[finite bone]

Rex?

[long flicker]

rexes, spinos, theris, are all good choices

[finite bone]

Spino would be my #1 of at all wet

[glass mural]

Yeah will try to find a Spino

[finite bone]

That buff is no joke

[long flicker]

spinos are great for transport

[glass mural]

if i can't i'm going for rex

[long flicker]

they're my go to dino on ab after ravager

[finite bone]

I'm a bit of an argy fool

[long flicker]

ab doesn't have any fliers, that's why lol

[finite bone]

Yeah

[wispy frigate]

.

[long flicker]

bruuuuuh

[finite bone]

I have a fleet of bag named argy with so much carry weight... Dunno how I'll do it on ab

[glass mural]

my favorites dinos might be Thyl, Managarmr and thicc turtle

[long flicker]

I've had a lot of argies

horus, garuda, Sargent tina, and more unnamed ones

[finite bone]

Sino, Argy, Mana in that order for me

[glass mural]

Mana is extremelly fun to travel in

[long flicker]

oh, speaking of sino

[finite bone]

My first is always Diamond, still have both originals and we have had some adventures lol

[long flicker]

there we go

[wispy frigate]

omg no don’t nerf the sino!!!!!!!!

[finite bone]

Why nerf sino?!

[glass mural]

Bad Ending: they nerfed Sino

[long flicker]

because OPness

don't worry, my opinion is very unpopular
they won't do it

[glass mural]

Neutral Ending: they re-balanced Sino

[finite bone]

Nah, just remove stam gen on parachute mode and call it good

[glass mural]

Good Ending: they made Sino twice as bigger and have double health

[long flicker]

though what I want more than sino nerf is an archa buff

hence why archa love is before sino nerf, because it's more important

[finite bone]

What's your ideal health? My sino breed at 52hp wild which is like 1.1k out of the gate.

[glass mural]

can i tell you a secret

[finite bone]

Sure

[long flicker]

alright got bored now

[glass mural]

As long as it doesn't die from my sword it works

[finite bone]

Lol

[glass mural]

I miss being able to go in xbox servers

they're so fun

[finite bone]

Mess with people?

[glass mural]

Op stats

[finite bone]

Ah

[glass mural]

ok found a 290 spino

[finite bone]

Nice, decent wilds?

[glass mural]

yeah

max 300, how do i trap it

[finite bone]

Awesome

[glass mural]

it just killed a platypus

[finite bone]

Uhhhh rex/yut trap but maybe bigger

4x4 stone foundation, 2 high stone doorways, ramp to the top

[glass mural]

alr

[finite bone]

I love that trap it works for everything but Ovis.... Not sure why, the wiley weirdos

Can probably use doors

[glass mural]

god i'm a dumbass, almost died

[finite bone]

Lol

Got too close?

[glass mural]

yeah

imma just watch a tutorial lol

[finite bone]

Good lord I bet his torp is like 20k

Wait 290? 30k

[glass mural]

yea

it's x3.5

torp

[finite bone]

OOOOOF

Hope you have a lot of shock darts lol

[glass mural]

got 212 normal ones and like 700% rifle

but gotta go head sleep so i'll try tomorrow lol, cya guys, thanks for the help

[finite bone]

Take care

[glass mural]

You too

[runic ruin]

3x3 all the way.

[long flicker]

yep
4x4 is a waste of space and resources

[runic ruin]

What u trying to tame?

[runic ruin]

With a 3x3 trap u can make it on a raft n move ya tame away from hostile shit that could agro onto it

I use raft trap to tame most my rexs

N alot of other land Dino's tbh lol works great for carnivores as can park up near swamp n meatrun prime when there's no kibble available or no alphas nearby

[heavy pawn]

i’ve been told i can do the gamma gen 2 fight with a single reaper but would i able to do it with 1 boss rex instead? it’s all i have at the moment lol

[civic jewel]

How do I get more chibis?

[solemn bronze]

On official?

[civic jewel]

SP, internet too horrible to play on official

[red sleet]

question. In the unofficial server settings there is "xp multiplier" and then there is different spacific xp multiplier options. Will the first "xp multiplier" one effect all others even if I don't change the spacific ones?

[solemn bronze]

You can add them to loot drops through ini code. Or spawn them in. I think you can also enable an event where you craft them in a cooking pot as well

Otherwise wait til official event (Valentine’s Day on the 9th coming up) which will make them enabled on SP during that time

[civic jewel]

I know 0 of coding, I'm afraid I'll screw up the entire game

[solemn bronze]

I use beacon and it writes the code for me.

😂

[civic jewel]

lol

[solemn bronze]

There’s different types of multipliers. Harvest rate, harvest health, character xp and for different things like killing/crafting/special things (explorer notes)/idle.

I usually take my time and make adjustments and then play. If I don’t like it then I go back in and adjust again and see if it’s better.

[red sleet]

I mean there is a harvest xp, craft xp, kill xp, and a xp multiplier. If I just change the xp multiplier (the one that doesn't specify anything), will that effect all the other ones.

[tacit cloak]

Can’t tame dung nettles in caves lost island?

[craggy vale]

Ark ps4 cant even handle 2000 turrets big sad

[lyric light]

Hello every one!
Does anybody know how to calculate large ferox melee points?

[long flicker]

good question

[silent matrix]

My streams have somehow been turned into all about dodos lol

[runic ruin]

Alot of cave tames can't be tamed.

[vestal pewter]

Is there actually any loot in the North West cave on The Island? I’m getting highly conflicting information from everywhere.

[sharp jackal]

Im gonna seal my spino on a cryopod and cryofridge on feb 7, should I put the cryofridge on the graves of my beloved dinos? Or somewhere else?

[dense swift]

does anyone know a good PvP server that just got wiprd ?

[fluid brook]

Take a role in #role-assignment 1nd you'll be able to see channels for that

[dense swift]

ok thx

[west kraken]

so lucky

i need yunjin i have yumiya

[misty turtle]

Yunjin C6 go bruh

[fluid brook]

Np

[prisma star]

Ragnarok

fr i cant join it

[slim yacht]

do u get the glitch as well?

[slim yacht]

where it brings u to store page

[prisma star]

steam site

[slim yacht]

yeah same to me

stupid glitch

[prisma star]

i wanna play ragna so much cuz i have online lessons

and nothing to do

[long flicker]

download centre and it'll fix it

[prisma star]

also

somehow after the patch the game became so laggy for me

at extinction like 20 days ago i could get 60 fps at mine settings now i cant get 10

[silent matrix]

All in one place?!

[craggy vale]

Yea

[prisma star]

YEA i didnt download it just added to libary

and it works

[long dome]

Is ark gonna be removed from xbox gamepass?

[tacit ginkgo]

Whats the best thing to buy with hexagon points?

[solemn bronze]

Cementing paste or cryopods lol

Also meat

[tacit ginkgo]

aight thanks

[misty turtle]

Hexagon point best is buy red loot crate if you have ton of point you can get very OP stuff

[solemn bronze]

That too.

[long flicker]

gambling with crates

[tacit ginkgo]

So it is worth to get the crates?

Do I get goot armor from it and guns?

