[sudden night]

for the "tame everything on the island" achievement, do all the tames have to be alive at the same time or do things I tamed in the past but died also count?

[molten falcon]

aka the most inhospitable biome on the map

[copper loom]

where can i get crystal?

[molten falcon]

pretty sure they can be dead

[proven badge]

i think just tame everything at least once

[molten falcon]

mountains

[proven badge]

at the peak of mountains

[copper loom]

besides mountains

[stiff oxide]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Resource_Map/The_Island

[proven badge]

idk

basically all of the island crystals are in caves or on mountains so

the only exception is the snow but its the snow so u cant really live there

[copper loom]

hm the nearest crystal is where the raptors are

[proven badge]

get xp

[copper loom]

ok

[proven badge]

then get a bunch of bolas

[stiff oxide]

get to lvl 9 and learn bola

[proven badge]

or just bait them away by feeding them your own body

[copper loom]

e

[stiff oxide]

why do you need crystal at lvl 3

[copper loom]

spyglass

[proven badge]

spyglass is not very useful until later o

[stiff oxide]

you can’t even tame or kill anything yet

build yourself a little hut first

[copper loom]

punch 1000 trees
in progress

[proven badge]

you can just punch dodos

or craft random things as well

[tulip arch]

@burnt flame welp thanks for trying to help me, guess I'll transfer to different maps for levels above 120

[burnt flame]

Sorry that I couldn't help, it's weird that your game just simply seem to ignore config settings.

[tulip arch]

although I do have use single player settings checked I could try unchecking that as a last try

[burnt flame]

I run my game with single player settings on, so I doubt that will be it.

[tulip arch]

oof

oh well

[sudden night]

its almost 3 am but I finally finished my new breeding area, I can finally go for mutations in a setup that isn't a complete mess

[timid light]

anyone wanna start a tribe

[brazen robin]

#735196255483068497

[lofty tapir]

how do i explain to my friend why getting 1000 weight per level ruins the fun

[copper loom]

troodon still spinning

[plush parrot]

Not really an issue, but do bears spawn much higher than 150 in the honey caves on fjordur? I got lvl 200's and i should be playing with pretty close to official settings.

[hollow quartz]

yes

same with the insects etc

[plush parrot]

Okay... do you know the max level in the honey cave? I'd like to try to tame one.

[hollow quartz]

up to level 500 on offi, but I'm not sure if you can tame them in there

the way you check is look at it with a magnifying glass

if it shows torpor and health, it's tameable
if it just shows health, it's not

[plush parrot]

okay ill give it a try haha. Thank you

[plush parrot]

I guess they are untamable. 0/13k torpor

[hollow quartz]

nonono that means it's tameable

because 0 torpor = awake

13k torpor = asleep

let me know after you knock if i'm baiting you and it's different now

but that's how it was two months ago

[plush parrot]

Yes, so if it's knocked out on the ground and says 0/13k torpor, i assume that means I can't tame it.

[hollow quartz]

oH yeah i'd assume so

i thought you were magnifying glassing one that wasn't knocked

[plush parrot]

No, the knocked out one. I could try to narco it but i doubt it'd go up lol. Be op to tame lvl 500 bears

[hollow quartz]

you used to be able to tame high level dinos like that on fjordur release

i dont know if bears worked

i'm pretty sure anglers and direwolves did though

and it was actually the easiest way to tame an angler on the map

you'd go to the Frozen Fortress ice cave and knock a level 300 one out in the water

and you'd get a level 450 (max level) post tame

[plush parrot]

hm.. ill test it a little more here in a second when i get back to base, i grabbed a 285 achantina from th ecave

also odd... i can fly my argy right into the cave

[hollow quartz]

then you'd breed it with a lower level one until you got one with the high level's health/damage/weight and the low level's food/movespeed

[hollow quartz]

that do be odd

[copper loom]

is the whip available on the map the island?

[hollow quartz]

because the alternative was taming one in the ocean, and the ocean is vicious on fjordur

[hollow quartz]

no, you can't learn the engram on island and even if you learn it from another map you can't get the silk required to craft it

you can craft a bunch of them on another map and then port them to the island though if you really need them

alternately if you're on a server where you have admin access or singleplayer you can use the command cheat gfi weaponwhip 1 0 0 to cheat one in

[copper loom]

ok thank you. but which map is the whip on?

[hollow quartz]

scorched earth, ragnarok, valguero, crystal isles, genesis: part 2, lost island and (i think?) fjordur

[copper loom]

thank you

[hollow quartz]

the dlc engram category is scorched earth

[copper loom]

i dont have scorched earth

[hollow quartz]

you dont need to own scorched earth

ragnarok, valguero, crystal isles, lost island and fjordur are all free dlcs

[copper loom]

oh i thought they were in a dlc bundle

[hollow quartz]

only two dlc bundles are scorched+ab+ext and gen1+gen2

the rest are free individual downloads

they (dlc maps) do take up a lot of space though so if you're just doing it because you need a whip to pick up items / move dinos around base your best bet is probably to just cheat one in (optionally despawning the non-silk requirements so you don't feel like you cheated)

you literally craft them with wood fiber hide and silk (which you get from the equivalent of a berry bush) so
not enough to worry about imo

[copper loom]

ok

[bold bison]

My newborn babies have an icon that kind looks like 2 fists, and they got some imprint on their own, how is this happending? O.o

[plain stag]

Are you using the s+ nanny?

[plush parrot]

I don't know how to explain the flying in the cave, cause pretty sure, unless the game changed my settings, i have flying in caves disabled. I also could not tame that achatina i brought home from the cave

[bold bison]

No

[plain stag]

Any mods at all?

[bold bison]

They are breeding, and being collected by a soul terminal. ( dino storage mod )

[plain stag]

DSv2 has configs for that. Would explain it.

[copper loom]

Is there any way i can increase the rate metal smelts in a refining forge?

[plush parrot]

Is there something I can put into DSv2 to get automation to work in non ded servers? Couldn't seem to add the right bit of code ig

[hasty wolf]

through the ark settings, or you can use the cheat slomo command

[hollow quartz]

mind that uses slomo will increase the rate of everything (it's the equivalent of a fastforward on your ark world), and i've heard that increasing it beyond certain speeds may result in weird consequences

[prisma plaza]

Anyone know if code from simple spawners can be use in config files for console servers?

Not like transferring the mod, just taking the code it uses to spawn dinos in the areas.

If it shows the code. Haven't used it yet. Feels a bit too much like using admin codes for my taste while playing single player.

[stiff oxide]

it means you imprinted it

[stiff topaz]

Lol np, at least it's a straightfoward fix

Only dedicated uses server, Nonded is more like SP

Np!

[proven badge]

how do you make sinomacrops eat corpses while on your back?

they've done it before but it's been really inconsistent

[cinder nacelle]

i want to make it to where i can see the survivors notes/ dossiers animation when i pick them up. not working atm. little help?

[stiff topaz]

Aggressive/attack target stance probably

[proven badge]

that makes sense

how do you make re-fertilizer

nvm

[rigid drift]

guys im very confused on how to make a server with my brother we recently got Ark Survival Evolved and were trying to play with each other im on epic games hes on steam can anyone help me?

[slender ferry]

To do a full server you need to have another device running with the server on it or buy one from people who’ll do the same thing for you and if you just wanna play with them use a non-dedicated server

[rigid drift]

i want to play with him when we both are online

so is that a non-dedicated?

[stable cloak]

if you put meat on a maewing's inventory and put a baby wyvern in the feeding basket, would the wyvern eat the meat?

[molten falcon]

No, due to the fact they only drink wyvern milk, i believe

[stable cloak]

alright, I put a poison wyvern in a maewing and put some milk but the wyvern is not drinking the milk?

its been 30 mins since I put the milk in the maewing

[stiff topaz]

Not true for steam. They can host off the same pc they play on @rigid drift

[slender ferry]

They can

[molten falcon]

Oh yeah, was wyvern milk only for imprinting?

[slender ferry]

No

[molten falcon]

D:

[rigid drift]

oh okay thanks

[stiff topaz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1dcWkSzGd4 you can skip the second half- you don’t need to worry about clustering

[slender ferry]

Maewings can feed any baby just you need milk or primal crystal for wyvern

[stiff topaz]

Key thing you need is to enable crossplay

[slender ferry]

Yes but you still need milk or primal

[slender ferry]

What’s the level of the wyvern

[slender ferry]

Good to know

[hollow quartz]

it's important to note that items that have a longer cooldown on eating (blood packs) share the same cooldown for all stalkers attached to + all stacks of blood packs in the maewing, so it's better to keep them inside the stalkers (or raise only one or two stalkers per maewing)

[stable cloak]

110

[slender ferry]

It probably haven’t lost enough food yet

They get like 500 or 1000 food or something like that per milk and won’t eat it until they’ve lost more then that number

[noble parcel]

How many hours you need in the game to not be a bob

i have like 180+

[hollow quartz]

depends on who you have teaching you

if you have people who know what they're doing and who are genuinely willing to teach, I'd say <500

otherwise I've met bobs with >3k

[noble parcel]

I play singleplayer

[hollow quartz]

you will always be a bob from PvP player's perspective, and that's ok

[noble parcel]

idc for pvp because i kinda have a life

[hollow quartz]

good

but i don't understand why you're asking then lol

[molten falcon]

"Hey, when am i not a bob anymore"
"Something over 500 hours"
"Meh, i dont think i am a bob anymore, so i dont care"

[stable cloak]

whats a bob? lmao

[molten falcon]

Me

[hollow quartz]

bob is ark slang for 'noob'

[molten falcon]

but the thing is with ark, some of my fellow bobs think they understand the game so well, and that there is nothing or few to learn anymore.

