[dusty gull]

Hey anyone know how to transfer onto abberation on single player? I downloaded my character only to find I can’t use the drops to transfer in and out is there a setting for that? Or is my only chance of getting my stuff or escaping to get to the surface and use that obelisk?

[brazen robin]

gotta go to the surface on singleplayer. servers can use drops

[dusty gull]

Oh damn alright thanks

[molten falcon]

You can also go to the destroyed terminal though

[dusty gull]

Is that also at the surface?

[molten falcon]

I have a fairly good crossbow, like around 185% dmg. Should I just craft a longneck for tranqing out a giga? Or do I use the crossbow?

[molten falcon]

No, that one is underground, and you can get there with just basically a glide suit

[covert belfry]

yea but the repair cost damn it was too much

[naive dust]

You can use either. If you’re high enough level for shock darts I would say craft a few longnecks and use them. If not just crossbows will work. I’d also bring a few extras gigas have a lot of torpor and can easily go through 1-2 bows worth of durability.

[covert belfry]

everytime i want 200-300 polymar i have to wipe out all of the pengwins on the map

[molten falcon]

I'm level 106, so like 3 longnecks, plenty of shock darts, some biotoxin, and a dream will get me a giga in theory??

[serene mirage]

so, i have a slight problem, eachtime i load up fjodir it takes me to the steam page and says download, and ive downloaded it multiple times and ive launched it multiple times but it still doesn't let me join a server or a local single player world, if anyone can help that would be amazing

[covert belfry]

well from what i seen u also need a good cliff

[molten falcon]

That's true that's true

[brazen robin]

make sure its downloaded. go to the mods folder and see if its there (guide in the pins)

[naive dust]

Yeah. And bring tons of extra narcs and tranqs. If you have an ovis setup bring one with you and everything to slaughter and harvest it. Gigas take awhile to go down and wake insanely fast. You don’t wanna get to far from it when it drops.

As for the cliff a trap made out of metal Dino gates works the best.

[molten falcon]

... what about a Stonehenge circle

[covert belfry]

the chainsaw was the best thing i made now is the drill just as good?

[river wolf]

repair cost isnt too bad when it loses 0.1 dura an arrow

[naive dust]

Metal hinge circle is better, they can damage stone

[river wolf]

also, it should be like 40 polymer for a primitive comp bow lol

[molten falcon]

Oh nono, I mean like on fjordur there's a circle of Stonehenge

[covert belfry]

oh kk i try using it

[molten falcon]

I thought I could lead the giga into it

[river wolf]

drill is amazing, its like the chainsaw version of a pickaxe but also combined with a hatchet + if that doesnt satisfy you then jt gives you weight reduction on a variety of resources when equipped which is such nice qol

[covert belfry]

damn

i know my next goal

[naive dust]

Oooh. Idk I’ve never used them. If you can get him into it and it’ll trap him it should work. I don’t think they can break rocks.

[molten falcon]

Wooo thank you I'm trying to be as cheap as possible

[naive dust]

Just remember how fast they wake up. With a 150 it’ll wake up 4 minutes after knocking it unless you drug it. Lower levels even faster.

You got this man I believe in you!

[molten falcon]

Oh my

[molten falcon]

I gotta get prepared first this has suddenly became terrifying 🥲

Thank you though

[serene mirage]

Alr tysm man

[brazen robin]

if its not there, uncheck, restart steam and check it in the DLC menu (right click ark on steam, properties, DLC, uncheck, restart steam completely, re-check)

[brazen pivot]

You can use graplings in bossfights?

[brisk lynx]

@brazen pivot yes

[brazen pivot]

Ok ty

[brisk lynx]

Np

[indigo mesa]

After mating my shadowmanes why would my shadow baby not appear when it finished? Did the animation but didn’t give me a baby shadow. Anyone know?

[brazen robin]

what level are they?

[crimson totem]

Howdy...First time caller, short time lurker... I am playing on a private mostly vanilla server. I have a group of 3 Tri's and 2 Paras.. I'm trying to get them to autoharvest anything and I'm just not holding my mouth right. I set them to Wander and enable auto harvest and on one video something about Neutral. But they just wonder around and don't collect anything... Did I miss a memo?

[brazen robin]

trikes and paras can't auto harvest

[crimson totem]

DOH!

[indigo mesa]

Male is level 376 and my only female is level 78 ish. It gave me a baby the 1st mating but the 2nd time I didn’t get one. Weird

[brazen robin]

yeah, not sure. could the server be on the tame cap?

[fringe rover]

Is it glitched inside the terrain or the mother?

[indigo mesa]

I was on the side of a mountain so I was thinking that was the case. I never found it and it never notified it dying in the log since this happened about 6 hours ago

[brazen robin]

won't say it died if its unclaimed as its not in your tribe

[indigo mesa]

Noted, that makes sense. Yeah I searched pretty good so was just trying to prevent this for future mating

[primal cove]

Anyone know how much gas the S+ generator uses per 24 hours?

[open ice]

Question: Can I play on my friend's non-dedicated session? They are on Xbox and I am on PC (Steam). If so, how?

[naive dust]

1 element per day real time

[naive dust]

You have to have be on Microsoft version to cross play with Xbox

[brazen robin]

no, xbox is not cross with steam.

[primal cove]

Gas. Not element. The normal generator not tek lol

[brazen robin]

steam to epic/stadia
xbox to win10(microsoft store/gamepass version)
playstation, switch, and mobile can't crossplay with anything

[naive dust]

Oh shit. My bad man lol been a long long time since I ran gas gennys it’s not a lot. If you put a stack in there it’ll last you more than a week I believe

[open ice]

Can I bind my steam account to a microsoft account so I can play the microsoft version without needing to buy it again? Like I can do with epic games?

[naive dust]

No. You’d need to buy it

[primal cove]

Lol thnx no worries

[brazen robin]

you need to buy it again. pretty sure you can't switch epic/steam version either

[open ice]

Dang it. Alright

Thank you

[tepid hearth]

How do you go in to attack mode on an astrodelphis without going superspeed

[naive dust]

You don’t

[covert belfry]

so i got a drill and a chainsaw do these bothe things gather everything outside of water?

[brisk lynx]

How do I ta.e a mantis

Tame

[molten falcon]

passive tame with deathworm horns or rhino horns

[brisk lynx]

Is that all

Do I need bug repellent like artho

And ghille

@molten falcon

[molten falcon]

yes

[covert belfry]

damn i tried to search for a better alternative to argy and turns out thers none for a flagship dino

[molten falcon]

what do you want specifically?

[covert belfry]

well i do still need a battle mount

[molten falcon]

I personally recommend high level imprinted Thyla or Yuty

[covert belfry]

oh

im not much into breeding as im in single player

but thyla sounds nice

[molten falcon]

it's not bad if you boost rates

[covert belfry]

oh

well i dont want to start a new game now

and what level is considered high level? 120?

[molten falcon]

you can change rates without deleting your save

also, I'd say 135+ is high level on difficulty 5 (standard)

[hushed thunder]

Best spawn for extinction?

Also would like some tips

[pine token]

Depends on the kind of server you're on and what you're goals are. If it's pve and you're not sure yet what your plans are, the city is a good place to start

[hushed thunder]

Single player
Plans are to do everything there is to do on extinction

[pine token]

The city should be an ideal start imo

[covert belfry]

oh thanks

[normal zealot]

Do tek rexes lay eggs?

[pine token]

Yep

[normal zealot]

ty

how many theriz/rexes would be considered good for an egg farm

[manic shale]

How to get ahold of crystal? And obsidian? There are very early recipes that need it and I can't find any.

[daring lichen]

Are grappling hooks necessary for the central cave?

[normal zealot]

On what map

you can go on google and type "ark <map> resource map"

like "ark the island resource map" and everything you'd need will be there

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

Here is the one for the island as an example

make sure to turn caves off unless you intend on going into caves for them (which in early game you wouldn't)

[daring lichen]

What health is good for caving carno

What happens if a cave unloads with a tame in???

My carnos gone

[naive dust]

The floor disappears and your tame falls into oblivion

[daring lichen]

Why was there a sarco with it.

I'm so mad.

tamed as a 140 carno ascendant 101.1 armour saddle gone

[naive dust]

Yeah that happens

[manic shale]

Procedural I think, or the island.

