ark-survival-ascended

[static fjord]

if we censored some swear words then we would be silencing the community, no?

[long flicker]

ark discord is evolving, I used to get botted just because of saying asshole and shit

[placid sundial]

They actually used to be censored, but most were removed

[torpid hemlock]

dude where are the mods this dude is getting annoying

idk why i said dude that many times

[placid sundial]

yeah lol i'd get half my messages deleted back when the discord was created for fuck

[static fjord]

acer he kinda has a point, didnt you start not that long ago

[torpid hemlock]

i have 791 hours? im pretty sure? around there

[static fjord]

baby numbers.

[vagrant ridge]

Mods are humans too, can’t always be watching, they’ll deal with it when they’re on

[torpid hemlock]

the pic sent in ur dms btw

[long flicker]

the worst censor I've ever seen is still the roblox censor tho

you get completely random messages censored for no reason
because "child friendly"

kids below 13 can't even send numbers

[undone forge]

Fax

[static fjord]

bro have you seen the xbox censoring, its so good its so damn hard to swear without it looking like some weird morse code

[long flicker]

roblox censor is bad because it's pointless, not because it's good at censoring words

it's not even good at censoring words, it's shit

[static fjord]

im just saying the xbox censoring is amazing.

[long flicker]

interesting

why do you need censor anyway

kids swear irl, won't change much if they swear in games too

[torpid hemlock]

ikr

[placid sundial]

parents don't want their kids learning swears

[torpid hemlock]

gotta maintain that child friendly image

though i remember being able to type pen|s like that

[undone forge]

I remember when playing roblox before turning 13 whenever I wanted to speak italian I had to divide the words into letters and even then sometimes it didn't work

[long flicker]

no way to ensure that without just forbidding your child from interacting with every single kid

[placid sundial]

Depending on how young too there's no guarantee they've even been exposed to swears much

[placid sundial]

i mean the chances are increased tho

[long flicker]

not to forget most games also have ratings

[torpid hemlock]

do i need to place a window on my adobe windowframes to be safe from sandstorms or can i keep it open?

[long flicker]

I've seen WAY more swears offline than I have online
and I spend a lotta fucking time online

[undone forge]

All I wanted to do was fucking speak italian on roblox and it censored me because it didn't recognize italian

[static fjord]

i had to type my friends name with spaces because roblox censoring is garbage

[undone forge]

Same

[long flicker]

we just used abbrevations

[placid sundial]

yeah.. why would they let people swear on a game designed and rated for 6 year olds

[long flicker]

first letter of my first and last name

[long flicker]

I'm referring to 99% of the games with ratings of 13 or 16+

[static fjord]

pretty sure youre safe since you just need the housed effect

[long flicker]

^

[undone forge]

Censoring swears is the minimum roblox does

[torpid hemlock]

wyvern should i tame a lymantria or just get an argent when i get high enough level

[placid sundial]

And you're also over 13.

[long flicker]

I spent a lot more time offline when I was under 13

[static fjord]

depends on what you want

[placid sundial]

children below 13 play games lol

[torpid hemlock]

i just want to be able to move around the map faster as fast as possible but also want to stay safe

[static fjord]

i'd still recommend a lymantria because its a pretty good backup flyer incase you inevitably get microraptor'd and die

[long flicker]

if the rating of the game is 13+ then the game shouldn't have to be held responsible for a child under thirteen playing their game and learning swears

[undone forge]

Like I said, before I turned 13 couldn't speak Italian properly on roblox because it censored every fugging word

[placid sundial]

personally i didnt actually hear swears till i was like 12

[torpid hemlock]

oh im on hardcore

[placid sundial]

That's true

[torpid hemlock]

so if i get microraptor'd im not coming back 😂

[long flicker]

most of the swears were probably around 12-14, I didn't start swearing myself till I was 15

[static fjord]

you will, just naked.

[long flicker]

maybe even older

[static fjord]

you can get back to base to your unclaimed lymantria and get your stuff

[placid sundial]

Exactly. Now if you're specifying teens it's dfferent

because yeah there's not many teens that havent heard swears before

[long flicker]

that 9 yo kid playing a game with a rating of 16+ can fuck himself, it's not the game's fault

[torpid hemlock]

exactly

[long flicker]

it's the parents' fault for not properly seeing the game's rating

[torpid hemlock]

alr ill get one

[placid sundial]

I mean swears do incite that sort of rating, no?

[torpid hemlock]

just waiting out a sandstorm rn

[long flicker]

and that means it's not the game's responsibility to censor swears

[static fjord]

sandstorms provide cover for you, theyre not all negative

[long flicker]

with roblox
I'm fine with the censor, I just want it to not be dogshit

roblox censor is absolute dogshit

[long flicker]

though ig a lot of games censor swearing just to lower age ratings to increase profits

[placid sundial]

Well.. yeah, but im not sure what this has to do with the original point?

[long flicker]

my very next line was going to be "what was my original point again"

[placid sundial]

Lol

[long flicker]

well, my original original point still stands, roblox censor can go fuck itself

[placid sundial]

Yeah if swears are the only thing holding you from getting a rating that'll increase your potential playerbase by hundreds of thousands...

[undone forge]

Roblox after you speak italian:

[placid sundial]

oh fml i forgot to get the pgd loading this whole time

[long flicker]

oof

ok time for a very strange question

why are swears considered words that shouldn't be learnt or spoken by kids

[vagrant ridge]

Same thing used to happen to me a bunch of years ago on clash of clans, in the global chat

[long flicker]

this is something I think of every once in a while and I can't get a satisfactory answer apart from just "society"

[undone forge]

And to add more reasone as to why roblox censor is ass: one of the last times I played roblox a friend of mine said "he called me big fat" and a few hours later he gor warned

[static fjord]

because swears are commonly associated with not being polite or good people.

[vagrant ridge]

Literally every italian word would get censored lol

[placid sundial]

I started to load the kit, unplugged it because i needed to put ini in (that I only had on ark, unplugged), I grabbed the INI, went and loaded the kit back, placed my spawners, loaded pgd, spawn entries, rebuilt class heirarchy etc, started to tinker. Wondered why nothing was working

[long flicker]

and what is the reason for that
and people do swear regardless, especially with people who they're close with
the world is a weird place

[undone forge]

I didn't know that CoC did that

[torpid hemlock]

lmao big fat

[static fjord]

because swears are usually seen as insults despite the fact that people dont use them as insults 90% of the time

[long flicker]

also did y'all know that roblox is worth more than nintendo

[placid sundial]

..i didn't actually put the ini in the fucking kit ini

[undone forge]

Yes

I watched people make games' videos

[torpid hemlock]

trying to fix the typo it isnt working

[long flicker]

but "stupid" or "idiot" still aren't considered to be horrible or whatever
and then kids still make their own swear equivalent like "poopyhead" or whatever that still has the same effect

[torpid hemlock]

there we go

[placid sundial]

Considered rude or disrespectful

[long flicker]

nice lol

[undone forge]

Reason as to why I left roblox

[vagrant ridge]

That’s about 6-7 years ago, then i stopped playing and never tried again

[long flicker]

I still play phantom forces, fun game

and some roblox horror games can be pretty good

[static fjord]

stupid or idiot dont really have the same impact, no?

[long flicker]

how about poopyhead tho

that would absolutely DESTROY you

not even an atom left

[static fjord]

okay but i have something that can destroy you

[undone forge]

Lmao

[long flicker]

hm?