While in reality we know nothing to little about the game

:D

[blissful pagoda]

very frustated. Some of my gachas just don't want to produce any crystals. They're happy, mated, fed. I switch one out with another and it'll will produce just fine. So the location and food is not the problem. I don't get it.

[sudden night]

any suggestions for carrying metal back and forth to my base ( I live very far away from metal nodes which was a bad mistake I made)

right now I just use a weight leveled argentavis which carries and anky

(island map, singleplayer)

[frosty goblet]

With what you’ve provided, I believe that is the best way early on.

[sudden night]

I am pretty lategame rn tho

[frosty goblet]

If you plan on only using island creatures, you are limited on what you can do. Quetzals can help the process, but it just depends on where you are at as of now. 😁

[frigid shard]

Is there a page on the wiki telling me what creatures are allowed in boss fights ?

Or more likely which ones aren’t

[river wolf]

it'll probably mention all the viable bossfighters in the recommended section of a boss fight

here it says what can and cant enter https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Boss_Arenas

[frigid shard]

Oh thanks mate

Also I’m wondering if a spino with its water buff , while standing can out dps a Rex cuz the stats on Rex seem better usually but idk exactly how much difference that water buff makes

[river wolf]

the Spinosaurus gets a hydration buff when it comes into contact with water that increases its  Movement Speed by 20%,  Attack Damage by 15% and  Health regeneration by 25% and decreases the turning radius by just standing in water and for an additional time of 30 seconds after leaving the water.

[weak crest]

Stupid question, how do you get rid of unwanted stuff in your inventory on Xbox?

[unkempt glacier]

[weak crest]

Just started

What’s the button

[unkempt glacier]

If you mean skin stuff you can disable it

I dont know srry i dont play xbox

[sudden night]

try to tame titanosaur

goes well
quetzal magically gets stuck midair
it literally just happens I cannot move
lose my cannons and everything
screw this im reloading my save file

[tranquil ether]

Good luck again i guess !

[sudden night]

take 2 here we go

really scared for my storage box though, because you cant put vaults on your quetzal anymore for some annoying reason

[grim portal]

Can yutyrannus pass through regular sized dino gates?

[river wolf]

left trigger

[sudden night]

alright it seems quetzals like land automatically on titanosaurs which then makes you get stuck

weird as hell, spamming spacebar frees you though

thankfully this time I didnt get hit

alright it happened again, this time didnt get free

this is nonsense what the hell is this glitch

I dont see this issue anywhere I look in videos I see where people tame titanosaurs

losing everything and having to restart from a stupid glitch or something that makes quetzals automatically land on a titanosaur or something is so nonsense

[sudden night]

alright I did some testing: if my quetzal touches the titanosaur it just freezes completely midair as if it landed and I gotta spam spacebar to break free

[weak crest]

Tysm

[sudden night]

the titan I am fighting is on a mountain making hitting it even more painful >_>

[quiet shale]

Guys i have a problem

When i join any server in ark ps5 i just see black then kick me form the server

Maybe u have Bad internet or smth ? Or just ps5 server are trash ?

Btw question for me too, so i finally got a Hazard suit in Aberration, so what is the préparation to go find a rock Drake egg ? Im thinking of like 4 or 5 good spino ?

[polar sandal]

Restart your PS4

Update your PS4 system software

Reinstall your game

Restore your PS4 settings to default

(restarting usually fixes)

[neat iron]

Guys is there an option in Redmi phones that prevent OTG from working?

[quiet shale]

1 - nothing happened
2- I didn’t find any update system software
3- nothing happened
4- i will

[unkempt glacier]

1 megalo good enough get the eggs and run or just clear the nest and pick up eggs

[sudden night]

argh despite me hitting the titanosaur in the head, half of the shots dont inflict torpor

as if taming this damn thing wasnt slow, glitchy and expensive enough

[tranquil ether]

Alright then, I omw to get a high level megalo with good stat

[frigid shard]

If transfer my survivor to genesis what’ll happen if I try transfer it back, will I spawn as a level 1 and have to go to an op or will it prompt me with a screen of select survivor?

[warped palm]

I'm having trouble with the Ice Wyvern breath. Is there a mount (other than an Ice Wyvern) or a consumable that can avoid or reduce the strength or duration of the slow from Ice Breath?

[hasty wolf]

Maybe a rockwell recipie, but theres not much you can do about it.

just kill them from a distance or use turrets

[burnt flame]

Wild egg taming question (eg. Deinos): Do the nests spawn completely random egg levels, or are the nests affected by, and taking in account what level creatures are alive around the nest when determining what level egg will spawn?

[hasty wolf]

egg levels are random, just have to get lucky

[burnt flame]

Good, then I don't have to micromanage thinning out low level creatures and leaving high level ones alone.

[stiff oxide]

idk how exactly it's determined or which one comes first, but the levels of nearby deinons are related to the egg level somehow

but as far as i can tell it's not worth trying to scope out where the high level ones are, just take a bunch of eggs and run

and like when you hatch it you might recognize the colors from a wild one you saw there

ive even gotten repeats of the same egg

[sudden night]

so I checked dododex and the wiki and it says you need 26 cannonballs to tame a titanosaur, thing is ingame I can see using the spyglass mod that each cannon does 700 torpor, and it has 31k max torpor, that means I gotta shoot it 40+ times, why are the wiki and dododex so inaccurate for titanosaurs?

[warped palm]

How would you recommend killing them from a distance?

[paper cypress]

Dont blame dododex if your shots dont register lol

[sudden night]

I am only taking about the shots that do register when I talked about the torpor

I am just saying that on top of all of that most shots dont register

[paper cypress]

Fix it yourself then ;) do the math

And update dododex

[sudden night]

25k/31k torpor

getting so close

[sudden night]

POG I did it

[crimson basin]

can someone show me how to trap a bary? i just want a reliable method because i used to trap a bary with a stone trap, and both times i just fell into it, not even trapping the bary itself, is there any way i can trap him easily?

[crimson basin]

the trap i used were 1 stone foundation and 4 walls with ramps btw

[hasty wolf]

High quality longneck, shotgun if they get too close.

[river wolf]

if theres an egg then theres a wild deinon with same colour and level. e.g if you see a 135 deinon and a 135 egg, get the egg and kill the deinon. repeat with all the high level eggs and deinons

[supple zealot]

Does higher quality fur give more temperature resistance

[burnt flame]

Wouldn't killing high level deinons be counter productive? I mean they are reliable ways to keep getting high level eggs or not?

[river wolf]

with the 135 deinon and egg example, it'd be counter productive to keep it because you dont want 2 eggs with the exact same stats and colour

[fossil urchin]

Tek-Stryder: Fjordur?

is it possible to get a tek-stryder on fjordur?

[crimson basin]

i think they do

[burnt flame]

Ah, so the stats would be alway the exact same too?

[river wolf]

yes

they come from the same parent so kill all 135 deinons if you see a 135 egg etc. of course there can be multiple 135 deinons so there are 2 options

• kill them anyway
• find as many 135 eggs as there are 135 deinons so odds are you get an egg from each 135 deinon

[stiff oxide]

well it's nice to have a backup when your first batch of babies inevitably starves to death because it's impossible for the human mind to conceive of how much meat these little guys eat

[river wolf]

i feel like there are easier solutions to that than "get 3 of the same deinon"

[hasty wolf]

only on genesis

[stiff oxide]

preserving salt in the maewing and 3x as much meat as you think there should be

[trim lava]

Are there reapers on fjoudor

how to decrease a time to mate again for a female?

[trim lava]

Thanks

[burnt flame]

So people explained "X edition" dinos to me a couple days ago, but what about "R-" edition ones?

[brazen robin]

its the gen2 varients. more melee less health

[burnt flame]

Nice. Do they get any other shenanigans, like the level cap extension of X edition?

[stiff oxide]

change the mating interval in game settings

[brazen robin]

they have a higher tamed level cap on officials (and unofficials that enable it)

[crimson basin]

ok ty

[burnt flame]

Ty

[brazen robin]

on officials there is a level 450 level cap on tamed, X/R and genesis creatures (dinopithecus as well I believe) are capped on 500 instead

[burnt flame]

Any other "speical" creature type I should be aware of beside X/R?

