[sudden night]

I tamed a dunky that got stuck on the shore

went into the water at attempt #2, it didnt stand a goddamn chance

was a 145 dunky pre-tame btw

literally only reason I am surviving now is because the sarco is fast (I still have no chance in combat) and because my spyglass mod gives creature outlines so I can see where everything is, because its insanely dark here too

didnt find any crates yet either. -.

[plain stag]

Please remember to move non help conversations to another channel, so we can keep this one on topic.

[sudden night]

were talking about how to survive the fjordur ocean, I think its pretty on topic honestly

[plain stag]

Longer conversations that are not directly help related can be moved to #ark-survival-ascended. Thanks.

[covert belfry]

i tried abrattion and got pawned a lot had to cheat my way out of there now should i go to genesis , genesis 2 or extinction?

[plain stag]

The easiest out of those 3 would likely be genesis 2. You start out with a tek suit and can just fly away if needed, without cheating.

[covert belfry]

i also want to gather gems and element

[plain stag]

You can do that on Genesis 2, the lunar biome changes daily.

[covert belfry]

oh kk thanks man

i had the smae problem what i did was tamed a 140 lvl baryonix and then used it to get a basilsaur these two tames can go against most things underwater

[sudden night]

were you playing on fjordur tho

[serene parrot]

Ichthyosaurus are meant to be quick in the water too. I have not tested this for myself though

[upper narwhal]

is this normal to loose a character while using tek transmiter -_-

was trying to join a gen2 server... but got random disconnect between that intro thingi..

now I cant find my survivor anywhere 😦

[covert belfry]

no

[spice flower]

97.5 weight base on fjordhawk is ok? It was 140 once tamed and I'm considering to breed it for my tribe

[sudden night]

weight has no effect on the ability of the fjordhawk btw

[spice flower]

so put all points into HP?

[rare berry]

I'm just curious, does the available mods list use any particular pattern for listing the mods, or is it arbitrary?

[molten falcon]

think it's arbitrary

every time i figure out a pattern something breaks it

as for enabled mods, some things matter for that

like remaps, higher mods in load order get remap priority

[rare berry]

@molten falcon uhhh I hate Ark's mod manager system even more now. I know that the active mods are in order from first to last.

[molten falcon]

yeah

[marble stratus]

How Do You Turn This On?

[molten falcon]

turn what on?

(you can't send images here)

[marble stratus]

Age Of Empire 2 Cheat Code To Summon Cobra Car

xd

[molten falcon]

k

[covert belfry]

im at the lunar biome cant find any gems on genesis 2

[marble stratus]

u cant find on every biome , wait for obsidian biome , there may be one or more too but i used to farm on obsidian biome

[covert belfry]

oh

so every day ingame the resources on the flooting middle line in the map changes?

[marble stratus]

ingame time is different, every 24 hrs (ingame time) biome changes

24 hrs of ingame = very more than 24 min of real life

[rare berry]

Is there a way to permanently enable creative mode on a singleplayer map?

[covert belfry]

kk thanks

[molten falcon]

no

[rare berry]

That's stupid.

[stiff topaz]

all you need to do is press tab-up-enter when you load in, it's not really hard

it kinda tries to save gcm mode but it's buggy

[rare berry]

@stiff topaz unfortunately, that's easier said than done, since I only have reliable use of one hand. :c

[stiff topaz]

Ah, sorry to hear. There is an option that enables it on the pause menu iirc, not sure if that's easier?

[rare berry]

Yeah. That helps most of the time, except when you load in and are immediately attacked by terrors. Lol!

[stiff topaz]

You can disable wild dino damage

It doesn't work for quite everything, but it'll prevent most attacks

[rare berry]

I just built a simple building to do my tests. I'm trying to figure out which mod is giving me greif.

[stiff topaz]

What's the issue?

[narrow swift]

Anyone know how many vacuum compartments high do you need in order to teleport a tek stryder in?

[rare berry]

@stiff topaz When I add Additional Creatures 3 to my existing load order on my mp server, all of the blueprints disappear from Automatic Ark's smithy. But when I only have AC and AA, everything works fine. It's super weird.

Same issue on Sp

[stiff topaz]

That's.. bizarre as fuck. Maybe another mod is trying to add compatibility for the BPs and exploding somewhere along the way?
Are you doing the 'halve your list' method? It's fastest

[rare berry]

Yes indeed. However, I'm not familiar with that method.

Please enlighten me

[stiff topaz]

Pretty much, you wanna use the ActiveMods line in your INI. Cut half of the list out (except keep the mods you KNOW are affected). Load half the list. If there's no issue, you know that half is safe. Try the other half- if you get the issue in that half, you know it's one of those mods. Halve the affected half, and so on

Faster than loading each mod individually

[molten falcon]

additional creatures 3?

[rare berry]

Oh, I'm basically doing that. I meant 2, for some reason I keep thinking it's 3. Lol!

I loaded all of the mods up to where AA sits, and those mods where fine. I'm just adding about 7 mods at a time and loading the game up to see if any of those mods are causing the issue.

[sudden night]

can gachas eat directly out of crop plots? I heard feeding them plant species y is good

[hasty wolf]

only thing you need to uprgade on a fjordhawk is oxygen

those fuckers are tough

[sudden night]

welp I just tamed my first ever gachas! 4 of them even! (this one hill in fjordur in the green realm is bonkers for gacha spawns)

[ionic cliff]

anyone know a fix for the problem that extinction and gen1 maps keep reseting (as if I never spawned in them) everytime I close the game? I'm on steam

[rare berry]

Most of the animals in Additional Creatures 2 have saddles, right? I can't remember.

[slender ferry]

Are you manually exiting them and letting them finish saving?

[sudden night]

My plant species Y arent producing traps anymore, they have water and fertilizer, anyone got any idea why?

[sudden perch]

Is a yuty essential for the master controller fight?

[red olive]

Hmm, it's not strictly necessary, but if you are running it solo I would definitely recommend it

[stiff topaz]

useful for the first few sections, all but useless in the last, so.. eh

[hardy pier]

cant see other people messages in global chat on ark windows 10

[pine token]

Iirc no. But feeding can be automated with certain tech.

[molten falcon]

Hello
How can i pass the tribe ownership to my friend since i can't promote him from admin

[pine token]

I believe there is a transfer ownership function in the tribe manager. And if you leave the tribe whoever is next in line becomes owner. It's been a while, though, so I might be forgetting a detail.

[rare berry]

What does the ball on the flexible metal pipe indicate?

[brazen robin]

its the point you place. it connects to other pipes nearby.

