it

[long flicker]

I haven't played much on valg, don't know its terrain much

[lethal shoal]

alright

see you when we play rattings, but you should learn how to set up a multiplayer thing

cause i will be joining you

[long flicker]

person you're on xbox?

[ripe hearth]

Yes

[long flicker]

oh I just noticed you have that role

[ripe hearth]

Ok np

Yeah

[long flicker]

well, gl with whatever you're doing

[ripe hearth]

How do I craft

I’m just running around

[silent matrix]

Does anyone know why crystal isles doesn't have any cave loot?

[eternal oasis]

Havent tested but yes I've been told your tribe n all that stays and if on single player I think its a little harder to transfer

[finite bone]

Appreciate it, its a dedicated we run but we have discussed swapping maps as we beat bosses and more or less having a 'home base' to come back to as needed but turning the server down inbetween

[ripe hearth]

How do I find a tribe or something single player is so hard lol

I just got mugged by a trike

[finite bone]

Dont worry, multiplayer is hard too

[ripe hearth]

😟

[finite bone]

Id suggest going to the xbox group or here (as you did) and asking if anyone has a server you could join or just joining one randomly

[ripe hearth]

But how would I make friends and form a tribe? I couldn’t survive on my own lol

[finite bone]

Just talk and be nice

[tough yarrow]

#735196267373920286 has people looking as well.

[ripe hearth]

Ok

Thank you

[finite bone]

Totally dont see that server, nice one

[tough yarrow]

You have the pc role, so you'll only see the #735196255483068497, #800537518843756544, and #800537627752398899 channels 🙂 if you want access to the other platform specific channels, you'll need to platform roles, or you can simply say its under the #bulletin-board-rules channel if you're just looking to help others

[finite bone]

yeah I assumed the verified would show all, apparently not lol

[tough yarrow]

[inland grotto]

[eternal oasis]

People just recruit newer plays to show them how to play

[long dome]

Can I add mods on a xbox non ded server

[solemn bronze]

Unofficial clusters are also a great way to get started in multiplayer. Lots of good ones in #800538816691699722

[tough yarrow]

Mods are only supported through Steam.

[long dome]

Rip

Where should I spawn at the start of genesis 2 ?

[gleaming karma]

are we able to tame things inside of caves now or something

[long flicker]

it's a dumb system

[long flicker]

the location that you choose to spawn at

[long flicker]

depends on the dino and the cave

[gleaming karma]

guess i didnt realize that we couldnt before hand

i always assumed youd couldnt tame the 200+ stuff

[long flicker]

caves with increased level dinos are all untamable

[gleaming karma]

yea

[long dome]

Where should I spawn at the start of genesis 2 ?

[long flicker]

not all caves have increase level

[long flicker]

I already answered you

[gleaming karma]

so basically anything normal is now tameable

[long flicker]

"now"?

I Don't remember hearing about any cave changes recently

[gleaming karma]

hm

saw it floating around, mustve been rumor

[long flicker]

idk, maybe it's my bad memory

[gleaming karma]

are there any caves in LostIsle that dont have 200+ creatures

[long flicker]

dunno about lost isles

[gleaming karma]

i know "hard" caves are the ones with super high levels

just dont remember which ones are considered hard

[brittle peak]

I don't touch caves XD, too spoopy

I like CI ngl. Passive tame wyverns + One of the prettiest maps in my opinion

[long flicker]

I don't like the wyverns, and CI is even buggier than the rest of ark

oh damn rasputin is here

[gleaming karma]

lol

[unborn marten]

How do you get 2 Dinos to be the same level for mutating

[brittle peak]

Level them to be the same..?

[dapper crow]

Eyoo

[long flicker]

that's not how stats work lol

[dapper crow]

You keep breeding them

[long flicker]

you breed until you get twins with the stats you want, or you just keep breeding and try to get lucky

[dapper crow]

Until they’re both the same level/stat

Finding alpha karkinos is pain

[long flicker]

good luck

[unborn marten]

Ok thanks

[long flicker]

*opposite gendered twins

[unborn marten]

What’s the twins chance?

[long flicker]

don't remember, cehck on wiki

[dapper crow]

The other day we did alpha rockwell and failed. I was the only one without the aberrant alpha implant as my pc used to suck at running ark and we did it a few months back. So we re-did it but lost the light pets early on

[long flicker]

oof, that sucks

[dapper crow]

First boss fight we actually failed at

[onyx harness]

Is there any benefit from taming small animals like dodo or seagull?

