ark-survival-ascended

[silent matrix]

I don't think there is but there was some event colors

I think it was for the 7 years of ark thing

[grave tiger]

No rainbow dinos? :(

[drowsy zinc]

How much health it needs to not die there

[silent matrix]

Do mutations you can make colorful dinos

[grave tiger]

True

But naturally colorful dinos :(

[silent matrix]

Maybe around 3-5k

[drowsy zinc]

Alright, thanks

[silent matrix]

Be careful for swamp fever

Baryonyx are good for caving but I would mostly recommend megatheriums for swamp cave

[grave needle]

I found a 174 mana and was so pumped, then it did the dive thing into 2 mammoths and despawned 😭

[sullen scaffold]

Are kairukus best for an organic polymer farm? And what's the best method. Waiting for them to grow up entirely or kill them as soon as they hatch? Also is an ascendent sword better or is a club? Let me know!

[silent matrix]

Kairuku are an easy way to get polymer but I recommend killing karkinos and harvesting them with a chainsaw

[sullen scaffold]

I'm on the island right now so I don't have access to karkinos right now but once I ascend off of the island I'll have access.

[silent matrix]

Try moschops with points put into the organic polymer harvesting or a chainsaw

[sullen scaffold]

Ohh I forgot about the moschops

[silent matrix]

I'm thinking about mutating some that's why I remembered them

[long flicker]

pelagornis eating baby penguins

[sullen scaffold]

So, would it be better to wait until they fully grow up to adult or maybe to adolescent before harvesting or does it not matter?

[long flicker]

babies give the most when harvesting with a pelagornis, not sure about moschops

I have 1x harvesting and a decent level pelagornis gives me 80 organic polymer per baby

[silent matrix]

Once again forgot those existed

[sullen scaffold]

And do they work something like ovis do? Leveling up a certain stat or no?

[long flicker]

nah, just younger penguins give more

[regal yarrow]

Best organic poly farm is a house built by bee cave on ci

[sullen scaffold]

Okay cool

[long flicker]

ark makes us fucking murder newborn babies for resources

[regal yarrow]

I think that is only for wild ones

[sullen scaffold]

Wouldn't see why there would be a difference

[long flicker]

I've used it on fresh hatched ones before

of course if it's pve then you'll need to kill the babies manually, and then harvest the corpse using the pelagornis

[regal yarrow]

Huh, I always get less on hatched ones than adult ones

[sullen scaffold]

So what's recommended then? Chainsaw, Moschops, or a pelagornis. Because I'm looking at dododex that says club and sword are better but idk.

[long flicker]

dododex is gathered using player data, not always accurate

but I'd just say try all 3 and see for yourself

I know for sure how much a pelagornis gives per baby penguin but not the other 2

[sullen scaffold]

Okay cool thanks! I'll try them out

[long flicker]

I have a creative mode world where I just fuck around to see what I should do sometimes

[sullen scaffold]

Oh also does higher the level better the harvest exist with these?

[long flicker]

don't think so

[solar aurora]

Manas are very good at deleting themselves.

[grave needle]

Apparently 😂 but fear not, I died to a 180 shortly thereafter

[thorn tusk]

you wanna know something that's good at deleting themselves? wyverns.

especially in lava trenches / world scars

either they believe they can take on a wild level 150 giga, or they drown themselves in lava lmao

[marsh quest]

got a 150 argy 😎

[silent matrix]

Has anyone shot bunch of tranqs at a giga to tame it then had to start hitting it with ur fists to knock it? Cuz I have and it was official lol

[thorn tusk]

well just keep veggie cakes in their inventory and they'll be fine

huh

idk

[thorn tusk]

make sure the snail is on wander though if you want the paste and organic polymer

[tight condor]

hello, i need a Primitive plus specialist. Anyone?

[thorn tusk]

i dont know anyone who plays primitive plus anymore

so sry but i cant help ye

[tight condor]

thats ok

we are very few indeed

[silent matrix]

What do stegosaurus do, or what are they useful for as a pet

[jade verge]

bro i hate dang ichthyornises they killed me, killed my dodo, killed me again, then pooped on me

[median pulsar]

they can harvest different things and their damage is decent

[wispy frigate]

They’re a must-have to soak turrets on pvp
On pve they’re decent but not super amazing for anything

[grave tiger]

does anyone know why my map isn't showing up on unofficial ?

its been like a week and it wont show but its charging my friend to keep the server up

[small lark]

Been an eternity since i have been here, and I'll probably try Fjordur out once it drops now that I have better specs

[lone osprey]

why not tbf

6 more days until i can go crazy with hawks 😌

theyre literally the only thing im looking forward to with fjodur tbh

[median pulsar]

if you had to beat the game using only tames from a certain geological time (jurassic, holocene, etc), which one would you pick?

iguess there would be no reason to pick anything but cretaceous

well, i mean beat the game from start to finish, not just the bossfight, so you're limited on what you can use to harvest stuff with too

[lone osprey]

better idea trying to beat the game but u can only tame ovis and phiomia 😌

do phiomia have any real use early game even? like compared to a parasaur

i only get em because theyre cute

[sullen scaffold]

Is it possible to learn a specific engram without learning all at once?

[silent matrix]

this game is the only game that makes me wanna kms

[sullen scaffold]

That goes to overwatch for me.

[silent matrix]

bro i cant find my own body IN CREATIVE

[grave tiger]

fr

anyone know whats up with servers tho?

i deleted the game to see if it helps

i gotta wait a few hours tho 😦

[silent matrix]

please send HELP

this game is so fucking stupid i cant find my OWN BODY

[grave tiger]

thats happend to me before

sux

[silent matrix]

Im on the verge of working out for 3 hours because of this game

[grave tiger]

ill come with cuz me too

[silent matrix]

Relatable

[lone osprey]

same tbh a part of me dies inside whenever i even open ark but i cant stop

its truly a curse

[turbid leaf]

They poop. A lot. Fertilizer.
Feed them stimberries.

[obtuse wyvern]

im sorry but did this person really say phiomias are cute

[lone osprey]

oh yea i forgot about that

[lone osprey]

theyre adorable i adore them

[obtuse wyvern]

💀

[lone osprey]

i do not give a shit about a dinos utility tbh i tame stuff because i want to lmao

[obtuse wyvern]

im the exact opposite

[lone osprey]

fair

[young jungle]

Fertiliser machine

[silent matrix]

Early game, they don't need the poop gatler early game to grow crops

[silent matrix]

What is the total sum of the size of all the maps and dlcs (paid and free) together cuz I might upgrade my storage soon and I want a dedicated drive for ark and other games (I use the epic games version of ark)

[glad grotto]

Nearing 3-400gb iirc

It's a lot

Either way just get a 1tb. Future you will thank you

[sullen scaffold]

So I had a little bit of the hairstyles you get from achievements and I checked this time around when I created a new survivor and they're gone besides the curly one. Is this a bug or what could have happened?

[cunning kernel]

Me when I die after I dc and lose everything:

"Fuck you ark, I'll see you again tomorrow!"

[silent matrix]

Yup I was actually going to get a 1tb storage upgrade it's kinda expensive for me but it will be worth it

[glad grotto]

Make sure you get one with a good transfer rate

A slow drive will bog down your machine make make loading times insufferably long

[lone osprey]

theyre literally chubby ant eaters

[lone osprey]

nah fr this games cancer sometimes but its got me in a chokehold 😫

[heavy bay]

Does anyone want to play ark with me?

[fierce vigil]

Am i the only one who gets disconnected if another players OF a different tribe gets close to me on Official pvp servers, if not. Does anyone have a fix for it?

[dire swan]

Hi all, about to vs the gamma brood for the first time, would anyone be nice enough to accept a PM from me with the list of my army and give me their thoughts?

[late owl]

Hey 👋 when does this x2 anniversary event end?