[brazen python]

Hey guys. I'm returning to the game and just got a new Wyvern for the first time in years. Is there a reason it can't pick tames anymore? Or bug?

[merry wraith]

are you able to tame R-reapers with knockout taming? or does it still require becoming pregananant. i faintly remember kn taming one, but not sure if it was a bug that has been patched.

[merry wraith]

you gotta be literally on top of the creature you are wanting to pick up, thing is it can only pick things up that a quetz can.

[fringe rover]

Same method as regulars, ko doesn’t work

[pine token]

Possible they aren't your tames, or they're too big, or... you have your map or another item equipped on your character (fuzzy on that last one)

[molten falcon]

Thank you very much 😊

[polar sandal]

if you cryopod it whoever throws it out will own it reguardless of tribe.

[rare berry]

Are there easier parts of the swamp than others on the Center?

[ruby inlet]

There's one that's on the east coast of the island towards the mountain

[covert belfry]

well i have enagrams unlocked but they are showing locked in the fabricator how do i fix it?

[molten falcon]

Gasoline and turn it on it also needs power

[covert belfry]

i figured it out thhat one fabricator is bu8gged for some reason and slowly every enagram turrend locked for it a new fabricator works fine

[sullen hatch]

@shrewd vapor dragon is a boss, it doesn't spawn naturally anywhere
wyverns spawn on scorthed earth, yes

check wiki for spawn locations

[shrewd vapor]

thanks

[sudden night]

My plant species Y arent producing traps anymore, they have water and fertilizer, anyone got any idea why?

[wraith jetty]

Hey there. I just found and tamed a unicorn on PS4 and now I'm unsure what they actually eat besides carrots. Can I put berries in their inventory or will they only eat crops?
Dododex only lists kibble, crops and cake for them for taming. But I'm not sure if that's actually everything they eat.

[molten topaz]

They eat all crops, berrys and kibble

[sullen hatch]

you can feed them berries with any problem

[wraith jetty]

Great! I got plenty of berries. Thanks for the quick reply!

[molten topaz]

Takes long time to tame with berrys

[sullen hatch]

they're asking after taming I think

[wraith jetty]

Oh I already tamed it.

[molten topaz]

Oh okay

[wraith jetty]

Just don't want it to starve and I currently have only one plot for crops.

[molten topaz]

Yeah Berry definitely better as crops can be hard to get

Some maps if you don't have farm you can't get them

[wraith jetty]

Good to know! Thanks again ❤️

[sudden night]

any good fertilizer methods besides phiomia + beetles or toilets?

[naive dust]

Breed snow owls and you’ll never need fertilizer again

[sudden night]

I already am but I need them for gachas

[naive dust]

Feed the Gacha stone

[sudden night]

you need to use both

[naive dust]

No you don’t. I’ve never fed my Gacha anything but stone and it still pops crystals

You only feed them owl pellets if you want loot. They’ll still give you resources without pellets.

[sullen hatch]

eh, gacha loot is good to have anyway
but they don't eat much, just have like 3 snow owls per gacha and you're good

[sudden night]

misread mb

[sudden night]

I am using them for loot though

[naive dust]

Are Gacha loot is for me is an extra trip to the grinder

[sudden night]

I dont have access to any extinction or genesis level loot so this is the best I can do for now

especially because I am midgame

[tough jolt]

anyone know if the rare sighting mod, and shiny mod clash?

[sudden night]

whats the deal that if I place pillars on a fence foundation, and remove one pillar, there is like a 50% chance that one or more pillars next to it despite being completely unattached to eachother break themselves too?

[sudden night]

How good are fire arrows?

[sudden night]

any reason to tame an X creature over an R creature besides the X creatures maybe looking a bit better?

[sullen hatch]

only difference is looks and a slight stat difference, nothign else

[sudden night]

X and R creatures have the same stats sadly too

except when wild

[sullen hatch]

no, it's slightly different

ah nevermind, I was thinking of X and aberrant
yeah the only difference is the looks

[molten falcon]

How yo dinos doing

[naive dust]

I’ve lost 16 gigas 4 velons and a parasaur

[molten falcon]

all the suffering for nothing at all

[naive dust]

Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make- Lord Farquuad

[rare berry]

I guess I'm not 100% sure what area you are referring to.

Does anyone have a more specific description?

[tropic granite]

okay so... 1- best tame to steal rock drake eggs? 2- best way to get pregnant by a reaper queen and safely making it back? 3- Best way to kill reapers?

[naive dust]

Maewing, reaper trap, strong tame.

[sullen hatch]

ew maewing

[tropic granite]

should have specified, an abberation tame

[deft zodiac]

*aberration 🤣

[sudden night]

Does dropping your inventory and then picking it back up if it has a wyvern egg in it trigger wyverns? I just did that and an entire group of wyverns attacked me suddenly

[sullen hatch]

yes

[sudden night]

___>

[tropic meteor]

[sudden night]

hope I dont lose my snow owl but it looks dire

this is so stupid

what an annoying glitch

[tropic meteor]

don’t think that’s a glitch, that’s just what happens when you pick up a wyvern egg

[sudden night]

I mean I got it from my own inventory, thats just dumb

oh great now my best snow owl died because it wouldnt flee despite being on passive flee

I really often have issues with snow owl AI, its so weird

[tropic meteor]

[sudden night]

time to spend another hour breeding one I guess

now the issue is how am I going to get my loot back because apparently just picking up my inventory will aggro the wyverns again

[rocky jewel]

Yo @sudden night you on official pvp?

[sudden night]

no

why

[rocky jewel]

I dont think if you pick up your entire inventory it will aggro. Only if you drop the actual egg

[rocky jewel]

Smalls?

[sudden night]

nah I am on singleplayer

[rocky jewel]

O damn nice man

[sudden night]

no I picked up my entire inventory at once and that triggered the wyverns

[sudden night]

why do you ask btw

[rocky jewel]

I'm just looking for people to play with

[rocky jewel]

Rip

[sudden night]

lost my best snow owl :(

anyways I just grabbed my inventory again; it does indeed trigger wyverns if you grab your inventory if that inventory has an egg in it

[sudden night]

are high level mantises rare or something? I am only finding very low level ones on fjordur despite them being very common

[sullen hatch]

#735196255483068497

[sullen hatch]

yes

[sullen hatch]

nah, just luck being luck

[sudden night]

mustve seen over 100 of them

only one was over 140 but had terrible stat points ;l

[sudden night]

still going, this is getting absurd

[covert belfry]

are the caves not made for single player ? the resources needed to explore the swamp cave were just too much had to also gather them across multiple maps and days for 4 sets of gille suits and gas masks, not counting the first time i went into it and got my gas mask and guilly destroyed within moments and the underwater cave damn that place was hell on other level i dont think i can do it even though i am much better prepaired with good high level basilosaur

is there a mod that makes armours more durable and not get destroyed in one hit from everything even ascended things dont last more then a couple of hits

[river wolf]

they are.

not sure how it took you days across multiple maps to make 4 sets of ghillie, takes me like 15 minutes

[covert belfry]

i couldnt get polymer or the subtrast for gas mask and half that time was spent making a hezard suit cause i thouyght that would prottect me form "hezard"

now i have a thousand polimer though finaly got couple of good water tames

[sullen hatch]

it gets easier with knowledge of the game

[river wolf]

thats more so lack of knowledge rather than the game not being designed for singleplayer + penguins drop polymer in the arctic, and ghillie doesnt take much to make, absorbent substrate i can get but gas masks arent required. full scuba set works iirc

[covert belfry]

yea hunted a lot of penguins but it wasnt much polimer

[lime forge]

im bored! can i join anyone's game?