[dapper crow]

Got all but the alpha karky claw to redo him

Not really no

[long flicker]

well, dodos are used for egg farming, seagulls for easy early game prime

[dapper crow]

Did get him down to the last stage, coulda done it but I was the last person alive at that point

[onyx harness]

Aight thx

[long flicker]

rockwell has stages?

[dapper crow]

Aberration rockwell yeah

[long flicker]

what stages?

isn't it always just "shoot tentacles, avoid ballz and electricity"

[dapper crow]

Yeah

But the electricity doesn’t come till like the third stage

[versed gale]

To Server Admins - I have been using SyncThing to connect two very remote servers from each other...one runs Windows, the other running Ubuntu Linux and they work together as a cluster and it works great.

[long flicker]

oh like the third time you downed him

or whatever the fuck you call it
stages does sound better

[dapper crow]

Ye

[timid fulcrum]

Guys i bought a 25 euro paysafecard for the genesis season pass but when i check out it says that its 25.60 euro what do i do

[dapper crow]

Two out of the four of us died just as he got to the part where he sinks for the third time, but our last drake died aaand it became reaper time lol

We’ll have two more people, much better drakes (mutated ones) and nameless venom

[timid fulcrum]

Guys i bought a 25 euro paysafecard for the genesis season pass but when i check out it says that its 25.60 euro what do i do

[dapper crow]

Well you just can’t buy it until there’s a sale

Don’t need to post the same message twice tho

[unborn marten]

Is there an up to date lava cave guide

[brittle peak]

Did you forget sales tax lol, I've done that too. As Chocoo said, wait for a sale, or use another means to pay the last .60 euro

[long dome]

At what level can I unlock the Maywing and net launcher

[timid fulcrum]

But how often do sales come on epic for ark dlc's?

[long dome]

At what level can I unlock the Maywing and net launcher

[brittle peak]

Not sure, really. Hence why I suggest simply using an alternate payment for the last chunk

[brittle peak]

Google it lol. Dododex or the ark wiki should have the answer. Or if you're online just check your engram list

[timid fulcrum]

But can paysafecards expire

[dapper crow]

I mean you probably should’ve checked that before purchasing it

[brittle peak]

^^

I don't bother with paysafecards, I just use a credit/debit card to safe the trouble.

[dapper crow]

Now I’m not one for economics buuuuuut I’m pretty sure that’s one of the more important parts

[brittle peak]

pfft

[dapper crow]

Ehhe I see what you did there

[brittle peak]

yes indeed

But yeah, I don't bother with Paysafe cards. Seems like a wasteul purchase.

[dapper crow]

Ugffhfghfh why aren’t reaper queens spawning

Finding alpha karkinos is hard enough

But now reaper queens are non-existent

[brittle peak]

ouchies

[verbal roost]

r snow owls worth breeding

[brittle peak]

Depends if you have use for them or not

[copper edge]

yes definitely

depends what level they are obviously

[dapper crow]

Level doesn’t mean much, it’s the stats

[pine orchid]

Can someone check in #fanart-and-screenshots and answer to me pls

[bold terrace]

Can you build in ratholes in classic

[pseudo rover]

is there a good map anywhere for all the survivor notes on the island

[bronze gate]

anyone doing gen1 boss full carry? on smalltribe ps4 for me and my mate we pay aka farm anything for it dm me ty

[lethal shoal]

should i breed argys?

or is it a waste of time

[bronze gate]

if you have good ones to farm with than yes you should

[analog whale]

did they patch out the ability to reroll the imprint want with cryopod?

[lethal shoal]

no

[analog whale]

ive cryod my dino like 15 times, why isnt it rerolling?

[silent matrix]

Can I get a toyota prius from a gacha? or is that gacha claus only

[bronze gate]

maybe unlucky?

[cedar plaza]

Raptors where able to jump on other dinosaurs right?

[pine orchid]

on little dinos

[cedar plaza]

Do you know how I can do that?

[pine orchid]

right click

[cedar plaza]

And walk straight against a dino?

[pine orchid]

I dont understand$

[cedar plaza]

Because that was a dumb question. Lmao

[pine orchid]

bc i speak english really bad

[snow rover]

do the stryders' ability to transfer items to dedi storage with a harvesting rig work anywhere on the map once linked? do Stryders automatically harvest if I turn on the mining beam and get off?

