[fringe rover]

Babies always have 100% taming effectiveness, which gives full taming bonus

[stiff topaz]

On my part, sorry if I came across harshly. Usually, backing up is the best you can do, aside from specific cases like file corruption and preventhibernation

[river wolf]

if they didnt, your deinonychus parents melee would be a static multiple of 5

[stiff oxide]

so it's 250+(.176*250)=294%?

the parents are 284.6% and 302.2%

no wait

[fringe rover]

Can just do 250 * 1.176 to get 294% but yes

[fringe rover]

You forgot the AdditiveTamingBonus
So 257% * 1.176

[stiff oxide]

(250+(.07250))+(.176250)

and discord messed up the formatting of that

[fringe rover]

I-
What

[stiff oxide]

it turned my multiplication symbols into italics

ooh, 257*1.176 gives 302.2

[fringe rover]

Ah you have to put a space in between them

[stiff oxide]

yay ty

[river wolf]

perry now teach me how to calculate melee all over again

what do numbers mean?

[fringe rover]

Omg

[slate needle]

hey yall know how to charge charge batteries with the shinehorn?

[river wolf]

you dont, i dont think at least

[low helm]

No worries I am just sensitive from my ordeal with this whole thing yesterday! If it happens again I'll come here before messing with anything, enjoy the rest of your day/night whatever timezone you are in lol

[stiff oxide]

so for deinon it's (100 + (5 * incubator value))*1.176

[stiff topaz]

Yeah I get that, I still remember the first time I ran into corruption. i was real fucking distressed, I had a lot of time in. Fortunately I had a backup from only 4 days prior, but it still lost my all of my industrial progression so it was a crushing blow. Enjoy the rest of your day/night too! 🙂

[fringe rover]

((100 + (5 * Points/incubatorValue)) + 7) * 1.176

For most creatures this is true, but some have different multipliers so you can’t use it for everything

[gaunt garden]

hey guys i need help, does anyone know how i can join fibercraft servers? i keep searching in the unofficial serverlist and nothing shows up, does anyone know how to fix this?

[stiff oxide]

i believe your username now

[grand night]

what is a hatchery?

[stiff oxide]

a place where you hatch eggs and raise babies

a structure

[earnest prism]

Does lost island have anything different than the island?

[tropic meteor]

Yes

[earnest prism]

could you please name them or send the link for info?

[devout girder]

is it normal for a client to always see the host name and distance while the host can't see the client behind a medium-sized boulder?

[brazen robin]

lost island has all engrams and some dinos from every DLC.

most from scorched some from ab, ext, and the genesis maps.

[tropic meteor]

Amargasaurus, dinopithicus, sinomacrops, basilisk, ferox, glowtail, griffin, jerboa, jug bug, maewing, magmasaur, managarmr, mantis, megachelon, morellatops, rock elemental, snow owl, wyvern, might have missed a couple but that’s most of them

[brazen robin]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Lost_Island

forgot the sino

oh

I can't read

deathworm apparently

[tropic meteor]

[delicate shoal]

What to do when ur lvl 78 and think u hv done everything and completed ark I’m bored any tips?

[burnt flame]

Is there a point to pump any other stat than health on ovi raptors?

[brazen robin]

have you beat the bosses? played all maps? tamed a bunch of dinos :P level 78 isn't even max level

[rigid oasis]

what's safest way to steal wyvern eggs on ragnarok?

[stiff oxide]

ichthyornis-only playthrough

[delicate shoal]

I’m a mobile player

But yes I did try to tame a Rex but it just disappeared

[brazen robin]

ah :P

[native osprey]

ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile:

The ARK Mobile official Discord can be found here: discord.gg/playARKmobile

ARK Mobile players will always be welcome in this discord too!

[brazen robin]

should ask there welcome to stay here as well tho

[delicate shoal]

I rlly like it here more

But thanks

[brazen robin]

I would ask mobile specific questions there. we only have a few mobile players.

[hasty wolf]

use the bum bum rush method. place a bed and storage box near the trench. Put a spare set of armor and weapons in there to use when youre done.

Rush in the trench naked, steal the egg, and run

[tropic meteor]

Use a griffin until you get a good lightning egg

[hasty wolf]

Respawn at the bed, pick egg up, and then run

[burnt flame]

Would Ovi raptors not work on the wyvern eggs?

[hasty wolf]

They do, but theres a chance theyll get killed on the way back

another method is to pump a argy with health and set to aggressive, while theyre occupied with that, steal an egg and make your getaway

[ancient quiver]

i think if you have n oviraptor steal the egg then pick it up with argy then fly away the wyverns dont get aggro

[rigid oasis]

thanks can griffens carry oviraptors? and do the dive aswell while carrying

[burnt flame]

Speaking of ovi raptors, this question is still actual.

[ancient quiver]

yes i just looked it up

[tropic meteor]

Griffins can carry oviraptors but no they can’t dive while carrying

[subtle ore]

is there something im doing that prevents my shadowmane from using its warp strike? it charges or shows the icon for single but just wont do it

[tawny bramble]

How much cold resistance do I need to enter jotunheim?

[red olive]

A lot. If you are looking to wander around, you'll need better than prim fur, lots of fortitude, and a decent melee otter or ferox.

If you are just looking to fight the bear boss, just take wyvern milk

[stray summit]

how often do snails consume cake? I need to know for a snail farm...

talking about SP

[red olive]

Don't know the frequency they eat, but a high food snail can last a week without needing to be fed

[stray summit]

a week ingame or IRL?

[red olive]

Well, an irl week ingame lol

[teal idol]

I got a crossbow that stupidly expensive, like 6k hide 5k wood and 22k METAL! how can i reduce the costs? 😅

[red olive]

Turn down your drop quality setting lol

[teal idol]

how?

[stray summit]

a wee bit on an expensive side but doable....

[teal idol]

wdym?

[stray summit]

joking 😄 22k metal is a lot, the rest is a breeze though

speaking of it, do repair cost also scale with quality?

[teal idol]

Ok, how can i do it?

[red olive]

Is this a server or single player

[red olive]

It scales with the cost of the overall bp

[teal idol]

my crossbow is an ascendant with like 550 damage and 1k durability

[teal idol]

Its a singleplayer server

[red olive]

Okay, at the bottom of the advanced settings section there is a slider for drop quality, I really wouldn't put that over like 2.5

[stray summit]

get a therizino for hides and wood. Then it's a matter of minutes, maybe an hour for hides. The metal...depends on where's your base

[red olive]

22k metal for 550 damage and 1k dura is not at all worth it lol

I have had comp bows with 600 damage cost like 1/10th of that

[teal idol]

i see

[teal idol]

does the drop quality also increase the chances for ascendant items?

[red olive]

You might consider just tossing that BP lol

[teal idol]

whats bp?

[red olive]

At 2.0 most things will be ascendant, past 3 basically everything will be, and much past that everything is stupid expensive with very little gain on quality

[teal idol]

i see

[teal idol]

thanks

[red olive]

I mean, if you have crazy gather rates and are playing primal fear high quality loot is okay, other than that it is just more of a problem than a benefit

[teal idol]

what primal :/

[red olive]

It's a mod

[teal idol]

Sorry or asking so many questions, i just started playing last month os im curious over everything

holy hell

im sh!tting bricks out here

i just encountered a 150 giga

what do i do?!?!

[stiff oxide]

make a metal trap

[dim grove]

yo

how do you fix ark on steam if youve had the problem

[eternal locust]

All the admins and the leader to my tribe got banned and quit ark, so it's just me as a member rank and a few recruits who have access to the abb base I helped build, is there any hope of getting ownership transferred?

[lusty moth]

i need some help i just got 100 runes but it says that i’m still capped

need some help bc i just wasted hours on this dang thing

[copper tartan]

You need 200 don’t you

[lusty moth]

it said i get plus 5 max lvls

and i looked it up it said 100 gives u 5 and another 100 give us another 5

[copper tartan]

Oh idk then that’s what it says on the implant too

[dim grove]

can anyoner help me fix ark

[placid vector]

What do you need help with?

[dim grove]

well my ark doesnt wanna launch into a server i tried and tried for hours to fix it but nothing

i try and play modded for fun and i cant

game either freezes or kicks me out

[placid vector]

Honestly just sounds like ARK being ARK to me

[molten falcon]

What are basilosaurus good for

[placid vector]

Surviving jelly fish in water

[molten falcon]

That’s it?