[sudden night]

as someone who completed the entire island map in singleplayer modless, I got 99% of all my polymer from the artic

if you use a pelagornis on a baby penguin you get a ridiculous amount of polymer for some reason

[covert belfry]

oh

[lime forge]

i get my poly from abberation

[sudden night]

with 3x rates you can get 200 polymer from a single baby or adolecent penguin if you kill it with a pelegornis

[covert belfry]

i get like 19 polimer per penguin

[sudden night]

you are using the wrong tameds to kill the penguin with then

[covert belfry]

oh

i use crossbow and chainsaw

[sudden night]

1x rates I assume then?

[covert belfry]

should i be playing with higher resource rates?

[sudden night]

in singleplayer I highly suggest 2x or 3x rates tbh

[covert belfry]

oh

[sudden night]

I used to run 1x for way too long too, the island map was my first playtrough

but I have a rule that I do not switch maps when I play a character, once I choose a map I stick with it until I beat it

after I got like 200 hours total of playtime on ark I switched to 3x rates

it felt weird at first but now it just feels wrong to play with lower rates

[covert belfry]

oh

[sudden night]

anyways back to topic, some tamed creatures get an enormous amount of polymer per kill, pelagornis is one of them

[covert belfry]

ima raise it 2x maybe that will solve this problem

[sudden night]

I also heard moschops is one of them but I havent tried it yet

so I would definitely bring a pelagornis or a moschops if you are farming poly

[covert belfry]

ok

i get pelogorins

[sudden night]

only the baby/juvenile/adolecent penguins drop massive amounts of poly btw

also because you do switch maps while I didnt

you can kill mantises, they drop a mad amount of poly

[river wolf]

karkinos drop even more

[sudden night]

anyways now I am playing on fjordur

and I have gone trough like 6 caves now

but only one of them actually has supply drops

any tips for caves for loot in fjordur? because right now I just kill alphas and got some decent crossbows and pickaxes etc but thats about all I have

the only cave I found with supply drops so far is that one aberration cave near the beach

[covert belfry]

Thats how i got a thousand polymer but everytime i go where they are i get lost and takes time to find my way back

[prisma plaza]

Win10 issue. My single & non-ded maps do not have the same info as my Ded session.
Meaning my friends buildings, Dino's, and survivor do not exist on my single & non-ded game.
For info, my S, ND, & D sessions are all done on my PC and my friend uses their Xbox to play on my D session.

[sullen hatch]

babies drop the most

[stiff topaz]

Singleplayer settings means it is not 1x. 1x would have dinos taking literal weeks to grow.

Resources are actually one of few exceptions but more melee does help harvesting so

[elfin silo]

What is better for harvesting organic poly? A good wooden club or A high-level moschops with capped harvest settings?

[late relic]

can anyone here help me, when i try and log into a non dedicated session my ark crashes

[sudden night]

we werent talking about breeding or anything tho

[sudden night]

moschops I am 99% sure of it, pelagornis is also very damn good

[stiff topaz]

But you're talking about 'rates' and being 'off topic', so.. rates

[sudden night]

specifically gathering rates we meant ._.

[stiff topaz]

yes, i noticed that was the generall conversation

but '1x rates' is very different to '1x gathering'

[sullen hatch]

(only a couple dinos take an actual week or more, but pretty much everything takes over a day, and most normal ones take 3-4)

[stiff topaz]

on singleplayer tho

[sullen hatch]

don't underestimate no lifing

[sullen hatch]

but yeah I mean that in real time playtime

so weeks for normal people with a life

[stiff topaz]

old 1x though lol, literal month for gigas

how tf did they expect people to play

[sullen hatch]

they expected people to make ark a job

[stiff topaz]

i spent about a month with 16 hour days breeding rexes.. i know

[sudden night]

which is sadly why the black market became so big

[sullen hatch]

why the fuck

[stiff topaz]

covid

[sullen hatch]

I get making it like 6 for balancing but 16 feels overkill

[sudden night]

honestly at times im so damn glad I never played on a server for ark

[sullen hatch]

oh I thought you meant like 16 hours per rex

[stiff topaz]

oh lol no

i dont hate myself that much

[sullen hatch]

I spent years with 12 hours a day on discord

[stiff topaz]

it was like an hour or so for mat

[sudden night]

Any way to make a snow owl heal something without you riding it

[sullen hatch]

nope

[stiff topaz]

yep

[sullen hatch]

probably more tbh

[stiff topaz]

dismount the instant you press rightclick

and try not to get frozen yourself or you might as well go make yourself some lunch

[sullen hatch]

oh that's a thing? never knew

[sudden night]

ah I see

looks like it is lunch time lol

oh it only lasted 5 seconds

[stiff topaz]

low stam owl?

[sudden night]

2k stam

[stiff topaz]

it's a thing just like drakes taking damage when they unclimb too close to the ground is

[stiff topaz]

then you got the timing wrong

it takes a bit of practice

[molten falcon]

i love snowls

[stiff topaz]

[molten falcon]

they go "ooeoeeeooo"

[stiff topaz]

They're preeeeteh

..how do they colour

[sudden night]

idk what I could change, the owl just freezes the stuff while I am not on it now

[sullen hatch]

I also like owls
but griffins hold a spcial place in my heart

[stiff topaz]

Timing. too late and it just cancels doing the anim.