[normal zealot]

how many theriz/rexes would be considered good for an egg farm

[river wolf]

depends on the demand, and breeding/egg laying rates

[primal cove]

How do you get new generations of breeds? I'm using the Ark Smart Breeder program on PC. I bred my first two Megatheriums we will call them A and B. They produced an offspring we will call it C. C says it's Gen 1 in the software. I bred A and B a few more times but all their offspring isn't considered Gen 1. What gives?

[normal zealot]

Standard rates, just for kibble

[river wolf]

well yeah for kibble but idk if you want to tame everything on the ark or tame a few things here and there

[normal zealot]

here and there

not taming things daily

at the same time - enough to give us kibble that we can tame gigas etc with

[river wolf]

1x taming rates?

[normal zealot]

I think its 5x taming

[river wolf]

i'd do like 5 theris + an oviraptor

[normal zealot]

ty

[river wolf]

should take like 5 kibble for a 150 giga on your rates

[merry wraith]

how do i tame a tuso? cause i forgor 💀

[river wolf]

let it grab a dino, go up to its beak and feed it black pearls/food. rinse and repeat

[daring lichen]

Where is good for rex on the island?

[upbeat hedge]

Someone keeps setting traps everywherr

Around blue ob

[river wolf]

check wiki

[daring lichen]

Where?

[river wolf]

ark.wiki.gg
rex page
theres a place on the page for spawns

[spice flower]

hey guys, our wyvern died due to some bug/error and we want to cheat and spawn the exact same.

Is there a command to spawn lightning wyvern at 185 lvl tamed?

[river wolf]

try the command listed on the wiki with the level 123, 124 or 125

[uncut kite]

there is even an command to spawn exact same

but you need to know the stats of the wyvern in order to do that

https://arkutils.netlify.app/tools/spawnexact

[spice flower]

cant find a command to spawn with exact level

[molten falcon]

did you click the link

[spice flower]

yes

[molten falcon]

it generates it

[spice flower]

I don't recall stats, just need fresh 185 wyvern just like it was createdf from an egg

[molten falcon]

just summon a wyvern, givetome, and setimprintquality 1

[compact sandal]

Omg i finally solved it

[stiff topaz]

What was the fix?

[compact sandal]

It seams like i had some sort of Malware/Virus on my PC which didnt allow some programs to do certain requests or interact in the internet at all.

I had to start Windows in Safe Mode with Network Connection THEN install anti malware (Rkill, Malwarebytes and Spybot (had to do it in this order)) THEN run these programms step by step. restart PC and thats it.

[rare berry]

I don't understand, I went and explored the entire lagoon in the south tropical island in the far east of the center, and did this on a brand new singleplayer local world, and there was absolutely no mollusks in there. What?

[normal zealot]

can you tame penguins and breed them for an organic polymer farm?

[rare berry]

@normal zealot i know you can with Hesperornis.

[hollow quartz]

i'm pretty sure that the generation is based off what parents the program thinks the dino has. sometimes it does this automatically, sometimes it needs to be done manually (assuming you want to use the pedigree features)

[sudden night]

yes, also kill the penguins with a pelegornis or moschops, especially the babies give an insane amount of polymer when killed

[daring lichen]

Where I can't see it.

[stiff topaz]

Interesting- and good to know, thank you!

[carmine rapids]

@daring lichen okay go to ark.wiki.gg on the left side there are drop down menus. find data maps and click it scroll down till you see the dino map and sleect the map you are playing on. Once it loads click the select creature drop down and find rex. it should show on the map orange to green squares where they spawn

[daring lichen]

Ok TY

What's max lvl without any boosts

[carmine rapids]

depends on your settings

[daring lichen]

Default

[carmine rapids]

should be 150 then

150 wild*

[daring lichen]

Ok. I thought it was gonna be like 100 when engrams stop learning.

[daring lichen]

Survivor lvl?

[carmine rapids]

No

Dino

100 max survivor lvl

dino max level for you should be 150 max survivor is 100 @daring lichen

[daring lichen]

Ok ty

[daring lichen]

I knew dino but thanks 🤣

It was so easy but I now eternally hate the central cave.

Is "monster island" top right?

[carmine rapids]

@daring lichen “carno island” or it’s called like deaths something

[daring lichen]

Just gone on a taming spree 125 carno 95 doedic and 162 tek stego currently all knocked out.

[spice flower]

I respawned my wyvern with command cheat gmsummon "wyvern_character_bp_lightning_c" 124 and it seems to have no imprint (low damage) can I add imprint as well with command?

[polar sandal]

SetImprintQuality

SetImprintedPlayer

SpawnExactDino

are some various ways to go about it

[spice flower]

found the way, thanks!

[polar sandal]

steam?

[versed anvil]

yep

[polar sandal]

try verifying files and check for gpu update

[versed anvil]

i will, thanks o7

[daring lichen]

What stats do you want on a caving sabertooth

as in what health? and then do I do rest melee or speed or what?

[carmine rapids]

i would do dire wolves but thats just me since you can buff there stats with there group howl

just make sure you got opposite gender wolves

so they get mate boosted

[tepid crescent]

Megatherium is op caver. It get buff when killing bugs.

[carmine rapids]

for certin caves

[daring lichen]

Ok

[carmine rapids]

if they can fit

if your on the island do the megatherium for swamp cave

[stiff topaz]

Move any overhauls you have to first in load order. If you have none, load a different mod in first position

[carmine rapids]

only downside of direwolf is no saddle so take that into account. But what were doing is 400% melee then pumping health into the wolves

[stiff topaz]

build name, is irellevant

[carmine rapids]

if you get lucky while breeding and get mutations hope for melle or health mutation. We sadly got no mutations on our caving dire wolf pack's (12 wolves) (4 wolves per pack)

[versed anvil]

Aight thanks

[spice flower]

does exping tamed dinos provides more benefits to later babies? or not really? lets say I tame 150 shadowmane, it gets 225lvl and then I exp it to 300 and breed, will babies be better if its 300 or 225 just after tame is the same?

[tepid crescent]

Babies, only carry tamed stats, not lvls you put on the tames. For breeders I don't put any lvls on so I can see what the parents stay are.

[covert belfry]

is there a mod that marks every cave location in ark this is too tering to always keep searching

any map related quality of life mod. a character pointer on map or marked cave locations on map, or better way points like death stuff or expandable hi-rez map thats more accurate... anything helps always googling everything is kinda extra work

[hollow quartz]

just look on wiki for "explorer maps"

you dont need mod for char pointer on map, it's a setting when you start singleplayer

[covert belfry]

yea thats what im saying if we are already using wiki and cheating whats the point of just not having better maps

[covert belfry]

oh did not know that

[hollow quartz]

if you consider it cheating then don't use them..?

[covert belfry]

i want to cheat

i want to easily be able to see some things ingame like cave locations

less alt tabbing

[hollow quartz]

you can mark places on map

using P (i think it's P?)

[stiff topaz]

maps are all but inaccessible for mods from what i've heard. steam overlay exists tho

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Explorer_Map/Fjordur just open it in the shift-tab menu

[covert belfry]

oh

so its a game code stuff damn

[frail patrol]

yeah the map's implemented in C++.

and no way to remap it or anything.

tbf I could maybe look into making a mod that'll just add ARK Wiki maps into the game

[stiff topaz]

👀

[frail patrol]

but that's kinda dumb since servers have to install it

[stiff topaz]

Singleplayer, and any servers that do, would appreciate it im sure

tab hoarders on craptops who can't afford to open chrome and ark at the same time would for sure

source: was a tab hoarder on a craptop

[molten falcon]

just so you know, that person was wrong. max survivor level is 105 with no increases.

[daring lichen]

Ok

[rare berry]

Hello?

[covert belfry]

now i have tamed a rex and i want to move on to taming a wvern which is the easiest one ? i tried ice wyvern but i dont think i can battle em and bring the alpha down for harvesting milk

[tepid crescent]

What map are you on?

[cosmic flame]

I've been playing with friends on an xbox official pve server and some other ones want to join but are on PC. Can I transfer to a crossplay official pve server? The guide just says must stay pve or pvp so I'm not sure.

[covert belfry]

valguro

[tepid crescent]

I never got wyvern eggs on val. Sorry I can't give any help.

[covert belfry]

oh

i can get the egg i just cant feed it

[tepid crescent]

If you can't feed it, once the food runs out the health will drop quickly. High lvl wyverns will last about 2 hours with no food. We use snow owls to heal every two hours if we cannot feed.

[waxen steppe]

Please good lord am I doing this wrong, placing these fence foundations to block off underwater area is horrible. It's taking incredibly long because they won't clip right and barely register, worse than normal building. Ps4 unofficial.