[dim grove]

yk how to fix it bull

[placid vector]

no

[placid vector]

There a good caving creature

[stray summit]

are wild dinos affected by fall damage? as in, can I kill some by grabbing them with argy and dropping them from altitude?

[placid vector]

no

[copper tartan]

Do you have exactly 100?

[lusty moth]

no i have 110

it should be 115 now

but its noti maxxed my chibi out a while ago

then ig ot the 100 runes and it told me i have 5 more lvls

[copper tartan]

Runes?

[lusty moth]

on i was talkinmg avbout lvl i have 101 runes rn

[copper tartan]

Oh and it still hasn’t gon up?

[lusty moth]

nope

[copper tartan]

Have you tried leaving and restarting your game?

[lusty moth]

yup

[copper tartan]

Oh then I don’t know

[lusty moth]

i got it

turns outu have to kill yopurslef

thats so dumb LOL thanks for putting up with me

[copper tartan]

Bruh

Ok np

[karmic agate]

Are Shadowmanes completely invisible to enemies? Or do enemies only see the footsteps, orrr

[molten falcon]

Only footsteps

One time I went inside someone base with it

[karmic agate]

So if you stand completely still are you 100% invis?

or are there still footprints if you're standing still hmm

[molten falcon]

Yup

[hot epoch]

i have an issue where it constantly says "instaling (Mod name)" it has been like that for a couple days and i never had this issue before (single player/ non dedicated)

im tempted to just redownload the whole game tbh

[trail pasture]

Reinstall the mod

[hot epoch]

ive tried removing it from the steam properties but it still hows up as installing

[burnt flame]

Allright so it would seem my single player world froze in a state where crystal/obsidian nodes have stopped respawning, like, completely.

More than 1 week of game days passed and they are still not up again.

Additional stuff:
My resource rate is on 1.0
I did try to disable hibernation but while it made the game play smoother it's still didn't fix the resource issue.

Anyone with additional suggestions?

[white moss]

hi guys, does anyone know how to make your character disappear instead of sleep in a nitrado server?

[mystic leaf]

whats the point of upgrading melee damage on ur character

[tropic meteor]

Is that a joke?

[mystic leaf]

no

does it help w bullets or smthn

[tropic meteor]

No, it just increases melee damage

[mystic leaf]

damn

[proven ember]

Anyone how a itchynoris can hunt by itself without me having to whistle?

[red olive]

Get killed by something

[red olive]

It makes your character really op for melee lol. You can like 2 tap people to knock them out, it's more of a Bob stat

[stray summit]

okay....if I have a mating pair but want eggs for kibbles, should I just leave them together without enabling mating?

[modern drift]

Enable mating, fertilized eggs work for kibble.

[earnest prism]

which dlcs are free?

[tropic meteor]

The center, ragnarok, valguero, crystal isles, lost island, and Fjordur are all free.

[edgy shuttle]

Every time I download certain creatures it goes back to level one and can't be upgraded. Why do this happen? And how do I fix it?

[stiff topaz]

'certain creatures'? got mods? singleplayer/unofficial? how are you transfering them?

[edgy shuttle]

Obelisk and transmitter.

[stiff topaz]

Dino slots? Cryopod?

[edgy shuttle]

It have mods but Idk what kind. It's multiplayer.

[edgy shuttle]

The normal way.

[stiff topaz]

'the normal way' tells me nothing.

Dino slots or cryopod.

[edgy shuttle]

I tried using cryo before and it's turning level one,. But this turned level one too.

[edgy shuttle]

I think it's dino slots.

[stiff topaz]

It's potentially a mod breaking then, if you're aware that cryos wipe to lvl 1 and avoided them

[edgy shuttle]

I never used cryos since then that was like a year ago.

It's gotta be a dino slot.

[stiff topaz]

You're using Dino Storage?

[edgy shuttle]

Is that a mod?

[stiff topaz]

Yes

[placid vector]

Yes

[stiff topaz]

Dino slots

[edgy shuttle]

Yes. I use dino slots.

[stiff topaz]

Item slots, assume there's a dino in that trap

[edgy shuttle]

Idk what mods are there so I don't know. If there's dino storage.

[stiff topaz]

Alright, do you use dino storage

it has these balls and the gun

[edgy shuttle]

Guess not cuz Idk how to use it.

It's prolly the mod right?

[stiff topaz]

Do you use this?

[edgy shuttle]

No either.

[stiff topaz]

You don't carry your dinos in your inventory at all?

[edgy shuttle]

It's downloaded like a slot.

[stiff topaz]

Not talking about the obelisk now

Do you have soul traps on the server

Does the dino have an XP bar? Trap one of them and tell me what the Source says IF you use these on the server.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/762871715305881631/1000696674047512676/unknown.png

[edgy shuttle]

Yea not lately but I'm goin to next time.

[edgy shuttle]

Oh Idk I'm not the one who created the session.

[molten falcon]

it would be at the top of the engram list

[stiff topaz]

I need to know what it says there

[edgy shuttle]

How do I see those?

[molten falcon]

by trapping the dino in a soul trap

[stiff topaz]

Search Soul and you can find the engrams

[stiff topaz]

Trap the dino and press G if you don't have things pop on top of the item

[edgy shuttle]

Okay.

[edgy shuttle]

How? I pressed G it didn't work.

[fathom sun]

i got a prob as a bob

[stiff topaz]

Is this button light? or dark?

[edgy shuttle]

Light.

[stiff topaz]

What prob?

[stiff topaz]

Ok, so it's on. Hover over the trapped dino, and tell me what Source says

Do any of the dinos have an XP bar?

[edgy shuttle]

It should be wild?

[stiff topaz]

Wild? \

[edgy shuttle]

I have tames rn.

[stiff topaz]

Trap one of the level one tames.

and tell me what this is for one of them

[edgy shuttle]

They are tamed somehow.

[stiff topaz]

Because they are tame dinos you transferred?

[edgy shuttle]

Yes.

I can't use my PC rn, I might join later.

I hope it's okay to hold it.

[edgy shuttle]

Someone's using it.

[stiff topaz]

That's ok. @ me when you can get on and tell me the two things

[edgy shuttle]

Okay thank you.

[stiff topaz]

Does it have this, and,

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/762871715305881631/1000697826000506921/unknown.png
What this is

[forest elk]

Are you using krakens better dinos?

[stiff topaz]

Yep

[forest elk]

Then that is what it means

It just means the creature originates from KBD

[stiff topaz]

I know, I'm telling them to tell me that for their dino

Im trying to work out if they're using a modded dino.

[forest elk]

Oh sorry I thought you were asking a question

Maybe it's too early for discord...

[stiff topaz]

Np, I see how it looks like that if you didn't see the whole conversation ^^

[modern drift]

They still lay unfertilised eggs on cool down.

[wise horizon]

Is griffin worth taming?

[earnest prism]

Guys, how can i play with my friend without having to join a public server?

[edgy shuttle]

@stiff topaz Hi, I'm back, I don't understand wym by traps is it like trapping wild creatures to tame them? The lvl 1 creatures are tamed and I think I don't need to trap them cuz I can order them to just stay put.

[stiff topaz]

you put it inside the soul trap. so that you can see the source.

[edgy shuttle]

There is no soul trap in engrams.

[stiff topaz]

Does it have an XP bar?

You'll need to tell me the mod list.

[edgy shuttle]

There's none.

Oh boy Idk the mods.

How do I know the mods?

[stiff topaz]

Ask the admin

[stiff topaz]

Definitely sounds like one of the mods has broken it's dino stats

[serene delta]

my ark wont open and it keeps saying this, "attempted to load bulk data from invalid filename ark". how can i fix this? is this because i added a new mod?

[stiff topaz]

What dinos is it?

[stiff topaz]

usually corruption. try reinstall the mod (check pins, delete BOTH folders), and if that doesnt work, verify files

[edgy shuttle]

He's sleeping, I think it will take a while.

[edgy shuttle]

Maybe.

[crimson fulcrum]

Eclipse you are a saint. That is all.

[serene delta]

everything was working fine earlier until i decided to add primal fear. let me try reinstalling

[stiff topaz]

Level 1 could mean obelisk wiped its data
No XP bar and level one means the stats aren't replicating properly because the modder messed up the DCSC

[edgy shuttle]

Fire wyvern, poison wyverns, lightning wyvern and Sarcosuchus and Spinosaorus so far it could be more.