[stiff topaz]

i wish griffins weren't getting screwed over by everything from desmodus to their own damn colours

[sudden night]

it isn't cancelling the animation though, it is freezing them while I am not on the saddle, its just that the stamina drops the exact same speed now wether I am on it or not

[molten falcon]

oh you did it right

[stiff topaz]

So it's working

[sudden night]

yeah but what is the benefit of this over just.. sitting on the saddle

[sullen hatch]

ikr

[sullen hatch]

that you don't need be riding it
like you asked

[stiff topaz]

well you tell me, you asked for exactly this

for me it's not needing to hold down click, and being able to do other shit while my dino heals

[sudden night]

I mean you told me to grab some lunch if I froze myself so I expected more

and I cant really do much in the meanwhile if it only does it for 5 seconds

[stiff topaz]

I'd get frozen for like 5min on my owl because my owl had a lot of stam
When i did it right.

[sullen hatch]

she meant if you freeze yourself
since then you can't do anything including unfreezing the owl till its stamina is out

[stiff topaz]

If your owl only freezes for 5 seconds including when youre on it, that's a stat issue.

[sullen hatch]

otherwise you can just have something pressing your right click while you get lunch

[sudden night]

I guess ill grab one of my newbred owls and dump all the stats into stam

[sullen hatch]

daeodon superiority

[stiff topaz]

yep, exactly. my owl was statted enough that if i didnt move far enough away, i just couldnt play for several minutes till it ran out of stam lol

[sullen hatch]

I think it's also related to how many dinos you're healing at once

[sudden night]

got an owl with 4k stamina now, only lasted like 15 seconds

[stiff topaz]

^

[sudden night]

what kind of boosted ass stats you playing on to freeze anything that long then

this is a max level snow owl and I just dumped the points into stamina

[stiff topaz]

checking rn

[sullen hatch]

max level doesn't really mean much, it's the points into the stat that matter

[tropic meteor]

What kind of low stats are you using?

[sudden night]

default

[sullen hatch]

what's the max level

[sudden night]

224 tame I mean

[stiff topaz]

where the fuck is my owl

[tropic meteor]

must be a terrible stat roll

[sudden night]

34 default points, so its a normal roll

[tropic meteor]

over there

[stiff topaz]

Thanks 👍

[tropic meteor]

always here to help

[stiff topaz]

There we go

when tf did i get 2 dozen owls

[tropic meteor]

Lol

[sudden night]

at least this method gives quick stamina regen ig

[stiff topaz]

lmao oh boy

[sudden night]

so it is still a bit faster healing

than saddling it

[carmine rapids]

will theriz work doing brood mother and megaphiticus?

[stiff topaz]

19 base stam.... 150 tamed

[timid scaffold]

Any1 selling argys on PlayStation official for ingots preferably cheap since not far in

Like thatch hut level

[sullen hatch]

#pve-discussion

[stiff topaz]

hey @sullen hatch do stats

[molten falcon]

how did you put 150 levels into tamed stam

[stiff topaz]

how much total stam

[molten falcon]

wouldn't that be perry

[sullen hatch]

1k, damn that's low

[carmine rapids]

like we dont want to have 3 diffrent boss teams for the bosses (rexs,theriz,megatherium) so will just theriz with health+melee mutations work?

[sullen hatch]

I'm the original stats guy B)

[molten falcon]

👀

[sullen hatch]

good snowls have 1.3k ish afaik

[stiff topaz]

i used to have very high tame points cap because
a) i didnt understand breeding or stats
b) i liked the idea of being able to take my early tames with me to the end if i put time in, i didnt want to have to leave my beloved Ibea/Bee behind

[molten falcon]

i must have missed the bobster dino stat arc

[sullen hatch]

and then after tamed levels,
16k

[urban oracle]

Hi, I've a strange problem ; I cant cryo my dinos on valguero and idk why, trying all angles possible ans still cant cryo them does any one figure out this prob?

[stiff topaz]

some dinos from that age are still around. some i reset.

[molten falcon]

that's nice

[sudden night]

so basically you boosted the stats a mad amount and thats why you could heal for so long

[stiff topaz]

Nyx, my drake, is still overcapped. I justify it because i don't want to breed drakes, because that would mean having to get rid of one of my oldest dinos

[molten falcon]

possible to get there with breeding

[stiff topaz]

like poor Infernum got

[sullen hatch]

4x your amount
should last like a minute
she said multiple minutes, so I'm assuming you're just healing a bunch of dinos at once

[sudden night]

nope, one dino I am healing rn

4k stamina owl

[sullen hatch]

did they just change snowls or something

[sudden night]

lasts like 15 seconds

[stiff topaz]

yeah i was generally targeting my drake only
tbf i never timed specifically and it was ages ago, but it felt like a hell of a long time

[sudden night]

probably I guess

[stiff topaz]

fuck it ill boot and check

[sullen hatch]

eh time passes slower when you're waiting

[sudden night]

alright ill count the exact amount of seconds now

[molten falcon]

should i breed snowls or rowls?

[sullen hatch]

R

[molten falcon]

okey

[sullen hatch]

what was my point
oh yeah
get a daeodon and heal your shit using that

daeodon superiority

[molten falcon]

tek pistol is expensive

[sudden night]

oh right my snow owl is an R snow owl

[molten falcon]

i don't think there's anything difference with the healimg

[sudden night]

anyways my owl has 4116 stamina, I am healing one andrew, one healing segment lasted for 18-19 seconds

[molten falcon]

(i have so many projects lined up, really need to set up a better breeding area)

[sullen hatch]

be like me
just give up

I have so many projects planned and I did nothing and instead deleted ark

[molten falcon]

i will instead not do that

[stiff topaz]

be like me and have a list of over 2 dozen dinos and then get distracted making griffins pretty instead of playing

[sudden night]

so every 1k stamina in an snow owl is equal to a bit less than 5 seconds

good to know I guess

[molten falcon]

noted

[sudden night]

still sad about the fact my main owl died

[molten falcon]

rip mowl

[sudden night]

but I did manage to get 2 wyvern eggs out of it's death

so I guess I do have an upgrade

... still need milk tho

[molten falcon]

traded utility for combat

[sudden night]

eh I have spare snow owls but they are weaker

I can still take the one I just dumped stamina with me I guess

[stiff topaz]

oh god i go from 28fps to 150 when i leave my base

[molten falcon]

(should i breed aberrant iguanodons, aberrant ankylos, combat gachas, or r owls first?)

[sudden night]

wyvern milk is the only thing a baby wyvern will eat right?

[stiff topaz]

[molten falcon]

unless it's a cwyv

[sullen hatch]

how about none of those and instead allos

allo superiority

[molten falcon]

I'll do those when i find decent allos

[sudden night]

think it'll survive if I dont use milk with 6x growth speed sp settings? fire wyvern tbw

[sullen hatch]

also this kinda belongs in #ark-survival-ascended

[stiff topaz]

..you should have put that in a enw message

16k is very fucking different to 1k

[sullen hatch]

I didn't?