[long flicker]

if you get them in bulk

[tacit ginkgo]

oh i see

[long flicker]

you can get some good shit and a lot of useless shit

hence why, gambling

[tacit ginkgo]

So thats why I should be rich if i want to buy them

[long flicker]

yeah

[long flicker]

though I've seen some insane shit
and unlimited useless shit

[tacit ginkgo]

XDDD

[long flicker]

@paper nimbus blue aren't worth it, purples need a lot of gigas or the ice titan

[paper nimbus]

Yikes. I really need to start taming giga

[long flicker]

ice titan for farming xp and farming them a lot

you can do purples without ice titan if you have decent gigas

[paper nimbus]

So I guess I’ll just trap em with a ring of metal gates, that’s my best plan for taming gigas

[long flicker]

*metal billboards

reject gates, use billboard

[paper nimbus]

Weirdly enough there are no SS/S+ Billboards

[long flicker]

doesn't matter
make regular ones

[paper nimbus]

Ye that’s how I tamed my first abberant megalo

[long flicker]

good, good

oh btw what happened with aberration

[fringe mauve]

yo guys I am trying to start my own mega tribe in PVP official, do you think that is possible?

[long flicker]

ask in #pvp-discussion people there actually play pvp

[paper nimbus]

I’ve been exploring the blue zone a lot, got a pretty crap spino

[long flicker]

I see

[paper nimbus]

And I got a catapult ready for the crab

Now to find a decent level and make a trap

[long flicker]

so you're doing both at once?

[paper nimbus]

I’ll make the trap pieces first obvs, then I’ll set out to find a decent one

[long flicker]

no I mean both ext and ab

[paper nimbus]

Oooooohhhh ye I’m doing both because why not. I took a short break from ab so was like hey why not try ext

[long flicker]

I see

[proud crypt]

what happend to conquest server? i have 2-3 months to join ark

[paper nimbus]

Btw bob, how are you enjoying ext

[long flicker]

I'm not on ext

I'm on the island, killing alpha raptors and taming pteranodons

[paper nimbus]

Oh, right

[paper nimbus]

So what level are ya

[long flicker]

40

[paper nimbus]

frog time

[tardy panther]

My lvl 260+ mosa was just killed to cnidaria. How’s your day been?

[silent matrix]

Shit

[tardy panther]

And to make matters worse it was killed by t h r e e o f t h e m

[long flicker]

and this is why we say
FUCK cnidaria
All my homies hate cnidaria

[tardy panther]

My mosa has 26k hp at the time

Died in less than 30 seconds

I wish I was exaggerating that

[long flicker]

I plan on getting a basilo exceptionally quickly so I don't end up regretting going into the ocea

[eager knoll]

Damn

[tardy panther]

I would use basillos but they just aren’t very quick

Don’t do masses of damage either

They have a lot of hp and heal quickly but dinos naturally heal quick on the server I’m on

[paper nimbus]

Basilos are the best. Nice guys but they hang out with a rough group

[paper nimbus]

I see it as a necessary trade off so Cnidaria can burn in hell

[tardy panther]

I guess a tuso would be a good option

They can withstand the effect of cnidaria right?

[paper nimbus]

They still get slowed down

[tardy panther]

Do you get dismounted when on them?

[long flicker]

no

[long flicker]

the insane health makes up for the lack of damage

[misty turtle]

When a jelly fish stronger than a alpha predator

[craggy mauve]

My magmasur was at 20% maturation before I realized I’m 25 levels away from unlocking the saddle 🥲

[glass schooner]

There is a reason the brainless shits still exist today

[long flicker]

and yet the smallest shit eats that brainless shit

a type of sea slug eats jellyfishes and stores their toxin to use as its own

[glass schooner]

Cycle of life baby

[long flicker]

and also looks really pretty

[glass schooner]

The disco one lmao?

[long flicker]

do you have any idea how little that narrows it down

it's pretty much a rule of life, if it's really colourful, it's probably poisonous

[glass schooner]

Which is why some animals reverse catfish you by being bright with no threat

[long flicker]

jellyfishes are also not like they are in ark since in ark for some reason the fuckers have invisible eyes

[long flicker]

yep, and it works

[long flicker]

they have an insane aggro range for no reason

[glass schooner]

Yeah need to be nerfed a little

But what do i care i dont even play ark anymore lmao

Solo is too slow

[long flicker]

a few jellyfishes do have primitive eyes actually

[long flicker]

rate change be like

[glass schooner]

I hope ark 2 is more optimized

[long flicker]

hopefully

@tough yarrow since it's unclear, I'm assuming that it doesn't work until proven otherwise

[tough yarrow]

It works on xbox and steam for me.

[pastel hemlock]

Yo, guys!

I think dire wolfs are amazing and I've decided to breed them.

What stats should I be aiming for before getting down to business

[misty turtle]

You can get saddle in loot

[silent matrix]

hey guys if iam summoning the boss with my friend do both of us need the items???

[craggy mauve]

On lost island?

[misty turtle]

No

In Gen2

[craggy mauve]

I’m on a non cluster server

[misty turtle]

If you in LI then rip

Grind level by kill baby dinos ig

[proud crypt]

what happend to conquest servers? i have 2-3 months to join ark

[craggy mauve]

Is there a list that specifies what items come in supply crates on certain maps

[olive egret]

i thought snail produced paste passively?

[long flicker]

they do

if they're on wander

[olive egret]

mine is making organic polymer in the soul terminal lol

[long flicker]

they make both

[olive egret]

oh? noice

[long flicker]

they make polymer too slow to be useful

[olive egret]

makes sense

[paper nimbus]

Y’know on ark mobile there’s a really unfair exploit where if u leave the game then come back achatinas will be full of cp and polymer

[long flicker]

damn

[solemn bronze]

One of the few things ark mobile has that would be cool

[long flicker]

eh, exploits are very meh

[solemn bronze]

I meant it collecting it in its own inventory. But I also want their decor options. Ark doesn’t have much in terms of decorations meant to be decorations

[olive egret]

so many stegos at this lake right now, i hit one like 8 will come lol

[rich fox]

Is Dododex being unreliable for anyone else on lost island? The stats are coming out way off

[misty turtle]

You mean for the amargasaur

[long flicker]

keep in mind it doesn't work for tamed dinos

[rich fox]

I noticed it for Baryonyx is where I noticed it’s off

Wild Dino showed very bad stats, but ended up with stats in the 30’s

[misty turtle]

What do you mean

You mean it have higher stats than wild?

[rich fox]

Well like they keep showing lots of wasted point. But when tamed and bred. They have higher stats

[long flicker]

dododex was just calculating stats incorrectly

it specifies that it doesn't work for tamed stats

[misty turtle]

Yeah

[long flicker]

but calculators like ASB do, though I prefer to calculate stats myself

[rich fox]

I said a wild Dino

[misty turtle]

I use ark smartbreeding

[long flicker]

asb is ark smart breeder

[rich fox]

And then after take

After tame

I’ve been using Dododex a year and know how it works. You Tranq a Dino and check stats. The thing is it’s giving out the wrong numbers

[long flicker]

that is still possible

[olive egret]

ya know, with some of these trees on Ab, they could have added an aberrant thyla

[long flicker]

their point was to have drakes be the only climber on ab

[olive egret]

i get that

[solemn bronze]

What do you mean it’s giving out wrong numbers?

