glass jar

[olive egret]

to the dinos im riding? @placid sundial

[placid sundial]

5% more than killing normally by default

[olive egret]

interesting

[quartz kraken]

then canteen and I think also Tek canteen

[placid sundial]

Oh I don't think so no

Maybe if someone else destroyed them while you were riding?

[olive egret]

cause im level capped due to soul terminal killing of dinos, for some reason it gives massive exp

[quartz kraken]

just use lystros idk

[placid sundial]

You could see if fire/lightning wyvern breath + friendly fire off lets you kill them but that assumes you want to level a wyv so

[quartz kraken]

pet em all ALL the lystros lol

[placid sundial]

Turning on pvp is probably the best option then

[olive egret]

i tried that, doesnt work cause unclaimed counts as a different tribe, so friendly fire didnt work

[placid sundial]

right

[olive egret]

damn. is it hard to turn on pvp for ark server manager servers? like it wont break anything right

[placid sundial]

it's a bool in the ini

[olive egret]

gamesettings.ini?

[feral kernel]

can i somehow fast forward night in sp? whole night i have to sit in my house cause i don't have any light source that is better than primitive torch

[placid sundial]

Yep, under [ServerSettings]

[olive egret]

PVE=False equals pvp?

[placid sundial]

Yep

[olive egret]

weird way of coding that lol

[pliant garnet]

i need someone to play pvp with

[quartz kraken]

whelp there went that male wolfs taking efficiency😂

[placid sundial]

Like that's how you turn on pvp

[olive egret]

@feral kernel you dont wanna do that, night is where the danger is lol

[molten otter]

first red drop boys lets go

[placid sundial]

Get a role at #role-assignment then you can check the recruitment channels for your platform

[olive egret]

cool, ill do that when i get back

[quartz kraken]

I sent my Dino's after a random para and it ran to the wolf LoL and the thyla might've bit the Wolf

[molten otter]

dang no mek

[quartz kraken]

is there a recommended breeding setup y'all would recommend for just breeding wolves lol

I want more pretties😂

[olive egret]

combine the best stats you want, then make sure to get a bunch of females with the combined stats and one male with the combined stats

[quartz kraken]

I meant like for Tek Paras have Eggs drop and such

do I have the babies drop would y'all recommend that what😂

now this Wolf pops back up after I tame 2 others it shows up again

do micros eat keratin?

[olive egret]

@placid sundial when transferring dino souls across cluster, am i uploading them like items or keeping them in my inventory?

[placid sundial]

If you're clustered, i think either works, though i dont play on clusters enough to know for sure
If youre unclustered data will be wiped and you have to export the recovery file to transfer them

[quartz kraken]

I'm thinking of the archaeopteryx oops😂

[azure minnow]

Isn't there something like a pokeball? Oh wait, yes, there is. I used it regularly to house my weaker dinos when I needed to keep them safe

[quartz kraken]

I'm trying to rush on taming a PRETTY microraptor tbf

[placid sundial]

archa are only chitin i think

[olive egret]

sinomacrops is chitin

[quartz kraken]

ye Sino be PAIN

[buoyant surge]

archaeopteryx can eat chitin as well

it's their base taming food, but they can also eat kibble

you can put Sino's in cages

they're super easy to tame

[agile scroll]

Is it true that if I go into Caves while on a scorpion that the spiders and stuff won't attack me?

[placid sundial]

I feel like spiders probably aggro scorps

[placid sundial]

How do you get them in the cages?

And what trap do you use?

[buoyant surge]

No trap

just a wooden cage

[placid sundial]

Ohh

[buoyant surge]

Get one to come to you, feed it. Then before it has a chance to fly away stick a cage down on top of it, then when the cage is about to time out pick it back up. By then the sino will be ready to eat again and fly right to you

[placid sundial]

How do you get them in there, then?

Thanks

[buoyant surge]

you don't have to lead it into the cage lol, you can literally put it down right on top of it

[quartz kraken]

I sent the micro in the screenshots isn't she pretty

[placid sundial]

I pretty much never trap tamed (nor used cages) before lol so

[buoyant surge]

But they can't be in the cage when you feed them, so you have to feed it. put the cage on top of it. Then after like 20-25 seconds you pick the cage back up then rinse and repeat

unrelated but I killed an alpha leed lol. and gave the hat to my sino. Just posted a pic

[placid sundial]

Where's the pic?

[quartz kraken]

where'd you post it

[buoyant surge]

I took it down because I posted it in the screenshot entries in giveaways lol

[quartz kraken]

😂

[buoyant surge]

I don't know where to post pictures in this server

[placid sundial]

Oh lol

#fanart-and-screenshots

[buoyant surge]

facts, Megaladons kill Leeds super easy thanks to the bleed

[placid sundial]

anything with bleed kills anything super easily thanks to the bleed

[buoyant surge]

it was actually super helpful because it got my fresh tamed shark 19 levels.. I only got like 5 levels but I mean hey, five levels is five levels

gotta get to them high 80s for the egg incubator

[tribal venture]

dose the DestoryWildDinos only kill all the wilds? ark sometimes is a bit weird sometimes

[buoyant surge]

yes, make sure it's wild dinos though

Destroydinos kills all dinos including your own

[tribal venture]

ok thanks

[buoyant surge]

dinos wipes are needed to keep things in check sometimes

[misty turtle]

When spawn go wrong

[buoyant surge]

like when something dies and instead of spawning a new what ever you killed it spawns a fish instead lol

[misty turtle]

Or giant pack of hundres

[placid sundial]

You mean DestroyTribeDinos? ive never heard of just 'destroydinos' nor does the wiki list it

[misty turtle]

Of creatures

Stuck together

[placid sundial]

If things are getting that bad sounds like you have some other spawn issue going on

It's good to do dinowipes regularly though yeah

[buoyant surge]

welp I tested positive for covid today.. guess I get to play ark for a week lol

[misty turtle]

Yeah that sometime happen

[placid sundial]

Ah, DestroyAllEnemies fits the description

Rip man that sucks

[buoyant surge]

maybe it's time to get back on nitrado and host my sp server again lol

[placid sundial]

What creatures?

[buoyant surge]

On Lost Island it was happening with Stegos a lot

[placid sundial]

What map, and what sort of mods do you use?

Yeah I heard LI has obscene amounts of stegos (never saw that many myself though)\

[buoyant surge]

A couple years ago Direwolves were spawning in hordes for awhile

[misty turtle]

Nah it from long time ago when i still play unoff

[placid sundial]

Ah

[buoyant surge]

on the island

[misty turtle]

It happen

No one can go there

[placid sundial]

There's been a couple occasions where spawns go fucking wild with FE

[misty turtle]

If go there you get crash

[placid sundial]

Like valg's Raptorpocalypses

[misty turtle]

Hmm

Interesting

[placid sundial]

The combination of imo the two most volatile components in spawns

[misty turtle]

I used to see a pack of 10 raptor and 5 deino

They coop

[placid sundial]

In the raptorpocalypses you'd end up with no deinons (after all the existing ones were wiped)

Cuz all the deinons got turned into raptors

Then the spawner would see there's no deinons, so it'd try spawn some deinons.. which got turned into deinons

And so on to ludicrous amounts

[misty turtle]

Ark bug

It never end

[buoyant surge]

Hmm do I wanna play ark though

playing ark alone is so boring lol

[silent matrix]

Is 55 Tranq arrows enough for a level 85 triceratops

[silent halo]

Should be enough!

