He’s high enough level for that
That’s actually what I’m doing I just got back on. Lost any and all connections 💀
U need lvl 96 for giga saddle and 62 for normal tranq dart
Well I got a saddle from gen 2
Ah
But yeah the tranq darts
Gen 2 has really good drops and I don't know why
It’s a double edged sword
Twice the damage lol
Yup
It’s cool tho, but I think ark is starting to get less popular after it released
At least on ps4 idk abt pc
Same on xbox
It got popular because of lost island but it's basically the same as the other maps but with three new dinos
best way to kill a giga is what to trap it? and hit with arrows
At low lvl yea
If your a lower level player than yeah
would a theri be worth getting over a mammoth idk im torn and have a personal vendetta against beavers
theyre so ugly and annoying i despise those beavers
Theri for sure
Theri in my opinion
ah alr ty
Gets berry's fiber wood and thatch
Yea
i admittedly didnt know that despise playing for a few years lol
I think the tickle attack gets fiber and thatch
I have a wyvern so there easy to kill lol
Anyone knows extincion alpha tree location?
try trapping one
theyre not hard to kill by mid game but they still scare me for some reason
its fun to trap
what
sadly theyre rare
You could Google it? Or watch a yt vid. Idk tho. Never heard of it before
theyre so annoying to find theyre rare
They usually around highlands aren’t they
it takes a while for one to spawn
I've searched the island like 5 times with a dino wipe and still can't find any
I think I know the answer to this question but I just need to clarify: do trodons knock you off mounts?
yup highlands are the best place for equus in general
no
Nada
thank god they dont
Micro raptors do tho
I think you mean microraptors
cant they knock you off if you have enough torpor
good
yup
tlc idea make troodons bigger
They deal torpor so it kinda evens out
yeah true
dont u have to sacrifice ur own tames to get a troodon
Tlc increase trodon damage and Argo range to 50000
tlc idea make troodons the size of a stego
Fuck no
Lol.
I don’t want one. Those bugggers are my sworn enemy
the stego tlc was much needed tbh
bru ima lose my stuff in upload
Yea
Just get baby dinos or eggs and hatch em
theoretically how well would sacrificing a unicorn be for a troodon
Idk
i will gladly do it honestly just to see a unicorn perish
I think their like the noglin
Same this is dumb
okay so its fine in every other map but in lost island and val my graphics arent loading correctly no matter what i try its so damn weird
Servers wipe on offi?
and whats up with the shadows in lost island bruh
They are broken for sure. 9 servers listed for pve
Ik
Yes
No
There are no sessions showing up at all on unofficial servers
Allready tryed it 20times and still nope
Rip
im sorry i love ark but they did the ovis so dirty in terms of spawn locations equus too
they die instantly after spawning its funny but so annoying
especially ovis theyre painfully slow
Lost island they spawn in safe areas
Depends on the map tbh
dont raptors spawn in the plains in lost island?
Safeish
Yea
Yea this is fr bs
Is it just me or are the only servers ark poc
yeah i meant like with the exception of the highlands and stuff
😂
the highlands are amazing i love that area so much
Yea PlayStation servers for unofficial is bugged I think or something
So is official I just wanna go on gen 2
my favorite creatures aside from the giga spawn in the highlands tbh
Update was dogshit
Why does everyone just play multiplayer???
Any area with large open plains should be the safest place for those imo lmao put the scary stuff in the harder areas
its weird on the island ovis only spawn in the black sands and the snow (i think?)
some ppl like it, others don't. I myself am SP gang
They spawn in the plains with maewings on li
Nvm 83%
Same. It's good for beesing nonstop
honestly ark is so much better in multiplayer imo but sp’s fun too
Eh not too bad
Is there any possible way to increase mutations?
Been breeding for about 3 hours and only got a few
i personally prefer being able to play whenever i want, and quit whenever i want. this is coming from a person who is usually inactive and basically only plays on weekends
That's why I play sp
When are they gonna fix the severe
yeah fair point
Dunno
for farming scrap metal what do y'all recommend for a wolf stats?
like how much melee with how much weight
50/50
I think
is genesis part 1 a fun map to play on? ive avoided it and only have gone on genesis part 2 honestly
so 1 goes to melee other level weight ok
Dunno
I watched blurs 100 days underwater and it seemed pretty fun
But I've only played once and I dies constantly
the biomes in genesis 1 aside from the oceanic one terrify me tbh
I apparently in a journey gathered 110 scrap from random teks I'll eventually get a Tek farm going
Which is funny because the ocean spawn is said to be hard
the equus designs in genesis part 2 are the only reason i play that map tbh theyre my fav creature
Yeesh. That's a lot of netal
really..?
Yea
I'm after done leech blood on my journey😂
the little islands in the ocean biome are anything but dangerous tho
They should work faster
also should i get extinction aberration or scorched first
Your after done leech blood?