[olive egret]

decent level doeds been hard to find lately, everything sub 50, and only seen one anky in like 10hrs lol

@long flicker 2000 into capacity and the rest into regen for glow dog right?

[long flicker]

any amount you feel comfortable with, I feel better with 2500 or 3k, you might prefer only 1500

but once you reach a comfortable capacity, rest into regen

[uneven venture]

there is both at the western shore right near the snow biome

[olive egret]

oh, im on Aberration sorry

some spawn right by my base, but so far theyve only been low level

speak of the devil, found a 156 that was charging at a basilisk eating a 24 lol

[rich fox]

@solemn bronze when i look at baryonxy in the wild (after tranqing) their stats are way off from what they become after tamed. like a have a baryonyx that showed very low stats and a lot of wasted, but it ended up with 36 health and another with 37 melee

theri too one showed like 22 points in health but ended up with 46

[solemn bronze]

Are you on official or a dedi?

[rich fox]

offical lost island

[solemn bronze]

Hmm that is strange. There is an option at the bottom of the screen to Report Data Error

[bold garden]

Is this the place to ask questions?

[solemn bronze]

I’d definitely let them know if something is off so it can get fixed

[solemn bronze]

Depends on the question 😂

[bold garden]

Well I'm experiencing frame drops crashes. Assuming it's related to like 10000 creatures spawning and acting at once but idk

[solemn bronze]

Yea that would do it. Frame rate drops when lots of creatures spawn quickly or when you are near a giant glass structure

[bold garden]

There a way around it? I've been trying to slowly kill all the creatures, then retreating and go a step further. But it seems I've hit a wall now, where a few seconds after entering a specific area it crashes every time, even when none of the creatures aggro

It's a great shame as well since I'm somewhat new and this is currently the only cave I've found so far. I'd hate to skip it just because of technical difficulties

[solemn bronze]

Are you on official?

[bold garden]

Nah single player

Glad I am coz it allows me to safe scum this problem

[magic trench]

Im on win 10 and with gamepass it says I have the season pass but when i enter ark it tells me I have to buy it even though I have it installed, anyone know how to fix this?

[solemn bronze]

Ah okay. What is your dino count at?

[bold garden]

Idk. You mean how many i have tamed? I guess around 30-35. Not taking any with me tho, I'm just riding a baryonyx that's it

[solemn bronze]

No, in the general settings for single player

[bold garden]

Oh. Dunno. Default setting i guess since I never changed anything

I have a base near the cave. Do creatures countinuously spawn when the player is on the nearby? Because the amount of stuff I had to slaughter on there were frankly absurd. Literally like 30 Crocs, 200 snakes, 50 piranhas, 20 ducks, lord knows how many spiders and scorpions. And that's just the very first room. Rather small one

[solemn bronze]

Are you on the island?

[bold garden]

Center

[solemn bronze]

Ah. Yea being near caves means lots and lots of Dino’s that respawn quickly

[bold garden]

Just tried looking to the ground the whole time while slowly inching forward, drawing a few aggros at a time. Works moderately well. Crashes 2/3 times. Hopefully it gets better soon

[hoary totem]

Hello

[long flicker]

hallo

[hoary totem]

do someone wants to play small tribes EU

[long flicker]

there's a recruitment channel, ask there

you can't see it without a role #role-assignment

[silent matrix]

Unclaimed bby wyvern die to fire?

[junior compass]

Anyone in here that had the name 10k

[glass mural]

Reasons to download Valguero:
to uninstall it

(this is a joke don't get offended)

[long flicker]

D:

[glass mural]

na i think valguero is cool lol

but there's so much redwood and dangerous places

it's hard to not get lost sometimes trying to find something, even with map

the only thing you can remember is where the chalk cliffs are

[spare panther]

Is there anyway to boost level rates without mods cuz I cannot find a yutyrannus above level 70 and I have it on max difficulty

[dense furnace]

i dont think so. Some maps will have higher concentrations but i dont think you can do much else

[stiff moat]

i have a question can someone help?

[dense furnace]

possibly

[long flicker]

ask your question, don't ask for permission to ask your question

[dense furnace]

^

[long flicker]

you can go to other maps, free DLC maps and gen 1 and 2 have MUCH better level distribution than the other maps

[stiff moat]

how i get rotten meat easily

[glass mural]

oh, there is one

[long flicker]

split stacks of regular meat before they're about to spoil

[dense furnace]

have multiple stacks of meat so you have multiple sources

[long flicker]

just split them on your own

[dense furnace]

nvm listen to him idk what im talking about

[static fjord]

dependihg on your map you can also kill vultures, they drop tons of spoiled meat considering how common they are.

[glass mural]

@spare panther I know one but i'm not quite sure if it'll help you at all

[spare panther]

What

[stiff moat]

thx <3

[long flicker]

ah, right those too

[glass mural]

Nevermind, it won't i think

[dense furnace]

@stiff moat if you are on valguero, the fish corpses give rotten meat and organic poly

[spare panther]

I mean it’s not that big of a deal but it’s dumb how I’ve spent an hour or two flying around the mountains in scorched and found nothing

Higher than level 75 that is

[long flicker]

^

ragnarok is a good alternative to scorched

[spare panther]

Ya but I wanna kill the manticore

[long flicker]

you can transfer shit around

[static fjord]

well yeah SE has dogwater level distribution, even I cant find good yuties and ive played for ages.

[lyric light]

Hello, does anyone know how to calculate large ferox melee points?

[spare panther]

But you gotta like transfer your player too and it seems more of a hassle than anything

[dense furnace]

are there any maps with very large sections of relatively flat semi beginnner areas? kinda like how the island has

[long flicker]

fuck, I forgot to check that out

let me see what I can get from the wiki rn

[static fjord]

i would just get some level 70s because yuty stats arent really needed

[dense furnace]

yeah you just need it to poop out some eggs so you can cook it's young

[static fjord]

just slap on a good saddle and avoid the torpor as much as you can.

[dense furnace]

do you think the yuty has a cloaca

[static fjord]

i mean i guess all the free dlcs could be considered having large flat safe areas.

[dense furnace]

val doesnt afaik

[static fjord]

all of them are easy maps and probably all of them have flat areas.

chalk hills.

[spare panther]

Also how do you even transfer stuff around cuz like I don’t wanna loose all my player levels just to give my island save a level 150 megatherium or something

[static fjord]

granted its not as safe as say the entirety of rag but like 2 spike walls and youre set

[dense furnace]

yeah but isnt there alot of difference in elevation on chalk hills?

and also not many resources?

[static fjord]

no as long as you go to the upper part of it and not the beaches.

[dense furnace]

oh okay

[static fjord]

theres tons of metal, crystal and obsidian.

[dense furnace]

thank you, maybe i wont give up on val quite yet

[static fjord]

and organic polymer i guess

[long flicker]

hm so it's the same as any other dino

[long flicker]

what's your large ferox's melee stat?

[lyric light]

295.9

[static fjord]

theres a lake in the chalk hills near the side of the beach where you find the big river thats in the middle of the entire map, its flat, looks nice and has a ton of resources

[long flicker]

in large form, right?

