i just like running around and taming stuff

[timid pebble]

Anyone has experience with S+ tranq turrets?

[unkempt raptor]

[trail summit]

will my megatherium go crazy after eating trilobites? I'm not sure if they count as bugs

[unkempt raptor]

this shits more stressful than when my 150 rex fell asleep next to a giga

(when i was taming it)

[unkempt raptor]

I GOT HER

[timid pebble]

Woohoo

Dog obtained

[fluid brook]

[timid pebble]

Oh god Microraptors

[trail summit]

[junior mirage]

oof might be the fifth crash when trying to do purple OSD

[next oracle]

I've done all missions on gamma and have 6 mutagel but i still cant summon Rockwell prime, any reason why?

[ocean tiger]

Is it possible to make dinosaurs spawn less? like holly shi there are like 5 parasaurs and 4 brontos right at my door and i cant hear anything and my screen is shaking

i dont have hostile tames to kill them either btw

[frail turret]

Why can't I unload a creature into transfer?

[celest pond]

@silent matrix @viral shore @peak finch Hello friends can you guys fix server 664 on official pvp steam players have been unable to connect for over 2 days now

[upper scaffold]

it is

[frail turret]

Why can't I load a creature into transfer ark, tell pls

[silent matrix]

I'm on a server right

I've got 7 Tek wyverns
2 Tek rexes
2 Phoenix
2 unicorns
2 gigas
And many more that idk the name of

[junior mirage]

it appears OSD dont like to have Tek forcefields and even worse the remaining corrupted creatures from the wave cause the game to crash again xD

[gentle venture]

are there any free server hosting sites on pc that work

[next oracle]

Aww man, just finished Gen 2. And I've now finished ARK and damn it feels good

[junior mirage]

how did you go with the transition Extinction Genesis

[drowsy cliff]

Ark sucks

[worldly ermine]

yo guys how can i start a non dedicated server without having to download other apps and stuff i jus wanna play ragnorok w my friend

im on epic games btw

[next oracle]

Sorry, what do you mean?

[trail summit]

beelzebufos are insane

[warm oyster]

anyone wanna play im trying to understand the game a little more im not experienced but i know the basics

[visual quarry]

why here then lol nice try

[junior mirage]

you said you played through Ark so i guess you played all of the maps. But how did you handle the transition from Extinction to Genesis? Did you use your Character or did you make a new

[next oracle]

Ohh, I used the same character on each map. Which helped loads as I was trying to complete each map within 25 days and did it successfully on all but The Island and Gen 2

[junior mirage]

i see. Ima bit unsure if it makes canonical sense to do so but idk

[next oracle]

Well if you want the implant to show your ascensions from other maps then you have to

[junior mirage]

hmmmm

if its gonna crash again ima give up on it for now

[iron spire]

After i take 2 hours finding and taming a new pteradon i find my old one behind a rock

Atleast the new one is 140 and old was 60

[paper tinsel]

Are there any play as dino mod servers that are still alive?

[magic trench]

whats the food drain rate for arkpocalypse?

[trail summit]

what dino should I take into the redwoods with me?

[severe stag]

Avoid them

[warped knoll]

Is anyone recruiting for small tribes? I’m already level 100

[silent matrix]

Why all the others servers are so bored..

[mossy wigeon]

Can ele shards power the mek? And the big one not the small exo one

[warped knoll]

Penguin are you recruiting I’ve got 1,261 hours in the game

[vocal night]

Stego

[trail summit]

damn I didn't expect that, thanks!

[regal yarrow]

If you use an apex predator you will usually be okay

Thylas are good

So are most fliers if you stay up high

[mossy wigeon]

No I’m not sorry

[warped knoll]

What??

[subtle field]

my rex is up to 700 a bite now

[subtle field]

rexes or gigas

[trail summit]

jesus

[subtle field]

allways look for microraptors too

they will knock yoiu off

and then leave you stunned for 10 seconds

[trail summit]

I was only going in for a thyla, I might as well just settle for a rex or a spino

[clear creek]

What’s a good melee to find on gigas on a 180 max server

[iron spire]

Can i still use fertilized eggs for kibble making?

[outer widget]

ye

[subtle field]

just missing deinon saddle BPs
have everything else set for the valg bosses on beta (daeodon, yuty, kibble, 14 superbred deinons (400 melee, 3.5k HP), ammo, tributes, consumables) but only missing those god damn saddle bps
feen looking for hours and only found a prebuilt ramshakle and a prim bp with 32 armour

[iron spire]

Thanks

[subtle field]

yes, if you have a few wyverns, breed them and use their eggs for extraordinary

[iron spire]

Im on island

I have a moschops sex box and they are making fertilized eggs some times

[subtle field]

ah

yutys work well too
\

get a male and a few females, and an oviraptor

their eggs can be used for extraordinary kibble

[regal yarrow]

Ooor, just use maewing

Easy tame, and gives all types of eggs

[subtle field]

but only on gen 2 and lost island

[eternal elk]

I bring five argentavis

but that is for the island, it depends on your map

[trail summit]

I'm on the island too

I only have one argy though 😭

[humble reef]

For those people who enjoy raiding on Ark, I have insider info on an alpha tribe that’s very weak. Reply if interested in the job

[iron spire]

Just made my first ever kible🎉

[muted eagle]

I died and my clone fed the muscles from my original self to the Dilophosaurus that my original self had just knocked out before dying.

[heavy dock]

Tell me more??

@humble reef

[humble reef]

If you are interested, I have very valuable info, currently my inside man said the tribe is in the process of moving their base. Can I write you down as a potential candidate?

[heavy dock]

Yes please I’ll look into that tribe to see if I can do anything I’m pretty big myself

[humble reef]

For confidentiality reasons may I message you privately.

[iron spire]

I love how serious this is

[woven moth]

hm

[humble reef]

The more help I can get for the raid the better. I have a personal vendetta, if you will

[woven moth]

yo anyone know the easiest spot on the island to tame a megatherium

[iron spire]

Im so proud tracy the trike and anky the ankylosaurus just killed a level 46 spino🥹

[woven moth]

that's pog

i started playing single player and i've tamed 3 dinosaurs lmao
a pteranadon a parasaur and a bronto in that order

[iron spire]

Bronto??

Damn

[woven moth]

brontosaurus big longneck thing

it was like level 30

i didn't look at it's level before i tamed it

[hollow pollen]

Hey yall. Trying to get my private server working again after the update today with mods. Is krakans Better dinos and S+ not working for anyone else?