[stiff topaz]

oh you did mb

but long after you said 1k lol

[sullen hatch]

I only realised you had 150 tamed levels after a while

[stiff topaz]

i missed it, if you'd said that before i wouldnt have gone to check 1k cannot be right

[sullen hatch]

I thought you meant "tamed at 150"

[stiff topaz]

ohh

[sudden night]

so I got a fish basket I want to recharge, I am standing in more than deep enough water but the durability isnt going up?

[molten falcon]

"how long do we have to defuse this bomb?"
"only one hour."

[59 minutes later]

"I can't believe we're about to explode"
"accounting for how old the bomb is, it will actually take 16 hours to explode"

[sullen hatch]

lmao

[stiff topaz]

put it in hotbar

alr time to test

[sudden night]

mfw wiki should really mention this stuff

[stiff topaz]

1min 30

[stiff topaz]

put it on there then 🙂

[molten falcon]

it can

[sudden night]

too lazy to make a wiki account

assuming you need one)

[stiff topaz]

You just put in a username and password, thats it
dont even need an email

and account means no ads

[sudden night]

honestly with my fishing knowledge I could double the fishing rod page alone

[sullen hatch]

it does I'm pretty sure

[sudden night]

💀

[stiff topaz]

i dont see it off ctrl f

[sullen hatch]

oh it doesn't, hmm

imma add it

[sudden night]

we could also add the snow owl healing trick to the wiki

[stiff topaz]

fixed

took me 30 seconds

[sudden night]

yay I indirectly improved the ark wiki

[sullen hatch]

oh I was too late

[molten sandal]

If u die in a boss with a hawk on yo shoulder do you keep stuff

[sudden night]

🎊 party time

[stiff topaz]

fastest edit in the west

[naive dust]

That’s a good question

[stiff topaz]

if the arena has no players in it it kills everything inside

[sudden night]

anyways, are there any (good) loot caves in fjordur? I've raided like 6 caves so far and only one of them even had supply drops in it...

[molten sandal]

I was wondering to counter bring counterd could you poly yourself after the boss is dead and would you keep stuff plus would your tames tp back

[stiff topaz]

^

if you've ever had the bug where your tames TP in and you don't, the red text wall says a lot

[sudden night]

welp I got my fish baskets now, time to (attempt) to tame my first ever shadowmane, wish me luck

still gotta find a high level one lol

[molten falcon]

bring ghillie

[sudden night]

already am

playing on fjordur btw

[molten falcon]

Good good

[sudden night]

also am I the weird one for wearing ghilie more often than flak

[molten falcon]

uh

yes

[sudden night]

damn

I am in singleplayer btw

so far I kinda just had the mentality "dont need the bit-better armor if nothing attacks me in the first place" mentality

[molten falcon]

Fair enough

[molten falcon]

i do it too

got some ascendant ghillie bps, used mindwiped crafting, and wore it forever

[sudden night]

I am stuck in fjordur so I doubt ill get any good blueprints soon

again, raided a bunch of caves but only one of them actually had supply drops :l

and for some reason I just cant find high level mantises, I've found and killed frigging 100+ of them in the vulcano biome and only one of them was 140 or above

[tropic meteor]

rng is fun

[sudden night]

also I am in asgard rn searching for fishes, absolutely zero fishes in this massive lake

but for some reason a ton of mammoths and ankies swimming on the bottom of the lake

are andrews and stegos the only dinos immune to being dismounted or are there more?

[molten falcon]

I thought big things like rexes and stuff don't have microraptors and purlovias and stuff aggro on them

so technically immune

Or is it the manes dismount that you're talking about

[sudden night]

shadowmanes

just curious because now I am using an adrew after someone told me it was immune to it

also do otters wake up sleeping shadowmanes if I have them on my shoulders

[molten falcon]

Yes I think shoulder pets mess it up

[sudden night]

ah that explains why it kept waking up

thank god I got my andrews thats immune otherwise I wouldve died 10x already

WOO alright baby I got my first fish in

[molten falcon]

Yeah I learned that the hard way

(died like 4 times)

[sudden night]

level 145 shadowmane, its completely black colored too very nice

so far didnt die to this one

[molten falcon]

I didn't have an Andrew at the time so yeah that was my fault

[sudden night]

tbh I wouldve used a stego if I didnt knew about the andrew

assuming those are immune too

second fish in POG

2 to go

this shit is terrifying, im sweating balls

one to go...

[molten falcon]

Woo

You got this don't mess up lmao

[sudden night]

everytime it randomly wakes up I shit my pants

im terrified

that 50 meter crouch slowly to the shadowmane is nervewrecking

[sudden night]

I got it baby!

[molten falcon]

lets goooo

[sudden night]

now a name

its completely black which is pretty cool imo

[molten falcon]

Yeah black shadowmane look sweet

[sudden night]

aw it got mediocre stat spread

still im happy af

[molten falcon]

At least it looks pretty

[sudden night]

oh my god it does a fucking flip when I jump high

S tier tame already

these abilies are insane and I have no idea what half of them do yet

hmm shadowmanes arent immune to other shadowmane dismounts

I did survive tho

this is the coolest stuff ive seen in ages

[neon coral]

so im playing ark with my bluetooth headphones and when i disconnect them from bluetooth and reconnect I cant hear any sound out of the game. (is there any way i can fix this besides re-launching my ark?)

[plain stag]

Unfortunately not. Ark issue.

[neon coral]

aww man

i havent closed my ark in 45 hours

losing my streak now

[sudden night]

oh god does the shadowmane poison really work on bosses? if so that is busted

[ionic cliff]

exit to main menu and then exit, its just these 2 maps that it happens
I can move to different map and come back and its normal (all places I visited are still "open") but if I close the game it's all gone

[sudden night]

They are fast as hell underwater too :O

[sudden night]

can you steal wyvern/drake eggs by using shadowmane's invisibility?

[slender ferry]

I’m unsure but you can look in the game files to see if you see if anything’s wrong with those

[tawny tendon]

Should I just put all my points into melee

On a r-Equus

[ionic cliff]

I'm not qualified to know if there's something wrong in those, already did a few "steam file checks" if thats what you mean, still the same
when I'm on GeForce Now the maps are as they should, all visited areas are open

[slender ferry]

Depends what you want it for and it’s current stats

[tawny tendon]

U want me to tell u the stats?

And I’ll prob use it just for taming

[slender ferry]

I meant the files files but I’d suggest going to the Ark website and reporting the bug

[slender ferry]

Then as long as it has enough weight to carry you with at least 1/2 of its weight left level it in melee

[tulip arch]

Anyone know why my brand new abberation save is stuck at 120 max dinos instead of 150. Ive had this problem before, and the game seems to ignore all changes to ini files

[sudden night]

are shadowmanes immune to radiation?

