Even if the raft is over deep water?

[stray mauve]

Can motor boats be destroyed by c4?

[ebon zodiac]

someone can tell me like the rank of drops like worst to best at gen2

[manic wren]

question

does the ultimate survivor bundle on steam include every map

[crimson cloak]

anyone have seen grifins on lost island, i play on official and no one has seen one in a week on the server?

[slate widget]

yes.

[lyric narwhal]

Ah the desmodus

i guess it will be an onyx v2

[lyric narwhal]

they dont spawn there

from what I remember

[manic wren]

thank you.

[crimson cloak]

there was 2 spawn on the island but none have been seen since the event

[covert sparrow]

how do i make custom recipes

[crimson cloak]

cooking pot, paper and ingredients

[modest perch]

i have a issue in my ark server if anyone can help me i have a server on ark-io server and i cant find he tells me the server is running

[crimson cloak]

recipe should be made with a crafter

[nova mist]

You guys know how I can’t get maps like scorched earth or aberration on ps4 cause there isn’t a place that says buy

[slate widget]

you need to buy it in one of the bundles. the season pass bundle (contains scorched, aberration, and extinction) or the ultimate survivor bundle which contains all DLC but that also contains the base game :P

[nova mist]

But isn’t that only a limited time

[slate widget]

No, its just a bundle

[nova mist]

Oh ok so if I get it I’ll keep it forever

[slate widget]

yes.

[nova mist]

Ok thanks

Those are also the maps I need

[stark glade]

can someone help me im trying to set up a cluster so i can transfer from ragnarok to crystal isles in a multiplayer dedicated server, every time i try to transfer to the crystal isles server i crash and it says connection timed out

[wet saffron]

how do i make electric generator work? i wanna breed an Army of Rex

to go kill monke

guys, how do i power A/C??

[tough yarrow]

You need gas. Place oil and hide in a forge, with a fuel source, and then turn it on.

[wet saffron]

how do i connect the generator with ac?

[tough yarrow]

You need to make cables and outlets in the fabricator, make sure to learn the engrams

[wet saffron]

what is outlets?

is it necessary?

[tough yarrow]

Electric outlets, you'll need to attach cables to the generator, and then connect an outlet to a cable so that it will power the acs.

[wet saffron]

ok

[tough yarrow]

If you'd like, here is the (new) ark wiki page for electricity https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Electricity

[wet saffron]

ok

[torpid current]

Anyone ever have a problem with creatures not being able to get XP? It seems to have happened just recently. They are not max level, either. They are like at 5/7000 xp. No matter what I kill, they get nothing. If I upload/download them at a terminal, they can get xp for a level or so and then it stops again. No idea how to fix this

[rapid bloom]

is ther a way to upload pnt fille for custom flag on ps5?

[silent matrix]

I want to collect enemy dermises but my dino always breaks bodies is there anyway to make the dino unable to break bodies

[violet rivet]

turn passive

[silent matrix]

I am riding dinos but Im being attacked by other things is there a way to make the dino be unable to harvest the body even when hitting it?

[wispy frigate]

Not really, no
Other than just having it on passive

[violet rivet]

i think it'll always harvest

[silent matrix]

Oof

[wispy frigate]

It always destroys the body but you can enable/disable resource harvesting

[silent matrix]

How do u get boss dermises then if dinos Auto harvest?

[violet rivet]

they don't harvest boss body

[rapid bloom]

boss decays on iots own

gotta be quick with tool b4 u tp out tho

we have...

[gentle aurora]

Is Ark PC like really bad with a older PC??

Just got a older PC idk models or anything about it but I’m installing Ark on it rn

Jw if anyone knows if it’s even runnable

@. Me

[long flicker]

we need to know the specs, not just "older pc"

[gentle aurora]

How am I supposed to know specs

How do I check I’m new to the whole PC stuff

Literally just got it set up today

After 3 years of it in a box

[long flicker]

task manager, second tab

[gentle aurora]

???

Gotta help me get to there step by step Dm me mate

I’m like so stupid when it comes to PCs all I want to do is play Ark 🤣

[wispy frigate]

Can just
Google what task manager is

[long flicker]

those were the simplest instruction I could give

[gentle aurora]

Aight I’m a try my best

And lyk

[long flicker]

when in doubt
google it out

just right click on task bar (bar at the bottom) and click on task manager option

[gentle aurora]

I got to the performances

What am I supposed to look at ?? CPU

Or like what am I looking 4

[long flicker]

now click on CPU, tell me the stuff written next to "CPU"

same for memory, and GPU

[gentle aurora]

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz

Is for the CPU tab

[long flicker]

and RAM?

[gentle aurora]

Ram?

TF is ram

[long flicker]

right below the CPU

memory

[gentle aurora]

What about it?

[long flicker]

^

tell me what's written next to "memory"

[gentle aurora]

8.0 GB DDR2

[long flicker]

and GPU?

[gentle aurora]

There is no GPU

[long flicker]

go to processes and right click, sometimes GPU is hidden

[gentle aurora]

I cant find it

But judging by what u see

U think I can run Ark with low graphs at least?

[long flicker]

well, if you're fine with 2 fps and shitty looking graphics

[gentle aurora]

Ffs

Rip ark dreams

@long flicker Ty for your help

Even tho it wasn’t the best news I still appreciate it mate

[primal flare]

How do I go about getting fur the easy way

[long flicker]

kill yuties

[primal flare]

Guess I'm farming gunpowder and making a ak

[timid pebble]

I mean it depends on your area and map
Horses, beavers and otters also give fur

[regal yarrow]

A shotgun would be getter honestly

[stark rivet]

Yo when does easter event end

[long flicker]

25th

[stark rivet]

Cheers

[timid pebble]

Okay so
If I give someone a chibi and they level it up to 5
And then they give it back to me
Will I get bonus max levels or not?

[glad grotto]

Chainsaw ovis

Even with a primitive one you're looking at 150 or more per sheep

With a okayish bp and a high level ovis you can hit 250+

[vestal pasture]

is there a bug breeding sino? Bred 2 sino, both had 660 stamina when they were born/tamed Baby had 435

[strong mason]

Guys it's for a a challenge, how to I make the heaviest custom food possible

[wet saffron]

is there a command that fully heal a dino?

[long flicker]

ride it and then use infinitestats twice

[wet saffron]

???

[paper nimbus]

yes, it gives the dino infinite stats, then takes it away. after that it is full health

[wet saffron]

ohh ok thanks so much

[paper nimbus]

or just do refillstats @wet saffron

[topaz gull]

why is the space zone on official different than single player (gen2)?

[long dome]

If I transfer to another map and I have a dead bag in the map will it disappear? In a all map cluster

[ivory vortex]

Bruh I’m gonna name my desmodus Morbius

[vestal pasture]

Do scorpions still randomly lay eggs or only when you force them?

[prisma sand]

It’s not. The biome changes every in game night at 24:00.

[worthy pagoda]

What does baby gacha eat?

[fluid brook]

Stone iirc, it must be near it's parents and it's parents will share food with it, it's on the wiki btw

[worthy pagoda]

Parents are cryopoded

[fluid brook]

Then you should release them and put some food in their inv

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Gacha

[glad grotto]

Use refillstats instead

[long flicker]

yeah I noticed that's a thing

[heavy cedar]

does anyone know of any spyglass mods that only show you the dinos lvl that you are targeting?? Like basically just the awesome spyglass but only showing lvl

[placid sundial]

the vanilla spyglass?

[heavy cedar]

yea but like it showing the lvl on the side even if you are not currently targeting it...

[long flicker]

so instead of "Awesome spyglass" it's just "slightly better spyglass"?

I wonder if there's a mod like that
though I doubt it

[placid sundial]

'Vanilla spyglass but on the side'?

[long flicker]

lmao yeah that's what it sounds like

[placid sundial]

yeah, ask any UI modder, widgets are a mess to work with. not worth fighting with for.. effectively nothing

What's the benefit from pinning a level to your screen, out of curiosity?

