[silent matrix]

Well with a sino a high base stam stat would be good but not really needed considering I reckon you should only pump points into stam

[finite bone]

Once I found out holding R allows access to their inv while on your back, weight was required. Then there is the issue of HP... It was a whole thing lol

[olive egret]

whats the command to use light mode with pets on shoulder while mounted? is it R also?

[finite bone]

I still have well over 3500 stam, so its overkill anyway

light mode?

[olive egret]

glow or whatever its called

[finite bone]

Never used that tbh

[olive egret]

the thing that keeps away all the scary night creatures on Ab

[finite bone]

I just found you get a radial menu if you hold R and can use it to scream or change scream options and access inv/level while its on your back

[molten otter]

open emote menu and choose lighten

or whatever it is

[topaz river]

So am having a problem am trying to join a lost island server, but as soon as I click join it brings me back to the main menu screen with the community tab open on crystal isles (which to my knowledge is already installed) anyone know whats going on

[olive egret]

okay, so i need to bind emote menu then lol

[merry nexus]

yo what was wildcard thinking when they removed mission areas

[olive egret]

?

[merry nexus]

for gen 2 i mean

[olive egret]

i thought gen 2 had missions?

[merry nexus]

i cant do anything

[merry nexus]

yeah it does, but they are filled with turrets

[olive egret]

the hell? thats weird

[nimble yacht]

all good

[prisma sand]

That’s people defending against god mode lol.

[merry nexus]

but then how am i supposed to do literally anything

;-;

[prisma sand]

Have you tried asking nicely?

[nimble yacht]

is there a mod that lets you sort things in storages with folders.
so like resources folder
witlist stone wood metal that and so on then another
tools
all tools auto go in
and so on ?

[merry nexus]

to turn off

?

[prisma sand]

Can’t you already sort with folders

[timber sand]

Finally got everything ready for the aberration Rockwell boss.
His health was down half and suddenly I'm stuck in a corner I can't dismount can't move and I can't shoot the balls that are killing my character.
I die and lose
But it's OK I have a backup
I backup my save only to find myself from 2 hours previous on the surface with my Drake at NIGHTTINE and still on fire.
We both die and my save overrides so now I can't fix it.
I have lost all progress from 2 hours and now I need a new drake.
I have never been arked more then this moment

[nimble yacht]

well i want it automatic so i can just place the items in there and it just gets put in that folder

can any thing carry a maewing ?

[olive egret]

the wind beneath its flaps

[prisma sand]

You loaded in a backup?!?

That’s karma not getting Arked!

I’m just kidding man you do you

[rotund ridge]

how can i use the mods

[timber sand]

@prisma sand i saved before entering the boss room incase of glitched failure and the save didnt actually save and the closest ine was 2 hours back.

[prisma sand]

Might be a mod

[nimble yacht]

yeah ill try to look again

[rotund ridge]

how can i use the mods

[nimble yacht]

you need steam and then you can

[rotund ridge]

i got it

[nimble yacht]

sent you a msg of a video

[finite bone]

The closest I have seen is the automatic transfer with S Plus, there's an option to deliver to dedicated storage for that item. However dedicated storage is tek tier

[nimble yacht]

ahh

[glad flower]

Hey! I just joined the Discord and just Re-Downloaded Ark, looking for a good NAE or NAW server to play on

[finite bone]

#735196255483068497

That's likely your best bet they push everybody to that channel for recruiting

[glad flower]

I dont even care for a team

Just wanna know of good servers lol

[finite bone]

I run a solo dedicated cluster so I can't help you there lol

[nimble yacht]

what do you run the cluster on ?

[finite bone]

Currently I buy space on g-panel, but I'm moving my physical servers to a friend of mine's and I that's a massive three server cluster

[nimble yacht]

whats the specs ?

[finite bone]

Its an old ibm blade w/2 blades and stand a alone, each one has 2 processors which I do not remember speed on ATM, 128gb ram, 15k sas drives and on a 1gb symmetrical fiber connection

[nimble yacht]

wow

was it expesive ?

[finite bone]

The best part is it was all free

[nimble yacht]

oh lol

so you have all up 4 cpus ?

[finite bone]

G panel is really cheap though they don't charge you perspect of the servers because it's dynamic allocation and it's about $15 per server, I paid $13.50 per server with a discount

Each server has two physical CPUs, I believe they are all quad cores, but I may have to double check that

[nimble yacht]

do you only run ark or other games ?

[modest linden]

is somthing is ready to demolish on official server is it fair game to anyone? pve?

[muted wraith]

yes

[finite bone]

I have run our Minecraft server, Ark, and I have some VMS for testing environments for things like docker and kubernetes as well as a web front end for an app I am making

[nimble yacht]

nice im hoping to do something like that for my self

[finite bone]

Hit me up if you have questions, I'd mail you a server I am pitching but you're a bit far lol

[nimble yacht]

im hosting mc server on 2 old pc and ark server on my gaming pc

[nimble yacht]

lol yeah would cost more than the servers worth XD

[finite bone]

Yeeeep

Before I left my old job I snagged decommissioned servers when I could and gave them to buddies. Got to a point no one needed them so I have a stack of switches, servers, and firewalls I don't need lol

[nimble yacht]

nice prob could sell them

[slim yacht]

what do you guys think is the best dlc to start out in

i wanted to swap out the island with a different dlc because hte island is boring for me

[dense furnace]

is there a limit to how far my dinos can wander

[silent matrix]

Rag, Val, The Island or Gen 2

[slim yacht]

choose one out of those if you can please

[silent matrix]

Val

[slim yacht]

ok thx

[olive egret]

if 180 is my max wild dino level, what would the max for wyverns/drakes/magma be?

the Center is an awesome DLC map lol, a little old school but has a lot of nifty stuff

[silent matrix]

Like 210

[jagged crystal]

190

[silent matrix]

That's wrong. That is max if you have 150 wild

[buoyant surge]

I think 228 is the max for a 180 world

[silent matrix]

Or it could be 220. idk

[buoyant surge]

It's higher then that, I remember Syntac recently did a video where he found a max levle wyvern egg and he plays at diff 6

[dense furnace]

ok i figured out how to keep my dinos in 1 place without fences or just disabling wandering, theyre all set to follow around pierogi the parasaur

[olive egret]

okie dokie

okay now to make a breeding spot for wyverns, but them bastards are huge

[finite bone]

Have S+ installed?

[dense furnace]

no

[finite bone]

If you get it, there is a hitching post that will change your life

[dense furnace]

idk man pierogi is one of the most senior of my dinosaurs, i trust him

[olive egret]

im surprised there isnt a breeding range booster in S+ tbh

[finite bone]

Name sounds delicious, beware of giga

[finite bone]

I wouldn't use it personally, but would be cool if there was

[dense furnace]

aside from pork #2, i think pierogi is my oldest surviving dino

[buoyant surge]

just went and checked to make sure, yes.. if your normal wild dino level is 180 then wyvern eggs max level is 228

[finite bone]

Naming dinos whole hungry, nice

[dense furnace]

i promise its a coincidence lol

i have 10 dilos named dave

my raptors are named marjory and jefferson, my pteranodon is ivory, and my one dodo is fred

[finite bone]

My first pteranodon was Terry and my my 28 sine are some form of Cin (CinneWhoop, Cincinnati, Cinny, etc)

[dense furnace]

my terry was killed by a boa:(

[buoyant surge]

I never name my dinos

[dense furnace]

omw to recover his saddle

[finite bone]

I am far too attached now that I have... Red Menace got me when he died... But I had an egg and it was twins

My managamrs name is stymied hopes and no one gets it lol

[azure minnow]

So I did something really stupid and something wholesome happened

[slate flower]

so im taming a pair of titanaboas to farm there drops and i just grabed 2 with my argy flew them back to my base and droped them both in a 4x4

[azure minnow]

I found out Spinos are good underwater and used mine to gradually get a level 4 megalo, well I jumped off my spino to get some oil and forgot he had wandering set on and I was not going to make it, Jaws got under me and pushed me up to the surface right before I drowned