[south shale]

Sure

[thorn tusk]

ight, interested to see your army

[subtle field]

they look like a babirusa

which is a species of wild swine that has long and curvy tusks that typically grow backwards and curve around into their own skulls, usually resulting in its death

[errant spoke]

So i'm currently playing with the Primal Fear mod on Crystal Isles and no vanilla or primal fear wyverns are spawning except the 3 crystal variants, is there anything I can do to solve this? The internet doesn't seem to know 😦

[subtle field]

crystal wyverns are the only wyverns that can spawn on CI

[errant spoke]

fr? i spent 30h on this map, darn

[thorn tusk]

primal fear mod? sounds interesting

gonna add it to my list of mods imma add when i replace my ark to get ark on steam

[errant spoke]

just don't do it on crystal isles lmao. It's really fun and has some tough bosses towards the end 🙂

[thorn tusk]

ight

what mods should i add to this list that im making

[rancid field]

S+

[placid sundial]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2276896063 well this is my modlist, but it’s vanilla-style so half of it’ll be just underpowered compared to primal fear since it’s an overhaul

[wicked egret]

Where in my server files can I adjust xp multiplier and stat per level? I use Apex Hosting

[rugged sparrow]

what are good cloner griffin stats?

[subtle field]

look for stamina HP and melee

a level 260 would be best with 51 points into melee, stam, and HP give or take 2 points in each

the rest of the stats are "useless stats" such as food, oxygen, and speed

[rugged sparrow]

how would you get a 260 if you can only tame out as high as 225

can you use mutagen on griffins?

and do you know the actual %stat by chance it makes thing simpler cause you can’t check points on a tamed griffin

[subtle field]

no, tamed a 180 griffin with 100% TE

got to level 260 posttame

[silent matrix]

Appple

[vocal ingot]

TIL 2 very nice things that might be useful to someone (?)

1. The maewing is a surprisingly powerful water mount (given its speed and no oxygen)
2. The amount of black pearls you can get at the black pearl lake in the lost island is STUPIDLY insane - I just got 449 pearls in one visit, and there’s barely any dangerous dinos, maybe the snow owls and a couple rexes but nothing too hard
   2.5 I guess?. Damn black pearls weigh a shitton I mean don’t get me wrong I know they’re heavy but I’ve never bothered holding this many black pearls at once, they weigh about 900 in total sheesh

[lean bear]

in the black pearl lake i got 2 rexes and one carno alfa

I wouldn't go only with an argy

[worn stream]

Why does everyone think the obelisks are free dino parking

[lean bear]

cool big light 😎

[tardy oar]

Guys when my friend joins me and he gets kicked by battleye after 5 min what do i do?

we verfied game files

[crimson patrol]

Getting good is the only thing you can do at that point

[manic pollen]

does reaper baby timer scale with hatching or?

[gloomy flare]

hey

[vocal ingot]

I went in with a decent level maewing, easy entry easy exit, and levelled enough to actually be able to take down pretty strong dinos

[fervent oak]

Are cryofridges bugged? We had some cables decay because we weren't on for over a week and came on today to find every single cryopod dead. They had 30 days charge last time I checked, and the fertilized eggs in the refrigerator still has 5 days left of decay on them.

[manic pollen]

man does anyone know does reaper baby timer scale with hatch speed?

[lean bear]

By strong you mean raptors

Maewing can't take a carno same lvl

Without havign red hp

[vocal ingot]

Not really, my maewing is about level 230 and I was able to take down a level 60 alpha Rex with it with like 80% of my health left

And if/when shit hits the ceiling fan you can just zoom out of there with it

[vocal ingot]

260*, just checked, but the majority of the levels I put in are into weight, given I have 3.3k weight on it

[placid sundial]

Sounds like singleplayer settings tbh

Massively boosts health and damage on tame dinos

[errant spoke]

awesome spyglass

[subtle field]

so earlier i did the math to see how much melee damage you would need on an equus to instantly knock out a level 180 giga
500090% melee damage should do the trick

i dont know why, its completely useless info, but its fun knowing that at some point, you can instantly knock a giga with a horse

[placid sundial]

Ark has completely frozen on upload without telling me if the upload actually completed. however mod seems fine from the workshop page, so if you wanna give it a try, here it is steam://openurl/https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2817748659
If it needs to be made unlisted for it to work on the server, or if it seems like half the files aren't there.. lmk. my inter's crappy rn so it is possible it's just taking fucking forever to upload
Doesn't have crafts rn, just named items

[cosmic belfry]

That’s how it’s always been. DO NOT OPEN THEM if they are not powered. Power them back up and then open them and they will be good

[manic pollen]

How does one decerase night time speed on a server?

There is no night setting as default

[placid sundial]

editing the ini, however your server host requires it

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[subtle field]

oh and btw, are you able to host a dedicated ark server on a windows 11 machine?
i already read the wiki page

[placid sundial]

@placid sundial thanks, checking it out now.

[subtle field]

because i want to hold an ark event a discord server im in
just dont know how to host a server or have money to spend on renting one

[placid sundial]

I'd assume the process is same as always. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1dcWkSzGd4 is the video the person who hosts the server i play on used

[worthy pagoda]

Event over?

[glad epoch]

Greetings, is it a known bug that the TEK armor (full suit) doesn't protect from gas, like swamp gas in the caves?

[frosty yew]

So, who do we contact about the event colors not working on Xbox/Win10 unofficials?

Because the common theme of releasing updates for events only to have a rather important part of them simply not work at all (usually specifically for the unofficial servers) is getting kind of old.

Also, no, Nitrado has not responded to questions regarding the issue and wether or not it is on their end/their fault (not to mention, the colors are working fine on official from what I'm seeing.)

Also to the 2nd power, the discord invite link in the new community crunch is broken and takes you to an empty page. Just thought someone would like to know.

[versed gale]

@placid sundial Server said "mod details could not be retrieved from steam"
Is the mod hidden?

[placid sundial]

Unlisted

Set it public now

Running update/verify now. Takes a while.

[rugged sparrow]

how did you tame a 180 griffin wtf

[subtle field]

max spawn level on the cluster i play on is 180

and i found one with high melee and good stam so i tamed it

ended up at level 260 posttame

[cyan turtle]

ive never even GOTTEN a griffin

[cursive scaffold]

griffins are one of the most fun creatures to fly with cuz of the dive.

[subtle field]

they are easy tames
just go to the griffin canyon on CI with some net, some shocking darts, and exeptional kibble

[cyan turtle]

nah snow owls are better

[subtle field]

unpopular opinion: snow owls are better
wont argue my point

[cursive scaffold]

saying snow owls are better doesnt change what i said though. I said one of the most fun

[cyan turtle]

snow owls first have therma, dive like a griffin, huge stomp and better stats then a griffin

[cursive scaffold]

i literally think snow owls are the best but yall wanna argue with somebody that shares the same thought lmao

[subtle field]

but griffins are nice with you being able to shoot while flying

[cyan turtle]

tru

[subtle field]

its fun to just run up on someone and dome them with a pistol while flying

too lazy to go mine out obsidian rocks so im just gonna kill rock elementals

[past beacon]

does anyone know when the event ends?

[vagrant walrus]

Probably at evening as always 8-9pm uk

[past beacon]

ya im tryna figure out if i should cryo before my gigas need imprinted or if i can leave em out for another 4hr timer

[vagrant walrus]

I think 2-3h still

[past beacon]

you think will be more than 4 hrs from now then?

[odd rampart]

Guys what are the best single player settings

[past beacon]

hey gta depends how much time you want to spend in ark but if your solo just messing round x10 is good or use single player settings option increases stuff for small tribes and solos

give more engram points, etc

[odd rampart]

I’m looking to beat the game as I’ve never done it before so I’m looking for the best settings for it

[past beacon]

game takes long time to beat, if solo i would suggest at least x10 or single player settings because it will take you years lol

unless your using a tribe

just breeding boss dinos takes ages

[odd rampart]

Nope no tribe just me, also could put explain what you mean by x10, sorry it’s just I’m not really sure what that stuff means

[past beacon]

single player settings set breeding at like x20 i think too

then just leave everything vannila and check the 'use single player settings' box and see if you like it and adjust from there

look up the 'single player settings' it changes a ton of stuff in the game even when you leave everything vannilla , look on wiki for all the diff settings it changes

[odd rampart]

Okay thanks

[past beacon]

then you can adjust harvest rates and any other basic stuff you want from that settings menu as you play and see what you like

[silent matrix]

Imo 3x exp gain with sp settings enabled is good

[honest seal]

Newbie here, I just landed my first 150 Megatherium, got almost 20 Superior buscuits made for taming. I'm curious though, how far down do you really need to starve a creature to maximize tame?

I'm on default settings solo game

[crystal jackal]

I’m hosting an ark Xbox server through nitrado, my friend on Xbox can join but me on windows 10 can’t?