[edgy shuttle]

Okay I see.

[stiff topaz]

Hmm, lot of dinos. So probably a large scale mod. Two things to try- Do their stats work in Singleplayer? and if you cryopod and release it, does it work?
Though it would be better to use Dino Storage, I think it has some inbuilt protections against this?

[stiff topaz]

Let me know what the mod list is when you can

[edgy shuttle]

Yes I they were from singleplayers and they're fine, I can even download them on singleplayers but not in the session. But some won't be download anymore. I could try the cryo thing.

[edgy shuttle]

Okay I'll ask him what's the mod list. Thank you.

[earnest prism]

hEY

I pressed non dedicated session and made a password and everything. what do i do after? cuz nothing happens

why am i unable to join lost island servers

[mighty bane]

How do u get Meat Jerky???

[river wolf]

put oil, sparkpowder and prime/normal cooked meat in a preserving bin and it makes a piece in 33m. make sure youve got plenty oil and sparkpowder though

[earnest prism]

how do i join my friends non dedicated

[stray summit]

I tried taming a bee queen, and ran into a problem. There are multiple nests stacked on the same slot. I destroyed one, queen got out but is stuck in the others. Any way to get it out?

destroying the rest would be quite difficult, as I can't use mount out of fear of hitting the queen

[river wolf]

seems like thats because of dinowipes without using destroyall beehive_c 1
try using the latter command and doing a dinowipe, should reset all beehives so that hives arent layered and arent empty husks of hives with no queen inside

[stray summit]

I never used dinowipe...although it might have been a result of running the save on dedicated server a while to fix the non-respawning resources bug

[river wolf]

non respawning resources can be fixed by using -preventhibernation

well usually

[stray summit]

okay. So, can you talk me through it? Last time I tried messing with console, I ended up teleporting my stuck raft and myself into the hillside

[river wolf]

follow this.

sorry, i dont have a pc to even know how to do this type of stuff so i rely on people like eclipse to tell me how.

[wise horizon]

best caving creature is rock drake? considering high level

[modern drift]

If it fits it's great with glide, climb and invisibility, but it is very big.

[wheat basin]

Can you use tames in the Labyrinth cave on Rag?

[wise horizon]

also mine hits 1.2 k

[molten falcon]

Wich dinos are best to soak x plants ?

Trikes stegos and carbos ?

Begginer servers btw

[wise horizon]

Iguanadon? good for traveling and seeds but not fighting

[soft swan]

why my loadout mannequin don't have anything behind the dummy (effectively my hotbar stuff)

[edgy shuttle]

"Better 2.0 beacons" "Annunaki genesis" "Upgrade station" "Ultra stacks" are the mods, from the level one issue. @stiff topaz

[stiff topaz]

ok annunaki most definitely falls into the category of 'will edit every fucking dino' and given how incredibly outdated that is for an overhaul, it is probably just bugged

Tl;dr- probably an annunaki bug

[sullen hatch]

I'd say baryonyx or megatherium for generic caves

[edgy shuttle]

Ooooh.

[edgy shuttle]

Which ones are supposed to remove?

[polar fog]

How do you know when your officially not a bob anymore 😁

[stiff topaz]

There are mods of that genre that aren't outdated buggy messes and I would honestly say the best choice is just to not use annunaki. You'll effectively reset your progress but your game will be FAR less buggy in the long run. Primal fear is a good alternative

[polar fog]

I have a stone mansion far into NE highlands on ragnarok, have a pteranodon tamed and currently making antidotes for swamp fever

[sullen hatch]

*you're
I guess that's up to you

for me I think that when I know most things about a game

[edgy shuttle]

Okay so all we gonna remove is annunaki? Or there's more?

[polar fog]

Sweet alright thanks !

[sullen hatch]

it's not related to any bugs but in general I prefer to suggest ini for stack changes rather than a stack mod

[stiff topaz]

👍 Especially if you're using overhauls tbh because your stack mod won't work on the modded items anyway

[stiff oxide]

if a sarco grabs you, are you necessarily done for?

[stiff topaz]

And you'll potentially break some mod recipies with stack mod items

[sullen hatch]

I forgot sarcos can even grab you

that's a thing that they can do

[stiff oxide]

i was trying to get polymer in the swamp and one grabbed me off my pteranodon

[stiff topaz]

However annunaki is all that's related to the issue

[sullen hatch]

polymer in swamp? what from

[stiff oxide]

dead dinosaurs

on fjordur

[sullen hatch]

you sure that's a sarco, not a kapro?

[edgy shuttle]

Okay, do I need to do anymore than that or all I gonna do is remove the annunaki mod?

[stiff oxide]

yes

ive also been pinned by kapros

[stiff topaz]

Need? Just annunaki. Recommend? Also the stack mod

[edgy shuttle]

So two mods?

[stiff oxide]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Sarco#Grabbable_Creatures

[sullen hatch]

yeah I know you can get grabbed by a sarco too
I mean it's a sarco so you should be fine if you just pike it to death and your armour's good enough

[stiff oxide]

what about sword

someone told me not to level up my melee damage at all

[sullen hatch]

I mean you can, if you want to
I like some melee damage
but it's really not a necessity
a sword works too, they're stronger in terms of damage but also more expensive

[stiff oxide]

i found a mastercraft sword blueprint

[edgy shuttle]

@stiff topaz Thank you very much for all the help.

[stiff topaz]

Two mods, but also make your stacks with INI. You can see how in the pins in this channel. Np

[hasty wolf]

No, it just snatches you off your mount and carrys you for a few seconds

[ancient quiver]

hey does anyone know why the creatures in the chitin cave on the island arent respawning? Im on singleplayer btw and i ran through the cave once and killed all the creatures with ease, ive come back 4 times now to find no creatures but all of the drops and artifact respawned

[red olive]

Are you on console or pc?

[limber oak]

should i use a andrewsarchus to get rock drake eggs?

[red olive]

Thatll work if you have good hp and melee andrews

[vital niche]

Try doing a wild dino wipe. There may be too many creature's above the cave that prevent new stuff from spawning below

[ancient quiver]

i did that 3 min ago ig ill wait for a bit to let them respawn

[tribal quarry]

How do I build a raptor? What do I level up

[vital niche]

Health melee

Some stam some weight

[gritty current]

In The Center my Sinomacrops' dive is sometimes glitched (diving almost directly towards the ground ~ like there's some insane gravitational force). Did anyone else experience this already?

[limber oak]

oh ok, and where should i teleport to go to the rock drake nests?

[wise horizon]

Middle tp room

[red olive]

I don't know the sp zone, but it is in the asgard north west

[wise horizon]

Purple forest

[wise horizon]

Oh and its WAY MORE easier said than done

But worth it

[visual ether]

would anyone know this info - im looking for arks default max items that can be put on the platforms/rafts/motorboat/skiff/large-turtle, etc
nvm, i think i found all the info on the ark wiki 🦖

[fluid girder]

this may be hard to explain but, i want to play fjordur right. But i already have things saved and much stuff done, And the problem is i want to play one mod while ive got multiple mods on fjordur, is there a way to save everything and play on seperate character and everything restarted , then get it all back????

[red olive]

You could copy the current fjordur save files to another location

[fluid girder]

is there a tutorial to do it im kind of new so i dont understand everything

[visual ether]

you could shut down and make a backup or rename the ark saved local folder 😉 when you re-launch the server or the game it will create a whole new local save folder - so rename the old one or back it up first

[visual ether]

you will fall from the sky if you dont have enuff forward momentum/forward speed

[glacial moss]

anyone want to take me through boss fights? need engrams so i can join a good tribe

[gritty current]

I have sufficient momentum. Sometimes on the center I go straight downwards even with plenty momentum.

I don't experience this on other servers.

[visual ether]

ok could be glitch then

i can fire up my center server and test later

[gritty current]

I'm wondering if it's Ark or a bug from the unofficial server I play on.

Maybe it can be high ping related too

[visual ether]

i havnt tested on center, i shut it down to make room for fjodur map, since center dont really offer anything new/unique to the game (no new bosses/engrams/loot, etc.)

[gritty current]

I guess it's good for extra base locations and 150 wild dino's.

[visual ether]

ya i was looking at relaunching it back to the cluster because i thinnk i can run all 12 maps now with an ram upgrade

[fluid girder]

tutorial exactly how to???