[dense furnace]

underwater is like the whole point of the spino lol

[slate flower]

um no

spinos are awful watermounts

you want a bary

[buoyant surge]

What do you mean? Spinos do a shit ton of damage on land if you use their standing stance

[azure minnow]

IDK I just wanted underwater stuff

[buoyant surge]

especially if they have the hydrated buff

[slate flower]

there still awful in the deep ocean

[azure minnow]

When wandering I can't keep my spino out of the water, he loves it

hes just a sarco with more in the trunk

[slate flower]

at least compared to your other choices

[buoyant surge]

I feel like Megaladons are the best after their tlc.. a pack buff on top of mate boosting and a bleed

[slate flower]

there not as fast as the dolphins dont do as much damage as a good mega and lack the ability to stunlock like the bary

[azure minnow]

I just wanted jaws because I think megalodon are neat and totally not extinct

[dense furnace]

ive been planning to get a bary and a meg eventually

[slate flower]

there extinct anyone that thinks otherwise doesent know what the words costal shark means

[azure minnow]

I like to believe dammit

[dense furnace]

if i post a shitty phone picture of a dino can someone help me identify it?

is there a media channel

[azure minnow]

I saw the most majestic thing when I got near the red obelisk (Yes, I know I shouldn't be anywhere near it at my level)

[buoyant surge]

just put it in screenshots lol

[azure minnow]

a Tek Quetzal, dark blue with black membranes and white lights

[finite bone]

Get your net gun and go hunting!

[slate flower]

guys what do you think of my danger noodles new home

[finite bone]

You can land on it's back lol

[slate flower]

its in screenshots

[azure minnow]

You can build a wholeass house on it's back

[finite bone]

I meant before you tame it

[slate flower]

time to find it a mate

[azure minnow]

it really is a absolutely beautiful specimen

[dense furnace]

how do i tell the difference between t rex and giga other than size?

[slate flower]

wait are titanaboas not breedable?

[finite bone]

Correct, no sex is given

[finite bone]

Gigas chomp you much harder

[dense furnace]

gigas have longer snoots, yes?

[buoyant surge]

Well I feel like the size is the key factor lol

Gigas are waaay taller then rexes

[slate flower]

ark devs the fact that i cant bread titanaboas is depressing

[finite bone]

It's impossible to mistake them really

[slate flower]

please fix i want an army of snakes

[buoyant surge]

Breeding snakes wouldn't of made sense anyway since on pc and console their eggs aren't used for anything useful.. back in the day their eggs made kibble for Thylas and the big monkeys

[slate flower]

thats just wrong

[finite bone]

I mean now a days you just choose size of egg for kibble so they would be useful

[slate flower]

you dont breed because its necisarily usefull

also if you wanna farm there drops they literaly take hours

breeding is such a better solution

they drop at like a quarter the rate of everything else

[buoyant surge]

Not only that.. but the Snakes in ark aren't scienficially accurate.. they should be a lot bigger

... they were also Boas.. so they wouldn't of had any venom to knock people out.

[silent matrix]

Most things in ark aren't accurate

[slim yacht]

this is so stupid i want to play ragnarok and when i try to install it it just opens ark and then it says error could not download (app running)

[slate flower]

lol

[finite bone]

Download crystal isle

[slate flower]

i droped some yuty eggs in

[finite bone]

There is some weird glitch and that's the work around

[slate flower]

and they hatched before he ate them

[slim yacht]

ok

i have crystal isles installed already

[halcyon crypt]

is it impossible to repair hazard gear?

i have a couple sets damaged a little and i plan to go reaper hunting

[silent matrix]

probably

[halcyon crypt]

but i cant repair them even when the ingredients are in the fabricator

[slate flower]

um no

well maybe

[halcyon crypt]

so do i just have make another set

[dense furnace]

which death spot does ark highlight with that little beacon thing? is it the nearest one? most recent? most valuable?

[agile moon]

My mind was blown today when I was reminded that I use to have a game where you could dodge melee attacks.

[finite bone]

All of them

[dense furnace]

ive never seen more than one highlighted, if there are multiple in one spot its always been only one of them lit uo

[finite bone]

I have had a few, but it depends how close you are I suppose

[outer widget]

might be your settings then? when I'm making bloodbags my whole base is green beams

[finite bone]

Get the hatchet, it's gonna be a bloody one

[sage vessel]

damn my server crashed

thought they fixed that, was just finishing up a max ferox tame

[finite bone]

sees recent patch notes oooo so close

[dense furnace]

does a crossbow with a stone arrow do more damage than a thrown primitive spear?

[finite bone]

No idea, toss on scrolling damage text and test it out; I'd go with maybe

[dense furnace]

man i really cant find my deathspot:(

[sage vessel]

pretty sure crossbow does more

[mortal sierra]

Ight

[sage vessel]

95 from crossbow
cant find ranged damage for spear but melee is 24 so cant beat 400%

[finite bone]

Not to mention ease and speed

[frail ivy]

Does anyone know how to get gas balls on Lost Island?

Losing my mind trying to find out how

[finite bone]

Transfer them from a clustered ark

[frail ivy]

So you can't get them on lost island?

I'm new and only played that map

[finite bone]

I searched and couldn't find out how are all

[frail ivy]

seems pretty dumb they wouldn't let you get them on the new map? :S

[dense furnace]

and accuracy, and crafting cost

and range too

[finite bone]

Agreed, pretty misleading that the items are there

[frail ivy]

So i can't make charge batteries etc 😦

[slim yacht]

how do i see the dlcs i have in ark

[frail ivy]

Steam - Right click ark on library - Properties - DLC

[slim yacht]

thx

[dense furnace]

im sure that im near a deathspot, but i see no beacon

[azure minnow]

Can I really only play one Ark at a time?

I want to start on another ark

[frail ivy]

Ok so industrial forge lets you make congealed gas ball from condensed gas...

[finite bone]

You can transfer your survivor, but I'm not sure how that works on sp to keep data on a map

[finite bone]

Problem is you can't find condensed gas

If you know where some is, I am all ears

[outer widget]

ext sulfur pits

[finite bone]

???

[frail ivy]

yeah for condensed gas you go to sulphur pits but that doesn't help on lost island

[finite bone]

There are 3 sulfer nodes near the fire wyvern location, I didn't find gas there. There is a like hot spring but there was no gas there either

Like I said, of you find it please tell me. I have searched

[dense furnace]

what does it mean if a raptor has a weird red and yellow clod around it? its not an alpha

[tiny sentinel]

Pack leader perhaps

Simiar to knew monkey

new

[dense furnace]

so like in a squad of wild ones the leader glows?

[tiny sentinel]

Pretty sure

it's the highest level out of the group

[dense furnace]

ahhh ok

thats the second time i was scared to engage bc i thought it was an alpha, suppose i didnt have much to fear

[tiny sentinel]

Nah alphas got the spooky red glow

A good way i spot one if the raptor or rex is either all white or all red, those are usual alpha colors

[dense furnace]

yeah u saw a bright red t rex, scary

[finite bone]

I have an all white rex non alpha, just a note it's possible

[dense furnace]

he was right next to a pack of allosaurus, a spino, and a tek rex

as well as a pack of raptors. Not a good area to be

[tiny sentinel]

yeah i know they come like that, just im always cautious around one until i know

[finite bone]

For sure

[dense furnace]

i cant find my corpse anywhere

[finite bone]

Also a white rex passes on some awesome color schemes. Most of my rexes I am breeding have a white stripe on their back

[finite bone]

You on have 30m

[dense furnace]

?

[tiny sentinel]

Don't even with mutation, I've been doing it with my shadowmanes and I want to die

[finite bone]

Your loot goes away if you don't grab it in 30min

[dense furnace]

i dont think its been 30 minutes

maybe, that would suck really hard

[tiny sentinel]

Or a unclaimed dino can eat your body and take ur stuff

Happened to me, took a bit before realizing

[dense furnace]

unclaimed as in tamed and then emancipated, or unclaimed as in wild?