[olive egret]

so have male thyla with 80/20 on both parents sides, to fix, i breed it with an unmutated dino right?

[silent halo]

Clean dino, female ideally. Yes

[lean sentinel]

yep hit the body not face

[olive egret]

cool, glad its salvageable, dont think i combined all of the stats the correct way to avoid that

@silent matrix definitely avoid the face, damn thing is annoying

[silent matrix]

I died

There was like 5 of them chasing me

[gritty hedge]

What's everyone's favourite dino

[lean sentinel]

dodo

[silent matrix]

Mangamar however u spell it

[gritty hedge]

The ice things?

[silent matrix]

Yes

[gritty hedge]

Yuh

[silent matrix]

Shadowmanes are so cool

[gritty hedge]

True

I like magmasaurs

And bloodstalkers

[silent matrix]

Yeah those look sick

Gigas are cool too can you get them on crystal isles

?

[gritty hedge]

Not sure

[silent matrix]

How do I level up fast

[misty turtle]

Yes

[gritty hedge]

Note run

[silent matrix]

Besides note run bc I did that already

[misty turtle]

You can get gigan in Crystal isle

[gritty hedge]

Erm

Cave runs

[silent matrix]

How do u do that

[misty turtle]

Usually you can find 1 in desert

[misty turtle]

Just run to the note it get exp buff

Cave run is just kill high level creatures in there

[silent matrix]

Ohhh

[misty turtle]

If you know someone have some left over baby gigan

You can kill them for xp

They gave the same amount of xp wild giga

[silent matrix]

Dangg

Alright

[grave needle]

How do I do the maewing super jump thing

[storm scroll]

Hold jump

Wyverns take 360 food per hour to raise once they are fully starving how long do they take to die

[misty turtle]

With no render 6% i think

[silent matrix]

Lost island rex spawns are fcked, someone found a 750 on a lvl 300 server

[misty turtle]

Setting get fuck

[ionic patio]

aaaaaaa

[grave needle]

How far will a startled maewing go? I accidentally scared off a 180 and can't find it now

[misty turtle]

Not that far just follow the direction it went.

You will found it again walking around

[silent matrix]

Oc stands for oceania im assuming right?

[misty turtle]

Yes

[silent matrix]

fair enough

its just i dont know if i wanna play on a actual server yet

I mean i genuinely started playing this yesterday even knowing i've had the game for so long

[misty turtle]

Well play in sever meaning you can play with other make some friends

[silent matrix]

that is true

And they'd probably help me learn to tame stuff to

and progress

my fav animal is raps bc they fast and they dangerous

[misty turtle]

Tips and trick

Yeah

[silent matrix]

eh

tips and tricks is made by so many different ppl but half of them are stupidly wrong

[grave needle]

Can someone explain maewing traps to me? I used the standard argy trap method and its body always obstructs the gates from being close enough

[storm scroll]

You can net them right,

[grave needle]

Yes

[storm scroll]

There you go I guess if you have gen to unlock it

[grave needle]

Thats how I was able to place the gates in time, but they can't get close enough

[misty turtle]

Not those one i know

[storm scroll]

I was provided with eggs I ain’t even used lost island yet but I’d assume netting then obstructing with the argy trap

[misty turtle]

Never use argy trap

For maewing

[silent matrix]

alr well ima go push my luck on a online server and try and not get bashed by a bat then shovedin a cage

take care mates have a good one broskis

[misty turtle]

Go yt check captain fat dog maewing trap

Or if you have good weapon to knock them just net it

[misty turtle]

Good luck

[storm scroll]

It’s still transfer locked right?

[misty turtle]

Yeah in official

[storm scroll]

Damn

[misty turtle]

You can tame them in Gen2 those

[grave needle]

Yeah I'm not interested in the rare flower method, there's a giga where they spawn

[misty turtle]

That the original map

[grave needle]

I've heard billboards work, is that true

[misty turtle]

Hmm never saw a gigan in high land lost island

I never check it only use billboard for gigan taming

[ashen magnet]

Just use billboards lol

[ashen magnet]

Yep. Put one behind it’s head when it stops moving (may be tricky at first), then put a couple more up after it gets stuck (because when you hit it it can escape w one billboard).

[grave needle]

Alright, thanks!

[misty turtle]

May try that method next time

[silent matrix]

Best wood farmer ?

[signal gull]

Mammoth or chainsaw I think.

[silent matrix]

What about easier times

Tames

[grave needle]

Castoroides is great, it's what I use

[signal gull]

Theri or casteroides.

[misty turtle]

Theri is good for wood

Thorny dragon good too

Thorny for early and mid

Therizi is for late

You can go to swamp with 1 raft 1 therizi and farm ton of wood other tamed could work too

[silent matrix]

Okay

[sinful parcel]

How do I get extinction on PS4? It won’t let me get from the PlayStation store

[livid coyote]

You need to get it from the bundle

Season pass

Head to #735196255483068497 @sleek sage

Good luck

[sleek sage]

oh sorry didnt see the channel

[safe mist]

Anyone know a website on how to increase engrams points on a dedicated server for steam ark?

[rich mango]

Google.com

[shell blade]

not a website per se but there should be a way to increase it, which would require you go to the servers ini files and manually override it I believe

[safe mist]

Yea I need the ini lines to increase it

[shell blade]

then I recommend google

[safe mist]

Tried it

[silent matrix]

If you want to increase the amount of points you ay as well just get the auto engrams mod

[placid sundial]

It's very simple code. you can just copy-paste OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints= a bunch of times

[safe mist]

Have it but they aren't unlocking enough due to engram poin8

[safe mist]

How do I calculate the amount I need

[placid sundial]

Auto engrams mod doesn't care how many points you have

[silent matrix]

That made 0 sense. Auto engrams unlocks everything as soon as you get the level

[placid sundial]

Don't need to bother

[placid sundial]

Literally paste like 300 lines of the same amount and you'll be fine

[silent matrix]

Spam ctrl V and that'll be easy

[safe mist]

Ok

[gritty hedge]

Anyone know q good pve youtuber

[weary jay]

Syntac seems like the biggest one

Is there any way to make unconscious dinos drain their food faster?

[lethal shoal]

alright guys, found a level 140 direwolf

all i had to do was turn the difficulty to 10 lol

fully tamed he is 209

wdym

[olive egret]

difficulty 10? isnt difficulty 1 defaulted to 150 lol

[grave needle]

Nvm I'm tired 😂

[lethal shoal]

i dont think so

[silent matrix]

Depends on the map

[grave needle]

150 is difficulty 5

[silent matrix]

If on the island difficulty 1 is max 120 but you can change that with settings

If on every other map diff 1 is 150

[olive egret]

weird, 150 is difficulty 1 for Ark Server Manager

[lethal shoal]

should i use my direwolf or deinonychus for caves?