[brazen robin]

no, but on fjordur no dinos take rad damage

[molten falcon]

don't think so, but fjordur radiation doesn't do anything to dinos

beat me to it

[brazen robin]

[molten falcon]

have you dinowiped after changing the difficulty override?

[brazen robin]

override you mean offset at 1. override at 5

[molten falcon]

override* yeah

also, have you been closing the game before editing ini? and have you been editing the correct ini?

[brazen robin]

make sure its spelled correctly as well. I have spelled them wrong before

[sudden night]

damnit why doesnt the wiki mention this either reee

[brazen robin]

radiation immune dinos are mentioned on the aberration page I believe
lots of little things aren't mentioned on the wiki

[sudden night]

it doesnt mention the shadowmanes, or that fjordur gives rad immunity to all dinos

[molten falcon]

you can make the wiki mention it

[brazen robin]

fjordur radiation is likely bugged. but they don't mention things that aren't immune to radiation unless its on ab

[sudden night]

everyday I get closer to becoming a major wiki editor

but not yet :)

[molten falcon]

you can be a minor one

[brazen robin]

or just tell alex to fix it thats what I do

[sudden night]

whos alex btw

[molten falcon]

i would put it in myself, but my flight is in a little under 2 hours and i don't want to bother with editing on mobile

[brazen robin]

wiki admin

[sudden night]

im about to tame my second ever shadowmane

sadly both are male and both are level 145 🤔

[brazen robin]

should forget that one and just find a female

breed and never tame another one

[sudden night]

why

[brazen robin]

finding the fish is a pain are you on boosted?

[sudden night]

I am on singleplayer

decently high settings tho

and default level caps though

[brazen robin]

I just find taming them annoying 😂 the fish are a pain to get.

[sudden night]

true but goddamn is taming them fun after you get the fish

its truly frightening at first

[pine token]

my flight is in a little under 2 hours
Get to the airport!

[sudden night]

mf usually you gotta be in the airport 12 hours earlier at least

I hope he already is there

BAM! got my second shadowmane

it has better stats too, not very much but still a few!

[molten falcon]

I'm already here, i just don't want to pull out a laptop while waiting lol

ty though

[stone anvil]

how low does a crystal wyvern have to be too tame him with normal crystal ??? on offcial

[molten falcon]

use dododex

[sudden night]

I tamed a gasbag and I am utterly confused and intrigued by it

[molten falcon]

gasbags are yes

@brazen robin do you have the titanmode gif

(also #ark-survival-ascended )

[brazen robin]

https://imgur.com/kzPDe2c

[molten falcon]

thanks desolate
( @sudden night )

[sudden night]

thanks for what

[molten falcon]

was thanking desolate and pinging you, sorry for the confusion

[sudden night]

np

also how is one supposed to get lightning wyvern eggs in fjordur, I tried with my shadowmane and my ass got BLASTED

barely frigging survived

I also discovered that lightning wyverns inflict torpor

[polar sandal]

my buddy set up some turrets then kited the live ones over to them.

there's.... ways lol

[sudden night]

as a singleplayer player I've never used turrets so far lol

[brazen robin]

sneak in with the shadowmane, and teleport right after you grab the egg if you have it enabled anyway.
can also use a fjordhawk to keep your stuff.
although both of those could be considered cheesing 😂

[sudden night]

did you see the fjordur lightning wyvern pit? that area is hellish, getting to the eggs on the shadowmane is brutal alone

[brazen robin]

go invisible

[sudden night]

I did

[grizzled cedar]

What do tribes do?

[brazen robin]

mostly multiplayer stuff, but the tribe log is useful for singleplayer as well.

[grizzled cedar]

Is there a tribe member recruitment chat?

@brazen robin but i play ark on mobile and it is not listed there

[carmine rapids]

So I’m hatching theriz and I’m just getting males. Is my luck just super bad our could there be a setting that’s broke

[violet bluff]

im using nitrado to host my server- how can i change gestation speed to take 5-10 min?

[grizzled cedar]

Ok guys, I need some help, so I am trying to find a tribe for myself, but I play on mobile and a mobile role is not listed there so, what do I do?

[violet bluff]

pretty sure its just bad luck

[brazen robin]

[grizzled cedar]

Ohhh ok thanks

[carmine rapids]

Legit hatched 12 all male

just letting them starve if there make :p

[violet bluff]

nvm i figured it out

[sudden night]

I wonder, back when ark was free a few months ago, were all the dlc free too?

or just the main game

[eager shadow]

hello, im wondering what the mod where you can use what looks like a detonator? to transfer one dino's inventory to another/storage box

[plain stag]

The structures plus omni tool does that, but I am not sure of another mod.

[eager shadow]

ohh thank you!

[frail patrol]

@stiff topaz is there a devkit update with fjordur yet?

if not, you want me to take a quick look?

[stiff topaz]

nope

[frail patrol]

right, there's only two boxes doing radiation, that's always nice to see.

[sudden night]

my plant species Y plants just completely stop producing traps after a while, any way to prevent this?

[tropic meteor]

take the seeds it produces out of its inventory then wait a minute

[sudden night]

was fearing that one

[tropic meteor]

don’t have to reset the crop just take the seeds that appear in its inventory out

[sudden night]

yeah thats what I meant

very frustrating mechanic

I guess I'll feed my gachas stone

[tropic meteor]

yeah, it’s strange

[sudden night]

anyways I wanted to increase my fjordur-only character's level cap, so I grabbed an old chibi I had at level 4 from another character (only exception I made to the world transfer rule), and leveled that chibi from level 4 to 5, I was hoping I could add 4 extra levels to my character but it was in the end only one, does that mean if I level it up to 6 next, I only get one extra level as well, or does it fix itself and can I reach level 110 then?

[tropic meteor]

would only get one more, you’ll have to find an unleveled chibi

[sudden night]

damn

I guess I gotta re-enable an event in the configs again

don't have access to any other ways to get chibis as far as I know

[turbid marsh]

enable default survivor items. Then die. U respawn with noglin chin if u have gen pass.

If u don’t u can cheat all explorer notes and do it for shadowmane chibi

[sudden night]

you still need gen pass for shadowmane chibi lol

I guess ill enable summer or the party dodo event

[sudden night]

seems like its only partially true, my otter just died from radiation >:L

anyways I did find a max level rock drake egg here now so that makes up for it :o

I expected this area to be a lot deadlier to be honest

the radiation was the biggest problem

is there any way to display these eggs in my base? they look so cool

I wonder why rock drakes are kinda locked behind shadowmanes in fjordur, does this imply rock drakes are stronger? I have no idea this is my first time I am about to get one

[brazen robin]

strange not sure why one dino wouldn't be immune and its not it being a shoulder pet as my fjordhawk didn't.