[brazen robin]

aberrant is like X/R with more melee, less health no level differences tho.
tek are higher levels but otherwise the same.

[sudden night]

Welp now I have a titanosaur all I gotta figure out is how the hell am I going to bring it back to base and what to even do with it

after all I am on singleplayer

I was hoping I could gather at least wood or berries with it but nope

[river wolf]

you tamed a titanosaur for wood and berries?

[sudden night]

I tamed it for the achievement and because I just wanted to do it

was hoping I could use it for something besides decoration like at the very least, again, harvest wood or something but nope

[river wolf]

go kill a giga

[sudden night]

no I wont, because I know that wont work with titanosaurs

and traveling an hour to the giga aint worth it

[river wolf]

i mean, what else are you going to do with it

[sudden night]

well as it stands now

travel an age to my base and use it for decoration lol

oh great the quetzal I had on follow the titanosaur goddang lifted the titanosaur magically into the air and instantly killed it with fall damage

dont mind me reloading my save file I guess >_>

fair game

I swear how do people handle these kinda of shenanigans on multiplayer where they cant reload a save

would make me die of rage

[river wolf]

dismount no fall damage exploit

[sudden night]

glad I can at least reload my savefile despite how scummy it always feels but for this type of bullshit I really dont have much of a choice

[solid girder]

I hope you are joking or you really gotta read what I said again

[hasty wolf]

What’s the best turret for Leeds? I’m looking for Mantises but the island they’re on is right on top of a spawn

[burnt flame]

Can "tamed level ups" also push creatures over the level cap where the game auto deletes them?

[river wolf]

i think so

[stiff topaz]

since you're on SP, that won't be on though. it's not set by default

[burnt flame]

So that would mean that an optimal creature would have 127 melee mutations (254levels worth of stats), 61 HP mutations (122 levels) and then 73 tamed level ups in health, adding up to level 450 with 254 Melee 134 HP?

[limber oak]

is there anyway to fix not being able to upload your dinos?

[stiff topaz]

everything has 88 leverlups

[burnt flame]

Isn't it 73?

[stiff topaz]

no

used to be before gen2

[burnt flame]

Oh shit, I'm on the old wiki again, reeee

[stiff topaz]

gen1 creatures had 88, everything had 88 with singleplayer settings, and then gen2 changed it to just everything

[burnt flame]

Now I gotta do math again, ugh.

[stiff topaz]

Genesis stuff (and a few others) have 500 as the level cap though

[stiff topaz]

i mean unless you specifically enabled the clamp, you don't need to worry about it

i have level 750 tex rexes

[burnt flame]

So I've heard, X and R type creatures go to 500 iirc.

[river wolf]

yeah, genesis stuff

everything added in genesis goes up to 500

[burnt flame]

Yeah but I don't wanna go past the limit of "what is intended to be possible".

[stiff topaz]

it's a stupid system anyway because it treats useless points in oxygen the same as melee

there are mods that do stat clamping better

[burnt flame]

I just swapped over to Fjordur for a couple days before heading back to The Island, and tamed a bunch of free range chickens and try to figure out what their stats should look like in peak condition if I wanna bring them back with me to the Island to finish off that run by finally going for the bosses, but I want something that can put up with even alpha stuff.

[stiff topaz]

do you have singleplayer settings on?

or rather, did you disable it?

[river wolf]

you can go wayyy below "what is intended to be possible" and do most alpha bosses

[stiff topaz]

if not then you're already easily able to get stats far past what officials can

[burnt flame]

I think I have it on, I figured I deserve it for having to put up with clunky AI control single handedly and not being able to manually control multiple things like Yutti buff/Daedon heal etc... like multiplayer people.

[stiff topaz]

was my logic too until my rexes did 5k with only 20 tame levellups

which is equivalent to well bred gigas.

[river wolf]

the only bossfight where i see that as an issue is cmc since it gets like 2x easier with every player added

[burnt flame]

Are you sure you didn't touch melee multiplier slider? On The Island I have a tek rex with somewhere in the 40-50 melee point range and he barely chomps around 1k iirc.

[rare acorn]

nope

[river wolf]

thats still a lot?

[stiff topaz]

1k is a fucking lot for 40-50

and yes, my melee was normal. my rexes were bred to 245.

[lilac bronze]

Is there a way to edit tribe governance after tribe is made

[stiff topaz]

if i have an issue with singleplayer settings, like hell im boosting melee on top of that lmao

[burnt flame]

Oh, thought you meant freshly tamed rexes with 20 level up, I was like wtf? lol

[stiff topaz]

accidentally set it to 1 in my first few months of playing. level 8 anky did several thousand damage. learned my lesson, default ain't 1

[solid girder]

you need to go into the game.ini files and set the override difficulty to 10 i believe

[rare acorn]

also have a problem for the pickup timer on s+ structures. In ini AlwaysAllowStructurePickup is set to true but it only can pickup 30 seconds after placement

[rare acorn]

did that too

[river wolf]

i remember "slightly boosting settings" and getting a dodo that 1 shot everything

[solid girder]

you set them to 30, not 10

[stiff topaz]

nope they were bred but they shouldn't be able to so easily outclass the dino who's whole niche is 'dps' so easily

[burnt flame]

Now I wonder if you could make a a boss achetina team at melee multiplier on 1

[solid girder]

i think it has a max you can set it to

[stiff topaz]

nope because they cant attack

[rare acorn]

I had it on 10, it didn't work, set it to 30, also didn't work

[stiff topaz]

put it under ServerSettings

[river wolf]

achatinas dont need to attack considering the fact that theyre so fast

[stiff topaz]

what file?

[rare acorn]

it is and in GUS

[stiff topaz]

sounds like you're editing the wrong file then

check pins and follow the path there Exactly

[burnt flame]

I swear baby ones have a raised chance to ask for walks as imprint task.

[rare acorn]

which file do I edit then, I don't see it in Game.ini

[rare acorn]

wdym by that

[stiff topaz]

pins describes what file to put the edit in

[rare acorn]

k

[stiff topaz]

well, the ones from STA, despite not being tameable with cheats, can attack at least..

'what is the absolute highest level a dino can go to', I asked one day

[river wolf]

the diplodocus has a tail whip in STA too

[stiff topaz]

They can also only get points in health and melee

[burnt flame]

What's STA btw?

[stiff topaz]

Survive the ark, mission on Genesis 2

[river wolf]

survive the ark, a mission on gen 2

its basically a horde fight mission where you need to kill dinos across 10 different biomes/maps

[burnt flame]

One of these days I'll learn what this whole genesis stuff is all about. For now I'm happy to build metal boxes and spend hours trying to breed dinos to clear decades old content.

[river wolf]

genesis good

[stiff topaz]

Genesis are dlc

They add some mission mechanics and a resources shop for a currency you earn from said missions. But mainly- maps

They both have some of the cleanest, most beautiful maps in the game. If only Gen2 didn't lack variety for how huge it is- It is absolutely stunning though. Gen1 is just very clean

[river wolf]

missions are basically the genesis form of caves. do them to fight a boss

[rare acorn]

there a site or google sheet for it, I can't find nothing with pins

[river wolf]

.

[rare acorn]

oh lol

[burnt flame]

I'll try to grab them if winter sale will be favorable.

How does one make a wyvern's breath attack go where you are actually aiming to?

[river wolf]

look in that direction

[burnt flame]

Hitting with onl 0-4 of the 8x300 damage ticks is pain considering the stamina cost

[river wolf]

fire wyvern right?

[burnt flame]

I even have a crosshair due to awsome spyglass, it seems to never actually aim for the center of the screen.

[burnt flame]

Yep.

[river wolf]

fire wyverns are one of the worst wyvern types, their dps really isnt much. not sure why you cant aim though because it should go in the general area of where the wyvern head is pointing at

[burnt flame]

I thought fire would be one of the best due to having a %hp damage based burn.

[river wolf]

it would be if the burn didnt cap at 100

[river wolf]

though tbf the entire visual flame of the fire breath seems to be a lot bigger than it actually is

[burnt flame]

Most definitely how it feels

[river wolf]

ive had my entire screen be filled with flames yet not get hit lmao

[burnt flame]

The wyvern just keeps breathing downward at an angle to where it's head is looking instead of straight where I aim.

[river wolf]

are you standing still in the air?

[burnt flame]

Either that, or during flight, sometime it's a pain to precisely direct it even while I'm sitting on the ground altho it's much more reliable that way.

[river wolf]

yeah iirc wyvern heads are tilted down when not moving in the air

[burnt flame]

Great design choice that I'm absolutely sure wasn't aimed at helping console players with their limited aim controls that just got lazily ported to PC in the same manner.

So will all Wyvern type's breath suffer from the same thing or is it specific to fire?