[static fjord]

the fact that this is unrelated to ark

[long flicker]

oh shit, you're right

alright I'm putting an end to this pointless convo

[torpid hemlock]

bet

[static fjord]

it already ended

[placid sundial]

I mean they were considered the same sorta thing when i was a child. less severe but still disallowed words

[torpid hemlock]

going for a lymantria rn

[placid sundial]

nooo what else will i do while waiting for the kit to load

[long flicker]

funniest is how shit is a swear and yet I see every 7yo say it

[static fjord]

remember that a crossbow cannot tame a good lymantria before a bola runs out so you need to place a tent over them once bola's

[placid sundial]

never seen a 7yo swear tbh

[torpid hemlock]

on god

[long flicker]

nor have I, apart from shit

[grim narwhal]

I'm currently breeding gigas with the goal to get to 20 mutations which will take a while. I want to be productive with this time and also aim for another stack of mutations but I don't know what other stat to go for. I've heard hp and stam are a waste of time because of how little they increase.

[long flicker]

shit isn't considered a swear word here

[torpid hemlock]

oh right tranq arrows i should probably get those before i go out taming

[long flicker]

tent didn't work last time I tried

[placid sundial]

On gigas yeah only melee is worth mutating

[static fjord]

yeah didnt work for me either lol, but apparently it works

[long flicker]

nothing but melee
just melee
just melee

[static fjord]

make those dumb foundations pillar palaces instead

[long flicker]

also I'm feeling tired and pissed off for no reason and that's just pissing me off more

[grim narwhal]

So 20 hp mutations will still add very little?

[static fjord]

yes

[long flicker]

yep, not worth it

[grim narwhal]

Jeeez

[static fjord]

you could mutate another dino in the meantime

[grim narwhal]

I’ll do oxygen

[placid sundial]

Also sidenote you're not actually limited to 20 mutations

The counter's fucking broken

[grim narwhal]

Ik that but I’m not sure how to get more after that. Seems confusing

[gilded mantle]

guis

[placid sundial]

Just keep the females unmutated

[grim narwhal]

I got 20 melee mutations on my rex and they have base 95 melee points xD

[gilded mantle]

does anyone know why 155 Small is offline for 19 hours?

[static fjord]

its the same thing except your chances are halved once you get over 20 since you can only get a mutation on the mat side

[placid sundial]

And breed mutated male to unmutated females. Get a maternal mutation, and when you breed the male to the females, the maternal mutation will be 'moved' to the paternal side

[grim narwhal]

Ohhhh ok so half odds. I like using the mutator cus it’s so useful plus I have like 36 breeding females

[long flicker]

it's not broken, it's just very stupid

[long flicker]

because ark

[static fjord]

was it even intended to go over 20

[placid sundial]

I think being able to push it into negatives is pretty broken

[long flicker]

probably

[grim narwhal]

20 will take me long enough. Base melee will then be 78

[long flicker]

you can do what now

[tight zodiac]

@viral shore Whistles are broken for whistling dinos

[long flicker]

wivern are whistles broken

[placid sundial]

well since the counter just adds whatever the parents have you can quickly give a dino 129381239712397235723641267432384 mutations which overflows it into -129381239712397235723641267432384 mutations. Which is less than 20 so you can then mutate on both sides

[tight zodiac]

It's all sorts of messed up....

[static fjord]

i think i would of prefered it for you to be unable to go over 20 because i find it kinda ridiculous that with enough time you could mutate a dino with 2 point into a stat and a dino with 42 points into a stat to 254 into a stat

[pliant locust]

Mutate it long enough until it turns „negative“ eg making it so high the game cannot save it and the negative counter dinos can produce / give mutations again xD

[long flicker]

oh well that's an integer overflow

[placid sundial]

Deselect the tame group

[long flicker]

can happen with anything without a hard limit

[placid sundial]

yes

[tight zodiac]

I don't use tame groups brah

[long flicker]

I wouldn't call it broken just because that's something that can happen

[static fjord]

nk

[long flicker]

"brah" you can select them by accident "brah"

[placid sundial]

You've probably accidentally selected one. Or changed a dino to ignore them.

[pliant locust]

Yea in many games that’s an issue, like AoE 2 with their (at one time „official“ ) x256 mod for example too

[static fjord]

everytime whistles dont work for me is when i accidently select one when i open extended hud

or if your sitting in a chair some whistles just dont work

[long flicker]

yep, it happened for me because numpad 0 is 2 fucking things for some reason

it both selects tame group 10 and cycles follow distance

[tight zodiac]

I'm not that dumb....brah. stfu@long flicker

[placid sundial]

Yeah I just don't use group 10 cuz of it, it's dumb

[tight zodiac]

I've played since release......it's broken

[long flicker]

was it my mistake?
no, it can't be, the devs must've broken whistles!
no way could I have done something wrong!

[pliant locust]

No. They work. What u mean by broken ?

[long flicker]

your playtime means jack shit in this context

[static fjord]

must be something on your end because it works fine for me.

[placid sundial]

playtime has nothing to do with accidentally bumping a button lmao

[long flicker]

though then again, are there any keys that aren't used already

[long flicker]

fuck you stfu I'm an alpha in 5 tribes!!!!11!!!!

[tight zodiac]

I didn't accidentally do anything lol. Trust. When you hatch a baby, whistle it to follow. Then whistle stop all n it doesn't stop...it's broken

[placid sundial]

No common ones I don't think

[long flicker]

my old pc didn't even have a numpad, so that was annoying

[placid sundial]

sounds exactly like you have a group selected lol

[tight zodiac]

He'll I even tried selecting follow from the wheel

[torpid hemlock]

there's literally no lymantria where my base is

[tight zodiac]

Nope

[long flicker]

but did you check

[static fjord]

i hatched theris recently, as i said its something on your end

[long flicker]

nah fam, the devs clearly broke whistles

[placid sundial]

Yup which is why absolutely no one but this one dude has found them to be broken

[torpid hemlock]

ofc how could they be wrong

must be the devs

[long flicker]

damn, even saying it as a joke I almost went into a coma from cringe

[placid sundial]

It's not like it's incredibly easy to bump a key without noticing or anything

[static fjord]

im confused how youre alpha in 5 tribes, shouldnt you be alpha in 5 servers

[long flicker]

yeah that was part of the joke, one dude once claimed to be an alpha in 7 tribes or some bullshit

[lunar atlas]

where giveaway?

[long flicker]

assuming you mean the discord one, you're a month too late

[lunar atlas]

oh wait

wrong sever

[long flicker]

oof lol

[misty turtle]

😂

[long flicker]

fuck I still haven't redeemed my plushy codes

[placid sundial]

do it rn bob

[long flicker]

I really hope they don't expire

[placid sundial]

this second, get outta this chat and redeem them

or ill uh

spam ping you in spam channel

[static fjord]

doesnt he have it muted.

[placid sundial]

He can still see the ping notif on the channel

[long flicker]

I do

[eager loom]

is lost island the biggest map or some shit? been flying on a pt forever and only half way across lmao

[swift leaf]

Ragnarok

Oh "lost" Island

Sorry things I don't know 😅

[undone forge]

Gen2 is probably the biggest map

[long flicker]

gen 2 is smaller than rag from what I know

it's 12x10 sq km, that's 120 compared to (according to wiki) rag's 144 sq km

[static fjord]

gen 2 feels like the biggest map

[random wigeon]

what should i upgrade on therizinosaurus for harvesting?

i have lots of chitin but i think ill need a lot more in the furute

[static fjord]

harvesting what, and do you mean the harvesting levels

[random wigeon]

yeah

like delicate or power

[static fjord]

wiki lists all the resources power impacts and all the resources delicate impacts

[random wigeon]

is there one that people consider lots better though is what im asking

[static fjord]

though i'd recommend a megatherium if you need tons of chitin

no, it depends on which resource you need

[random wigeon]

oh ok thanks

[static fjord]

having 2 theris with 1 maxed on delicate and other on power is the best way to do it

[clever pumice]

I think my first ark logo in Minecraft classic is good.