[finite bone]

30ish breeds and my stud male won't pass his 42 melee to ANYONE

[tiny sentinel]

Thats my problem with mutating, it takes SOOOO long before you get the right mutations

[finite bone]

I'm not even mutating yet lol

[tiny sentinel]

tamed by someone else, or tamed then unclaimed by you

[dense furnace]

i think its gone, im pretty sure i was at my death spot and i saw no green beacon. Sucks bc that had my crossbow and my metal tools as well as my ghillie armor

[tiny sentinel]

What's your spoil rate at?

[dense furnace]

ah, okay. Im on singleplayer and i dont think choppa the moschops(the only unclaimed dino on this world) found and ate my corpse. Unfortunately, it probably is all gone

[dense furnace]

i didnt change it so default

[prisma sand]

You just need to upload and switch maps man.

[tiny sentinel]

Dang, sometimes the beacons glitch there is still a chance

[dense furnace]

yeah but i cant look for it the old fashioned way, too many gators and snakes in the area

and too wide of an area to search

[tiny sentinel]

fair enough

[dense furnace]

its okay, ill make new stuff

just means i should find an anky to replenish the wasted metal

[finite bone]

Yep

[dense furnace]

at least i didnt lose my longneck

[tiny sentinel]

im gonna go on a little rant about gen 2

[finite bone]

Gilly is the worst part, organic polymer before you're really solidified is a bear

[tiny sentinel]

So if you fail a mission with a dino it just deletes it

[buoyant surge]

Okay great. I have ark and all the mods I wanna use installed on my pc, I have my difficulty changed to 6 so I can get 180 dinos.. tomorrow it begins

[lone osprey]

since when could those bigass lost island monkeys spawn on val bruh ??

[tiny sentinel]

like my lvl 327 rex who is near and dear to me is gone

[buoyant surge]

always lol

It's a bug that wildcard has no intention of fixing

[lone osprey]

my hyaenodon just got her shit rocked by a monkey☹️

[finite bone]

Oh man that's terrible

[tiny sentinel]

Yeah

[dense furnace]

yeah i found that out right quick, had to hunt down a goose whenever armor broke

[finite bone]

Club some penguines lol

[tiny sentinel]

I also lost my high level lighning wyvern it was somewhere around 200

[uneven scarab]

Is Prim+ still broken on Xbox

[dense furnace]

where are penguins? the north, i assume?

[finite bone]

Which map?

[tiny sentinel]

yeah

[dense furnace]

the island

[finite bone]

I'm not super familiar with the island, but I'd say the ice are in the north west

[tiny sentinel]

Go left of the blue obelisk and you'll find a little outcropping of ice with tons of penguins

[lone osprey]

on the iceberg and coasts near it on thr island

[finite bone]

Also, a chainsaw is bonkers for polymer later, like, insane

[tiny sentinel]

I was pampered on Extinction with polymer

[lone osprey]

and the north of the ice where theres a ton of oil rocks on the mainland near the grass they spawn there too

[dense furnace]

top tools for harvesting penguins:
a big stick
a literal chainsaw

[finite bone]

My base on lost island is at the waterfall with 2 leech pool, chitin, oil and a few pearls for DAAAYYYYS

[lone osprey]

ive seen like the entire map and whats a good base location on val its fairly new for me

[finite bone]

I just made normal polymer but couldn't use it for ghilly

[dense furnace]

i have a question regarding transport of my future anky. What would be faster, having him follow me while i fly back home, or bringing him back on a raft? Im going to herbivore island, so hell have to swim if hes gonna follow me on foot

[tiny sentinel]

Wait, could you transfer corrupted nodules (Extinction's Polymer) Across Arks?

[finite bone]

Fly him

[finite bone]

I think so

[lone osprey]

if u cant use an argy raft for sure

[finite bone]

No mention in the description otherwise

[tiny sentinel]

Get an Argy It's so much easier

[lone osprey]

or cryopod if u can lol

[dense furnace]

im nervous abt getting an argy

[lone osprey]

its fairly weird but works ig

[dense furnace]

definitely cant do that lol

[lone osprey]

understandable

go for an argy honestly

[finite bone]

I keep my magma in a cryo and only let him out to farm me metal lol

[lone osprey]

wait what map again?

[dense furnace]

idk how im gonna be able to transport all the required materials for an argy trap, do i just mine all the stone once i get there?

[finite bone]

I'm on lost island, he is the island

[lone osprey]

no

[azure minnow]

I bought genesis

[lone osprey]

make the gates for it before u set off

[tiny sentinel]

Tbh, I don't even make argy traps

[lone osprey]

its easier trust me or get a tame with decent weight

[azure minnow]

I wanna have fun and yall look like you're having a lot of fun

[tiny sentinel]

I just find an open spot and run circles around it

[lone osprey]

genesis 1 and 2 are so fun

1s better imo

[finite bone]

Lost island is amazing

[azure minnow]

I've never played the game multiplayer though, I kinda wanna do that but I don't like PVP at all

[lone osprey]

its more unique ig?? both are great

[tiny sentinel]

Cap gen 2 makes me cry those missions lie

[dense furnace]

i dont think my pteranodon can carry that, and i think ill die if i go on foot. Ya think ill survive on a trike or a stego? those are my only accessible defense tames

[lone osprey]

go trike

stegos are more powerful but slower

[tiny sentinel]

Same, i'm sure there are roleplaying arks

[lone osprey]

wait wait

if u have patience stego microraptors wont be able to knock u off

[finite bone]

I ate pvp and official pve is full of trolls. I run a cluster for myself as all my friends bailed lol

[lone osprey]

just use a trike or smth and kill it

[tiny sentinel]

oof, I've always wanted to join one but idk how to be honest

[azure minnow]

I legit just like playing the game, working on having an actually decent looking house and maybe working with players who are a lot more experienced with the games mechanics than me.

[near bolt]

who pinged me

i got 2 pings

[finite bone]

I'd let people in, but so many trolls... Lol

[tiny sentinel]

it is hard to find a good tribe, this is prolly a good place to do that

[tiny sentinel]

big fax, you prolly shouldn't unless you know them personally or something

[finite bone]

But for clusters you just join a properly setup server and it shows you the connected servers when you upload

[lone osprey]

its been so long since i last joined a tribe lmao

[tiny sentinel]

Oh, well

[lone osprey]

always went to shit right after i joined one i go solo

[finite bone]

I join a tribe so I can see all of my dead friend dinos 😭

[dense furnace]

what level argy do i want? over 100? also, how do i go about making a trap, i only loosely know how to do it

[tiny sentinel]

I always get kinda sad when my first raptor dies

[dense furnace]

memories:(

[lone osprey]

go at least lvl 100, and the trap should be four gateways in a row with the two on the end having gates in them

[tiny sentinel]

Does creating a cluster cost money?

[finite bone]

I never thought I could care for pixels so much... Lol

[lone osprey]

two on each end**

[tiny sentinel]

Legit, and your first parasaur too

[dense furnace]

how much space between, and is there anything else? foundation, roof, etc.?

[lone osprey]

argies are so easy to kite theyll go miles for a dead corpse lmao

[finite bone]

Depends on how you can create it, if you have servers no, if you don't then yes hosting it does

[lone osprey]

nothing else and leave a decent amount of space

i could dm u a picture for an example if u want

[dense furnace]

pierogi is my first para on this world and he is still alive:)

[dense furnace]

that would be great, thank you

[tiny sentinel]

Dang, I don't know how to do either of those things lol

[finite bone]

Well most likely you don't have a server, as most people don't. But if you host on something like g portal they will do the clustering for you once you get your servers up and running. The good thing about them is that they use dynamic allocation of resources so I pay $13.50 per server per month and that's all I really need. I'm also only spinning up servers as I want to go to them rather than all at once

Once I get my physical server moved I'll just move the data over and not have to pay per month

PM me if you want any help

[tiny sentinel]

None of my friends play Ark anymore, sad but I won't be needing to make one

[finite bone]

I know the feel, we paused my lost island server for a bit so I started new. It's lonely

[tiny sentinel]

Like I'd love to play an online server and mess around but they don't play anymore cause they are bozos

[azure minnow]

"Ark has a plot"
"yes, yes, I'm sure it does- OH is that raptor PURPLE?!"