[long flicker]

once linked, stryders stay linked till they're transferred or if you manually remove the link
I'm not sure about transferring but I'm guessing it removes the link

[snow rover]

Okay bet

[shadow elbow]

Anyone else got a problem where you successfully join a server and get disconnected after a few seconds? Having this problem and coudnt find fix

[long flicker]

ask in #bobs-with-probs

[shadow elbow]

ah alr thx

[steep blaze]

@heavy cedar @peak finch roll back Xbox official pvp 893

[gleaming karma]

alright, ive been trying for ages now but i cannot get troodon taming to work. everything ive tried sacrificing has been on neutral, ive tried adults and babies, sacrifices have been unconscious, troodon loses aggro on me, but in the end it jsut ignores the sacrifice. so id appreciate any help

[snow rover]

just to make sure i'm understanding correctly - so you cannot put a Stryder into "mining" mode, get off, and it continue to mine resources?

[tulip magnet]

nope

you need to stay on the stryder for it to farm

[silent matrix]

Hello

I have a problem with the game

[mild kayak]

Only the 2005 model no others unfortunatly

[snow rover]

RIP

[tulip magnet]

just use it

it ain't that hard

[pliant locust]

yea because stryder needs to be even more op / buffed as is 😛

[silent matrix]

is there anyone more experienced with the game who can help me? the idea is that I downloaded it two days ago from the play store, I played a bit until I died with the tamed dinosaurs after me, then I deleted the save and the game from the phone, immediately after that I wanted to get it modified but no it worked, and now when I want to get it from google play it doesn't let me, it doesn't install on my phone

Plecase help me 🥺

[tulip magnet]

first of all, why are you playing mobile ark?

[snow rover]

yea , just started back on official again not too terribly long ago and my little bro plays here and there with me, I've noticed tons of stryders scattered upon the Gen1 map that we tribed up on, i figured they just auto harvested if they were left alone in mining mode

[silent matrix]

Because for a moment i dont have a good computer,my computer is old,and for me the mobile game is more atractive

[snow rover]

i figured they were left @ resource locations because they harvested materials automatically 😂

[silent matrix]

You know somebody who can help me?

[snow rover]

we tamed 2, relatively low level, 15 and 25, and i mean yeah I guess its ok if you need just moderate amounts of everything

[tulip magnet]

idk, i think there is a server for mobile ark

[snow rover]

but i mean, i have an aberrant anky with decent melee, and magmasaur, and both are more efficient at harvesting element and metal respectively per node

[silent matrix]

Really is?

[pliant locust]

yes that is true. stryders arent efficient in terms of resources gathered per single node, they only get OP / super strong once u are endgame basically.
without a skiff to transport them ( cant even put them on rafts/boats) and dedi boxes they are kinda meh

[snow rover]

yep pretty much about where i'm at 😂 it feels not useful now that i'm actually poking around with it

[quasi hull]

Any idea how much mods a server can run stable ?

[cedar plaza]

Where u from?

[pine orchid]

from France

[dapper crow]

i feel like doing a mini-ultimate ark play thru, which maps should i do?

[plush oar]

any way to get rid of the annoying fog cannot see thats every 10mins on lost island gg

[snow rover]

can you withdraw items from tek dedi storages until you're slotcapped?

like you can drop many times over your character's weight but if you press F to pick it up you can have it all in your inventory at once

i haven't ever used dedis and am poking around testing with it on singleplayer but i see that in the right side inventory there's no actual items, only the buttons from the dedicated storage menu to withdraw resources

[dapper crow]

hold down e on it

[fluid brook]

as far as i know 19 was the maximum i'v seen and it wasn't laggy at all

[snow rover]

there is no way to drop item bags from a dedicated storage????

how do you withdraw a large amount of a heavy resource from a dedi?

[dapper crow]

download s+ and use the pull feature :>

[snow rover]

i'm on official

i'll just not use dedis if that's my alternative, lol

[fluid brook]

you can't unless you destroy it

[snow rover]

that's the most useless thing i have ever heard in my life

[fluid brook]

i know

[snow rover]

hooooooly

i thought a stryder was worth, turns out it wasn't , you need dedi to even partially make it worth getting one

but i had no idea dedis are mind-numbingly awful to use

[fluid brook]

maybe from your point of view , it's usefull for gathering stone and metal

[long dome]

How can I change the max level wild dinos spawn at

[fluid brook]

change the difficulty

[long dome]

How

[snow rover]

because, if you've made it and are actively playing on Gen2, stone and metal is of your primary concern... 😂

[fluid brook]

solo game ?