Is it better to lay foundations and use door frames? It's a large area and uneven terrain.

[tepid crescent]

It's hard to tell without knowing where you're building, and what you mean by blocking it off. Can you change server settings? It's been a while but there is a clipping structure that will help if you have access to do so

[waxen steppe]

Unofficial pvp cluster so no changing settings. Building gen2 underwater lab spot, the main common alpha spot. I'm experienced with building but not as much using these fence foundations

I'm building turret towers underwater outside the cube area using vacuum chambers with the walls down. I want to block off large portions to create spaces for water tames and prevent people from coming in close.

I'd just use pillars but it's a huge area and fence foundations are so much cheaper

Also help with LOS

[tepid crescent]

That sounds like a pain in the .... It sounds like a combo of pillars, and fence foundations would fill in the area without gaps.

[covert belfry]

thanks man i think i can hatch it

[manic shale]

Friend just ran over to one of these glowy thingies and pressed yes without reading and lost all his gear, is it recoverable?

[molten falcon]

glowy thingies?

that describes many things in this game

did he just press drop all items? you can pick up your cache within a few minutes

[river wolf]

did you go to an obelisk terminal and upload your character

[formal dune]

hey my ark is stuck on validatinf after unsubscribing from mods anyone able to help?

[manic shale]

I think that is what it was, yes

[river wolf]

i think your bag would be wherever he uploaded

[primal cove]

What happens when you cryo a pregnant female tame? Does it lose the baby? Or resumes next time you throw it out?

[hasty wolf]

I think it saves, but it might reroll its stats/colors

[primal cove]

Think isn't good enough lol sorry.. I Googled and found an exert that said it removes it and starts all over again so like she is on a cooldown for however many hours I guess *shrug

[plain stag]

Nope, you lose the pregnancy.

[primal cove]

But can you breed again when you throw it back out or do you have to wait all that time to breed again?

[primal cove]

Thnx

[covert belfry]

i cant find cave in valguro

im standing at 60, 10 thers ruin here but no entrance to the cave

[warm path]

On Fjordur could you teleport on official

[brazen robin]

yes

[pine token]

Since you're on Steam, thought I'd mention that Soul Gems "[have] a confirmation window and [do] NOT put mating timers on cooldown" (this is one of the Dino Storage V2 features)

(imo Dino Storage has some OP features, but depending on how you use it it can also just be used for a few QOL improvements like that one.)

[primal cove]

Thanks for the tips. The server I'm on doesn't use soul gems or Dino storage pretty sure. If it's the thing with the paint ball gun. Those are nice though.

[pine token]

Yeah, I'm all for embracing challenges/difficulty, but certain RL timers + RNG can make challenges start to feel punishing.

[marble pelican]

Ok so I want a base that’s chill and nice on any map like not a specific base spot but ideas I can live in like I mean somewhere random in the ocean or a sky base or anything im desperate for a base btw it doesn’t matter the size

[grave summit]

i am playing ark with mods but gameusersettings doesn't update I add a mod the config for that mod doesn't appear doesnt matter what mods i use for example i added this mod "Plant Species Z Wild Seed" i start the game i stop the game then go to gameusersettings but the config for this mod isnt there just the vanilla stuff

[plain stag]

You have to manually add mod configs under the mod header. For StructuresPlus, for instance, you would do

[StructuresPlus]
Config=True/False

[grave summit]

Thank you i was so confused for a long time XD

[plain stag]

No problem! The mod page should have the header somewhere, maybe a pinned discussion or in the description.

[grave summit]

yes it does i thought i had to find it already in the file not add it myself XD

[proud rock]

i having trouble getting into severs-

[plain stag]

Ah, nope just add it, save, start, and you should be good to go 😁

[plain stag]

Evidently a lot of xbox users are, file #server-reports

[proud rock]

ah thank god im not the only one!

thanks!

[plain stag]

Nope you're not, you're welcome! Hopefully they get it sorted soon.

[formal dune]

so uh ark on steam crashed when i try to load the maps that came with it like the center and ragnarok how do i fix this?

[plain stag]

Try verifying files

[formal dune]

alr

[zealous leaf]

Anyone know how to help

Every time I try to load into the server I play on it says could not retrieve address

It’s been like this for hours now

But other people are able to load into server and I was able to load in with my alt

[short lance]

I’m having same issue but I can join on my main and not my alt

[plain stag]

Some users are having difficulty loading into xbox servers, by now it should be being looked into.

[zealous leaf]

See mines the opposite not my main but my alt can load in

[short lance]

Lol weird 😂

[zealous leaf]

What sucks is I have babies raising and I can’t load in to do a meat run to feed them

Love getting arked 👍

Game sucks but apparently it’s a finished game 🤣

[plain stag]

Make sure to file #server-reports

[crystal hare]

What’s the default settings for wild dino stats per level? I wanna change those to default but if I reset all my settings imma have to redo them all again and don’t wanna do that, and also if I want the Dino’s I’m taming to eat faster what should I change to do that?

[crystal hare]

Thank you

[fringe rover]

For eating faster, theres a config for wild only or theres one for tamed and wild

[crystal hare]

Ah ok

[fringe rover]

Should be able to ctrl f at https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[crystal hare]

Ah thank you

[timid cloud]

ive downloaded some ini but i don't know how to get them in launch options can any one help me

[proud rock]

when ur not the only one😭 i was raising like 10 gigas and other tames and they probably dead rn

[silver plover]

What stats should I look for in my theri army I’m playing single player

[fluid umbra]

For boss? Usually health/melee

[silver plover]

Yeah but numbers wise like how much health and melee

[fluid umbra]

Assuming they're rex-equivalent, at least 50k hp and rest melee

[brazen robin]

if its against dragon don't go above 21k health.
make sure to give them veggie cakes :P

[silver plover]

yup people put alot of emphasis on the 21k hp how about melee?

[molten falcon]

melee high as you can

my best theri (retired it from boss fighting) has over 2k melee

[gentle osprey]

@silver plover if it for dragon forget the theris and get deinos

[molten falcon]

went a bit overkill on the mutating, gamma overseer cried

deino is if you're fine with cheesing

they're only good because of bleed

[gentle osprey]

@molten falcon rather cheese with 1 deino then risk losing a full army of theris

[dire bane]

has anyone else with windows ten edtion been stuck on the main loading screen permentately

[molten falcon]

you won't lose if they're good enough

[gentle osprey]

Having good tames is one thing but knowing what to do with them is completly different and veg cakes are aids to farm

[molten falcon]

fair enough

it's totally possible to mess up and whistle all your theris into lava

[dire bane]

on wi dows tren version can u increase teher distance

[silver plover]

Tryna do for all the island bosses lol

[hollow echo]

Anyone still having problems logging into official servers? Keeps saying could not retrieve address

It’s only this account.. I can log into official servers with others

[brazen robin]

win10 can't increase tether.

only steam/epic

[dire bane]

f

[onyx meteor]

hi guys. After the update I couldn't open the ark. I already uninstalled and installed and the problem persists. does anyone know what i can do?

Hmm, ark shouldn't be in steamapps/downloading, it should be in steamapps/common

Are you trying to open it from inside steam?

[onyx meteor]

oh sry this is the real location :C:/programfiles (X86)/Steam/steamapps/common\ark\shootergame\binaries\win64\shootergame.exe

i got it, was antivirus

[red olive]

Yeah that's where it should be

[onyx meteor]

tks

[red olive]

Yeah, no problem. Just make sure to open it from steam. Sometimes it can have trouble if you open it from the .exe

[onyx meteor]

ok ill keep in my mind tks

[tough jolt]

does there happen to be a way to have cave dino's respawn sooner or does it just take time?

[plain mesa]

I was playing Ark with GeForce Now and decided to install it on my PC after making space for it. My save data isn't on my PC. Is there any way I can get it on my PC?

[rare berry]

Does the day/night speed cycle setting determine how long it takes to go from day to night and night to day, or does it do something else?

[brazen robin]

there are 3
DayCycleSpeedScale https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#:~:text=information and hotkeys.-,DayCycleSpeedScale,-float
NightTimeSpeedScale https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#:~:text=for the value.-,NightTimeSpeedScale,-float
DayTimeSpeedScale https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#:~:text=of each night.-,DayTimeSpeedScale,-float

[rare berry]

I know that there are three. I know that the DayTimeSpeedScale determines the length of day, and the NightTimeSpeedScale determines the length of each night; but I'm not quite sure what the DayCycleSpeedScale does exactly.