[tiny sentinel]

Haha

LI only care for the colors

[lone osprey]

the plots just “haha funny tentacle man”

[azure minnow]

Excuse me tentacles WHERE?

I want tentacles?

where is my pet tentacle monster?

[tiny sentinel]

plot - Oh, weird rock makes me corrupt, haha space is mine I go brrrr

[lone osprey]

LMAO

i want a creature thats just an octopus nothing special whatsoever

dont even make it special just an octopus

[tiny sentinel]

I bet my ELA teacher would be proud of that summary

[lone osprey]

i despise tusos tbh

[finite bone]

I'd invite you to play, provided you didn't troll or be rude haha

[tiny sentinel]

Tuestho?

[lone osprey]

the bigass squid thing idk if i got the name right

[azure minnow]

Yo I just wanna collect cool dinosuars and have a real prehistoric blast

[lone osprey]

right

[slate flower]

the squid requires stacks of black pearls to tame

[tiny sentinel]

It's fine, do whatever you want, It'll prolly be better than punching my monitor due to bad mutations over and gover again

[azure minnow]

and the instant I see a kraken it's dotame on sight

[slim yacht]

what if i have crystal isles already? should i uninstall and install it agian?

[slate flower]

i reiterate

the giant squid eats stacks of black pearls 50 at a time

[azure minnow]

hot

[lone osprey]

nothing makes me feel more like a god then chasing peoples water tames with a pack of 21 eels speaking from experience this happened last night

[tiny sentinel]

wait thats how you tame it?

[lone osprey]

passive tame yeah

u gotta let it grab ur tame i think

[azure minnow]

I just want to hug it, thats all I want

[devout inlet]

does a tek suit work as radiation protection for the radiation zone in abberation?

[slate flower]

you have to passive tame it by letting it graple your mount/send a tanky tame at it

[tiny sentinel]

How is it passive oml

[lone osprey]

pretty sure yes

[slate flower]

once it grabs it you can feed it pearls

[lone osprey]

best bet is a mosa tbh

[tiny sentinel]

So it's an underwater noglin

[lone osprey]

or a plesio even if it dies its a plesio it deserved it

[slate flower]

it cant grab a moasa

[tiny sentinel]

gotta sacrifice

[lone osprey]

ohh nvm

[azure minnow]

So where is this giant squid?

[lone osprey]

theyre rare as shit

[tiny sentinel]

Go low low low low low low low

[azure minnow]

also so the plot is Cthulhu takes over project to save humanity and corrupts it?

[slate flower]

just swim around in the deep ocean on a dolphin till you find it

[lone osprey]

bottom of the ocean where the eels and mosas and other creepy ass mfs spawn

[buoyant surge]

No on rag they aren't lol

[olive egret]

hmm, hopped back over to SE to grab eggs, tons of wyverns, no eggs

[lone osprey]

yes exactly

[slate flower]

or go to rag

[buoyant surge]

On Rag there is a whole trench filled with them

[prisma sand]

Turtle is way easier to obtain for tuso taming

[slate flower]

turtle is the best

[azure minnow]

Praise Cthulhu

[tiny sentinel]

Turt

[slate flower]

mostly because you can breed like 10 of them

and there not a tame you care about

[tiny sentinel]

ofc ofc

[lone osprey]

so does every dino spawn in at least two maps besides griffs or did i not get the memo

[tiny sentinel]

I have a problem with my map loading

[dense furnace]

are cryopods consumed after use?

[prisma sand]

I tamed a 130 and just added the levels it accumulated while I was on my way to the squid all into hp

[lone osprey]

im sorry why do griffins have such ass base stats oh my god theyre terrible

[slate flower]

rock drakes are only on aberation

[prisma sand]

Works like a dream

[prisma sand]

No

[dense furnace]

where do i find obsidian?

[tiny sentinel]

I load into Cyrstal isles, and I spawn on the water, fall, then I die. Help?

[buoyant surge]

but they do expire after like 30 days if you don't make a charing station

[slate flower]

@dense furnace what map

[prisma sand]

What map?

[dense furnace]

the island, sorry

[lone osprey]

literally any mt

[prisma sand]

That’s real world days btw

[dense furnace]

oh ok

[azure minnow]

I don't wanna go back to the island, uuuuugh. I want more fun things.

[lone osprey]

on the island go volc or blue ob i think are the best options

[prisma sand]

Volcano has a lot

[dense furnace]

i would imagine

[prisma sand]

Don’t go back. Base up else where

[tiny sentinel]

Crystal isles are great if they load in

[lone osprey]

the desert in crystal isles is terrifying dear god i tried living there fuckin arthros spawned EVERYWHERE

[azure minnow]

furries?

[dense furnace]

what is the best upgrade after hide? Is it fur, or should i wait to get flak?

[lone osprey]

flak

furs only for snow biome

[dense furnace]

im only 1 level away from flak actually, ill wait

[slim yacht]

can someone help please whenever i try to play ragnarok it puts me in the store page for ragnarok but when i click download it just opens ark its some werid glitch plz help

[tiny sentinel]

Flak

[prisma sand]

Fur, ghilie, and desert are all situational armors. For protection it’s fiber, hide, chitin, flak, and riot in that order.

[slate flower]

i just use ghillie for everything at this point

[dense furnace]

i got ghille originally bc someone said chitin was bad and it has more protection than hide

[slate flower]

mostly because i have ascendant ghilly

[prisma sand]

Tek armors actual armor rating sucks, but it has some cool features to make up for it.

[slate flower]

only swap to fur when its to cold

[prisma sand]

Raptorclaus?

[dense furnace]

wait chitin armor is so cheap to make

[slate flower]

no

lots of grinding

[tiny sentinel]

Don't go near a megatherium with it

[prisma sand]

I don’t even bother with it anymore.

[finite bone]

You will get mailed by sino if you wear it on lost island

[lone osprey]

oh my god since when were lances a thing im gonna abuse the shit outta this

[azure minnow]

found this thing called a sinomacrops on the wiki

[prisma sand]

Why?

[azure minnow]

and it's so cute omfg

[finite bone]

Mauled

[slim yacht]

megatherium get a boost from bugs that give chitin i think (like a very huge boost)

[finite bone]

Without a doubt my favorite Dino

[slim yacht]

thats why they are good for bug cave and broodmother

[tiny sentinel]

they get enraged when near chitin, they do double damage to scorpions, spiders, and you if your have chitin

[lone osprey]

dont they like rampage in the wild after killing a bug lol

[dense furnace]

ive had several stacks of chitin for p much my whole ark career, moschops + trilobyte = nearly infinite chitin and pearls

[tiny sentinel]

Maybe more than double

[prisma sand]

That boost is from killing a bug. I’ve never heard of chitin armor affecting them.

[halcyon dune]

Ltb tames or tek

[dense furnace]

im gonna get chitin armor to protect until i get flak. It uses less than 100 chitin and its way better than my current armor

[slim yacht]

@prisma sand

[slate flower]

@dense furnace Ghillies organic polymer hide and fiber and you dont need a smithy to fix it and its probably the least resource intensive armour to repair out of all the ascendant armour

[dense furnace]

i dont have enough organic polymer, i dont wanna go hunting whenever my armor breaks

[slate flower]

its why i basicly use it everywere unless im going somewere particularly dangerous

i have a fridge

and penguins drop organic polymer like candy

[prisma sand]

Gotta get you a poly Gacha man. Life changer

[dense furnace]

poly gacha?

[tiny sentinel]

on Extinction

[slate flower]

gachas generate resourse out of walls

[dense furnace]

is there a way to get the glasses cosmetic without killing myself?