[woven moth]

i just needed something to kill chalicotheriums with

[woven moth]

seriously though if anyone knows the answer to this would be greatly appreciated i need to know

[iron spire]

Yeah ik what a bronto is lol

But thats like a really big jump

[woven moth]

i mean i was on a cliff it was like in a really good spot

[iron spire]

Bronto atleast seems like a super hard tame

[eternal elk]

You can find the most in the snow area
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_Map_(The_Island)

[woven moth]

yeah i know i wanted to know the least likely place to get them killed

snow or redwoods because both are pretty awful

[iron spire]

Is it just me or after first 2 eggs the moschops stop laying them

[eternal elk]

Almost all wild creatures won't attack them

[woven moth]

oh really?

now which place am i less likely to get a pteranadon killed

because i don't take pteranadons to the snow biome normally

eh nvm i can tame another one if i need to

[eternal elk]

I would get an argentavis to tame them. What I did is make a 3x3 trap with stone door frame walls 2 high and stairs leading up one side

[woven moth]

for the argy or ?

like that trap sounds weird to me

meh i need an argy anyways ig i'll do that first

[eternal elk]

Trap for megatherium. You don't need such a large trap but I used it because it works for yutyrannuses also

[woven moth]

honestly

i was gonna go with the standard dino gate trap

because i got the gates in drops

and it literally costed 0 resources

i'll use this for the argy though

[iron spire]

Im planning on taming an argy then using him to carry and safely tame a doedi so i can finally make a stone base😫

[eternal elk]

For an argy trap I would use the one by captain fatdog on youtube

[woven moth]

i already have the old one made

and it's way easier to set up

[iron spire]

In doing the 4 stone gate one

[woven moth]

same

but i'm using 3

you don't need 4

[eternal elk]

If you don't mind using the resources that's good too

[woven moth]

i didn't use resources i just said i found them in drops

[eternal elk]

I'm talking to geo and in general

[iron spire]

What is the red icon thingy under my trikes status bar

[uneven heart]

people why do creatures become adults before asking for affection

[tough yarrow]

Your mature speed is too fast for the imprint speed.

[tough yarrow]

A charge bar, hold left trigger and the trike will "wind up" and charge the meter.

[uneven heart]

A

[tough yarrow]

?

[iron spire]

Bro how do i get my rich metal rocks to start respawning

Last time i went on a metal run was probably about 5 realtime hours of gameplay ago

[regal yarrow]

Afk in the area for like 15 min?

[rigid wharf]

What does imprint do

[outer widget]

makes kittens love you

[iron spire]

Ive never tried waiting in the area, thank you

Im playing sp to learn the ropes rn

[prime hornet]

boosts damage dealt and reduces damage taken for the one who imprinted on the creature when that person is riding it

100% imprint = +30% damage dealt and -30% damage taken

[rigid wharf]

Ty I’m new🫠

[waxen igloo]

i moved to the tundra and after a week of searching find a SINGLE ovis and i then realise that you need sweet whatever cakes and now im sad

[wispy frigate]

That, and also a 20% boost to all stats except stam and oxygen @rigid wharf
Making a full imprinted and ridden dino essentially 2.5x stronger

[rigid wharf]

[regal yarrow]

Uh, not quite 2.5 lol

[slate widget]

20% boost is 1.2x stronger

[unique shell]

It's already the sugunada you see what happens to us that because of rollback they don't remove the titan from the desert that we had 7 hours tame

[marble marsh]

Letss gooooo

[long flicker]

1.2x health, 1.2x melee, 30% damage resistance, 30% more damage
multiply those together and you get around 2.6x

@slate widget too

[regal yarrow]

Why would you multiply those together, it makes no sense to

They are completely different

[long flicker]

how much damage it does in its lifetime, for a method of seeing strength

basically means an imprinted dino will do 2.6x as much damage in its lifetime compared to a regular one

[regal yarrow]

Lol, no

[long flicker]

wdym "lol no"

[wet saffron]

what is the command that allow u to clear a status effect?

[long flicker]

clearmybuffs

[regal yarrow]

An imprinted Dino is closer to 1.5x stronger than an un imprinted one

[wet saffron]

i cannot find it ;-;

i wanna clear my Wyvern's bone break

[long flicker]

it's a command, you type it, you don't find it

[regal yarrow]

If you took a wild tamed Dino with 1.5 stats of the imprinted one they would be equal

[wet saffron]

ok so it only clear benefit effects ;-;

[long flicker]

1.2x melee, 1.2x health = 1.44x damage in lifetime
Then, 30% resistance due to being ridden, making effective health 1.4x, and 30% extra damage from being ridden, meaning 1.3x damage
1.44x1.4x1.3=2.6x effective damage in its lifetime

[long flicker]

it clears all effects

[regal yarrow]

If you took a wild Dino that is 2.5x stats as your imprinted one, you get wrecked

[long flicker]

I specified that I don't mean 2.5x stats

[wet saffron]

ok

[regal yarrow]

By saying it is 2.5x stronger, that's what stronger is

[long flicker]

^

[regal yarrow]

Once again, a Dino with 1.5x stats will do the same damage roughly

[long flicker]

I just showed the calculation right here, it's not rocket science

2.6x damage in its lifetime doesn't mean it'll be able to fight a creature with 2.6x its stats

I specified from the start that that's what we meant when we said "strength"

[regal yarrow]

Why are you multiplying health numbers to melee numbers. That makes 0 sense

[long flicker]

the amount of damage that it will do before it dies

[long flicker]

see health as in "it takes x times longer to die"
meaning it can dish out x times damage before it dies

[regal yarrow]

Uh, there is no multiplication relation between a Dinos health and its melee, at most it is additive

[long flicker]

bruh

I'm not multiplying the stat, I'm multiplying their multipliers

[long flicker]

for this

[regal yarrow]

Multiplying multipliers is the same as saying the Stat is 1

It makes no sense to multiply a health multiplier to a melee multiplier

[long flicker]

if a dino has 1.5x the health, it can do 1.5x as much damage
if it also has 1.5x the damage, then it can do 1.5x1.5 = 2.25 times the damage before it dies
because it stays alive 1.5x longer and it does 1.5x as much damage in the time that it's alive
Geddit?

[regal yarrow]

If you use a 1.5x Stat Dino, you get that same result

[long flicker]

I really don't get what you're trying to say,

[regal yarrow]

Test it out

[marble marsh]

:HuHh:

[long flicker]

1.5x the stats is 2.25 the strength, so, yes, almost the same as an imprinted dino

[regal yarrow]

Imprinted Dinos are not 2.5x, they are at most 1.5x with some extra speed

[long flicker]

bruh

[marble marsh]

Wait wait

[long flicker]

I specified from the start what I mean when I say "strength", how hard is it to understand

[long flicker]

do you get this or not

[marble marsh]

Your pfp is very intimidating

[long flicker]

it stares into your soul to learn of your sins

[regal yarrow]

I get the idea, multiplying health and melee multipliers isn't how it works

[long flicker]

and why not

adding the multipliers would be wrong mathematically

[marble marsh]

Feels good 😛

[long flicker]

ಠ_ಠ

[marble marsh]

•__~•

[long flicker]

it stays alive for 1.5 times the time, and it has 1.5 times damage
so, it does 1.5 times more damage in 1 times the time
so, using unitary method, it will do 1.5x1.5 times as much damage in 1.5 times the time

geddit it now?