[river wolf]

i havent used fire wyverns much but i find it hard to miss using a lightning wyvern, poison wyvern can be hard because its a single projectile but still good

[rare acorn]

I have a problem for the pickup timer on s+ structures. In ini AlwaysAllowStructurePickup is set to true but it only can pickup 30 seconds after placement, do I set that timer to like 99999999?

[stiff topaz]

describe exactly what file you're editing.

[stiff topaz]

im preeeettty sure it's console that got the port

[river wolf]

i feel like you'd love voidwyrms. they have a giant cone breath that you hold down the button for until you run out of stamina/want it to end instead of being a click and you get a specific breath duration. their breath also has a nice stun and slow

[stiff topaz]

they don't even have split all. ive also never had such an issue with wyv aim

[rare acorn]

GameUserSettings.ini

[stiff topaz]

file path?>

[rare acorn]

H:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

[burnt flame]

Yeah those looked cool too, but I don't think they are available on Fjordur/The Island

[stiff topaz]

Send the file

And you're editing when the game is closed?

[rare acorn]

dm's

and yes

[stiff topaz]

Enabled

[river wolf]

they are not. exclusively on genesis 2

[rare acorn]

wdym

[stiff topaz]

dms enabled

[rare acorn]

it's processing

i'll upload and send a link

[burnt flame]

While I'm still on my detour on Fjordur: What are some tames on Fjordur which are not available on The Island and I should get before heading back? So far I got a Fire Wyvern and in the process of searching for a good melee/hp Deino.

[rare acorn]

did u get it?

[stiff topaz]

yes, but fyi you can just upload the file directly

[river wolf]

check the wiki for fjordur spawns, there is a lot of creatures there

[rare acorn]

I tried, it says processing and don't think it sent to you

[burnt flame]

I know how to compare the difference, I was more interested in "personal recommendations" as to what to get that I won't be able to on The Island once I head back there.

[river wolf]

uh let me check

karkinos and ravager for sure

[burnt flame]

Desmo is already on my list, was looking at a Griffin too but felt like they are practically a worse Argy except being faster fliers, but for fast flight I already have a Wyvern now.

[burnt flame]

I think I heard good utility about Karkinos so I might get one, what's unique/good about Ravagers tho?

[stiff topaz]

cant download it, just copy-paste it as a text file

[river wolf]

ravagers are argies but better

[rare acorn]

ight, one sec

[gentle hemlock]

When launching, ark just freezes

Has never happened before. Why is it doing that now?

[waxen maple]

have you added any mods

[gentle hemlock]

Not anythiong new

[waxen maple]

maybe turn down graphics

[gentle hemlock]

How am I suppose to do that if I cant get into the game

[river wolf]

they have more weight than argies below the 29th tamed level (assuming both have the same wild points, anything more than that tamed points means argies have more weight at around 7.5% more at 88 points into weight). theyre small and can fit through a double doorframe and have a lot of weight reductions, also pickupable by many creatures like karkinos and argies

[gentle hemlock]

Like I said it has never happened before and it is literally unresponsive right after launch.

[flint iris]

Why doesn't organic polymer go in fridges . It's really pissing me off

[river wolf]

its not allowed to.

[flint iris]

I know but why

[river wolf]

only thing thats intended to increase organic polymer spoil time is achatinas

balancing?

[flint iris]

I guess

I'll just make lots of cryopods

[burnt flame]

They don't look like they are able to fly when compared to Argys tho. Or are they significantly faster on land than the speed at which Argys fly at?

[river wolf]

yeah theyre around the speed of a wolf. unfortunately they are indeed incapable of flight

the fact that theyre so small makes them incredibly useful just for transporting resources from one area to another inside your base though. as i said, they can go through double doorframes

[gentle hemlock]

Ok seriously, Why is ark being unresponsive after launch.....

[burnt flame]

Might tame one if I find a 35+ weight one just to test it.

[gentle hemlock]

Literally nothing has changed.

[river wolf]

their base weight is 500 and they get +10 per wild level, then 4% onto weight per tamed level
argy base weight is 400, gets +8 per wild level, then 5.5% onto weight per tamed level

[stiff topaz]

could be disk damage

[burnt flame]

Yeah, that's why I would want one at high wild weight, they seem to scale far better with wild stat gains.

[river wolf]

yeah they do.

[gentle hemlock]

Would that mean other games on that disk would freeze too?

[river wolf]

900+ weight post tame is good.

[burnt flame]

Oh, right. Another creature I was thinking about are Maewings, do they scale off of any particular stat that I should be looking for if I wanna tame one?

Also Snow Owls, should I get a normal or R type one? Is the healing scaling off of any stat? How do their healing compare to Daedon's healing?

[stiff topaz]

not if only part of the disk is gone. scan for drive errors

[stiff topaz]

owls don't scale, their healing is less than dons as a result but they burn stamina instead of thousands of food so they're nicer to use

[burnt flame]

So if I want one just to be a "please heal my half dead dinos" button in my base I should aim for stamina before anything else, got it.

[gentle hemlock]

How would I do that?

[rare acorn]

did you figure out what was wrong?

[stiff topaz]

thgeres 2 brackets on serversettings

[rare acorn]

oh ight

gonna go jump off a bridge now

[stiff topaz]

you'll see that as a result.. there's 2 serversettings sections. so delete the second

or no delete the first

then make your manual changes under the second

[rare acorn]

can't I just delete the first since the second is missing a bunch of settings, or will it automatically get the settings when I launch the world

[stiff topaz]

delete the first, edit the secod

[rare acorn]

ight

[river wolf]

depends on what you want to use the maewing for

[burnt flame]

Would you guys rather use a 339.7% ascended revolver or a 301% double barrel shotgun?

[river wolf]

i personally wouldnt tame a maewing at all except for using the feeding trough ability, needs weight for food and nursing effectiveness. dont think the latter upgrades in the wild

339.7% pistol

[burnt flame]

I'm not even sure yet, I just heard they are a good utility tame to have and watching people glide with them looked fun.

||Then again at 1 point yesterday my game went unresponsive and had to be force closed just from my Wyvern's faster speed of flight.||

[river wolf]

they dont have much utility unless you use them as an early game tame, in which theyre op af

[tranquil ether]

Question when mutating , when u have a for exemple a weight mutation u have a color mutation too ?

[river wolf]

aside from being a nanny, they pretty much only have speed because other dinos do its other stuff better

[gentle hemlock]

How would I do that exactly?

[tranquil ether]

K thx for the reply i was scared to get color mutation instead of stat mutation

[stiff topaz]

they're one and the same. if a stat mutates so does a colour, its just not always visible

@gentle hemlock

[burnt flame]

Google up "how to run chkdsk" or you could try hard disk sentinel.

[crimson basin]

what can i craft with organic polymer except camo? and can i use it instead of polymer?

[burnt flame]

It can replace anything that requires normal polymer.

[crimson basin]

yessss ty

so i can basically do mantis farming instead of obsidian farming?

[river wolf]

yea

[crimson basin]

cool

[burnt flame]

Yep, or penguin farming, or hesperonis farming. Or if you are on Fjordur the swamp has dead dino corpses that you can harvest for massive amount of org poly and spoiled meat.

[crimson basin]

that makes it way easier for me then, i got tons of it after trying to find an argy

[river wolf]

organic polymer is a straight downgrade from normal polymer in some areas, it compensates for being easy to farm though

mainly spoil time and stack size

[crimson basin]

im on crystal isles, lower left beach place (i hate my decision to spawn there)

[stiff topaz]

or just the right click option i replied to

[river wolf]

english please

[tranquil ether]

Is a 132 saddle Armor good for a megalo on Aberration ? To go explore the red zone ?

(Megalo is 188 with 11k HP and 700 melee)

Im scared to go tbh

[gentle hemlock]

Said windows found no problems and no further action is required.

I also in fact did validate ark and it was only missing 3 files.

Even rinning on ark on Extremely low memory, It launches like usual like it has been for 3 seconds then becomes unresponsive.

Every single other game on that drive works perfectly fine. Phasmophobia, dead by daylight, No mans sky, Subnautica, Genshin, league. Everything works. Ark is the only game becoming unresponsive.

[sudden night]

been hunting ocean caves and swamp cave for ages but I just cant get a darn rex saddle blueprint ;-;

[crimson basin]

what is the effect i get for 5 minutes when i cryopod something?

[solid girder]

can anybody help, im currently hosting an un-dedicated server and my friend is unable to find is, i cannot friend him either has he has to spend 5$

[crimson basin]

why cant you friend him? your/his account is to low on level?

you can actually add your friend without needing a level, you can send him a friend link so when he clicks it, you get him in your friend list

[solid girder]

whenever I try it says i have not yet reached the requirement to unlock this feature

[crimson basin]

@solid girder

try this, it worked for me

[solid girder]

ok

[solid girder]

your a chad bro, appreciate it 🙏

[river wolf]

cryo cooldown, anything you uncryopod during that time will get cryosickness

[crimson basin]

yeah already guessed it, got my 3 pteros to sleep 💀

[river wolf]

dont let them get hit because they take some stupid damage modifier, something like 10x or 20x. its insane

[crimson basin]

what

i mean im in singleplayer, and it happened in my base

btw, i have my sarco in cryo, will anything happen to him if i left him there/die?