[lyric light]

yes

[dense furnace]

awesome, that sounds perfect

[long flicker]

did you level it at all?

[lyric light]

no

[long flicker]

imprinted?

[lyric light]

no

[long flicker]

29 points

[lyric light]

oh ok thanks!

[silent matrix]

I’m getting annoyed with how steep the mountains are in lost island. I practically need a bird to explore anywhere.

[grave summit]

What level is a maewing saddle again

pretty sure you can unlock it before you can unlock the thing you need to make it

[small pebble]

19 i think

[brittle sorrel]

I am looking for someone who can help me craft an exo mek, I have the mats (Small tribes PC) please DM me I'd really appreciate it!

[glass mural]

My plan: get biotoxin, Problem: Need a basilosaurus
My plan: get one, problem: mantas around
My plan: get a spino, problem: can't trap one

[olive egret]

best way to find crystals on Ab? they dont seem frequent in the colored nodes

[misty turtle]

Even if you craft one you cannot ride it anyway

You need engram to ride them

[brittle sorrel]

I want it to craft tho

[misty turtle]

What map

[old copper]

What season pass do i need, to get all dlcs? I'm on ps4

[misty turtle]

Ultimate

[static fjord]

you can rarely find the real deal crystal nodes around the green zone, ive found some around fertile lake but theyre so rare early game i'd just go for green gems nodes

[glass mural]

rag

[misty turtle]

Hmm if rag then kill jelly fish

I though you in Val, Ab or LI

[gusty wharf]

Scorched earth is fixed? Drops are spawning now but not sure about wyvern eggs?

[misty turtle]

It will be easier to farm bio toxin

[olive egret]

okay, same amount of crystals from blue gem spawns too @static fjord

[misty turtle]

In Ab just farm gem node you will get crystal anyway

[static fjord]

yeah theyre the same across all 3 colours, whatever dino is good for gathering nodes should work considering how plenty green gem nodes there are.

though if you can, SE is a hotspot for crystal, dedicated caves full of the stuff.

[solemn bronze]

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

[misty turtle]

Yeah SE cave also an option

[olive egret]

i see, im trying to stick to gathering resources on the map im on for now

[misty turtle]

Or Space in Gen1

[solemn bronze]

Using a moschops on the red mushrooms that make you hallucinate will harvest bio toxin

[misty turtle]

But he in rag

[solemn bronze]

No need to go after jellies

Rag has redwoods

[misty turtle]

There no Ab murshom in rag

[solemn bronze]

Not an mushroom

[static fjord]

that also works when you harvest them with hand, the moschops is optional.

[solemn bronze]

🍄

[misty turtle]

Rag release before Ab come out so there no Ab murshoom

[dense furnace]

i love moschops

[misty turtle]

Those red murshoom

[dense furnace]

they are the best

[misty turtle]

Is from Ab

[solemn bronze]

Yes but you risk getting affected by them lol

[static fjord]

i mean you'd be gathering the aggeravic mushrooms in the process anyway so i dont think its that big of a problem.

[solemn bronze]

They’re on probably all maps. I harvest it on lost island, crystal, rag…

[solemn bronze]

Noooo not the brown ones

[misty turtle]

Last time i check there no red murshoom in Rag hmm

[static fjord]

the red ones drop aggeravic mushrooms too though?

[misty turtle]

May have to check again

[solemn bronze]

I’ll go harvest some now. I never keep anything other than the biotoxin lol I take that and drop bag and continue on

[misty turtle]

I use anky on those murshoom

So Moschop better?

[static fjord]

idk if sickle harvests biotoxin but sickles get not only mass amounts of fiber from the mushrooms but also mass amount of all the mushroom types, great way to get narcotics early game.

[solemn bronze]

I get more stuff with moschops for sure

currently testing these all out

https://tenor.com/view/nooo-no-nope-no-way-screaming-gif-15477187

Idk why but now it isn’t doing it and I’m big sad

[cloud iris]

Any one got any tips on valguero I'm new an starting fresh

[solemn bronze]

Watch out for fluffy raptors if you steal eggs from nests on the ground

[cloud iris]

Fluffy raptors? Don't even know if I've seen one

[solemn bronze]

Haha the Deinonychus. They’re in the chalk hills area

[glass mural]

i'm taming a spino over 70k torp

[cloud iris]

Oh I see don't know were that is yet but I'm sure I'll find it

[olive egret]

besides the ability to hide sides, whats the difference between S+ farm plots and normal ones?

[glass mural]

oh it already fell asleep

[solemn bronze]

Bottom right on your map 🙂

[glass mural]

14k torp spino

😶

[cloud iris]

Only played the game for a couple days still don't know much about it haha thanks for the help

[glass mural]

finally got a decent spino

[olive egret]

will S+ farmer pull fertilizer from soul terminal?

[meager mango]

Can I use an acendant longneck to knock dinos out without killing them

[solemn bronze]

I’m here to help 🙂 YouTube and Dododex (app) and the Ark Wikipedia are all huge helps when learning.

[solemn bronze]

Depends on dino level along with your own melee damage for your character and what ammo you’re using

[meager mango]

I would use shocking tranq darts

Hopefully on a high level Dino

[placid sundial]

Melee damage doesn't effect darts, shocking darts with a longneck is the most damage/torpor efficient way though yeah

[meager mango]

Ok so it shouldn’t kill the Dino I’m shooting?

[placid sundial]

Most creatures will be fine with even a crossbow, so as long as the creature you're darting isn't
a) already very damaged
b) naturally very low health (lower than your rifle's damage)
It'll probably be fine. What dino?

[meager mango]

Maewing

Wanna tame one of those but don’t want to kill it

And they’re pretty rare

[placid sundial]

Yeah shocking darts will be fine unless it's bloody

[meager mango]

Alright cool ty

[solemn bronze]

The Dododex mentions character melee can affect damage when you’re inputting the weapon info

[placid sundial]

On melee weapons yeah (like clubs)

Darts are projectiles

[glass mural]

time to level up this baby and kill all the mantas

[silent matrix]

I thought that would work

Anyways I was gonna say that that this gif shouldve been the Dinopithecus Lvl up animation

Is there someone that knows how to enable flyer speed stat leveling on a dedicated server?

[solemn bronze]

Add this to the ini

bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=true

[floral lark]

GameUserSetting.ini?

or the other one

[solemn bronze]

Gameusersetting 🙂

[spare panther]

Bruh why are yutyrannus so rare on scorched I’ve looked for an hour and haven’t found any

[floral lark]

Thanks a lot

[misty turtle]

Have you check all mountain

I see some near or in moutain

[spare panther]

Ya I’ve flown back in forth on the mountain range twice now

[misty turtle]

Check other mountain ig

Clear area

[spare panther]

Ig I could do that kill all wild Dino’s command and see if they spawn

[glass mural]

i can't find a single ovi

on ragnarok map

[spare panther]

Ya it’s probs a thing with other Dino’s being so big in numbers that the one you’re looking for can’t spawn in

I would assume

[floral dove]

Is it just me struggling to find a high level snow owl on lost island? The highest level i have found was level 66..