[long dome]

Yes

[fluid brook]

then you can go up to 1 by using the settings menu , but you have to change values in game.ini to go highter

[snow rover]

is there no easy way to remove large amounts of resources at a time from dedis?

how the hell do people use them for metal and why? if you have to open and close the menu for every stack that you transfer of metal?

[static fjord]

click transfer all, it ignores weight so you'll get 300 stacks.

[long dome]

How can I learn the maewing sadle

It not for me at level 19

[opal elk]

What do you guys use to help determine stats for what tames are worth breeding to make mutated dinos? Dododex or is there something better?

[long dome]

How can I learn the maewing sadle,It not for me at level 19

[opal elk]

Do you have engram points to unlock it?

[static fjord]

the wiki has all the values, so if you want you can calculate it by yourself with a calculator

a general rule of thumb is if it has 25-30 points in a stat, its worth mutating.

[opal elk]

Ok, and am I looking at th stats while is unconscious, or right after its tamed?

[static fjord]

right after tame.

the unconscious stats do matter, but not as much since taming effectiveness levels are a big factor.

[opal elk]

Because im running a server that pumps levels right after tame so not sure what's most effective

Gotcha thanks

[static fjord]

so basically if something has 15 points into a stat pre tame it probably sucks, but one that has 25 would be amazing.

[opal elk]

Can i dm you wyvern

I want to send you a picture of my x allo

Its stats

[static fjord]

okay.

[junior mirage]

A question. I went to the surface and transfered with the Obelisk to another map. But i left a ravager and a Bulbdog there. Will they die overday or not if im not in render?

[magic tulip]

They take I think 7 days to auto decay

As long as they aren’t eaten lol

[snow rover]

what's the preferred ranged weapon on pve?

[static fjord]

i think they mean will they burn up while theyre not in render.

compound bowl

[junior mirage]

Yeah thats what i meant

[snow rover]

i remember using and frequenting carrying an asc pump shotgun before when I played

[heady trail]

@snow rover Shotgun or fab sniper , longneck for taming

[static fjord]

comp bows get slept on for pve, theyre cheap, dont need gunpowder and you get your ammo back.

[snow rover]

I'm moreso looking to output DPS than taming 👍

[heady trail]

Shotgun

[snow rover]

Just taking out wild dinos without bringing another dino for it

does the range effect damage from shotguns?

[static fjord]

no but it affects how many pellets actually hit.

[heady trail]

Yes in a way

[junior mirage]

So will they burn up there or not? Else i'd spawn at base get a ravager and go up there pick up and take the transmitter with me

[snow rover]

bet, this is all I needed to know 🙏

[leaden pike]

@snow rover if you are at tek tier and have shards to spare a tekbow takes the place of a compound bow and a long neck for tranqing

[static fjord]

i dont think anyone here knows, i wouldnt take the risk though

[snow rover]

I just remember as well that the spread on ark is TIGHT for a goood distance away

[knotty lodge]

Shotgun is affected by range more than pump-action shotgun.. the pump has a very long effective range 🙂

[static fjord]

not necessarily though.

[heady trail]

throw a sight on it

[snow rover]

is tek bow > pump shotgun in dps?

[static fjord]

in terms of just general usage, i'd take a compound bow just for the fact that metal arrows are cheap and you get your ammo back

tek bow is the king of all weapons.

[snow rover]

you know

how does a tek rifle compare to a pump shotgun?

in terms of dps

[static fjord]

pumps do more dpsl

tek rifles arent worth it in my opinion, the recoil is insane so if you hit yourself once either you die or your armour dura does.

[leaden pike]

Yeah I'd say a crafted tek bow will out due a shotgun for dps if you hit all ya shots plus the sweet headshot multiplier

[snow rover]

I wish I was just the level to craft the tek bow, i've been wanting to try that bad boy out for a minute

[static fjord]

not to mention tek bows have instant and no drop shots

[snow rover]

any tips for levelling up lv100+ survivors?

[static fjord]

you need to ascend, otherwise you'll be at 105

[snow rover]

I have one ascencion, alpha overseer

[heady trail]

Tek pod

[snow rover]

just don't really know good ways of XP at this point

[leaden pike]

Get alpha Rockwell and your set

[heady trail]

Fight gamma rockwell on abb

[snow rover]

you're talking about sleeping pod right?