[tranquil ether]

Is it good to just glide down to the red zone in Aberration then put my dino out with the cryopod ?

Or should i walk all the way down on my megalo ?

[solid girder]

nothing will happen to the sarco has long as the cryopod does not spoil

depends on your server but i think official is like 15+ days

[crimson basin]

30 days in singleplayer, good

[plain stag]

@molten falcon #pvp-discussion or #pve-discussion

[limber oak]

for some reason i cant find my server, is there a fix to this?

[river wolf]

you can put them in a cryofridge to recharge them

[crimson basin]

ik, but im to lazy to craft the cryofridge, so i can just get new ones

[fringe rover]

More expensive to craft new ones, also easier to lose tames

[crimson basin]

they are very cheap imo

and i still need alot of new ones, so yeah

[fringe rover]

Until you have to make a couple hundred

[crimson basin]

probs

[river wolf]

theyre nice just for organization. very small and 72 slots

[crimson basin]

Are wyverns aggresive? I saw a fire wyvern on my way home, and i just left near a crystal tropical wyvern, will it attack me?

[lilac bronze]

If the xp bar on my dino is full does that mean I can’t level up my dino anymore

[river wolf]

non heir crystal wyverns are neutral. the rest are aggressive

[sudden night]

I am very sure I tamed every single creature on the list that you need for the master zoologist achievement and yet the achievement isnt triggering.
Anyone got any suggestions?

[river wolf]

check all the dossiers and make sure theres a checkmark on every tameable creature

for the island of course

[sudden night]

do you need to have all the island dossiers to be able to get the master zoologist achievement? >_>

[river wolf]

no

theres a checkmark in the corner of a dossier that says if you tamed the dino or not

[sudden night]

hmm

a lot of them are unchecked despite the fact I absolutely tamed them

[river wolf]

if the creature was unrendered when it tamed, it doesnt count

[sudden night]

like megalodon is unchecked, I got mf 20 of them

[river wolf]

maybe tamed it when it was unrendered

[lilac bronze]

How do I use the nuke from the godzillark mod I can’t find the mod discord

[sudden night]

what an annoying glitch

guess I gotta find the dossiers first to see which ones I have to tame again

[spark gazelle]

Why cant i transfer items / dinos on xbox official servers? I used to all the time.

[slender ferry]

What map are you transferring to?

[sudden night]

can anyone else double confirm that it's indeed the dossiers that decide if you get the master zoologist achievement?

or is the list of creatures I have to tame on the wiki incomplete or something else

[copper loom]

how do i export a survivor to download it on a different map?

[tranquil ether]

Im asking again but Can u glide down to red zone without danger in Aberration ? Like im too lazy to do the entire path on my low stam megalo so i just want to go down and cryo him down there, its possible ?

[stiff oxide]

how often do cave drops respawn on fjordur?

[lethal escarp]

My friend and I were recently having problems playing. We were trying to find out what could be the source. These are the current mods we have.

Any Colour Sets
Auto Engrams
Awesome Spyglass
Awesome Teleporters
Death Inventory Keeper
Dino Storage V2
Immersive Taming
Ark Additions The Collection
MarniiMods:Hairstyles

Ever since we added DinoStorageV2 & Immersive Taming, we’ve been having issues.

[sage prairie]

Why is my ark stuck in the loading screen it’s been like this for the whole day anyone know how to fix?

[hazy peak]

If possible, attempt to test this mod configuration on a clean map, since DSv2 and IT were added after the fact. Adding mods can often cause significant issues. (Had to totally restart an LI server once because of an added craftable element mod.)

If everything runs fine, try messing with the mod loading order. It could be either IT or DSv2 (or both) need to be reordered. Offhand I would probably ensure DSv2 is near the top, if not at.

[lethal escarp]

Wait wait DSv2?

Oh

[hazy peak]

Dino Storage messes with a few things if it's not ordered properly. Otherwise it's a very benign and useful mod.

[lethal escarp]

So it needs to be on the very top?

[hazy peak]

I would put it there, and if it doesn't work, move it to like 2nd or 3rd in order. 2nd if it's a dedicated unofficial, 3rd if it's being hosted by one of the players.

[lethal escarp]

It’s a non dedicated session

I put it in the 1st and immersive as 2nd, ark addition 3rd

[hazy peak]

Then 3rd, but I would honestly fire up a fresh session, load all the mods at once, and test that first.

[lethal escarp]

What should be in 1st and 2nd?

[hazy peak]

Death Inventory Keeper probably should go 1st. 2nd I would put IT because both of those seem like they'd interact with the most of the game engine (though IDK for sure, never used either).

[lethal escarp]

If it’s fine can I Dm you the mod collection I desire to play with me and my friend?

[hazy peak]

Some, but by no means all, of the mods will tell us about load orders if they're needed. Sure, but gimme a bit because I'm also in the middle of something else, won't be an instantaneous response. XD

[stiff topaz]

Dino storage has absolutely no issues or requirements with order @lethal escarp

[errant sequoia]

My wife and I are having an issue when trying to get into our servers. As soon as we pull up the main screen for ark, our games crash.

For my wife, it's been happening for a while, it just started for me today after i uninstalled lost island to make room for fjordur since my 500gb drive was too full ~_~

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Assertion failed: Ar != NULL [File:F:\build\LostIsland Engine\Source\Runtime\CoreUObject\Private\Serialization BulkData.cpp) [Line: 1244] Attempted to load bulk data from an invalid filename 'Z:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/ARK/ShooterGame/Content/Genesis/Structures/OceanPlatform/Ocean Platform_Wood/Textures/T_Rope_BC.uasset'.```

[stiff topaz]

Modlist is perfectly innocent. What’s the issue?

[stiff topaz]

What do you believe it ‘messes with’?

[stiff topaz]

Verify files- corrupt asset

[lethal escarp]

Just keeps saying “host timed out”

And when I did the exact order Steve told me too, it worked

[stiff topaz]

However that may not fix your wife’s issue because it’s incredibly unlikely to be the same crash for both of you

[stiff topaz]

Yeah non dedicated does that in vanilla too

[lethal escarp]

Yeah and I’m not paying

[stiff topaz]

It’s janky and sometimes just needs some bullshit and luck to just WORK. Reason I moved to dedicated
Self hosted. No paying.

[errant sequoia]

I'll check her error and see while Mine is running integrity verification, thanks.

[hazy peak]

Did with mine. XD

[lethal escarp]

How do you do that exactly?

[stiff topaz]

You download the server software for free from steam, and run and connect to that. No need to pay- or fight with- hosts

[stiff topaz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1dcWkSzGd4 you can skip the second half- you don’t need to worry about clustering

[hazy peak]

The issue that happened specifically was when a crafted element mod was introduced. It did not at all play well with it. So it can happen, but odds are it's either an ordering issue or non-dedi being non-dedi. Best guess I got at least.

If you got anything or better info to add by all means go nuts. I'm no expert. XD

[random glade]

How do I identify which of my argentavis' aren't worth breeding anymore using the Ark Smart Breeder?

[stiff topaz]

I’m curious what the issue was

[lethal escarp]

I may need to use Hanami,

[stiff topaz]

In both cases. Because both mods are additional itens.

[lethal escarp]

Cant Port forward, my father changed the ip password

[hazy peak]

I didn't really get a chance to get into too much troubleshooting on that one because I had to restore the server for unhappy people. XD

[stiff topaz]

But what like.. broke?

Why did you need to restart?

[lethal escarp]

Is it possible to use Hanami with it?

[stiff topaz]

Possibly, I’ve not tried

[hazy peak]

Best I can tell was a load order issue that, for some reason, affected building piece spawn, inventory callback, and even some interactions with environment. And it loaded everyone at 50/50.

[stiff topaz]

The fuck

[hazy peak]

[lethal escarp]

Not like I have another alternative since asking my old man “hey can I infiltrate our ip in order to create a server?” could make it seem less obvious

[stiff topaz]

There was a wildcard update recently that caused people to spawn at 50, 50

[hazy peak]

It's a happenin' spot.

[lethal escarp]

Is there a way to disable tether distance

[hazy peak]

Not on non-dedi, no.

[lethal escarp]

Or do I have to still do 1000 cause I stg

Goddamn it

[hazy peak]

You can try setting up your own server outright, there's a program for it at least. But I never did.

[stiff topaz]

Closest you can get. Which still drags in caves, randomly on Ab, water in Centre..