[burnt cradle]

Yea it is

[raw sentinel]

Any news when Gen 2 will pe up? 152 still down

[viscid path]

does anyone know how i can play multiplayer with my friend on ark

[silent matrix]

make a hamachi that u both join

then host undedicated sever

make ur friend join singleplayer and make him type in Open (your ip4 code)

or just join a server

if u want other ppl to be therre

[dusky path]

gen 2 be down for like 16ish hours thats pretty scary 😂

[random wigeon]

what stats should i upgrade on my baryonx for lower south cave on island?

[azure pecan]

150 and 151 are down too 😕

[gleaming pike]

I'm new

[clever pumice]

I like to play rock drake.

[gleaming pike]

Can someone play with me and teach me how to play

[clever pumice]

Sorry,It my bedtime!

[gleaming pike]

Oh bye

[clever pumice]

bye!!

[gleaming pike]

ANYONE down to teach me how to play

[desert comet]

yo can i get help from some one

[static fjord]

why does no one talk about procedurally generated arks, are they broken?

[versed wagon]

Is a tek stryder good at metal farming?

[hardy oyster]

Someone up for a fresh start?

[placid sundial]

Years abandoned buggy experiment from what Ive heard

[lethal elbow]

What do they do

[placid sundial]

I even heard something about them just full on failing to generate on Xbox at all, though that was at least a year ago now

[placid sundial]

Idea was a customised, automatically generated ark

[fervent basalt]

Can any one give me a doedicurus

[winged kernel]

i noticed that some streamers n others are running primitive ark so am curious how they are running it when its broken? id love to try it out but not been able to get it to run!

[quiet shard]

It barely works at all though

Its pointless for the moment

[placid sundial]

Yeah I said that

[static fjord]

seems like it would have been a cool feature.

[placid sundial]

Cool idea but never delivered on it

[quiet shard]

Its really buggy but when it does work, it can be fun

But loading takes way to long making it impractical

[winged kernel]

ive tried repeatedly to get primitive to work over the 5+ yrs ive had the game n not ounce have i been able to get it to load even leaving it to load for over an hour!!!

just wondering how others get it to load n i cant

[quiet shard]

Yea, primitive is weird. I've seen footage of it and it doesn't appeal to me

[placid sundial]

I mean currently wild dino spawns are broken in it (again..) so not like it'd work well even if it did load, rn

Maybe your pc is underspecced?

Maybe it's not downloaded? Not sure if it's installed by default

Or, if you have the original mod version's files still, maybe it's conflicting with those

So see about clearing those out if you do @winged kernel

[undone minnow]

any snow owl name ideas?

[cyan cliff]

Names and naming things are like my favorite parts of the game...and quite challenging. Right now I think I've got 30 Dire wolves, 15 T-Rex, 8 Spino's, 19 Sarco's, 8 Raptors, and a host of other little beasties. I'm running on the name theme system now. Sarco's have to be disney characters, Raptors are pop-singers, Wolves are people I've worked with...etc...it's a pain really...Good Morning all!

[long flicker]

I just only name my important dinos

my main mounts and shit

[static fjord]

i used to do that but its so much more fun when you name everyone.

[long flicker]

it is, but then I get attached

and getting attached to low level shit that's prone to death is unfun

[static fjord]

yeah but its a lot more immersive when you name stuff that will probably die because their deaths dont feel like a bunch of pixels that disappear but rather a friend that has died.

[long flicker]

true

go to recruitment channel

[cedar vector]

i got a question, whats the difference between a Tapejera and a X-tapejera?

[long flicker]

X look cooler

[static fjord]

In the wild x ones have a damage resistance and an attack boost while also giving you more xp, when tamed they have 3% less hp and 5% more melee and have differenr color regions

[cedar vector]

[long flicker]

and on gen 1 all wild X dinos are boosted, making them deal 2.5x damage and take 40% damage

[long flicker]

the 3% and 5% do exist but it's barely any to do much most of the time

[cedar vector]

and where do i find these`?

[long flicker]

gen 1

[cedar vector]

only?

[long flicker]

or you can use spawn ini to make them naturally spawn anywhere else

[static fjord]

all normal tapejara are replaced with their x variants in gen 1 exclusively.

[long flicker]

by default, yeah

[cedar vector]

how does this work?

[long flicker]

you put a bunch of big brain stuff into your ini file and then dinos spawn naturally in places that they don't spawn in by default

[cedar vector]

and question number 2 which map should i play im pretty new so

[long flicker]

the island, nice and basic, good to start on

[static fjord]

island is a good starter map

[cedar vector]

valguero or crystal isles

[long flicker]

valg

[static fjord]

valguero, crystal isles is a mess

[long flicker]

yep

you can also transfer between maps btw

[static fjord]

dont go to scorched earth, aberration or genesis 1 otherwise youre going to get slaughtered

[long flicker]

yeah they're fun maps but not very fun for beginners

[cedar vector]

no im gonna cheat at the beginning tho, like the basic stuf ;-;

i hate the beginning

[static fjord]

cheat all you want, its your game and whatever gives you fun, do it.

[cedar vector]

ty

can u 2 decide cause idk

valguero or crystal isle

[static fjord]

valguero

[long flicker]

as an example
this is my ini for spawning baboons everywhere
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesRedwoods_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="monke 2-6",EntryWeight=0.30000,NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1.000000,1.00000,0.600000,0.200000,0.150000,0.050000),NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Dinopithecus_Character_BP_C","Dinopithecus_Character_BP_C","Dinopithecus_Character_BP_C","Dinopithecus_Character_BP_C","Dinopithecus_Character_BP_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=0.0,Y=0.0,Z=0.0),(X=300.0,Y=0.0,Z=0.0),(X=-300.0,Y=0.0,Z=0.0),(X=0.0,Y=300.0,Z=0.0),(X=-300.0,Y=350.0,Z=0.0),(X=300.0,Y=200,Z=0.0)))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Dinopithecus_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1)))

wivern, I see you endorse cheating

[cedar vector]

in the console?

[long flicker]

smh my head

[cedar vector]

how does a x-tapejera work

[long flicker]

no, in ini files
Don't worry about them for now

[long flicker]

wdym "How does it work"

[static fjord]

well its a game and games are meant to be fun

[long flicker]

smh my head

[cedar vector]

like spawn in valguero

[long flicker]

still, cheating reduces the fun most of the time
there are many better alternatives

[static fjord]

yeah but some people like to cheat, whatever gives you fun, go for it.

[cedar vector]

not gonna overcheat tho just a small hut and basic armo stuff

[static fjord]

personally i dont like to cheat but that doesnt mean that everyone shouldnt cheat

[long flicker]

cheating is cheating, no such thing as "overcheat"

[long flicker]

I like to call it
Tactical item spawning

[cedar vector]

question

thats my last one xD
if id like to carry more stuff do i need to put the indicator to the right or left

like in the options

[static fjord]

which option

weight per level?

[cedar vector]

bruh cant even send screens heck

[cedar vector]

ya

[static fjord]

you need to dm them to people

you put the slider right

[cedar vector]

kk ty

[untold lynx]

My desert titan is losing health like he’s starving but doesn’t have a food stat?

[cedar vector]

bruh i just realized i play valguero already xD

[long flicker]

bruuuh

[frozen mesa]

anyone want to trade

[cedar vector]

are in crystal isle all wyferns?

[long flicker]

only crystal wyverns

[cedar vector]

sadge

i need another map ;-;

please make more free

[frozen mesa]

theres real wyverns in rag

[cedar vector]

can i play genesis? or do i need to buy it?

[terse rain]

I've been away for a while. Why are all the official servers practically dead

[cedar vector]

like ark stories on the top

can i play them?