[heady trail]

Yes that would be the tek sleeping pod

[snow rover]

I've been looking for a rockwell run since the last time I survived the ark on this survivor LOL

and don't really think, until a few weeks/months, that I def won't be able to take it on with my bro

[heady trail]

It's ez on foot with cactus broth and shotgun

[static fjord]

if you have gigas, get them on breed, prepare some of the xp soup, write down a note location and once youve racked up some eggs, go to town on the babiesl

[cedar plaza]

How can I get a Hyaenodon Costume?

[snow rover]

I will keep this in mind - a friend dropped me a care package upon my arrival back into official and I do have a few gigas, i think i have 2 females that I could pop eggs from

Do you have to have dinos outside of cryo to progress the mating timers?

[heady trail]

No

[static fjord]

no

[snow rover]

okay bet

Don't really have a safe space to keep them out too well atm

[heady trail]

Just don't transfer them or it resets

[snow rover]

this explains the reason behind my question 😂

[heady trail]

Cx

[snow rover]

my mating timers on everything, even dinos that he said he hadn't used in months i still have to wait on

does a baby give the same amount of xp as killing an adult?

[static fjord]

yeah.

[snow rover]

cool cool

[static fjord]

the higher level gigas you have, the better, doesnt matter if its stats are garbage or not. a level 200 baby giga is going to give a ton of xp

[snow rover]

huh

I'm checking out dododex's xp page, it seems like a lot of the dinos here on Gen1 volcano where I'm based up give okay experience

maybe it's worth just running around for a bit on a rex and meatrunning? the only thing to provide exp boost is survivor notes / xp broth right?

[static fjord]

the hesperornis golden egg too.

do you have a mek?

[cedar plaza]

Are there any in the game?

[rigid loom]

quick question need quick answer can i play ark for example map the island on sp and different the island on host with friend?

[slate widget]

I believe SP and non-dedi share the same save file, dedicateds don't. you can also have them host and it'll be their save :P

[rigid loom]

so i can play on free time sp and with friend on same map but different save?

[stable idol]

How do i disable/increase tether range it has been removed from the general/advanced tab

[snow rover]

Golden egg? and yeah, I just crafted a mek the other day 😄 just a regular extinction mek

[static fjord]

use the mek, it doesnt have an xp bar so it wont get shared between you and your rex.

[snow rover]

Are there any differences in exo mek and regular aside from how you obtain them? is exo better in every way?

[static fjord]

no.

exo-meks are utility based, extinction meks are combat based

but like if were judging them 1 on 1 then i'd say exo-mek is better since it has more uses.

[snow rover]

And okay cool that was my next question, dinos get a portion of the xp instead of you getting all if you’re riding them while you kill dinos?

[static fjord]

yes.

if you hop off and get the last kill yourself, you'd get all the xp but thats really annoying.

if you can go to extinction, a red (or purple if you can get access to ice titan) will get you tons of xp.

osd i mean.

[dense furnace]

are parasaurs useful as an early tame? i feel like my moschops will be a better gatherer and i can just get a raptor if i want a mount(and it'll harvest meat)

[static fjord]

arguably parasaurs are better than raptors, they'll scare off small threats like raptors and have a crazy weight stat

[long dome]

How do I enable the helmet scanning thingy in gen 2

[static fjord]

xbox? hold x.

[dense furnace]

will other raptors attack a raptor?

[static fjord]

yes

[stable idol]

Does anyone know why i lose all my items every time i load up a non-dedicated world? the blueprints and everything is still there

[static fjord]

wild dinos will attack tamed dinos of the same species if said dino was aggressive to begin with, and dinos slightly bigger than itself, and everything smaller.

[dense furnace]

if i keep dinos that predators will attack(some small prey thing) next to something that they wont attack(maybe like a trike), will they just ignore the big guy and eat the small ones, or will the big one scare them away

[static fjord]

it'll attack the small guys but it might accidently hit the big guy, big guy will get angry (if its neutral) and attack the predator.

[static fjord]

this isnt exact though, its just a general rule of thumb that if the predator looks about the same size as the prey, and the prey isnt also a predator, then it'll attack it.

sorry wrong quote, i meant my message.