[pliant locust]

Ah unofficial then can’t do that on official. Chitin is so cheap to maintain on officials, you only need any lvl 100 plus megatherium and a bug cave and u get a slotcap of chitin in mere minutes during x1. Fiber isn’t hard to mass farm either

[misty turtle]

Official dont even use chitin armor

[dense furnace]

i get several stacks of chitin and fiber in minutes using a moschops

[slate flower]

chitin is garbage in my opinion

[prisma sand]

Gacha transmute mundane items into rare resources and loot. I have several that I just keep snow in their inventories, they return poly, black pearls, ele dust, oil, and crystal

[slate flower]

it needs a smithy to fix

and if your gonna use a smithy make flak

[prisma sand]

They actual do more that’s just what I set them too

[dense furnace]

sounds cool but im not on extinction

[misty turtle]

I throw away ton of them while farming polymer

[pliant locust]

Well these guys are discussing it and seeing someone suggest ghillie for maintenance over chitin is well special id say

[prisma sand]

Just a transfer and easy tame a way man.

[misty turtle]

Poly gacha for the mid game ig

[dense furnace]

if it ends up being a burden then ill switch back, worst case scenario i wasted less than a stack of chitin

[dense furnace]

can i bring it back with me?

[prisma sand]

Yeah

[misty turtle]

Or just go to crystal isle with a doe and farm bee hive

[prisma sand]

Tame several

[misty turtle]

Easy poly

[slate flower]

when you have to clear a cave full of arthroplura and your using somthing other then hide or ghillie your life will suck

[prisma sand]

They all have a random list of what they can craft. Gacha poly is the best because you can leave it in the crystal until you need it so it doesn’t have a spoil timer.

[slate flower]

^

thats the pro way

[pliant locust]

Even asc chitin is super cheap to fix, needing a smithy is absolutely no issue and u can farm the materials on about any map even early on (which is why ppl use it instead of flak I imagine) with little to no effort

[slate flower]

untill then just store your organic in a fridge and you will never have to worry since it multiplys spoil timer by 100

[misty turtle]

I rather use flak

[dense furnace]

ill do that once i get a fridge

[misty turtle]

Official use flak most

[pliant locust]

Yes but that is not possible on official can’t store in fridge and have 20 stack

[olive egret]

so question, if i force spawn wyverns in the trench, would those wyverns eventually make a nest and make eggs?

[pliant locust]

Guess u don’t read what I wrote

[slate flower]

and for PVP flak is hands down the best choice

[misty turtle]

Yes possible

[slate flower]

riot and tek are ok but there massivly exspensive to maintain

and dont beat a good flak blueprint

[slim yacht]

is there a way i can boost alpha spawns

[misty turtle]

Now for official farm poly mostly just kill level 5 karkinos with moschop easy

[slate flower]

^

[dense furnace]

killing myself so i can get the glasses and make my helmet stylish

omg wait are these weird underwater tendril things oil???

[prisma sand]

I just run the highest armor. Ever since the Stryder was added resource cost is irrelevant

[pliant locust]

Depends on it’s required use, on tek u can carry a massive amount of items and fight really effectively staying airborne at all times / have great mobility. There was a YouTuber I literally only saw running in tek and he really showed what u can do with skills.
But maintenance is a thing, even tho Gen2 has made this much easier, even dropping tek suits from missions a lot

[slate flower]

whats the tek engram i need to search for specific dinos on the map

[misty turtle]

But they dont use expansive tek

[pliant locust]

Guess u using s+ mod that’s transmitter

[misty turtle]

Just a normal standar one

[slate flower]

thats it

[pliant locust]

Depends it’s situational he had high capped ones

[misty turtle]

And Gen2 tek is free anyway

[prisma sand]

Isn’t that one of the functions of a Stryder? Detecting specific creatures?

[pliant locust]

So why would u say they don’t use good suits then now u contradict urself

[dense furnace]

when i equip my sunglasses, my original helmet is still visible but my hair is clipping through it. Any idea how to fix that?

[slate flower]

anyway i reiterate you should only use 1 of 3 armours on official 90% of the time unless your just trying to fuck with someone or show off hide/ghillie/and flak and especialy so if you have good blueprints for any of them

[misty turtle]

What good suit

I say they use flak

Tek is expansive to repair

[slate flower]

flak is general purpose and ghillie is for taming well hide is for cave diving into places with arthroplura

[azure minnow]

AHHhhh I spawned into Genesis and there was a swarm of danger bugs

[slate flower]

and if you dont know why you use hide and ghillie in places with arthroplura then you have never fought multiple arthroplura

they eat armour like candy

and if you cant repair it you will be fighting without armour

[pliant locust]

U are cranking me up bro lmao u trolling or sth ? U replied with a little out of context “they don’t use expensive tek”
Next message from you is “gen2 is free tek anyways”
U get free high dura suits from missions and in big tribes it’s not as bad to maintain them. So using them situational is working

[slate flower]

since flack is to heavy to carry more then 1 or 2 sets depending on your weight stat

[misty turtle]

Dude expansive tek here mean bp one, gen2 you have a free tek suit

[dense furnace]

anyone know what's up?

[slate flower]

in official on gen 2 and gen 1 pvp is a diffrent game because ofspacewhales and space dolphins

[pliant locust]

Yes but it has hide armor one fab shot from a capped one and u are toast can’t pvp with that free one (in most cases)

[slate flower]

and the ease at which you can gather element

on ANY other map people dont run around in tek armour unless there doing massive raids and even then only people that are idiotstend to use it because it paints a target on you

[pliant locust]

Basically since Ext u actually see ppl use the suits more often but yea gen (esp 2) is just fibercraft like for ele xD

[slate flower]

and most of the time only a few people have the element to use it

which is better spent on flak armour and the tek rifle

[silent matrix]

Is it normal for griffins to have such bad stats

[misty turtle]

Every creatures

[finite bone]

Yes, but good ones are sooooo good lol

[misty turtle]

Although jerboa alway spawn with level 1

[silent matrix]

Huh

[pliant locust]

Don’t really like the range of it tho, the fab is still super great with instant hit and “no range” limitation or good simple pistols

[finite bone]

Most griffins have garbage stars, but you do find some with good stats. Super rare though

[slate flower]

the tek rifle is for destroying walls

[pliant locust]

Only tek ones

[slate flower]

....

thats literaly what i said its like you dont read

[dim sun]

Any chance the garbage lighting on LI might be fixed or is Val an indication of how much they care about that...?

[pliant locust]

Well u initially replied/stated it to my comment about tek suits for general pvp-ing that it’s better to use the element for a tek rifle instead, now it’s about walls ?
Btw u didn’t say tek walls just “walls” that might give ppl the impression it’s good vs all, which is wrong

[pliant locust]

I interpret this as all walls

[slate flower]

its good for destroying any wall only the rocket launcher and a few specific dinos are better

at least among the hand held weapons

just because it only does 29 damage doesent mean 3 or 4 people cant just sit at a distance in cover firing at your base

[pliant locust]

Not really vs metal walls it does extra dmg to all tek structures so it’s a valid option instead of c4 to break tek walls.
Or costy but nice as it has ranged dmg that can’t be shot down unlike rockets

[slate flower]

and because your not using element to power pointless tek suits that cost a literal fortune in materials to make you can spend that element on your rifles

[tiny sentinel]

Hey, we are all friends here, let's work together and build a good community not a toxic one

Get a good defense dino, like a trike or stego

[dense furnace]

the loot was shit, but EIGHT levels from an alpha raptor??? that's awesome

what do you guys like to put most of your points into?

[pliant locust]

Well u realise how much good rifles cost? No one outside of Gen2 actually uses tek rifles vs metal structures as c4 is so much better/faster and cheaper to make. They can be super great situational but it’s range is about turret range so can’t do much with it unless like cheesing things etc

[slate flower]

health speed and weight

and a little stamina

[dense furnace]

what gun should i make after longneck?

[tiny sentinel]

I like having some speed and a tiny bit of better vrafting

[gilded forge]

What biome do you farm element on?

[tiny sentinel]

Fabricated shotgun

[misty turtle]

Character?

[gilded forge]

And how does it work o.o i know it has to do with shards

[pliant locust]

Shard usually, dust doesn’t yield that much

[tiny sentinel]

Extinction, or do you mean in genesis

[gilded forge]

i mean anywhere

[slate flower]

when your doing a seige against established people you dont want to be running up with C4 untill you empty there turrets

[gilded forge]

im trying to grind for element for my tribe

but idk where the element is at lol

i have an anky

[tiny sentinel]

What map are you on

[static fjord]

its usually behind bossfights.