Scorched
aberration is super fun imo
my base is kesler inlet and I'm all the way down in gloomy coast still a little bit to go
Extinction most helpful
ext is also really fun, havent tried SE yet
scorched and aberration seem fun and im torn
my phone always puts done instead of some😂
It's easy once you find some water lol
Lol
im not gonna bother with extinction i dont like it a lot idk why
Never really played it so idk what it's like
anyone can give me a guide for single player setting
Let’s go
Hang on
I stopped to smelt the metal everything gathered so I can either repair my armor or make allo saddle unsure which ATM
Plesiosaur
@silent matrix thx
ah i think ill go for se
honestly this game has problems but the soundtrack isnt one of em oml its amazing
Gareth Coker the real mvp for the music
His yt is wooferwoof
the soundtrack of ark is a total masterpiece bruh
also can we talk about the shear amount of Rex helmet skins I have in my inventory currently😂
It's his most recent ark setting one
ok ill check thx
Kinda loud tho
Lmao
11 currently and more Back at my base😂
Loud is good
Not when your parents are watching TV lmao
honestly fr
Yeesh
but dear god i hope that mfs pillows are cold i hope he lives a long good life because the musics godly
Holy- I have about 200 feces in my monkeys inv
i
does changing setting before loading a game work? or i need to start a new game ?
no it does work im pretty sure
Don't need to start a new game
ty
do trodons not kill or something? ive been knocked out by one and all its doing is running around me in circles and biting only when im about to wake up lol
theyre glitchy but ive died to one dozens of times i can assure u they do
I can repair my armor and make a few saddles sweet
Ik because I messed up my melee damage for my dinos and now I'm dealing nearly 1000 damage
yea they suck
also my graphics arent loading in right still im tryna just play li and cant idk what to do
Idk I've been killed by multiple
I've been knocked out and murdered by them😂
the moment i load up lost island the ground starts glitching and the dinos dont load in right
troodons are so annoying bruh
Lmao
like im so close to death n they wont hit me
@slim dove they sometimes only target conscious players, tamed troodons have it as an option
wtf 😒😒
I found a fairly good first base spawn in lost island but troodons made it so I couldn't go far
rip off I'm not mistaken I'm gonna be 5 away from 3 saddles😂
anyone have 5 metal I can borrow LOL
i remember in this one pvp server with a lotta beginner to mid game players where id go out at nights and kill their tames with a pack of troodons lmao
i never tamed em myself tho i avoid those little demon spawn
Rip
I didn't expect to need metal so I didn't bring my anky so now I'm hunting rocks down with a pickaxe
considering how deadly they are it shocked me how underused kentros are tbh
ok they killed me, lets go.
Lol
troodons?
Go for river rocks
I'm on Lost island btw😂 I haven't seen many
ye, took them a good min to kill
Where you at?
RN at gloomy coast
Is this update mainly for lost island
No clue where that is
Ive been spending most of my time in redwoods because I'm doing mass breeding for my monke
it's next to swamp or leads into it if I follow this stream
why are amars so mf annoying to tame bruh
Ah
its so painfully annoying the hunt mechanic thing
Get a trap
how can u get stone quick?
I think I have enough now
Lol
241 Flint later😂
Yeesh
or well some I already had tbh
Make sparkpowder lol
doedicurus
just get a doed
does the island have them?
Or get a dinopithecus and pump it's weight up
All maps have them
and some spawn north of red ob in a small patch of forest along the edge of the swamp i think?? or i might be mixing it up with ankies
Doedics spawn everywhere
red woods is dangerous
eh
Mainly in the air because of thylas
Yeah red woods and Volcanic
mountains, snowy beaches, redwoods
Just get like a direwolf or bear and your good lol
its not that bad if u watch for thylas
and microraptors arent honestly that deadly if u bring a decent combat mount
just outrun everything else ig
I hate the new monkey in lost island
Why?
or multiple mounts like I bring with me😂
i take iguanadons for early game doed tames for the infinite stam
He killed my Baby giga
Rip
understandable
Is so overpower
What should I do with all my animals feces?
so much sparkpowder I'm making😂
Lol
in long-run it's barely any however
Put them in dungbeetle to make fertilizer
Don't need fertilizer
eventually I'm lv92 and barely do guns😂
I have snow owl pellets
Lol. Guns are useful for certain things tho
Ok
ammo though constantly😂
I need more fiber apparently I didn't realize this😂
Lol
That's easy to get tho
hmm. the cycle repeats once more it seems
Lol
i have too much fibre to know what to do with :S
for the island bosses would i be better off taking theris rexes or allos
Keep it
but I didn't bring my scythe again i expected to farm leeches not fiber😂
Rex
What is it good use for? fiber?
why would you not just leave it on your hotbar? its not heavy
because idk😂
Sometimes you have too much stuff in your hotbar
besides pegos idk
oh yeah
whenever i play on the island i instantly try lvling up go for an iguanadon and tame a daedon it usually works relatively well
Lol
half the time the iguanadon survives
Should I play gen 1 or keep breeding my dinopithecus?