[dense furnace]

alright, so big fellas wont protect little fellas unless they're provoked

generally

[static fjord]

yeah, remember that if 1 species gets attack, all other dinos of the same species will come to its aid in an area around it.

either come to their aid or run away with it.

[dense furnace]

ooooo

how do most people tend to store dinos to avoid them being killed when not in use?

[static fjord]

cryopods, or keeping them in a safe place around or in their base.

cryopods are basically pokeballs, you get them around mid game.

[dense furnace]

yeah ive seen them

alright thanks

[silent matrix]

How do I fix the aberration ark, I want to un-nuke it

[static fjord]

rename it, its called an aberration after all.

[silent matrix]

So if I call it Whoville it’ll stop being irradiated and infested and be a normal ark again?

[silent matrix]

Is helena professor oak

[static fjord]

no.

theres several differences between the two but in my opinion the most obvious is the fact that professor oak never removes his lab coat.

[silent matrix]

Is there a setting that removes the timer on structures so that you can't pick them up?

Or is it a mod?

[static fjord]

if you have access to .ini you should be able to alter it to however high or low you want.

[silent matrix]

Um?

Is that a mod? I'm on xbox

[tender rock]

If you're playing singleplayer mode you won't be able to change that

[silent matrix]

Oof

How… do I substitute for silk in maps that lack it

Mk thank you

[static fjord]

on xbox you cant remove it.

[tender rock]

There is no sub

[tender rock]

you can if you rent a server

[static fjord]

transfer lymantrias and you can breed them, kill the babies for silk.

[silent matrix]

I get mad and start furiously pressing xbot buttons.

[silent matrix]

Oh my god thank you

[static fjord]

i'd assume he doesnt rent a server otherwise he would of seen the setting.

[silent matrix]

He’s a professional of course he wouldn’t

[static fjord]

professor oak isnt even cool.

samson oak is the cool one, whipping out the damn totem pokemon for you to grab for basically free.

[lethal shoal]

if my bary didnt kill the young padawans he would have not been killed by my argy

[silent matrix]

I prefer Brock Ketchum

ash ketchup’s son

now there’s a professional proto helena

[snow rover]

you have to have ice titan to do a purple supply drop?

are supply drops doable solo with a giga?

[static fjord]

kind of, you dont need one but its almost necessary because of how difficult it is.

only red ones are solable with a giga, wouldnt recommend it without at least a mate boost pair though.

[lethal shoal]

are there any really flat areas on the island

[snow rover]

I've legit never touched OSDs with the exception of when I very first started this character on official, and started on Extinction - I had a random wild tamed Mana and tried to use that for the lowest tier and it ripped me pretty bad, but I had legit 0 experience with any of the DLC at that point, only had played the Island on solo and played smalltribes years before

are OSDs still the meta for blueprint farming?

[tender rock]

for mek bps yes

[snow rover]

do you just pop behe gates around the osd and circle chomping and call it a day if you're running them solo?

[tender rock]

yeah just form a triangle with behe gates

[snow rover]

bet 🙏 tyty

[tender rock]

np

[snow rover]

my giga has 33k hp, 2200 melee, and i'm rocking an asc saddle - up to what color drop would you recommend running?

[silent matrix]

White

[tender rock]

you could probably run a red. Purple is the hardest

If you're solo though i would bring an extra giga, mate boosted

[snow rover]

bet - guess i'll start with the easiest first and work my way up seeing how well I fare

[digital sorrel]

Whats better for eggs air conditionner or egg incubator ? Or is it the same

[snow rover]

the incubator completely replaces air cons iirc

[final lake]

incubator is 20% shorter time if you set it to the right temp

[tender rock]

Yeah good idea

[final lake]

other than that its same

[snow rover]

yeah they achieve the same effect on eggs 👍

[final lake]

incubator also keeps egg ready to hatch so you dont have to set a timer and catch babies before they starve

[hexed wolf]

is the osd glitch where they are instantly get destroyed when nothing hits them

[snow rover]

do corrupted dinos have the same amount of HP as regular dinos?