[visual ether]

open steam library - right click on ark/properties//local-files/brows local files inside ark/shootergame folder is the save folder and contains localProfiles folder -- rename the folder while ark is shut down and when you relaunch it creates a brand new default local saved folder which will contain all the default configs (created after first-run) @fluid girder

`ark/shootergame/saved/config will contain all the ini's

\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved is the only folder created after download it from steam

i would make a backup of your PlayerLocalData.arkprofile it contains all of your achievment, skins, etc

(if you rename the entire SAVE folder, it gets recreated with defaults on 1st run)

[neat iron]

Let's go my first ever wyvern is now fully grown

[visual ether]

:wyvern:

[visual ether]

what kind?

[neat iron]

Fire

2000% melee 🥶

[visual ether]

nice, at x3 (event settings) they dont even need milk if you put food on them at the end just before they mature 😉

[neat iron]

I will lvl up speed and use it to steal other eggs 🤣

[neat iron]

I mean

He wanted care as first imprint

And he Automatically got 100%

[visual ether]

maewings are good 'egg steelers` lol omg they so fast

[neat iron]

I know

Never tamed them

I'm just trying actually to farm metal to make a rifle and soul gun

[visual ether]

all the crystal wyverns are passive tames if you feed them crystals and lay on the back while they fly until they need another feeding

on crystal isle map

[neat iron]

I'm living in the Greenland cliffs in fjordur it's a good base location

(in the castle)

[neat iron]

Wait what?

[visual ether]

whistle folow on a ptera to folow you and bring a few chutes or a sino in case ya fall and recover

[neat iron]

Oh

So fire are the lower grade wyverns?

[visual ether]

naked on ptera with metal pick to get crystal, jump on back of passive crystal wyverns and feed from last slot to tame and hang on for ride

fire wyvs need milk as well as poison, and lightning, etc.. crystal wyvs passive tame with crystal and eat primal crystal as baby instead of milk

[neat iron]

Oh

[visual ether]

crystal wyvs have diff type ember(fire) tropical (water) and a few others

and can breed them too

i have all black ember wyvern high lvls on pve official

[neat iron]

There is some purple light in the end of wyverns nests

What's that?

[visual ether]

?

[neat iron]

In fjordur

[visual ether]

not fully explored fjordur yet

[neat iron]

Oh

Oof

[visual ether]

i have a small spot pillard by a nice spot near a dro[p locationi wiht small base till xfers open

[violet niche]

The way to the magmasaur place

[neat iron]

Bruh alot of magmasaurs?

[violet niche]

No clue I was only there once

[neat iron]

Ok.....

[umbral wren]

what's the difference between gamma, beta and alpha rockwell, only tentacle and boss hp or is there less rounds ?

[neat iron]

What's the mod name that argy automatically farm metal while u carry it with an argy

[red olive]

Ankys by default do that now, but there is an autofarm mod

[red olive]

Higher hp, and deals more damage, that's about it

[finite fog]

i messed up sum and i need an arthur to fix it , pm me if u have one

[neat iron]

Are crystal wyvern in fjordur?

[delicate gorge]

Nope sadly

[neat iron]

So how am I supposed to teleport to a different map?

[delicate gorge]

And it is called "Solo Farm Mod" I cannot provide link cause it will get removed

[neat iron]

Ty :D

[delicate gorge]

If youre in a cluster server, you go to a obelisk or a supply beacon, open it, and there should be an option that says "travel to a different server"

[neat iron]

I'm in single player

[delicate gorge]

Then I believe you cannot do that, unless you download your survivor and upload it to the map you wanna go to

At least I THINK that is how it works

Never done it before, so I am just assuming

[undone basalt]

I don’t believe you can transfer like that on single player

[ornate lagoon]

I have a problem. I have 4 basic meks around each other in the king titan arena, I put the momi on one of them, I start the alpha king titan and try to combine and when I click C the second time, I get dismounted, the mega mek spawns for a brief second (just the collision) and immediately self-destructs. Idk what's going on I've met all the requirements, but alas it does that every single time. I'm on my own private LAN dedicated server.

[neat iron]

What's the option that change my sensitivity?

[delicate gorge]

Open options or if youre in ark server already, open settings, and just on the right there will be "Camera" and it shows your fov , shake scale, and also sensitivity options :)

[harsh vigil]

i wanna knock out this tapejara but it wont land , and its too fast for any of my flyers to chase while grappled any tips ? , at its level itll take 2 biotoxin darts if i headshot to k.o

[mint vigil]

does anyone know why ark mobile on blue stacks won't load

[visual ether]

use full guillee suit and a harpoon gun with nets

[harsh vigil]

is there a good way to make it land?

[visual ether]

eat rare flowers to get aggro

[harsh vigil]

and does that lure to me and stop it from running?

[visual ether]

ya it wants to kill you while rare flowers effect is on >:)

so net with harpoon gun as it comes for you

they dont bite too hard anyways lol

[harsh vigil]

gotcha , thanks mate , so u think i could get the flowers fly up on my argy and try and bring it to a cliff?

[visual ether]

ya that should draw agro and you could even cage it in a trap you make from stone too or whatever

you jjust need to get it close enuff so you can net it

[undone basalt]

aye how should i set up my gen for a death wall?

[harsh vigil]

thx for the help

[undone basalt]

I have tek grams but not at tek stage so i don’t have access to tek gen atm

[mint vigil]

it is just showing the ark logo

and not loading

[visual ether]

ud have to use reg genny then , and you can link those up so if one gets knocked out/runs out of gas, others will switch on

spread the gennys out in your wire grid so they have to hit multiple targets to take out whole grid?

switch others to auto-on and it will turn on if it has gas and main gen goes down

[undone basalt]

Oh i know that haha, i mean where about a should i set it up sorry, I’m pretty experienced but mainly a PvP Chad, so i’m still getting building locked down, never had to build a wall… but i’m playing solo and not too sure how to put the gen

[visual ether]

up high i like to do it then run wired down the wall to bottom as needed maybey and use double walls, foundations, etc

if its ground levle and they take out the foundation maybe geny lives if mounted high in the wall

[undone basalt]

hmm ok

[visual ether]

if you make the wall 2 deep, then you can use fence foundataions to double up walls, etc.. gives more snap points

then they have to go thru x2 more sets of walls

you want gennys to be the last place they can get to if they werer raiding

extra walls also give extra ceilings snap points so yo ucan double up on the ceilings too

also criss-cross sloped roofs in each 1x1 of the wall adds more crap they have to destroyt to get thru also add a pillar in the center too for the hell of it lol

we built one wall took over a week and lasted 3 days till penetrated once...lol the raid meta prob changed a lot with all the new stuff since i pvp last tho....

[final bay]

If im trying to knock out a wyvern solo should i use darts?

actually nevermind, if its trapped i can use crossbow maybe

[river wolf]

doesnt really matter whether you use crossbow or darts on anything. arrows are just cheaper and faster.

[last harbor]

it says im limited on incubators per "area"
how big is an AREA? foundations?

[runic thicket]

Can’t take my pt and wyverm out of ob fjordur ps4

[molten falcon]

Hello good afternoon, I have a quick question. I was trying to play on a Non Dedicated Server Sesion that I have with some mods, but my friends were unable to join. Any advise? Thanks in advance.

[slender ferry]

Did they have the mods installed?

[molten falcon]

Yeah

[slender ferry]

Were they active with no other mods active?

[molten falcon]

I dont know that, let me check

The recieve an error thats states conection lost with the host

[slender ferry]

Are you in the same update of ark?

[molten falcon]

Yeh everything is up to date.

Is there any issue if we are trying to play in different cities? Like we are kinda far away from each other.

[red olive]

Are your version numbers the same?

[harsh vigil]

um , i was going deinonychus egg hunting and as soon as i picked it up it spoiled, and when i went over to another nest the egg said 'spoils in 0:00' , anyone else seen anything like that?

[fringe rover]

Yes, they spoil but don’t get deleted
You need to do an eggwipe every few days, #unofficial-setup-help pins have eggwipe lists

[harsh vigil]

okey doke thanks

and then i just wait a bit for them to respawn right?

[fringe rover]

Yes

[harsh vigil]

okay , thanks i appreciate the help

[hardy patrol]

does anybody know why I cant connect to this one specific official server? I can connect to pretty much every other one?