[finite sparrow]

it really comes down to knowing how low the hunger bar needs to go before feeding it. i couldn't tell you the exact stats but dododex and other ark tools can help calculate when

[honest seal]

So guessing don't have to fully starve or even too half way. I put info in for species/level and food that it wanted and it went off pretty fast. Though, being paranoid, I've been letting it starve down to under 50%

[fringe heron]

Can I ask questions about mods here?

[silent matrix]

I just got banned from a server for not having the same opinion as a mod

[fringe heron]

I meant like ark mods lol not moderators

[honest seal]

lol

[tough yarrow]

Might be better in #unofficial-setup-help

[potent pumice]

When does the event end?

[grave needle]

Uh are gasbags supposed to clip through dino gates lol

[subtle field]

what do yall say the best theme is?
manticore
overseer
rockwell prime
or king titan

[silent matrix]

Probably not

[silent matrix]

I say Rock or King

[pliant grove]

Anyone able to give me a blood stalket? On official pvp?

[subtle field]

because the PC and console releases are different and not cross play compatible

[tough yarrow]

It was answered in a other channel. Both Microsoft store versions are crossplay compatible with each other.

[junior lodge]

if your buddy is playing on the MS Store version of ark he cain join only if you have the option selected in the Nitrado dashboard

[subtle field]

i am infering that their friend was on the steam version for windows 10

[tough yarrow]

They said they were hosting an Xbox server on nitrado.

@round nebula #735196255483068497

[honest seal]

Is the Pride month event only on Multiplayer servers? I'm not seeing anything on Solo game play

[tough yarrow]

It is not available on singleplayer

[versed gale]

My server cluster has been offline during this event, hopefully I can still have the dino colors spawn beyond deadline by settings ActiveEvent=ark7th

[grizzled venture]

Why does Dododex say a Club/Sword harvests more polymer than a chainsaw?

[left bloom]

I wanna see more trailers for the desmondus and overall fjodur before it comes out

[grizzled venture]

Could someone confirm this?

[versed gale]

It's not true. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet

[grizzled venture]

And does anyone know how organic polymer harvesting is actually calculated?

[subtle field]

because the club gains more when harvesting penguins

[versed gale]

You can confirm this yourself. Kill a dodo with a sword/club...then another with a chainsaw. Chainsaw wins

wait....polymer....I might be wrong...I was thinking hide

[subtle field]

yes

[daring fox]

My ark is glitched and I’m on Xbox I can’t play it anymore and idk why. It won’t install when I click install. When I go to the game files for ark to uninstall it it acts like I have no progress or files for ark. How can I fix this?

[versed gale]

You get the MOST polymer from a gacha that spits it out. lol

[subtle field]

chainsaws have a 4.8 star harvest for organic poly
clubs have a 4.9 star and same with swords, however a sword will usually harvest in 1 hit and give less

[grizzled venture]

Just penguins specifically or karkinos and such

[subtle field]

farm karkinos and harvest them with a club

[grizzled venture]

cause I be out here chainsawing crabs

Gotcha

That's some mad useful insight 🙏 thanks for the info drop

[subtle field]

or use a giga or rex
they will give more on average than with any club or chainsaw

[grave needle]

Lmfaooooo nobody told me gasbags take 30% fall damage from landing 😂 how am I supposed to keep this thing alive lol

[median pulsar]

can anything go wrong from using mindwipe tonic?

[cursive scaffold]

not really

[sly aurora]

guys does the ice titan (tamed) have tiers?

[royal dagger]

Can i take snow owl to the Island to levl up her but that her stats Will not be reseted to level 1(that hapend to me with a wyvren)?

[regal yarrow]

Don't transfer in cryos. I think transferring in the actual Dino transfer works for that

[royal dagger]

Ok

[odd rampart]

I don’t know why I’m getting so bored of ark

[solar karma]

Alright, so I’m trying to upload an Ark painting. I uploaded it, but there’s no “MyPaintings” folder. How do i get it to show up?

[odd rampart]

I think it’s cause I’m always playing alone

[odd rampart]

But I’ve never even completed the Game but I feel like I can’t play for more then 5 mins

[undone forge]

That's called burnout, sometimes it goes away, sometimes it doesn't, taking a break is the best way to make it go away

[polar urchin]

man I have max diff and setting for max dinos checked and I get crap for dino spawns

[median pulsar]

there's a whole world out there full of other things to do

[grave needle]

The story maps are scaled to make high levels rare

[odd rampart]

I really want scorched earth but it’s so annoying that you have to buy this stupid pass thing

[polar urchin]

bleh. I'll kill a bunch and hopefully inspire to give me a few more

[versed gale]

@placid sundial I am not at a PC that can run Ark right now but I have a couple of players online that have confirmed their element and element shard items are there. They only had a few of the other items but at least 1 in each category has been spotted (artifacts, trophies and alpha trophies). When I get home, I should be able to verify all items since I should have most if not all items in storage. But for right now, its looking great.

[odd rampart]

Also I was wondering do you move straight on to scorched earth after beating the island? Like for free? I always thought that

[grave needle]

No

[odd rampart]

Damn, it would make sense tho

[grave needle]

After ascending on one map you're still on that map with your same character

[odd rampart]

So annoying that you have to buy a pass to get scorched

[placid sundial]

Awesome! 😄 Hopefully they work enough for crafting

[grave needle]

To be honest that's for the best, scorched is by far the blandest map in that bundle. You'd likely like the others much more

[odd rampart]

I might get it as some point, right now I’m trying to save money

[versed gale]

Scorched Earth might be a bland map but it should be experienced by all players. Preferably before visiting the other maps. I got my start on the Island but then went to SE after that. It was a TOUGH start and a great challenge (I still payback raptors to this day!)

[grizzled venture]

Poor SE, had to be rushed out during a lawsuit iirc

Still an exceptional experience for what it's worth

[versed gale]

You might get all the dinos and engrams on other maps but you don't get that same experience.

[polar urchin]

I love how diff SE was from the Island, totally different challenge

[grizzled venture]

Mhm.

[celest reef]

hi guys! i can't join into pc xbox servers since 29/05.... The loading screen is stuck on "PrimalGameData_BP" until fail.... Then appears a message "Could not retrieve address.".

[neat wharf]

I would like to see a map that is just about covered in water that you don’t need to install an modded map for

[polar urchin]

that would be pretty wild...subnautica meets ark

[neat wharf]

There is a map on steam that I can’t remember the name of but I would like something like that

[median pulsar]

ark waterworld starring kevin costner

[neat wharf]

The map is called ark: the sunken world

[glad grotto]

We need a full sized tek sub then cyclops style with a docking bay

That would be pretty awesome

[buoyant escarp]

Is it common to get a shit ton of mantis saddles and bps from drops on Val because that’s all I’ve been getting

[neat wharf]

Don’t remember getting a ton of them, maybe the ark gods r telling you to make a mantis army

[placid sundial]

Curios about this lawsuit? havent heard of that before

[silent matrix]

Can shadowmanes teleport to aberration boss? (I have download non-abberant creatures enabled)

[cursive scaffold]

yes

[neat wharf]

What does the Dino difficulty mean in settings again?

[polar urchin]

that setting and the max level one both have to be set to allow the game to spawn up to max level dinos

difficulty at 1.0 and max level checked

[neat wharf]

Ok, I have max difficulty checked already, what happens if I change the difficulty to 2.0? Or higher

[polar urchin]

I'm not sure if that does anything, CM probably knows 😛

[tough yarrow]

The menu slider will not work correctly. If you want dinos higher than 150, you will have to use OverrideOfficialDifficulty in your ini settings.

[neat wharf]

Oh ok

[tough yarrow]

The pins in #bobs-with-probs and #unofficial-setup-help both have the instructions, if you'd like to do that.

[neat wharf]

Yeah I have done that to make my max level 450 but wasn’t sure what would happen if I were the increase the difficulty, thanks tho

[polar urchin]

is there a way to make trees stop spawning near your base, like can you put something where they spawn and it will stop them?

[tough yarrow]

On the island, and some other story maps, the levels are going to be lower and it will still be difficult to find higher levels anyway, just because the distribution on those maps suck.