[leaden pike]

@snow rover no I do not believe so. I think they have just a bit more hp

Than their wild counterparts

[snow rover]

ahhhh okay

[weary urchin]

i just had an egg hatch with triplets who all had mutations.
TWICE IN A ROW

my luck is on something today

[silent matrix]

Woah :)

[trim wedge]

Just had a thought... why not use wyverns instead of Rexes for the boss fights?? I mean if you're fighting the monkey or brood mother, most of the attacks are melee, whereas a lightning wyvern could just shoot lightning at it whilst it's flying

Still relatively new to ark so don't be upset if this is terribly wrong

[silent matrix]

I don’t think most bosses allow fliers

[trim wedge]

Oh I see

[silent matrix]

And iirc there’s a weight limit

Thus people using rexes over gigas

[trim wedge]

I see

Thank you for letting me know

[silent matrix]

Yahh :)

[fluid brook]

only for manticore

[snow rover]

hey guys, I have a question - i know the level cap on official is 450, and that in the past that you were able to level dinos past the cap and eventually they'd despawn because it's not allowed, but I have a rex that is level 450 now with free levels still and see that they are no longer able to be applied (I assume, to prevent people from despawning their dinos)

well, I have a magmasaur that I got as a clone at 410, and it's level 450 now, and i have 2 free levels on it, and it presents me with the option in its inventory to level it up still (the + signs beside the levels are glowing, but for example on the rex they are greyed out despite having more levels)

is that safe to do?

level the magmasaur past level 450?

[verbal jay]

i got my meelee damage to 1.2K is that good

[wild reef]

I don’t think it will allow it

[silent matrix]

Hello someone Play on ps 4 right now ?

[prisma sand]

I mean if you’re looking to knock out rexes with the old one two combo then yeah sure

[verbal jay]

killed a t red with like 8 hits lmao i killed it by accident my friend is mad

[cedar plaza]

How can my otter catch fish?

[high delta]

is there a length to how long servers stay open as far as day count goes?

[alpine lark]

Hey everyone I am looking for a tribe on PvP official (Xbox only), and I have 1870 hours played. I’m a great tamer/beeeder and know how to thorough breed, I also love grinding…if anyone’s interested please message me anytime, thank you

[snow rover]

It gives me the option to click the button - i would screenshot and post it , but in neither of the screenshot channels are sharing menu screenshots allowed for whatever reason

As i said though too, I have more levels that could go into the level 450 rex , but it flat out grays out and would not allow me to click that button even if i wanted to

So i’m just wondering if there’s some distinction that i’m failing to see here - i believe i’ve heard that X dinos could theoretically do level 500 on official, but never seen it

I’m wondering if the magma falls into that same category

[final lake]

it should

[grave needle]

Will a wandering thyla climb over 2-high walls or spike walls

[snow rover]

out of curiosity, what indicates/shows though that x dinos truly go to lvl 500 (and the magma too)? do you maybe have a wiki page or some resource i could read up on this specifically

[final lake]

nah sorry just word of mouth

[shell blade]

do not take my word for this, but I do believe the level cap was increased to 500 with Genesis 2

[snow rover]

I have a regular level 450 Rex sitting in front of me right now with 28 points available, 674161.9/7919 XP, with completely greyed out icons beside the levels

[shell blade]

Genesis/2 creatures*

[final lake]

I was told its on things bred out since the change also

but yea only x/r specific creatures and the creatures such as shadowmane or mag unique to gen1 + gen2

everything else was made to gain 88 levels tho including regular rex, but still cap at 450

that is on the wiki

I googled tho I cant find any info on the official level cap of mags

thats a super high lvl mag tho tbh

on xbox I breed mags and the highest one I have is 308 at pop but I downbred off oxygen and movespeed so they are at 264 now

[chilly pollen]

Does uninstalling ark get rid of my map pins?

[quartz kraken]

so I ran into a giga with my attack force Dino's outas I call them
and it auto saved on me

like 4 already died as well when it saved

[left forum]

It's dangerous to go alone,
take this:

[snow rover]

thank ya - I also just had a quick chat with the trader who i got it from, and they also relayed the same message - it counts as an X dino ( at least in terms of levelling mechanics ) despite just not having the X- tag before the name; also, after searching and looking everywhere but the wiki page, I coincidentally found it under the Max Levels tab of the "Leveling" wiki page 😂

[left forum]

it wil help tame your future giga

but seriously, they are really mean with their bleed damge they do against you and your tames

[quartz kraken]

I've a hit set out on this giga now😂 anyone with something op wanna come kill it for me get revenge😂

[left forum]

30k health go down in a matter of seconds, sorta.

[quartz kraken]

OMG it didn't register the auto save😍

[left forum]

its the agent smith under the dinos

[quartz kraken]

I exited after it said saving and went back and it's prior to finding it

[grave needle]

Will creatures on aggressive aggro unclaimed babies?