[olive egret]

Neither

[silent matrix]

ASM doesn't work the same as normal ark settings tho

[olive egret]

Sabertooth is better than both since theyll need pack bonus to really shine

yeah, that makes sense @silent matrix

[shell blade]

Baryonyx is superior to Sabertooths

[silent matrix]

Like with my ASM breeding settings I have one of them set to 700 just to have 15 mins maturation rate. If it was normal ARK that would only be at 6

[shell blade]

Kapros might be worthwhile as well

[olive egret]

Thylas are awesome for caves too, Saber is superior to Bary cause it gets more hide/chitin and is easier to get into smaller spaces

unless you like cryopodding all of the time

[shell blade]

but swimming

[lethal shoal]

i think i only went to tame a wolf was for the hidden explorer notes i cant find lol

[olive egret]

swimming yeah, Bary shines in water caves

[shell blade]

I adore barys

[olive egret]

theyre awesome

[lethal shoal]

guys, this direwolfs base melee stat is fuckin insane

i dont even have to upgrade it

[silent matrix]

What is it?

[lethal shoal]

594%

[silent matrix]

That's very boosted to be a base stat

[lethal shoal]

well, he did gain 69 levels

[white kestrel]

hi, are the reproduction times listed on the Ark wiki in real time? (new to ark and tryin to setup a server for a grp of friends)

[silent matrix]

A 209 direwolf shouldn't get 69 levels like that. Like I reckon 40 to 45 at most

[placid sundial]

Difficulty 1- Override 5. 2 different settings affect the max level

[placid sundial]

You might have the singleplayer settings option on

[silent matrix]

There is no singleplayer setting tickbox on ASM

[lethal shoal]

no, he was 140 when i knocked him, he was level 209 when i tamed him

[placid sundial]

No idea how its represented in asm but the option may be on regardless

[silent matrix]

Yeah I get that and still should not have anywhere above 45 base levels into a stat

[lethal shoal]

well i dont know how he got this stat

to be this incredibly high

not any of my settings

[placid sundial]

The mat rates on official are yeah, on each creature's page

[olive egret]

so when stealing rock drake eggs, do they climb the cliffs to come after you and are they faster than megalania lol

[placid sundial]

if it seems absurdly high it's more likely you have a stat boosted accidentally (or singleplayer settings on) than that it got an insane amount of levels into the stat

[placid sundial]

They try and yes

[white kestrel]

ok thx! trying to play with settings to decrease it cus me and my grp of friends only can probably play ark for like 24h max a week

[olive egret]

sweet, i got egg stealing mounts

[placid sundial]

Yeah official rates are fucking absurd. 10 days for a giga...

[olive egret]

i wanna climb down the roof of the zone and run back up lmao

[white kestrel]

that'd take 10 weeks for us

[misty turtle]

It official

[olive egret]

cause megalania base dmg is garbage, i wont be able to fight them off

[misty turtle]

What you expect XD

[lethal shoal]

i can look at the rates, but i didnt mess with anything

[olive egret]

ahhh the official rates, 14hrs to berry tame a bronto back in the day lol

[placid sundial]

better to go with some spinos or megalos tbh

[placid sundial]

Singleplayer?

[grave needle]

So I just did transfers for the first time today, and ever since, there's a glowing green circle around my base. Anybody know what that's about?

[placid sundial]

Feed trough probab;y

[misty turtle]

We waitting for event to raise gigan those

[lethal shoal]

yeah single player

[placid sundial]

Then the sp settings tickbox is probably on. it boosts stats massively

[olive egret]

never done Ab, but bringing some bred megalanias with me cause i think theyre awesome, watching Syntac videos on ab and megalos look nuts

[lethal shoal]

let me look

[placid sundial]

What it affects^

[placid sundial]

They'll also get eaten by the drakes

Drakes are fast asf climbing when their ai works

[olive egret]

@placid sundial idk if you answered earlier, but if i switch my server to pvp so i can kill unclaimed babies for exp, that wont bork the server or anything right?

[misty turtle]

Ab the only map Megalo have use the most

[lethal shoal]

so i found it, ark automatically has it checked

[placid sundial]

Nope

[lethal shoal]

i could disable it because that seems broken

[olive egret]

oh i know theyll be eaten by drakes, hence why im planning on stealth missions in and climbing my way out with them lol

[placid sundial]

It is, but you'll need to boost other rates to compensate

You can't stealth it

[olive egret]

not true stealth i know, but i mean like stealth in like Bond, you know, from the roof

[placid sundial]

Soon as you pick up an egg every drake within a fuckoff big radius will be pissed at you

[lethal shoal]

rock drakes know where you are when you steal them

[placid sundial]

And yeah, know where you are and climb after you

[lethal shoal]

they become john wick

[olive egret]

i know, i know im not sneaking away, talking about sneaking in

[lethal shoal]

thats fine

[placid sundial]

Getting in is easy, getting out is the hard part

[lethal shoal]

but sneaking out is like mission impossible

[olive egret]

thats why i asked if theyll chase you via climbing up the cliff wall and if theyre faster than megalania

[misty turtle]

If you have a bloodstalker

It will be easy to get out

[placid sundial]

To which my answer was yes

[lethal shoal]

yes

[grave needle]

What should I level on a maewing? I'm not using it for nursing

[lethal shoal]

speed

[misty turtle]

Weight

[olive egret]

yeah, yes theyll chase but no they arent faster

[grave needle]

Speed isn't a setting for them

[misty turtle]

Weight

[placid sundial]

yes they are faster

[grave needle]

That's what I figured, thanks!

[olive egret]

weight and hp

[placid sundial]

'they try' climb, and 'yes' theyre faster

[misty turtle]

Hp work too

To survive

[olive egret]

wait rockdrakes are faster at climbing or megalania?

[placid sundial]

The climbing ai can be a bit wonky which is why I said they try

Drakes are faster

[olive egret]

cause youre answering yes when i ask if megalania are faster lool

[placid sundial]

are they faster than megalania lol

'yes, they are faster than megalania'

[olive egret]

gotcha

[placid sundial]

I think megalania and shotgun is a strat some people use, if you get a good enough one and a tanky meg

Probably safer to go with a horde of strong spinos or megalos though

[lethal shoal]

to be safer just clear out the whole thing before getting an egg

that way you can get multiple without needing to worry

[placid sundial]

It becomes far easier to get eggs when you have just a drake tbh

[olive egret]

oh i know

same as with wyverns

[placid sundial]

Cuz you can just grab and gtfo. So you dont really need to grab more than one as long as you get a high level

[olive egret]

so its looking more like my megalanias are just going to be basic getting around for awhile then

[placid sundial]

Probably yeah

[olive egret]

can use them to knockout some tames from the ceiling

and i do have import dinos turned on cause theres no way im not having a Thyla, too damn cool

[misty turtle]

Megalanina only exist for people to get the toxin to fight boss

[placid sundial]

Well initially they were added as a good cave mount

[olive egret]

theyre climbing ability is awesome imo

way more efficient than thyla, just cant jump

[misty turtle]

Still funny how they mesh up with the dossie

[placid sundial]

The climbing is great in a lot of caves, it's just they mainly shine in smaller areas

[halcyon crypt]

megalania has carried me early game for ab

[misty turtle]

Rock Drake do the same

[halcyon crypt]

(ab better mod)

[olive egret]

and theyre radiation proof according to wiki

[misty turtle]

Blood stalker too tbh

[placid sundial]

On Ab their slowness shows

[olive egret]

well yeah, but i dont have a drake yet

[halcyon crypt]

they aren't really fast tho

and extremely lacking in damage

[olive egret]

yeah their base damage sucks, but they got decent weight

so a nice pack mule, unfortunately they wont climb when on follow 😦

[halcyon crypt]

i ran the depths cave on ab with one

legit climbed over everything that was hostile it was so broken

[olive egret]

in theory, cant you do that with all but swimming caves really?