[heavy cedar]

so that it's easier to see, you don't even need to zoom in and it also shows the outlines of dinos

[placid sundial]

Since you already know the level from looking at it and won't be getting feeds of health, torp etc

[placid sundial]

But you wanted a spyglass that only pins the level of a dino? not the tek suit vision?

You want a spyglass that shows the level of a dino from looking at it without zooming, right

Not necessarily pinning it

Super spyglass does but it shows stats

[heavy cedar]

yea pinning it

and I feel like it showing the stats, hp, torpor and food is kinda hceating

[dusk meteor]

What is ARK 2?

[placid sundial]

By 'pinning it' I mean having it stick on your screen when you're not looking at it. And I don't understand the benefit of that- genuine quiestion

[placid sundial]

That's a fair opinion, but I doubt you'll find anything, given spyglass mods generally exist to show exactly that info (UI modding is a pain to work with, so unlikely anyone will make something for such a small edit)

[heavy cedar]

yea exactly

I bascially found it

the configurable spyglass mod

you can tune it however you would like

[placid sundial]

Good to know!

[heavy cedar]

only annoying thing is that you can't hold other things at the same time...

you need to hold the spyglass to see any info

[celest pewter]

I don't use the spyglass mod because it feels way to cheaty just hunt for the binoculars 🤷‍♂️

[heavy cedar]

fair i guess

[plucky jolt]

in gen 1 when u teleport do ur dinos drop all their items like if you used a cryopod or do they keep the items

[light solstice]

Anyone else have the problem you can’t download your character right now on pvp servers ?

[heavy cedar]

they keep their items

but it's not very reliable...

sometimes your entire dino might be left behind or mby some of your dinos might come but not the other dinos

[terse hare]

someone who sells boss?

on smal trib

[outer shuttle]

yo i need slot for boss i offer everything on official

[silent matrix]

Starting fresh again on smalls with two of my buddies, looking for someone who is able to help us out and build on their server in turn we’ll be your right hand

[silent matrix]

How do you get dlcs on ps

[timid pebble]

Alright so this is gonna be a hell of a thing to plan
Lost Island
That cave somewhere near the north where Glowtails spawn
What would I need to prepare for it?
Standard stuff or are LI caves worse than usual?

[soft narwhal]

Which map looks better?
Fjordru (i hope I wrote it correctly)
Lost island

[muted eagle]

Fjordur

[muted eagle]

That’s the spelling

[cunning kernel]

@viral shore I cannot wait for these bats to be added but for me that torch bow is a no. These bats imo should be in a location that's all but pitch black and terrifying forcing players to use what we already have............night vision goggles! Imagine seeing these beasts glowing nvg green knowing that if you break them you're all but blind like them

[wispy frigate]

Fjördur is bigger and definitely has some unique biomes, but li looks really good also

Fjordur will probably be a lot laggier

[timid pebble]

This still stands btw
I have no idea what I'm doing

[wispy frigate]

Which cave?

[timid pebble]

Hell if I know
Somewhere near northern center of the map
I haven't even been on LI yet I just know Glowtails spawn in only one cave there

[wispy frigate]

Oh the ab cave?

[timid pebble]

Looks to be about 30 55?

[pulsar rose]

How do transfer my charcter through. A transmitter

Please help

[timid pebble]

The names mean nothing to me I have no clue about anything regarding LI

[wispy frigate]

If glowtails spawn in it then thats the ab cave

That one is relatively dangerous iirc

[timid pebble]

Well that sounds promising

[wispy frigate]

Theres aberrant raptors which are the worst part about the cave

And then ravagers which will bleed you down

[timid pebble]

Should I invest in a ghillie suit?

[wispy frigate]

But other than that its not too bad

[timid pebble]

How much would bug repellant help?

[wispy frigate]

If you take a monkey you won’t need either

[long flicker]

ghillie suits are pretty cheap anyway, go for it

[wispy frigate]

Nearly everything ignores dinopithicus

[timid pebble]

No, you see
I am trying to pacifist run it

Well that implies I have a dinopithecus

I am not sure I can manage to tame one as a pacifist? According to the wiki you gotta kill all of the pack but the alpha to tame them

[cunning kernel]

Gonna take some beating to be laggier than Li 😂

[timid pebble]

Though maybe immersive taming would overcome that

[silent matrix]

Are there deinonychus on li?

[wispy frigate]

Li really isn’t that bad apart from polygon dino

[wispy frigate]

No

[silent matrix]

Why can i unlock their saddle then...

In engrams

[timid pebble]

Fairly sure you can always unlock deinonychus and trope saddles?

[wispy frigate]

One of two reasons that are both guesses

But deinon saddles are linked to the island map, so their saddles are unlockable anywhere

[silent matrix]

Thats stupid

[timid pebble]

Eh

Okay so for the Ab Cave you're saying . . . Monke
Anything else or would the monkey literally handle all of it?

[fervent crown]

Does current ark on the switch offer unofficial servers already?

[cunning kernel]

Li has been all but unplayable during the event. It doesn't crash like gen2 but the rubber banding or freezing on the spot for 5 mins at a time. It's not unique either as I'm on my 6th Li server moving around everywhere so I'm hoping forkfloor will be nailed in before launch

[wispy frigate]

Speaking from a sp perspective

[wispy frigate]

Why? Not like the game forces you to

You can always just… not unlock it

[novel cargo]

i

ewnnoono

[wispy frigate]

Well literally everything in there ignores monkeys so you can run past through them
You will need to dismount for the artifact tho

[hasty shell]

Where can i find yuty and rexes on SE ?

[timid pebble]

The artifact is irrelevant
The issue is dismounting to tame the glowtail

[cunning kernel]

Rex South desert area, yuti in mountains

[timid pebble]

I'm going there literally just for the glowtail, the rest I don't care about

[wispy frigate]

Ah

[cunning kernel]

Glowtails easier to get on gen2 if you have it

[timid pebble]

Not possible

[wispy frigate]

Or on ci

[timid pebble]

Our cluster is the Island and LI as of now

This will be the adventure for the ages

[cunning kernel]

Are there glowtails on Li? Interesting

[timid pebble]

In one cave, yes

[cunning kernel]

Good to know

[wispy frigate]

Probably 4-5 in the cave

[timid pebble]

Yeah that process is gonna suck I reckon

[wispy frigate]

They can actually spawn in a tunnel thats between some bad stuff so if you get lucky you could get one without needing to fight things

[timid pebble]

There's ab mushrooms in that cave ... Right?

[wispy frigate]

Not afaik

I tried looking for some and couldnt find any

[timid pebble]

This suddenly complicates the process

And I assume there's none on LI as a whole?

[wispy frigate]

I don’t think theres the plants

But I think there are the mushrooms

[timid pebble]

So it's at least possible to feed the damn thing then, okay good

[wispy frigate]

Yeah ascerbic mushrooms are on li

[timid pebble]

Good that's one problem out the way
The second is getting rid of carnivores when you can't fight them
Net projectiles only hold them for about a minute right?

[wispy frigate]

One minute yeah

[crimson terrace]

Do gigas always lose their minds and forget they’re aggressive when trspped?

Cos he aint attcking me

[wispy frigate]

Sometimes

Ark ai isn’t very good

[timid pebble]

Yeah that's gonna hurt

[crimson terrace]

Noob giga gonna die to a maewing

[topaz oasis]

on official what's like the max amount of wood in a stack

[cunning kernel]

100

200 for thatch and 100 for stone

300 for fiber

[vocal obsidian]

how can i breed wyverns ?

[cunning kernel]

Male, female, enable mating

Same kinda wyvern mind

[crimson terrace]

Take opposite genders of the same species (poison with poison, lightning with lightning, etc.) and they give an egg

[vocal obsidian]

enable matting button not showing

[placid sundial]

do you have mods?