[brazen robin]

wiki says "Specifies the scaling factor for the passage of time in the ARK, controlling how often day changes to night and night changes to day. The default value 1 provides the same cycle speed as the singleplayer experience (and the official public servers). Values lower than 1 slow down the cycle; higher values accelerate it. Base time when value is 1 appears to be 1 minute real time equals approx. 28 minutes game time. Thus, for an approximate 24 hour day/night cycle in game, use .035 for the value."

I think its just both combined 🤷

[rare berry]

Are there hotkeys to split stacks?

[plain stag]

Shift+Double Tap RMB takes 5
Shift+Drag RMB takes half

[rare berry]

Ok. Thanks.

[daring lichen]

How do I do spoilers on phone?

[plain stag]

Two || on each side, thats really more of a #general question than game help.

[daring lichen]

Ty I thought I was in #pve-discussion as my last chat and then I was gonna put the spoiler there because that's where I was gonna mention it but next time I'll put it in #general

[covert belfry]

i think it was a bob question maybe hes more bob then anyone here

i was just joking 😄

Does anyone know the name of the mod that allows other players to see your green hologram placement image thing of objects to help with getting things lined up?

[covert belfry]

i got an artifact of hunter from a island cave what do i do with it?

[normal zealot]

you need those artifacts for boss fights

keep them in a chest somewhere

[covert belfry]

oh

[summer plover]

or just put them on a artifact pedistal

and use them also for cosmetic effect

[primal cove]

Anyone know if the Smart Breeding Tool has a Discord for support? I got a reply from reddit that said there was and gave me the link but when I went to check the message to get the link the comment was deleted so wasn't able to get the link. I've got a few issues that I can't figure out 😦

Like for instance one of my females isn't showing up on the breeding plan no matter what I do

And also one of my dinos got a mutation but in the software it says that dino has zero mutations 😡

[tropic meteor]

Ark smart breeding?

[primal cove]

Yeah it was a tool for PC I got recommended in here a few days ago. It's pretty nifty

[tropic meteor]

just making sure that’s what you meant, I’ll dm the discord

[primal cove]

Awesome thnx

[covert belfry]

oh

[carmine rapids]

how up to date is ark.wiki.gg? looking at caves and wana know if there correct on the wiki.

[plain stag]

It's the official wiki, it is up to date. If there are issues, dm or tag one of the wiki admins.

[carmine rapids]

only issue is the harpoon picture on caverns of lost faith.

[river wolf]

should be able to fix it yourself, for the most part though, just about anything on wiki.gg will be true and what isnt can be solved easily.

[hollow mesa]

is there any reapers/rock drakes in the abberation zone on valguero

[tropic meteor]

No

[hollow mesa]

i will now cry about the last 2 hrs of me searching through the valguero abberation zone.

[tropic meteor]

rip

[inland totem]

guys, i had this happen to me where i "unlearned" some engrams , which seem to be random and i couldnt learn them back , tried giveengrams , doesnt work

[covert belfry]

there are reapers in the underground i killed couple yesterday

[hollow mesa]

what area

the weird rocky no forest area

i found some Krebs

[tropic meteor]

Only if you have mods or custom spawns

[covert belfry]

idk inside i entered through the waterfall hole and then i lost my way but area was quiet big where i found em also had aborent dire bears and other stuff

[hollow mesa]

oh that place

i didnt even try go there...

[plain stag]

Yes, but again, on the official/vanilla version there are no reapers, drakes, or nameless

[covert belfry]

wait no

it was ravagers

[hollow mesa]

[tropic meteor]

lmao

[covert belfry]

sorry my bad

[hollow mesa]

[covert belfry]

sorry im new to ark i just thought reaper sounded like i seen them

[hollow mesa]

[covert belfry]

it was a couple of ravagers that i encountered

[hollow mesa]

i mean understandable the name isnt far off but their completely different creatures lmao

[covert belfry]

yea i just googled reaper good thing i didnt encounter em

[inland totem]

guys giveengrams doesnt work

i cant craft ANYTHING

[shrewd gate]

On a website listing the artifact locations on Fjordur it mentions that the lava cave is very hot so take cooling items "such as white crystals". Is this right? As far as I know crystals don't help with cooling but are just used for crafting? If it is incorrect have they got confused with something else? The article also mentions using a fjordhawk to reach a clifftop so I know not all of its info is good... 🤔

[tropic meteor]

what website

[plain stag]

Use https://ark.wiki.gg for accurate locations

[shrewd gate]

I can't post the actual link in here but gameskinny and respawnfirst both have articles which say this about Fjordur

[tropic meteor]

oh I see, yeah idk what they mean by white crystals

[normal zealot]

does the oviraptor have to be female for egg boosting

[plain stag]

Nope

[normal zealot]

and does the level matter or will a level 1 boost the same as a level 150?

[shrewd gate]

I don't even know where they got that info from and how it got spread onto more than one website too

[plain stag]

Level is only important if you want higher stats, it does nothing for egg boost

[tropic meteor]

no idea

[normal zealot]

is there a limit of Dinos can oviraptor can boost?

And how about radius it boosts?

[plain stag]

It's just a radius, though I don't know what it is.

[normal zealot]

For taming, do the eggs it eats need to be fertilised?

[plain stag]

Nope, normal eggs will do

[normal zealot]

Ty

Do theriz only lay eggs when set on wandering or will they do it standing still?

Or Dinos in general

[plain stag]

They'll lay unfertilized eggs while standing still

[bold yarrow]

how far is the dedicated storage range for a stryder

[bronze python]

just enable mating on them instead of wandering

[covert belfry]

can tek and normal rex be bred?

[stiff topaz]

Variants can't breed together without mods

[covert belfry]

oh

[normal zealot]

so they dont lay eggs unless mating is enabled?

[tepid crescent]

They lay unfertilized eggs just by standing there. They lay fertilized eggs on mating. It takes a while to get a random unfertilized egg. You can get a fertilized one quickly by enable mating as long as you are mating. They also drop unfertilized eggs more often if a male, and female are near each other.

[normal zealot]

mhmm so I should let them drop fertilised eggs then pick it up before it hatches

for an egg farm, right?

[tepid crescent]

Yeah, I do it a lot if I need that type of egg.

[normal zealot]

ty

[stiff topaz]

mateboost is practically a requirement to get unfert eggs, the chance of it dropping otherwise is so low just fyi

oviraptor helps too

[naive dust]

No. Not Oviraptors.

[normal zealot]

can the eggs be fertilised?

[naive dust]

Yes but it makes no difference

[normal zealot]

kk

[urban cairn]

So few weeks ago I saw shockist video and he harvested karkinos polymer with moschops but can't recall the method but he was getting slot caps anyone watch it he explained it in video can't find it

[hollow mesa]

can an aberant spino and a normal spino breed

or aberrant sarchi and normal sarcho...

[hollow quartz]

no

[stiff topaz]

aberrants are variants so no

[ruby garden]

Level up poly harvesting on the moschops. Level up hp on karki if it's not wild. Right click to bite.

[covert belfry]

damn brayonix is so much better then megaldon in water. made my biotoxin runs very easy

[hollow quartz]

basi or tuso are both better for biotoxin and the shark is overall possibly best underwater tame in the game xd

[covert belfry]

shark u mean megaldon? it just sucked for me

[manic stone]

Yeah, gets shocked and game over

[next rock]

So annoying not being able to get onto my server since yesterday,I wish they'd stop dragging their feet on people's progress.

[manic stone]

Tuso is great in open water and basilo is great in caves

[covert belfry]

yea ima get me a basilo for now

[hollow mesa]

are there reapers on any community maps.

[covert belfry]

and if i cant tame a really high level dino, would taming low level and then leveleing them up then then hatching and leveling their babies get them to higher max level?

[hollow mesa]

ik their's rock drakes on fjordur

[river wolf]

no

[hollow mesa]

FOK

[river wolf]

queens are exclusively on aberration and genesis part 2

[hollow mesa]

screw abberation, genesis im coming for you

[river wolf]

nope. babies inherit the base stats, not stats post leveling or imprint

[hollow mesa]

...no confirmation of reapers being on any community maps before ark 2?

[river wolf]

nope.

[hollow mesa]

genesis

welp imma see how much it is for the season pass

[river wolf]

for all we know, queens might never come to free maps. fjordur is probably the last.