[graceful osprey]

why can i join non dedicated servers sometimes?

connection failed

[grand night]

Where do the gachas in rag spawn?

[river wolf]

they dont

[brazen robin]

gachas are on ext, gen2, and fjordur

[molten falcon]

maybe it was full at the time you were trying to join

[limber oak]

how much wyvern milk does a wyvern need to raise? (im on 5x raising rates)

[idle basin]

can someone help me start game im new and need someone to explain everything to me pls

[silver flint]

Wish I could

[burnt flame]

So we have a bunch of creature's who's saddle act as a Smithy, but do we have any creatures who's saddle (or them selves) act as a mobile refinery?

[topaz fox]

Wdym by refinery?

[burnt flame]

The crafting station where you smelt metal ore into bars. I wonder if there is any "mobile option" for that beside the primitive stone and industrial versions.

[fringe rover]

You mean a forge?

Magmasaurs and phoenix can smelt stuff

[brazen robin]

magmas and phoenix both smelt ingots :P they are 4 times better than a prim forge

[fringe rover]

And 5 times worse than an industrial lol

[burnt flame]

Ah, those both sound more exotic than what you'd expect to find on the island I guess.

[brazen robin]

neither are on the island yeah

[fringe rover]

On the island your best bet is to put a forge on a platform saddle

[topaz fox]

Yeah but at least they are mobile and need no fuel

[brazen robin]

they do need food tho

thats the fuel :P

[fringe rover]

Except they need lots of food

[river wolf]

you can make a nice platform refinery on a quetz but you'd need a lot of weight

[brazen robin]

magmas can eat stone. doesn't need that much

[topaz fox]

Yeah but that’s easy just go hunt some dinos

[fringe rover]

I could argue gasoline is easier

[burnt flame]

I'm trying to excavate literally every single gatherable note from the volcano with my Argy and Anky, but I find my self doing a lot of round trips of 1200+ ore with the Argy.

[topaz fox]

Huh no 💀💀💀

[river wolf]

keep the metal in your anky if you arent already

[topaz fox]

They farm with the anky

[burnt flame]

That would be way less efficient as my Argy is nearing 2k weight while the anky can hold barely 500 for now.

[river wolf]

you can go over that 500 as long as you dont try to put more metal into it by hand. it can farm more

anky has 85% weight reduction while argy has 50%. it'd be better to haul 3k metal via anky than argy

[brazen robin]

hard to do as a solo player. need to drop it directly on the node

[burnt flame]

Wait, so I an go over the cap by an infinite amount so long I manually slap the nodes with it?

[river wolf]

easier to do when the anky is overencumbured

the cap is 300 slots but yea

[burnt flame]

Okey, that's a game changer.

[brazen robin]

you still have to carry it with the argy as well

so only 2k weight on the anky

[burnt flame]

Naturally, but that's 25% less back and forth trips already.

[river wolf]

you can hold 10,000 metal on anky with the argy holding it unless i messed up a calculation because that doesnt seem right

[burnt flame]

Now to get back to excavating literally everything from the volcano hoping that it'll unfuck my crystal/obsidian respawns.

[topaz fox]

Are you playing on servers?

[brazen robin]

if you are playing singleplayer the nodes could've gotten deleted :P

[river wolf]

i told them to preventhibernation already

[brazen robin]

doesn't help already deleted nodes

[river wolf]

but might be too late

[brazen robin]

the only fix afterwards is to run the save as a dedi

[river wolf]

yeah that was what i was thinking too

[brazen robin]

this should work.

[river wolf]

does crafting bonus on a weapon also increase the cost to repair it or is it the same as the cost to make it on the bp but halfed

[burnt flame]

Singleplayer. My research say there is a multiple years standing bug that if you exit game before a node respawns, it won't. There is a "safety" feature for them to respawn, but that's set to some exorbitant amount of time in the engine so you have to set respawn delay to 0.00001%, dump all your shit into a container, enable spectator mode, accelerate time by 50 and fly around for a few days for resources to repop.

The simpler suggested fix was gathering other resources in the area of missing stuff, so trying that first.

[brazen robin]

I feel the dedi method is just easier :P

[burnt flame]

I'm reading through that currently.

[topaz fox]

Just play online

It’s much better

[river wolf]

singleplayer is way better for learning the game compared to unofficials that you dont know

[topaz fox]

If you have got friends to play with it’s much more fun

[river wolf]

dont lie no one has friends here on ark

[brazen robin]

whats a friend

I host a private to play so I don't get singleplayer issues

[river wolf]

ive heard theyre rarer than alpha basilisks

[burnt flame]

Probably will, but I like to try new stuff solo first. Just learning stuff at my own pace without either getting griefed/boosted by older players etc...

Then once I feel like I tried everything and have a solid understanding on how everything works I'll prob try multi.

[topaz fox]

I’ve got 3 or 4

[river wolf]

i dont like constantly running servers myself.

[brazen robin]

I only run when I'm playing.

works the same as singleplayer if you do

[river wolf]

yeah i know.

nice to be able to change settings freely or use commands when hosting an sp-like server or just sp

[burnt flame]

I'm terrified of the idea of pressing esc and the game not pausing while I'm alt tabed.

[topaz fox]

I’ve played solo only once in my life, and it’s nothing compared to multi

[brazen robin]

I like hosting a server on win10, then I get ini access

[brazen robin]

that is very true lol. I died while afk 😂

[topaz fox]

My internet has got too much issues

[river wolf]

being able to use ark data via drops tho

[topaz fox]

I fell of my ptera because of my internet, I died, and my friend had to grab his and we spammed follow all during 15 min

[brazen robin]

it sucks for cluster play tho. can't transfer normally between maps

[river wolf]

why

[brazen robin]

you can't transfer at all.

[river wolf]

why

[brazen robin]

win10 forces a cluster on

[burnt flame]

That said, I have a friend who run a server hosting service, and it's compatible with Ark, so maybe I could test it with that and see how bad "no pause" truely is

[brazen robin]

can't transfer in a cluster if you can't host 2 servers at once

[river wolf]

what if you just keep your stuff in upload until the other server is online

[brazen robin]

you can't upload your survivor. dinos and items work fine.

[river wolf]

why

[brazen robin]

you can't. the button is replaced with transfer

as its stuck in cluster mode

the only method I've found to transfer in it is the ascend command that forces an upload. it ascends your survivor tho :P

[river wolf]

what if you already have the ascension

[brazen robin]

then it just uploads

you can choose any of the ascensions as well.

[stiff topaz]

i play mainly SP, though I've played plenty of mp too. what jank SP has is nothing compared to dedi

half the time on servers i wish i was in singleplayer

ping is half the issue (at about 80, it throws your armour on the ground if you unequip it too fast!). hitreg is awful. you rubberband around everything. delay on opening invs is annoying. hope you don't DC

• over water
• in front of a rex
• halfway through taming practically anything
• trying to steal an egg
• right after your babies hatch
• in a cave
  .. etc

ofc you can't pause

Gotta dash off mid thyla tame? Bad luck! happened to me this evening in fact.

Another big one for me is the lack of control., I like being able to save and revert to that point, like try a tame a few different ways if it goes wrong the first time. Still possible depending on how you host, but if it's not your pc and everyone you're playing with isn't onboard, less likely to be an option. Though that's not something everyone wants anyway, personal preference

Of course, this all assumes it's still your game. If you're not admin? You lose control of all those mods and rates and the ability to make sure the save is backed up and that you're recompensed for bugs eating dinos etc. If it's public? Suddenly you can't build half the places you'd like to, though you might run into super laggy megabases while you're trying to kite a future tame, and there's a risk of being griefed (yes, including on pve). For example, the server is either set so people can either drop wild dinos into your base, or you can't pick wild dinos up with flyers at all!

private servers where i admin are the only server I can play and the jank still frustrates me.

[latent coral]

Hey guys is there anyway to check the tribe log if your not in a tribe?

[burnt flame]

That's a big list of multiplayer potential issues, but guess it can't hurt to try, if only to see how different it is.

[burnt flame]

In multiplayer, is there any way to just directly connect to a server by IP or you are forced to wait until the "join ark" function finds it?

[delicate gorge]

Yes, through steam you are able to do that

Select ark on your steam server list, top left click "View" then click "Servers" go to "Favorites" then click "Add a server" and go ahead and input the IP :)

once you find your server, favorite it, then go to ark and refresh the server page and you will see it in your favorites tab, it is recommended to join through ark rather than steam.