I'm 1 ingot over for the 3 allo saddles perfect😂
The luck
oh allos are fun
They do anything special? Never tamed one
nope, basically XXXXL raptors. pack buff, bleed, decent health and dmg
Oh
pack leader does I guess growl idk what you'd call that😂 for pack buff
So in other words just a little better than a rex
gen 1 for the giggles
allos are really really fun, especially if you have a pack leader, they have special abilities
oddly enough allos are better then raptors in every way but i still love raptors sm
raptors have horrible health tho
I mainly made the saddles for defense lol
i have a really good pack leader allo which does like 500 dmg so you should get an allo (difficulty is 0.7 btw)
what abilities
it can gnash (it bleeds the enemy) and roar (scares some dinos away)
mines difficulty 0.2 I think as default
0.7 difficulty is really good if you want overpowered dinos
My default if 1.0
I just want to figure out what and how to breed to beat the Gamma and get some tek, these crappy troughs are killing me
I also got these 3 low level as well below 10
i also added a few stuff to the config folder which increases dino level caps
allos also have really low attack cd so you can literally stunlock a dino
wait your default is different? or you changed it to that?
i have a squad
Different
of allos and i want to take it to boss fight
i think he meant 0.1
Never need to change it
i highly recommend leveling it up a lot, especially if you have a higher level cap
odd
it’s 0.1 by default for me but i changed it to 0.7
I never changed mine and it's default 0.2 I even rehit default before starting lost island
ill take it on a hunting spree
Blue stego 😂
0.2 is the default
weird
but where should i take it to
i recommend brontos and diplos, whatever is a high level, usually i find a lot of level 400+ brontos in chalk hills (valguero)
At least according to https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Server_configuration and https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Difficulty
i see
mine might have been 0.2 but i probably did 0.1 because i thought it would be hard
0.2 and 4.0 is the standard for the center and island but 0.2 and 5.0 are the new default standard for official servers
4.0?!
5.0?!?! what the hell boi
ok valguero it is
Difficulty is calculated by 2 stats, DifficultyOffset is just one of them
thats how you get 150s
can also get deidon eggs
aye how long have servers been down
you can just kill whatever is high level on your map
idk
is there any Dino that's best at leech blood gathering?
?OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0
DifficultyOffset=1.0
Difficulty Value = DifficultyOffset * (Official Difficulty - 0.5) + 0.5
Max Dino level = Difficulty Value * 30
Max dino level = 150
but im in a bad place on rag
uh ok
i dont think you can transport dinos to another map tho
live very near the volcano next to the wyverns trench
i cant?
yeah you can only save your character then download it into another map
you can
yea how do u not know
You can upload your dinos at supply depots and obelisks
how do i do it
do i just bring the dino there
yk so much about allos but didnt know u can transfer?
I don't think this is healthy😂
i’ve only been playing for a week
i like how the link just disappears
so my argy got a leech correct
how tf do u know so much about the game one week in
Ok links not allowed; Look for Ark: Survival Evolved | How To Upload And Download Dinos | Character Transfer by Noktakk on Youtube
and it's precisely on his eye😂
Bruh, I just got a ascendent hazard helmet
i also recently join like a 1-2 months ago
i’ve watched a lot of it before i even got it
ok
bro do u not watch raids, they go to every map get crystal wyverns griffins and find a very good base to settle
@celest patio check out https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Difficulty I imagine your max level dinos are like 30 right now?
idk
nope
i dont think i have a max level right now but i know that i have a bunch of dinos
Im talking about wild, not tamed
I'd bump the difficulty up to at least 4, it's gonna be really hard to level your tames with such low level spawns
i’ve seen wild dinos go up to 400+
i have my difficulty at 0.7
That doesn't make sense
and i might have messed with the config a bit
On 0.7 max level is 21
idk
Assuming he didnt up his ?OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0
i dont know what that is
Just FYI, 5 and 6 are considered "standard" difficulties. I'd try 5
i just pasted in some code into the config folder because some yt girl said if you paste it in you get a higher level cap
Oh yeah that'll do it
yeeeep
So you're probably not actually on 0.7
it said it would increase my TAMED dino level cap so i could spend some more points into skills
Check your .ini files for overrides and we can help you tweak it to what you want
i didn’t know it would increase wild dino cap
im fine right now, i’ll let you guys know if i want even higher levels
Yeah what you thought it would do doesn't exist. Post taming, you can add 88 levels
wdym it doesn’t exist
There's no setting to increase the amount you can level them up after taming
It's 88 levels
well i saw the video and she was able to level up to like 250 levels or something
really odd
OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino=<value> increases max level cap
Is there any method to prevent my pet dinosaur from killing other wild dinosaurs?
Yep, tamed max is (wild maximum * 1.5 - 1) + 88 post-tame levels+ 40 mut levels(you can technically go higher through cheesing but 40 is the intended cap)
Do you want it to only attack them if one of yours gets hit, or not fight at all
wait that’s the code i pasted in
i think
Im not sure the limitations, just tossing it out there
yeah that’s one of the code lines i pasted in
i’ll send you a pic later, im currently on my phone rn
also I named my Rex pretty much after Dexter's laboratory show😂
@celest patio @ me and we can lower your wild dino levels if you like
i’d probably want it higher later
but ok
Can do that too
Yeah it's counterintuitive but higher is easier in the long run
alright i’ll notify you when i need it
Just attack only the hostile one, Idk if there is setting to make my pet dinosaur knock them out instead of killing so I can tame those dinosaurs
Nope, can't have em knock em out. Only a few deal torpor and they'll just go until it's killed. If you want it to only defend you and your tames but never pick fights, set its aggression to neutral
I named the Rex Rexter
Aight thx
what song
Rasputin lol
Lol
Their name lol
oh i see
Dw man, it struck in my head either
can sarcos normally lunge or does it have to be a pack leader to lunge?