[marble marsh]

Ever wanted to feed straight crack to your raptor?

[long flicker]

not particularly, no

[marble marsh]

Sorry that slipped out

[long flicker]

*time is the health modifier in this case

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Imprinting has a line on it too

A fully imprinted dinosaur ridden by whomever imprinted on it is capable of taking on enemies more than twice as powerful as it would've been unimprinted.
All of its bonuses are multiplicative.
20% increased health means 20% more time to dish out damage.
20% increased damage.
30% reduced incoming damage means only 70% of the incoming damage is taken, resulting in 1 / 0.7 = 1.43x the normal time you need to kill the creature, meaning 43% more time to dish out damage.
30% increased outbound damage.
1.2 X 1.2 X 1.43 X 1.3 = 2.67 times as much damage dished out before dying (calculated with not rounded numbers).
Because the additive taming bonus is not multiplied by the 20% stat increase, these numbers will often be off by a little bit, but not typically by much.

additive taming bonus is around 7% for melee, and nearly non existent for health, so not enough to make too much of a difference in most cases

but this is more so for a general case

of course shit like gigas will be an exception

in this case referring to strength as damage dealt before dying

[regal yarrow]

Oohh, gotcha, we were talking different points. I was talking how it would compare to a higher level Dino, in which case the imprint is basically 1.56x the stats, you were talking comparing it to the same Dino, un imprinted.

[long flicker]

ahhh I see what you meant

I hate it when arguments happen because word hard

[regal yarrow]

Totally different numbers lol

So imprint makes it seem like it is 1.56 the level, and it's max damage is about the 2.5ish

That's why it didn't make sense to me to multiply the melee and health jaja

We were using two different calculations

[long flicker]

actually closer to 1.6x the level I think, since √2.6

but 1.5x is better in practical cases anyway, it's not like you want your imprinted dino to die when fighting something, even if it does kill it

[marble marsh]

•__•

No way mans using square root logo

I’m tripping balls

[long flicker]

2² B)

alt codes are handy

[regal yarrow]

It's 1.56 which is closer to 1.6 jaja

[long flicker]

is my calculator lying to me ಠ_ಠ

[regal yarrow]

You don't take the square root of anything lol

[shut kiln]

NA-PVE-Official-GenTwo964 has 57% uptime for last 7 days and is currently down for more than 5h. when it falls below 50% uptime can it finally get on the list of "servers with issues"? 🐼 💀

[tardy panther]

Anyone know why metal nodes aren’t spawning back for me?

[dusk nest]

Did you place structures around them?

[tardy panther]

nope

They’re near my base but I’ve placed nothing there

[turbid leaf]

The no resources radius is bigger than just the structure itself.

Are you on single player?

[tardy panther]

yup

That has something to do with it doesn’t it

The metal nodes aren’t in render distance from my base if that helps

No way near render distance

[turbid leaf]

There's a bug on single player that resources respawn... Inconsistently.

[turbid leaf]

That's good.

[tardy panther]

The trees and rocks right next to my base spawn consistently, so I don’t know why these metal nodes aren’t

[turbid leaf]

I fixed it by turning down the respawn time, but that bug affected everything, not just metal.

How long did you wait?

[tardy panther]

Like two weeks

I haven’t needed metal till now

But the last time I had to go further than normal because metal wasn’t in my usual place

And it hasn’t been since I got it for the first time

I’ve just turned the setting down too to hopefully boost the spawns

And I’ve changed to non dedicated because why not

[turbid leaf]

Hopefully that will work.

[turbid leaf]

That will make no difference but okay.

[tardy panther]

Done it anyways, think I saw something a couple months ago about someone with the same issue and they switched to non dedicated and it fixed somehow

Though it’s probably the location the metal is at tbh

Because I’ve just realised another area closer to my base with a couple of nodes do spawn back

[near bolt]

i need mutations

im tired of getting weight mutations

[static fjord]

you got what you wished for, they just werent melee mutations.

[near bolt]

id need 380 melee to deal 8k damage

[glass goblet]

do i actually need a desert titan to take out the gamma king titan? i cant find a quetz so idk how im supposed to tame it

[outer widget]

you dont need it, but it is fun

[glass goblet]

i want to tame it, i just cant find a quetz

i mean i havent been looking for it the whole time ive been on extinction but the whole time i havent seen one, ive been searching a couple hours and nothing

[near bolt]

use an argy

[glass goblet]

wont i just get dismounted tho 💀

[near bolt]

use a tek suit

[glass goblet]

hmm

i mean i can always just summon it and try that, if it doesnt work im solo so its not going anywhere lol

[near bolt]

i think once i reach 95 melee ill be able to take on the ice titan

[near bolt]

titans are very buggy, they decide to despawn randomly sometimes

[glass goblet]

well its either take my chances with that and an argy, or spend god knows how many more hours finding a quetz

[near bolt]

its pretty easy to find one

Use a snow owl, freeze it mid air and trap it with dino gates

[frosty lake]

Use an owl to tame the desert titan. You dont need to tame it to defeat king titan

[paper tinsel]

Are there any play as dino mod servers that are still alive?

[glass goblet]

yea i saw that technique to tame it but i cant find one tho

[near bolt]

aight 20 mutations done

[glass goblet]

on which creature?

[near bolt]

jiga

[glass goblet]

to tame it?

[tardy panther]

What’s some creatures people would wanna see added?

[near bolt]

your mother

[glass goblet]

lmao

[tardy panther]

Well we’ve got whales so she’s here

[near bolt]

giga

[near bolt]

😳

[tough yarrow]

[near bolt]

495% melee holy

[glass goblet]

sheesh

[lilac halo]

Use a snow owl

[glass goblet]

goddamn

[glass goblet]

see i have a 235 snow owl but it has shit health, so its either go get another one and breed them then raise one then level it, OR just search for a quetz

[prisma sand]

Katana

[glass goblet]

but then again im not having much luck finding a quetz, bad luck either way ig

[near bolt]

still no where near what i want the melee to be

[lilac halo]

Google

[near bolt]

20/85

[prisma sand]

I said katana

[lilac halo]

I could tell

[lilac halo]

You can probably giga Rush King titan

[near bolt]

you need good gigas for that

[glass goblet]

well i do have alpha forest titan and the ice titan, plus 209 giga breeding pair, i could just breed a shit ton of gigas ig

[near bolt]

you need good melee gigas

oh and also the desert titan isnt a must for the fight

[lilac halo]

Mutation bred gigas recomended

[near bolt]

Yes like my insane gigas that are going to continue to get more insane

[atomic axle]

Are the transfer closed in small tribes

[glass goblet]

well theyre base 180%, imprinted 232% but when leveled like 320%

[lilac halo]

No but some server groups can be a little bit weird with it

[glass goblet]

im only doing gamma tho

[near bolt]

my base before mutating was 295%

get a giga with atleast 50 melee points you cant do shit to KT if you dont

[glass goblet]

50 base?