[gilded forge]

atm im on valguero but i have all maps including the volcano in the cluster

[dense furnace]

how does a primitive saddle differ from an ascendant one?

[misty turtle]

Higher armor

[tiny sentinel]

Doing element defenses gives you the most

[misty turtle]

You can farm alpha boss val

[gilded forge]

im not that good @misty turtle

[misty turtle]

It 500 ele per run

[tiny sentinel]

On Extinction

[static fjord]

on valguero you need to grind the bosses for element, if you want a ton of element then go to gen 2.

[pliant locust]

If u wanna transfer it Ext has a lot of dust that drops from the veins, so that is nice and u can craft actual element into dust at terminals. Or just Gen2 for crafting things there, ele is pretty much free once u have a stryder and dedi boxes or even just carrying with the suit works well

[dense furnace]

i had no idea flak armor was so cheap to make

[misty turtle]

The easiest way is farm in volcano Gen 1

[gilded forge]

what biome in volcano

[misty turtle]

Gen2 space good but you dont know when it will come

[dense furnace]

i was expecting it to be ridiculously expensive

[static fjord]

no its gen 2.

[misty turtle]

Map Gen1

[gilded forge]

where in volcano *

ok so volcano gen 1

[static fjord]

theres red crystals scattered around in the volcano, they give some shards.

[misty turtle]

Gen 2 good but you dont know when it come

[slate flower]

yora you sound like a person whos never bin on a raid with more then 20 people

[gilded forge]

wdym i have less than 200 hours

[misty turtle]

It random

[pliant locust]

Says the person that wants to use tek rifles vs metal walls or rocket launchers xD

[static fjord]

yes thats why you wait, i assume he isnt in a rush to get it.

[gilded forge]

so Gen 1 Volcano Biome

[slate flower]

thats what you do in large raids...

[gilded forge]

there should be element there?

[misty turtle]

My friend been waiting a whole week for a element day xD

[pliant locust]

Ok bro

[misty turtle]

Yes it a red stone

[slate flower]

you use cheep armour thats easily replaced and you break there walls and turrets from range

[static fjord]

yes but gen 2 is way better.

[misty turtle]

But it not forever

And who know when you will get the element turn

[slate flower]

because your armours gonna break

[static fjord]

you can easily get thousands of full element per space biome.

[gilded forge]

i went to gen 2 i tried to get a voidwyrm

[slate flower]

and you need to crack there walls and pop there bags

[gilded forge]

The whales murdered me aggressively

[slate flower]

with aoe weapons

[static fjord]

just look for purple drops and that means element, or one of the colours.

[gilded forge]

i went there with a wyvern lol thinking i could shot gun the voidwyrm a few time

than ride one but i failed never even seen one

[misty turtle]

There 8 drop color

[gilded forge]

just a bunch of whales and let me tell you they dont like u

they are aggressive asf if u get off ur mount to shotgun them

[static fjord]

well obviously you shot them.

[gilded forge]

=/ well yeah but

[long flicker]

hallo

[misty turtle]

It not cycle it random it not forever rather farm in volcano it 100% get ele and more save then Gen2

[gilded forge]

i was attacking them with my wyvern they didnt even aggro @static fjord

so i got off my wyvern they all went for me lol

[misty turtle]

And he new

Go to Gen2 space if not carefull can die by voidwyrm

[gilded forge]

i died to the whales

never even seen a voidwyrm lol

[misty turtle]

Lucky it a whale not a voidwyrm

[long flicker]

astrocetus?

[static fjord]

and a volcano is a safer place? dudes gonna get blasted by magmasaurs.

[gilded forge]

no the other one

[misty turtle]

Have you learn tek suit engram?

[gilded forge]

the other whale their smaller

[long flicker]

those are dolphins

[long flicker]

*they're

[misty turtle]

You can alway lure them away

[long flicker]

they make big dolphin sounds and everything

[misty turtle]

And it not that hard to dodge

[gilded forge]

im just trying to go somewhere with an Anky and farm element

[static fjord]

okay so you cant lure away the rare voidwyrms?

[gilded forge]

;-;

[long flicker]

ok you guys have fun, I'll be busy living on the beach like the beach bob I am

[static fjord]

"not that hard to dodge" you arent gonna be dodging anything if youre sitting and mining red nodes.

[gilded forge]

no voidwyrms spawned i googled it said to kill the dolphins

[misty turtle]

You sure you can get element turn in Gen2?

[gilded forge]

so theres red nodes in gen 2 ?

[static fjord]

dont touch the dolphins.

no theyre blue

[gilded forge]

okay

[misty turtle]

And not crytal,black Pearl or some thing

[static fjord]

if youre in space and see blue crystal nodes that means element.

[misty turtle]

Beside anky what creature you have

[gilded forge]

i have many i have wyverns monkeys tek rex stegos uh a deer daedons

[misty turtle]

Have you fight boss yet?

[gilded forge]

um deinochonys and rock drakes i didnt grab all these tho my tribe mates are better

we did beta dragon tonight

we have a trik to

[misty turtle]

If not i think you should focus fight boss and after that worry about farm element

[gilded forge]

well we need to get element for the replicator my tribe said

[static fjord]

i agree.

[long flicker]

then let your tribe worry about it

[misty turtle]

Boss give element

[long flicker]

you're not at the level that you need or can get element yourself

[pliant locust]

Throwing in a semi good Giga (unridden u will take dmg by the magmasaur AOE) into the volcanic pit can work if u have one
Keep in mind u cannot transfer element tho

[static fjord]

oh then just get some element from extinction, replicator doesnt require much.

[misty turtle]

If you can

[gilded forge]

we dont have any gigas because their level 40 and my tribemate said they suck honestly i think their good either way

[misty turtle]

Make a base in Extinction

[misty turtle]

Your tribemate is a bob

When say gigan suck

[static fjord]

i mean theyre level 40, they do kinda suck.

[frank heath]

yeah you want a giga like 120+

[long flicker]

bruh

[pliant locust]

Yea gigas are amazing for taking things down the dmg is unmatched, but don’t tame any that are lower than like 120 or the dmg will be under 100% after tame

[long flicker]

no, I'm not his tribemate

[gilded forge]

i dont know what to do now lol do i go to exctintion gen 1 or gen 2

[misty turtle]

After fight dragon done i suggest make base in Ex so you and your tribe can farm ele

[static fjord]

your choice all of them are solid options

[misty turtle]

😂 not you

Not bobster 646

[long flicker]

I am The One True Bob

[static fjord]

extinction has medium amounts of element but difficult depending on your tames, gen 1 has good element but in a very dangerous area and gen 2 has a ton of safe element but you need to pray you get the element space biome.

[long flicker]

damn right he ain't
I'm bobster646

[misty turtle]

You just a clone of bob your id number is 646

Arks have Bob DNA

[gilded forge]

@static fjord thanks and how does those elements work? im new but not stupid i know its not pure element its something i need to turn into element

how does one equal to element?

[static fjord]

shards? 100 shards = 1 full element

[misty turtle]

1 element= 100 shard= 1000 dust

[slate flower]

the best way to generate element isent mineing it

[misty turtle]

Dust is tranferable

[pliant locust]

Shards can be crafted into element without loss in a replicator. U can get dust which is transferable, unlike shards and element

[misty turtle]

The other not tranferable

[slate flower]

its to make a baby tek dino grinder

[dense furnace]

raptor seems unaffected by my bola, did i just bot spin it around enough?

[static fjord]

before you turn anything to full element you need to turn it into dust, because dust is transferabble

[gilded forge]

oh

[static fjord]

you lose some element everytime you convert element to dust and back though.

[misty turtle]

Or lucky enough get a pair of dust gacha

[slate flower]

you build a hatchery then set it up to kill the dinos

[gilded forge]

whats a dust gacha?

[slate flower]

then collect the dust

[static fjord]

its a gacha that drops element dust crystals

[misty turtle]

Gacha that product element dust

[gilded forge]

ok so i have to get a gacha?