[tough yarrow]

Foundations will

[polar urchin]

Can someone tell me why I got 20 polymer from adult penguins but around 200 from baby penguins

[upper scaffold]

Rng

[keen quartz]

I consistently got around 200 from baby’s and consistently got around 20 adults tho

[upper scaffold]

Ah

Ig baby's have more poly

[keen quartz]

The devs are trying to make us commit child murder

[upper scaffold]

Hell yea

Gotta fix overpopulation somehow

[keen quartz]

I just tamed two Kairuku’s time to commit max genocide

[upper scaffold]

😈

[keen quartz]

What tier of kibble to you get from penguin eggs anyway

[upper scaffold]

No clue

Never made kibble

[neat wharf]

Done that in ark, killed 500 wild wyverns at once due to overspawn

[keen quartz]

Waiting for metal to smelt be like

[neat wharf]

Use a industrial forge, smelts 20 metal at once I think, when you get the metal and stuff that is

[upper scaffold]

Get multiple indi forges

[keen quartz]

What do you think I’m smelting metal for

[neat wharf]

I prefer to get one, last time I had 10 down to smelt metal I burned through 1k gasoline in my generator

nah cuz i love those little guys so much i cannot bring myself to kill em for poly

[brazen yarrow]

someone join me im on pc 25x 3 man just started have over 2k hours on ark

[versed gale]

@placid sundial I think I found some issues. I see "Element" and "Element Shards" in my trophies boxes on two different maps which should not have any in there. I will go through what I can verify to be working what I cannot verify must be the one with the typo (unknown if it was a typo in the original classID though...and if so, will never work)

[placid sundial]

Potentially, Ill double check it tonight. I trued to base the names off of the class ID but may have gotten some wrong still

[versed gale]

I will narrow it down for you....just give me a few minutes.

[azure sundial]

I think we can all agree piranhas are the most annoying thing to deal with in the first hours of the game

You can normally out run them

[silent matrix]

anyone know the best pvp servers on steam/epic games doesnt matter if unofficial or official?

alpha apex tribute 1 scroll to 15 alpha apex tributes (max stack size = 100)
apex tribute 1 scroll to 15 apex tributes (max stack size = 100)
artifacts 1 scroll to 1 artifact (max stack size unknown, set to 1000 should be ok)

I was able to verify seeing all other items.

[placid sundial]

Ah fuck i forgot stack sizes

I do remember doing all of those trophies specifically so they should be fine

But stack sizes. shit.

Thanks

I'd prefer to set the mod back to unlisted till stack sizes are fixed, if that's alright

Not in vanilla

[versed gale]

That is fine. I am shutting down the maps and restoring them to this morning before turning them on.

[placid sundial]

Thanks

Glacius, a modmap. That's it

Out of curiosity, what happens if you craft multiple artifacts into your inventory? Do the extra ones get deleted?

Since they're supposed to be limited to one at once, curious how the game reacts

[versed gale]

We could not extract a scroll if there was one already in our inventory.

[placid sundial]

Ahh

[versed gale]

Extract 1 artifact, put in box, extract another artifact, put in box, etc.

[placid sundial]

How did the extracting work? Was it actual crafting?

Or using the item deleted the original and returned the tribute?

[versed gale]

I pressed E and it reduced the scroll quantity by one and placed the artifact in our inventory if it had room

With element scrolls, we pressed and held E to quickly extract them.

artifacts and element was 1 to 1 but 1 shard scroll extracted 100 shards. 1 trophy scroll extracted 15 trophies

I think one of those items are miss-labeled or miss-classed as element or element shard because each storage box had some of both. The one with 3 stacks of element might have really been fire talon because I know I had a lot of them. Unsure what the shards could be linked to but it has to be on that short list I gave you.

[placid sundial]

Thanks. Bit more complex than initially expected, will see if it’s feasible to set that up quickly.. tbh, graphing is probably faster than 70 odd engrams

[placid sundial]

Are there any labelled ‘generic consumable’?

Though regardless should probably be clear where the issue is when I check them again tonight

[versed gale]

I wouldn't think it should matter how it worked before in terms of how to convert it back with exception to the artifacts needing to be one at a time and shards can be too heavy to extract a 1000 stack all at once.

[placid sundial]

Yeah I’d probably have to do it for artifacts- and at that point may as well go the whole way

Do it once for everything

[versed gale]

all items have a description of "Its a generic consumable"

[placid sundial]

Fortunately I had the foresight to creature a base item so they can all use the one set of code long as I set it up right

[placid sundial]

Yeah didn’t bother to change those, item names are the concerns

Oh actually they would be called just ‘ Scroll’ if I missed them

[versed gale]

Every scroll that I saw had a name prefix...none were just "scroll" by itself.

[placid sundial]

Probably means I’ve just jumbled some around somehow then. I’ll check it out tonight

[versed gale]

How much trouble would it be to set weight to hardly anything so a low-level player to be carrying nothing but a full inventory of scrolls?

[placid sundial]

Easy, can do that too

I’ll tryyyy and remember but if you wanna be safe ping me in about 13 1/2 hours

[versed gale]

Awesome. I really appreciate your help.

[placid sundial]

No problem!

[versed gale]

I edited the code post above to put it all in one.

[grave needle]

Oh my god I just got my first velonasaur, where has this been all my life lol

[indigo sonnet]

Play as a Dino when

[polar urchin]

why is my dire bear not getting any honey/polymer from bee cave? I am right clicking on the hives

[regal yarrow]

I have always used a doed or hatched/pick

[polar urchin]

dire bears supposed to be helpful there, guess it's a myth

[violet rivet]

Use a pick for honey , hatchet for poly. Bears are used so you don’t die to bees

[polar urchin]

I jumped on the bear after the bees aggrod...still died 😦

[manic furnace]

im tryna install mods but they aren't installing, it says installing mods but ive been here for 3 hours and not a single mod was installed

[thorn tusk]

to bee fair, the bees were aggrod on you, not the bear

[polar urchin]

I agree, ah well. if the bears can't harvest the honey there's no point in bringing them

[thorn tusk]

use the bear to harvest the honey

i think it's either m1 or m2 and the bear harvests honey,

the bear also harvests more honey than you can

[polar urchin]

tried both, nuttin. I'm on CI, maybe it doesn't work on that map

just have to use insect repellant and hope for the best

[thorn tusk]

a full suit of ghillie also prevents you from being attacked

[polar urchin]

need the polymer to get the ghillie 😛

It's a trap!

[thorn tusk]

penguin though

Uh, yeah easy lol

[subtle field]

definitely
gamma broodmother is ridiculously easy

[silent matrix]

...

Seriously?

Bruh

Alright then, I'll transfer from val to the island and start uncryoing

[regal yarrow]

You could probably easily beat gamma brood

[slate widget]

I like it, Deinos are cool :P

[regal yarrow]

Yeah Val is like the most underrated map of all time, it is amazing

[thorny granite]

Ugh I think I messed up my breeding somehow... all the stats match but the level of the male is way higher than the female

[silent matrix]

why is there a slug on my face

[tough yarrow]

It's a leech, stand on or near a campfire and it should come off.

[silent matrix]

why does my dilophosaur keep harvesting my shit

i stopped him but hes still doing it

y favorite map so far. It's just pretty imo. I live there and have a nice little piece of real estate just north of the green obl

[bleak mason]

guys i died and lost my stuff then when i tried to go to the mark i died again and lost the mark how can i find my body?

[silent matrix]

whats the use of raw prime meet

[silent matrix]

It's excellent for taming carnivores, but spoils relatively quickly

Or you can cook it for more food and restored health then normal cooked meat

[mossy wigeon]

Wasn’t the event supposed to end today? I’m still finding Dinos with colors on official

[silent matrix]

whats the best and most common

dino to use it on

Literally half the dinos in ark eat it

ight

Anything that tries to eat you will eat it

[silent matrix]

No more colored ones will spawn, but the colored ones that are still alive won't disappear

So if you want only normal ones, kill every colored one you see

[mossy wigeon]

Oh okay I’ll tame the ones I see still then

[tight condor]

bump ☺️

[silent matrix]

can i not tame a titanoboa through tranq arrows?