They always can
So, with 150 dinos and max 88 tamed levels; whats the suggestion of team comp for gamma dinopithecus king?
I haven't done it yet, but I've seen mutated Dinopithecus and a good shotty work
always can, no such things as packs in sarcos
I might be taming a lv19 stego because it's color😂
this is da wae
Hell yeah, it'll still be useful even at the low level
I saw a guy do 6 stegos and a mana, but I am not insane
it's blue how can I not
it'd work with mutated ones
you can not not
Its a YT video, fun stuff to watch for sure
I've had to stop myself from taming every tek stego I see
there's also a para because it's colors😂
I murder them for that sweet sweet electronics board
as I said
this is da wae
I do this with every tek Para I see. Honestly I feel like that's a super OP thing to have in the game, just tosses you what would otherwise be some pretty difficult resources
I made my home at the waterfalls and there are 2 pods that spawn TONS of leeches... My chitin is BROKEN so I totally understand. The stegos also spawn quite frequently around
Oh God lol
not as difficult once you have proper farming methods set up
When I say tons of leeches, I mean I fly my arg to group them and take out my machop and get 3k chitin in a single run of like maybe 1-2min
I just start and i find some spino wow
Right, that's what I mean. Instead of going through that progression you just jump straight to easy access
angler fish in a pearl rich region, and a good method of getting metal, and you'll never need electronics again
haha swamp cave go brr
and a dimorphadon and possibly a Moschops😂
it's not nearly as reliable or consistent, so idrm
I have an army of sino because of it lol
For sure, it definitely stops being particularly useful later on
I come out with 25k chitin from the swamp cave btw
thing is, I barely need electronics in early game in the first place, just a couple fridges and a generator lol
but I really need them for the ele dust, my soul balls are crafted using crystal and ele dust
Is it safe here
wdym
imma share the dimorphadon
oh general is shitting itself isn't it
In general there is 1 min slowmode
it's ark it's never safe😂
as usual
How do you like the soul mod? feels a bit broken to me but also like really nice lol
it's completely configurable, so not the most broken thing
I have SO MANY cryos
What do they do?
stackable cryopods that you can shoot out of a gun
you can change everything though, like the gun's range and shit
I wish they'd stack on Xbox because no mod to make it😂
Ah yeah. If it requires ele dust it can't be very broken, considering how easy cryos are to get anyway
true
it requires nothing but crystal by default but I didn't like that so I added some ele dust
element dust isnt hard to get though.
which is still pretty broken tbh
oh yeah, thats definitely broken lol
i see
I was thinking of adding something stupid
thanks man
idk, angler gel or something
imo should make it full element, soul balls could be a tek tier thing to make them feel less broken.
Oh is that mod what syntac uses?
Is there a reason I can’t craft a toilet? I learned the engram. Have all materials and it won’t let me craft it.
absolutely not
sarcos I love sarcos 😂
Make them crafted with Alpha Rex trophies
do you want me to never be able to breed lmao
In smithy and try fabricator
I dunno where's it's crafted
I am so stuck on breeding right now, I want you to feel my pain
it should say on the engram where to craft
It doesn't and shows in the regular crafting window
if doesn't then inventory
no, I stopped feeling that pain when I got DS, I Don't want to feel the pain again
glitched then
thats what they all say
For a second I thought you meant Nintendo DS
though I started using soul balls very soon after incubator was released so I never got to use it
Can you imagine ark on that
probably really shit
"its not that broken" they say after making their soulballs with 5 crystal and some other resource that isnt a big factor and automating the entire breeding process.
this is my first foray in to the game so doing mostly vanilla; we added S+ but are not using advanced buildings
Ark on 3ds doesn't sound very optimized
hey, mine is broken, but it's configurable to make it not broken
Wtf are soul balls
I bet it could've worked on a Gameboy😂 if it was that level of development or whatever lol
or get close enough to say hey dino game
I could make soul gun not exist, or have awful range or smth
How does it automate breeding?
auto pick up eggs and new borns
i think its a pretty odd argument to say "but its configurable" when its clear a majority of the users dont make it not broken with settings.
If you can trap 2 deinonychus male and female near a nest to farm there egg are wyvern the same?
The amount of lost young I have had... Get distracted by a metal node you want to mine with your magma and your args get fat.....
Let people play how they want lol. One of the best things about ark is that you can make completely different games out of it
well then
the majority uses it in a broken way
but it doesn't have to be broken
I know very few people who do configure the soul trap prices or levels
im not saying "dont use soulballs" in this argument, im saying that soulballs are unbalanced if you dont configure it.