[static fjord]

imo one of the worst options, its so slow but its a good way to get some passive element

[misty turtle]

It rare those, although i already kill some of them

It for afk player

Gacha tower borrn

Easy element just need to sit and wait

[slate flower]

imo gachas are only really good for stuff you dont need in vast quantitys unless you have S+ and can use the gacha stuff to automate it

[dense furnace]

what should i name my trike

[pliant locust]

Finding them through taming is super unlikely tho, u can breed Gachas as the babies have random rolls of resources produced so getting multiple gachas urself is probably faster when breeding.
Raising the Gacha babies is a whole other story tho as they aren’t easy to raise / don’t need food if in render

[misty turtle]

What is the color

[dense furnace]

orangey red

[misty turtle]

Hmm

[static fjord]

name it egg sandwich

[rich mango]

What animal collects the most fiber?

[dense furnace]

my working name is liberty

[misty turtle]

Flame horn

[dense furnace]

idk who gets the most but moschops get alot

[misty turtle]

Therizi for sure

[static fjord]

therizinos, gigantopithecus, moschops, dire bears etc

[misty turtle]

What do you think?@dense furnace

[static fjord]

best option is defintitely theri early game.

[misty turtle]

Flame horn

[misty turtle]

No therizi is not for early

That monkey

[static fjord]

what

[dense furnace]

i wanna name her something more gentle than flame horn

[misty turtle]

Early game i mean

[static fjord]

theri is so easy to tame though.

[misty turtle]

Why you dont say her first part

[dense furnace]

i quite like liberty even tho she isnt green

[misty turtle]

😂

[misty turtle]

The wait

[static fjord]

the wait???

[misty turtle]

Take forever rather tame monkey or moschop

[static fjord]

you get more than just fiber out of a theri though, unlike the other 2.

[dense furnace]

theris are really good all-rounders

[pliant locust]

Gigantopithecus is easy to tame it’s just passive feeding and no saddle needed, low level one is really nice to get very early on

[misty turtle]

Early that is good enough

[dense furnace]

they can get hide, berries, and fiber and its good at combat

[slate flower]

my favorite tame for the early game is a moschops

[static fjord]

early game you probably dont need that much fiber so im really talking about early-mid game here

[slate flower]

gets you barrrys

[misty turtle]

And the saddle is 69 how it call early game

[slate flower]

and polymer

[misty turtle]

😂

[slate flower]

and a ghille

[pliant locust]

Unless u are unlucky and find leechblood 10x in a row 😦

[misty turtle]

Yeah moschop with karkinos clone farm is the best

[static fjord]

level doesnt matter, you can be level 105 and be stuck in the beaches.

[slate flower]

once you have your ghillie you can tame stronger gatherers and meatfarming dinos

[misty turtle]

Ghillie i only wear to tame bee

I usually just naked

[slate flower]

then you can think about traping a rex/spino/giga and start breeding them

[pliant locust]

I tent them xD
Such obnoxious tames haven’t done it in a while as I still have spares luckily

[slate flower]

then start getting what you need to run bosses with somthing like a bary

[misty turtle]

Bary for boss sound kind of hmm...

[pliant locust]

Baryonix for bossfight ?

[slate flower]

i dident say fight bosses

i said gather

[misty turtle]

Ah forget to read that part

My bad

[slate flower]

barys stun makes then incredibly good at collecting alpha drops

[long flicker]

that'd be some serious dedication

[misty turtle]

Hmm

Bary

Fuck i need to tame more dinos, sometime forget most of them exist

[delicate harbor]

kibble and cndaria poison are easy to get not quick for a bob tho, also trapping and tranqing, unless its like a level 10

[long flicker]

why would you need bio toxin

[slate flower]

just tame the theri with mejoberrys

[long flicker]

theri with mejos is a big, big pain

[slate flower]

not really

[long flicker]

I'd much rather wait till I have a good source of kibble

[long flicker]

have fun spending 2 hours taming a theri, but I don't want to

[pliant locust]

Well tons of narcos and like 1-3 hours

[delicate harbor]

because its super useful and narcs take a moment for a bob

[slate flower]

you trank it surround it with spikes or walls then come back to it well you do other things

[long flicker]

I feel like for a bob, berries would be more useful than biotoxin

[pliant locust]

Tranq time is short in it

[slate flower]

mark it with your tracker

[long flicker]

it has a relatively fast torpor drop, you have to babysit it

[delicate harbor]

cant leave a theri

[craggy granite]

Is There Any Way To Hatch An Egg Besides Having 2 Species Mate?

[long flicker]

"hatch" or produce one?

[craggy granite]

Hatch

[slate flower]

you can leave it for 5 or 6 minutes at a time

[long flicker]

you don't need dinos to hatch an egg

[craggy granite]

Wait Is It Possible To Hatch Eggs That You Took

[long flicker]

you just need it to have the proper temperature

[slate flower]

high level means you have more time before you have to fillit back up with narcotics/narcoberrys

[long flicker]

wild eggs apart from egg steal tames are all unfertilized
meaning they're lunch, not pets

[long flicker]

that's pretty much babysitting

[pliant locust]

14 mins at max for about 3h then on officials

[long flicker]

you basically have to go afk for those 3 hours

[pliant locust]

Absolute pain and like thousands of narcos needed too don’t do it with berries

[craggy granite]

Ah I See

[long flicker]

berries are much better than bio toxin for keeping a dino down

[pliant locust]

Yes I meant taming food berries for the therizi xD

[long flicker]

ah

[rugged pewter]

Anyone know the best way me and my friends can play ark together in our own world?

[long flicker]

yeah, just wait till you get an easy food source

[slate flower]

when its already asleep inside a hut narcobarrys should be in abundance

[delicate harbor]

i dont even bother with theris unless i need a dragon down

[craggy granite]

Is There A Way To Get A Free Ark On PC
Im Playing In Mobile And Its Quiet Stressful

[delicate harbor]

renting a cluster

[long flicker]

you can
rent a server
host a server
host a non dedicated

[pliant locust]

Taming a therizi with berries is never a good idea. Low level ones are outclassed by good bears and high lvl ones aren’t worth to be berry tames

[delicate harbor]

^

[slate flower]

also i tend to literaly tame everything around the thery well im waiting

[long flicker]

there is not
EGS was giving away ark for free once but I highly doubt that'll happen again
mobile has a different discord server since it's pretty much a different game

[rugged pewter]

Can i host and play a server on the same machine?

[long flicker]

if you have a good enough computer, then yeah

[craggy granite]

Sadgeee

[misty turtle]

Feel like your pc will get fire when do that

[long flicker]

16 GB is suggested for a smooth experience of self hosting

[rugged pewter]

yeah i got 16GB

[long flicker]

but you can also
host non dedicated (so your friend joins you in your singleplayer)
or host on a different pc

[pliant locust]

But 16 just for the server I imagine

[craggy granite]

How Big Is Ark Pc?

[long flicker]

125 without the DLC's 400 with all of them

[pliant locust]

On steam 400 gb roughly with all DLCs

[craggy granite]

Bruh

[long flicker]

nah I mean 16 for playing yourself and hosting it for others

as long as it's a small group, it should be good

[craggy granite]

125? I Die Bro

Phone ONly 5 GB I Think

[long flicker]

@placid sundial you have experience with hosting your own server, right?

[craggy granite]

:Dead:

[pliant locust]

Wow didn’t check ram consumption of ark actually, that’s like actually pretty “low” then nowadays I feel, nice

[long flicker]

I have 8GB and run it relatively smoothly

I can't host a server like that but I can play on my own with that much ram at least

[placid sundial]

YOU SUMMON ME WHEN I CANNOT SEE

[long flicker]

lmao

[pliant locust]

I got 32 so I never bothered checking just the random crazy GPU usage is totally out of order with that badly optimized code

[placid sundial]

Or talk consistently. Yes to a degree

I'm more familiar with the config side of things since my router doesn't support port forwarding I wwasnt abld to run it myself

[long flicker]

port forwarding is so annoying

[placid sundial]

What was the question?

[long flicker]

I did it with minecraft servers once, spent like 3 hours on it

[olive egret]

what router do you have?