[prisma sand]

Get rid of the flyer mod

[vocal obsidian]

yes

[vocal obsidian]

ok thank you

[prisma sand]

No problem. Super common issue with that mod.

[placid sundial]

It actually has a config for eneabling breeding iirc... But there's a dozen other reasons to get rid of it regardless

Use the tickbox on the menu and save yourself from overspawns and headaches

[silent matrix]

Well yeah but someone who didnt know (like me) would go searching for them for days and not find any

[timid pebble]

That's why you check the wiki

Spawns stopped making sense somewhere around Ragnarok released

[placid sundial]

Saddles also aren't a flawless indicator for whether something spawns on a map or not. Plenty of creatures don't have saddles

Indeed, the wiki is your friend

[vestal pasture]

Most maps need their loot tables redone. Aberrations are a mess. Couple years ago I spent time redoing them to make sense. Much better to play.

[silent matrix]

Ark switch is acting up again.

Can 2 rexes max tamed at max wild level with 1k melee and 20k hp hand a red osd with a prim saddle

[violet rivet]

Prob not

[hasty shell]

Fire wyvern egg isn't in the game anymore or ? After 2 times in the big scar and in the wyvern nests i can't find any fire wyvern egg only lightning and poison am i just unlucky ?

[violet rivet]

Just unlucky

Keep clearing the scar it’ll spawn eventually

[hasty shell]

Yeah

[violet rivet]

[hasty shell]

But with all of that i got a lvl
132 lightning wyvern
140 poison wyvern
144 poison wyvern
When they were born they were this lvl

[violet rivet]

That’s good!

[hasty shell]

I imprinted the lvl 132 and the lvl 140, the lvl 144 is hatchling

So i think i'll try manticore with wyverns, i didn't find yuty and rexes so just wyvern will be good if i go search others i think

[violet rivet]

They’re not that great unless you are flying on them

[timid pebble]

Do I absolutely need to kill off the pack of Dinopithecus around the alpha or would it work if I just kidnapped the alpha?

[heavy cedar]

how long do super heats last on scorched earth??

[timid pebble]

Well, pack leader. Alpha sounds confusing in ark context

[dim lodge]

I've got 3 rexes with around 65k health and 1286% damage, 2 rexes with around 35k health and 1200% damage, all prim saddles and mate boosted, are these gonna be enough for alpha center arena ?

[hasty shell]

Even like 15 high lvl imprinted ?

Like they'll be flying, death worm and golem won't be a problem

[timid pebble]

Flying wyverns are absolutely terrible at hitting things from my experience since they have a massive turn radius

[violet rivet]

Around 5 min

[heavy cedar]

ah...

[timid pebble]

Also iirc lightnings can damage you and your tames can't they

[violet rivet]

You need rexes for manticore

[timid pebble]

I would never take them into boss arenas if that is indeed the case

[violet rivet]

Wyverns sucks when not rode

I know you probably want to get the boss done ASAP but if you lose everything during the boss it isn’t worth I

[violet rivet]

Maybe 3 more rexes

[dim lodge]

Damn

[violet rivet]

And a yuty

[dim lodge]

I'm gonna get a yuty for sure

[violet rivet]

Remember that brood other is in that fight too

[dim lodge]

But i don't wanna grind 20 hours more

[glad grotto]

yes

[violet rivet]

So it’s tough

[dim lodge]

Im gonna boost stats then

[glad grotto]

they WILL kill you if you dismount mid attack

[reef wyvern]

just kangaroo up to the ledge and shotgun ez

[violet rivet]

Ew efficiency

[glad grotto]

as for this, fires are a bit better bc of the spread

lightnings need some careful hands to keep on target when moving/turning and poisons are well just hot garbagio for anything that's not got a rider on it

[timid pebble]

I imagine lightnings would hit but would do more damage to your tames than the oponent

[hasty shell]

And phoenix are good ?

[glad grotto]

it depends. If you are careful you can avoid friendly fire

but the beam tends to jump a bit so it gets iffy

[timid pebble]

When not ridden?

[glad grotto]

nah lol

when it's not ridden you're at the mercy of whatever it decides to hit

[timid pebble]

Yeah that was my point here lol

[glad grotto]

crystal wyvs don't hurt friendlies tho iirc

i'll need to do some testing to see how accurate the ai is with lightning

if you swarm it with lightnings tho then it'll be fine bc wyverns are immune to their own damage type

[dim lodge]

Not fun

[silent matrix]

So how many rexes for a red drop if they have prim saddles

how do i use global chat on pc?

[violet rivet]

A lot

You need a better saddle BP

[violet rivet]

Enter?

[silent matrix]

What's the best way to get a rex bp on rag then

[violet rivet]

Ocean drops

Or cave drops, they must be red

[silent matrix]

cause i need to ask the alpha on server some questions and couldnt figure out the button

Is there an alternative my game lags like crazy in ocean

[violet rivet]

No

[silent matrix]

Is ice cave good for drops?

[violet rivet]

It’s okay

[silent matrix]

been playing with my buddy in a call so havent needed to use chat the whole time

[violet rivet]

Enter is how I talk in chat

You can use tribe chat with slash

[hasty shell]

Oh a sandstorm, now i have to wait it to end to bring my yuty back.. i hate this game sometimes

[silent matrix]

i figured out tribe chat but my one and only tribe mate is also my roommate soo

[violet rivet]

It wouldn’t be fun if everything always went your way

[floral dove]

ok so my base is still owned by a level 140 rex. All i have is 2 raptors because i just started this world but i still have good stuff in my base. If i breed my raptors and make a big army do you guys think i can kill it?

[violet rivet]

Just try and lead it away

[magic tulip]

Yes but also just lead it away as pomue said Xd make a bunch of sleeping bags and just run for your life (with empty inventory) XD

[floral dove]

i can try haha

[violet rivet]

^you

[floral dove]

yus

[hasty shell]

So in the south of SE ?

[floral dove]

wait i have an idea, i can use my best raptor and lead the rex to an army of my raptors and try to kill it. The raptors will die but then with my strong raptor i can finish it

[cunning kernel]

Yes, follow the river bed South and when you get to the end as it joins the desert there are normally 2-3 rex knocking around

[hasty shell]

Okay, thanks you !

[sour crystal]

Dose anyone know if i can kill the final boss on the island with my friends on a official server?

[floral dove]

what one?

[sour crystal]

Any server

[fluid pivot]

Ahere do i find ovis on the island? I cant find a female one

[wet moat]

Check around the frozen mountain towards the north

[hasty shell]

Yuty and a rex acquired

[fluid brook]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Ovis

[fluid pivot]

Currently looking around the second mountain in the snow and so far nothing

[wet moat]

They are rather rare. If possible, killing dinos around the mountains could help free up spawns for ovis.

[fluid pivot]

Are they not a limited spawn like a giga and titano? If not then thank god

[wet moat]

No not like that. But just a rare spawn in general.

[fluid pivot]

Ok thank goodness, i dont want another giga situation

And the second mountain says its a less rare spawn then any of the other locals so ill try killing everything on the mountain with a rex and see if one spawns

[wet moat]

I usually have luck with that same mountain as well. Those ovis to tend to blend in rather well.

[fluid pivot]

Only issue is... its on a mountain meaning high chance for a giga spawn

I killed 2 gigas thus far, one on the volcano and one on that same mountain a while ago

[cunning gulch]

how do i improve my render distance?

[fluid pivot]

I dont think you can unless theres a setting i didnt see

[cunning kernel]

The tek cave? No reason why you can't providing you know how to, have the dinos, have relevant armour, food, drink, soups etc

[barren raptor]

What’s the best option for the Tek cave? Like can you take a giga down there ?