[spare panther]

Cuz I saw a billion carnos and argentavis whole looking for a yuty

[glass mural]

do i kill dinos like stupid

[spare panther]

There’s always one creature on everybody’s world that is hard to find a high level of I can’t physically find a megatherium above level 70 on island and can find a billion yutys , on scorched, I’ve found twenty max level megatheriums, but can’t find a high level yuty or a yuty at all

[floral dove]

yeah

[spare panther]

Try the kill all wild dinos command idk if it will help but I just did it after looking it up

[floral dove]

ok i will try that

[glass mural]

alr

i will also try that

[glass mural]

still can't find a single ovi

fr how rare are they?

[long dome]

Will ark be removed from xbox gamepass on 14 Feb

[silent matrix]

On Ragnorak? Not rare at all

[glass mural]

How am i not able to find any though

[keen frigate]

hi

anyone playing that i can join

i got lonersyndrome

[meager frigate]

Hey is Gen part 2 any good?

[candid sky]

Once again can’t do star dolphin because of lag making me fail everytime since I can’t fire cannons

[static fjord]

its pretty good, you get gen 1 in the bundle which is a steal anyway.

[meager frigate]

im making a cluster server with 2 maps so i need to pick 2 ark maps

[meager frigate]

aberation is by far my favourite but idk what else

[static fjord]

depends what you want

[meager frigate]

hows the gen 2 map?

[cursive karma]

U can take this new map

[static fjord]

its easy, has almost every dino and resource

[cursive karma]

Lost island

[static fjord]

gen 1 is challenging, fits better with ab imo and has a good selection of dinos and resources

[misty turtle]

Gen1 have best ocean

Best looking space too although it quite dangerous

[fading shoal]

Do you level up faster in gen 2 or something i just spawned in on official picked up a few things and im level 17?

[silent matrix]

Yo, got a question, i got a Max level male for my female xrex female and i'm out of resources, It got only 6.8 k health, Is It good enough to start alpha escort Mission and beta Hunt missions, i'm playing on gen1

[meager frigate]

bog spider best animal\

[static fjord]

in short if you want sheer dinos and resources then go for gen 2, if you want a challenge and a map that fits well with abs balance then go for gen 1.

[meager frigate]

lost island ahh ok

[misty turtle]

Nope

You will get kill

[static fjord]

bloodstalker is king.

[cursive karma]

Yes the new dinos are good

[solemn bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-do-this-spider-man-tom-holland-spider-man-no-way-home-im-ready-gif-23878603

[silent matrix]

Obviously going to do mutations on them, at least 15 health and 15 melee

[static fjord]

you need good aoe for the escorts.

[silent matrix]

I was wondering if It was good enough to start the stack

[meager frigate]

i just want whatever map has bog spider, gen 1 only good cause of that

[static fjord]

gen 1 and 2 are the only maps with bloodstalkers

[silent matrix]

Or if i shall restare the grinding tranqs pain and search for a Better one

[static fjord]

if you have access to them, either a reaper or giga should do it

[meager frigate]

aberation has the coolest creatures lets be honest

[static fjord]

i prefer gen 1s dinos

[silent matrix]

I play on gen1 so no giga, and i am bot ready for reaper

[honest veldt]

Void wyrms breed right?

[static fjord]

i mean i doubt any single rex can do alpha escorts, you need a ton of AoE because a few hits and the dino youre protecing is dead already

yes they do breed, dont need any special foods like milk either

[glass mural]

Taming a level 270 Basi

I will finally be able to get bio toxin

without dying

[misty turtle]

Good luck

[wise brook]

hey guys

how do i play ark and earn tekgrams for like offical servers and stuff

i guess im asking whats the offical way of playing ark threw and getting all the rewaards

[shell blade]

through pvp or pve? cause on PVP I have no idea since I don't do that

[rugged pewter]

Are there any safe locations to live at in Abbration

[shell blade]

through PVE you should find a tribe and they can help you

[wise brook]

pve

[glass mural]

Does basi need to be in constant movement to get hungry and be able to feed it?

[wise brook]

like how do i join a pve and start on the story

[shell blade]

oh so try to either make a tribe and get big, or find a tribe, and then they'll probably be somewhat established and you'll be able to learn from there

[shell blade]

the first feed and second feed are always way further apart than the rest

but I don't think so, no

[rugged pewter]

im playing a non dedicated server with my friend so its just us

[shell blade]

that can work, if the rates are higher than it might be easier

but I suggest you join a tribe if it's just you two, unless you think you can get another few people to join you

[wise brook]

cause if i earn the tekgrams in pve can i use them in the pvp?

[shell blade]

I don't think so

[static fjord]

no

[glass mural]

it's cause i made a small trap so it doesn't move all around and attract more mantas

[static fjord]

your unlocked tekgrams are linked to your character, if you arent using the character that got the tekgrams then they'll still be locked

[wise brook]

oh ok

does it have to be in like OFFICAL servers to use them?

[static fjord]

no

[tough yarrow]

@silent matrix #735196277221883964

[static fjord]

say you get tekgrams in official pvp, you can transfer that character to any official pvp server and use your unlocked tekgrams, but you cant transfer it outside of official pvp

[solemn bronze]

You can't transfer characters from PVE to PVP unless on an unofficial cluster that allows it. Otherwise you would have 2 separate characters.

[glass mural]

how much does it take to eat the second one?

[shell blade]

hmm how bad an idea would it be to start playing on official pve before doing pvp

[wise brook]

ohhh ok

[shell blade]

for me, like, a minute or two

then the rest were 20 seconds tops

[solemn bronze]

first to second bite always takes the longest. after that it's faster

[glass mural]

definitely had lasted like 5 mins

[static fjord]

it lasts for what feels like 10m

[shell blade]

try unloading it then reloading it

[glass mural]

what the hell of stats did i move

[glass mural]

simply walk away? or

[wise brook]

where do you guys recomend i go to? to start playing pvp and like try and grow and stuff

[shell blade]

basically

[glass mural]

alr

[shell blade]

otherwise just break the trap

they're easy enough to deal with. are you on foot or with a dino?

if your on foot I recommend you get a Bary if your scared

and just shoot any mantas from afar with a crossbow or a harpoon launcher

[glass mural]

i got a spino

[shell blade]

that works

[glass mural]

everything else is quite good, will check stats in case

[past pelican]

So I finally got a sino and I keep dive-bombing. Ik it's a bug but is there any fix to stop it atm?

[glass mural]

What setting modifies the eating time?

[shell blade]

dino food drain

[glass mural]

alr

[shell blade]

though a warning, it increases tamed dino food drain too

[placid sundial]

There's one for wild dino food drain only that you can add directly to the ini

[glass mural]

where is it though

[shell blade]

oh shit is there?

that's good to know, I think ima try to find that at some point

[placid sundial]

Yeah gimme a sec to grab it

WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier in Game

[trim fulcrum]

@past pelican if you are on xbox the left stick will cancel it.
Turn run off to prevent diving, turn run on to dive again.
To keep it simple… if your walikg when using your not going to dive

[past pelican]

Ty

[stiff moat]

can someone suggest mod?

[placid sundial]

For what?

[stiff moat]

ark

[placid sundial]

Like a general modlist?