[near bolt]

yes

oh

[glass goblet]

idk how many 180% is

[near bolt]

180 is

33 points

[glass goblet]

it took me literally 6 hours to find a 140 giga, i cant just keep on searching for more and more

[near bolt]

you need to look for a giga with atleast 250%

or you need to be ready to spend weeks mutating gigas

[glass goblet]

i mean at the rate of searching for 6 hours to find a max giga it could take me weeks to get one with 50+ base melee points

[near bolt]

and its worth it rather than breeding for weeks to come to 50 melee points base

[glass goblet]

but i mean cant i just breed like twice as many gigas anyway?

like if theres no limit, and they get 1 hit regardless

[near bolt]

yeah so it'd be better for them to do more damage

[glass goblet]

i mean ultimately that would be a better option but my point is if im gonna spend weeks searching and/or mutating isnt it a quicker option to just spam breed and raise

[near bolt]

they'd be able to survive 2 hits if you imprint them since health crosses 34k

[glass goblet]

rly? i saw syntac vid and his got one hit

[near bolt]

your army would get obliterated

[glass goblet]

well yes

[near bolt]

they mustve taken 2

[glass goblet]

but they will regardless

[near bolt]

KT does like 25k dmg so they'd be able to take 2 hits

And sometimes KT just stands there barely doing any damage

[long flicker]

15k I think

[glass goblet]

then they could take 3 hits

[long flicker]

they'll insta rage tho, so they'll just start eating each other apart

[near bolt]

Go with gigas atleast 500%+ melee prim saddles, ice titan and forest titan ( desert titan isnt really needed ) and a good mek

[long flicker]

or do enraged gigas damage other gigas, I can't remember

[near bolt]

my point is, its better to bring high melee gigas for the fight

[long flicker]

when do you ever level anything that's not melee on a giga

[near bolt]

i have an argy with pretty insane weight

[glass goblet]

ik but i have work so i cant spend all day every day taming, breeding, mutating etc

[near bolt]

you can boost your stats, it'd save you a lot of breeding

[glass goblet]

i already have and it still takes ages 💀 plus then i feel guilty if i boost it too much lol

[near bolt]

it is what it is

[cosmic tangle]

I made my imprinting on only one imprint for Dino’s so I can mass breed cus I’m on singleplayer

[near bolt]

from now its basically getting 130 mutations instead of 60 since the chances are halved

[long flicker]

ew boosted

[glass goblet]

bruh im watching this dude solo kt with a mek 👁️👄👁️

[cosmic tangle]

Imagine not boosting your stats

[near bolt]

its a suggestion you dingus

[long flicker]

imagine boosting your stats

[near bolt]

imagine boosting

[cosmic tangle]

Imagine having no life

[karmic ivy]

Imagine caring whether people are boosting stats or not

[long flicker]

I must reply with "ew" to every comment mentioning boosted stats
it's the law

[glass goblet]

when you have work you dont rly have an option 💀

[glass goblet]

lmao tru tho

[near bolt]

understandable boost your stats

[cosmic tangle]

When you have a life you don’t really have an option 💀

[long flicker]

it's not like everyone not boosting their stats have 5 years of free time a day to play

[tardy panther]

Nothing wrong with boosting

Your ark, your rules

You choose what’s right and wrong

[cosmic tangle]

Exactly

[glass goblet]

^

[long flicker]

eh, not applicable a lot of the times

[karmic ivy]

Based

[tardy panther]

In single player it’s always applicable

[long flicker]

a lot of new players could boost their stats because they're scared of dinos, ruin the experience for themselves then call ark boring or a shit game

but that aside, I was joking so chill

[glass goblet]

wait cant you have kt aggro on a titan then have gigas behind to deal damage? or does his attacks go all the way round

[karmic ivy]

I boost stats because I do not want to wait next to an unconscious dino longer dan 30 minutes

[tardy panther]

yeah I’m aware you were joking lol don’t worry

was playing along

[glass goblet]

see thats a solid point

[tardy panther]

That is a good point but then that’s their problem

[long flicker]

hence why I recommend against boosting for most players

boosting stats, mind you, not rates

I encourage boosting rates, because goddamn the default rates are grindy

2.5x taming is where it's at

[karmic ivy]

Oh I thought you meant rates
I feel so stupid now >_>

[tardy panther]

I’ve been playing for 6 years now so screw playing single player with official settings when I could do 2.5x for everything else and have fun

[long flicker]

I started a UA a little while ago but ended up restarting because 2x xp feels too fast

[tardy panther]

That’s what we’re on about don’t worry

[glass goblet]

ok boosting stats thats a bit silly, rates fine but stats 🤮

[long flicker]

nah easy mistake to make, I forgot to specify

[long flicker]

I'll change it to 2x once I beat the 3 bosses on the island

[tardy panther]

well I’ve boosted both a tiny bit

[long flicker]

also used to have stackable prime but I'm removing that since it's pretty OP for early game

[tardy panther]

My health and melee for creatures is maybe 1.5x official

[cosmic tangle]

My xp is 2x only for my Dino’s

[long flicker]

I'll get that again once I get a good rex, since that's the point when prime being unstackable is the most annoying

when you're meatrunning and get slotcapped with 250 prime meat that you'll never use before it spoils

[cosmic tangle]

I just drop it

[prisma sand]

1.5x or 1.5x official values?

[karmic ivy]

I just give it to whatever carnivore tame is closest

[tardy panther]

1.5x official values

[prisma sand]

Pretty sure official melee values are like .2

[tardy panther]

yeah mines like

0.3

Sort of

I’m playing with single player settings on but I’ve reduced it so it’s about 0.3 instead

It might be like 0.1 for me

yeah it’s 0.1

For stats per level at least

For add per level it’s 0.04 for health and 0.07 for melee

[karmic ivy]

I just kept it on whatever settings it was on originally

[glass goblet]

is it worth doing purple osd? i saw someone saying that they dont give much more loot than red so not to waste time

[prisma sand]

Yeah. They give much more loot if you push waves

[glass goblet]

do the waves get harder and harder, or kinda just stay the same difficulty?

[prisma sand]

Pretty sure they continue to get harder

They may level off at a point somewhere higher up

Only if they enrage

They have to take so much damage in a small window of time. The only thing I’ve found to enrage my gigas are other players and the alpha shadowmane mission on gen 2

[karmic ivy]

My gigas never enraged
I never had any gigas but that's besides the point

[glass goblet]

lmfao

[near bolt]

how many times are you gonna mention this

[long flicker]

however many times I need to

because if I don't then I'll end up getting bored and changing it randomly

[cosmic tangle]

Just change it when you reach max level

[prisma sand]

I don’t think you can change character level cap.