[violet rivet]

Official or unofficial

You can throw it out from a cryo

[barren raptor]

Official

[reef wyvern]

tek chest and shotgun, and some tame or glider suit to make it down the volcano

[violet rivet]

I think you can throw it out from a cryo

[reef wyvern]

you cant

[violet rivet]

But can’t take it into overseer

[barren raptor]

I thought you can’t use cryopods in the tek cave ?

[violet rivet]

Not on official no my bad

I did tek cave on offficial before Cryos

[barren raptor]

Ohhh right so have to fight all the way down ?

[violet rivet]

With rexes

[reef wyvern]

no use blood stalker or gas bag, or even glider suit if ballsy

[fluid pivot]

Beat dinos for the overseer fight itself is good saddled rexes, allos, with a yuty buff

[violet rivet]

Yes

You’ll lose all but 10 of your creatures I think

If they survive the overseer

Because anything left in tek cave dies

[fluid pivot]

You can replace rexes with theris do to the overseer transforming into the dragon

[violet rivet]

Basically you’ll want to fight your way down but you will lose a lot of creatures

[fluid pivot]

Unless you kite all the dinos into the lava somehow, like with a sino or something

[barren raptor]

How many dino’s can do the final fight after the cave ? The usually 20 ?

[silent matrix]

How do u get chibis during Easter event

[barren raptor]

A tek suit can do that bit right ?

[fluid pivot]

If i recall you can take up to 50 tames in with 20 survivors. Might be wrong tho

[keen echo]

I’m new to the server and have a question is there a specific chat thing or one at all where ppl help ppl with crash errors? I’ve been crashing all day after removing a mod and can’t figure out why so this is my last resort or I have to suck it up and play with the mod..

[fluid pivot]

And if it is that much its best you dont take that much, the cave is full of narrow paths meaning if you whistle all attack on something then they might fall into the lava and you might not be able to get them back

[reef wyvern]

no you cant use tek suit in the volcano only in the boss arena

you can just use a glider suit, bloodstalker, or gasbag to get down there

[violet rivet]

#bug-reports #server-reports

[violet rivet]

10

[violet rivet]

It’s easy to do if you bring them down in waves

Bring 5-6 rexes at a time

How many people will be going in with you?

[fluid pivot]

True but its mostly that timer at the top, thats the main issue, you have 1 hour to get past all the dinos in the cave, some being microraptors, kapros and like 1-2 gigas

[violet rivet]

If you take multiple people with you it’s not so bad

You can get down it in around 20-25 minutes if you bring 4-6 with you

[fluid pivot]

The one time i did it, not fully legit i had about 1 minute left when i got to the platform after getting about 25% of my tames down to the bottom, the rest fell into the lava and died

[violet rivet]

I had 6 people with me and we got down with 33 minutes left

[fluid pivot]

Keep in mind i was a solo player too so it was rough

It was also on alpha

[violet rivet]

Yeah I reran it as a solo once and beat it with 2:30 left

It’s def more stressful

[fluid pivot]

I only had 6 rexes if i recall, all of them were super strong and they were X rexes too if i recall, it was back when gen 1 released so i went to gen 1 and got some

[violet rivet]

Yeah that’s rough

I took 25 with me

Went into overseer with 1 yuty and 9 rexes

[fluid pivot]

I had about 20 or 25 of them and left the cave with just 6 and the final battle i had only 5 left

[violet rivet]

Rough honestly

[fluid pivot]

Yeah

[wispy harness]

Is it possible to go on separate island by raft?

[violet rivet]

Wdym

[wispy harness]

Is their any big fish

Which can destroy raft and kill us?

[fluid pivot]

There is one type of fish that can do that but youll know it when you see it

[violet rivet]

Yes

It is a whale will destroy your raft

[wispy harness]

Can we upgrade raft ?

So whale can’t destroy

[violet rivet]

It takes black pearls

[fluid pivot]

There is a motorboat but its expensive

[violet rivet]

Not worth it

[fluid pivot]

It also takes gasoline which is NOT worth the effort

[wispy harness]

Motorboat will not lift dino i think?

[wispy harness]

From where

[fluid pivot]

It can carry dinos but as said, its not worth it

[fluid pivot]

Deep in the ocean

[wispy harness]

Ok

[violet rivet]

Don’t waste pearls

[wispy harness]

Dm

[violet rivet]

Because you have to kill scorpions underwater that knock you out

[fluid pivot]

Ah yes... those things

Or kill an alpha mosasaur

[wispy harness]

Tch it will take long time to reach in lvl 38

[violet rivet]

Are you playing single player?

[fluid pivot]

Alpha mosas give a good supply of black pearls

[wispy harness]

Yeah

I don’t understand multi if server will kick you or get banned our data will be lost

[fluid pivot]

You wont get banned, unless you're obviously cheating, if youre playing official pve or pvp then thats just an iffy thing to even try and do, best option is to play unofficial servers

[wispy harness]

But too much lag and playing multi is like playing single

[violet rivet]

Until the owners quit paying for it

[fluid pivot]

True

[violet rivet]

I’ve been on the same unofficial for 3 years

And been on official PvE on steam for 2

[turbid sigil]

I think the Easter event is making it unplayable to play ark for me

[violet rivet]

Why’s that?

[turbid sigil]

The egg spawns are so much it takes up so many frames

And I’m on a Xbox

[dusty grove]

Server 105 ps4 smalls has been down for 12+ hours

[violet rivet]

Have you reported it?

[dusty grove]

Yes I have like 6 times already

[violet rivet]

It’s just a waiting game then

[dusty grove]

Rip

I just want my spider back

[violet rivet]

At least if it’s down for you it’s down for other pvp players as well

[dusty grove]

Lol you right on that

[floral dove]

My plan worked! Im home!

[timid pebble]

Okay so I can't find info about this on the wiki

Does quality of ghillie gear affect the stealth bonus?

[heavy cedar]

is there a command so that the entire map gets uncovoured?? Like so that it gets filled in with mountains, snow and water??

[nova mist]

What does private match when hosting non dedicated session do

[silent matrix]

Any singleplayers here?

[glossy totem]

are magmasaurs on ragnarok??

[timid pebble]

No, Ragnarok is older than Magmasaurs

[torn dagger]

So me and my friend have a quetzbase and the quetzes now have no more stamina what do we do?

[silent matrix]

alguien español?

[torn dagger]

What

[violet rivet]

Cry as it falls from the sky

[mental inlet]

whats the best way to get cementing paste besides dams

[violet rivet]

Chitin/stone

[mental inlet]

any other ways?

[violet rivet]

Snails

Or tame a frog and kill bugs

[mental inlet]

ohh ok

[violet rivet]

Are you on the island?

[mental inlet]

yes

[mental inlet]

ya but it's pretty slow

[violet rivet]

Tame a saber tooth or a direwolf and hit up the chitin cave

Not the swamp cave, the chitin cave

[mental inlet]

wheres that?

[violet rivet]

It’s by the volcano

In between it and obsidian mountain

[mental inlet]

ok cool thanks!

[violet rivet]

It’ll have scorpions , snakes, bats, and arthros

[mental inlet]

makin a big hex base with glass

[violet rivet]

So bring med brews/antidotes

[violet rivet]

Make sure to share it in #building-screenshots when done!

[heavy cedar]

I just found a wild argent with 38 points in mele... holy shit

vanilla btw

[outer shuttle]

someone selling boss official ? dm

[fluid pivot]

I was looking for a female ovis but found a 110 male ovis

Not what im looking for but ill take it

[heavy cedar]

nice... wrong but still nice 😄

[ornate coral]

Hello im currently Looking for someone Thats willing to Trade Dinosaurs for element Dust Ark Offical 1X

[fluid pivot]

Definitely worth the one piece of cake to tame. A perfect backup

[mental inlet]

im at the wiki. whats the official name of it?

[fluid pivot]

BRUH theres a third male now....

[oblique iris]

I was in the redwoods and In valguero and I found a dinopitheus I thought they only spawn on the lost island

[fluid pivot]

They do only spawn in Li, is it tamed?