[stiff moat]

extra dinos or anythibg

anything

[placid sundial]

I could DM you my lists if you'd like

[stiff moat]

Sure

[glass mural]

Can't find it in-game, is it on a folder? (sorry my brain is slow)

How do i add it

[shell blade]

game ini

check pins somewhere, iirc it's there

how to get to it I mean

[glass mural]

alr

[placid sundial]

Shit misread sorry

[glass mural]

ah, lol don't worry

[placid sundial]

Yeah as Snivy said. Pins in #bobs-with-probs show it

It is in the folders, ini files specifically

[vernal lance]

I'm back again with sad-ish news

I sadly had to remove all the big mods from my game because of 1hr long load times

[placid sundial]

And then it needs to be added specifically to the files

Rip

[glass mural]

I'm in game.ini right now, i simply paste WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier= (multiplier) in any space?

[vernal lance]

now I have only castles and keeps, s+, and indomuns mod

[placid sundial]

Yeah it's unfortunate, there's a lot of nice-looking mods I don't use because of size

[shell blade]

I too like my game being 500 gBs big

[vernal lance]

ins't that a in game option?

[glass mural]

i can't find it

[vernal lance]

ark big big

[placid sundial]

Though I don't think you need to cut your list that much, there were a lot of mods with negligible size

[glass mural]

it only appears for tamed ones

[shell blade]

my ark is only 338 gBs

I can go even further beyond

[vernal lance]

It was average 1hr loadup time into the game

[placid sundial]

My list is 19 mods and it takes me 5-10min

[vernal lance]

Had to for the sake of playability

[placid sundial]

I have a few of the ones you removed, too

[vernal lance]

yeah I want base 20 min load time

[placid sundial]

Yep, just make sure it's under the header

[vernal lance]

hopefully my 3070 ti and 32g ram pc will be enough to do the 80 I wish I could

[placid sundial]

Wanna see the list I use? Has some of the mods you did but still falls well below 20min

You could probably add Ark Additions and a couple of the other very small ones and still be below 20 even

[vernal lance]

I have 5.9g of ram lol

[placid sundial]

Oh ouchhhh

[vernal lance]

yeah I keep small ones

[placid sundial]

How long does it take you rn?

[vernal lance]

I was finna test that rn

[placid sundial]

CKF is pretty big, dino storage is like 40mb tho as one I remember that's removed

[vernal lance]

I hope I don't have to cut CKF

If i do then builds will be so boring

[placid sundial]

It's on the larger side, bigger than most of the other mods you had except the pure decor ones

It's off memory 600mb? My whole list is 900

You can check on it's workshop page though

[vernal lance]

like my collection?

[placid sundial]

My own collection that I use

[vernal lance]

oh wait your's

[placid sundial]

Ye, the ballistics mod you had in yours alone was almost as big as mine lol

[placid sundial]

Yeahh that's the unfortunate thing, new visual shit is cool but it has one of the biggest impacts on load times

[vernal lance]

what's the name ark finna load up and bye-bye to other program performance

[placid sundial]

Of the collection? Eclipse's Modlist

Oh 900 without animals of atlas*

Since I have that in there too but only use it on one of my 2 saves, I don't use it usually

[glass mural]

it stills say wait after a while

[placid sundial]

AoA is 800mb or so, the biggest mod by twice as much as the next

[glass mural]

is it because i accidentally hit it once then feed?

[placid sundial]

Passive tame? Yeah there's a limit to how fast you can feed them.. that is also configurable, I think, one sec

[vernal lance]

wow this is really good

[placid sundial]

Yup!
PassiveTameIntervalMultiplier
Also in Game.ini

[glass mural]

alr ty

[vernal lance]

If i sacrifice cfk I gain more small fun mods

[placid sundial]

Make sure the game is closed before editing though too, otherwise the edits will be overridden

[glass mural]

yeah i did

[placid sundial]

Thanks, yeah load time is a big concern for me so I tried to be careful about balancing it with content

Just remove animals of atlas, it's the big one

[placid sundial]

You can always try it with CKF and see how it goes

[vernal lance]

can the indomnus rex be added?

[placid sundial]

Yeah it's not too big

About 100 iirc which isn't small but won't have a huge impact

[vernal lance]

RRGs ARK - Vanilla Reworks opinion on it?

[glass mural]

Thanks for everything

[lone osprey]

atlas as in the wildcard game that never rlly did too well right ? the pirate one?

[vernal lance]

yes

[lone osprey]

wasted potential tbh

[vernal lance]

sea of thieves is king of that rn

[placid sundial]

I like KBD personally and both have similar ideas

So I'd only use one of the other. KBD will be more compatible and clean, not sure how RRG compares size wise

[vernal lance]

alr

I purged a lot of mods adding your now I'ma delete all the mods in my folder rn

where are ark mods in files

[placid sundial]

Content>mods

Modmaps are in there too so make sure to only delete the numbered folders

[stiff moat]

when i install mod my game crashes and it doesnt give error or else what can i do?

[glass mural]

going to try to tame a level 300 giga

[placid sundial]

On the menu screen?

[glass mural]

248 shock darts and a 700% rifle, nothing (everything) can go wrong

[placid sundial]

Could try full reinstall them. Sometimes steam fucks up the downloads

[vernal lance]

uhhhh I delete everything

[placid sundial]

There's a pin in #bobs-with-probs that describes how

[vernal lance]

including fiorda and valhalla

[placid sundial]

Oops I meant the official modmaps, but yeah those too

[stiff moat]

when i stting up a server

[vernal lance]

so am I like fucked rn

[stiff moat]

setting*

[placid sundial]

You can re-download them

[stiff moat]

ill try

[vernal lance]

oh ok

[lone osprey]

hey so everytime i open ark the screens just black with a distorted looking start button and idk how to fix it

[placid sundial]

Try veirfy

[plush oar]

so much fog on lost island every 10mins you cannot see good game

[lone osprey]

its like not only this but first my graphics go to total shit constant lag etc its made ark unplayable i gen might uninstall lmao every other game on my xbox works fine bruh

[silent matrix]

Session are not showing up on unofficial pc Sessions

[silent matrix]

And what should i get then to do alpha escort missions, and are xrexs usefull in gen1?

[wispy frigate]

Gigas

And not really, only thing useful for missions are gigas

Arthros and thylas/allos too

But those aren’t good for escorts

[edgy ether]

wait can you claim peoples dinos with a mayewing?

[placid sundial]

Unclaimed = Anyone can claim

[solemn bronze]

Babies who haven’t been claimed yes. Not sure on pve but you should be able to on pvp

[glass mural]

fr just when i'm looking for the dinos they don't appear

all i ask for is a single Giga 🥲

[marble violet]

is a journeyman stone pickaxe better than a metal pick?

[solemn bronze]

Depends on its damage and durability

[marble violet]

well my metal pick is just primitive. 100% damage

with 40 durability

meanwhile the journeyman stone pick is 159.5% damage and 101 durability

[placid sundial]

Would have to be a pretty fucking insane stone pick to be that much better

[marble violet]

aight

[placid sundial]

Been a while since I used one much but I recall the difference being pretty massive too

[solemn bronze]

This one is better for sure

[marble violet]

Really?

Huh. Well then.

[solemn bronze]

Higher damage and higher durability.

[marble violet]

and higher resource gathering?