[static fjord]

all the story maps are paid

theyre all extremely worth it though, you can get a lot of hours of fun on just 1 map

[regal yarrow]

Because ark mutations are broken lol

[visual lynx]

question

why everyone says that the spino is bad on island?

[terse rain]

Mutations? Like breeding

[thin granite]

Any idea why if i put night speed at 8.0 it crashes when booting server, but at 3.0 its fine?

[long flicker]

because they're a big pain to get

[visual lynx]

i mean yeah but its kind of worth it in my opinion

[long flicker]

not on the island it's not

[visual lynx]

managed to get 4 spinos in an old server

[long flicker]

on ab or other maps, spinos are great
on the island, eh

[visual lynx]

i think they are pretty good for farming meat or killing alphas

[long flicker]

as good as rexes, and rexes are MUCH easier to get on the island

[long flicker]

on ab tho, you should get one as soon as you're hte level for it

[visual lynx]

im gonna go to ab after defeating the island bosses

[frozen merlin]

why cant i build on the mini mountains on the island map?

[cedar vector]

can someone tell me how to tame a titanosaurus??

[regal yarrow]

Spinos are faster and have better dps than rexes just because they attack so much faster

[regal yarrow]

Cannon to the face lol

[long flicker]

and also much squishier
sure, water boost
still eh

[regal yarrow]

I mean, I'll take speed over hp any day

Of course it depends on the terrain and circumstances

Only thing rexes really have over spinos in the tek saddle

[frozen merlin]

why cant i build on the mini mountains on the island map?

[long flicker]

and in this case we're referring to the island

I love both spinos and rexes but I'm not about to go out of my way to tame spinos on the island

[regal yarrow]

There is a lot of difference on terrain on the island lol

[dense furnace]

ay what do we know about fjordur? ive been out of the loop

[regal yarrow]

And if I am pvping in carno cave I would rather use a spin than a Rex lol

[long flicker]

the fact that you'll see about 2 spinos on the island at any time

I think that comes under terrain

[regal yarrow]

I mean, rexes aren't common either

I have never had too much trouble getting spinos

[long flicker]

rexes are WAY more common than spinos

sure, if you're transferring them in then that's fine

[static fjord]

only tame spinos on the island if you by chance stumble upon a good one, otherwise you'll waste way too long

[visual lynx]

a level 500 spino is good?

[static fjord]

idk, whats your max level

[visual lynx]

max level?

[static fjord]

whats the highest level dino that can appear in your world

[visual lynx]

but its tammed

and the max level it think its 400 maybe

its a x3 server so im not sure

im just telling the highest wild dino levels i could found

before i tamed it i think it was 336

[cobalt shale]

are tek trikes real... or have i been lied to

[long flicker]

they're real, but only on gen 1

[swift leaf]

haha spekaing of exactly this

I realized earlier that there's no tek dodos

i wish there were tek dodos!

Also I juuuust realized i've been farming polymer with an Argy

.. instead of using my sword

[swift leaf]

I think it's related to difficulty level, plain and simple ; if max level of wild dinos is 150, then max level is 450

[silent matrix]

Do beavers harvest fungal wood at the same rate as normal wood

[swift leaf]

(From my research it seems so, but I never played Aberration)

(on that topic, used to think I wanted a 'roides for the wood... turns out theri is even more amazing than I remembered)

(no 'roides needed)

(... altho admittedly it could be nice to find a dam and endure the 'roid rage for that cempaste)

Oh something unfunny happened to me today

was visiting the pitch black cave in Ragnarok

my Argy got eaten by a megalosaurus

It was really no fun, literally nothing I could do

next time I'm going with my own mega

[wispy frigate]

Nope
Tamed dino cap only exists on official

[swift leaf]

That doesn't seem to be what people say online, especially in mutation guides ; apparently it does apply on community servers too, upon restart

I can't tell you for sure just yet, but I'll be trying to heavily mutate some argies soon so I might be able to get a definitive answer

[slate widget]

its a setting, unofficials can enable it and change what the level cap is.

[swift leaf]

I see, so it is enabled by default, I simply could lift it if I wanted to, correct?

[slate widget]

no, its disabled by default

[swift leaf]

Oh, alright! Good to know, thanks

[wispy frigate]

What melon pumpkin said
Its enabled by default on official and disabled by default on unofficial

[slate widget]

not a melon

[wispy frigate]

Gah I keep forgetting lol

[swift leaf]

(and @slate widget) I can't seem to find the setting for my server

https://ark.fandom.com/wiki/Server_configuration

And I can't seem to find much info online either, other than people saying that you guys are right

But I'm curious to know how I would enable it if I wanted

[slate widget]

just put the level you want to be max :P

[swift leaf]

That seems to be it, thanks! where did you find that tho

# ../Game.ini

[/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode]
DestroyTamesOverLevelClamp=450

Quoted from here https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/639692-level-cap/

took a surprisingly large amount of research to find it hehe

[slate widget]

its on the wiki page you sent, I just searched by level :P

[swift leaf]

Yeah, just the setting wasn't listed on the wiki I usually use, so I'm curious where you got yours from, I should use your source from now on I think

Oh then I just sucked at searching LOL thanks a lot

[slate widget]

I believe genesis creatures will be able to go 50 levels above the cap and you can't change it

[swift leaf]

During my research I found that there could also be some itemp clamping on official, is that correct?

[swift leaf]

Interesting, good to know for when I get there

[wispy frigate]

The ini line is on this link

[slate widget]

yeah, lot of stuff for that one tho :P

[swift leaf]

Oh I didn't even notice the official values are also listed there, thanks a lot

[swift leaf]

Yes, I was just bad at searching hahaha, thanks

[ember raft]

anyone selling a megatherium? buying asap

[grave needle]

Do you get exp from killing your own tames with friendly fire

[shrewd hill]

is there a cheat to enable PvP mode without leaving and restarting the server?

[shrewd hill]

yes, especially baby's

[gilded forge]

Fastest way to get Hide?

when i say hide i mean like 4 milion

[grave needle]

Whenever I kill this one particular dino with the S+ multi tool it crashes my game and rolls back like 15 minutes. Only this one specific dino. Any idea what thats about

[grave needle]

Go crazy with a giga

[gilded forge]

where?

[grave needle]

Literally everywhere, kill absolutely everything

[gilded forge]

oh ok ty

[wispy frigate]

Chainsaw baby ovis

Giga works too, but (depending on breeding rates) ovis gives more quicker

[static fjord]

wouldnt speedrunning alpha hunts with a basilisk and then buying hide be quicker?

[regal yarrow]

Chainsawing phiomia and sauropods lol

[regal yarrow]

Lol, yeah, but thats the secret strat, we cant have everyone know lol jajja

[wispy frigate]

Ehhh

Not sure how quick that is but I can’t imagine its quicker than ovis

[vernal pewter]

what are you going to do?

[static fjord]

well you get like 34k hexagoms

around 28.3k hide per alpha hunt which shouldnt take too long with a good basilisk

[olive rover]

genesis part 2 gives you a free, infinite fuel Tek suit I love this game

[wispy frigate]

Velo hunt with giga > basilisk for any other hunt

But each hunt would take 15 ish minutes, ovis can give as much in like 5 minutes (but that’s assuming no mating cooldown)

[static fjord]

not everyone has the velo hunt

[wispy frigate]

The person is on pc tho

[static fjord]

15m? the dinos hp dont change, they just get increased resistance which gets ignored

[wispy frigate]

Giving them more effective hp

[static fjord]

cheaper by the pack has like no hp and still drops just as many hexagons.

effective hp doesnt matter with basilisks.

[wispy frigate]

Not talking about basilisk lol

[static fjord]

then i doubt youre even beating the mission to begin with.

[wispy frigate]

.

[static fjord]

do we even know how much hp the velo and raptor has to judge which is faster

[wispy frigate]

Does it really matter?