Aside from doing the ascensions and collecting the notes that is.

Plus 5 for a leveled chibi

[cosmic tangle]

The max level is 180

[prisma sand]

You could use commands to get credit for the kills without actually doing it. It won’t actually raise your level just the cap.

[long flicker]

you can, using ini

I forgot which ini but there was some ini for it

[glass goblet]

dumb question but is it possible to use both ss and s+ at the same time?

[tough yarrow]

Nope, you'll likely crash.

[prisma sand]

Is there actually difference between the 2?

[tough yarrow]

S+ is the original, ss is another continuation from when the mod dev stopped working on it for a while. There some differences, since it's 2 separate mods now.

[subtle field]

day 3, no good deinon saddle bp

why are they so rare

[near bolt]

my lvl 420 character: allow me to introduce myself

[prisma sand]

Very nice. You should tell @silent matrix how ya did it.

[raw sierra]

I need Nitro

[near bolt]

you want nitro?

[raw sierra]

Yeah

[near bolt]

keep wanting

[silent matrix]

files failed to validate and will be reacquired
how do i fix this

[near bolt]

pick a number between 10 - 20

[silent matrix]

and connectiontimeout

[safe river]

guys

[silent matrix]

11

[safe river]

where the crafting time coldown
on the setting single player

[silent matrix]

idk

[safe river]

i want to make it faster when i craft somthing

[silent matrix]

upgrade crafting skill

[safe river]

why there is craft skilling i can upgread..?

[silent matrix]

yes

[prisma sand]

It should fix itself. A download should start or atleast a prompt

[silent matrix]

i will have to buy it again

[near bolt]

i want to die

purple osd seems a good way to go out

[silent matrix]

Does anyone have a breeding pair of boss abberant spinos I can borrow or trade for? Mine starved to death :(

[severe stag]

You have nobody to blame but yourself

[silent matrix]

Yeah. I thought they would be fine but nope

And I dont have access to anymore

[near bolt]

purple osds arent that bad..

[tardy panther]

Probably best to search on the official ark server, if not go to rag and go to the canyons

oh wait this is the official server nvm I thought this was a different ark server

[karmic ivy]

Bruh

[silent matrix]

Bro lmao

[tardy panther]

Thought it was syntacs server loool

[silent matrix]

Lol

[marble marsh]

You ever laugh so hard your feet start to hurt

[silent matrix]

No

[tardy panther]

n o

[prime hornet]

no

[marble marsh]

Just me?

[tardy panther]

I guess so

Either you’ve laughed a lot harder than what I ever have and I haven’t achieved feet hurting from laughing so much or your just built different

[marble marsh]

I do kick people when I laugh

That’s a pretty big factor

[near bolt]

my giga is getting pretty low

[karmic ivy]

Give him some weed then

[near bolt]

purple drops are manageable with 1 good giga

[marble marsh]

Feed your giga straight crack

[near bolt]

im still on wave 7 i cant say for sure yet

[marble marsh]

It improves everything

[near bolt]

wait how do i stop the waves i finished wave 7

[marble marsh]

Suicide I think

[near bolt]

wait actually?

[karmic ivy]

I mean it works

[near bolt]

aight i ended it in the inventory for some reason it didnt show up

[marble marsh]

Whatever works

[near bolt]

Purple osd 9 waves done in 1 giga

My giga is almost dead tho

[karmic ivy]

Oof

How many waves are there

[halcyon shadow]

I am playing in difficulty 15 and the maximum extra level i can get is still 75, is it the maximum or am i doing something wrong?

[karmic ivy]

Do you have max difficulty on?

[prisma sand]

Change or add the game ini file overrideofficialdifficulty=5 and you will get 150 max level.

[halcyon shadow]

No, i am talking about reaper babies

The others are fine

Just saw a youtube video where the reaper baby can have more than 75 extra level

[prisma sand]

Oooh.

[prisma sand]

The reaper will be born at the level of the queen that impregnated you. Up to 75 levels are added to that based off of how much experience you gain during gestation.

[halcyon shadow]

Aw man, so the limit is 75. I thought i could get a few more levels from a lvl 450. The reaper baby from the video that I watched must be modded

[karmic ivy]

Maybe the youtuber used an exploit or was in an older version?

[halcyon shadow]

Probably

[prisma sand]

If a 450 impregnated you, the baby can go up to 525

[halcyon shadow]

Wait what

[karmic ivy]

75 levela

[halcyon shadow]

How? I keep killing spinos in the river and it wont go higher than 75

[wispy frigate]

450 + 75 = 525

[prisma sand]

It’s not going to go higher than 75. The 75 levels are bonus levels. If you were impregnated by a 450 the babies level is 450+up to 75 extra levels based off of your experience gained during gestation.

[halcyon shadow]

Oh yea, i forgot that 450+75 is 525. God i need some sleep

[iron spire]

What is the max level of a wild dino

[near bolt]

unlimited, the loot caps after wave 14

[karmic ivy]

Oh
So how do you end it other than dying?

[silent matrix]

hello i'm looking for a mod like ultra stacks, but with no ridiculous weight reduction, who can help me ?

[slate widget]

interact with it, I think.

[slate widget]

if you don't want weight reduction just change the stacks with the ini (look in the pins in #unofficial-setup-help)

[karmic ivy]

According to the wiki you only need to do 6-8 waves to end it

[near bolt]

8 waves to end it

( 0-7 )

[karmic ivy]

Then it aren't an infinite amount like you said, right?

[near bolt]

you end it by interacting with it after completing any wave after wave 7

[karmic ivy]

Oh

[near bolt]

you have the option to end it, wont end on its own

[karmic ivy]

Ah ok

[near bolt]

this purple osd made me realize i can do reds with ease

[silent matrix]

ty

[near bolt]

I feared purple until now

its still hard i wont disagree

[worn stream]

Does the deinony method for alpha dragon still work?

And if so what melee dmg would you reccomend

[silent matrix]

Yss

[silent matrix]

Melee damage doesn't matter
Level on health

[near bolt]

health

[prisma sand]

You only need so many waves to end it, but the amount of loot keeps stacking beyond that.

[near bolt]

No point levelling melee because of the bleed, get good saddles and level health

[karmic ivy]

Ah ok

[clever stag]

Hello guys, can anyone tell me why when I try to spawn a tamed reaper on any map it crashes the game?
I use the command "gmsummon "xenomorph_character_bp_male_c" 150
He spawns the dino, but if I get close he crashes me. Can you say why?

[worn stream]

K thanks

[silent matrix]

Same thing happened to me when I tryed to spawn in a reaper queen
Seems like u can only spawn in tamed reapers

[strong mason]

Playstation has issues with summoning a few creatires

[iron spire]

I just did a metal run, am i supposed to stay in the area so the metal rocks can still respawn

Single player world

[rotund portal]

is it possible to raise wyvern without milk?