I wanna get myself a magmasaur TBH and also get more storage dinos😂 bring some brontos next time LOL
It's apparently a mod Matt
Why did that get deleted? I said the same thing I said earlier
Caps lock
I made my soul terminal take angler gel, (gonna change it to bio toxin probably) and I made it level 88, same level for soul gun
I made a spawn place outside their cave and do death runs, I now have 3... really bad levels though
my soul traps are level 55 or something, the same level as cryopods, but they aren't as expensive since they're used in bulk
might as well make good use of the stacking feature
4, 18, and 20 were the ones I found... After I killed 2 level 150s that apparently didnt want to breed
I can agree with that, I believe it's meant to be configured by default but literally no one else has agreed to that so far
I mean if people wanted the result of a mod to be exactly like the game without the mod, they wouldn't download the mod. It's ok to introduce new mechanics for fun lol
changing to make it less unbalanced isn't "removing the features of the mod" tho
Right, I just mean if you want the exact same balance as before, you wouldn't use mods at all
i mean i didnt say remove all the features, i recommended making it tek tier or take a hard to get resource to make it feel less unbalanced.
So idk why imbalance is a deterrent from a mod, that's kinda the point. Change things up
yeah but if its unbalanced it could change things up in a differet way, not just in soulball case.
bio toxin 
Biotoxin would be a cool idea there
I'm thinking of making soul balls take anglergel and soul terminal take bio toxin
Ok successfully made the toilet. Successfully relieved self.
maybe absorbant substrate somewhere too
idk bio toxin doesnt seem that hard to get.
It's hard to get enormous quantities
absorbant substrate is a good idea.
it's not hard to get, just doesn't have that many other uses so it gives incentive to go and fucking get some
Maewing breaks collecting biotoxen completely
Because the number of cnidaria is limited
you know, sine I Never use darts
How?
they sure are limited when you arent looking for them but just go to the ocean without looking for them.
gather multiplier and huge range on belly flop. You literally rake it in
Lmao good point, forgot the ark sadism factor
like, go mosa tamin and by the end of 20 minutes you'll get destroyed by 592 cnidarias.
They don’t get stunlocked and die?
lol fair enough
while soul terminal being tek tier is balanced, soul balls themselves are just better cryopods so I Don't think those should be tek tier
soul gun could also be tek tier
i can agree with just the balls not being tek tier.
If you're looking to change it maybe just take the original cryopod recipe and add one decently rare material to account for them just being better cryopods
I don't make them tek tier because I'm too used to using them now :P
but they arent just better cryopods.
Damn Reapers are so overpowered. This is bullshit
You get it from a red mushroom, never been stunned doing it
they were talking about ab mushrooms lol, not cnidaria
Ahh
without soul terminals or soul guns, they are
What do the terminals do?
how do you even find enough red mushrooms, the ones that hallucinate you arent that commonl
automate everything
there's like 1 or 2 per patch, isn't there
idk.
Do you swim really fast in gen 1 waters?
its a boost i believe but not that fast.
collection of fert eggs, unfert eggs, poop, beetle conversion, achatina paste, and anything else passively generated not including gachas
Ah yeah that's definitely a lot
So what’s up with PlayStation?
Only thing wrong with the toilet (and I don't know if it's just me) but it says I got 2 fertilizers but only 1 in my inventory. Is that just me?
I only use the fert egg collection
no, i get that too.
and newborn auto trapping too ig
wow oneshotted with 500 health from a reaper yeah that makes sense
So if the automation comes from the terminals and shooting comes from the gun, the only difference between the soul ball item on its own and a cryopod is that its stackable?
dont they also cost just crystal and made in your inventory?
and that it shows way more information, and is stackable
We're putting the cost aside here, that's what he's trying to figure out
whats he trying to figure out?
by default they're also level 1
whats level 0????
why I say this
a typo????????
oh.
hello, toby
bobster
Hi bobster
Ah ok. So if you made them like level 65, and added something to the cryopod cost, I think you'd be pretty close to a fair price. It sounds like the terminal is what makes them OP, so it should be like the most expensive thing in the game, but the balls on their own don't sound particularly OP beyond the level of cryopods
i agree.
indeed
this is the problem
the terminal and gun could be locked behind any boss like the tek rep, if thats even possible but the balls can just be adjusted to a higher level and cost some other resource.
if you don't do it before you start using the mod, then you're never doing it
it's not possible, but you can make it level 110 or something that you only get after ascension
I think that would make sense for the terminal
eh, chibi isn't really cheese
Maybe gun at 85
it'd take a lot of effort to get chibi to level 5 lol
i only said it for alliteration
fair enough
chibi cheese?
Like use a chibi to gain those extra 5 levels, and circumvent the intended boss requirement
Ah, mines level 3, not too hard lol
why cant i pick up s+ structures
wasnt aware they went above 5
the config to pick up structures is in vanilla
how
they don't
AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=True put this in GUS.ini under server settings
Best ini change in this game I ever made
it's so handy lol
they dont end at 6?
wait, right, level 1 is 0 points
since level 1 is done for you, just without the extra level you get yourself.
the ONLY reason I needed it was there is a sweet plateau near my waterfall that I cleared out, but it it is at a grade and after laying 4 foundations you have to use pillars. I wasted SO MANY foundations before I enabled it lol
its like no xp to get to level 2 but the xp curve from 2 and 3 is insane.