[zealous leaf]

Anyone still having the issue not being able to load in

[hollow mesa]

thought there was talk about that mod map titan

being the last map before ark 2

[river wolf]

havent seen any confirmation from the devs.

that being said, genesis is amazing. you should get it if you can.

[hollow mesa]

it costs $11 for 3months

genesis 1 and 2

[river wolf]

thats not the genesis season pass then

all the paid maps are permanent

[hollow mesa]

scorched, abberation, extinction are permanent i have them

[river wolf]

yeah and so is genesis.

[hollow mesa]

i have to pay seasonally for the genesis

nah its playstation :I

[river wolf]

the hell

[hollow mesa]

im reading it on the playstore rn

[river wolf]

genuinely never heard of genesis being paid after the initial buying whatsoever

[sullen hatch]

it's called "season pass" but it's still permanent

@fringe rover did something happen to playstation

[hollow mesa]

okie the playstore description isnt the best

something about skins ig?

[sullen hatch]

the skins are permanent too

[hollow mesa]

idk if it is permanent or not

[river wolf]

skins should be permanent too unless you mean like boss reward skin

[bleak shadow]

Skins are permament, i have them

[hollow mesa]

alr imma get it

wait why is genesis 1 and 2 $11

but extinction was like $20

[bleak shadow]

Why not?

[hollow mesa]

your right . 3 .

[river wolf]

iirc, genesis pass is more expensive than the normal season pass

[bleak shadow]

the publisher decides how much it costs

[river wolf]

11$ for genesis pass is a steal tho.

[hollow mesa]

all the other dlc's must be overpriced on ps so the last dlc gets a discount lol

aight imma buy it

then i can finally get canoe's legally and not with creative mode

[bleak shadow]

All maps werw cost 20$ each, Genesis pass were cost like i Remember 35$

[river wolf]

canoes are on fjordur and lost island too

[bleak shadow]

Probably discount 11$ now

[hollow mesa]

(australian dollar) $11.99

i dont count the 99cents because my brain to lazy to calculate 1 extra cent

it makes no sence-

[bleak shadow]

Cheap worth to buy,

[hollow mesa]

tbh im tired imma buy it tommorow to save buying some cheapskate dungeon game

[covert belfry]

oh damn

Will there be a fix or not no need to keep the game of I can't get online

[marsh moth]

is infiniteweight frowned upon? i always use it whenever im playing since i find it tedious.

[plain stag]

Play how you want on your server

[river wolf]

depends on who you ask but in the end its on you to decide whats crossing the line. if you dont like limited weight, then play how you want.

[marsh moth]

alright, was just wondering. thanks for answering!

[warm path]

Should you imprint when breeding

[marsh moth]

definitely, it gives a really good boost to the dino

[warm path]

Ok

[river wolf]

imprint doesnt pass onto offspring btw, so its useless if youre breeding for mutations and arent going to use it for anything except breeding

[molten falcon]

So imprinting would only be useful on the mutated baby is what you're saying?

[marsh moth]

pretty much, the mutated baby is the one you wanna get imprint on

since thats the one that you'll be using for whatever you're gonna have it do

[river wolf]

no. its only useful on the end product that you actually want to use. the rest, used just for breeding, dont need imprinting

say you just finished your 20 melee mutation line, that 20 melee baby doesnt need imprint but its offspring that youre going to hypothetically use in a bossfight will need imprint.

nor will 19th melee mutation, or the 18th and so on until you get to the wild, base stats.

[molten falcon]

[slow basalt]

does anyone know if its possible to host a ps4 server on my pc? I'm trying to play with my friend on ps4 and would like to host the server on my pc so I won't need to worry about the tether or performance as much but everywhere I'm looking just says to get nitrado or some other service

[marsh moth]

i'm not sure if ps4 is cross compatible with pc, i don't think it is

[slow basalt]

I don't mean to play on pc, I'm gonna play on my ps4 I just wanna know if I can host the server using my pc

[marsh moth]

ohh. i still don’t think you can, since from my knowledge ps4 can’t play on pc servers unless im mistaken.

[pine token]

Right

The closest I've seen to that is someone owning two playstations, and dedicating one of them to hosting the game for online ps play. Worked pretty well for me as a player a year ago or so. They were able to host a dozen or so concurrent players iirc.

I didn't even realize how they were set up, initially, felt like playing on any other kind of server

[primal cove]

How to find your tribe ID if you're not admin of server?

[pine token]

I'm not sure, but if you aren't using it in a command then why would you need it?

[golden pollen]

Is there something allows you to edit your characters proportions/gender after creation?

[covert belfry]

can someone help me? i have a stryder on a map but when i go to fast travel to it the bed icon doesnt appear? even though the stryder is still alive

[wise oriole]

So how hard is this survive the ark mission on gen 2. I'm playing official pve. Solo.

[stiff topaz]

@rancid mason i summon thee

[obtuse herald]

Not really a ark question but I wonder why people can start dedicated servers so easy and when I do it all it does is pop up a command prompt

[foggy field]

i am wondering why every wyvern but fire can no longer breed on ragnarok

[pine token]

Are you in singleplayer?

(or non-dedicated)

[rancid mason]

doing survive the ark on alpha solo is one of the more difficult tasks in the game, and requires some amount of knowledge.

there are two main ways to do it:

• the boring way, which i don't know much about, and involves having a lot of armor and taking advantage of damage reduction and amplification as much as you can
• the fun way, which i know a lot about and have done, and is cheap, but is extremely difficult

i can elaborate about the fun way if you want, i also have a youtube video showing how i did it (linked on my profile)

[zenith solar]

Cant you just go like all melee tons of flak and brews or glitch gigas in

[wise oriole]

What do you mean you can take items into it

oh my days im a moron

[sudden night]

so I am probably going to restart my fjordur playtrough, I started on the default spawning location on the bottom left island, but I was completely blocked in by mountains making traveling hell, quickly draining my motivation to play, is the default spawn location just bad or what?

also am I the weird one for refusing to use the R menu teleport? (at least at the start)

[molten falcon]

How do I play?

[rancid mason]

gigas don't glitch in to my knowledge (it's not like the other gauntlet missions)

i'm pretty sure the boring, normal way of doing it does involve going all melee but with weight so you can still move around

[pine token]

Bottom left as in near the Vardiland South - W teleport location? If so, that's right next to a cave entrance, and you should theoretically be able to run through that cave and reach the other entrance, bringing you to a decent area. @sudden night

Oh I see, you weren't specifically talking about that spot. But still, the location I mentioned is near both a tp point and a spawn point, iirc

[untold crow]

Does anyone know of a mod that adds the Alpha Spawns back to Fjordur? I think Wildcard went overboard when they nerfed them, and now I'm not seeing them spawn anywhere

[sudden night]

so I restarted in fjordur now but despite me deleting the savefile I kept my map progress from the last playtrough, any way to get rid of that too?

[carmine rapids]

https://www.dododex.com/stat-calculator/baryonyx/140?&ph=20&ps=18&pf=28&pw=23&pd=22
this looks bad but how bad is it really?

only using the bary for the upper south cave

[sudden night]

am I wrong is are boomerangs just vastly superior to wooden clubs when starting

[sour sphinx]

i just lost all my dinos cuz my game crashed when i pulled them out of an obelisk is there any way to get them back?

[naive dust]

It’s caused by a flyer mod usually

[plain stag]

Make sure that you are not using the stat calculator for tamed dinos. It only works for wilds.

[hollow mesa]

where do tropical wyverns have their nest on crystal isles

[carmine rapids]

@plain stag those were KO stats on the wild dino

[plain stag]

Good, many try using it for after tame and it doesn't work. As to the bary, it's pretty low stats.

[carmine rapids]

yeah just gonna pump melee and health

only use is going to be running upper south cave

need 2 more tho for my friends

[valid lava]

i hate the ark server restarts

i died and lost 9 gigas, 10 rexes, and 10 stegos, because i was going to raid a base and i died from a guy on a argy and died then tyhe update happend and my loot bag dissapered

[molten falcon]

it's bugged, tropical heirs don't lay eggs

the rest do

[sudden night]

wow I just restarted my fjordur playtrough

im 2 hours deep and this is by far my best start I've ever had in any map

[rare berry]

Does anyone know if there are any mods out there that are similar to Tiia's color scanner, but show all colors in general, not just mutations or rare ones?

[pliant hill]

Playing split scren with my brother

My character is not deleted as it exist unconscious in the world (lost island)
But everytime i hit options on the controller to log in as my character. The game forces me to loads me as brother's character. Then ask my brother (who is host) to create new character. While my chracter still exist unconscious. How do i load into mine??
Never had this happen before.