If you can’t host see if your friend can. Worth the switch

[lethal escarp]

my friend isn’t used to gaming

[stiff topaz]

What was this?

[lethal escarp]

So not worth teaching my fiancé

[stiff topaz]

Cuz the thing is, that modlist should NOT have any load order requirements whatsoever. Outside of dependencies- usually you’ll only see that in overhauls- It’s needed for editing an unstackable value in the PGD
That means things like changing difficulty (like those crappy old max dino level mods), and remap priority. If the mod isn’t editing or remapping anything, or there’s no contender for the remap (think one mod remaps rexes vs 2 mods do. Mod with higher load order gets its rex, but there’s no need for priority if nothing else is trying for it)
Additional items are virtually impossible to make unstackable or require priory by their very nature of being new
The other mods probably use buffs or a cca to work, so pgd never even comes into it

IT is probably the most ‘invasive’ since I believe it does change dinos somewhat, but with nothing else there for it to fight with- even mechanically- I see no issue

Sorry, that turned out longer than I expected lol

Mods are generally really not fussy about load order if they’re made with some semblance of cleanliness

[stiff topaz]

An exception to additional stuff ‘just working’ would be in cases where the spawns for the dinos are interrupted- either random replacements that don’t stack, or remapped container (potentially, I need to test if additions still end up there even if remapped)

[wraith falcon]

Anyone know how to unlock a bugged explorer note?

Gen 2 HLN-A note 31-32-33 will not unlock even though we have done all 3 bosses with her mini version equipped

[grizzled crown]

Hey guys, new to the discord. I along with some buddies wanted to play modded ark together, (4 of us) and we couldn't figure out how to do it on local hosting without lots of lag. I was just curious if anyone knows a good server hosting site with a good cost for a low player count. Thanks.

[wraith falcon]

We use GPortal and it costs the 6 of us 63$ a month for 12 10 man servers on a single cluster

[red olive]

Gportal and nitrado are probably the cheapest, although you could try self hosting with asm

[stiff topaz]

If lag is the issue self hosting isn’t gunna work. It’s usually the only good option though.

[stiff topaz]

I’ve heard pretty much universal bad about nitrado as warning so I’d avoid it

[grizzled crown]

alright, thanks guys

[blissful pagoda]

I hope this isn't a hardware issue. All of sudden my Ark is taking 10 times longer to load, especially the mods. I was playing fine yesterday, logged off to eat, came back an hour later and now it takes forever to load anything. Getting to the menu screen takes much longer. Some mods are taking 10 minutes each to load.

9 minutes, just now loading in the first mod

first mod took 6 minutes

[weak crest]

Is there a way to quick transfer through inventory

It’s annoying to keep putting stuff from my dead corpse to my body

It feels awkward and slow

And most of the time when I’m halfway through the Dino kills me

[blissful pagoda]

yes, what platform?

[molten falcon]

#role-assignment platform?

[weak crest]

Xbox

[molten falcon]

on pc there's a transfer all button

not sure if the same goes for xbox

[weak crest]

😦

I’ll have to check

[blissful pagoda]

i think I've seen xbox streamers transfer all

[weak crest]

It would be game changing for me

[brave merlin]

Any chance someone knows why my inventory is instantly closing after opening?

[lethal escarp]

@stiff topaz saw the video but sadly it’s too complicated. Reason is I have a steam deck and this isn’t for Arch Linux. I don’t know much about Linux to do this on my own

Only reason why I’m using my steam deck is because it runs better with this game. My pc, not so much.

Unless you have an easy way of telling me how to make a server (not buying one) the Linux way and not the point I have to go to the deep web to find out, I’d be happy.

[rich monolith]

steam deck who tf uses steam deck

[stiff topaz]

never used linux but im not sure how it'd be different- it's effectively just running a program?

[stiff topaz]

because it runs better with this game.

people who's pcs can't run it as well :P

[rich monolith]

just use ini and lower ur settings

[stiff topaz]

yeah, make the game unrecognisably ugly sure

if this works better for them there is absolutely nothing wrong with that lmao

[gritty current]

Can someone help me? I'm trying to find a spot to breed a lot of Magmasaurs that is NOT on The Center, Lost Island or Ragnarok. The locations needs to be buildable and can't have an artifact or be a waypoint to an artifact. I can also make use of S+ item aggregator (so I don't need to fish for eggs in lava with a whip).

[lethal escarp]

People who want to play high graphics game but to then realize the battery dies fast and painful

[lethal escarp]

Again I’m not sure, I’m not an expert with Linux nor is there a channel that has one

They are able to join one time in that one world, but later they keep timing out.

[red olive]

I hear Linux and get excited lol

[lethal escarp]

👀?

Would be wonderful if there was a channel

[red olive]

I mean it would, unfortunately ark doesn't run very well on Linux, and I don't know if there is enough Linux player base to convince them to make one

[lethal escarp]

Great

So the windows player has to invite me

If I’m correct?

[stiff topaz]

'a channel'?

[lethal escarp]

For Linux

Dedicated Ark Linux users

[stiff topaz]

a channel in what context

[red olive]

Oohh, for making a Linux run server?

[stiff topaz]

#unofficial-setup-help ?:p

[lethal escarp]

No specifically for “#ark-survival-ascended-linux”

[stiff topaz]

i mean it's still server setup so it's kinda a pointless divide

just specify linux

[lethal escarp]

Most cases people in #unofficial-setup-help will say “idk how to deal with Linux”

[stiff topaz]

and having a dedicated channel isn't going to make any more people know

[lethal escarp]

I specified it was a steam deck earlier to Steve and you jumped in LOL

[stiff topaz]

because i didn't think it would be any different?

[red olive]

Yeah setting up a server on Linux VS windows isn't too different. It's when you try to make the client work that is the issue

[stiff topaz]

a LOT of servers run ark on linux and I dont see why the setup would be such a jump

[lethal escarp]

What issue I’m currently having is, hosting a non dedicated server for just one person who has a windows.

[stiff topaz]

and i would have responded exactly the same if it was in a linux channel, or a steam deck channel

[stiff topaz]

solution is a dedicated server. your issue was that the setup video 'is not for linux'

[lethal escarp]

We have the same mods, in fact, reinstalled them together one by one. I deleted the previous world and tried making a new one. It worked, but I wanted to test it out again to see if joining the new world would cause the issue, as she continued to time out.

[red olive]

If you are both playing on steam it wouldn't matter who does the hosting I would think, regardless of the os

[stiff topaz]

nondedi is just unreliable af

[lethal escarp]

That’s what I thought, and it continues to time out non stop

[stiff topaz]

no matter what. you better hope ark is having a good day or you're not getting on 🤷

[lethal escarp]

We’re on 348.3 patch whether that’s due to the mods or not.

[red olive]

A timeout could be due to a lot of different things

[stiff topaz]

i played nondedi on steam -> steam, pc -> pc, with and without mods, for years. it's never been reliable

[red olive]

Yeah, it's most reliable in a lan environment, but even then it is problematic

[stiff topaz]

don't regret the switch to dedi at all

connection issues are all but nonexistent since

[red olive]

Ark wasn't designed to be lan or self hosted, thats more of a patch that came later if I remember right

[molten falcon]

I think what @lethal escarp is trying to say this entire convo, is that she Wants to avoid making a dedicated server.

[red olive]

Yeah, it's hard to know what the exact issue for the timeout is though

[molten falcon]

She said she's making this for one person, why should she go through all the trouble for learning how to program a device she has no idea that could cause her linux to completely bloat?

[stiff topaz]

^

[red olive]

It is unlikely that it is due to the system though

[molten falcon]

Yeah I saw that, but what I said earlier just explained what she claimed

[stiff topaz]

because nondedi is unreliable af and a WAAY bigger headache in the long run

you take an hour to set up a dedi and then it works

[molten falcon]

Yeah, but it doesn't make sense to make a server for 2 people to play in and to learn so much of programming she may never use.

[stiff topaz]

you spend an hour every other day trying to get nondedi to connect

[molten falcon]

It may take up an hour because you know how to do it, but the person doesn't know how.

[red olive]

It really doesn't take much programming

The hardest part is port forwarding

[stiff topaz]

a) that is literally what i did
b) 'so much programming' is copying line into a file and downloading a program

[molten falcon]

I believe they are scared doing these things can cause problems

steam deck requires you to disable read only

[stiff topaz]

they never said that

[molten falcon]

but I think they are aware what steam deck hardware is capable of

[lethal escarp]

That is true

[red olive]

I am unfamiliar with what steam decks are, is that a special type of laptop?

[molten falcon]

Even if you got someone who knows what they are doing, someone who's doing this from a windows, but disabling a read-only computer and doing different commands, is very risky.

Yes it is, it uses different commands, it's an Arch Linux

but also uses other codes

That is why I'm saying, you're encouraging a person to do something, when you don't even know (not Raq) what hardware it is and for all you know you can be sending them problems on there way.