[quartz kraken]

[lucid ore]

Bad luck, it happens a lot, sometimes u just need to restart and that's all, but today seems to be deep than that

[tight scaffold]

Been 2 days now

[wicked ferry]

2 days? wild the only time I ever ran into an unintended 'bug' was with ps4 and the old lighting issues

[tight scaffold]

I’m quite sad about it I just wanna play a private server with me and my friend

[lucid ore]

[molten otter]

unless you have a seperate server you can't easily fix it

[tulip yarrow]

i like connected to his ip thats how we play

[molten otter]

keep in mind that border is there because of performance issues

[inner sonnet]

does anyone have the secret to getting a decent supply of rare flowers on scorched earth? - Nevermind, grossly overleveled megatherium seems to manage well enough

[snow rover]

I forgot to respond to this earlier -- i paid 250 tek for it, i canshoot you a pic of the base stats if you'd like 😄 it's super nice

[silent matrix]

Where do voidwyrms spawn and what do they eat

[snow rover]

in gen2 space, and mutagen

[drifting dune]

Whats the difference with ark and general

[snow rover]

i think general just means general discussion but ark is general discussion pertaining to ark

[grave needle]

Will a thyla with 15k health/2k melee be able to handle swamp/strong caves?

[silent matrix]

How do you get mutagen?

Are the vent things in the gen 2 space biome a good base?

[tranquil epoch]

No

[west acorn]

[rose light]

🔥 🔥 found an all gold tek parasaur, taming was just over 80%, TWO RAPTORS RUN UP AND EAT IT

[knotty lodge]

Friend is trying ark and only has the Island. He can DL Lost Island right? Only requires base game?

[finite rune]

Why is there no normal official servers. It’s all arkpoc servers

[sturdy juniper]

Servers down

[tough yarrow]

Updates #735188572688089229 , some servers may just be taking a little longer.

[silent matrix]

Anyone know why if I’m owner on Xbox smalls tribe, and our tribe name just changed randomly and I didn’t change it and I can’t change it back, why that would happen?

[rose light]

I guess on the bright side I finally found a beehive that doesn't have bees

[silent matrix]

Can you get mutated dinos from mutated dinos?

how do u get past level 105

[unborn sluice]

How come when yall fix something, you break more shit ? I cant even find my gen 2 server, no access to my toon.

[silent matrix]

yes

[silent matrix]

Lost island and several others are free DLC

They’re noncanon and originally (at least most were) created by modders

[silent matrix]

Guess I'm unlucky then lol been breeding for about a half hour and got nothing

[silent matrix]

well how many eggs have u hatched

[silent matrix]

Kill alphas with a chibi equipped I believe

oh thanks

[silent matrix]

Mammals

About 100

oh wow do they have more then 20 mutations already?

No

then ur probably just unlucky

Only got a few stat mutations but they were bad and I got a color mutation

Lol

Having the same issue with my sinonacrops. Got red wings then I got nothing

something u could try is breeding non mutated till u get a mutation and breed the 2 mutations

[slim dove]

is there anyway i can see my specific longitude and latitude without estimating?

[oblique pebble]

Why are the servers still not back up?

[tough yarrow]

Check general chat, Seggzy just said maintenance/ deployment takes about an hour

[oblique pebble]

An hour! I was raising dinos the still couldn't feed themselves just yet...

[silent matrix]

That's what I was doing. The dinos that I can't get mutations from are mutated lol

oh lol

actually now that i think about it idk if they can

Went back to my non mutated and got a bit more luck

keep breeding non mutated

yea exactly

I keep killing all the non mutated ones lol

thats what i do]

Lol

im wondering whats the highest weapon dmg a blueprint can have

333% blueprint*

[slim dove]

what are the best saddles/tames to get? ik anklyo is for metals stones, trike for berries

just starter ones i guess is what im asking

[silent matrix]

titanosaur is a good starting tank

porbably beaver for wood and doedicurus for stone

[smoky dawn]

Thereizino is a good multitool

[silent matrix]

agreed

[slim dove]

ok i am only lvl 53, i did explorer note run & on the island

id like to get thereizino but i need more levels 🤒

what about a carno??

[smoky dawn]

Carnos are okay

Id say a raptor has better mobility

[silent matrix]

Better mobility but is more likely to die

[brittle sorrel]

What coords os alpha extinction tree at?

[slender basalt]