[slate needle]

whats the best tame to use to beat steinbjorn?

i used all my rexes and 3 gigas and i lost 4 rexes and 2 gigas?
they were all over 30K health

[molten falcon]

use things that can bypass rock golem armour, like gigas, velonasaurs, other golems, and things that do status effects

[burnt flame]

Managed to set everything up, thank you for the idea.

[inner ruin]

The mini boss timer on fjordur does it start upon completion of mini boss or from the start of the boss fight?

[burnt flame]

If I want to move my single player save and mirror my single player game settings to a dedicated server, can I safely just overwrite the server's own GameUserSettings.ini with what I use for singleplayer?

[molten falcon]

what boss are you refering to?

[inner ruin]

Beyla and the other mini bosses, the ones that require runestones

[molten falcon]

the fight itself doesnt have a timer as far as i know

but after you kill her you do have a certain amount of time to get all of her drops but its long enough that you dont have to worry about it

[stiff topaz]

yeah they read the config files (you want Game.ini too) the same

[burnt flame]

Good catch, gonna move that too.

[latent coral]

So no way to find out who is killing you over and over?

[shell rapids]

Can someone fix the spawn map i don't know who owns the wiki page, but Gigas do spawn , maewings also spawn in the top right a lot of things i feel are missing.

[burnt flame]

Holy shit. I literally just started up the server without even touching resource settings, I flew to the volcano and it's blanketed in all those resources it were not respawning. Ty so much for the dedicated server suggestion.

[brazen robin]

yeah, easy fix for the resources

[stiff topaz]

Preventing hibernation fixed it for me, never loaded my sp in dedi

[tropic meteor]

Which wiki are you using? The fandom wiki won’t be updated anymore, the updated wiki is at ark.wiki.gg

[brazen robin]

preventing hibernation doesn't fix it once the nodes are gone

[frail patrol]

i feel like you're not using the official wiki: https://ark.wiki.gg

[stiff topaz]

fixed it for me.

no resources for over a year in the volcano. prevented hibernation and suddenly everything's back.

my singleplayer has never gone near dedicated.

[brazen robin]

doesn't seem to work for most people

dedi always works

[stiff topaz]

never said it didnt.

[brazen robin]

wonder if there are multiple bugs related to when resources stop spawning on SP

kinda sucks that neither fixes work on consoles :P consoles can only hope.

[stiff topaz]

Yep :/

[brazen robin]

I guess as a last resort they can move their entire base and reset the save kinda extreme tho

[burnt flame]

With 25ping the UI lag is not even experienceable. The only thing I miss is no pause.

[undone basalt]

Im tryna trade a rex for metal, it’s got 37,830K HP, 1137% melee, obv hella mutations on both sides… roughly how much metal is a good price for it

I have a ss of it if anyone needs to see, But i need an answer

[alpine hull]

Can anyone explain to me what is Anti-meshing?

I got raided by some dude and a couple of my building were destroyed by Anti-meshing

I have no idea what is that

[undone basalt]

Or about how many heavies it would be worth

[vale gorge]

We can't really answer that as we would have to know the metal economy that you are using

[undone basalt]

Wdym

[vale gorge]

A person that doesn't know what a dollar is can't tell the price of bread in the US

You would have to ask people in your server

[undone basalt]

If i was trading you that rex how much metal would you be willing to pay for it

i’ll send a ss to you

[vale gorge]

I have no idea as I have no sense of the economy

[hasty wolf]

why are you that desperate for metal my guy

If you have a rex that good then you definatley have a anky

[weak tree]

abb server 729 has been down for over 20 hrs now. wildcard usually take this long to fix problems like this?

[molten falcon]

yes

[weak tree]

figures. i lost 5 megalosaurs, my rock drake, and im no longer in a tribe on that char when the rollback happened after it crashed the first time. managed to get back to my home server though

they are def ready for ark 2. no game breaking bugs unsquashed...lmao

[tropic meteor]

One of the reason they are moving on is because of how many bugs the game has, there’s no feasible way to fix them all without creating more.

[red olive]

This!! Sometimes as a developer it is a lot easier and more cost effective to just rewrite the whole thing than to try and fix it lol

[fringe rover]

^ and rewriting ark1 would barely get them any money, which is needed to maintain a studio. A new game would be interesting, more optimized and would get them more revenue

[unborn valve]

Do enforcers spawn on gen 2 official

[fringe rover]

Yes

[unborn valve]

Are they like rare or something

[median gulch]

Not a problem but a question, if I put a c4 on a Dino and the turret kills it is it the turret that set of the c4 or the Dino dying and also does the c4 just get destroyed or does it actually go off

[tropic meteor]

Yeah, but they do have a chance to spawn

[unborn valve]

How rare on a scale of 1-100 100 being the most rare

[tropic meteor]

75

[unborn valve]

Oh Jesus

[tropic meteor]

Just kill other things in the area and it’ll spawn eventually

[unborn valve]

Thanks man I’ll do that

[fringe rover]

@drifting hull #800537627752398899 #800537518843756544

[molten falcon]

yeah, not the place to put that

[delicate gorge]

Does anyone know a mod that shows where item caches are? im not looking for my dead body.. im looking for my storage box item cache

long story short, i was on a raft and had storages on it and a carno came in and destroyed it as i was sailing away, and now it is lost at sea, anything would help :)

[waxen tulip]

what map and well place would be best for taming dung beetles? like i have one rn but its level like 20 something and cant hold much poop

[brazen robin]

crystals is pretty easy. they aren't in a cave. scorched has some over leveled ones in a cave I think.

[slender ferry]

There’s a cave on Fjordur that has only dung beetles

[brazen robin]

didn't know that. where :P

[waxen tulip]

do the levels vary? or all low level or?

[brazen robin]

free maps have better spread but its all RNG

[slender ferry]

20-150 on official so random

[slender ferry]

Teleport to Vanaland-East-E then go down the map till you reach a very small island from that island go up tords the redwoods and near the top there’s a small cave with dung Beatles inside

Does that help?

[brazen robin]

should do

[waxen tulip]

absolutely

[lavish viper]

I tame mine at helms deep

[slender ferry]

No clue where that is

[lavish viper]

I forgot cords sorry

[slender ferry]

What map is it even on?

[lavish viper]

But it is in same valley as artifact of the clever

[lavish viper]

Fjordur

[slender ferry]

Hmm ok

[lavish viper]

Not most effective run but I use it for arthros

[odd elm]

Is this enough for gamma king titan:
-62 Gigas, evenly male/female, 35k hp, 500% melee, prim saddles
-Mek, 39k hp, 490% melee, 180% rocket pods

or should i get more gigas

[lavish viper]

No just get better saddle

[odd elm]

I only have primitive and a super expensive ascendant bp

It would take a long time to get the items for the ascendant saddles

[lavish viper]

Ok if you are good enough at not being dead yeah

I think It will work

[hollow spear]

Taming a fjordhawk, it shows the bags on the floor with an icon when ur close

As for mods, something along the lines of death recovery mod or corpse collector

[crimson fulcrum]

F

[hollow spear]

F for the raft?

[crimson fulcrum]

Yeah, they're probably not getting that stuff back. Lol

[hollow spear]

Yeah lost to the despawn abyss....

[crimson fulcrum]

Does the hawk even show item caches for structures?

[hollow spear]

Yeah as long as it's a bag on the ground it shows up with a skull and crossbones icon

[crimson fulcrum]

Inner resting.

[hollow spear]

XP

[stray summit]

Can thylaco climb walls and dino gates?