[placid sundial]

The damage and dura don't make up for how much less effective the tier of weapon is

[solemn bronze]

It does if it lasts longer than the metal one lol

[placid sundial]

Metal picks are cheap asf lol, 1 ingot

[marble violet]

I see

[placid sundial]

You'd get the singular ingot back on the metal 20x over

[marble violet]

well ill keep my metal pick for now. gonna keep grinding off gachas til I get some good loot

best thing I got from em was a journeyman sniper rifle

fabricated one

[placid sundial]

That's decent

[solemn bronze]

You can fight Dino’s for weapons along with loot drop hunting too 🙂

Gachas always give me riot gear 😂

[marble violet]

True. but last time I tried doing an easy mode supply drop with my velonsasaur I got overwhelmed quickly

Damn stegos…….

so instead im breeding a pack of allos

and bringing tons of sniper ammo

Sure sniper rifle doesnt hit as hard as a long neck

but I like the semi auto feature.

[echo cipher]

in order to have a stone pick better than a metal pick, you'd need an ascendant quality stone pick and maybe even a lower than prim metal pick. always get rid of all your stone picks when you have metal

[glass mural]

level 300 giga left me at 140 health

in a single bite

[marble violet]

noted

[glass mural]

i had like 2500 health and ascendant armor wth

[shell blade]

yes they have uhh...

1200 base damage iirc

ignoring the bleed

[glass mural]

24k*

this idiot

is like..

[echo cipher]

stone picks lose durability about 4x faster than metal ones

[placid sundial]

That's true actually yeah

Wut lol

[placid sundial]

[wispy frigate]

I meant sure as in, “yeah do it idc, the question wasnt even related to the answer”

[placid sundial]

ohh lol i misunderstood

thought you were asking about gigas on g1 (though tbf seems like I wasnt the only person confused)

[wispy frigate]

Lol all good

[silent matrix]

anyone small tribes duos?

[lofty leaf]

What's up folks. Does anyone know, can you edit which structures are damageable by certain dinos in .ini? Allow T- Rex to damage stone walls, for example

Okay :'( thanks

[placid sundial]

Yeah, it sucks

[marble zenith]

Where do I go to report an issue with a server crashing and losing all my stuff and kicked out my own clan?

[past pelican]

Is there a way to turn off foliage on Xbox?

[vernal lance]

no

[junior mirage]

I swear to god. Please Wildcard take care of those Reaper Queens. They are invincible 😣

but not because you can't actually kill them but because they aggro everything nearby, kill them and INSTA HEAL by that. Like wtf

either that or the charge light you need attracts free insta heal for them in form of seekers.

[tepid cloak]

New to mutation, but when breeding for mutations…what do you do with all the extra Dinos?

[halcyon crypt]

if i were to fight a reaper queen i would either clear the area or just harvest bodies before the queen does

seekers aren't really much of an issue and light should be kept on unless you want to spend a lot of time spamming left mouse click

[solemn bronze]

You can switch to another server and come back and that may help with your tribe issues. Otherwise you'll need to submit a ticket to #customer-support

[solemn bronze]

get a fed tek suit with helmet visor toggled and you can see the outline while they are underground

[marble zenith]

Thankyou I got back as the clan leader, but I still don’t have any of my tames in the cryopods, was moving everything from Ragnarok to Gen2. I have just sent a ticket under the server down link. Hopefully they can do something to get everything back..

[junior mirage]

nah theyre no problem only the attack me while fighting a Reaper Queen and if its dead the Reaper Queen gets insta healed

[shell blade]

allow me to introduce you to baby murdering

[halcyon crypt]

yeah but if you use a carnivore, you could harvest the seeker bodies before the reaper does

[shell blade]

or, of course, you could make an army and rule the ark

[junior mirage]

Its like with Pokemon where you fight a snorlax that know rest. xD

[junior mirage]

No chance. I tried but as soon as it does the spin attack it harvests bodies nearby as its range is insanely big

[tepid cloak]

Noooo I feel horrible

[shell blade]

you won't at some point

probably, again, you could also make a massive army and see how that goes

[tepid cloak]

It’s just sad because the stand there and take it. Don’t even fight back 😢

[dense furnace]

GUYS

my argy is still alive and in the same spot

and my inventory is still there!!!!

[shell blade]

they usually run

[dense furnace]

not if it isnt set to passive though, right?

he wasnt set to flee so he was in the same spot the whole time

[tepid cloak]

And when aging up all these Dinos for mutations I don’t have to imprint each one right?

[dense furnace]

nope

dont bother levelling them either if they level up

[silent matrix]

two questions

whats the "genesis season pass." isnt it just.. both the genesis parts? why is it called a season pass if its just buying another two dlc parts?

why are we forced to buy every dlc in a single bundle now, on steam?

[dense furnace]

i am ELATED to have not lost my things

therizino fucked up my armor but its not broken or lost

[small drift]

Am new to ark on pc am looking for a tribe to join

[deep remnant]

is three narco arrows enough to take a parasaur?

[placid sundial]

Depends on level, quality of the bow, bow/crossbow, where you hit them, mateboost, etc

Generally 3 crossbows to the head are enough on 150 max but there's too many variables to say here

Dododex has a calulator for it though

[dense furnace]

^ use dododex

3 biggest tips for anyone new:

always carry a torch(troodons dont always strike but it is more than worth the hotbar slot)

learn whistles

use dododex

[silent matrix]

That would have been good to know a few years ago

[dense furnace]

yeah, im still basically a beginner myself but those are three of the most important things ive learned

actually, tip number 4: moschops

might not always help vs a raptor or something real big, but bugs, dilos, and compies are an ez clap

[deep remnant]

yall are speaking cursive

my small brain cannot comprehend

forget this imma use a slingshot

[dense furnace]

ok so troodons are these little dinos that are basically hell incarnate and they have glowing eyes at night. If you see a troodon, take out your torch because they will run instead of knocking you unconscious and nibbling on your tender bits until you die

[silent matrix]

level run speed :)

[dense furnace]

whistles are hotkeys that let you immediately change behavior settings of tamed dinosaurs. Need your dino to help you fight but its too far away? use the follow whistle and the attack my enemy whistle and they will come running to your aid. Need them to leave a fight they cant handle? whistle for them to follow and become passive

[dense furnace]

^^^^^ so much this

[deep remnant]

yall didnt tell me a para is so frikin weak

[dense furnace]

you didnt ask

use dododex, its an app that lets you input a dino and its level and it tells you how to knock it out, what you need to keep it out, and how much food you need

as well as the chance of death for using more crude KO methods such as a slingshot

[dense furnace]

what level was ot

[deep remnant]

1 XD

[dense furnace]

did it die during KO?

[deep remnant]

nope

im making it a saddle rn

imma name it parry

[dense furnace]

lmao dont get too attached to parry

[deep remnant]

prob gonna get eaten by one of those croc things

[dense furnace]

croc things die to like 8 spear throws

[deep remnant]

but imma go to the one place thats actually safe

Canada

[dense furnace]

craft a bunch of spears and just throw them all at its head

[deep remnant]

i dont wanna kill it

[dense furnace]

why lol

[deep remnant]

i wanna ride it

[dense furnace]

have fun waiting until level 35 then

[deep remnant]

dangit i have too soft of a heart for this game

[dense furnace]

he'll give you some good xp if you kill him

[deep remnant]

if i really wanted too i'd make the dodos extinct again

[dense furnace]

do it

level up

just beware the swamp and the big snakes therein

[deep remnant]

bruh

everything in the fields with or without a pulse just liquified my boi perry

[dense furnace]

what all was there?