[safe mist]

On official?

[regal yarrow]

600 melee is optimal

[rotund portal]

yes

[fluid brook]

yea , with a daeodon and a snow owl

[rotund portal]

yeyy ight then

[worn stream]

I got one with base 4k hp and 800 melee

And its got a saddle with 124 armor

[regal yarrow]

That works

The bleed caps at 600% melee, so there isn't much point in going past that, so I would just level the health

[clever stag]

So I just spawned the queen and it didn't crash or anything, it worked fine. I used the command gmsummon "xenomorph_character_bp_female_c" 150

[robust sun]

My Rex as almost 1000 energy but he still get tired too quick

i can't run for more than a few seconds and i must stand still in fight or it drains to fast

[safe mist]

Unofficial?

[robust sun]

singleplayer

[safe mist]

Your Dino stamina drain is too high, I recommend 0.5

[regal yarrow]

Rex stamina isn't great to start with

[safe mist]

It can be if you bred it up

[worn stream]

I did not know that

[safe mist]

It can go higher but only with imprint and mate boost bonuses iirc

[regal yarrow]

You can get Rex stamina to a higher level, but they use Stam so fast when sprinting that it's not really worth it

If you want speed of movement on a large carnivore use a spino

[safe mist]

I’ve never had issues with tek Rex stamina

[iron spire]

What should i be pumping points into at level 80

I have 30 fortitude

[regal yarrow]

Health, stamina, weight

[silent matrix]

Who has a breeding pair of boss abberant spinos I can trade for. Dm me for prices

[vivid maple]

966 has been down 60 hours is there anything that can be done?

[near bolt]

10 gigas should be enough for the ice titan

[silent matrix]

I have like 15 Tek wyverns

And 7 Tek rexes

And 5 gigas

I'm going good in this game now 😃😃😃😃

[tough yarrow]

[high warren]

question, if im on lost island what do i set my engaram thingy to, its on the island but there isnt one for lost island

[verbal leaf]

There no lost island engram thing

[verbal leaf]

^^^

[high warren]

so just the island?

[verbal leaf]

Yes

[high warren]

kk ty

appreciate the help

[verbal leaf]

Np!

[robust sun]

fr im now at 1500 points of energy and my T Rex can run for an impressive 40 seconds before having to stop moving at all!

[regal yarrow]

Welcome to stamina lol. 40 seconds is a long time for a Rex to be running lol

[robust sun]

i should if taken a freakin spino Rex sucks

Even in fight he is too big slow and lack of endurance and i only win bc he is controlled by me and the AI of enemies isn't very smart

[barren grove]

Spinos are just faster rexes are better in every way

[errant hatch]

anyone know if there is a fix for all the bloodstalkers dropping me instead of picking me all the way up

[kind badge]

how long does it take for wildcard to fix an official server usually? It has been down since Friday.

[robust sun]

yeah but in singleplayer with not very high level dinos a spino would have been a lot better

and they can go in water and get a boost in it

[barren grove]

Ok?

Wdym?

[robust sun]

Spino as more than enough to fight other dinos controlled by AI and the fact you can go in water and move faster with more endurance make it more useful for moving around and collecting stuff

I mean maybe in boss fight T Rex would be better but from what i heard both would get destroyed

[regal yarrow]

Rexes are better for bosses, spinos for running around

Rexes for raiding, spinos for defending

It's a toss up, but for pve open world, Spino is almost always better

[robust sun]

Holy i just found a spino rn

he is in water and i don't have any tranq tho bruh

nvm i found some yay

[feral storm]

Spions overspawn in rag Canyon

[robust sun]

I found it litteraly at south 1 on the island wtf

[woven moth]

i tamed a 100 argy and 135 megatherium

however i tamed the megatherium from the redwoods because snow biome wasn't working out

are you on single player?

what dino you tryna summon

well yeah but what dino

and what level

[tardy panther]

gmsummon

[woven moth]

gmsummon or sdf works if you wanna spawn it untamed so you can tame it yourself do sdf

[tardy panther]

gmsummon “[creature]_character_bp_c”[level]

[woven moth]

[creature] unless it's like a wyvern or some shit in which case this entire command becomes slightly longer

can you not just tell us what it is

[tardy panther]

yeah, wyvern_[type]

[woven moth]

because that would make it easier to make sure the command is right

[woven moth]

except ice wyverns because fuck ice wyverns lmao

[tardy panther]

Lool

[woven moth]

like listen easiest one to get the eggs from and hardest one to cheat in

[tardy panther]

ooh no wait

He means is there a way he can basically teleport it to him

[woven moth]

OHHHHHHH

[tardy panther]

Cryopods

If your the right level

[woven moth]

dude what level are you just make a cryopod

[tardy panther]

yeah make cryopods

[woven moth]

yeah you can make a cryopod

[tardy panther]

They’re very cheap

[woven moth]

engram is level 52 if you don't have it unlocked

[robust sun]

For a moving base which is the best between Diplo Bronto or Paraceratherium

[woven moth]

you make them at obelisks/supply drops

[tardy panther]

It’s like 10 Crystal 15 fiber 5 hide (I think) 2 metal 8 poly and something else (oil I think)

[woven moth]

diplos don't have platform saddles

but bronto noah

[sharp dune]

What rates would I need to raise a wyvern without milk?

[woven moth]

diplos are literally just a school bus

[tardy panther]

If you want a the quicker but smaller space creature then use a paraceratherium

[woven moth]

for 30 days you can use them but you do have to charge them in a cryofridge at least once a month

[woven moth]

i just usually say bronto because they have more weight

and if you wanna put anything in the base you know

[tardy panther]

Yup, though you get something called cryo sickness when you throw something out of the cryopod, it lasts for 5 minutes and will knock out anything if you throw out anything when that timer isn’t up

[woven moth]

yeah that and the occasional recharge

are needed to keep in mind

[tardy panther]

For some reason they don’t run out for me lol

[woven moth]

cryosickness isn't that bad on sp of course but still better to wait for the timer

[tardy panther]

yeah

[woven moth]

well if you don't leave ark running all day they usually won't

[tardy panther]

I do, I always have like two on me and they’re always stuck on 29days and 23hours lol

[woven moth]

weird

[tardy panther]

I’m not complaining though

When I chuck them in a cryofridge they just fully charge

[woven moth]

i want them to make like a catapultable version of a cryopod

to put a titanosaur in

[woven moth]

yeah the charge time when they actually run out is literally one hour so that makes sense

well for me it's 1 hour anyways

what is the dino though i'm just kinda curious

ohhh okay lol

yeah cryopods work for that lmao

yes they are in your inventory

like they are basically pokeballs

YES

[tardy panther]

Well there’s oil veins ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[woven moth]

Or

Go to the dire bear cave in the ice biome

Literally thousands of oil worth of rocks

[tardy panther]

I was thinking that

You probably won’t need fur actually

If you just head in for like 2 minutes and out you’ll get plenty

[woven moth]

I’m like the only person who upgrades fortitude instead of movement speed so I wouldn’t know about this

If you don’t have health take some medical brews

[tardy panther]

yeah

[lyric apex]

ps4

[silent matrix]

Who has a breeding pair of boss abberant spinos I can trade for. Dm me for prices

[open olive]

Trilobytes

But I doubt you'll find them, fuckers disappear when you need them

Yeah

[woven moth]

yes but what map are you on

[woven moth]

well then you can also do this

it's better easier and results in more oil

uh one second

29.9 32.4

lol @silent matrix

oopsssssssssss

it's the cave in front of those coords to be clear

[calm notch]

Can i transfer ark from epic to steam without having to buy it on steam?