[polar urchin]

nope

check dododex

gotta feed it a fertilized egg iirc, passive tame

[silent matrix]

does tranq arrows work on uh

the hippo looking large guy

pi something

[slender ingot]

Probably

[polar urchin]

go to dododex, you get answers to these questions AND way more, including taming tips from people

what to feed, how to tame, how to breed, good stats, etc

[carmine silo]

Noob question, but anyone can recommend to me how to farm oil for a low-level character

[thorny granite]

Go to the beach and kill trilobites, probably the easiest/safest way.

[polar urchin]

depends on the map, but trolobites are a safe bet

[thorny granite]

Or killing tek creatures. Parasaurs are pretty easy to kill, esp. if you bola them.

[silent matrix]

MY fat stego keeps killing anyone who i tried to tame wtf

[polar urchin]

put it on passive

it's probably set to attack your target

or make it stay back a ways before you tame

[silent matrix]

i did but it attacks something and kills the entire world along with it

[polar urchin]

leave it at your base when you got out to tame

if it's set to passive it won't aggro anything

[silent matrix]

no i use the attack on a different dino

and it kills EVERYTHING, why? its already passive

[polar urchin]

if it's on passive it won't attack anything. if it's attacking it's not on passive

[silent matrix]

ah alr then

[silent matrix]

i have a female and a male dinosaur 😄

[polar urchin]

when you get a chance watch a youtube vid on breeding/mutations

[silent matrix]

there was this bigass dino

i went and shot it cuz haha

it one shotted me and my dilo guy. i instantly unplugged my xbox

i would lose too much progress

[polar urchin]

lol

[silent matrix]

can you tame

that fat rocky dino

[polar urchin]

you can tame almost everything, go to dododex, you can see the pics of the dinos, find what you saw, see what it says

learn to love that site, it'll save you a ton of time

[quaint cliff]

how do i play the servers that have pvp like in the youtube videos?

[polar urchin]

press join ark from main menu and find a pvp server, use server filters

[quaint cliff]

but there are clusters and stuff like mts and stuff right?

because a lot of them are like 5/70 and less

[polar urchin]

not sure, I don't pvp tbh, check out the pvp discussion channel or pc pvp servers channel if you are on pc

[silent matrix]

I got auto turrets at last second before getting off it was a pain cuz someone found my base

Hope it is ok until tomorrow lol cuz the guy only had a trop wyvern

[rancid field]

hey! wondering, do 2 tek troughs totally filled with cooked meat can last 11 hours for 4 adolescent giganotosaurus?

Is it normal for alphas to be putting a giga in your base for the fun of it

[slender ingot]

What makes you question that it's not?

It's level 401 and it says leave these bobs alone

[slender ingot]

It's normal

hi ark chat

[unkempt raptor]

my partner found a lvl 45 giga
it's now his goal to tame it

[silent matrix]

Are all the alpha creatures that were released on the epic version of ark? if not what are the alpha creatures that are not on the epic version

[unkempt raptor]

but he's too lazy to make the trap so he plans on just winging it
🤦‍♂️

[silent matrix]

It's very hard to tame a giga without a trap

[unkempt raptor]

he's in a hard cave (lvl 200+ stuff) w a level 130 sabertooth
he doesn't listen when i say things are a bad idea

[silent matrix]

Bruh

He's gonna get wiped out instantly

[unkempt raptor]

he's somehow sorta surviving

his saber is nearly dead and he's trying to find a way outta the cave (it's the one on lost island that you drop into)

[silent matrix]

Well he better get out as soon as he can or else they will both die

[unkempt raptor]

he made it

[silent matrix]

That's cool

I guess he was well prepared

[slender ingot]

Google wtf u typing 😑

[prisma sand]

1 use every 24 hours (real time) unless the server setting to remove the cooldown is enabled.

[unkempt raptor]

he's gonna come back w a 145 sloth when he tames one

[prisma sand]

What? Lol

[silent matrix]

Thanks

[silent matrix]

Still not a good idea

[unkempt raptor]

ik 😔

by 145 sloth i mean like 220 or whatever post tame lvls it gets

he says he wants a thyla now

[silent matrix]

I always try to be as close or exceed the level of the cave creatures of the cave I am going in cuz I mainly rely on the dino I am on

[silent matrix]

Can someone answer me this question cuz I need to make sure that all of the are on the epic games version of ark

[unkempt raptor]

im pretty sure all are on epic but im only on steam so i cant say for sure

idk why they wouldnt be on epic tho?

[silent matrix]

Ik I am realizing how trash the version on epic is

Is it banned to get the steam version of ark through salad?

Cuz if not I am using salad to get the steam version and it's on the salad store

[fierce ruin]

what?

[burnt pollen]

looking for good and popular australian ark server cluster, join ASEArk, dm me for detalis and server invite

[glad grotto]

It's an app that borrows users computing power and reimburses them

Kinda like crypto mining but the computing power is used for a shared cloud instead of crypto

If your house has solar or your area has very cheap electricity I'd say more power to you but if not you're more or less making a profit of 10 dollars or so month without electricity coats factored in. With electricity coats you're actually better off just buying the game because you're running at zero profit if not a loss

[upper scaffold]

Idk if it's legal, but no one is gonna ban you for it

why Server GEN2 1008 Is OFF

when will ark go on steam sale?

Ok guys I just want to make sure, 88 was the limit of how many levels a dino could gain, right?

[upper scaffold]

Depends what dino

[dapper crystal]

Fjordur

[silent matrix]

Salad is an app that can make your pc or laptop able to crypto mine and make money through it no matter how good your pc or laptop is you will still be able to crypto mine it only differs in the amount of money it generates and with the latest version you can earn more money cuz it is supposed to allow dual mining where it uses both your gpu and cpu and it has a special store where you can use the money you generated and buy stuff with from video games to gaming components for more information look it up

[fierce ruin]

oh right

Try restarting steam

[median pulsar]

where are you trying to download it from

[brazen verge]

Can you get dev wiped for bringing a reaper to new maps that aren’t open to the big cluster

[upper scaffold]

transfers are locked so idk how you will bring a reaper

[brazen verge]

It’s been a thing forever you literally just get yourself pregnant and transfer

I just don’t know if your allowed to do it cause of how easy it is or if it’s not allowed

Unless they fixed that from the last time I played

[serene root]

If we put some event settings for our host server, it will change our rates settings? or just add skins?

[placid sundial]

steam and epic are all but identical except only steam has mods and joining servers on Epic is weird

You can play steam and epic together

[placid sundial]

i think they added a config to prevent that, not entirely sure though

[brazen verge]

Thanks for letting me know

[raven stone]

Yo its not letting me transfer I'm on xbox smalls

[hearty wolf]

What stats do I focus on for yutyrannus

[runic bramble]

Can't transfer on PC official either

[neat wharf]

I don’t think you can transfer while pregnant anymore

[silent matrix]

007

[versed gale]

If have not messed with Reapers in a long time but I could have swore that if you were pregnant, you would lose the reaper baby if you got radiated or transferred maps. Transfer no longer wipes the baby now?
Then again, Ark is very configurable so each cluster can probably set their own transfer rules however they like.

[neat wharf]

Yeah I think at one point in time you could do that but not anymore havnt tried it in a while tho

[neon basalt]

Can't transfer on Xbox official either

[neat wharf]

Can I transfer non ab Dino’s to ab on singleplayer? On Xbox series x?

[versed gale]

You might be able to xfer dinos that were released AFTER aberration such as those from Genesis

[brazen verge]

Thanks for letting me know

[solar ingot]

Whats an easy way to get red gems without going to the radiation zone valgero

[bronze kindle]

Well for which dinos is it not like that?

[upper scaffold]

tek, gen1 and gen2 dinos are different

[versed gale]

Red gems? Tame a Gacha that spits them out.

[quartz onyx]

anyone else not able to uncryo dinos?

So cool, thanks wild card

#announcements

[neat wharf]

Using a mod that allows them to? They don’t say that or not supposed to

[manic pollen]

nope

[tough yarrow]

You can "enable mating" on most, if not all, dinos. That doesn't mean that they can or will mate.

[silent matrix]

if issue has been fixed my char back yes?

[neat wharf]

Does anyone know if I have to enable a setting on Xbox to transfer non ab creatures to ab in singleplayer? I wanna make a cluster series sometime where I go through all the maps and stuff but not sure if I need a setting enabled to get non ab creatures on ab

anyone else having transfer problems?

Is fjordur out?

[neat wharf]

On the 12th

[tough yarrow]

#announcements

[bronze kindle]

And gigas?