They would still take 10-15 minutes to do

[regal yarrow]

Velo gives great gear too, so its worth

[static fjord]

its a raptor.

not sure where to find the raptors hp considering wiki says the base is 800 and then mentions that it has the hp of a gamma megapithecus (180k) which doesnt seem true.

[regal yarrow]

For a raptor mission?

[static fjord]

yeah cheaper by the pack with a basilisk

[gilded forge]

@vernal pewter my tribe wants sto do alpha dragon but they said we have to get the resources to cover the resources for the fight

and the armor and all the saddles need like 4milion hide even tho we already have 4milionhide

[regal yarrow]

wait what?

I have 140 armor saddles, and they take only 200k for the whole set

[wispy frigate]

What kind of saddles need 4 mil hide for only 20 of them lol

My saddles needed like 102k, not 4 mil

[gilded forge]

idk im a nooob they said if u really wanna do dragon alpha to get all the resources to cover and they ave me a list

i got like 800k silica pearls i need 400k more and ive gotten 3mil hide so far

its taking so long xd and i got like 2k element

[wispy frigate]

Is this an overhaul mod? Jesus

[gilded forge]

its for 16 therizino saddles 4 ghilli sets and 4 flak sets and 1 yuty saddle 2 daedon saddles and something else

idk i didnt look at the sets

theyve just given me a list to recover our rss

[wispy frigate]

Don’t take daedons

The theris will heal enough on their own and the daedons will just die

[gilded forge]

idk im not the dragon expert here they kinda chose the dinos if it were me id go with 19 rex's and 1 yuty

i meant dinosaur*

[wispy frigate]

Rexes are worse than 16 theris and 2 daedons lol

[gilded forge]

OH

2 daedons and one stego and one yuty

thats what it was

i had forgot lol

im on unofficial

[wispy frigate]

🤦‍♂️

Just… don’t

[shell lichen]

🛑 R E D 🛑 are the best

[gilded forge]

my tribe told me to Kill brontos and chainsaw them @wispy frigate

so ive probly killed like 300 brontos or more

[wispy frigate]

Eh ovis give more

[static fjord]

did you actually calculate how much hide you need because 4m is way too much

[gilded forge]

i have made a bronto breeding thing so than i can always chainsaw

I didnt calculate lol my tribe member did hes the expert he has like 4k hours

[wispy frigate]

Brontos have like 100x higher mating cooldown than ovis

[gilded forge]

i have less than 300 hours

[wispy frigate]

Hours ≠ good

[static fjord]

your hours dont mean anything when it comes to looking at saddles

[gilded forge]

well the one guy keeps all the bp

cuz one of our members kept losing them

[static fjord]

like all to himself so no one can have them?

[gilded forge]

yeah so we dont lose them

[static fjord]

ask him how much 1 costs

[regal yarrow]

I mean unless you have like 40x bp rates then it shouldnt take nearly as much hide as that

[grave needle]

@wispy frigate I know you know a lot about bossing, have you done rockwell solo?

[regal yarrow]

What server are you on?

[gilded forge]

min il show u the stats

[static fjord]

assumjng youre making 16 then thats 250k hide per which is like ?

[regal yarrow]

Because if you dont know these guys irl it almost sounds like they are exploiting you for farming lol

[static fjord]

true.

[gilded forge]

its 20x it says

[static fjord]

yeah but whats the lootcrate quality

[regal yarrow]

Unless you are in a big official pvp tribe there is noo reason for there to be that much need for resources lol

[gilded forge]

level 10 it says

[static fjord]

lootcrate quality 10? yeah seems like theyre exploiting you

[gilded forge]

idk the dinos go up to 300 and the teks 360

idk its taking forever and from what ive seen its like 30k per saddle

[grave needle]

Are they providing the dinos?

[gilded forge]

or less

but i have only seen them once in the past

[static fjord]

the lootcrate quality goes up pretty slowly once youve reached a certain point so 250k per is ridiculous

[gilded forge]

but the armor might cost alot

[static fjord]

ghillie isnt that expensive.

[gilded forge]

idk i saw a tek set once and

it was 2k element per piece

[static fjord]

yeak tek stuff is just super expensive

my tek bow bp was like 5k element

of course i made it, its a 700% damage tek bow.

[desert comet]

Does anyone have 7 dedys of ele dust i could buy on offical

[gilded forge]

the ghillie has 543 dura and 419 armor

i only have one piece on me atm xD

[static fjord]

how much hide does it cost though.

[gilded forge]

il ask them if i can see

[regal yarrow]

If they dont let you see, for real quit and make your own tribe

[gilded forge]

they said to kill Titanosaurs but il be honest i dont think i can kill one

i mean my wyvern does hit alot so maybe it hits like 1k something i mean not sure the exact number

it has 12k hp

[regal yarrow]

what level is it?

[gilded forge]

150

but its a low level compared to the rest

[static fjord]

are they giving you the short end of the stick in terms of dinos too.

[regal yarrow]

Did they give that dino to you?

[gilded forge]

no i didnt know where my wyvern went they keep a useless pile for all the wyverns

its a random one from them at first we were using Pt's

but we got a bunch of crystal wyverns

they give me a giga it like one shots everything so im happy with that atleast xD

[static fjord]

if you add up the sum of the hide and its nowhere near 4 million then you should leave the tribe.

[gilded forge]

yeah

[grave needle]

If they're giving you the dinos it makes sense that you'd pay for more than the saddles

[static fjord]

i just realized they might want more than 16 saddles to get the perfect amount of crafting skill

[gilded forge]

im not particulary upset i am enjoying it but its still taking alot of time and idk but the guy said he has to Mind wipe and put all in his crafting skill

to craft all than he has to relearn all engrams

[static fjord]

not sure why he wants to reroll so many times considering you dont need that good saddles for alpha dragon, the main damage comes from the % based breath

[gilded forge]

idk

[floral storm]

is there ANY way at all to get back lost singleplayer data? (xbox series S)

[static fjord]

no

[floral storm]

they need to add a warning to the "delete all singleplayer data" button 😭

56 hours in abberation, gone

in the blink of an eye

[static fjord]

there isnt a warning? there is one for the single map delete

[floral storm]

theres no warning for total deletion

none at all

either that or I just clicked the A button twice in 3 milliseconds

[prisma kraken]

just wondering, but anyone else get a login lock error for joining a server?

[regal yarrow]

Yeah thats normal, but you said you already had 4million hide, if I had that much I would make 100 saddles for all the different armies I had, and would still have leftovers

[regal yarrow]

Well, now you know. At least 56 hours isnt a long time as far as ark goes lol

[floral storm]

yeah ok but its still 56 hours of my life

[regal yarrow]

Yeah its not fun, just make backups next time

[floral storm]

how do i make backups on xbox

i also had a mutated raptor, rip rapoda

[grave needle]

Yeah there is a warning

[floral storm]

then idk what happened, but i didnt get one

[tough yarrow]

@languid berry #735196267373920286 for lfg

@uneven scarab keep this channel on topic please.