[hollow spear]

Walls definitely, gates can't remember but probably

It can be pretty glitchy and sometimes u get antimeshed so do be careful ^^

[shadow jetty]

Yea gates only on the “frame” like not the actual moving part of a gate
Like the gateway
Iirc

[tulip bane]

What is adequete starting stats for wyvern breeding, like how much points in melee should i aim to get from an egg before i start the breeding process

[stray summit]

alright. So the trap gotta be built on foundation with ceiling overhanging all the way

[shadow jetty]

45-50 generally

[tulip bane]

damn, you can get 45-50 on wyverns? the most i've seen is 36 and its on an oxygen stat

[hollow spear]

Typically people go for at least 40 in s stat before going for a clean line although as long as it's even can go with anything tbh

Just less effort like that

[shadow jetty]

With a max level of 150 (or actually 190 then for wyverns, if the rest is 150 max / difficulty 5) you will get 45ish points for any dino typically faster than mutating for it, especially if it’s something rather long maturing and “annoying” (because no meat or berries as babies) as wyverns

[tulip bane]

Ik 40-50 is good for regular tames but wyverns aree capped at 190 that's y

[hollow spear]

Me neither but you technically could just ur luck

[shadow jetty]

My highest point roll in any stat was 53 points so far, on an official server on a perfect tame 150 wild.
But everything over 48ish is highly unlikely and will get worse and worse in terms of chance.
I would settle for like 45+ pts personally, maybe even more for wyverns as you can clean out the trench rather quickly normally and check for good base stats like this
With the 190 max level I’d even go for 48/50 or so min levels maybe

[tulip bane]

Thanks, I'm on fjordur trying to get lightning wyverns but there's only like 2-3 eggs everytime I check the trench so it's taking a while to get good level eggs

[shadow jetty]

Oh yea, fjordur is still not fully fixed in terms of spawns.
But getting a lot of females and then the luck of mutating a certain stat is a lot of work, wiki has exact numbers, but you will look at sth below or around a 1% chance of a certain stat mutation happening, so you need a lot of breeding for just a single mutation

[tulip bane]

im on SP so i have boosted rates, i've actually mutated a 20/20 tek rex already and stuff so i don't have trouble with the breeding part. The struggle is finding the initial creatures to breed with.

[shadow jetty]

Hm for SP it could be wildly different, like the main part on official is the maturing time holding you back.
You will need about/at least 400 or so clean breeder females to get a statistically guaranteed mutation per mating cycle eventually, so it all comes down to your maturation and cooldown timers I guess
(I got the exact numbers and math for the probability on my PC a while ago, but can’t boot it up rn)

[hollow spear]

Yeah the insanity on official is part of the fun of this game :D

Ppl are really missing out with all the mods and boosted servers

[tulip bane]

wait 400? the chances of mutation are like 7% so i thought you'd only need like 30-40 females

[hollow spear]

Much lower than that especially after 20 stacks

[shadow jetty]

Yea that’s for any mutation, but you have 7 stats it could roll into, plus once you focus on a single stat to mutate, cut that by another 50% as only the paternal side will mutate/ have the already mutated stat to further mutate on

[hollow spear]

Also the % is applied on each dino not the whole squad so in reality even with 1milion giga you could get unlucky and not get any

[shadow jetty]

So you look at sth like less or abt 0.5%

[shadow jetty]

That as well, it’s RNG in the end and not statistically determined (overall)
-more or less, like not guaranteed to have a 7% chance of any mutation happening-

[tulip bane]

i use mods so my breeding process is sort of semi-automated, idk the actual struggles of breeding on official

[hollow spear]

Not too bad as long as you know what ur doing+ have space + have a good setup

[stoic saddle]

Our of morbid curiosity and definitely absolutely nothing more, mhm- how does one get dinos, like for instance a couple of megalania, unstuck from being trapped in cave terrain absent of owning a saddle.

[hollow spear]

Cryopod it

[final bay]

I just got a alpha dragon wall trophy, if i put it on my wall can i take it back down? is it one use only?

[kind ridge]

Yo, all im new to the game do u got any tips how to start good
on pvp servers ?

[keen hatch]

Can you tame other players their Dino’s?

[brazen robin]

unclaimed dinos yes. unclaimed babies yes. claimed tamed ones no

[scenic burrow]

As soon as possible try heading inland if you can, beaches are often already occupied by geared players or worse, geared and raptor mounted players. Your best bet is inland and try use the wild aggresive dinos to your advantage, mounted dinos are smarter since they controlled by player. If you find some sort of hidden alcove use that as stash ground, place boxes locked with passwords so you don't got looted while you're out farming

[hollow spear]

Yes can reuse it, the wall mount have to demolish but can unequip the trophy

[hollow spear]

Watch holly smalltribes video I would recommend

[stiff oxide]

anyone know what this symbol means? #fanart-and-screenshots

[brazen robin]

slot capped

[kind ridge]

Thanks guys !

[stiff oxide]

look up the seeshell gaming video on mutations, it shows an example of this

ya

[placid vector]

That's definitely the best video

[autumn solstice]

PS4 issues again. Keep getting an error code that crashes the game. Any suggestions that doesn't involve redownloading it after sacrificing my first born?

[stiff oxide]

the ‘mutations for dummies’ one sucks

[placid vector]

Yes

[limpid seal]

Is it possible to start my own server/ world where I'll just be playing by myself

[glacial moss]

if i went to a server and now its not showing did i just lose my character?

[limpid seal]

Been thinking because then not only could I happily build a base in the better spots of maps but also take my time with things without worrying about my animals starving when I'm offline

[autumn solstice]

Local play in single player would be your best bet, you can pause the game and time doesn't move when your not on the game

[limpid seal]

Yeah I'm thinking of playing my own server solo on the island and I wonder if my dinos starve when I'm offline

Because I'd want to play local so that I dont have to claim areas and not have to cryopod dinos everytime I go off on holiday

[autumn solstice]

If its on a server that you bought, you can change its activeness from the server settings and turn it off when you dont want to be on

[limpid seal]

Aka I dont want to have to maintain my base and dinos daily when I dont feel like playing the game

I havent bought anything but just the game and its dlcs

I'm planning to play single player, and on that will I have to maintain my animals or am I free to go away for a while and still have my base there when I come back

[autumn solstice]

Since you can pause the game in single player logging off pauses it as well

[limpid seal]

So my animals wont be starving and my base wont decay when I'm not playing

[tropic meteor]

Correct

[autumn solstice]

No they will not starve, but dont forget to turn on auto save, single player can be a bit buggy on ark

[placid vector]

So can every other thing in the game

[limpid seal]

Lmao

Yeah I think I'm going to give up on official online because now I can build anywhere I want my base, traps etc and take allll the time I want without having to cryopod my tames each time I'll be gone for a while

[molten falcon]

ay anyone know why we cant transfer off of gen 2 smalls

[limpid seal]

I'm going to start playing single player now tysm

[autumn solstice]

I play on local for xbox and server for ps4, if you dc in single you dead af. Dc in a server you wake up on the ground with your flyer landing

Np hunter

Ight PLAYSTATION GODS
Network Functions for this game are unavailable waht!?

[still rover]

Guys Idk how to fix this i have ark on my xbox but now i have a playstation 5 is there away to move it

You will need to buy ark for the playstation

Also I cant see myself on the map

[novel snow]

[warm dock]

how come when i try to play the island with mods it just freezes on the mods screen

[plain stag]

Depending on the mods and your pc, it could take time for it to load.

[tough marsh]

so when using a skiff why does the magmasaur just pop on top of the skiff when i use the beam ?

[umbral wren]

do you earn more xp for the chibi if i kill the alphas myself?

(without ridding a dino)

[ancient quiver]

just grind metal with an anky and use a industrial forge

[split dirge]

Depends on map - Stryder + Dedicated storagebox.
Second-best way is to get a Magmasaur and a metal-filled spot

• Industrial Forge to both ^

[polar sandal]

is there any way to log item withdraws or transfers from containers ?

[last harbor]

[umbral wren]

gen2 farming with hands

[simple trench]

Hay is anyone doing the king titan if so can I tag along? the person I was meant to do the fight with ended up taking all the tames and destroyed the base

[umbral wren]

and then tp to your forges with bed

[true perch]

Im trying to join a server, for some reason. Every time I try joining it says "make sure your mods are up to date" or something like that. Even though they are all updated.

[undone basalt]

Leveling my mana, what stats should i look for,

or what should pump everything to i should say

[true perch]

Thats not a problem, its just a question :/

But health i'd say

Health is always useful for any creature

[umbral wren]

reinstall mods?

[true perch]

Already tried that yesterday

but its weird because the owner has no problem with joining

[brazen robin]

did you do a full reinstall?

see pins :P

[true perch]

Yep

went to the list, unsubscribed from all

Then subscribed to all again

And then lets them actually download

[brazen robin]

thats not a full reinstall. you need to delete the files. see pins

[true perch]

O

Well, lemme get to that

do i do every mod just to be sure?