Also if he hits respawns it put him bacl as his but kicks me off and ask if i want to create a character. Hitting respawn on me then repeats the same issue

Nvm turned ps4 off and on and it worked properly

[hollow mesa]

Bruh the same thing happens to me

i didnt know restarting it works

[tough jolt]

i set dino limit level to 500 but it seems it doesnt cap at 500, it lets me level past, anyone know why?

[naive dust]

Do they persist after server restart?

Assuming you’re not talking about max wild level

[tough jolt]

yeah sorry talkin about tamed, lets me go to so far 524

[naive dust]

Run a restart and see what happens to the tame above cap

If it persists through server restart you did something wrong

[tough jolt]

yeah i prob did something wrong, i did this a bit ago just remembered to ask about it

[rare berry]

I know I meed exceptional kibble in order to tame a theri, but will they only eat kibble made from specific eggs?

[naive dust]

Egg type doesn’t matter with kibble anymore. It’s all sized base so if it’s exceptional kibble your fine. You can also use crops and berries to tame a Theri if you didn’t know.

[silver plover]

Can you get rock drakes on crystal isles?

[naive dust]

No

[rare berry]

@naive dust yeah. I know that I can use berries. But kibble is faster.

[naive dust]

So much faster. Berry taming Theri sucks.

[rare berry]

Yeah, especially when all the animal food drain is longer than default.

I wish there was a version of the kibble vending machine that just had one of each type of kibble instead of all the different kinds of eggs

[molten falcon]

Does anyone else have problems making an alliance?

Idk when i create an alliance and type in the name, it doesnt appear in any way

[naive dust]

There are settings to enable and disable alliances

[molten falcon]

[molten falcon]

is it a genesis variant or a dinopithecus

they can go 50 levels over

[agile crow]

If it's a pvp server and offline raid protection is on, then alliances are disable

[naive dust]

Do you use mods?

[somber plover]

Yes

[naive dust]

Try loading into a new map without any mods and see if it happens. If it doesn’t happen then a mod is causing the problem. You’ll have to load mods in one at a time until it crashes again, meaning the last mod added is the culprit.

[sullen hatch]

you can do it using binary search too, remove half the mods and try, if it doesn't crash then try with the other half
if it crashes then remove half the mods again and repeat

depending on the number of mods that could save you a lot of time

[somber plover]

Well i only had 1 mod, ACM, loaded

removed it and it seems to have fixed it

[stiff topaz]

Yeah ACM is buggy and outdated af afaik

[somber plover]

Well thank you guys very much

it wont fly it teleports back when i get off

yes i can move up and down

[unkempt mesa]

what are the best dino's to kill the island dragon without transfering things like deinonychus

[charred vale]

good stats therizino

[unkempt mesa]

how high stats like 20k hp and 500m

[carmine rapids]

prob 30k hp 6-700m and veggie cakes

[rare berry]

I don't suppose anyone here is on Eco's discord server? I can't seem to figure out how to get access to any of the channels.

[sullen hatch]

21k hp @unkempt mesa , any more and you're just making things more difficult
I'd say 1-1.2k% melee

veggie cake healing cap at 21k hp, dragon fire's % damage has no cap

[naive dust]

Anytime you use Theri you want 21k health and the rest into melee. The reason for this is the cap on the veggie cakes. They heal 10% or 2100 max whenever they lose more than 10% hp. Anything over 21k cause them to trigger slower and heal less.

[carmine rapids]

1.k melee seems kinda overkill

[sullen hatch]

it's what I've seen work first hand
and assuming he's talking alpha dragon

[sullen hatch]

iirc they eat it when they're below 80%, might be wrong on that though

[naive dust]

I’ve beat alpha dragon with 36 base health and melee theris. A lot of recommendations here are gonna be overboard. You don’t need 100+ base stats to beat any alpha boss. Your saddles are far more important.

[sullen hatch]

you can get 1k melee with like ~80 points

and yeah I was assuming engram saddles

[sullen hatch]

it doesn't heal less per se, but just the % healing becomes a flat 2100 healing, while dragon keeps doing more damage
there's no problem with doing this with bosses like the megapithecus or broodmother, only the dragon because of its % based damage

[naive dust]

Also if you take 2-3 mate boosted shadowmane into the fight even the alpha dragons fire becomes laughable. Their thornmail poison debuff is insanely powerful.

[carmine rapids]

yeah the saddles for us gonna be as max as they can be. and keep in mind its gonna be 19 theriz 1 yuty so

[naive dust]

Get 21k health on each, pump the rest into melee. Give 5-10 cakes each and keep them out of the lava and you’ll walk out with the win.

[tough estuary]

Anyone on ps4 with a thyla tryna get higher lvl but can’t tame one as they are hard. P.S tryna kill titanosaur

[naive dust]

I shouldn’t say less healing. I should say less effective healing.

[sullen hatch]

yeah it's just less relative to the max health is all, which doesn't matter for island bosses apart from the dragon

[naive dust]

Exactly

I’d really like to drive home shadowmanes and their effectiveness in the dragon fight though.

[sullen hatch]

eh in this case they specified island only
I'm not one to recommend shadowmanes very often because of the cheese with boss aggro you can do with them, and also considering how much harder they are to tame compared to theris or rexes

[naive dust]

Seriously just 2 of them will negate nearly half of the bosses damage. Even percent based attacks like the fire.

[naive dust]

I didn’t see that they said island only

[sullen hatch]

here,

without transfering things

[naive dust]

Yeah I didn’t go up that far

[carmine rapids]

yeah we have the good melee theriz rn just need good health theriz to breed em

[hollow mesa]

im gonna sound dumb

what does a skiff do

[river wolf]

in a nutshell, flying tek raft that can also pick up things as big as a bronto and remove their ability to attack

[hollow mesa]

wait the tek skiff can pick up anything

like enemy creatures?

and stop them from attacking?

[naive dust]

Anything with a carry weight of 1500 or lower

[hollow mesa]

do u have to lower the tek skiff to the ground and make it walk onto it

or is there some sort of traction beam like a ufo

[river wolf]

literally a traction beam like a ufo

[naive dust]

No. It’s got a tractor beam. It’ll even hold wilds up so you can tranq them solo

[hollow mesa]

thought so theres a camera thing underneath em

[naive dust]

Tractor beam*

[hollow mesa]

what map do i get the skiff

its on genesis 2 isnt it-

[naive dust]

Gen 1 gamma will give it

[hollow mesa]

ooooooh

time to get me some ferox

is the abberation cave on valguero worth going to btw

not for a base, for tames

its just like a 1v1 server and idk whats down there except a lack of reapers and rock drakes

[river wolf]

karkinos and ravagers are pretty important

[plush swift]

are ferox on fjordur tamable?

[hollow mesa]

what do ravagers do

[hollow mesa]

yes, but idk where your gonna find element from

[river wolf]

weight

[hollow mesa]

ravager weight?

[river wolf]

they have more weight than argys without levels (past 27ths tamed level with both same base stats, argy has more) and can go through double doorframes. great for transporting 3 giga tons of resources inside your base since they also have weight reduction

[hollow mesa]

a ravager?

[river wolf]

yes.

[hollow mesa]

your telling me a dog has the strength capacity to lug a house

i dont really need weighty creatures... i already have 3 bases scattered across the map

[river wolf]

thats not very shocking when you realize the ark character has the capability to lug a house themself.

[hollow mesa]

whst does krab do

ik he holds 2 anky's but apart from that

[agile crow]

He jump

[hollow mesa]

krab jump?

[agile crow]

Kreb Jump.

[hollow mesa]

krab no jump when wild.

[river wolf]

i feel like you arent getting my point for ravagers
theyre in base transporation, for getting 3 billion metal in a short distance from point a to b.
karkinos is land quetz but actually good, better than argy for farming.

[brazen robin]

krab waiting for the right person to jump with

[hollow mesa]

okay i will look into getting a ravager for metal transfers

[agile crow]

All seriousness, aside from rock drakes, krabs can probably maneauver around Ab the best

[brazen robin]

out of the ones on ab :P reaper is also pretty good

[hollow mesa]

dienonychus:

[agile crow]

https://tenor.com/view/crab-rave-crabrave-dance-funny-gif-21558551

[agile crow]

They don't spawn naturally on Ab

[hollow mesa]

ik

[brazen robin]

maewing is the best off of ab

[river wolf]

karkinos jump has another nice effect, theyre just as fast even if theyre on the verge of being encumbured.