[brazen robin]

they aren't locked behind shadowmanes thats just where the cave is. can easily bring something else into the cave and kill the rock drakes

[sudden night]

I more or less meant that the game tells you that to get to the rock drakes, you need to be able to survive the wild shadowmanes near the area and that implies the rock drakes are more dangerous game design wise

[brazen robin]

ehh, maewings and otters are in the redwoods I wouldn't say those 2 are in any way hard or difficult.

[sudden night]

the rock drake nest isnt in the redwoods tho

anyways

how strong are rock drakes anyway

all I know is that they are great in aberration and that's it

[knotty pulsar]

if someone build a base on a giga spawn, will the giga spawn somewhere else or will not spawn at all?

[red olive]

They were very strong on ab when ab dropped, they are okay when raiding some bases, but overall they are not anything to write home about

[red olive]

Giga spawns are generally very large, it'll probably still Spawn nearby

[knotty pulsar]

oh ok ty

[pine token]

Wait, where does the game say that? The Shadowmanes there in no way block the cave. You can set up a base or outpost right outside the irradiated cave entrance and may not even see a shadowmane.

[brazen robin]

it doesn't. its just that the rock drake cave is in the shadowmane area. but like I said about the redwoods and maewings/otters. it doesn't work like that.

[pine token]

Yeah, it's definitely in their neighborhood. But nothing guards the cave or anything like that.

[brazen robin]

its like the fire wyverns and magmas. you can easily get to the magmas without fighting any wyverns. just use a maewing.

or a desmodus at night

[pine token]

Even easier than that, imo, as wyverns seem much more likely to notice you going into the magma entrance

From what I've seen, anyway.

[brazen robin]

yeah, shadowmanes themselves are scarce as well

I've found at most 5 at the entire lake area. none were even close to the cave

[pine token]

It's a huge area they range in, yeah

[brazen robin]

also just wait till they sleep 😂 go in with ghillie

[pine token]

Plus, if you're expecting to probably have to fight rock drakes after stealing eggs, whatever you being for that should be able to handle manes

[brazen robin]

until you get dismounted and die 😂

[pine token]

Haven't had that experience yet

[brazen robin]

I always get dismounted from them

[red olive]

Could just use a yuti and scare them away lol

[brazen robin]

can't use a yuti while flying on a birb

[pine token]

Oh maybe that's it, I haven't fought manes while on flyers

[brazen robin]

I don't fight them on flyers lol. they teleport to you and dismount while you fly.

[pine token]

Haha, damn kitties

[molten falcon]

Can 15 30k hp 600 melee shadowmanes and 5 30k hp 400 melee rexes do alpha rag?

[brazen robin]

I have doubts as it includes the dragon

[red olive]

I would get rid of the rexes and take more shadowmanes

[distant rock]

yea try taking a yuty, i did alpha drag with 20 shadowmane and ended with like 4 alive

25k hp 600 melee were my shadowmanes

[molten falcon]

Mines a mix, some are around those stats and others have 700-800+ melee

[distant rock]

yeah you should be fine, def take a yuty just be extra safe

even a random deinonychus will shred the boss

[hasty wolf]

Theyre great for travel and exploration, and are pretty good for ambushes

Its invisibility and climbing makes it pretty good for egg stealing too

[tough jolt]

anyone know the cave respawn timer for dinos?

[lavish falcon]

Is it ok to build in areas you cant get to on pvp?

Like theres a little gap in the wall and you can fit a pillar through

We wont go in there ourselves but we can use it to foundation block

Will we get banned?

[pine token]

As far as tos goes, afaik that's fine so long as it isn't in the mesh. Any other restrictions there are up to the server admins.

[molten falcon]

you probably won't be banned, but you risk losing any structures in the mini-rathole if it gets patched

[dusky spire]

can i get a dev on 1567? currently getting godmoded on xbox

[plain stag]

@dusky spire #reporting-players

[dusky spire]

its a barcode gamertag

[plain stag]

Reporting is the only way to handle hacking players, posting in here won't make enforcement come to your server. #bug-reports and #reporting-players.

[ember kelp]

imagine this as a situation that I can't do anything about. I have two wyverns, male and female. Both have 5 patrilineal mutations that are not visible and I have no idea what it is. the two of them are the same level. Can i breed them for mutations or do i have to clean it up somehow?

[fresh mason]

Does 'OverrideOfficalDifficulty' in the GameUser.ini affect boss strengths or rather stats too? Or ist it only for wild dinos?

[sullen hatch]

you have to clean up
also mutations on the counter ! = stat changes/colour changse on the dino

[sullen hatch]

afaik it's only for wild dinos and boss minions, not the bosses themselves
not sure though

[ember kelp]

how can i clean them up tho? i don't have a 0 mutation male. I only have a 0 mutation female. this is because I brought them to the island from rag, i can't go and get new wyverns

[sullen hatch]

you kinda have to get new ones, no other way

[fresh mason]

Yea, that's what I've heard too

[sullen hatch]

or go far back before you got the mutations

[fresh mason]

also heard that it effects Loot drop quality but not sure, why would there be a Setting for Loot quality otherwise

[sullen hatch]

it does indeed affect loot quality afaik

[fresh mason]

Damn

pretty neat

[lofty ibex]

Noobs with poops

[sudden night]

Is there any list for worst to best foods for gachas, I often hear people give them stone as a food source because it's easy to get

but what if I use metal or gems as their food source? I got a few gachas that produce that

wouldnt that be better?

[carmine rapids]

What is the chance of getting male or female baby’s. 50/50?

[naive dust]

Yes

Unless it’s a reaper then you’re 100% getting a male

[carmine rapids]

Okay so let’s say I get 12 baby’s and there all male.what’s the chance of that

[sullen hatch]

why would you use their shit as their food

[sullen hatch]

reapers don't have genders

[sullen hatch]

seeds or stone are the easiest food to use
Y traps are the best but hard to mass produce

[naive dust]

It’s a reaper “king” it has a gender

[sullen hatch]

nah it's genderless

wild reaper kings don't get mate boost from wild queens because they're just different dinos, and both are genderless

[main wave]

hi bob

[naive dust]

If it were truly genderless it would just be a reaper.