[lethal escarp]

Yeah

[red olive]

Hmm, arch Linux should have 0 problems running a server

[spiral bison]

I agree with moe

[red olive]

I have run ark servers on manjaro, which is an arch distro

[stiff topaz]

okay if the hardware was the issue then you could have just said that in the first place

[molten falcon]

If you are new to linux, steam deck is hard enough to learn, so don't try to do all of that.

It's more than just that, it's the person who's using it

[stiff topaz]

if you keep arguing that 'a server is too much effort' ofc im going to say 'i mean..'

[molten falcon]

It's not the problem that an arch linux can run a server.

It's the problem that the person doesn't even know how to use it and filling them with knowledge is gonna overwhelm them

[lethal escarp]

^^

[stiff topaz]

you never learn to do anything if you never.. add knowledge

that's why tutorials exist

[molten falcon]

There's no tutorials FOR LINUX'S

Regarding about Steam decks and ARK

So no what you're saying is not helpful at all

It literally came out, it uses different coding, it's not just an Arch Linux. Now this is highly irrelevant to what the person is asking.

[stiff topaz]

i mean they can keep on struggling with nondedi if they want and it's genuinely dangerous 🤷 my whole argument was with that you were saying 'its so much effort for a server'

[red olive]

The process is identical on Linux as it is on windows provided you get the right software

[stiff topaz]

thooough

a quick google brings back plenty

[lethal escarp]

Steam deck doesn’t use sudo ._.

[molten falcon]

it doesnt use sudo..

[radiant grotto]

I'm on gen 2 taming a shadowmane and hes somehow weighed down when I scanned with hlna it said he has 703 out of 640 pounds??

[tropic meteor]

Yep, that happens

[molten falcon]

quick google doesnt give you all the answers, unless you watch it and find out yourself

[radiant grotto]

How fix

[tropic meteor]

Should make taming easier right?

[radiant grotto]

Maybe

[stiff topaz]

Could you detail that maybe?

[stiff topaz]

i mean this is not the only result

but i dont have time to google extensively rn.

[stiff topaz]

'don't offer a solution because they might need to learn something for it'?

[lethal escarp]

could we stop arguing please?

[lethal escarp]

Do you recommend that video even though it’s 2 years?

[red olive]

If it works yes, setting up servers hasn't changed recently

[lethal escarp]

Have you ever tried?

I don’t want to risk doing this only to find out it’s outdated and failed

[red olive]

On arch? Not personally, but all you need is to make sure you have the libraries, and then download steamcmd and it should be the same

[lethal escarp]

Also I heard people use Pterodactyl

[red olive]

I have never heard of that

[radiant grotto]

do shadowmanes not go to sleep when they're weighed down

[lethal escarp]

It's pterodactyl.io

[weak crest]

How long does night last

I only have some berries left

And there are raptors

Should I scavenge for more berries

I have a torch

[red olive]

Hmm, that seems like it could work, but I have never tried it

[lethal escarp]

you think?

I don't know how to install it tho

[red olive]

I don't know either

[lethal escarp]

pfft

it looks way easier than the ones manually

like SteamCMD

[red olive]

I have never used third party other than asm

[lethal escarp]

ASM?

[red olive]

Ark server manager

[lethal escarp]

When someone told me "never take off read only in steam deck"

I've been very cautious, that's why I wanted to avoid doing this

[molten falcon]

question whats the full code to spawn in a quetzal saddle?

[lethal escarp]

that's for free right

nvm

[red olive]

Yeah it's free

I have never used it on Linux though

[lethal escarp]

yeah

what have you used on your linux?

[red olive]

I just used steam cmd

[lethal escarp]

Only reason why Im using it on my steam deck is cause well-- I bought it might as well use it since other games haven't been added

two, My pc is Nvidia GTX 1060

but I feel like it's not up to it's standards, it's years old and gets heated up so easily.

[red olive]

The gpu isn't really used to host a server I don't think, just to run the game client

[lethal escarp]

Don't know if installing the windows 11 is worth it

[tropic meteor]

Are you experiencing issues with windows 10?

[lethal escarp]

yes

I dont think upgrading it to 11 is gonna do anything with this piece of crap

surprised it hasn't died

[tropic meteor]

like what

[lethal escarp]

Fanning, just by opening google chrome

Smallest of downloads making my pc feel like a microwave on a tuesday

[tropic meteor]

That sounds like a hardware issue, windows 11 ain’t gonna fix that

[lethal escarp]

already went door to door to people asking to help with this old pc

said "No hope"

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[weak crest]

What are the beacons in the land that have lightning? Does the color matter? I see a white one a green one and a purple one

I mean I saw a blue one not white one

[frail patrol]

just supply drops, colour means what level they're

which pretty much means a different loot pool.

[weak crest]

What color is what level

[frail patrol]

depends on the map: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Supply_Crate#Level_Requirements

[weak crest]

Oh I’m in the island

I can only get the white one but I’m close to being able to get the green one

Im level 12 in a day

Is that ok progression

[stiff oxide]

what is the max creature lvl in fjordur caves if your regular max lvl is 150?

[foggy talon]

What are dinos that basilisk dont agro on

I need a list like 5 names anything

[weak crest]

Piranhas suck

What marker shows your dead body

I don’t see it

[hollow quartz]

trilobite maybe? i know no water dinos aggro on them

[foggy talon]

My guy

Dont megs agro on them

[foggy talon]

A big green line

[molten falcon]

Anyone need help with finding an easier way to tame shadowmanes

U dont need guillie etc

Just fish baskets and a trap

[hollow quartz]

i remember watching a video on putting trilobites in the ocean to hide cryopods because no water tames aggro on them

so i'd hope for that guy's sake that megs don't LOL

[wild salmon]

Anyone got any tips for surviving in pvp servers? Im pretty knowledged on the game but anytime me and me friends get pretty far with multiple crystal wyverns and a decently hidden metal base we get destroyed by some random high level dudes, i just wanna know how to avoid them if thats possible since they have parasaurs

[molten falcon]

Want a tip on taming shadowmanes?

They could help alot

[wild salmon]

Yeah i was gonna try to transfer to genesis 2 and maybe have a better start im level 77 rn

[molten falcon]

Ok so you

Need 16 stone walls 4 ramps and 4 stone foundations

Make a 4by4 and make walls 2 high then place ramp on one side

Guide shadowmane into trap then fly up to deaggro it

Go to side and crouch u will be able to feed it through wall

[wild salmon]

They only take a few fish baskets right

[molten falcon]

Yeah

[hollow quartz]

there is no way to hide from parasaur scouting assuming that you're building on land - build in water (CI is best for this because of the size of the ocean), on a quetz (CI or rag for this once again, because of how tall the maps are), or somewhere that people can't be bothered getting a parasaur to (gen1 you need a skiff to parasaur scout, valg abb zone is annoying, abb in general)

[molten falcon]

Yeah there is

[hollow quartz]

none of those methods will ensure you don't get found, mind

[hollow quartz]

well, you can kill yourself every spawn

and have 0 tames out

[molten falcon]

Ik

[hollow quartz]

but if he wants to raise at all that's not rly an option

[molten falcon]

I mean depends

[hollow quartz]

if you're raising only when you're online, then you're not raising LOL

[molten falcon]

If ur at a crouch cave or something just have a theri camping entered on agressivev

[molten falcon]

Maewings

[hollow quartz]

ah yes an aggro theri at a crouch cave post nets (also velso ahve always existed)

[wild salmon]

Damn so u really gotta put ur bases in crazy spots huh, and im guessing keep every tame in a cryo

[hollow quartz]

maewings get detected by parasaurs

his complaint was that he kept on getting parasaur scouted

[latent coral]

Question, is this game designed to only work for youtubers and other streamers? Cause I am doing everything the way people are telling me to and its just killing me over and over and on top of it i make a room inna cave walls ceiling and four campfires and the egg is staying too cold but i burned alive is it just my own personal crap or is the game made to drive people insane?