[agile crow]

[hollow mesa]

so the like 0.5 weight off being encumbered and they go max speed?

[river wolf]

no because if theyre actually encumbured then they cant jump

[hollow mesa]

ig it is a krab

[agile crow]

They can also yeet things super far. So grab an anky and yeet it back to base full of metal

[hollow mesa]

lmao

[river wolf]

i forgor the % of weight when a dino is considered encumbured, but as long as its below that then youre just as fast as if you didnt have anything on it when jumping

[marsh moth]

just hope you don't miss your shot and throw it into an alpha basilisk lmao

[river wolf]

thats a blessing, alpha basilisks dont exist

[marsh moth]

true

either way that anky's probably gonna die unless you have cryo's

[hollow mesa]

alpha carchar.

[agile crow]

Also since ankys and doeds autoswing, you can hold one in each hand and go gathering like mad

[river wolf]

i once threw my doedic and anky so high they landed on one of the big crystals on ab roof lmao

[sullen hatch]

once threw my anky into a pack of ravagers pretty early game
it took 90 trillion years to find that thing to tame, I wasn't going to lose it that quickly

[agile crow]

https://tenor.com/view/ight-imma-head-out-ark-crab-karkinos-gif-26646652

[brazen robin]

they only autoswing to 50% tho :P very sad

[hollow mesa]

there is no telling when day time and night time is when yourbin the caves of ab is there?

[river wolf]

what

open extended hud, it shows time and if on ab, season.

[brazen robin]

it says the time in the extended hud. no idea how on playstation :P

[hollow mesa]

oh im stupid lmao

[agile crow]

You can by holding open the detailed hud. (H on PC, dunno about rest)

[river wolf]

also you can kind of tell njght and day based on how dark it is in the caves

[hollow mesa]

for console its u hold down whatever the map button is

abberation raptors can pin u down right

[agile crow]

Yes

[hollow mesa]

can tamed abberant raptors pin enemies down?

[agile crow]

Tamed any raptor can

[river wolf]

all tamed ones can

[hollow mesa]

even normals

[agile crow]

Yip

[river wolf]

corrupted and i think brute raptors can also pin you.

[hollow mesa]

...im still gonna get abberant raptors cuz they glow

[river wolf]

x raptors look epic-er

[brazen robin]

I went to the forest realm on fjordur and got pinned by a raptor and died 😂

[hollow mesa]

i feel like abberant raptors are bigger then normal ones as well

[river wolf]

theyre not.

also if you didnt know, jumping mid pounce animation causes your player to dash forward and thus avoid the pounce.

[sullen hatch]

tek or nuthin'

[hollow mesa]

every time your not running his only getting closer.

[brazen robin]

that doesn't work if you are on a dino

[river wolf]

theres a tooltip for it but you get such a small timeframe that most people dont notice.

well, status effect

[hollow mesa]

is abberant spino worth collecting

or abberant sarcho

[brazen robin]

if you are on ab, yes

[river wolf]

just as good as normal

[brazen robin]

they do more damage and have less health

[hollow mesa]

im on valguero abberation zone

[plush swift]

im not sure yet but i think the overlevel ferox might be tamable

[hollow mesa]

expedition through the abberation zone on val for tames

so spino's do more dmg abberant

[brazen robin]

4% less health, 6% more damage.

[hollow mesa]

hmmmm

sarcho?

[brazen robin]

all ab varients

[hollow mesa]

ah

sad theres no abberation carno

i've litterally got a list infront of me of what i wanna tame lmao

[ancient hemlock]

how many separation gachas needs

[river wolf]

wiki

[hollow mesa]

so i built a catapult for karkinos taming... i googled what ammo it takes... and i cant craft this ammo

even in creative mode on my solo server

[marsh moth]

have you learned the engram?

i believe that it only takes 30 stone and 3 iron so theres no map exlusive items

[charred vale]

u have to craft it inside the catapult

[hollow mesa]

in the creative menu i searched "boulder" "spike" "metal"

[hollow mesa]

the catapult has a crafting menu

noted

[sand dune]

hello my friend is on epic games and iam on steam

how can we play together

[sullen hatch]

either hosting or renting a dedicated server, or playing on a public server

[sand dune]

yes we are trying to play on a public modded server

but the server name isnt showing up for him

[sullen hatch]

epic games can't play with mods

[sand dune]

ahh shit

[sudden night]

how common are thylacoleo's in fjordur geez, I've seen like 10+ of them in the first 5 minutes I entered the redwood and snow biome

[plain stag]

Fairly common.

[sudden night]

surprised none of them came from trees yet

thought I just barely survived a thylo attack, bleed kills me a second later when I get on my mount >_>

wait maewings swim a lot? I found a lake with like 5 of them underwater in it

[agile crow]

Intended by Nekatus. He never made any spawn points for them in trees

[naive dust]

For real?

[plush swift]

so im stacking 10 mele and 10 helath on deinonychus, and im wondering if they alone wuld be enught to take out any world bosses on fjordur

also single player settings

[naive dust]

Depends on what their base stats are and their saddles. But nonys can usually kill anything they can attach to.

[plush swift]

its gonna be 49 helath and 52 mele but dont have a sadle bp

[crimson basin]

so were playing ark with friend (on valguero), just a normal game with 5 mods (awesome spyglass, PALEO ark, S+, ARK Additions, Kraken's BD), after 2 days my world sends me an error and i cant join, creating new world, same problem, i have a SS of an error i get, i hope i can get it fixed

[naive dust]

If you have something tanking you can probably kill them. Most things can’t hit them when they’re latched but I think they need a rider for that. Bleed should stack either way and that’s all that matters really.

[agile crow]

Yes

[plush swift]

culd a tanky mamgmasur with solid health work?

but then again it does have friendly fire

[steady imp]

rename player renames player but dinos still show tamed by old name
transferallimprints works but still shows tamed by old players name

[naive dust]

That’s not gonna change

[plain stag]

Should be a setimprintedplayer command or something similar, or if using mods, dino storage v2 has an option and can transfer imprints to whomever traps the dino and releases it.

[naive dust]

He’s trying to change the name of who tamed it.

[timber dove]

disable taming for specific dinos, but not removing them from the game

[signal steeple]

Is it possible to create a dedicated server with Radmin VPN(It works just like Hamachi) without using Ark Server Manager?

[plain stag]

Oh tames, sorry yeah idk.

[spice flower]

Hi - I raised a wyvern and I have 100% imprint on her and it's buffed for me. Although, for my friends, when they ride her, the buff is gone and they deal less damage. Any way to change it?

[plain stag]

They'll need to imprint their own wyverns unless you want to use an admin command every time someone else wants to ride the wyvern.

Or use mods.

[spice flower]

whats the command

[plain stag]

SetImprintedPlayer <NewImprinterName> <playerID>

[spice flower]

and it changes wyvern forever? like I can set friendX to always be imprinted to that wyvern?

[slender ferry]

You can also change it to tribe imprint in server settings

[brazen robin]

thats just for when they are getting imprint. imprint is still just the single person :P

[plain stag]

It would be much simpler for each to have their own wyverns, but you'd have to do it each time a different person wanted to ride the wyvern.

[brazen robin]

dino storage does it right? switches the imprint to whoever lets it out?

[plain stag]

That only means that anyone in the tribe can imprint the dino. The original imprinted player stays the same.

[plain stag]

Yes.

[spice flower]

yes but lets say we have 4 wyverns already and they are imprinted to me. Can I set each wyvern to each player forever or will I need to change it every single time

[plain stag]

You can change each wyvern in that case

[brazen robin]

it switches forever.

[sudden night]

does anyone have the .ini file line for increasing the stack size of honey

[plain stag]

Check the pinned messages here or in #unofficial-setup-help.

[signal steeple]

Non-dedicated server with -preventhibernation, works the same as on a dedicated server, but with host distance?

[brazen robin]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_Honey_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=10,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))
if you just want to do honey

[sudden night]

I know but having to figure out the exact line is the problem

[brazen robin]

there are some bugs and quirks. but you can play multiplayer yes.

[sudden night]

thank you

[slender ferry]

It worked for my tribe on non-dedicated PS4 but might’ve been bugged at the time or smth

[signal steeple]

My friend doesn't want to install ASM, so I have no choice but to play Non-Dedicated, I don't know if it's possible to configure a normal Dedicated Server to work with Radmin VPN IP via .ini files?