[long flicker]

they wanted ways to play iwth their friend

[pliant locust]

I had that with Warcraft 3 lobbies hosting, especially fun when using host bots :S

[placid sundial]

No guarantee I'll be able to respond in the next 30 years depending on how my internet feels but

[long flicker]

finally in the end I managed to port forward properly and my friend could connect

[placid sundial]

Optus something, was like 2 years ago now so i don't remember exactly

[olive egret]

gotcha

[placid sundial]

After 2 days of pain I took a google at the model and all I could find was other people who also couldn't get it to work

[long flicker]

and then we never played together, ever again till now

[long flicker]

this was the original question

I suggested dedicated servers, since while they're a bigger pain to set up, they're better for playing

[placid sundial]

Yep

Nondedi is inconsistent as fuck

Don't regret the switch from nondedi to dedi I took for the rare occasions I play with people

[long flicker]

ha noob, I just don't play with people

[placid sundial]

That's usually the case for me but I do on occasion play with a few people lol

[pliant locust]

Well I guess best would be renting a dedicated server, cheapest / low effort non dedi but it’s buggy as u see by so many ppl asking here daily about it. U will also have a tether limitation so ur friends can’t freely move around the map if u aren’t close by.

Setting up your own server separately is nice you can do it on another PC / semi good notebook if u have it
Or opt of official / unofficial servers and tribe up
@BeastieNate5#6243

[slate flower]

ok

the ice cave is BS

[placid sundial]

Best is self hosted imo

[slate flower]

so i go into the ice cave

and theres a hole so i figure lets graple down

[placid sundial]

Server hosts come with their own random bullshit. Self hosted I best if you have the specs for the amount of people and mods you want to play with

[slate flower]

and then i go down not 2 feet and take 5k damage and die

[misty turtle]

That a dead hole

[placid sundial]

More complex setup but it's free and free of random bs so still in the end better

[pliant locust]

Defo esp when u have like older parts of the gaming PC it’s nice and easy to make a somewhat makeshift construction PC low budget for hosting, I did it in a wooden box for another game lol

[craggy granite]

For Defend, Theres 2 Choice, Neutral And Passive, Whats The Difference Between Them?

[long flicker]

you pinged me but not them

[misty turtle]

There some hole like that in ice cave island

[static fjord]

passive dinos dont attack, neutral ones attack if they get hit first.

[placid sundial]

Yep, don't even need another pc either though. Can play off the same machine you host on even

[slate flower]

like that was the biggest peice of bullshit i have encountered in my fucking life and the fact that the ark devs allow you to do that is not even trolling its just unfun

[pliant locust]

Yes I know I replied to you but the weird account they use as name is un ping able for me on my phone I tried lmao

[craggy granite]

Okay Thanks

[slate flower]

like i get the pegos and the birds there a way of making you more aware of your surroundings

[long flicker]

are you talking about purlovia?

[slate flower]

but making instant death holes is objectivly an unfun and unfair mechanic

[silent matrix]

does anyone have a tek rex female egg i can trade for giga im on pve crystal isles 840

[slate flower]

like ark encourages you to explore the island

[long flicker]

oh those

[pliant locust]

I had to separate it eventually tho lol, I have a 1080 and like some other gaming gear plugged in, didn’t want my main machine to be powered 24/7 (for both Power Consumption as well as degrading parts) just for my lazy ass friends xD

[long flicker]

you can grapple your body back to you I think

[slate flower]

i havent bin this tilted since i lost a league game i got 22 kills in

[placid sundial]

Yeah fair for something running always its best to have that separate machine for sure. Server I play on we're all used to singleplayer anyway so shutting it down when we're not playing works well lol

[slate flower]

like how the fuck do i get all my gear back

[lone osprey]

ive made a sacrificial pit should i fill this shit with wild terror birds raptors allos or kapros

[long flicker]

^

[long flicker]

they'd disappear in 5 minutes

[lone osprey]

im aware im gonna throw someone in rn lol

[long flicker]

oh you meant living ones

tamed or wild?

[slate flower]

you dont even need to put wild ones in

put in tamed titanaboas

[lone osprey]

i know its just a bit funny

[olive egret]

these nests havent spawned a single egg in 2 hours

[pliant locust]

Haha I’m too much a donkey head for that, same/ one of the main reasons why I stay solo on official servers as I don’t want others dictate or impact my play style too much, sometimes I do not feel like ark for some days/weeks or only at strange times so my friends wouldn’t put up with this xD

[slate flower]

or try to fill it with the scorpion things that torpor you

[olive egret]

tons of wipes, slomo speed ups, rendering, still nada

[misty turtle]

If pve check some shop to buy tek rex line

[slate flower]

not the actual scorpions

[lone osprey]

oh my god wait ur a mf genius i never thought of that

[long flicker]

wild ones would despawn

[slate flower]

the ones that live in the water

[lone osprey]

im gonna do scorpions and boas..

boas are so annoying to tame this is gonna fucking suck lmao

[placid sundial]

Ahh I see lmao. I'm the same for almost the opposite reason lol, I usually feel way too worried about impacting other people to play MP

[long flicker]

donkey head
that's a first

[slate flower]

also fun fact a argy with decent health can pick up a titanaboa and avoid getting bit to much

[olive egret]

even without a lot of health you wont get bit much

[pliant locust]

Ohh that’s actually an interesting POV too, I mean I kinda know that I do not function well or be all happy when I can’t do the things I like in online games in the order I like them, so I wanna spare others that ^^

[slate flower]

im pretty shure the water scorpions would knock out the argy though

[lone osprey]

they can pick up the snakes?

[olive egret]

yup

[slate flower]

yes

[olive egret]

and they regen hp after killing things too

[slate flower]

you can just swoop by and grab them

[long flicker]

I feel like impacting others is kind of the point

[lone osprey]

oh my god i always walked back my boas when taming im so fucking dumb

[olive egret]

just watch for kapros

[long flicker]

but I don't play with others much because I just do better solo

[lone osprey]

kapros genuinely terrify me i never go into the swamp just the edge

[long flicker]

they become less terrifying once you own a big dino

[pliant locust]

Eksn Afrikaaner (half at least xD) there is an expression that goes something like sturdy / “bullheadedly” as a donkey lol

[lone osprey]

anyone know the year theyre releasing the animated ark series? was it next year or

[slate flower]

Eurypterid< these are what you wanna fill your pit with

[long flicker]

either this or next year
I forgot

[olive egret]

this S+ mutator is awesome, get a female of the mut you need, make it a dude lol

[lone osprey]

the scorpion lookin things?

[slate flower]

yes

[lone osprey]

they genuinely terrify me idc what dino i have theyre so fucking scary

dont they do insane torpor

[long flicker]

if I went about doing my own thing then I'd be holding the others back, but I Don't always want to do exactly what they're doing
So I just don't play with others

[slate flower]

i mean they inflict like 600 torpor

[lone osprey]

like every hit?

[slate flower]

the only way to really handle them is with the giant squid

[lone osprey]

cuz im pretty sure scorpions have a limit on how many hits do torpor

[long flicker]

basilos are also torpor immune iirc

[slate flower]

but they cant carry them

[olive egret]

yeah theyre like super good in ocean

[lone osprey]

true

[slate flower]

the squid can

[long flicker]

carried or not carried, if end result is "Dead"
then they're handled properly I'd say

[pliant locust]

Pretty much the same here, and I HATE having to do certain things at certain times, like sometimes I don’t feel like getting metal refilled and then I don’t use anything that requires it until I eventually spend some days on Ab bringing back some slot caps etc ^^

[slate flower]

just build your scorpion cage were the squid can reach and then lead them into it

[lone osprey]

im gonna try lol

[slate flower]

extra points if you can keep the people alive

[lone osprey]

worst case scenario i switch to boas

[slate flower]

well the scorpion fucks with them

[olive egret]

add at least like 2-4 araneo

[lone osprey]

im honna do what i always do tranq em and leave em to my dinos lol

[olive egret]

cause the webs are fun

[lone osprey]

oh my god wait yes..

[slate flower]

you cant tranq Eurypterid

[lone osprey]

i forgot araneos existed