[placid sundial]

aside from the automatically allowed downloads, you need an ini for it

not doable on an xbox

And sidenote that a 'cluster' is literally just a group of connected servers so it's a bit confusing to refer to Singleplayer as such

[stray olive]

For like 15 bucks you can get a h portal server with 10 map slots and settings like that

G

[neat wharf]

Why would I pay for a server only I’m gonna play on lol

[arctic sandal]

Still can't transfer or un pod any dinos

[tough yarrow]

I do it

[stray olive]

It’s a cluster, and you can do that stuff..?

[neat wharf]

Ok, it is gonna be a cluster because I’m gonna do player transfer out my items in a obelisk and go to a diff map and do the same to other maps

[tough yarrow]

But on xbox you do have to use nitrado and not gportal, it is the same prices though.

[neat wharf]

I mean what would u call a cluster if I transfer through maps even tho their not online all the time

[placid sundial]

That is not the definition of a cluster though, it is specifically a group of linked servers

[stray olive]

Oh yeah, thanks for the correction

[placid sundial]

i mean a cluster can be literally 2 Ragnarok maps

By the actual definition

It sounds like you're trying for a story mode? But just transferring to different maps is not at all specific to clusters

[neat wharf]

Yeah I guess it would be a story mode then, I was gonna do something like syntac did where he goes to diff maps to get diff Dino’s and that stuff

[slate widget]

if you play singleplayer thats technically the sole cluster :P

actually the game doesn't say it on PC ark lol. it does on win10

nevermind it won't say it there either as they moved SP saves. I'm just completely wrong

[neat wharf]

Lol

[mighty bridge]

what do i do now my characters disappeared ?

this is so wack honestly

[silent matrix]

now they "fixed" it im stuck downloading lol got to love ark

[lofty ibex]

Maintenance shows up at the worst times

[mighty bridge]

yes it does

[versed gale]

@neat wharf We have all 11 official maps on our cluster of servers. They run all the time. You could do the same with your machine(s) locally but it would require a hefty amount of RAM to run them all at the same time. You could have them all configured to be linked and just spin 2 up at a time. So if your character is on Island and want to migrate to Scorched Earth, just have those 2 online. Once you have everything on SE that you want from the Island, you can shutdown that map and only run the one. When ready for Aberration, spin that up and do the same.

[mighty bridge]

was about to run me a boss aswell

[placid sundial]

What was it currently?

[versed gale]

It shows 10 pounds

[placid sundial]

hmmmm

[neat wharf]

I can’t run multiple servers at once and don’t have anything to run them with, the game will lag super badly if I run ark on my pc but gen2 will crash on Xbox series x, but I don’t need the map online all the time

[placid sundial]

🤔

[versed gale]

Seems like the base item weight is 0.1 and a stack of 100 = 10....a stack of 1000 will be 100. Feather light would be desirable. Can base item weight be 0.001?

[placid sundial]

Ohh you meant 10 for a whole stack

I thought you meant 10 per item. Yeah 0.001 will work

[versed gale]

ya, I didn't remember anything other than seeing 10 so if everything was 100 in a stack, that is what I'm going by. I didn't take a screenshot...just from memory.

[placid sundial]

Makes sense though, ty

Weight hopefully-fixed, checking names and stack sizes now

[versed gale]

Sounds like you are limited to just using single-player and doing the upload to obilesk, then load the other map and download from obilesk. I think that's how SP works....been a LONG time since I did that and I remember it sucked....which is why I went to dedicated servers quickly after that. And also time does not pass with maps offline. Ark was designed with maps being online all the time.

[placid sundial]

the upload to obilesk, then load the other map and download from obilesk.
Yup

[placid sundial]

hmm.. ZCan you check if the scroll is in the files?

might have missed referencing it in BER ><

[dusk pond]

Yo how do i use the admin password on non dedicated server if my friends hosting

[placid sundial]

same way as dedicated

[dusk pond]

how

[placid sundial]

set password, enter enablecheats, etc'

[last drift]

guyss why is this game so freking huge

what the hell?? 200 GB?

[placid sundial]

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

[placid sundial]

meanwhile me having 2 external 500gb ssds dedicated to ark and only ark:

and another 200gb of savefile backups

[last drift]

how many hrs do u have in the game?

and I'm currently downloading it on laptop

[placid sundial]

Over 6k, but one of the SSDs is for the Devkit

[wispy oasis]

Good day

[last drift]

but I have enough space xD

[placid sundial]

So it's one SSD per ark-related application

[last drift]

holyyy xD

[placid sundial]

I'm using a laptop too, but there is no space internally for it

[last drift]

I see

How much fps are u getting in game?

[placid sundial]

it's l;ike a 250g hdd and a 1tb ssd, and I don't hate myself enough to run the devkit off an hdd

[placid sundial]

Depends where I am. At base? I'm lucky to hit 10, because im a dino hoarder and I like my graphics high. When im just testing randm shit on Island, about 30

[neat wharf]

I used to do that for my other cluster series, or whatever you want to call it

[placid sundial]

Though I'm hoping to upgrade to a proper desktop soon, higher end specs.. I'm excited 😄

[neat wharf]

Imma upgrade my pc later

[last drift]

what? 10 fps at base xD

so u play a slideshow?

[placid sundial]

Specially in the summer when the heatlag gets bad

But yes, ive occasionally changed my status to things to the effect of 'Ark: MS Powerpoint edition'

[smoky tartan]

wheres the pc annoucements for update

[placid sundial]

i don't know how i play, its infuriating

[neat wharf]

#patch-notes

[last drift]

I've never played the game

will try it for the first time today

any recommendations for me to have a good first experience?

[vast jackal]

Don't die

[sleek lynx]

Revert to monke

[reef ermine]

Yes, please do not get frustrated at the beginning, because dying is part of the game. And place sleeping bags and later a bed on a foundation as soon as possible. Gives you the chance to reenter where you started your game /built your base

[versed gale]

@placid sundial I see the other wyverns but not the firewyvern in the "apextributes" folder.

[last drift]

you mean if I play pvp server right, but if I play pve then ppl won't be able kill me right

[sleek lynx]

Start pve

[reef ermine]

I meant PVE, but you'll find out yourself and you will understand what I mean 😛

[placid sundial]

Partially the slideshows are my fault for runnning graphics way higher than my specs should, and also for australia summers being pissoff hot with my laptop's shit heating though xD

Personally? Don't touch officials, or pvp. I'd say Singleplayer myself. And spend the first while trying to work shit out yourself before using resources like the Wiki to get a handle on the more complex mechanics. The first few months I spent not knowing what tfI was doing, being scared of everything, and slowly working things out.. Some of my fondest memories to this day

[sleek lynx]

And for the love of everything, DONT start official pve

[placid sundial]

Don't start official*

[sleek lynx]

I already mentioned dont begin on pvp

[reef ermine]

PVE Official was the best experience in a game I had in years, the community can be really great if not box tribes 😄

[last drift]

what's box tribe

hmm

soo no Official pvp or pve

so community servers?

[reef ermine]

find out yourself what you like best, there is no fixed rule

I found PVE great for communcating with other and trading, there are always nice people around that help you start

[placid sundial]

if you want help starting out, but I started out in singleplayer and that's my preferred

I liked working everything out myself, no fun in rushing through everything

[last drift]

I agree yeah, best part of gaming - learning figuring out part

[placid sundial]

You'll reach a point where you know too well how to most efficiently play, you'll stop being scared of sudden dino cries in the night..

Make the most of that experience while you can 😄

[versed gale]

But it is nice ask a question and get an immediate response from other players.

[placid sundial]

Almost wish I could hit the reset button on my experience to feel the way I did starting out again, ngl

[placid sundial]

Yeah, especially when you hit more complex mechanics. Some things are just impossible to learn on your own. And some are fun to be guided to (like I was with wyvern eggs)

[versed gale]

You can by playing a heavily modded server. 😉

[placid sundial]

Overhauls aren't my thing, too much emissive spam and high damage numbers for the sake of it imo

[silent matrix]

can i get some help please

[versed gale]

I played Ark for years and never connected the ability of Oviraptors to steal wyvern eggs without agro'ing them.

[placid sundial]

Noflyers SE with some tweaked spawns and resources, and boosted wild dinos was very refreshing though

[slate widget]

imagine no flyers (or tek flight) or cryos on gen2

[placid sundial]

With what?