[halcyon crypt]

pretty much

im not sure if araneo webs can pull you off cave ceilings/walls

[olive egret]

i wish their bite effect worked on wild dinos, but nope

[halcyon crypt]

i still don't know why megalanias saddle is learned so late

[olive egret]

cause it was supposed to be an awesome pvp mount

[halcyon crypt]

its not really that broken when antidotes are pretty cheap

[olive egret]

true

[nimble yacht]

what stats do you want for maewings ?

[olive egret]

a lot of stuff is either no longer useful or unusable until way too late

we told you earlier, weight and hp

[nimble yacht]

lol fist time ask ty though 😛

[misty turtle]

That the other guy

That jimx

[olive egret]

gotcha

[misty turtle]

[nimble yacht]

not going to lie i though i might of gone mad and did ask it 2 times

[olive egret]

nah i confused the two of you, same question, same color name

[misty turtle]

😂

[nimble yacht]

all good ill just hold it against you for ever

[misty turtle]

😂

[weary jay]

Is there any way to get rock drake saddles besides getting aberration? I heard they spawn on crystal isles

[placid sundial]

Are you admin of where you play (singleplayer/admin of your server?)

[weary jay]

Yes, but I try to avoid directly spawning and stuff like that as much as I can.

[placid sundial]

You can either add it to drops if you want quality or do the same as I said with the unstable element engrams

[silent matrix]

is there any unofficial servers that have windows store-xbox crossplay and rates

[weary jay]

Ah, it's not part of the drop pool?

[crimson ledge]

How do I wear a Dinopithecus Costume without beating boss?

[silent matrix]

Or just the official

[weary jay]

spawn it in ez

[crimson ledge]

It still says i need to beat boss to equip

[placid sundial]

Dunno, don't know what map you're on but you can add it to wherever you are in the event that its not

[misty turtle]

No they not

You can get rock drake saddle from drop and learn engram.i think in CI

[weary jay]

Well, I'm on mainly rag atm, but I heard they were on crystal isles so I could get them there.

[weary jay]

Ayy yo? 👀

[misty turtle]

They only in Ab

I used to get 1 from drop

Although it only 30 armor

BP

[halcyon crypt]

you can spawn some in the caves under the floating islands and they can still make nests

[dense furnace]

is an argue pretty much considered the best flier on the island?

[languid temple]

Why does my ark crash every single time I exit to main menu

I keep losing the stuff in that session

[misty turtle]

Argy

[languid temple]

I got in the session

[misty turtle]

For carry

[weary jay]

Do they not spawn normally?

[halcyon crypt]

no

[misty turtle]

Nope

[weary jay]

Why tf-

[misty turtle]

Only spawn in Ab

[dense furnace]

sorry, i meant argie

i said argue by accident

[misty turtle]

It fine

Yes

They are best for island

[dense furnace]

are quetzals too slow?

[misty turtle]

Only

Yeah

[narrow plank]

Definitely.

[misty turtle]

It take forever

[olive egret]

can megalania walk across zip lines or is that just ravager on ab?

[weary jay]

If Snow Owls are in the paid DLC too, does that mean I can't get the saddle without cheating on lost island?

[dense furnace]

whats the best water mount? megalodon?

[outer widget]

basil

[misty turtle]

Only ravager, 2 monkey

[misty turtle]

Basilo and tuso

[dense furnace]

now just how the hell is a leaf gonna help me swim

[olive egret]

okie dokie, next question, glow pets, whats the best one to go for

[outer widget]

very buoyant leaf

[misty turtle]

They in Lost island

Saddle learn in there too believe

Just enable your ex engram in engram section

[placid sundial]

Honestly I'd just go for whichever one you like most. They all do the job

[tribal venture]

im looking to do primal fear modded on a map but im not sure witch one to pick, i started on lost island and the spawns arent supported anyone got reccomendations on which map to pick? im thinking either center, valg, or crystal

[weary jay]

ex engram?

[misty turtle]

Extinction engram

It in up right corner

[weary jay]

Ah, that's the thing

I don't have paid dlc

[placid sundial]

Probably valg because crystal's spawns are fucked up. Though crystal probably suits

[misty turtle]

Hmm weird

I though it show all

[placid sundial]

You dont need it if youre on LI

It should show i think

[weary jay]

That's weird

[placid sundial]

Can you send a screenshot of your engrams screen?

[tribal venture]

ok thanks

[placid sundial]

You'll have to dm probably

[weary jay]

How come the snow owl saddle is available to non paid dlc players legitimately, but not the rock drake

Seems odd

[misty turtle]

Because that how WC want

[weary jay]

I'll take a look, haven't properly started LI yet

[misty turtle]

[placid sundial]

because drakes only spawn on a paid dlc

Though I think valg has Ab engrams and in theory that means drake saddle should be available there too

[long flicker]

They'll probably add the drake to some map eventually

[placid sundial]

Nah it's like the phoenix

[long flicker]

Pheonix is 50 times more useless tho

[placid sundial]

They had this concept of 'hero creatures' which were supposed to only be available on it's native map

[misty turtle]

Fjord

[paper nimbus]

i doubt it, like eclipse said, its like the pheonix, basically a selling point/hero of ab

[weary jay]

🧠

[misty turtle]

Phoenix still good

[long flicker]

Still not an official map

[misty turtle]

They have use but need gacha to make use of them

[misty turtle]

Yeah i just guessing

[long flicker]

I get that but they've made 95% of sales by now

[paper nimbus]

yeah, i do wish they come to more maps

[long flicker]

And drakes are already available, but ONLY to steam players through mods

[misty turtle]

I argee they come to paid map, but for free map it weird

[placid sundial]

I mean if you have to use mods then that isnt really a valid argument because short of re-uploading the map theres almost nothing you cant do

Youre also not allowed to bypass dlc requirements on chibis, thats it as far as im aware of

[long flicker]

I meant mods that change the modmaps to what they originally were, not adding modmaps

[paper nimbus]

funny thing, drakes were on val when it was a mod map, but the devs decided to delete it becuz they wanted ppl to get aberration

[dense furnace]

any good spots for higher level pteranodons?

[paper nimbus]

thats now how levels work

[placid sundial]

I mean there's any number of ways you can add drakes. You don't need buggy extensions for it

[dense furnace]

so i just gotta kinda look around until i spot one?

[long flicker]

And valg devs went ahead and added a mod to add them back to the map

[silent matrix]

Anyone know why I can’t turn on my tek transmitter?

[placid sundial]

i mean it can but not in this case

[paper nimbus]

basically, yeah

[long flicker]

Yeah I know

[dense furnace]

alright, thank you

[silent matrix]

Anyone know why I can’t turn on my tek transmitter?

[misty turtle]

Kill low level so new one spawn and may be high level will spawn

[paper nimbus]

the laziest way is just summontamed

[silent matrix]

Anyone know why I can’t turn on my tek transmitter?

[long flicker]

They've already made most of the sales that ab will make; ab is already a pretty popular map and I'd guess that the few new people would get it because of how popular it is

[misty turtle]

Do you have engram

[silent matrix]

O yea forgot my

[placid sundial]

The best way is INI to spawn it and simple spawners for eggs (kbd for eggs instead if that config works on drakes)

[long flicker]

gmsummon is superior

[placid sundial]

It's still 'Ab's creature', sales or no

[long flicker]

Fuck like 50 new messages were sent by the time I sent my message
Goddamn slow ass mobile typing

[paper nimbus]

i do hope they add it to other maps, i really like the idea of "ab zones" tbh

[long flicker]

Like ankies, that aren't on any of the free maps for zero reason I suppose

Fucking wrong replu

Still, theres no incentive to have the "map specific" creature anymore

The number of sales they'd lose to people who dont get ab because they already have drake is tiny

[placid sundial]

^

[long flicker]

Whats the point in that

Branding?