I hear people level them in purple OSD's and shit
just take an ice titan and left click a lot
i kill whatever alphas i find but im always like "oh cool an alpha, im going to get the xp" but not "oh cool an alpha i better equip my chibi"
"just take an ice titan" lol
i forget to put the chibi on, goodbye xp.
mini HLNA should count as a chibi
I always have her on, and you can put her on with a shield and shit
you could just ramp down the difficulty of a server and wreck low level alphas...
okay but tek shoulder cannon,
higher level alphas give more xp
yeah but low level alphas will also drop low level xp.
no point in ramping down difficulty
ram up the difficulty and pray you find a level 1500 alpha rex and secure the kill.
I guess it depends how bad the spike at level 3 is
lmao
going above 600 is said to be not a very good idea
the spike isnt that bad from 2 to 3 but overall the xp you need to get to 6 is insane.
basically
50 thousand trillion billion
yeah only because im going to get an absolutely monstrous amount of xp.
hai bobster
hello, sandwich
i decided to take a short break of aberration and tried out a bit of ext
i got an enforcer and a gasbags, which is, next to gliding and climbing picks, some of the most fun i've had in ARK
p-please i haven't even gotten a base yet!
no, gacha or nuthin'
any maps you suggest? i have everything i want to play a cannon map
go craft some cannons first
scorched earth.
but, all of them
aberration is a really unique map that i like a lot
ext is also very fun so far
they're all good
Servers back?
i hate gen
ever played on it?
bog is NOT easy
havent tried gen yet because didnt buy it
so.... you hate the map because spawn locations lie?
its meant to be a challenging map, ocean is easy though.
gen has no mercy
being hard is a GOOD thing most of the time
thats what makes it fun.
i didnt buy it because i pretty much knew my PC wouldnt be able to handle it
same with aberrtion tbh
not when you go for a swim trying to get a rock and die.
i dont find aberration challenging tbh.
welp time to grind for greenhouse structures and find out where the heck they spawn
it's challenging when you don't know what you're doing
you can use plant Y traps too
i did a challenge on SE and ab and i could barely tell i was even doing one in ab.
first map i got was ex
AB and SE are a bit similar in early game: get massacered by raptors and othe nasties till you gte lucky and set up a base before dying again
true, but thats the case for every map except gen 2.
Noo
really? i found early game AB super challenging
The mute mee
nah, some maps are more unforgiving to unknowing players
😂😂
gen 2 ez
It is
where servers go on ps4?
i dont recommend starting ARK on AB 🤣
they are all gone im so confused?
early game ab is difficult, but the difficulty goes away too fast in mid game in my opinion.
5x raising 2x hexagons
3.5x breeding 5x harvesting
And 5x imprint @heavy cedar

imagine spamming
AAAAAAAAAAAAA scorpion
one of the main reasons i found SE a lot harder than ab was simply microraptors.
5x raising 2x hexagons
3.5x breeding 5x harvesting
And 5x imprint @heavy cedar
and thinking that someone will care
plant tounge
does anyone know why all servers are down on playstation????
could you not
nope, but they should be working on fixing it right now
aberration basically has no dismounters that can consistently dismount you, so like.
Come on lets get that x5😂
ahem raptors, ravagers
how long u think?
since when did ravagers dismount.
ravagers don't dismount but they still destroy
the scorpions are stalking me what do i do
massacre them
Abberation is the source of the edgy lanky crabs, I'd call that a challenge
Dug up the game.ini file for the first time to prevent them from spawning in SE
and i mean consistently, microraptors have the speed to instantly make you go into alert mode but raptors arent the same imo.
5x raising 2x hexagons
3.5x breeding 5x harvesting
And 5x imprint @heavy cedar
Yo so was the patch notes in #735188572688089229 addressing the messed up mesh collision thing
i have a stone pic
ab and se are kinda similar in early game, in more ways than i thought
AAAA DRUGS
could you fuck off already
Oh hey bobster
hard terrain, raptors n' other nasties, no flyers for the most part
shut up
Yo can anyone hep clear that up for me
i have noglin chibi
idk, I don't play on console
Na
Ah okay thank you tho
@long flicker you play solo or teamed up?
singleplayer
yeah but mid game.
5x raising 2x hexagons
3.5x breeding 5x harvesting
And 5x imprint @heavy cedar
y'know they don't get pinned right?
If you get a answer by any chance you mind pinging me about it? @long flicker
My first go at Abberation was probably the shortest life I've ever managed
Got tricked into spawning in the "Easiest" area and got mauled by raptors before I'd even fully processed where I was
Also why does the sandwich guy keep spamming that
thats portal for you.
me? i didnt spam nothing
F😂😂
same here
Oh shit sorry my bad i meant little ninja man
Meanwhile SE
Never have I felt so hopeless in a survival game before lol
It has such a great blend of hopeless survival with murderous pokemon
what.
Just aimlessly wandering around trying to find something as the sun itself puts a timer on my life
i think im gonna try SE, sometime
dont forget going from overheating and then freezing in any water, and then getting jumped by a kapro 2 seconds later.