[pastel hemlock]

Daaaaaamn these ravagers are savages! They're soooo OP imo. I'm definitely gonna tame a shit tone of them and breed them. I kinda like them

I'll stack up 20 mutations each in HP, Weight&Melee

This is gonna take a while but I'll do it

[weary marsh]

How do I hook up wind turbines I’ve got mine top of my house but it’s not powering my fridge

Do I need electrical wires for it too

[grave needle]

Not worth that much effort tbh

[pastel hemlock]

How on earth did you manage to get 5k element!!!? That must took you ages to farm

[cunning kernel]

Depends on map if they will power or not

And where you build

[grave needle]

Gen 2 makes farming tons of element super fast

[pastel hemlock]

@grave needle well, if I find some super good post tame stats. I might just imprint them and use them. They're the best for gathering runs in ab

[grave needle]

For early game yeah

I outgrew my ravager really quickly, I only use it for ziplines now

[pastel hemlock]

@grave needle damn. I still haven't reached that point. Still in Aberration. Don't know how am I gonna solo the alpha boss here

[grave needle]

Prioritize getting good spinos asap

You'll quickly be able to move on from ravagers with those

[pastel hemlock]

@grave needle what do you use when you go out to collect resources? They're the only ones with weight reduction

[grave needle]

At this point I use a karkinos carrying whatever the ideal harvesting tame is

Even a cannon tamed low level karkinos will be a massive upgrade

[pastel hemlock]

I don't know, man. Those crabs are not worth the time. They're pretty hard to tame

[grave needle]

Super easy with a cannon

Line up one shot and it's down. They're the quetzals of ab so no matter what they're worth it

[pastel hemlock]

But they keep moving nonstop and I keep missing.

Guess I'll look up some other traps

[grave needle]

Super easy trap design if you're going to do a cannon tame: place one stone dino gate, then one on either side flared back just a bit

It doesn't need to be enclosed since cannons get it in one shot

[pastel hemlock]

I've tamed one once and I got killed like two hours after that.

[grave needle]

Then aggro it to the center gate, line up your shot, boom

[weary marsh]

Thank you guys I got it working

[silent matrix]

What whare u trying to tame

[pastel hemlock]

Hmmm, I might give it a try again.

@grave needle 1 shot even for high levels?

[grave needle]

Just keep in mind cannons give bad taming efficiency, so don't waste time looking for a perfect one

Yeah. The tradeoff is you get 61% efficiency

[pastel hemlock]

Well, I don't care. I only need them to carry my gatherers

[grave needle]

Yep exactly

I went for one that was only 90ish, after only a few levels it has 12k hp and 1500 weight

They're super good

[pastel hemlock]

Damn that's nuts. I'll definitely try and find one today.

What is the best shoulder pet in AB?

[grave needle]

Shinehorn imo

Its regen is sliiightly below glowtails and featherlights but it's capacity is way higher. Not as high as bulbdogs, but bulbdogs have trash regen

[wispy frigate]

I have but… not very well

Died like 3 times to gamma and 4 to beta lol

[grave needle]

Oh damn, well that's terrifying

[wispy frigate]

But yeah I can give some tips about it

[wispy frigate]

Nah I’m just bad at controlling a drake lol

[grave needle]

Ah I feel you lol

I have some good stegos and a 100 armor stego BP. I've read that some people like to have a few stegos following them on the drake for protection. Do you think that's worth it or should I focus on attackers?

[wispy frigate]

You decide

[wispy frigate]

Uh I haven’t particularly heard of that strat but it sounds like it wouldn’t effective enough to make up for the loss of damage to rockwell

[grave needle]

Yeah that's kinda what I'm thinking too

[wispy frigate]

If you were to use stegos I would have multiple people on multiple stegos

[strong mason]

Bulbdog all the way

[grave needle]

Also do you think spinos are viable attackers or should I really try for megalos

[wispy frigate]

Capacity isn’t everything

[strong mason]

I don't play abberation so idk what any of that means

[wispy frigate]

It depends
Megalos have much more health and damage, but they can end up spamming their alt and doing almost no damage
Spinos have lower health and do a bit less damage, but they’re consistent

I would use megalos because they haven’t given me problems in the past, but I’ve heard they’re very frustrating for others

[grave needle]

Hm alright, that makes sense. I have a 36 health/38 melee spino line but that's probably not good enough anyway, so I guess I'll just go for megalos

Thanks for the tips!

[pastel hemlock]

Oh thank you. This'll come in handy.
But what about special abilities? I kinda like it that bulbdogs can discover max lvl dinos nearby

[wispy frigate]

They all can

[grave needle]

Yeah was gonna say my shinehorns do that too

[pastel hemlock]

Nice. Thank you very much , guys!！

[regal yarrow]

Only thing I see is that shinehorn are bad lol

[wispy frigate]

Shinehorn is best tho

Its the jack of all trades, master of none

[regal yarrow]

Lol

[wispy frigate]

Most balanced

[regal yarrow]

They make great snacks when you are in the blue zone

[wispy frigate]

However technically capacity is worth more than regen in terms of time usage, so bulbdog might be better
But also, bulbdog is flat out ugly. Shinehorn much cuter, therefore better

[regal yarrow]

Featherlite are the ones I like, just because they have the best range. And I like to see without using gamma

[wispy frigate]

Featherlight are terrible
The one I’d least use

[regal yarrow]

Lol, really?

[wispy frigate]

Gamma is good enough for me

[regal yarrow]

gamma is hax lol

Ab is soo much better when you get jumpscared in the dark jajaa

[wispy frigate]

For you maybe

[regal yarrow]

If I am playing pvp then yeah I use gamma, but for pve I really like the survival experience that not having it gives

[wispy frigate]

I’d rather just not have to use either

But nooooo
Everything has to be extremely dark at night

[regal yarrow]

Lol, it does get unrealistically dark at nights in ark jaja

[grave needle]

Why must it be completely impossible to find notes on ab

[silent matrix]

Facts

Shinehorn are best light pets

The bulb dog is so ugly I rather have a pegomastax on my shoulder

[wintry geyser]

Who is on small tribes Xbox and is doing master controller

[fiery cobalt]

can anyone recommend a descent discord server for ark?

[silent matrix]

Qui joue

[barren grove]

Glowtails are worst but look the best

Shinehorns are the best tho

[bleak fog]

does anyone know how to type in chat on Xbox, I used LB + the two square buttons but it didn't work

[olive rover]

so, do airdrops have different levels based on where they spawn?

or is it just random

[rich nexus]

Any one want to start a new ark world with me on the island longterm btw and don't leave

[wispy frigate]

Wdym

[olive rover]

sorry, meant supply drops

[wispy frigate]

Wdym by different levels tho

[olive rover]

they have tiers?

[wispy frigate]

Ah, then yes

Supply drop map can be found on the wiki

[austere bolt]

What would be good harvest amount for primal fear with a stacking mod

[gleaming pike]

Can someone teach m how to play

[lunar thicket]

What do you play on

[night dragon]

So, I have a question, I haven’t played ark since... awhile and I’m dying to play again, but I’m on ps4 atm. Do the servers wipe? If they do when? And is it like...? To late to play? Is it dead or are the islands mass taken? Just confused

[grave needle]

What's the best spot to find megalos on ab

[lunar thicket]

Pretty sure the blue zone but I don’t remember haven’t played aberration in a while.

[weary holly]

What are the rates on Nintendo switch? My niece has ark on it I just don't know the rates or is it single player rates. Also, is there a way to play with other players?

[olive rover]

I finally built my first actual base that isn't just an open area blocked off with spike walls

It's only a basic wooden house, but it's a home for me

even got some windows and a back door

[floral storm]

genesis part one really isnt that bad once you start to get going, honestly

it's probably actually my favorite map

hot take

but i havent tried part 2 yet (i wanna beat part 1 first, duh)

[grave needle]

Is there a reason I can't damage my own dinos even with friendly fire on

[slate widget]

are you using another dino?

[grave needle]

Yes

[misty turtle]

Dinos cant damage dinos

Unless it wyvern

[lunar thicket]

On the switch you are going to have to buy Nintendo switch online. That’s the only way you can play with other people on any game.

[misty turtle]

Gigan rage

I think

[grave needle]

Are the servers even live still? I thought They abandoned switch

[lunar thicket]

It would make sense if they did

[misty turtle]

Switch dead long time ago

[lunar thicket]

I mean switch just sucks for ark

I was messing on the imprint settings and now my pt has over 16800900000 health and insta kills titans, I didn’t even tamper with the tamed Dino stats at all. I am kinda confused but also I also think it’s funny.