And is it unofficial?

[oblique iris]

It's not on official

[fluid pivot]

So they (the owner of the server) modified it to let them spawn on that map probably

[oblique iris]

I didn't tame it though as I'm working on so yea lol

Yes

[dusty grove]

Why is server 105 smalls on ps4 down?

It heals your tames

[oblique iris]

I don't know sorry haven't played the map before

[dusty grove]

I swear

[untold notch]

swamp

[tight violet]

Is a 130 Tapejara good

prior to taming

[untold notch]

someone killed my ankalysoar

I will find u

[odd raft]

Who’s tryna play some either pvp or pve

[untold notch]

im just trying to get a hold of the damn plant x seeds

[fleet dirge]

how much hp shouldi have on my megalos for beta rockwell

[fluid pivot]

Those plants give extra regen to tamed dinos and if you get the seed of the plant you can basically have flash bags

[silent matrix]

I just got the game, it is almost done installing. All I know is Dino and survival does anyone wanna show me the ropes and teach me a lil bit of the basics

[fluid pivot]

I cant play along side you but i can give a few tips

When starting, spawn in the south, dont go inland until you get a flier

Make a small base in the south and tame a few beginner dinos (dodos, dilos, parasaurs, trikes, and when ready aim to get a high level pteradon)

[silent matrix]

Thanks for the tips :)

[fluid pivot]

I would say look for explorer notes but sense youre new you can find them on your own and get the reward for finding them one by one

[ornate coral]

Do the Mission terminals On genesis Two.. Reset if theres a Crash ???

[glad totem]

Best to start on a story map, as 1 they are easier but 2 they have explorer notes as previously mentioned.

They will help you level up faster as well as introduce you to the lore of Ark

[silent matrix]

Sick, thanks

[fluid pivot]

Best map to start on is the island, its the most beginner friendly of them all, scorched earth is rough do to the environment, aberration is hard do to it being different compared to the other maps before it and extinction and gen 1 are difficult do to them taking a long while to get to a good point to take on the bosses, and gen 2 is one of the more easier maps until you decide to leave the beginning zone and its a rough time

[wispy frigate]

Gen2 is far more beginner friendly than the island tho

Its very easy

[fluid pivot]

The eden zone is but once you leave that zone and enter rockwells domain it gets rough fast do to the dangerous creatures around

[silent matrix]

I keep dying

[wispy frigate]

Unless you count crashes and large amounts of lag as not beginner friendly - which if you do, I don’t blame you lol

[wispy frigate]

Just fly over everything lol

[slate widget]

besides the shadowmanes, nothing can touch you in the sky :P

[fluid pivot]

And also do to the lag if hes playing on a server

[wispy frigate]

.

[fluid pivot]

Mostly the crashes but in single player its perfectly fine

[wispy frigate]

Maybe on a new gen console lol

My ps4 has a stroke trying to go between biomes

[fluid pivot]

I have a super old console and it runs perfectly fine solo

[slate widget]

I think if you were on an xbox one X or a ps4 pro, it should be fine too

[fluid pivot]

When i played in a server it was kinda rough do to small lag spikes but its do to a guy mass breeding mostly

[slate widget]

not sure on playstation tbh, there are some issues with it dealing with old gen games ps5 doesn't run ark better then a ps4 afaik :P

[wispy frigate]

Somethings different then
I’ve had multiple crashes a day on gen2 and it gets very laggy (less than 15 fps) on sp, depending on the biome

[wispy frigate]

It should, theoretically

[slate widget]

should, but because of how it deals with them it doesn't.

[fluid pivot]

Xbox is just different ig idk lol

[slate widget]

ps5 gives old gen games the same specs (virtually) as the ps4 does to make it identical :P

they could've changed that tho, just what I heard when it came out

[fluid pivot]

What about the new gen xbox? I dont own one so i dont know what thats like

[slate widget]

xbox runs correctly with the new specs even before the enhancement that came out

[fluid pivot]

The one difference i discovered that the new gen xbox has over the old gen is the host barrier automatically being removed allowing full freedom on nondedicated servers

[slate widget]

thats only for the series X, the series S still has the tether (Its boosted tho :P over 100 meters more)

might not sound like a lot but thats 50% more I think :P

[fluid pivot]

Sounds nice

[slate widget]

I just host a dedi on my PC :P also means I crash way less and less lag :P

the less lag was the reason I did it orignally 😂 I used to play on the original xbox one so it lagged a lot when loading areas.

[fluid pivot]

Im playing on the original xbox one and when i played gen 2 solo the only time i lagged was when i was entering rockwells innerds, i just assumed it was do to it acting like a cave and it had to load in everything

[slate widget]

yeah, its caves :P

caves and other forms of teleporting like boss arenas

[fluid pivot]

Yup those are mostly what i lag to

[slate widget]

I said loading areas because on some maps like aberration it can happen at seemingly random points

[glad totem]

But story

[wispy frigate]

Story is good yes

[fluid pivot]

Rarely crash nowadays though, i used to crash a lot back when extinction was recently released

God those days were honestly bad, first day of extinction was me spawning in a rock

[wet saffron]

can i use a command to spawn a higher quality item??

[glad totem]

Yea admin commands let you do that

[wet saffron]

what command??

[glad totem]

Depends what you are spawning

For a pike Ascent
cheat gfi pike 1 100 0

[wet saffron]

ok

[glad totem]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands

Wiki has instructions if you need

[fluid pivot]

Oh come on ark really?! I wasnt wven near my ovis why did it count as me hitting it

[dusty grove]

Why won’t wildcard fix servers?

@tall minnow @viral shore @silent matrix
Can you just fix server 105 ps4 smalls please if put in multiple reports and it’s been down for 24 hours

[silent matrix]

Its been escalated but its a more complicated fix sorry.

[dusty grove]

Okay thank you I just want to know if you guys have looked into it

[wet saffron]

my army of super bred rex shredded a Megapithecus, even without Captain Yuty's buff...
they make a quick work of Megapithecus

within a few seconds...

[violet rivet]

Yes!

Monkey much weak

Kind of a lame boss tbh

[snow rover]

Can you open bunny eggs after the event ends?

[vestal pasture]

can you still use these new style scorpion eggs to make kibble?

[silent matrix]

hello lightning wyvern breath can hit allies? just got killed by my lightning wyvern by dismounting too fast i think

also almost killed my two rock drakes

[snow rover]

yes, on pve official, lightning breath from wyvern in your tribe will kill your own dinos and you

i use it for killing karkinos for harvesting polymer

[silent matrix]

mhm interesting thanks never noticed that before

[snow rover]

since that’s the only dino that I believe does that

[silent matrix]

im never touching it again

[snow rover]

and it doesn’t harvest since it’s a breath attack

[wet saffron]

true

Monke very weak

[violet rivet]

Yes

Dragon is a real boss

[wet saffron]

i use 6 super bred rexes

kill monke in 5 sec

@violet rivet dude, monke boss in The Center is even weaker

[violet rivet]

Yep LOL

The only hard boss has been island dragon

Overseer wasn’t bad unless in dragon form

[dense harness]

In my opinion center is a great map besides how annoying it is to cross the ocean early-mid game

[wet saffron]

Dragon real boss

Rex rush isn't really a good idea on a Dragon

u better off go for Therizino

Therizino rush :>

[violet rivet]

Meh

My rexes are mega bred and I have 150 armor saddle

[wet saffron]

Therizino (and all herbivore) takes reduce damage from Dragons

[violet rivet]

dragon is nothing to me

[urban tide]

yes

[wet saffron]

Monke is a piece of cake

[snow rover]

dragon is nothing with a magma spamming agro attack and decent manes

[urban tide]

or you can do rhino method if on pvp

[wet saffron]

spider... uhhh a bunch of bred Megatherium and a Yuty will be good

[violet rivet]

Rhino and moose

[urban tide]

ive heard of the deer method where someone rides on a tanky moose

[violet rivet]

Rexes are easier as you don’t need a mega line

[violet rivet]

Yes and the rest use shotguns

[urban tide]

it sounds so funny

[violet rivet]

It’s great

[silent matrix]

i dont know saddle stats but is 311 armor good?