In particular I was in desperate need of a rock
Cuz I hadn't figured out the sand/rock pickups yet and couldn't find any normal rocks to make a pick with
@long flicker so, what are enforcers good for? i made a lvl 79 one called Xenon and i've been using him to pick off low level corrupted dinos
The desert biom of lost island is bad enough, got jumped by 4 titana boa, 3 scorps, and 2 mantis outa nowhere
good for travel, can carry a lot
weak as shit
transport.
An entire map of that shit will end me
i haven't even seen lost island, i got bored too fast.
Really? Im pretty hooked on it
Things are surprisingly tame in the desert, I've found
Most I've had to worry about was saber cats and the occasional warthog thing
yeah, im planning on doing a metal run with him. ive been using the 4x corrupt creature dmg to farm a handful of nodules, but im avoiding anything high level
i played on it once but it felt like the island so i just went back to the usual.
was too lazy to transfer any gear to tame the new dinos either.
mini healna go brrrr
Once you get past the hurdle of finding some water and then play relatively passively
First tool I ended up crafting on that run was a club cuz it was the only one that didn't require stone/flint lol
I have a pretty great managarmr so travel and escaping fights is pretty trivial now
microraptors though.
you go from exploring a mountain for a dino to exploring a mountain for your probably dead dino because you got stunned near 3 carnos.
anyone who can tell me how to properly stack mutations so my super raptor dosent become a super craptor?
watch syntacs mutation video
fr one knocked me off my enforcer while fighting a raptor pack
okay so basically.
im listening
you take a bunch of unmutated females, breed it all with a single male then when you get, say a melee mutation then you raise it and replace the old male, if you get a mutated female then breed it with an unmutated male so you get a mutated male, and replace the old male again.
thats exacly what i did minus the replacing the male and or female part
if you want to mutate several stats, like hp, then you make another male with unmutated females and do the same process again, dont combine the hp and melee mutations until the end.
I feel like there's something to be said here
I'm not gonna be the one to say it but
oof. im not doing muts anytime soon. doesnt sound fun
soooo basically i wanna mutate several stats and just to dip my toe in the water im doing weight first as its not the most important raptor stat
i have 3 males and 3 females with weight muts all from the same father
the females cant be mutated otherwise it messes everything up.
The most taming I ever did was trying to maintain an army of scorpions to defend my dung beetles while I was based in a cave
It seemed like no matter how many I gathered tho, the swarms of enemy titanboas and those armor-killing centipede things would leave me with next to nothing every single time I left to do something
why would you build in the dangerous parts of caves
looks cool.
"love the view"
as he sits on the respawn menu.
or as he is getting eaten alive by swarms of araneo
Easy access to more advanced materials, defensible, day/night, weather and most importantly those damn birds stealing my stuff become a non-issue
i have a mountain of raptors with muts. but still i think im just gonna take your advice, wipe most of the raptors, restart and see if i end up stuck again
keeping the color muts tho
you could build in the mouth of the cave so there are no creatures, or in calm areas of the cave
if you end up with a raptor that has, say, 4 mutations but the ancestry line says it has more then you messed something up too.
yep, I've almost done it while breeding hte perfect pair once
only when youre combining the final products of each stat is when its okay for the game to say you have like 3000 mutations in the ancestry line when you actually have like 40.
Honestly the area I chose was relatively calm
You know that cave with the Hunter artifact or whatever in the south? I chose that one, specifically focusing my presence in the big open room with the two pools of water and raised flat area
There were still a couple places baddies could spawn tho so had to watch for that
getting late rn so ill have to struggle to mutate raptors tomorrow
i would've built in the small room you get RIGHT before you decend into the actual cave witht the dangers
the problem is that it is a small room.
you want as much cave space as possible to hold as many dinos and stuff.
big enough for a mortar and pestle, smithy, a couple forges, boxes
Managed to shove an entire lighthouse from this one mod into the room I picked lol
yeah but can you fit the industrial tier stuff.
I love how shit still takes hours after 6 years of development and me having 10k hours in this shit
ok.
Can someone tell me where to join popular modded pvp ark servers??
hey wanna play on my server just me and u unleast you have frinde that wauld wanna join it has main mods such as primal fear and giai so if you wanna join dm me
Is there like a website where you can see all modded ark servers?
-___-
so y'all recall I was talking about a para I tamed Because it's colors right?
tbh idek
Proud to admit to being a keepInventory scrub
I survive off a mod I have that allows for that
you can breed a mutated female with an unmutated male and fix it
yes thats what i said previously.
only a few lines before.
the mushrooms in aberration?
I had a pego steal the Paras cryopod minute ago😂 good thing everything was on neutral I got the pod back but SERIOUSLY why steal my cryopod that's got a dino in it
what? narcoberries? LSD mushrooms? what are u talking about
shoorms that get you high
I barely have a base
and they're pretty recognizable
moschops that's how
they are red pointy mushrooms
saber died to Alpha carno 😭
so I reverted one of these days the games gonna punish me for exiting when I lose Dino's
oof
they've taken down an Alpha carno before I think this one was just a higher level lol
also got 3 allos 1 Rex 1 wolf and 1 argy
my attack force currently
Can I teleport to beds on gen 1
Is anyone playing ark right now on PlayStation?
me
When are unofficial servers going up
Hi?
hi
So yeah I’m new at ark and I never done online
try singleplayer first in my opinion
yes, and you basically have to dedicate your entire life to ARK
The fatal flaw I made in my youth. Choosing to play official servers because my big ego made me feel like playing on official meant some stamp of approval
a lot of players seem to think playing official pvp is superior, even claiming its the only way to play ark
I've seen that
Ok, also I’m trying to get the dlcs in ps4 do I get the season pass?