[misty turtle]

Add to free map kind of weird

If it in weird biome

[placid sundial]

The 'hero creature' concept

[misty turtle]

Not suit them

[long flicker]

Whose main incentive would have been, to increase sales

[placid sundial]

They said that about the free dlc creatures too lol

[misty turtle]

If all paid dlc creatures add to free dlc what the point to buy paid when mainly people buy paid dlc for creatures

[placid sundial]

Ok but they said it about free dlc creatures

Trying to find a link to the source though

[long flicker]

fucking FINALLY pc typing bliss, ah

[long flicker]

that's what I've been saying for the past 10 messages
not many new people will be buying the DLC's anyway

[placid sundial]

Hmm from the limited context im seeing I think this was from a QnA with the mod author of CI about the official CI release

[placid sundial]

and i keep saying they said it about FREE creatures

[long flicker]

the free creatures don't matter, because they were already free, they never changed sales to begin with
and fjordur has deinonychus, so...

[placid sundial]

We dont know what fjordur has.

[long flicker]

if they say that they'll remove deinonychus from fjordur then that probably means they're still doing the hero creature bullshit

[placid sundial]

if you go by the modmap then why arent there drakes in the official Valg

[placid sundial]

Ok but they said the hero creature stuff about free creatures

[long flicker]

because if you don't respond when my point isn't over then that'd be great

[misty turtle]

They keep paid creatures in paid dlc

[placid sundial]

they ain't selling deinonychus and they still said they were keeping it unique

[placid sundial]

Have they ever announced specifically 'we are removing these creatures from the modmap'?

That would also mean there'll be titans on fjordur

[long flicker]

I said "say" but more like "we'll see for ourselves when we download the map which I definitley won't download because god knows how bloated it'll be by the time it's finished"

[placid sundial]

and whatever th else it has. You can't gauge spawns off the modmap. They could be completely rewritten for all we know

[misty turtle]

Nah it zero % they add titan in that map

But i think they will keep custome boss

Mini boss

[placid sundial]

Lmao true. I'll try and download it and cry as I need to go and buy a 1tb ssd

And then buy a second one for the kit update for it

[long flicker]

goddamn these new maps are big

and back then I though rag was big with its 25 GB of nonsense

[placid sundial]

Loads of custom assets I suppose

yeah lol. Ci fucking floored me

[long flicker]

most of them don't even use any custom assets

[placid sundial]

CI has a lot of it it feels like

[long flicker]

fjordur has some assets from atlas but that's about it

[placid sundial]

..yknwh i can check lol

ive been sitting in the adk not doing the spawns i planned to for the last like 8 hours

[long flicker]

oh right you can

[misty turtle]

2 days left for bat dossie

[long flicker]

ngl I'm actually excited for the bat, it sounds interesting

[misty turtle]

[long flicker]

a big ridable bat is way better than a smol non ridable bat

[misty turtle]

Hope they add the idea i say before

[long flicker]

a smol non ridable bat which isn't a shoulder pet and can't fucking land

[placid sundial]

Bat sounds cool but I think rhynio would have been more unique

[long flicker]

I didn't vote for anything so I can complain about whatever DOES get the vote

but I don't like how barely anything was known about the creatures to be in the vote

[misty turtle]

The ability to drink blood from other creatures make their own med kit can heal all tamed including herbivore

[long flicker]

the monke was supposed to shoot guns and shit, which everyone knew wasn't going to happen, but voted for it anyway

so... a daeodon, but it's activated by eating a corpse?

or eating a living thing ig

[placid sundial]

..hmm theres some modmap shit left over here I think so mightnnot be that reliable actually

[paper nimbus]

onyc is one of, if not THE most useless tame relative to how hard it is to tame

[placid sundial]

'supposed' to, no, it was never about abilities

[crimson ledge]

[misty turtle]

Some of ark creatures already out date

[paper nimbus]

remove "guns and"

[dense furnace]

god pteranodons are so lame

[placid sundial]

Vote was supposed to be about a cool creature which wc would then choose abilities for

[paper nimbus]

theyre just meant to be scouts

[crimson ledge]

Everything pre scorched earth needs a minor TLC and a complete remodel

[dense furnace]

apparently

[placid sundial]

Otherwise people could just say 'it can one shot king titan' and if it gets enough votes 🤷

[long flicker]

"supposed to" as in what was written in the fan made dossier, which was all the information WE have for voting

which is my point
we don't have any concrete information for voting at all

[crimson ledge]

The abilities give a ROUGH idea of what is supposed to be implemented, not a set in stone one

[placid sundial]

People shouldnt have voted based on abilities though is my point
because the vote was never supposed to be about abiltiies
abilities were wc's choice

[misty turtle]

Vote for the look then whatever get the best look win

[tribal venture]

oh my god valg spawns actualy work and its great

[misty turtle]

[long flicker]

it's not about it being "abilities" that we don't have control over
it's about the lack of information in general

[paper nimbus]

yknow onyc would be good if it was ridable. mega raibes go brrr

[placid sundial]

yep that's what people should have done. What I did. Why I put rhynio first

[long flicker]

what I did was vote for nothing and complain
as usual

[misty turtle]

But the look ingame different with concept

[placid sundial]

Yeah i agree but I also dont see any other way it could have gone

Like what else happens, wildcard designs abilities for 1000 submissions?

[long flicker]

how about reducing number of submissions

[misty turtle]

Still sad with velo look i want to see concept version of it ingame

[placid sundial]

And then if you're slow, bad luck, your contribution matters less?

[long flicker]

never said to make it about speed

[placid sundial]

If you're in the wrong timezone, too bad?

How else do you reduce the number of submissions

[crimson ledge]

I think the submission system was good the way it was

[long flicker]

~~ahem, my argument about why I hate limited time things in games like warframe's 2 month event ~~

[misty turtle]

If you want fair vote just add the name of that creatures

[placid sundial]

It's different here since you're not going to get gated out of getting things potentially overnight by other people getting in first

[long flicker]

it wasn't "if you're in the wrong timezone" but if you can't play during the event or if you joined after the event

apparently paly is an actual word
let me check google

[placid sundial]

Me @ 70% of the prime frames

[misty turtle]

Limited time stuff is for who already play the game long, it like a reward for them

[long flicker]

divided into equal vertical stripes.
huh, so paly IS an actual word

[misty turtle]

[placid sundial]

me at equinox ;-;

I even started fucking playing when equi was unvaulted, but wasn't playing playing (only when i was dragged on) so I didnt get her

[long flicker]

and every other player, anyone who's been playing for a while but couldn't play during that can fuck off

anyone who joined later? too bad

[placid sundial]

and because she was recently vaulted she wans't in resurgence either.... still can't believe my luck somehow getting the whole frame from other people's relics randomly

[misty turtle]

Cant play then too bad life is never fair

[long flicker]

still proves my point, I'd much rather events that at least happen annually or aren't just a one time thing

[placid sundial]