[versed gale]

Not talking about millions of hitpoint damage mods...just things that are different like the Avatar-like map....TitanMap

[silent matrix]

with create server

if want help me i will send you a photo

[versed gale]

Create server on Linux?

[silent matrix]

of error

[silent matrix]

no windows server

[slate widget]

are you using ASM?

[versed gale]

Oh well, I have detailed documentation on setting up Linux servers.

[placid sundial]

gen2, im mixed about how I feel about it as noflyers. On the one hand, a lot of the terrain looks fitting for NF. On the other.. The trenches seem ridiculous to get across without flying and the map is too fucking huge and samey for it

[silent matrix]

sorry what is asm

[smoky tartan]

totally should say 6/7/2022

[slate widget]

ark server manager.

[silent matrix]

yes

[placid sundial]

Ah, yeah that's true. In fact I did try that. my second save, I started out on the Hope map. Noflyers, custom spawns, tweaked settings to be more difficult. KBD wild babies. Was a refreshing experience for a bit

[silent matrix]

@slate widget i send you the photo dm

[placid sundial]

Not sure entirely why I stopped playing it, maybe I just felt like it was too similar to Island that I liked better. I started building a base and left it there

[versed gale]

We ran TitanMap for a bit on our server but the map was too unstable and crashes sometimes corrupted itself.

[placid sundial]

I tried to play Valg for it, but the map still just didn't capture me. Which sucks because I do like valg visually.. I have no idea why it didn't click

So my noflyers/second save is currently Island, Ab, and SE

[slate widget]

not sure, make sure you have a proper map set up and are running as administrator

[summer radish]

S

U

[placid sundial]

Ahh, yeah that's the big thing I have with most custom maps tbh. Most of them aren't finished, and I don't want buggy terrain/etc

[summer radish]

S

[placid sundial]

Don't want to build somewhere and then suddenly my base is under the mesh one update too

[summer radish]

[slate widget]

I remember when the island got the ice and deleted my base

[placid sundial]

Yeah I did wonder how people at the time reacted to the Island changes

Half the map got re-designed.. that's a lotta bases wiped

[slate widget]

don't think they did warnings but I could have just missed it. some youtubers likely have reactions to them deleting bases tho

[placid sundial]

means i didn't link it then probably, auuuuuuuuugh gotta load the pgd to fix that 😐 Would you mind checking if all the other files are there?

[slate widget]

the warnings might have been on officials tho I didn't play there

[placid sundial]

I heard something about a 'tape' around the redwoods

[slate widget]

maybe I'm unobservant lol. I didn't notice anything

[versed gale]

I'll cross-reference all files and let you know. Guess I should have done that the 1st time. 😉

[craggy locust]

i havent really played ark since right when the center came out, i was a big "the island" gamer i played about 3k hours on the island, im looking for a friend or 2 to play ark with.. hmu

[slate widget]

they did that to desert on Rag as well right?

[placid sundial]

Haha np, I didn't think to ask either so

[slate widget]

rag

not scorched

big yellow border

[placid sundial]

Redwoods was the only one I recall hearing specifically, but it's possible

Did they have something there before the desert though?

[slate widget]

don't think so. I just remember the border :P

could've been something there before I played the map. didn't play day 1

[silent matrix]

same thing can i get any support for help me on this please

[versed gale]

@placid sundial Here are the only files I found missing:

apexTributes\PrimalItemConsumable_FireWyvern_Scroll
artifacts\PrimalItemConsumable_Immune_Scroll

[placid sundial]

Alr, added them, fixed element stack size, now just artifact stacks

Then i can cook and see how that goes

[lofty ibex]

I am beyond pissed

[neat wharf]

?

[lofty ibex]

A carno broke into the wooden spike enclosure I was taming a lvl 145 argy in

Killed it, killed me, and my only other argy

It took over an hour to get it to over 50%

[neat wharf]

Oof, that’s carnos for ya

[versed gale]

Guess you needed better protection.

[neat wharf]

Are you on a singleplayer?

[lofty ibex]

And I can't go through the mountain to find another one cuz there's a rock elemental blocking the way

[mild chasm]

oof, carnos are pretty much the equivalent of a alpha rap

[versed gale]

Sure you can, lead the rock elemental away.

[lofty ibex]

No, it's an official server

[mild chasm]

They are stupid slow so ye

[versed gale]

I'm talking about better dinos / weapons or more spikes / walls

[exotic sun]

How tf do u do medical brew I have all the ingredients even the water I put em in cooking pot and it doesn't work

[mild chasm]

Tbh idfk

[empty vortex]

whats the perfect amount of snails for a gacha cement farm?

[flint whale]

Wait, what is gacha cement?

I don't know about this :o

[tough yarrow]

Gachas pick up the cementing paste from the snails

[flint whale]

Ohh, so the same as snow owls?

But endless crystal?

[tough yarrow]

Ideally you want the gachas to eat something else, and have endless cp

[flint whale]

Is there a way to drop the crystal somewhere where it won't perish? Or you only do this when you around to pick it up?

[tough yarrow]

You have to pick up the crystals yourself

[flint whale]

Yeah. Thanks for explaining this to me though, new info! Will go tame snails :D

[worn stream]

would someone using a group of rexes to purposefully block the tek cave entrance on the only active crossplay island server be in violation of the COC?

[visual slate]

Where's the lfg channel?

Nvm

[grizzled venture]

using prime?

once you have an argy prime is free

[flint whale]

Unless they are soon going to go in there with said rexes, I would say yes.

COC says you cannot block access to resources or any nodes, caves etc.

[tough yarrow]

#reporting-players

[worn stream]

ye im filing one rn

one of them is about to starve because its really bloody

[flint whale]

:(

[tough yarrow]

They could've finished the fight and lagged out, unless they've been there for days

[worn stream]

nah they have been there for almost 5 - 6 days now

they dont have a tribe name and it shows the offline dmg disabled thing

[flint whale]

Seems like griefing.

[acoustic trench]

does anything destroy bee hives?
i wiped the map to have bee hives spawn again on the island but all of them are gone again over time.

[worn stream]

the rexes are named "who blocking entrance" "dont drown me" and "dont block the entr"

and then another with cuss words and another named "blue"

[flint whale]

Pretty obvious. Do add all of that info to your ticket.

[worn stream]

ye, ive got 3 pictures of it its obviously greifing

theres also some wyverns that are blocking the walk through entrance but i dont think thats gonna be fixed since pretty much everyone has a flyer by the point they are able to do the tek cave

official crossplay isnt classic servers right

[silent matrix]

Can anyone help me get lvl 100+ on my guy i found one of my guys hes lvl 74 i think and could use a hand maxing

[flint whale]

Kill titans!

A strong wyvern or giga can do it. If you don't have either, use behemoth gates (no need for doors) to trap one and pew pew.

[silent matrix]

yea let me get my gloves out and start smacking them lol

[brazen latch]

Giga to kill a dodo

[flint whale]

Good crossbow will do.

[silent matrix]

bet

[flint whale]

Just takes awhile.

[acoustic trench]

does anything destroy bee hives?
i wiped the map to have bee hives spawn again on the island but all of them are gone again over time.

[serene root]

Is Lost island has bad optimisation? I have 45 fps on mid-low and stable 60 fps on Ragnarok

What is other good map for coop host server instead of Ragnarok

Is Crystal isles and Valguero good?

[high solar]

yes they are both well optimized

[median pulsar]

i remember having some issue like this on a private valguero server last year, we never found a fix

hope that helps

[acoustic trench]

:/ it didnt disappear all at once just some at a time

so i though something destroy them

[narrow dagger]

Has anyone else's uploads and uploaded characters disappeared too since transfers got messed up? I thought they fixed it

[flint whale]

Has someone done the math on how long crystal wyvern food lasts? I have one with 200 left and don't want to miss when i need to pick it up.

[devout linden]

Does anyone know why I can't place pillars against walls? It just says build object obstructed

I was following a tutorial and they did it fine, I can share the link if I'm allowed to.

[tough yarrow]

You can share pics of your building issues/questions in #building-screenshots and have people dm you or reply in #building-discussions

[placid sundial]

Alright, try now

[median pulsar]

what are the most useless tames in 2022?