Also it was only 40% imprinted

[rotund osprey]

Damn these win10/Xbox updates have absolutely ruined arks gameplay constant crashes and freezing unplayable for more than 5 minutes without a freeze. Then forced to restart over and over again fix this dev team

[dense furnace]

anyone know good PVE base locations on rag?

[floral storm]

sounds like a last gen problem 💀 /j

but its probably just a problem with what you're playing on, cause i haven't heard anyone else having that problem

[wispy frigate]

Official servers do not wipe (except arkpoc which wipes every 30 days)
Unofficial servers generally do wipe, but its up to the admin as to when they do (and sometimes they don’t)
Its never too late to get started, and each server varies a lot. They typically aren’t dead tho

[dense furnace]

why is this triceratops' head glowing

[slate widget]

(beginner and classic :P)

actually is classic only on PC

[floral storm]

it might be the pack buff thingy

[wispy frigate]

Forgot about beginners, idk what classic is

[dense furnace]

the red cloud? like for a pack leader? its not that

[wispy frigate]

It senses a large aggressive creature nearby
It gets a small buff towards the creature, but thats it

[dense furnace]

is there a screenshot channel

[slate widget]

then its likely only on PC. it changes a bunch of stuff about ark 🤷 making it seem "classic" idk. its run by snailgames not wildcard I think

[night dragon]

Thank you, I appreciate it, and hopefully it isn’t too late to start. I really wanna play again, I just am confused about one more thing. I’ve always had a tactic of making a boat and moving to a diff coast, did they add the whale thing to stop that? Because this is the third time I’ve spent all this stuff to build a base for him to suplex it like randy ortin

[slate widget]

yeah, the whale likes to eat boats.

[wispy frigate]

Yeah Leedsichthys hunt down rafts to eat them
As long as you stay near the shore you should be good tho

[slate widget]

if you have it (doubtful :P) you can drop honey in the water and it will stop attacking 😂 no idea why thats a thing

[dense furnace]

but the other trike isnt doing it

ive never seen one glow like this

[slate widget]

its an effect trikes get sometimes.

[floral storm]

how do i get shell fragments in genesis?

[wispy frigate]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ then its out of range

[dense furnace]

wack

[wispy frigate]

Kill megacheleon

[dense furnace]

i didnt know trikes did that

[floral storm]

oh god, those things?

is there a good dino i could use for it?

[dense furnace]

its weird, like one of his color regions just turned to a pulsating red

[floral storm]

can you send me a screenshot of it?

[dense furnace]

sure

[slate widget]

I think its this.

[floral storm]

nah no way its that

he just sent me a screenshot, ill send you it

[wispy frigate]

Any, they’re weak

[floral storm]

might just use my sarco then

[wispy frigate]

They are tanky tho

[floral storm]

no duh

the things a carbonemys on crack

[grave needle]

Whyyyyy do rock drakes insist in flying off in random directions I'm not pointing lmao

Just chucked my spino train into the element river 😐

[slate widget]

Lol

I'd disable the rock drakes climbing if you have other dinos following you.

[compact stream]

Where would people recommend buying Ark servers?

[silent matrix]

How hard is bee cave in crystal isles

[rough prism]

Hard as me

[silent matrix]

3 minutes and i can demolish this tribes’ base. Let the looting commence.

[rough prism]

Nice

Also nice argy pfp

[silent matrix]

Thanks. Love evolved colors, not muts, but i love her

[silent matrix]

That base was absolutely loaded. Three full cryo fridges, full tek replicator, couple fridges full of Crystal wyv and deinonychus eggs, all sitting on stone foundations. I’m actually going to sequester these cryos for a week or so because i feel bad. They clearly left the server tho, there were tames out front a couple weeks ago. Today generator was completely empty, and if you were just going offline for a while wouldn’t you fill your gen with gas. Full gen lasts over a month. Anyway, I’m stoked.

[iron geyser]

how about an unban today?

[paper nimbus]

In theory, would you be able to KO a karkinos with a chalico?

ARK: Survival Evolved

[iron geyser]

its been 10 days

[midnight knot]

Today I discovered that when I join a discord call, Ark auto enables my in-game mic.... I have the push to talk key disabled, I was very inconvenienced, having to re-enable the B key, then unassign it again. I wish Ark wouldnt enable my in-game mic when I join a discord call.

[midnight knot]

Grats, I raided a PvE base with several friends today. FeelsGoodMan.

[midnight harbor]

wtf should i do

im so damn bored im playing cookie clicker

[silent matrix]

Same

[rough prism]

Nice

[silent matrix]

I haven't uncryoed my chali in a while

I need to test it out

[distant swallow]

Do baby megalodons eat from a trough or do I have to hand feed it

[wispy frigate]

No

Well
In theory, yes
In practice, no

[paper nimbus]

Dangnabbit. Would be a lot easier with a chalice

[wispy frigate]

Ark logic

[paper nimbus]

then should i yolo a karinos with a paracer? im trying to do anything BUT use a trap, karkinos traps are pain

[wispy frigate]

Because of ff placing?

[paper nimbus]

nah they're just finnciy for me. i always end up messing stuff up

[wispy frigate]

Ig you can try paracer but I think a trap would be easier

[paper nimbus]

slingshot

[wispy frigate]

New plan, steal the angry birds slingshot and use it to tame giant crab

[gloomy tendon]

how do i crack an egg on the egg incubator on ps4

like what button

[wispy frigate]

The button labeled “hatch egg”

[gloomy tendon]

it’s non existent

probably bc it’s not mine and it’s another tribes, they’re just gonna do it for me

[paper nimbus]

its honestly a crime we can't use catapults as transportation

[wispy frigate]

Or even cannons

[paper nimbus]

when you're raiding a base but then they pull out the dodo cannons

[wispy frigate]

Oh god

[paper nimbus]

imagine actaully using a dodo cannon to blast poeple into oblivion

[wispy frigate]

Nah, a doed cannon

That would hurt

[paper nimbus]

massive damage

or a microraptor cannon, top 10 weapons too brutal for war

[wispy frigate]

Pego cannon

[paper nimbus]

first you get hit then you get mugged

[wispy frigate]

Stealing your items at 300 mph

[paper nimbus]

imagine if pegos had an angrier variant that mugs you with a knife

[wispy frigate]

“Oh god its a pego with a knife!”

[paper nimbus]

hand over the podded giga

[wispy frigate]

Even giga bite aoe cannot hit the master of thievery

[paper nimbus]

• knife falls through mesh *

[wispy frigate]

If pego and ichthy teamed up

[paper nimbus]

first they steal your ranged weapons then the ichthy eats your mutated giga

[wispy frigate]

And then they steal your melee weapons

And then they eat 200 narcotic each and don’t fall asleep

[paper nimbus]

and then the ichthy goes too far and steals your liver

[wispy frigate]

Please wc, don’t make this the fjordur boss

[paper nimbus]

the kingpin icthyornis

capable of eating your tames then selling thier organs on the black market

[wispy frigate]

“The black market” being the hexagon shop

Buy your dead tame’s organs!

[paper nimbus]

when you go to page 2 of the hexagons shop

"parasaur liver"

[wispy frigate]

When you need someone to donate but you’re on sp:

“Gigantopithicus kidney - 20k hexagons” yesss

[paper nimbus]

description: instantly heals any wounded gigantopithicus

[silent matrix]

I'm pretty sure they do eat through a trough

[silent matrix]

I want to make an edit so bad

I can't post it anywhere though because it's gonna count as a meme

[brittle grotto]

:/

[quartz kraken]

today I find out I was stupid and overlooked some obsidian😂 then again it was next to an Alpha carno so

[quartz kraken]

if I wanted to get a stryder just for Fighting Alphas what should I put levels into just battery cap?