[plain stag]

Doubtful, the server setting does not change the imprinted player, it never has.

[brazen robin]

you don't need ASM to host a dedi and only the host would need to
I don't know if VPNs work with servers either 🤷 they would cause lag if they did.

[signal steeple]

I know, only my friend would use ASM, I don't have enough Ram xD, Radmin VPN works exactly the same as Hamachi, so imagine it's Hamachi

[brazen robin]

if you using it to join via a simulated lan connection it will work but clusters can be a little weird.

[signal steeple]

ok, ty!

[covert belfry]

i got an error and game crashed now couple of my mods are just gone even from steam library and i cant even find it on steam library anymore

mainly its the dino storage v2 mod

[stiff topaz]

Maybe steam's having issues again, i got a comment on a mod 15min ago saying they 'couldn't add it'..

[covert belfry]

its just gone ot only my stored dinos but also everything to do with the mod even from steam its just pood

[stiff topaz]

mmmm

[covert belfry]

dont start the game whoever has dino storage installed

[stiff topaz]

Steam's having issues 🙃

[covert belfry]

it will crash the game and ruin everything

[stiff topaz]

it's a steam issue. nothing at all to do with ds.

[stiff topaz]

What map?

[covert belfry]

everymap

the mods gone from my game

and everything to do with the mod is gone with it

[stiff topaz]

What map did you load.

[covert belfry]

the island

[stiff topaz]

you can just revert to a backup.

[covert belfry]

i was also moving from valguro and it just crashed and this happened

[stiff topaz]

Go to steamapps>Common>Ark>Shootergame>Saved. Back up Saved

[molten falcon]

hello

[covert belfry]

kk mod is back and thanks for the backup tip

[stiff topaz]

Then delete TheIsland.ark, rename NewLaunchBackup.bak to TheIsland.ark. Your shit will be back whenever steam sorts itself out

[sudden night]

I swear everytime I try to tame a yuty those damn dinos manage to become the most annoying thing in the world

they never cooperate in any damn way

they usually tend to drown themselves or some other shenanigans

_>

[river wolf]

try nets and building a trap over them

[sudden night]

to be fair its also kinda my fault for taming high tier shit before having access to a fabricator

[covert belfry]

welp all my dinos are even gone from the backups on all maps lol

i hate this always online stuff

[stiff topaz]

If they're not in backups, that means the mod still isnt loaded

Or, you've not loaded the correct backup. The backups get overwritten fairly frequently (which is why you backup Saved before loading any)

[covert belfry]

oh oh

i forgot to load mod when starting again damn

thanks man

[crimson basin]

^^^

[covert belfry]

recovered everything on all maps 😄

[sudden night]

I love it when you are making cryopods, forgot oil and you cant find any tek creatures nearby

[steady imp]

sad

[stiff topaz]

Send crashn msg

[covert belfry]

damn i tamed a 108 level baryonyx and now its 211 level and it has 15k hp and 550% meele

and its damn faster then rex

[plain stag]

Please remember to move non help conversations to another channel, such as #ark-survival-ascended or #general.

[covert belfry]

ok

[spice flower]

37 attack in egg for rock drake (190lvl which is max here) is good?

[pine token]

That's a few points into the "High" range, according to the Dododex. Melee may not be the most important stat to consider, though, depending on what you're using the Drake for.

I personally consider stamina and health to be a bit more important on a Drake

[sudden night]

is it possible to tame mantises with raw/spoiled meat? the wiki and dododex only mention deathworm/rhino horns but my spyglass mod says meat works too

[stiff topaz]

awesome spyglass is incredibly unreliable for taming info.

[sudden night]

to be honest so far its been 99% accurate for me

[stiff topaz]

i've gotten too many 'bug reports' on spawn mods because of it.

[crimson fulcrum]

Yeah I've never noticed it to be particularly inaccurate, interesting.

[stiff topaz]

Abnormal tames are obviously going to be higher risk of inaccuracies, but these are not the only creatures i've seen issue with.

[copper socket]

It keeps telling me “disconnected from server” when trying to load in

[stiff topaz]

indeed nope.

[stiff topaz]

welp here's an example

[crimson fulcrum]

I certainly didn't doubt it by any means. 😄

I try to avoid using it as much as I love it, so OP and I don't have the self control to nerf it a smidge. Lol

[stiff topaz]

I like having spyglasses, but AS is 'too much' for me personally

I definitely get the appeal of having all the important info Right There, but i prefer the simplicity of Super spyglass + Colour Scanner

[crimson fulcrum]

Makes sense, yeah.

[sudden night]

any way to increase the speed at which you can pick up buildings? its annoying to hold the button a second if you gotta pick up a ton of building pieces

[stiff topaz]

StructurePickupHoldDuration in GUS

[sudden night]

also I found a castle I am going to live in, on the fjordur map

but is there any way I can build my base directly parralel to one of the walls?

I just cant get it perfectly straight

[pine token]

Is Structures + an option on your server? It includes a great pickup tool.

[tawny tendon]

What are all the buttons for all the shadowmain

For ps4 btw

[stiff topaz]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Shadowmane#Abilities

[hasty wolf]

Learning is part of the fun, especially when youre on one of the best land mounts in the game

[tawny tendon]

I can’t fingure out the roar thing

I pressed all the buttons too

[hasty wolf]

I think it can only be used when its mate boosted

[tawny tendon]

Do I have to hold one?

[tawny tendon]

I just got a lvl 145 male and lvl 150 female

So I should be able to use it. Right?

[hasty wolf]

Try L2

[molten falcon]

Should I do broodmother with megatherium that have ascendant saddles

Or do I just do rexes or smthin

[long juniper]

depends on the dino

stats

[molten falcon]

Okay uhh theoretically how about 30k hp and 1k melee on all of em

[long juniper]

are the imprinted

you can try, never used megatherium

I have always used rexes

but some ppl say you can use the mega

[molten falcon]

Yes

[molten falcon]

Is 32 points into health good for a rex?

(wild)

[fringe rover]

Extremely good yes

[wise oriole]

Downriver run, alpha. Any advice? I don't hit rocks and get all the boosters and im still failing. Sometimes my canoe just breaks for no reason, and no, I don't hit the edge gravel either. It's either too slow, or my canoe breaks.

[pale hawk]

Alpha is a hard one. Keyboard makes it way easier as you can continuously row forward and adjust left and right without losing momentum. When it comes to canoe breaking there are some rocks underwater that are hard to see specially towards the end after the sharp left turn.

[tawny tendon]

What boss are Rex’s good against

Also is there a way to get a better shadowmain saddle

[wise oriole]

shadowmanes have natural armor

[tawny tendon]

Ik

But like is there a way to get a better saddle

Mine has a 80%

[fringe rover]

No.

[tawny tendon]

Oh

What’s the best saddle it can get?

[naive dust]

80 but coupled with their thornmail poison they have incredible defense

[fringe rover]

80%

[tawny tendon]

So I have the best?

[fringe rover]

It scales with lvl and caps at lvl 150

Yes, altho its extremely easy to get 80%

[tawny tendon]

I have a breed pair 1 is 150 other 145

[tawny tendon]

Can shoulder pets breed?

[pine token]

Yes

Same process

[tawny tendon]

Ok

Last question, what’s the best shoulder pet

Mostly for pvp but if u want recommend a pve one too

[pine token]

I'm partial to shinehorns mostly because they bleet excitedly when you jump/swoop/etc.

I know, that's not a great answer. My take on shoulder pets is they have different uses, so depends on what you're doing

[naive dust]

Fjordhawk is undisputed in PvP

[versed ice]

I'm not new I've just never encountered this problem before. My crafting menu is all over place when usually It's in order by the engrams you unlock. Can anyone help me?

[pine token]

I'm not sure what you're experiencing tbh

[naive dust]

Did you happen to use gcm recently?

[versed ice]

sorry got it figured out i had a mod on that fucked it all up

[wise oriole]

About to finish up the gamma gen2 missions, just wondering before i build the exo mek, is it tranferrable across arks

[tawdry canyon]

exo mek can be podded just like any tame.

[wise oriole]

Noice

ty

[celest oxide]

Can someone help me, I have ark
On my pc and created a single player world and set the difficulty to be 6, all is fine but when i get on the next day it says the difficulty is 1.0

[modern drift]

You need to play with the ini to get it above 1.0. Eclipse explains it in the second last pin of this channel.

[celest oxide]

so umm can you help me