[hollow quartz]

if you build in a spot that parasaurs aren't scouting you dont need to keep every tame in a cryo, because the whole point of keeping every tame in a cryo + killing yourself on logout is so parasaurs don't ping you

[molten falcon]

Tbh it just a skill issue sometimes

[hollow quartz]

no, it's just a hard game to learn
air conditioners or an egg incubator (latter is easier) are probably what you're looking at using to hatch your egg

[wild salmon]

Ok, and is it smart to transfer to gen 2 with nothing and try to get a shadowmane and bring it back to a different server or will i also get constantly destroyed on gen2 💀

[hollow quartz]

depends what cluster
assuming official 1x/smalls, i wouldn't bother taming much of anything at all and would just trade / raid / pvp for lines

if it's a crossark / arkpoc / an unoffi that wipes, then it might be good to try and tame them

[wild salmon]

Oh okay so dont expect anything to be long term on official pvp

[hollow quartz]

something like that

it's also just a "the kind of resources you need to actually raise a line from scratch" and "how good a line dino is compared to a wildtame"

[wild salmon]

My friends wanna get to where we can fight bosses and stuff and have endgame dinos but they also dont wanna play pve cuz there is structures everywhere so im in a weird spot

[hollow quartz]

if a dino has a capped stat, it's the same as it being a perfect tame wild level ~1200

which is probably a good enough description of the difference inbetween garbage you tame and stuff that people carry on their kits on offi pvp

(literally 8 times the pretame level lol)

[hollow quartz]

use upload to store valuables + trade ARB/c4 with people for lines is the lowest skill + most reliable method on most offis

as long as you're willing to farmslave a little it's not hard to trade for capped rex (for boss) + velo (for boss) + mana (for tributes) lines (on pc at least, no idea about ps)

[wild salmon]

Okay sounds good

Just had to make a new character is there a fast way to lvl up on gen2

[hollow quartz]

you don't have to make a new character

just transfer your old one from the last server you were on using the obelisks / supply drops

[wild salmon]

💀 well

When i was transferring my game crashed (ps5 btw) and i didnt see the exact number which server i transferred to and the last played session didnt put me in the right server so my character is in the void

[hollow quartz]

did you spawn on the server you transferred to?

or did you just get to the spawn menu

[wild salmon]

No it put me in a random gen2 smalltribes server so it was on a new character screen so i assumed the transfer didnt work but when i went back to my main it also put me on the new character screen

[hollow quartz]

your character should be "in upload" then

click on the download survivor button on literally any smalls server

and it should be there

[wild salmon]

U were right thank the lord

[hollow quartz]

when you disconnect from a server before you spawn it just leaves the character in upload

super useful if you ever need to get off a server quickly

because you just join the first server you see in the list, exit to main menu once you load in, then join the one you wanted to

also useful (not sure if this also happens on ps) when the server you're trying to transfer to doesn't show up in the list

it's also a nice place to leave your char if you're taking a longer break from the game, because you don't need to find what server you left it on (and don't need to get it off server) if/when you play again

[wild salmon]

True thats smart

Gen2 is so weird starting with a suit how do u even start off on this map 💀

[hollow quartz]

just remember that items will despawn off that character ~24 hours after you upload it (i've heard rumours of it being a bit less, but i'll assume it's the same as item upload), so it's not like you can keep all your belongings in there without thinking

it's only your char which is safe there longterm (and even then i've lost characters to bugs, but that's been when i had several in upload)

[wild salmon]

Okay

[hollow quartz]

the suit dash punch is basically a free unlimited dura pickaxe that moves you when you're overweight

[wild salmon]

I see

[lethal escarp]

Anyone know how to run a sh file on Linux

done chmod +x etc can't.

[hollow quartz]

./file.sh

[lethal escarp]

still

[hollow quartz]

what does ls -l file.sh show?

[lethal escarp]

``#!/bin/bash

start ShootGameServer.exe "Fjordur?=SessionName=Fantasia?MaxPlayers=5?OverrideOfficialDifficulty=5.0?Offset=1.0?AltSaveDirectorySaveName=Fjordur?QueryPort=27015?Port=7777?listen"``

how I made it

[winter dragon]

whats the best way to destroy an ocean plat

[lethal escarp]

-rw-r--r-- 1 deck deck 191 Aug 10 02:19 Start_Fjordur.sh

that's all

doing ./file.sh is permission denied

[hollow quartz]

start ShootGameServer.exe
ok this has its own problems

are you actually using linux?

stupid question i know but if you're just using mingw and assuming linux commands will work

[lethal escarp]

.

[hollow quartz]

that'd be why you can't chmod and why it's giving you so much pain

[lethal escarp]

steam deck is what im using so if it answers your question

yes, yes I am lol

[hollow quartz]

ok cool

sorry for troll question lol, got concerned because a .exe is windows executable

and start isn't actually a linux command afaik

[lethal escarp]

its suppose to be just a console

[hollow quartz]

when you chmod +x Start_Fjordur.sh what does the command return?

[lethal escarp]

nothing

[hollow quartz]

you could try chmod 755 Start_Fjordur.sh?

*755, not the other ones, i mistyped

[lethal escarp]

?

[lethal escarp]

confused

755 command not found

[hollow quartz]

when you enter chmod 755 Start_Fjordur.sh?

[lethal escarp]

yeah

[hollow quartz]

that
something is horribly wrong lol

[lethal escarp]

dont know why this is being a pain in the ass

[hollow quartz]

if you type chmod --help does it show the help page?

[lethal escarp]

yeah

[lethal escarp]

couldnt send images so I sent via dm

[hollow quartz]

do another ls -l Start_Fjordur.sh

[waxen maple]

can anyone help my game crashes whenever i load into a world

[glad bough]

I loaded up ark on fjordur and my settings were completely reset and is said I still had my save file but when I logged on it showed the survivor creator screen

Please help

I have spent so long on that world

Rip my ark

I was just about to fight my first ever boss lol

[gritty mural]

@carmine lance read his bio please

[glad bough]

Should I make my character and see if my world data is still tthere

[stray summit]

I have a problem. All beehives in my game seem to be dead. No queen, no drones. I've checked a good chunk of redwoods already. How can I fix it?

[glad bough]

It's gone for good, my world and everything

I loaded on and it spawned my with a character I didn't make and everything was gone

[weak crest]

I don’t have a death beacon

[glad bough]

How do restore things from the steam cloud

Please anyone

[modern drift]

A dinowipe should fix that, or just keep killing them.

[stiff oxide]

isn't there a glitch with dinowipe and beehives

there's something else you have to do i think

[river wolf]

yes
destroyall beehive_c 1

[glad bough]

I got my world back but not my character

Ima move to the xbox version to play with my brother

[molten falcon]

My stackmods dont work anymore

[tired thicket]

are there maewings on fjordur?

[molten falcon]

Yep! You can find them in the red woods, by lakes with ruined castles

[stiff oxide]

there might be a way to get your stuff back with forcejointribe or something

[glad bough]

Ik

[glad bough]

But I. Doing this

[tranquil ether]

Can u make kibble with fertillized egg ?

[plain stag]

Yes

[tranquil ether]

Good, cus i have a fk ton of spino egg

Thanks for the anwser toi !

[hollow quartz]

deino eggs are best for kibble farming that way bcz easy raise + they take up very little space per female

if you raise like 20~30 deino females and leave them on mating you'll have more kibble than you know what to do with (assuming you're not playing singleplayer)

[tired thicket]

thank you!

[stark shell]

Can I use/ replace organic polymer instead of the polymer you craft

[plain stag]

In almost everything unless it specifically says organic polymer

Like ghillie, that needs organic poly.

[tranquil ether]

Well im playing singleplayer with unffocial setting so yeah dont rly need that + im on Aberration

[last harbor]

i cant transfer with a certain item apparently. is it the alpha dragon head? or the dermis ?

[stark shell]

How do I get the giant queen bee to get out of the bee hive?

[river wolf]

destroy the hive

[stark shell]

Nothing happened when i destroyed it

[sudden night]

I put tons of torches in my rex breeding area to prevent the eggs from hatching until I move them to my hatching spot

issue I go freaking blind everytime I get near it now

so damn bright

[river wolf]

probably an empty hive, try doing a hive wipe because thats not meant to happen. heres the command
destroyall beehive_c 1

[flint forge]

How do i make myself “invisible” in ark

By that i mean turning my character invisible (not like Invisible to other dino, but actually invisible)

[tranquil ether]

What stat should i up on my rock Drake ? Obviously i was thinking of health and melee but maybe weight and stam too ?

[sudden perch]

How do I get a cryopod on extinction?

[brazen robin]

OSDs and I believe city terminals

[modern drift]

Stamina is very important, what are using it for?

[umbral wren]

titans obelisks

or drops if multiplayers

[sudden perch]

Terminals don’t work but the titan obelisk did thanks guys

[brazen robin]

gotcha

[elfin stream]

Do gachas still produce crystals if they eat their food out of a trough?

[tranquil ether]

Mostly exploring and will do the two remaining cave i need to do

Btw the surface is scary as hell, i did go one Time and found 3 reaper king waiting next to an ascendant flak legging :( couldnt get it too scared

[umbral wren]

as i said

[umbral wren]

.

[tranquil ether]

Also a question, what is a minimum good level for a Reaper Queen on Aberration ? Cuz the highest i found is 75 should i try to find even higher level ?

[brazen robin]

high as you can. reapers always have the ability to get 75 bonus levels.

you kill things while pregnant with the reaper king to give the bonus levels

[tranquil ether]

K, im still not there but i wanted to know, cuz i need to find a way to get that HP down

Since it has a ton of hp jeez

[sudden perch]

I was thanking you as well

[umbral wren]

I thought it was ironic, sorry

[quaint thicket]

Anybody know if the tek trike bug got fixed?