You can trade for pretty much every part at any time tbf

[misty turtle]

Life alway fuck with you

[long flicker]

using real life money
or using 5 dozen unvaulted things because the unvaulted things have so much lower value

[placid sundial]

Some of the rares would take a bit to grind for but it's doable. I was close to doing that with equi btu then alex had a spare systems but then I got the systems a day after i asked him about it lol

[long flicker]

and this is video games
which we play to escape the fuckiness of life

[misty turtle]

Game can still fuck with you

[placid sundial]

Wait a little for the part to vault, profit

[long flicker]

not to make them "life 2.0"

[misty turtle]

It can be digital life

[long flicker]

good point

[placid sundial]

nidus neurops go for about 30p, and he;s currently unvaulted

[long flicker]

it's a fucking stock market, tomorrow that price is gonna be 5 plat for no reason

[placid sundial]

Saryn chassis is one of the most expensive parts ive seen, at 60-70 (as of resurgence tbf)

[long flicker]

obvious exaggeration alert

either it'll be 5 or it'll 500 plat tomorrow

[placid sundial]

So it's like 3 nidus neurops which ive gotten from just throwing unrefined rads for traces lol

[long flicker]

I want to get nidus but I also couldn't be assed to play more

[placid sundial]

He's probably not getting vaulted any time soon, and if he is ill let you know and give you a bunch of relics. I have too many from hydron

[placid sundial]

But im waiting till he's vaulted to sell so value goes ^^^^

Since I dont need the plat rn

[long flicker]

one game I Know has like 50 limited time cosmetics that are ALL unavailable because they keep adding 2 or 3 more every season and it's been like 17 seasons and there's no way to get them once the season is over

seasons last a month or so iirc

[placid sundial]

Im torn on how I feel about that tbh

On the one hand its nice as the player having the exclusive cosmetic

On the other... i wanna look cool lol

I lean toward 'make it available, let people have fun with all the stuff'

[long flicker]

there's a few things that I wanted from season 2 or 5 but tough luck because this account was created too late and I wasn't playing the game during those seasons because the game isn't even a fun game to play

[misty turtle]

Does anyone of you know how to get the background in Ark new website

Want to get it but dont know how

[placid sundial]

I think there's a degree to which it's understandable, as like a badge to show you're a veteran or were around for a special event

but on the most part it's limiting people from nice stuff with little game

[long flicker]

oh, did I Mention it's singleplayer

[placid sundial]

Nope but I'd love to know if you find out how

[long flicker]

the comsetics are for the singleplayer part of the game

[placid sundial]

No and that changes things

[long flicker]

the multiplayer part is its own mess

[placid sundial]

Youre not flexing your experience on anyone in sp

[misty turtle]

Does the guy usually add stuff in ark wiki here

[long flicker]

then again the game is the most p2w mess you can imagine so eh

[misty turtle]

I see ark wiki have somekind of them same back ground like ark news page

[tribal venture]

is there a way to enable flyers in the ab zone on ab?

[placid sundial]

Flying is enabled by default, just cant download flyers, iirc

[long flicker]

they recently (around when I stopped playing for the 5th time) added a VIP zone that has a lot of bullshit, and if you pay enough then you can actually get access to a VIP exclusive thing which people have wanted in the game for years now

so making THAT locked behind a paywall was real asshole of them

[tribal venture]

on vag i ment sorry

[long flicker]

enable cave flyers

[placid sundial]

aaaand thats why. 'buy it now or dont get it ever lol'

[long flicker]

I used to talk in the official server but it was clear I didn't fit in with the people there

[tribal venture]

is that a command or a check box in the setting menu?

[long flicker]

the game took a path which is just nothing but grinding and more grinding with some paying to skip a lot of the grind
and people there think that's what the game was meant to be

[placid sundial]

mobile game?

[long flicker]

I don't think there's a checkbox for it, but you can do it via ini

[long flicker]

yep, had a lot of potential back in 2018 but they pretty much ruined it

[grizzled path]

can someone please give me a random scorched earth creature

im making a chart thing

[long flicker]

thorny dragon

[grizzled path]

thats done but ok

underrated give

[long flicker]

bruh there's like a dozen total scorched earth dinos

[gilded forge]

Where do I get tek quetzels

[placid sundial]

https://cdn.survivetheark.com/uploads/pages_media/0_ARK_STA_USE_Background.jpg

[static fjord]

same place for normal quetzals

[long flicker]

it's just like any other mobile game at this point but I'm just surprised by how much people think "that's what it was meant to be"
say any criticism of the game on that server and it's simply ignored, you won't get any response at all

[gilded forge]

But they never there

[static fjord]

yes because its a low chance.

[gilded forge]

All I see is level 40 quetzels or level 50

[placid sundial]

What game?

[static fjord]

map?

[gilded forge]

It's a cluster but valguero

[long flicker]

wait, so if you cut a thing then copy a different thing then the cut thing is gone forever
damn that's annoying

[gilded forge]

And crystal isles

[placid sundial]

I mean it could have been what it was 'meant' to be that but that doesn't make it good

[gilded forge]

There's the volcano ragnarok extinction valgeuro lost island the island the center gen q 1 and gen 2 I maybe forgetting one @static fjord

[frozen urchin]

If i rent a dedicated server can i move my single player save there so my friends can play in my old SP world?

[long flicker]

if it was "meant" to be nothing but grinding and paying a bit to remove the grind then... I don't think I'd believe that

[placid sundial]

Renting depends on the host but in general servers can run sp saves yes

[frozen urchin]

Me

Well

[static fjord]

check gen 2, thats the only place i find good quetzals at.

[placid sundial]

If you're self hosting yes

If youre renting it depends on if the server host lets you

[gilded forge]

@static fjord ty

[frozen urchin]

Well, i wouldnt pay if they dont let me, any good dedicated server host that let me do this?

[gilded forge]

@static fjord also where's the best gigas at I'm kinda new to the game my friends alot more experienced I'm trying to get tames for my tribe xd

[long flicker]

I heard rag was pretty good too

[static fjord]

it is?

[long flicker]

at least I heard, I don't know

[placid sundial]

Rag's great for getting quetzals. All spawn in 3 areas close together + offi modmap levels

[gilded forge]

They were level like level 40 I even went and looked for thrR figas

[long flicker]

what were we talking about again

oh right I Was shitting on a random mobile game

[gilded forge]

The R gigas

[long flicker]

eh enough shitting done
now I'll go back to shitting on limited time events

[frozen urchin]

^

[placid sundial]

Not saying it necessarily was, just that in theory it could be. And that thats not an excuse for no criotisism

I'm not a fan of renting hosts personally

[static fjord]

i dont know, i dont tame gigas much but rag is usually good.

[placid sundial]

Too much random bullshit

[frozen urchin]

I mean i would host, but hosting seems like a struggle to set up

[long flicker]

well, if it was then it'd make me lose the little respect I have for the company that made it at least

[placid sundial]

It's a bit annoying to get set up but worth it once you do get through it

[frozen urchin]

All the vids are like an hour and a half lmao

If i set up a server, does it use my internet to power it? Or i gotta have a high end pc for this

[placid sundial]

Use your internet to power it?