[brazen robin]

I would do all of them

[true perch]

Wait, how do I do it. I'm reading it and It makes no sense at all to me.

[brazen robin]

which part

you are deleting the mod folders, don't delete the free DLCs they are also in the folder :P

[true perch]

Yeah, idk how to get to the folder

[brazen robin]

right click on ark on steam, manage, local files

\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Content\Mods
thats one of the mod folders
\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\346110\
thats the other one, its outside of the ark folder

[true perch]

I don't see that, I right clicked on ark, didn't see steam, same with steam, didn't see manage.

[brazen robin]

right click ark, properties, local files, browse

[true perch]

I dont see local files

[brazen robin]

do you have ark installed?

[true perch]

es

I see general, web document, security, details, previous version

thats all

[brazen robin]

right click ark on steam

in the library

not its shortcut/exe

here

[true perch]

Okay

Im there

[brazen robin]

now go to these folders and delete the numbered folders

[true perch]

holy shit

why is there 130

some are videos, others are folders

[brazen robin]

in the mod folder?

[true perch]

Yep

Ok, lemme delete the mods

[brazen robin]

the .mod aren't videos they are mod files delete all of them.

these (I don't have all installed) are the free maps :P

[true perch]

ok

So, im concerened

it says 63, when I dont think i ever installed 63 mods

And it also says like 24GB when I dont think the mods were that big, yeah they were big ass mods. But i dont think that big

Well, ill press delete and if anything happens, oh well. Reinstall ark.

[brazen robin]

got any free DLCs installed?

that would make the folder bigger, if you mean the mods themselves 🤷

[true perch]

4, but I didnt highlight those

Well the mods were big]

Were talking stuff that added LOADS of stuff

Like the collection, pugnacia, those type of mods

i had alot of those

so that may be why

Well, ill press delete. If anything goes wrong ill just reinstall ark/the thing that was deleted

[karmic spire]

Yo guys how do you yeet a sinomacrops off your shoulders?

[true perch]

So, some people say R, for me it was actually F

[brazen robin]

spam F

[true perch]

which i found odd but when I pressed F it worked

[karmic spire]

kk t hx

[true perch]

Okay, so i deleted them from there

Now what do I do?

[brazen robin]

delete from the workshop folder (click steamapps in the to go back)

[true perch]

So i delted 346100

or whatever the hell it was

Do i leave 4000, 241100, and 1118200 alone?

[brazen robin]

yeah

[true perch]

k

[brazen robin]

were supposed to delete the folders in 346100 :P but should be fine

[true perch]

o

[brazen robin]

now resub to the mods

[karmic spire]

btw, how do you change gliding mode?

pls

[brazen robin]

sino?

[karmic spire]

ye

and can a sino hold artefacts??

[brazen robin]

hmm. wiki doesn't have PC controls

[karmic spire]

like multiple

[brazen robin]

no, only the otter can

[karmic spire]

rip

[true perch]

Actually, question for yall here. Favorite shoulder pet?

[brazen robin]

depends.

[karmic spire]

Sino

xD

[true perch]

My opinion, the otter. its so cute, cmon.

[brazen robin]

sino, otter, and light pets

can't choose between them

[true perch]

i thought it was syno, was my life a lie this whole time?

[brazen robin]

its Sinomacrops

[true perch]

huh...

Guess i was wrong

But idk why, as soon as i get on my fjordur server

Im taming a pack of direwolves (20)

[karmic spire]

does speed stat has an effect on the sino? @brazen robin

[brazen robin]

no idea.

[karmic spire]

kk

[molten falcon]

r is while you're mounted

[red olive]

Not while you are using it, I don't know if it works normally as it's a flier

[true perch]

O

[pine token]

How long does it take for scanning (via s+ transmitter and Omni tool scanner) to become viable? It's been an hour or so and I'm still seeing lots of ?s in dino entries.

[inner quail]

what should i do when im trying to join a friend it keeps saying timeout/ connection lost to host what should i do ??

[true perch]

It wont let me join a fjordur server, everytime I try I just crash. Anyone know how to fix this?

[pine token]

I would try to rule out mods first. Then if you are still crashing, either just blindly reinstall ARK or start writing down error messages (either ones that appear or ones you find in logs) and share them here.

[molten falcon]

should also try verifying files before a reinstall

[fast topaz]

is a 391.6 shot gun or a 213.7 pump shot gun better?

[split dirge]

Pump

[wise horizon]

best mech module?

[hasty wolf]

sooooo a pegomastix stole my survivor implant

what do I do

[stray summit]

maybe then when you die, it's permanent release from the surivior's hell

[brazen robin]

that would be really sad 😂

[glad flame]

Wait that’s possible?

[glad flame]

It’s just personal preference at that point

I would use the 213 pump because I prefer ammo

[brazen robin]

doesn't do anything. the implant ingame is just for appearance shows what your max level is a survivor ID I believe.

[glad flame]

I assumed it was there and could never be removed

Apparently I was wrong

[brazen robin]

its a glitch but it also switches for another thing when you beat king titan

[karmic spire]

How do you get dinos skins??

[shell rapids]

I like how no one in Google specified that u can hatch deinonychus eggs anywhere u just have to sit on them ACS don't matter i built 16 and still says too cold

[dawn mist]

Hello I have a problem: this morning while trying to save myself on my ark solo game a crash message is displayed (I will surely attach it below) I move my save to my desktop and I manage to start a game solo but it's not the same (logic) then I put my save back and the message comes back so after years of studying at Polytechnique I can deduce that the problem comes from the save do you have a solution to fix this problem

sorry for the spelling mistakes i translate with google

Mp me if you whant the screenshots

[dire ridge]

Ark was working fine just last night, and outa no where just now it's telling me that it needs directx11 version 10? Do heck

Nvm fixed itself with a system reboot

[grand night]

What is the difference between royal griffin and griffin?

[brazen robin]

royal griffins are mobile only and have a very strange taming method

[dire ridge]

Aren't they also tameable

Breedable*

[molten falcon]

yes

you can breed them with others that have the same surname (or something like that)

[orchid snow]

I keep getting dced while playing with friends. He’s literally right next to me and it’s not a network issue any help?

Love the game just extremely annoying getting dced randomly

[hasty wolf]

When a pego steals something, it targets food. Not usually a big deal. Unless you get swarmed. In that case, once all the food has been stolen, it picks a random item from the inventory

I just got super unlucky

[glad flame]

Pegomastax 💀

What’s that one bird that steals like the pego

[untold crow]

Ichy

[glad flame]

Tyty

[untold crow]

no worries

anyhow, I just had something interesting happen. I'm playing the game, then Steam logged me out whilst doing so with an error report that reads "Looks like you haven't purchased this game yet" So I log back into Steam, and then it throws an other error saying that my save data has been lost. 55 hours on Fjordur and I have to start all over again 😠

In any case... Rant over... But yeah has anyone else had this happen to them? As it's really annoying 😠

[orchid snow]

The game devs definitely didn’t make it user friendly to play lol

[untold crow]

nope

[orchid snow]

All I wanna do is just play the basics of the damn game with my room mates without being kicked out every 5 mins. Like wtf, and it gives no error code. Just boots me

[untold crow]

ikr?

anyhow I was thinking of doing a reset anyhow so...

I guess it wasn't that much of a loss

[wispy ether]

How does the baby boon buff work? I left my baby gigas out for 6 hours and it progressed by around 8%, which is basically the same percentage it would be without the buff

[wispy ether]

I have to note that it took 6 hours for 8% because maturation speed is set to 3x.

[molten falcon]

Hi, I randomly keep crashing without any error message; it freezes entirely graphically seemingly at random, and I need to wait another 15 minutes to connect to my friends server. Has anyone experienced anything like this before, and is there someone I can grab a console so I see what's going on?

One thing I will say is that when I rejoin, it usually says "There is already a player with this account connected!" requiring me to be kicked, despite me already being out.

I get that normally I should put a ticket in, but... I dunno what to say. Crashing randomly without an error message is extremely vague.

[hollow spear]

Try verify files might help

[molten falcon]

Already did it

[hollow spear]

Yeah when game crash it doesn't log you out so just have to wait for game to kick you

[molten falcon]

Ooooh.

[hollow spear]

What I do that seems to work is try joining like 5 times of error then restart the game seems to kick me

[hollow spear]

Uff it's a bigger problem then I'm not that technical sorry