[urban tide]

is that a bp or

[silent matrix]

i got it from a mission

its a saddle

[fluid pivot]

I just spawned a low level female ovis because the game thought i attacked my new female even though i wasnt and i was harvesting a dead baby ovis body

[old basin]

yo

i just started no idea what to do but i did tame some dinos

[wet saffron]

does speed costume effect Rock Drake gliding speed??

[long flicker]

speed costume?

[paper nimbus]

Egg

[long flicker]

wat

did they add something new this easter event

[paper nimbus]

The festive eggs boost movement speed

[long flicker]

ah I see

[wet saffron]

speed costume mod

[tough yarrow]

You'd need to look on the mod page

[long flicker]

yea

[manic slate]

Anyone on ps4 wanna play

[modest pier]

How do I get the new chibis?

I’ve tried using the eggs

[tough yarrow]

@manic slate #735196255483068497

[tough yarrow]

Place eggs and crack them, takes a while sometimes

[arctic pollen]

does anyone know if when the switch update comes out it will have unoffical servers?

[forest mirage]

hi, anyone know why the gen2 servers are crashing? literally is the 2nd time in this day that i need to wait like 1hour to get back in and its sooo laggy

[prisma sand]

Because it’s Gen 2. They have been like that since the map released.

[forest mirage]

lmao

its so frustating play on gen2, there comes a point that i cant move and i literally get disconnected every 10min

[prisma sand]

Yep. I stopped playing official servers because of performance. Unofficial is the way to go.

[primal flare]

how often do beavers and beaver damns respawn

[timid pebble]

Attempt two at the question

[slate widget]

I would very much doubt it.

[wind portal]

so im trying to tame something in my rented server its pvp and for some reason its not letting pick things up anymore can anyone explain this

[timid pebble]

I vaguely remember hearing it does once but I can't find anything about it anymore so yeah I have a sneaking suspicion it doesn't affect it

A shame, really, but oh well

[brittle sorrel]

How much more % on a bp can you get with crafting skill at about 1.3k? I think it's 30? I'n not sure tho, can anyone correct me on this? (PC, SmallTribes)

[violet rivet]

32ish

that's the highest i've seen on a good roll, pop a focal chili with it as well

[brittle sorrel]

So for a capped fabi bp should I look for a bp at least of 226 to get to cap? I got a 219% but I don't think that can get to 298% then

[violet rivet]

yeah

[severe lily]

i was tryna to re download this game but its 300gb lmao

[violet rivet]

it is indeed massive

with all dlc it's 240

without it's 170

[tranquil geyser]

It can be way more if you have mods

[prisma sand]

It’s a setting. I think it’s allow PvE flyer carry

Something along those lines

[wind portal]

im renting a server on gportal and idk if there is that setting ill look tho

[tranquil geyser]

Is the same setting as in single player

[prisma sand]

There should be unless gportal is different. If it doesn’t have a setting there’s likely an ini file you can add or change

[wind portal]

it was on so idk

[prisma sand]

What are you trying to pick up and what are you using to grab it

[wind portal]

argy and tribemate

[wind portal]

it was wroking like 10 minago

[prisma sand]

Might be bugged.

If it was working and just stopped It’s not a setting.

Server could be lagging or crashing I’d run a restart

[violet rivet]

eat berries

[wind portal]

i did

[violet rivet]

to be honest there's a lot you can do

[wind portal]

so idfk what to do

[wind portal]

5 years playing never had this before

[violet rivet]

inventory click rb

and go to crafting

and hit right trigger

it should show

[glad grotto]

In your crafting menu there is an icon top right of the panel

It's a speech bubble with an exclamation point I think

That's the toggle tooltips button. It will display the required materials when you hover over the items when it's enabled

[dense wren]

😂😂

[glad grotto]

That's a peak ark moment

[severe lily]

yeah but i only have 160gb left lmao and when i downloaded it it was like 50gb maybe

[tranquil geyser]

Ok

[compact ermine]

Can i tame a Giga in midgame?

[silent matrix]

If u have the kit go for it

[compact ermine]

I have like 400+ narc

And 98 shocking tranq darts

And have a lot of metal

Is it good?

But my Longneck rifle is just a normal Longneck rifle

[rare linden]

Can someone please Tell me the Basics of ark PvP? I need to know how to defent stegos. How to bild and i need good Server.

[crimson terrace]

do dinos prioritize the trough, or their inventory?

[silent matrix]

What lvl is the gig

[prisma sand]

Inventory

[wind portal]

what happens if u put loot quality to 5.0 how much better will it be

[silent matrix]

That would be an awesome tame

Would steamroll caves

[rare linden]

?

[silent matrix]

How u find that if ur playing spiderman???

[compact ermine]

3

I am too scared

But i saw a level 37 (dont judge)

[haughty dust]

whats better to tame spino or rex

[compact ermine]

Rex if you want a fighter

Spinos are fast tho

[silent matrix]

Spino for the craìc

[compact ermine]

@silent matrix i am good with level 3

And it is the safest spot to tame

[silent matrix]

U will have like 70 tranqs left

Trap it don't use rock btw

[compact ermine]

Its ok i have a narcoberry farmer

My lovely bronto

[haughty dust]

what is craic

[silent matrix]

Irish word

For fun

[compact ermine]

Give me strength @silent matrix my hands are sweating

[silent matrix]

I know the feeling

I tried to tame a 135 giga and it refused to enter the trap and killed my two wyverns

[compact ermine]

Btw @silent matrix what flyer will i use Ptera or Argy

[compact ermine]

Sad

[silent matrix]

ptera

[compact ermine]

Reason?

[silent matrix]

For speed

[compact ermine]

Hmmm why not argy?

[silent matrix]

Argy become giga kibble

[compact ermine]

LMAO

[silent matrix]

Very tasty big birds yes

[compact ermine]

Wish me luck i'll tame it

[silent matrix]

Wat map u on btw

[compact ermine]

The island

I just got the game a few months

Playing on ps4 btw

[silent matrix]

Go ahead lad

guys

is exist giga with 600 stamina in officials?

[compact ermine]

The giga was in the volcano then i lured him in near north💀

[silent matrix]

In tek cave???

yo guys

can u answer plz

Idk wat ur talking about soz

[compact ermine]

Same

[silent matrix]

is there a giga with 600 stamina?

If the giga was in the tek cave u can't tame it

[silent matrix]

I guess so

[compact ermine]

I gtg working on narc and trap

I'll tell u later @silent matrix

[silent matrix]

K gl

[compact ermine]

Btw thanks for the tips

[glass goblet]

are metal billboards enough to trap a giga

i cant be bothered grinding for gates

[prisma sand]

If a giga can’t step over them they’ll work

Gonna need a lot

[visual stream]

is playin with friends on epic games still hard to do?

[glass goblet]

i havent tried it myself but as far as ive heard its not difficult

[glass goblet]

i just tested it, much much much cheaper way than using gates which is great (providing its a somewhat flat land not mountain)

[severe lily]

can i somehow make the game take less space?

[glass goblet]

i dont rly think so, i mean its kinda obvious but you could just delete all dlcs youre not using/dont rly use

otherwise just invest in more storage ig

i have like 6tb of external storage which does the job lol but you could just buy a 500gb external hdd or smth

[compact ermine]

Hey btw before i make the trap one last question @silent matrix i have 240 life will i get one shot by giga or not?

[viscid fog]

you will get one hit

[severe lily]

ya cus rn the game is like 292gb and its a pretty big amount

[glass goblet]

how much total storage do you have?