Becouse i have the battleye client error

[fluid brook]

nah , if you don't have a dino in it you can still use it and don't need to recharge it, but in 30 irl you'll need to recharge it

after 30 days every dino in it dies and can't be getting back, but the cryo can still be recharged

nah , empty

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Cryopod

here's every info you need

[robust sun]

Which is the best wandering base between Para Bronto and Diplo (i ain't sure if there is other dino with plateform that are on land) it's not my main base and i just want it so i can have a shelter with stuff to cook store and craft/repair and it don't really need to be super fast but it need to have endurance and good weight capacity aswell as space.

[timid pebble]

Diplo doesn't have a platform

[robust sun]

oh ok

[silent matrix]

Use quetzal

[slate widget]

the titans

[robust sun]

But is it strong enough to carry a whole base?

[robust sun]

im on The Island

[silent matrix]

But they aren't permanent

[slate widget]

titanosaur :P

[robust sun]

oh ok the titanosaur

[silent matrix]

If it's a good lvl 1 yes

[silent matrix]

Only avaible for 24h

[timid pebble]

On sp it is permanent if you turn on correct settings

[robust sun]

yeah but im in singeplayer i can enable the thing to feed him but he looks annoying to tame and expensive

[slate widget]

true, you can enable raid dino feeding if you want.

[timid pebble]

Also nothing is really strong enough to carry a fully fledged base because platforms have a structure limit

[robust sun]

i just need things like campfire workstation forge maybe

[timid pebble]

Though you can alter that in settings as well I think?

[silent matrix]

U can change struxute limit on single player

[slate widget]

oh yep, absolute pain. I think you can use the mek but thats extinction stuff

[timid pebble]

The mek makes it easy but first you need element to make the mek work and, yeah, extinction engram

[robust sun]

But the good thing is that with a titan i'll litteraly walk over T rex

damn i got scared first time i saw this thing fall from the sky

i wanted to go on his back but i read he was not kind so i got the hell out

[silent matrix]

They are neutral

[robust sun]

oh i got told they were aggresive if you stayed close for too long

[woven moth]

yes you can but you can also make another cryopod

[robust sun]

Anyone know where i can find a non flying tapejara like on the ground

[potent ruin]

I have a problem

I tried to rejoin my save on ragnarok and it made me create a new character and all my progress in the world is gone. Its like I was never even there.

I need to figure out how to fix this

this isnt the first time this has happened

[slate widget]

first, are you sure you joined rag? second did you create a new character?

[potent ruin]

I hadnt created a new character yet and yes im sure I joined rag

[slate widget]

do you see a spawn as existing survivor button?

[potent ruin]

no

[slate widget]

download survivor button?

[potent ruin]

this has happened before

there was a download button but no characters to download

but all my structures are gone

not just what was in my inv

[slate widget]

do you have a backup? if not there isn't much you can do.

[potent ruin]

Shouldn't it auto save?

[slate widget]

it does, but if everything is gone than the save is gone.

[potent ruin]

I just, this has heppened before. but ive made so much progress

[slate widget]

you should try to figure out why its deleting your save. its doesn't usually delete them for no reason.

[potent ruin]

Im not I computer person

I dont know how to figure that out

[slate widget]

common ones would be do you have space on your computer and just check the files to see.

[woven moth]

I mean you can find them anywhere they just aren’t super common

What Dino’s do you have rn

Yes I have several Dino’s you should tame, an ankylo another flier of any kind and a berry harvesting Dino

well fliers just like another pteranodon as back up or argy doesn't matter

an ankylo doubles as a berry harvester and metal harvester

though i'd recommend a stego or a bronto possibly a trike or parasaur

[brazen oracle]

For berries to me personally I prefer mammoths or Iguanadon

[woven moth]

i've never used a mammoth for anything i didn't know if they were any good lol

iguanadon though absolutely

[brazen oracle]

I love them! The mammoths gather so much, they're pretty tanky, and if you travel with "protection" dinos the mammoth can call and boost them.

Dyes, recipes, taming

[woven moth]

well you can make med brews with tinto berries

and those are insane

you can make kibble with berries
and also mejoberries are the best for taming all normal herbivores if you bar kibble

and stim berries can be used for stimulants to wake up dinos with cryosickness slightly faster @silent matrix

though dye is definitely my favorite thing to use them for lmao

[night zinc]

its all up to you, and it depends on the dino. If ur taming a rex and u use like 1000 narcs it will gain torpor for hours, but if you do it one by one its annoying.

I would just use them all at once

because there's no benefit to using them at intervals

well thereu go

[warm glacier]

anybody giving free dinos on small tribes

15 min notice is just not enough time to finish what you are doing or get to the server you need to be on to be "safe". Who remembers when the devs gave us at least an hour notice that the servers were going down.

back then when we had an hour notice, there was no server transfer timers to deal with

that was also less than 15 minute notice

I didnt have time to transfer to safety

[mystic geyser]

Do you think it would be a good idea to set up bases all across the map with beds to be able to teleport around?

[upper scaffold]

what map

[ember grove]

Only in important resource rich locations to save time.

[mystic geyser]

The island

Solo obviously

[upper scaffold]

you shouldn't the map is pretty small

[mystic geyser]

Ok

[ember grove]

Honestly the island is the worst map on official due to it's beauty being eaten by dino gates and pillars.

[upper scaffold]

its one of the best maps for official

ice pvp 😍

[mystic geyser]

I've never tried playing pvp for too long I just get raided all the time and don't have the patience to keep starting over

[ember grove]

If you like hitting a dino gate every time you take a stroll sure

[upper scaffold]

im talking about pvp

[ember grove]

I don't pvp much due to exploiting players.

[upper scaffold]

fair

[ember grove]

I do immerse myself in the beauty of Ark's pve environments

[silent matrix]

how long will this fire wyvern chase me if i steal its egg?