[flint whale]

Are there useless tames?

Like depends on what you personally won't need.

[median pulsar]

carnotaurus

[azure sundial]

Are all the dlc/Add ons worth the money

[hearty wolf]

Can I find a velonasaur in valguero?

[silent matrix]

Do alphas raid small wooden bases?

[delicate fog]

Hey Can anyone help me tame a reaper on gen 2? I just started on thé serv

On a serv*

[dapper crow]

if you've just started it wouldn't be helping, it'd be doing it all for you

work up to getting it before asking for it lol

[silent matrix]

I am taming a lvl 390 pteranodon and I have put walls and spikes all around him I've never done this before

[versed gale]

Will do but 1st work is calling me. 🙂

[worn stream]

does greenhouse effect have any effect on crops in a tek crop plot or no

[hearty wolf]

Can I find a velonasaur in valguero?

[chilly rapids]

Any release date yet for ark 2?

[south forge]

Roughly 2022, the pins in #ark-2 is all the information we really know about it.

[silent matrix]

Is there a setting or a command that I can type inorder to make alpha dinos tameable? Cuz I want to make my game more challenging also I am on single player

[flint whale]

This I will actually afgree with :D Not many uses for them.

[placid sundial]

Forcetame, if you mean making it more challenging by buffing wild dinos around you

[flint whale]

I think they are in the game to show you that you can use yuti buff xD

[placid sundial]

Earlygame they make a good 'first carbivore'

try the onyc

[flint whale]

Hmm. Maybe. I always go for a pack of raptors.

[placid sundial]

can't tame it till youre somewhat progressed, and it has 0 uses

[flint whale]

Then argies.

Those are my favourites, don't need to fear much. And if too insecure, just get 5-6 dymos following you, will kill rexes and don't get stuck on things.

[silent matrix]

No I want to make it so I can make them unconscious and tame them like a regular dino I just want to know if there is like a command or line of code that I can write in the config files to make them tamable and not force tame them using the command like on some servers where you can use the knockout way in order to tame them

[placid sundial]

mods

[silent matrix]

Bruh

Ok I guess I can't

[flint whale]

You can make your game more challenging by making all dinos aggressive and high level.

[placid sundial]

I wouldn't do high levels since that just means you get a hgiher boost over wilds when you tame them

wild dino damage and resistance mults, paired with noflyers, is fun though

[flint whale]

But they would also be attacking you :D

So more challenge to tame them too.

Try to tame something when you have dimos, pteras and parasaurs attacking you.

[silent matrix]

I've made it so the max level wild dino is 900

So it's already difficult

But it's okay though I will try to get the steam version so I can play with mods

[royal dagger]

Where is the best place to download ark on PC(Epic games launcher or something else)?

[silent matrix]

STEAM

[flint whale]

I've only used Steam.

[silent matrix]

Steam is the best

[royal dagger]

Ok znx

Tnx*

[south forge]

Definitely Steam though I tend to play it on Epic more since my friends don't have it on steam 😔

[royal dagger]

Soo did you need to buy it twice

[silent matrix]

I always love to play any game that supports mods even if it's my first time playing I won't hesitate a second to download a lot of mods like Minecraft I play with 268 mods on it and I'd love to do the same with ark but unfortunately the epic games store doesn't support modding so I will do everything I can to move onto steam

[south forge]

We all got it for free on Epic back when it was the free weekly game.

[distant grail]

Uh oh. Sometimes busted up with my ark. It won't let me load into ragnarok.

[silent matrix]

Same

[royal dagger]

Wheen was that week? So i can si if i miss it?

[silent matrix]

It was a little long ago

[royal dagger]

Oh ok

[south forge]

Think it was either June 2020 or early 2021.

[royal dagger]

But is there any way i can get a free trial or something Like that because i woud first Like to try the game so i can see on my PC Will it perform well?

[brave notch]

Algún español?

[distant grail]

Does anyone know if they'd be able to help me correct whatever is causing my ark to crash? I can send a picture of the error.

[brave notch]

Que venda el boss de gen 1 para small

[chilly rapids]

Oh thanks alot! I know this Hella late response lol

[odd geyser]

I'm really new to the game how do I load up a game can someone help me?

[azure sundial]

When you say load up a game can you specify

[worn stream]

Can ovio raptors automatically pick up eggs (this is for a kibble farm)

[distant grail]

I don't think so. I know they can steal eggs without wild dinos getting aggressive though

[barren grove]

I think gachas can but they might eat them so u will need to fill gachas with their favourite foods

[versed gale]

@placid sundial I just did a re-validation process. It did not find anything new to download...still shows yesterday's date in the files. I also do not see the fire wyvern file which also indicates there were no changes.

[placid sundial]

Unsub and resub

I forgot to reset mod guid so steam'll be even more unreliable than normal

[versed gale]

That's not how dedicated server works.

I specify the mod ID number...there is no subscription....just steam download.

[placid sundial]

yes, re-download it

Or force a client reinstall and move client files over to server

Steam's just damn unreliable with updating mods

[versed gale]

I deleted the mod files...re-running verification.

[rare marsh]

No but if they are on wander they increase the amount of unfertilized eggs I believe

[worn stream]

ye i knew that i just didnt know if they could pick up any egg near it

[barren grove]

Maewings are amazing for kibble btw

[worn stream]

my kibble farm is set up to mass produce exceptional kibble

[barren grove]

Are u using deinos?

[worn stream]

no they are for extraordinary

i use rexes

[barren grove]

Oh ye

[worn stream]

i figured since im not gonna be taming a rock golem or megalania alot im just gonna do the second best since it covers almost all creatures and its easy to make for what my current setup is built

[barren grove]

Ye

[frosty yew]

It's crossplay with Epic, the Steam version...

[versed gale]

@placid sundial it re-downloaded but still looks like the 1st version. No fire trophy nor immune artifact files.

[placid sundial]

Checking it out

[versed gale]

Does the mod need a version number so Steam knows which version to push? Wild guess...I have no idea how it works.

[placid sundial]

There's the guid which forces mod mismatch if people try join with the wrong version

steam's just shit

ive had cases where I had to unsub and resub mods half a dozen times to get it to actually download a copy

[versed gale]

is it possible that not changing the guid, the 2nd time you pushed it simply ignored it thinking it was the same...and therefore not actually in steam?

[placid sundial]

no, steam has the updated files, it's just not updating

i have the talon in my fresh download

Because steam fucking sucks

[versed gale]

ok, deleting and trying it again.

[placid sundial]

Immune is also here, I don't remember if there was a third I missed initially?

[tired socket]

anyone know how i can increase the level cap in single player from 88? i have bUseSingleplayerSettings=False, MaxDifficulty=True in Game.ini and DifficultyOffset=1.000000, OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.00000 in GameUserSettings.ini but still stuck at level 88 :/

all wild dinos seem to be fine

[versed gale]

There were only 2 files missing.

I found the steam cache folder that kept a local copy of the mod and purge it from there since I noticed it was saying it did not find a new version and was copying from the local cache.

So even though I was deleting the mod files from the server, it was just being copied from local cache and never going back to Steam to get the files.

[glad grotto]

difficulty only affects the dino spawn levels, not the player. You will need to either adjust your player level override or disable player level override entirely.

[tired socket]

strangely i re-enabled singleplayersettings and it'll allow me to level up higher than 88

[slate widget]

difficulty effects wild dino levels. to change levels you put in you need to edit them via ini. https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#PerLevelStatsMultiplier:~:text=in patch 187.0-,LevelExperienceRampOverrides,-%3D( ExperiencePointsForLevel[ found here

players and dinos use the same setting, first time is for players, second time is for dinos

[tired socket]

i'm just looking for completely vanilla official settings

i've only changed the options above + xp, taming etc

[slate widget]

your survivor is stuck at level 88?

[tired socket]

it is when i have singleplayersettings disabled

[slate widget]

thats strange

got any mods?

[tired socket]

if i re-enable it, then it will allow me to level further

nope

[slate widget]

could it just be the XP slows down?

[tired socket]

do you think the bosses will be like official but i'll just get health/damage increase from the sp settings? 😐

[slate widget]

bosses are slightly different with SP settings

[tired socket]

nope, once i enabled singleplayersettings i had 9 levels, which i've now put in

[slate widget]

DM me a picture of what the level menu looks like with SP settings off