[gilded forge]

@static fjord thanks lol I tamed a stego it had 87 hp and if went to 107 after tame my tribe was speechless xD because most of the time my tames are useless

[frozen urchin]

Like to run it

[gilded forge]

They said it had to be a glitch lol

[placid sundial]

The one the person who hosts the server I play on used is about an hour, but half the length is toward clustering which you don't have to worry about, and configuration which isn't specific to servers and something you'd want to have some idea about even for renting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1dcWkSzGd4

[placid sundial]

I'm not sure what you mean sorry

The server runs on your own computer though so it does need to be somewhat decent, but it doesn't need to be super high end

Though modlist and number of players will affect it

[frozen urchin]

Like would my pc would explode by trying to host a server, like does it make my pc run harder? I have an apu rn and i play on mid settings, but my internet is really good

[placid sundial]

Internet doesn't affect how the server runs, just how good people's connections to it will be

[frozen urchin]

I have a 400 speed internet so im not worry about this, more my pc lmao

[placid sundial]

I'd want 16gb ram at minimum considering you'll be playing on the same machine. 24g is very comfortably running a pretty moderately sized modlist on LI

[jaunty arrow]

if your single player can you transfer between islands

[placid sundial]

Yes

[frozen urchin]

I have 16gb of ram

[jaunty arrow]

I used to play this game on my phone and just got it on my console so i’m new to all this stuff

[placid sundial]

it was even able to handle 120,000 turtles before it oomed. for a total of like 220k dinos or something lmao

[placid sundial]

What's your modlist look like?

[frozen urchin]

I dont have any mods yet

I started playing again like 3 days ago

[placid sundial]

Would probably be fine for now then as long as you don't have too much ram-hungry shit also going

Or get like 5+ people on it at once

[frozen urchin]

Yea we will prob be around 10

[jaunty arrow]

is there any good servers to play on

[frozen urchin]

Ill prob rent a server until i get a better gpu and stuff

[placid sundial]

Ah for 10 people you'll probably need a dedicated host then yeah (dedicated machine or rented host)

GPU doesnt matter for the server, it's mainly ram and cpu

[misty turtle]

Check #735196277221883964

[frozen urchin]

Any good dedicated server providers that let me use my single player save?

[azure minnow]

God I suck at this game

[grizzled path]

bruh the max creatures i coyld find was 138

The stats is gonna be a nightmare

[azure minnow]

Can the parasuars I'm trying to catch please stop running into the water

[placid sundial]

Well an important step would be if they allow FTP

[azure minnow]

please, I am begging

[placid sundial]

Bola them

[azure minnow]

I am and they're godsent

Hit them harder in the head

[misty turtle]

Get higher tier knock out weap

Or just trap it

[grizzled path]

bola it

[fast sphinx]

maewing allowed on val, rag, or the island?

[gilded forge]

They should allow every dino of every

Map

[placid sundial]

all of them

[fast sphinx]

what's the best map to find giga heart?

i need to do the dragon alpha but i can only make it on val, rag or the island

[misty turtle]

Gen2 and Lost Island

Spawn

[abstract charm]

all maps

[misty turtle]

Oh allowed

Though spawn

[fast sphinx]

and what map for giga heart? val, rag or the island?

[abstract charm]

val will give the most engrams out of all 3 if your trying to do dragon

[fast sphinx]

okay thanks

why val give the most engrams?

there is 2 boss?

[pearl sigil]

3

In the arena

Manticore, dragon, and monkey

[fast sphinx]

😂 i think im gonna do it on the island

[pearl sigil]

Island is hardest

Center is easiest

Center you can do with no guns or armor

Just look up center boss fight velonosaur. You just climb on a ledge and shoot both bosses to death and they can’t hit u

[fast sphinx]

i get around 20 deino, 3200% melee and 12k hp

i think on the island its easy with deino?

[pearl sigil]

Perhaps, give it a shot

[fast sphinx]

ohh no giga heart needed on the center ?

[misty turtle]

They all get nerf

Val is easy

[compact imp]

i have host tether distance really high but all of a sudden it stopped working and my friend keeps getting tped how do i fix this

[placid sundial]

Some places will always tp regartdless of settings

[compact imp]

oh makes sense were at a wyvern trench

[slim yacht]

i made my first ever base in ark today

can i show it

[silent matrix]

#building-screenshots

[sage vessel]

cant hit the head of still dino?

[silent matrix]

Some dinos you can't get headshots on

[sage vessel]

a queztal ?

[dense furnace]

are rare flowers and shrooms used for taming?

[long flicker]

for a few dinos

lystros eat rare flowers, procoptodons eat rare shrooms

[devout inlet]

Why are actual hidden base locations on crystal isles?

[compact imp]

those are just used for tripping and getting things angry at you mostly

[long flicker]

main usage is recipes tho

[dense furnace]

sure as hell got those beavers angry at me lmao

[long flicker]

bees also eat rare flowers

beavers are already angry at you after you look into their damn dam

[dense furnace]

i know

i tried to tell them i was just browsing but they wouldn't listen

[long flicker]

hey, next time you rob someone's house, just tell them "hey I'm just browsing!"

[dense furnace]

mf ate 10 spears without dying, that's more than a sarco

maybe i've only fought weak sarcos

[dense furnace]

i'll try it

i'll make sure to bring a crossbow, a ghillie suit, and 10 spears made of garbage so they know i'm not there to steal anything

[rare hamlet]

Give the na servers a roll back

That had the maintenance

Everyone lost all their cryoed dinos

They turned to empty pods

[olive egret]

is the admin saveworld command a cheat saveworld or just a saveworld

also, how to know if it works?

[placid sundial]

On a server, you need cheat

For everything

[placid sundial]

Generally you can notice a small lag

[olive egret]

got it, was able to see it

[placid sundial]

I always try access a dino invnright after hitting it and if it takes a sec, it worked'

[wispy frigate]

It says “saving” in the bottom right

[placid sundial]

Not on pc

[olive egret]

nope

[wispy frigate]

Finally, something that is better on console than pc lol

[olive egret]

LOL

the one downside with breeding megalania with dino storage, so many effing bags of toxins left behind

[placid sundial]

The lootpullanyteam config should work on them shouldnt it?

[olive egret]

idk what that even is lol

[placid sundial]

And I mean without ds there's still loads of toxin left around its just more annoying to get the megalania

[olive egret]

oh that works for bags left behind after i put them into the pokeballs

but its not letting me do that for these bags oddly

[placid sundial]

Did you add the config tho

[olive egret]

no

[placid sundial]

by default it doesnt let you grab from any team because then you could snipe another tribe's items

[silent matrix]

Anyone wanna start up on a server

[long flicker]

makes sense

[placid sundial]

#735196255483068497

[olive egret]

ohhhhhh

[placid sundial]

S+ transfer tool might also pick them all up, not sure if it cares about team

[olive egret]

so tryingto fix my mutations stacks, went back to the 20M Male (1/20 19/20) and 20H Female (1/20 19/20) and the babies are coming out 20/20, next step is to breed with unmutated correct to get the 40 on one side?

[long flicker]

yeah

[olive egret]

got it

i see where i borked it yesterday

[long flicker]

but the final product's mutations don't matter

as long as you don't need to mutate more

[olive egret]

i need to for colors

cause i dont feel like admin changing them all lol

[long flicker]

make a different stack for colours

adding all stats and colours on a singular mutation line is an awful idea

instead, start multiple lines, one for each stat, one for the colours

@placid sundial reminds me, I Want another pic of those lightning wyverns

[olive egret]

how does the one for colors work when itll also have stats?