Official pve.
ultimate surivior bundle i think its called
Because back then I was all hot headed making bold claims like "if you havent done it on official you havent really done it"
Hmmm I see the bundle but since I have the hard disc already for original ark, I should start with season pass. I don’t wanna waste my saving money for a gaming laptop or pc
Is that ok? @paper nimbus
season pass only gives you 3 of the 5 paid DLCs
do all Alphas give the same Chibi XP? and if so how much per?
trying to figure out how many till I level up this Chibi🤔
I’m guessing the other two are genesis 1 and 2
in terms of gathering natural polymer are higher power club better or are primitive clubs the best
if I recall yes clubs be best I'd assume better tier gives more
what about swords
I believe clubs were from my last look on dododex I believe clubs was best
I can check the app hang on
Which ones will they give?
both 4.9 stars
the season does all but Genesis you need genesis pass or whatever for those 2
Ok I’ll just get season for now and then genesis for the next two weeks
I'm also thinning the herd of brontos once again😂
I swear the last island has way to many brontos
Regular season pass gives scorched, ab and ext
Genesis season pass gives gen 1 and 2
Ultimate survivor gives all
Got it thank you, wait what about the others like ragnarok
Those are all free
Well, they technically do cost something
About 200 gigs of storage 
Idk how much storage they actually take up
But its a lot, especially crystal isles
Wtf there is only 2 servers on official ragnarok
doees non dedicated have the singleplyer setting on
non dedicated is single made multiplayer basically
What's y'all's favorite wyvern egg flyer?
Worded weird. But you guys know what I mean
wyvern :)
I figured it out I found another one and pressed Y this time currently at 10%
this boi WILL receive an ascendant saddle as a reward for being tamed😂
almost Messed it up lol
You can find carrots in the ground near the broken structures in highlands on ragnarok to tame the nearby equus with, saves a ton of time compared to using berries
I'm on Lost island though
I just never got around to farming😂
Ahh never mind can’t really transfer them over there yet
besides I don't really care about effectiveness
but I would care for speediness😂
it really wants to go so far away from my Dino's doesn't it
Harvesting any ground plant will give Rockcarrot seeds eventually on lost island I believe
again
I just never got around to farming
I was slowly crafting greenhouse stuff but have up
gave
I want multiple plots narcos stims carrots potatoes and I forget the others the non berries
almost halfway through it 40%i pause to type so
On gen 1 can I teleport from biome to biome in beds?
dunno probably not imma assume
Hi
welcome to pain😂
atleast for me it's pain of taming an equus
I'm taming the horse without carrots I'm doing mejo berries😂
Ohhhh
Don’t see why not
The pain
I mean like using hlna to teleport back to base
and he keeps threatening to fall off this cliff😂
and I doubt I can still tame it in water
I try to tame a horse but I keep getting knocked down
That's the think I get on it it push me of after 1sec
for pc it's e
technically yes but you lose stuff in your inventory. It's better to use a teleporter or HLNA.
bottom right says when to feed it basically
But can I use hlna to teleport to bases or do I need to spawn away from my base using it and risk getting killed
probably risk idk I didn't last on it
HLNA will spawn you in random locations depending on North, Northeast, East, etc that you choose. Teleporters are best for teleporting base to base.
Yo who in rag pvp serv
Oh ok I can get some teleporters
Is it possible to live in the volcano on Genesis?
Have the servers even started to come back up yet?
running low on mejos 😂
Not at all for me
Damn
Dam ark
Finally stumbled across a body of water that didn't have a Karkinos security force
Thank god for the eco's mod series, made setting up a base a lot quicker with its single-piece buildings
yep it's definitely testing my nerves😂
I hate this horse 80 something and runs to it and gets sick on rock gee thanks for nothing
for reset to 0 so I left it to fend for itself I have to get back to my dinos
lmfao my mother turned off the wi-fi via phone app so i just reset the wifi (im 17)
use carrots next time
Minor inconvonecee that make you wanna 
if I didn't accidentally get off I would've had it sooner but still it spawned that carno
i lost an hour of progress :') crashed when wifi was off
lost a sword , pike , crossbow and hide armour
can't I just cage a horse and it still work the same? or needs to be fully open grounds
You can cage it if you can
good next time I'm bringing it to my base or nearby with a building setup for it
wait gachas aren't on lost island😂 so I wasted points to learn and make the saddle
then again I was crafting anything at the time for XP
I didn't throw enough food on my basilo baby before I left apparently😂 I knew I forgot something lol
I didn't really need a 3rd anyways
anything that can out fly a wyvern without points into speed? or do I just try an oviraptor I'm already making plans to steal an egg apparently😂
We use a snow owl cause of the gliding affect ducking into trees and stuff
never owned one before