[heady orbit]

Without fjordur its 400gb with all dlc

392 i think
I have everything downloaded

[silent matrix]

U will become ded. Very ded.

[viscid fog]

giga stronk

[silent matrix]

Giga called giga for a reason.
It is as built as giga chad

[viscid fog]

ye

[compact ermine]

How about full flak armor

[viscid fog]

still death

i have experienced it before

[compact ermine]

Sheesh

Now i am scared again

[silent matrix]

Same

Execpt my flak was mastercraft

[viscid fog]

thought I could take a few hits like with rex, lost my raptor

and then me

[silent matrix]

I lost 2 ice wyverns because of the same reason

[viscid fog]

it was max lvl raptor, im sad again

could take rexes man

[silent matrix]

My friend is still really pissed at me for loosing those wyverns

[viscid fog]

I cant find deinonychus eggs now

im in the place, but

no eggs, only fluffy chickens

and rexes and allos

[glass goblet]

bruh the amount of gigas/corrupted gigas on extinction is actually scary

[viscid fog]

ye

good source of giga hearts with op mounts tho

[glass goblet]

my only good mounts keep on dying lol

[severe lily]

160 lol

i could delete a few games to get more

[glass goblet]

i mean honestly theres some dlcs you can do without, unless you need the room i wouldnt stress

[severe lily]

but when tf did it get that big i remember when i played it was like 50gb or pretty low

[primal flare]

:3 while on the hunt for beavers I shall gather the materials I need for a indie forge, shall expedite metal production and gunpowder stuffs, the cave at about 80/90 is it easy or hard

[glass goblet]

if you dont have a need for the extra room then no need to do anything lol

[viscid fog]

island?

[glass goblet]

each dlc just adds more and more storage it gets out of hand lmao

[primal flare]

yeah, did some research and the cave I found was the lava cave

[compact ermine]

Hey @silent matrix will i use a gallimimus or a argy

(ptera has low life and cant handle my weight

[acoustic trench]

is running a dedicated server heavy?
i running non dedicated server and the tethering distance give issues even
when i set it to max with many 9s

So i going try host a dedicated one

[silent matrix]

Ghillimimus

[compact ermine]

But will i get stuck?

Like the large bear trsp

[silent matrix]

On what

[compact ermine]

Trap*

[silent matrix]

Ye u will just let the galli a giga is worth more

Galli is the only thing on land that is faster than a gig

[compact ermine]

So i will just let my gall die??

I mean i will get my galli stuck on bear trap and escape ?

[cunning grail]

Does anybody know if the gamemode conquest is coming back?

[timid pebble]

What are all the ways to make yourself less visible?
Ghillie and Cactus Broth? Or is there more?

Well, Bug Repellant but only for some creatures so not that great

[paper nimbus]

@silent matrix need to make it fall asleep, use slingshot and shoot rocks. Cannot tame if dead

[silent matrix]

Yes sacrifice sacrifice

[timid pebble]

Okay and question number two
What's the best way to get xp ... Without attacking anything?
Normally I'd hunt alphas or just go on a murder spree but not an option this time so uh

[prisma sand]

Crafting. Build chem benches or mortars, fabricators or smithy’s, do a note run. At the end of the note run head back to the your crafting stations that have been pre loaded with materials to craft narcotics and anything else and start crafting while you still have the xp buff from the notes

[timid pebble]

I'm not sure narcotics will help a lot at level 73

[prisma sand]

Do it however you want then. I’m only level 147 what do I know lol

[timid pebble]

Seriously narcotics can carry you that far?

Don't they give like 1xp per craft?

[paper nimbus]

Base building helps.

[timid pebble]

I assume you mean with stuff like greenhouse and metal buildings there, right?

Because stone helped me earlier but nowadays doesn't really cut it

[prisma sand]

Narcotics are just the first step. You’ll ideally have 5+ benches continually crafting them, which will all be used in fabbys to craft darts. Before the darts you’ll have the fabbys all loaded up making rifle ammo while the narcotics cook. All this being done under experience buffs will give you a ton of xp. Gen 2 is the best because it has notes, the velon mission world buff, and a toilet.

[midnight knot]

Everytime I load a tamed Stryder in someone else's tribe, my game freezes. I need a way to prevent the hard freezes, anyone know if there is a fix?

[prisma sand]

It’s how my tribe power levels new members and boss tames

[midnight knot]

My base on gen2 is surrounded on 3 sides with tribes who own at leastthree stryders, two sides with five or more, my game lags so hard I find myself way past where I intended to fly, as my game had frozen while flying over.

I been having this freeze problem for a while, only today did I realize it was the tamed stryders when a new base with about 6+ stryders sprung up.

THE TOILET
I forgot it exists I gotta make one

[prisma sand]

Gen 2 servers a very strained.Pretty much every mega tribe lives there and does the majority of their harvesting there because it’s so easy. If you’re on official this is something you just have to deal with.

[timid pebble]

Not sure if I'll go as far as darts honestly
It's a lot of investment for an item I can't even use in the end
But I guess it's worth it for the xp

[midnight knot]

Wildcard coders need to do something to make rendering easier on game clients.

[blissful estuary]

Can i beat the alpha dragon with reapers

[prisma sand]

I highly recommend finding an unofficial that’s populated and has rates you can live with. They function much better.

[midnight knot]

I am on Officical PvE, I play with a friend since 2016, I go where she goes and with Gen2 my fav map too. Taming and breeding easier for me.... but the server is so strained, code is made, code is corrected. I struggle to play on my fav map.

Naw, tried many unofficial, not my pace.

[prisma sand]

Probably not gonna happen. That’s just personal speculation but at this point I’d they were gonna fix it I think they would have.

[midnight knot]

I'm typing today to point out these issues to Wildcard. NOT looking for work arounds that dont fix the issue. Sorry.

(not looking for suggestions)

[prisma sand]

I didn’t offer a “work around” and you specifically asked if anyone knew any fixes. Lol

[midnight knot]

Playing on another server is not a "fix"

[timid pebble]

On a sidenote, grinder Sap to Cactus Sap conversion is 20 to 1, right? Do I remember that correctly?

[prisma sand]

But anyways I’m sure they’re aware of the server issues that have existed since the map released. Enjoy.

[midnight knot]

Argh I wish there was a channel I could type to wildcard directly

not get the "deal with it" comentary annoys the heck out of me.

[prisma sand]

There’s really not any other options. It’s either deal with it or move to a server without the issue.

[midnight knot]

Feels like negating my desire to point out an issue to Wildcard that needs fixing.

I am trying to point out an issue to wildcard.

[timid pebble]

That's because it's hard not to notice that issue, they're almost surely aware

[midnight knot]

At the chance they might look here.

Offering work arounds or deal with it negates the intent I have to point out issues.

[timid pebble]

So what you expect is everyone to ignore you and hope that someone from Wildcard gets here at the exact moment you're ranting about it

[midnight knot]

Not mega bases that make my game client freeze. There's this one base just a bunchg of dino gate walls with over 6 stryders I hard freeze.

[prisma sand]

They have ticket and server outage channels here you can try. If you don’t want public answers they’ll be better sources than the public channels.

[midnight knot]

Exactly.

[timid pebble]

^ that
Isn't there the whole thing about submitting tickets or whatever?

[midnight knot]

Ticket forms are trauma reminders.

[outer widget]

[timid pebble]

Well then you're out of luck

[midnight knot]

No, I can type something here.

Y'all are a type who gotta know a fix to everything, I dont get along well with those personality types, sorry bout that.

[timid pebble]

You can
And people can comment on it
Respond, even
But best I can do is wish you that someone from wildcard genuinely sees this

[midnight knot]

Indeed. All of that. Thank you Karol.

I adore your leafeon icon, super cute!

[prisma sand]

You don’t get along well with people who try to help? Nice lol

[timid pebble]

Thanks lol

[prisma sand]

I bet you’re the type of people who talks down to the waitress

[midnight knot]

Now you are twising my words, I'm done.