[upper scaffold]

until they dont feel like it anymore

[silent matrix]

ah well thats useful

[upper scaffold]

yup

stryder

bronto

probably

try a stego or a trike

you level melee and you press left click near a bush

[tough kindle]

They'll do an area that's close to them. Weight is nice to have as well on the trikes, especially if you have a lot of bushes near you

[upper scaffold]

well

you have to ride them

[iron spire]

If i tame a dodo and bring it with me to an argy trap can i kill the dodo and use that for the hunger buff

[fervent crown]

Yes

You can drag the dead body and it’ll eat it

[eternal elk]

Do daeodons eat more than other dinosaurs even if healing is disabled?

[weak fiber]

Not in my experience.

[upper scaffold]

dont think so

[iron spire]

I just got scared shitless by a thyla bro wtf

Never flying low again😭

[plush oar]

cool story bro stay safe wear a mask

[cedar marten]

Hi

[steel star]

they are not hard, they just take alot of tranqs and berries

[oak yacht]

Can someone explain to me why the hell cnidaria exist

All they do is bully me whenever i try to go into the water

[errant hatch]

how are the arena missions on gensis one possible on alpha

[fervent crown]

The best tranqs in the game are made from their corpses 2x tranqing ability than tranq darts

[oak yacht]

They are still bullies

[small flume]

Whats the best map that i should buy?

[subtle field]

the free DLCs are the only ones you can purchase separately, but the cannon DLC are bundled in the ultimate survivor bundle (60$) so you cannot buy one paid DLC at a time
as for the free ones, i suggest ragnarok

[violet agate]

can someone help me

[subtle field]

what's the issue?

[violet agate]

well 2 questions how do i join servers with an ip thing and how do i download rag

[subtle field]

ill DM you how, cant send screnshots here

[violet agate]

ok

[safe mist]

On steam click on view then servers then make sure ark is selected as the game then add IP address as favorite, it’ll show up in game under favorites

Rag is in the store under DLC maps,if you gotten it then it will be under DLCs in the game page on your game list, if it shows a check mark then it’s installed

[small flume]

Oh ight then what do u recommend overall? (Can be free)

[subtle field]

gen 2, or rag

[regal yarrow]

If you are trying pvp, you need genesis and lost island

Otherwise I would recommend lost island, it's the new rag

[small flume]

I was going single player

[regal yarrow]

Fjordur is coming out in June, and I would recommend that one even more

[small flume]

Ooh

[silent matrix]

Can wyverns enter boss arenas?

[regal yarrow]

Ahh, well for sp, you could get all the maps, and transfer between them

[regal yarrow]

Only scorched and extinction

[safe mist]

Only manticore

[small flume]

Rly?

[safe mist]

You have to upload your character and items

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, you upload and the obelisk, open the other map and download your character

[iron spire]

Going back to the red woods to catch me an argy😁

[regal yarrow]

You can bring any Dinos or items too, just put them in upload, not your characters inventory

[small flume]

Yeah i remember seeing someone do that but ur base doesnt transfer does it?

[regal yarrow]

Nope

[small flume]

Alr thx for the info

[regal yarrow]

Transfer with a kit, and you can make a new base.

[safe mist]

Honestly just make a character for each map and transfer the items and Dino instead

[small flume]

Yeah thats a good idea

Is there a storage limit for transfering items tho?

[regal yarrow]

Could do that, but then you would need to level multiple characters, and that takes a lot of time

[regal yarrow]

It's like 50 default, but you can make it more

[safe mist]

I do believe so, not sure of the limit

[small flume]

Oh ight

[safe mist]

On single player? Unless you want to take your time to enjoy the grind then yea but it depends on sp settings and how you level

[small flume]

Btw if i wanted to run a modpack like ark omega can i transfer modded gear and items through the obelisk too?

[safe mist]

That I’m unsure of

[regal yarrow]

If you have the same mod on every single player world, then yeah you can

Just don't open a map that doesn't have the mod on

Usually if you are playing super modded you stick to one map to avoid losing items in the transfer

[small flume]

Oh okay i think ill just pick 1 then

What do u recommend?

[regal yarrow]

I have like 27 chars on sp lol, and a ton more on official, but it is a chore lol

For super modded I recommend ragnarok

[safe mist]

Interesting

[small flume]

Well the mod has over 150k new dinos

So i think ill go with ragnarok

[regal yarrow]

It's not a map that I generally recommend, but a lot of mods are made with rag in mind, so you are less likely to run into issues

[small flume]

Yeah ill pick ragnarok tysm guys

[safe mist]

No problem

[regal yarrow]

If you play for a mod, go rag. If you play for map experience, go literally any of the others lol

[silent matrix]

Alr thanks.

[small flume]

Yeah for my normal character i think id pick genesis since it has so much new dinos

[safe mist]

Island works good with most mods as well

[silent matrix]

What free map should I go to for a mantis?

[safe mist]

Rag

[regal yarrow]

Island is really small for big mods though

[silent matrix]

Much appreciated.

[safe mist]

I have 40 mods on island

[regal yarrow]

For a mantis go to lost island I would say, but rag is the same

[regal yarrow]

Little excessive but

[safe mist]

Lol it’s for testing basically

[regal yarrow]

Ah

[safe mist]

Right now we have server machines host the same mods as ark server

We’re going in phases to test the mods and settings

[silent matrix]

What's a good rag transfer spawn?

[safe mist]

Highlands

[regal yarrow]

Highlands is good, so is jungle, so is viking bay

[small flume]

Is extinction any good? I heard it has some of the best boss fights

[safe mist]

Just be careful of Gigas and allos

[silent matrix]

Kk

[regal yarrow]

Extinction is okay, it's bosses are scary the first time, but I wouldn't say they are the best

[safe mist]

Extinction is good, the velos are worth taming

[small flume]

These are the machine gun guys?

[regal yarrow]

Yeah, just don't try to use them for an extinction boss fight nol

[small flume]

Ight

[safe mist]

Not unless you breed them and you need to know how to breed them right

[small flume]

I think ill buy the ultimate bundle thing coz all the maps seem to be awesome

[silent matrix]

Anyone looking to play Gen1? PVE

[safe mist]

Well worth it bruh, well worth it

[regal yarrow]

You need a ton of health because with a velos range you have to tank the hits

Velos are awesome for the drops though

[safe mist]

True but I’ve breed velos with such high health they’ve taken on gigas and won

[warm glacier]

anyone got dinos they dont want

[silent matrix]

dodo

[regal yarrow]

That's actually normal lol

[small flume]

Random question but are servers free?

[safe mist]

If you know how to breed them right

[regal yarrow]

The software is

[silent matrix]

No, on average $15 a month with a hosting provider

Non dedicated is an option but then you can't leave a certain area of the host

[safe mist]

Hosting from same PC is if you know how to

[regal yarrow]

If you host it yourself they are free

[silent matrix]

^

[safe mist]

You can also host them from server machines

[regal yarrow]

If you use a hosting provider, I would recommend gportal for steam, and it's $10 a month

[small flume]

Ight thx guys

[safe mist]

Nitrado is good as well since you can rent Xbox/win10 and steam versions from the same account without paying for separate services