[placid sundial]

A new one? Or resend an old one?

Youre not getting a new one I have a mod cooking remember

oh it finished

[long flicker]

old one

[placid sundial]

well im still not getting up and booting ark and travelling to rag and finding wherever the fuck I put them to get a picture rn sorry lol

[long flicker]

yeah I don't expect you to
but there has to be an old one on this very chat

[placid sundial]

ye I didnt look befopre senidng

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/554870639467429898/726052421113086012/unknown.png

[long flicker]

you'll breed the final product of the colours with the final product of the stats

[placid sundial]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/718085770560143461/724124213077606490/unknown.png

[long flicker]

and try to get a baby with both the colours and the stats

[long flicker]

mmm yeah that's good looking

[olive egret]

no what i mean is like going for color muts cause mutations also give stacks with the colors

so like either way, its gonna have stats on it stacking

[long flicker]

then keep the baby with the good colours separately

[olive egret]

okay thats what i thought

[long flicker]

and join them all together at the end

[placid sundial]

Get mutations>Colour extract it>Destroy baby

[long flicker]

I'm assuming no mods

[olive egret]

i wanna know how without mods first

[long flicker]

oh god I was planning to mutate sharks without mods

[placid sundial]

I mention QoL to them yesterday

[olive egret]

yeah i remember

[long flicker]

oh god what had I started

[placid sundial]

Also explained without mods yesterday too

[long flicker]

well, it's way easier now that incubator exists

[olive egret]

im double checking lol

[long flicker]

... and they also added abortion in ark
I Feel like that'll lead to some dumb arguments

[olive egret]

ive yet to try the incubator

[silent matrix]

Good night, take a doubt I was playing on an official server and he disappeared... can he come back or is he gone forever?

[placid sundial]

But yeah you just spam off a bunch of babies from a shitload of random breeders (though all the same colours makes it easier to see what colour you got) and then just store all the babies with colours you want

[long flicker]

the incubator revolutionises ark breeding pretty much

[long flicker]

take a doubt?

[placid sundial]

Hm?

[long flicker]

mutating sharks without any mods

[wispy frigate]

I am also

[long flicker]

I use DSv2 now but I still have that nagging voice in the back of my head saying "do it without mods"

[placid sundial]

Imo it's easier to pop 250 eggs at once and sort the mutes out then destroy all, than check every one of tthose eggs indivudully

[olive egret]

oh i love the soul terminal

[long flicker]

well of course it doesn't make it easier than DSv2
but it revolutionises it for official, who no longer need to incubate it fully

that saves a lot of time for official folks

[placid sundial]

Yeah compared to vanilla it's massive

[olive egret]

even turned on the feature to fully grow babies when they come out of ball to make the breeding faster

[long flicker]

I'm pretty happy with it, since I think lost island made it available to free to play's too

[long flicker]

that's a pretty cheaty feature

[olive egret]

just using for breeding cause i aint got all day lol

[wispy frigate]

Not really tho
I’m thinking one of these two things will happen by the time I get to gen 1:
I get a pc and get mods
I stop playing ark because devs stop supporting it

[placid sundial]

Waiting an hour for dinos to grow sucks though lol

[olive egret]

or like 4 with some lol

[long flicker]

nor do I
I make them raise faster by speeding up time itself, at your point it's like using a command to raise them

[wispy frigate]

Yep

[placid sundial]

get pc, get mods, profit

[wispy frigate]

Money tho

[long flicker]

at least they still eat food, and I still have to protect them, and still have to imprint them

in fact I was thinking of using a slomo chair mod that I'd heard of a while ago

[placid sundial]

Well you dont want to imprint breeders anyway

[olive egret]

^

[placid sundial]

(the config does do that automatically though)

[long flicker]

still doesn't mean you should just cheat raise them up

[wispy frigate]

With ds it doesn’t really matter

[long flicker]

I could type "setbabyage 1" and it would be no different from the config

[wispy frigate]

Altho I wouldn’t do it even with ds

[placid sundial]

Eh it's cutting out on a wait, and that's not fun, so I understand it

[long flicker]

I can kind of understand it, but there's better ways of cutting out the wait

I use slomo after all

[placid sundial]

There's already enough waiting in breeding with rng

[long flicker]

cutting out the RNG would be much better than cutting out the raising

[olive egret]

i even have my breeding and maturation rates sped up

[placid sundial]

It's hard to protect a dino when everything's at supersonic speed

[long flicker]

such as S+ mutator, which at the very least reduces the RNG

[long flicker]

I manage it
barely

[placid sundial]

i more often than not just go flying off of cliffs

from tapping w

[long flicker]

I turn slomo off the second I see any sort of threat

be it a dilo or an alpha rex, slomo is turning off the second I see it

[placid sundial]

issue with slomo is its just so hard to manage and honestly more annoying to manage than just skipping the wait completely

Youre also not able to actually play in that time

[long flicker]

I can kind of understand it
I would really just increase food consumption but that'd make it possible for babies to fucking starve with food in their inventory

because they can't eat fast enough to match their consumption

[olive egret]

i mean i plan on raising and imprinting the babies once stats are merged, but theres no reason to wait for things along the way

[long flicker]

let me see what the slomo chair is

[wispy frigate]

Set mature higher then

[placid sundial]

Meanwhile I just set my rates high and still hate the wait because I refuse to use commands

[long flicker]

I feel that raising the baby is meant to be the challenge, much more than RNG, so I don't find any problem with changing the RNG, but making the raising easier I'm against

[long flicker]

be like me
join the dark side

[placid sundial]

I refuse to use commands

[olive egret]

i dont mind raising the baby for the ones im using, but for breeders, speed it up

[long flicker]

"set mature high"
yes, I mean increase food consumption by setting mature high
That's my entire point

[placid sundial]

I re-fought CMC rather than spawn back in my medbrews

[long flicker]

join us, join us

or just download the slomo chair ig

[placid sundial]

I like being able to play while my breeders are growing

[long flicker]

chair of the impatient, it's called

[long flicker]

yeah I just chat on discord as I wait 5 minutes for my breeders to grow

[narrow plank]

Urg. Black pearls are a pain on the Island.

[long flicker]

yeah they are

[wispy frigate]

I’m confused now
If they cannot eat fast enough to match the rate at which their food goes down, set mature higher so that they grow up before the food reaches 0

[olive egret]

ive already done everything else on this map, caves are done, alphas are all done, all im doing now is prepping for Ab

[long flicker]

The Chair adds a immersive option to speed up time while waiting for time consuming tasks like Smelting, Breeding, or Healing your pets back up.
It is designed to be used in Single Player Only but now also can be enabled on Servers.
You simply craft the chair, put it down and while you sit in it the game is sped up. The default is 10* but can be adjusted in the GameUserSetting.ini to up to 20*.
interesting

[long flicker]

oof the tributes are going to be a pain

[long flicker]

this might be way better than using slomo

[olive egret]

for Ab? probably lol never done that map

[long flicker]

it and extinction have the most time consuming tributes

extinction with the quantity, ab with the extremely annoying to get items

[olive egret]

those two maps look the coolest to me tbh

[long flicker]

I can agree on that

[placid sundial]

Ab is incredible, ext is a great idea that fell flat in it's execution imo

[olive egret]

i just wanna go with a good megalania and thyla cause theyre my fav from this playthrough

[static fjord]

this is real?

[long flicker]

yeah I was recommended it a few months ago