[iron geyser]

how about today?

[quartz kraken]

found a rocket turret in a drop😍

I also tamed 3 or 4 maewings lol

I just found a Tek grenade launcher ascendant I didn't even know that existed😂

[solid shale]

Ima make that can I dm you it?

[arctic copper]

Hey mate,
Managed to fix the problem?
I got this Lost Island Fatal Error too till I removed some spawner mod. Tho I want to bring this mod back.

[placid sundial]

Dm the message

[iron geyser]

how about now

[eager loom]

best way to get oil on lost island?

[iron geyser]

best way to get unbanned?

[torpid hemlock]

oh my god you're still here?

it's not happening just stop

@static fjord i gave up on scorched earth, one goddamn microraptor knocked me off my mount near a enraged megatherium and i lost 3 irl days of work

if i see a microraptor again i will rip it to shreds

[torpid hemlock]

leaving this server and shutting your trap

[iron geyser]

bob

[torpid hemlock]

lmao is that all you got?

mr. i got banned and am crying here for days

you're not getting unbanned. Realise it

[long flicker]

there's better ways to say what you said

[long flicker]

and you, I get that you're pissed but there's no point in coming here all the time for it

they aren't gonna help you

[ancient badge]

oil pump, rock oil near volcano, swim in deep ocean.

[paper nimbus]

ah yes, the negotiator

[long flicker]

what can I say, I'm just so smart

[paper nimbus]

i can tell by the expression on your pfp

[long flicker]

ofc, my amazingly handsome pfp

[paper nimbus]

also TIL that you can't use a chalico to huck rocks at a crab and KO it

[long flicker]

it doesn't do torpor

[torpid hemlock]

hello bob

[paper nimbus]

yeah ik. my hopes and dreams of using the poop zebra sloth to enslave a giant crab are now ruined
(brand new sentence)

[long flicker]

hi

[torpid hemlock]

my ark addiction kicked back in and im back on scorched earth hardcore

[long flicker]

rest in peace your dreams of using poop zebra horse to enslave a giant crab

AHEM
ab, not abb
also, real money transactions aren't allowed

so posting an ad for irl money transactions on the official discord is not the brightest of ideas

wonder if it was a mod or if he deleted it himself

[zealous nebula]

[long flicker]

there's my answer

[torpid hemlock]

hey while you're here can you deal with the other guy please

[long flicker]

which other guy?

[torpid hemlock]

this dude

[long flicker]

oh the guy who's pissed because he got banned for no reason

nah he hasn't done anything worthy of being muted or warned

[torpid hemlock]

"no reason"

[long flicker]

yes
no reason

[torpid hemlock]

being annoying daily doesnt count?

[long flicker]

nope
else you'd count
ha gottem

[torpid hemlock]

was that meant to be funny

[long flicker]

:C

[paper nimbus]

yes it was hilarious

[torpid hemlock]

shut up mouse caterpillar with a top hat

[long flicker]

mouse caterpillar?
where's the mouse part

[paper nimbus]

tone down the salt a bit, young one

[torpid hemlock]

sorry im just really pissed rn

[rough prism]

Ello

[long flicker]

ok I'll bite
pissed because of what

[long flicker]

greetings

[torpid hemlock]

@long flicker^

[long flicker]

oh
ye microraptors do suck

[torpid hemlock]

once i get a wyvern, i will eradicate them all

[long flicker]

@paper nimbus what do you think of #general

[paper nimbus]

like rn or as a whole

[long flicker]

rn

don't start here, you'll make bluestone change the channel's CD to 1 minute

it's happened before

[paper nimbus]

i mean i can kinda see where he's coming from, but at the same time he's being a real scallywag

[long flicker]

the fuck is a scallywag

[lethal elbow]

Bluestone dictatorship

Not in my country 🦅🇺🇸🦅

[torpid hemlock]

what's bluestone

[long flicker]

bad ideas?

[paper nimbus]

a fun little thing to call somebody, like rapscallion and dingledong

[torpid hemlock]

what the crap is your pfp

[long flicker]

venting in a discord that you hate might not be the best idea

[lethal elbow]

Black kid eating corn dogs

[long flicker]

"bad ideas"?

[paper nimbus]

ah yes, somebody will read that and think hey that sounds like a jolly ol' time

[long flicker]

I'd still say, server channel is better than random DM

[paper nimbus]

i agree

[long flicker]

oh, blitz is muted now

[paper nimbus]

well that sucks

[long flicker]

ehhhhhh I can't blame bluestone

he's not really wrong with what he's saying

[torpid hemlock]

ark is officially the first game to make me cry

good job devs, you've created a true torture device

[lethal elbow]

Crying over a video game lmao

[torpid hemlock]

perhaps

i dont feel bad at all

guys what does heatstroke in scorched do?

[long flicker]

it makes you have a heatstroke

[torpid hemlock]

errr and?

what effect does that have

i havent had a heatstroke irl that i can remember

[long flicker]

don't remember

when in doubt, check wiki

[torpid hemlock]

thanks

[iron geyser]

how about now?

[torpid hemlock]

do you really have nothing to do lol

[iron geyser]

now?

[torpid hemlock]

🤦

[pastel latch]

by how much should a rex's melee increase if i level it up 1 point? its increasing about 200 per point right no bt idk if thats normal cuz i messed with the settings a bit

[long flicker]

jesus christ that's boosted
usually the amount depends on the rex's beginning stat

[primal spear]

What is the best mod for stacking items?

[static fjord]

ini

[primal spear]

?

[static fjord]

using stack ini is the best way

[long flicker]

indeed

[primal spear]

how to do that?

[long flicker]

google is your friend

[static fjord]

check pins in bobs with probs

[primal spear]

I just googled

[static fjord]

eclipse says how to do it in pins in bobs with probs

[primal spear]

which items that you guys mostly stack first?

Meat and Honey?

[pastel latch]

oh no. i changed the settings back to normal but its still boosted 😐 maybe because i tamed it before changing the settings back

[long flicker]

it won't "stay boosted"

its stats will be updated as you change your settings

[static fjord]

element and hard polymer to make those big bps easier to craft

[long flicker]

prime, mutton, honey, milk, org polymer and corrupted nodes

[pastel latch]

really i changed everything back to normal but the stats are the same 😭

[static fjord]

personally i think making single stack items stack makes them too good, like as in theres no real disadvantage

[placid sundial]

If you set the melee to 1, it's not default. Defaults are listed on the wiki

[primal spear]

@long flicker How much you put them on?

[placid sundial]

Also singleplayer settings tick box massively boosts it

[long flicker]

20 for meats, 5 for honey and milk

[pastel latch]

i should put it on 0? it was originally 1 tho

[primal spear]

and polymer?

[long flicker]

ye but I also hate having my inventory full of prime that only stacks to one

[placid sundial]

Default is 0.14 for melee

[long flicker]

100, though I'm thinking of only having corruptd nodes to 100 and org to regular 20

[placid sundial]

One of them, at least

[static fjord]

good point but ive only ever found that an issue on extinction, in which i disable resourcing harvesting

[placid sundial]

Don't remember the other default melee values. Check the wiki

[pastel latch]

thanks!

[long flicker]

I want the regular meat and hide, just don't want to prime to clog up space when it's not even very useful late game

[placid sundial]

Managed to find a pic I had lying around. 0 is health, 8 is melee
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/735188902603653201/897088306066636820/unknown.png

[static fjord]

i mean when i meat run im usually going for parasaurs, dodos, raptors, you know?

what does the [0] and [8] mean

[long flicker]

no idea

[placid sundial]

Health and melee respectively

[long flicker]

I go for anything that moves and breathes

[placid sundial]

Doed op