(he was level 1, you get what ya pay for)

[deep remnant]

he was level 3

thank you very much

alr perry is avenged

a pack of dilos, some of those dragonfly things, and a pack of compys later

[dense furnace]

youre lucky it wasnt a raptor or you would be liquid too

see if you can tame a moschops. they require no saddle, can collect berries and fiber and thatch and meat, ans they one shot compies and meganeura(dragonfly)

[deep remnant]

moschops need like a special item to tame

[lone osprey]

u can find some that only need tintos or prime

[vernal lance]

what in the ell was my ark mods doing

was freezing more with less mods than I did with loads of big mods

[lone osprey]

honestly for low lvls no dino compares to a parasaur theyre like perfectly made for beginner lvls imo

[lone osprey]

isnt it usually supposed to be the opposite lmao

[vernal lance]

ik\

idk what the heck happend

do mod maps make the game laggier even if I'm not on them?

because if so ik where to at least start

[dense furnace]

just find one that isnt picky

some require bee homey or prime or rare flowers but some, like ovis said, just need a berry or 2

[lone osprey]

i think so

[vernal lance]

If I have mod's installed but not using them will it tank preformance

[silent matrix]

A high level moschops will calp a raptor

[dense furnace]

ive had one defend me from 2 level 50 terror birds

[lone osprey]

fr? i always set my moschops to passive flee

if i dont get out alive i only care about my moschops lmao

[dense furnace]

i hop on his back and annihilate whatever is attacking

[lone osprey]

also i usually just tame an equus and use the back kick until the raptor starts running which does not take long

[mild jetty]

are forcetamed creatures considered tamed or wild?

[lone osprey]

tamed

[dense furnace]

i usually dont put my moschops in danger tho

they live on one of the safest spots on the island

[lone osprey]

moschops def are not meant for combat lol

i like to at a low lvl kite raptors to a wild theri let them aggro on it and die lmao

ive never once seen raptors attack a therizino and win

[dense furnace]

havent found a good doed yet but i got a level 95 argie

[halcyon crypt]

moschops kick ass early game

[brittle compass]

what you mean waiting login lock

[silent matrix]

does any1 know a freshwipe ps4 server

[tough yarrow]

@silent matrix check #800537680784916501 or #800538567122092053

[west comet]

I love moschops🥺😂

[quiet cargo]

I'm curious, can striders drown?

[long flicker]

great question

[static quiver]

[quiet cargo]

Suppose the ol scientific method will be my answer here 😂

[long flicker]

step 1 - fuck about
step 2 - find out

[quiet cargo]

Lol exactly

[silent matrix]

iirc moschops will run regardless of behavior settings, unless ur riding them and making them attack

[long flicker]

partially correct

they'll run from everything on aggressive, and from only attackers on neutral

not sure about passive

[silent matrix]

?

[long flicker]

alright i checked, they won't run on passive

[silent matrix]

Help

[long flicker]

hm?

[silent matrix]

If I buy the gold edition, what do I get!?

[long flicker]

apparently there's a gold edition on PS4

[silent matrix]

Yes

[long flicker]

you'll have to wait for a PS4 player to answer your question

[finite bone]

Anyone have any thoughts on this - trying to kill some reject breeds for xp but its not functioning. I can kill them if they are in tribe but they yield no XP. If I unclaim them they can no longer be damaged until claimed again

FF is enabled

[long flicker]

pvp mode

[finite bone]

ah so cant be in pve for it?

[long flicker]

also tehy should still give xp if you kill them while they're in your tribe

people on official use this very often for levelling

[finite bone]

far as I can tell this gives 0

but maybe that requires pvp too

thats an easy fix

[long flicker]

it doesn't

as far as I'm aware at least

let me test right now, I just spawned a moschops for testing anyway

[finite bone]

yeah my dinos cant even damage an in tribe dino

[quiet cargo]

Striders can breath underwater 💪🏻

[long flicker]

damn

good to know, I'll keep that in mind

I have 1019712 xp

wait fuck I"m on pvp

[finite bone]

can you kill them for xp in tribe on pvp? I just swapped us so no big deal

I have ~500 dinos to clean up

[long flicker]

my moschops gave me xp even though it was in my tribe, and afaik it shouldn't be a pve pvp thing, so it's confsing that you didn't get xp

what did you use to kill the dino?

[finite bone]

pike

only I could dmg it

Saber and mega couldnt

[long flicker]

yeah friendly fire isn't a thing with dinos

[finite bone]

me killing and them getting the splash xp should work though, right?

[long flicker]

only wyverns and players can inflict friendly fire

[long flicker]

"splash xp"?

[finite bone]

xp for being near a kill

[long flicker]

if you mean shared xp, only players get that

and dinos being ridden by players get that

no other dinos get it

[finite bone]

good note

[long flicker]

I keep debating between having #nerfsino or not

I think I'll just remove it for now

[finite bone]

sino is love, sino is life

[long flicker]

I refuse!

[quiet cargo]

Why nerf them? I have a few but not really used them

[long flicker]

a jetpack that you get on day 2 for using 2 pieces of chitin

can also fly infinitely and very fast, with very little stamina drain in the first place

[placid sundial]

have it

[slate widget]

it takes 4 for a level 5 at 1x :P not 2 xD and the crystal wyverns are the same lol

[placid sundial]

Crystal wyverns are just as bad

Been hating their brokenness long before sinos and I have the same issue with both

[long flicker]

obvious exaggeration alert

[slate widget]

if people are rushing for things they can easily do it just as fast with anything 🤷 people get to level 60~ and higher in an hour or something on arkpoc

[long flicker]

bruh

[slate widget]

gonna nerf note runs :P

[finite bone]

They are actually not super easy to get at higher levels, they fly freaking EVERYWHERE

takes so many feeds too

[placid sundial]

That's a kinda a fair point, except I think that the difference comes down to 'intended gameplay role'

[long flicker]

that's the one thing I like about them, that they're somewhat of a challenge to tame

[placid sundial]

It's not intended that you tame a rex on day1, but sinoma are given very easy requirements

[long flicker]

thank you for putting my logic into words

[slate widget]

yeah, I'd say they are harder than crystal wyverns :P no easier item (primal crystal for wyverns) and have to follow it and hope instead of riding it.

[long flicker]

I'm not very good with conveying what I'm trying to say

[placid sundial]

until you trap them which is pretty much every dino following rushing

[long flicker]

they can't be trapped

[slate widget]

I thought they fixed trapping

[placid sundial]

Did they? Worked a month ago at least

Torches?

[finite bone]

torches dont work

if you start to build they run

[placid sundial]

Was changed?

[slate widget]

it was in the patch notes

[placid sundial]

I mean I know people who trap tamed them using torches so

[slate widget]

not sure if it works on singleplayer

[placid sundial]

Ah must have missed it, mind a link?