[primal flare]

Just my luck :(

[midnight knot]

I am one of the most passive people I know who is not in for competition or any kind of supremacy issue, I do not appreciate the false accusatiopns and word twists that try to make me look like the jerk, I been thoght this so many bloody times, And I still get annoyed and defensive about false claims against me, I have left communities I loved because someone got mad at me for not taking their advide I never asked for. If you are a good kind of helper, you would accept when people dont take your advice, not make them feel like a jerk when they dont want your type of"Help"

[primal flare]

Got demolished by an alpha leed

[midnight knot]

I have fired caregivers who couldnt let go of trying to fix problems that they could not fix. I am super angry now because I hate being accused of lies that arent true. (waitress comment trauma reminder of having to walk out being abused at a resteraunt, I dont do that supremacy garbage, I will cower or get defensive, and I have walked out when they pulled that false accusation garbage on me).
I can appreciate your desire to help, but when you turn your help against me, I get really defensive. If you wish to help, dont pull out insults when your help doesnt work for me.

[prisma sand]

Happens to the best of us. Gotta hug the shoreline in wood raft. Motorboat outruns them.

[marsh wadi]

is there mod that makes everything lighter

[timid pebble]

Some stack mods do that yeah

[primal flare]

pain, motorboats are so expensive

[marsh wadi]

alr

[midnight knot]

Rag doesnt have any leeds. I remeber the days before leeds, I loved making house boats.

Gen2 has motorboats in drops.

[marsh wadi]

but they dont do it for every item in the game

[long flicker]

I suggest using ini instead, it's in better in general

[placid sundial]

Or boost your weight

[timid pebble]

Not every item but basically all resources, ammo and consumables from my experience

[midnight knot]

I ruminate when I am treated like garbage as I try to figure out what went wrong, so I am straining not to sit here and think about that false accusation, really got on my nerves.

[timid pebble]

At least the one I'm using does that

[long flicker]

that's how most of them work, yeah

[timid pebble]

Fair point but I am a lazy person

[echo cipher]

my weight is boosted (obscenely so. you've seen my stats) and i have a stack mod and i still can't tolerate weight

[placid sundial]

Stack mods also tend to cause a host of issues (particularly compatibility wise) so INI is overall better

[long flicker]

it's almost the same amount of work as downloading a stack mod

[echo cipher]

so frustrating

[timid pebble]

I have not seen your stats

[placid sundial]

One line in the INI will cover 99% of things

[midnight knot]

I had an INI that was so wonderful, then major Ark update and I lost everything, my backup of my ini was not backed up for a while. I was a sad bird.

[echo cipher]

can you use ini to edit the weight of everything? or are you talking about boosting stats

[marsh wadi]

what is that?

[timid pebble]

Huh
I should probably try it someday then
Not on this server though since it'd cause chaos but on sp probably

[primal flare]

pain i need so much obsidian, yet it's either in caves or mountains both of which are extremely deadly

[timid pebble]

Btw bobster do you happen to know any particular crafts that would give me a decent amount of xp and also not be completely useless for a pacifist run?

[long flicker]

rafts is all I know

[marsh wadi]

what is ini

[echo cipher]

internal settings of the game, accessed by finding .txt files. they can do powerful and "secret" (not visibly disclosed) things if you know how to edit them

[timid pebble]

How much does a raft give?
I'll check that in a sec

[long flicker]

mainly used for editing rates/enabling certain features

[long flicker]

also you might want to boost crafting xp

[placid sundial]

Boost weight stat (because if you're stacking items to 10,000... Weight has already been invalidated as a mechanic, so what does it matter), and then one INI line. Only things it doesn't stack by default is things that don't normally stack at all (prime, honey- for balance but which you may want to stack yourself- And weapons, cryopods, fertiliser, all of which cause issues when stacked)

im going to give you the long explanation cryo lol

[timid pebble]

Oh hell yeah rafts are amazing

[echo cipher]

lol

[long flicker]

oh that's cryo
I just realised

[placid sundial]

In this context, game config

[midnight knot]

Weight is a mechanic when you are slowed to a halt if you have too much items on you.

[timid pebble]

Eh I'm not gonna go bother my admin for that
It's balanced as is just I'm inexperienced with levelling by crafting

And yeah rafts work perfectly just gotta stock up on resources and get some notes on me

[long flicker]

levelling with crafting becomes obsolete after like 25-30 levels, so it won't really work for a pacifist run

[timid pebble]

Level 73 by literally just crafting and harvesting resources here

[marsh wadi]

can you boost weight without getting engrams?

[timid pebble]

It works just ... Really really slow

[long flicker]

wdym?

[echo cipher]

alr, makes sense. like i said i do use very very boosted stats i just also need the stack mod and i'm like encumbered every day anyway

[echo cipher]

i should be more active here again

[marsh wadi]

boost weight levels without getting the engrams for those levels

[compact ermine]

@silent matrix i tamed the Giga

[long flicker]

nah
focus on gen 2 🔫
i want to see you breeding manes

[midnight knot]

Pacifist leveling.... I stood inside my yard on Mobile and went up two levels, until my battery ran out last night lol

[compact ermine]

Thanks for your help

[placid sundial]

Why do you 'need' the stack mod? Aside from the fact that you can't really remove it

[silent matrix]

Les goooo

[echo cipher]

getting there- crafted a skiff recently and alpha missions are getting done

[long flicker]

I think you don't understand what boosting means
I just mean increasing the value, not adding levels into it

[midnight knot]

Oh the amount of time I spend to store items to remove encumberment! One of many reasons I love Gen2.

[long flicker]

alright,
how long do you think it'll take?

[marsh wadi]

ow alr, how if you dont mind me asking?

[long flicker]

I still don't get what you're asking

[compact ermine]

My hands were indeed sweaty

But it was worth it

[silent matrix]

That is natural

[echo cipher]

convenience mostly- well, need is a poor choice of words. all things considered it really just prevents my ini from becoming super cluttered while doing most of the same stuff. plus it includes stackable honey

[silent matrix]

And it will probably kill u with rage but well done

U know what rage is?

[long flicker]

stackable honey is 1 line of ini
boosted weight and stack sizes are both another 2 lines of ini
really not much to "clutter" with

[echo cipher]

i used to think that i'd be done with gen1 in like 5-6 months and now i'm thinking 2-3 months. so still a while lol

[marsh wadi]

how do you increase the value?

[placid sundial]

You can stack honey with INI, and almost everything else with one line

[placid sundial]

Weight is actually in the file by default and given cryo alr has boosted stats, it's still alr there

[long flicker]

ahh
I don't actually boost stats, so I don't know the exact place to boost it
@placid sundial could you tell

[long flicker]

ah right,
so only 2 lines of ini in total

[placid sundial]

There's an option on the menu

[long flicker]

aren't there like 3 options in the menu that all look similar

[marsh wadi]

what menu

[long flicker]

when you click on "host/local" there's options on the left side

that menu

[echo cipher]

what's the line? is it that thing that makes all stack sizes larger

[marsh wadi]

ow ok

[placid sundial]

Pins in #bobs-with-probs lol

[echo cipher]

there are player stat boosts, tame stat boost, affinity, etc. but player stat boost is pretty obvious

[crimson terrace]

Can u paint griffins?

Cos i have no idea how people get them mono-coloured

[long flicker]

either mods or event colours I'd imagine

[midnight knot]

I got a full green event colored griffin. Not painted.

[echo cipher]

yea okay i probably could have done this on my own, but i can't now anyway

[long flicker]

why not?

[silent matrix]

Do u know what rage is

[long flicker]

join the superior chad ini
we have cool colours and cool spawns

[echo cipher]

on official? not with paint- cryopods would get rid of that fast

[long flicker]

plus paint looks awful

natural colours look way better

still waiting for them to make griffins breedable