Not a king or queen

[sullen hatch]

I mean people do call it that but it's genderless in game logic
I guess "male" in irl logic? eh king's just a name, we can't really put gender on that sorta alien thing

[sudden night]

because I got way more than I need and if it is indeed better than the stone (and very occasionally y traps) I am feeding it right now then I can easily switch the food source

[sullen hatch]

by using their shit as their food you're just getting less shit

[naive dust]

Both of those titles are based around and rely upon a specific gender

[sullen hatch]

I mean yeah
it's based on xenomorphs, those have queens too

[sullen hatch]

but with game logic, both are indeed genderless
same as griffins, maewings, etc.

[sudden night]

not always though, I do know metal is better than stone for example, I would assume gems would be too

[naive dust]

Which are females

[sullen hatch]

it's better than stone but if you're using metal to produce metal then you're just losing metal

[naive dust]

That’s just robbing Peter to pay Paul. Just feed them stone, or owl pellets if you want loot and not resources

[sudden night]

usually they eat 20 per crystal and one metal crystal produces like 60 metal at points, so if I have one gacha focusing metal the others can get much better loot

[sullen hatch]

owl pellets + stone/seeds is just a much more convenient way to go

[sudden night]

how many owls per gacha btw

[sullen hatch]

and beetles and snails, both of which obviously have genders irl
it's just game logic

[sudden night]

I often hear 2 but I got 2 per gacha rn and the buff isnt always up

[sullen hatch]

I use 3 myself

[sullen hatch]

did you know that snails just switch genders when they get older

[sudden night]

also is there any way to display wyvern/drake eggs in my base? they look so cool

[sullen hatch]

they become females as they get older iirc

[sullen hatch]

not without mods, afaik

[sudden night]

damn

[sullen hatch]

with an iguanodon for the seeds btw

[sudden night]

gachas crafting levels so slow which is a bummer

tamed them at level 140 and got some levels in it passively and now most gachas are reaching 160% crafting

[carmine rapids]

finally got our first female after 12 eggs and 15 theriz

[sudden night]

does the explorer node XP boosts have an effect on the Chibi exp gain?

[plain stag]

No. Only killing alpha dinos.

[sudden night]

Do higher quality torches also give more thermal insulation?

[plain stag]

I don't think so, higher quality usually just means more attack/durability. I don't think it changes heat.

[sudden night]

whats better for raiding fjordur caves? rock drake or shadowmane

[molten falcon]

I'd say shadowmane if you wanna destroy everything and rock Drake if you wanna invis and get drops and stuff

[sudden night]

So I just tamed a female shadowmane which is already hype af now I got both a male and female

weird thing is though, I somehow tamed her at 150 and got level 225 instead of 224?!

[plain stag]

You got a perfect tame without losing the level

[sudden night]

didnt even know that was possible

kinda a bummer that its easier to get shadowmanes than rock drakes in this map, now I dont see any reason to use drakes over shadowmanes, or am I missing one?

[molten falcon]

That the rock drake is just way faster while invis+the wall climbing

[naive dust]

Yeah. Force tame always gives 100% effectiveness

[sudden night]

does anyone know any mod or other method of changing the appearance of a character? I know there is a command for it but you need 2 players for that one >_>

[rare berry]

Anyone know how to disable forced structure lock on a server?

[plain stag]

ForceAllStructureLocking=False
Under gus.ini iirc

[rare berry]

Ok. Thank you.

[rare berry]

How do I send otters to fish and gather pearls and things?

[quiet shale]

Guys i need help i cant join any server official and unofficial just lost connect time out my internet too good i dont know the problem i want solution for this please 🙏🙏🙏

[pearl oak]

is there a way to download the sounds for the dinos i need to snatch the levelup sound for the phiomia for devious purposes

[shrewd gate]

Anyone know why when my giga I'm taming eats kibble it rapidly drops taming until it's 0% tamed?? This has happened after 2 feedings now. I play single player on xbox

[river wolf]

does it have no food in its inventory after it finishes eating the kibble

[shrewd gate]

Yeah I've only been putting one kibble in at a time, is that the problem?

[river wolf]

yes.

if the dino has no food in its inventory whatsoever, it just drains its taming bar until you add more

[shrewd gate]

I had no idea! Thank you so much

[sudden night]

any big benefits to taming a high level fjordhawk over a easier to tame low level one?

[rare berry]

Where are some easier areas in the swamp biome on the Center map?

[lofty ibex]

Noobs with poops

[tropic meteor]

@sudden night the creatures that you give to the desmo must have blood packs in them

[sudden night]

I've seen in a video that that is also false but despite that I still did it to be sure

didnt work either

[tropic meteor]

what creature did you have the desmo pick up?

[slender ferry]

There isn’t really any

[sudden night]

huh weird did my message get deleted I posted it in? anyways it was dilos and lystros

[tropic meteor]

and there were blood packs in the dilos and lystros inventory, correct?

[sudden night]

a few yes

but I've seen nooblets video and in a bunch of the moschops he used he didnt have bloodpacks and it still worked for him

[tropic meteor]

how many?

[sudden night]

only 10 to test it

[tropic meteor]

to get it to 100% effectiveness you need like 200

[sudden night]

but the effectiveness went up by only 0.1%, exact same amount when it picked up a non-packed creature

[tropic meteor]

the blood pack makes it so that the creature being carried isn’t being drained of its health but instead the blood pack is being used

[sudden night]

it also drops the creature after like 10 seconds

[tropic meteor]

it does take quite a long time yes

[sudden night]

and any way to make it easily target the creature? if I attack it to get it out of it's hiding spot, it'll chase me forever and its nearly impossible to escape it to let it aggro my tameds

[tropic meteor]

usually crouch or prone right next to the creature you want picked up works

[sudden night]

oh well

I guess ill tame one 145 at 50% effectiveness for now

[tropic meteor]

Do you have any desmo yet?

[sudden night]

no this will be my first

if I level up melee damage will it collect packs faster?

[tropic meteor]

oh then yeah, once you get one desmo you’ll be swimming in blood packs to 100% tame a different one

[tropic meteor]

collects more with higher melee

[sudden night]

I also discovered you cant use medbrews when picked up

died earlier that way ;l

[tropic meteor]

ye, can’t use any consumable while not on the ground or mounted

[sudden night]

I mean I got a decent desmo but is there honestly much of a reason even to tame a very high level one over lets say the 145 50% eff tame ton top of it I just got?

[tropic meteor]

desmo are extremely useful as they can fly in any realm or cave, and with good stats there isn’t much they can’t kill except wild gigas or bosses

[sudden night]

think they could survive the fjordur lightning wyvern trench? that place is a ridiculous death trap and I had no chance with shadowmanes to survive

my second idea was trying rock drakes but yeah

[molten falcon]

they have invis better than drakes

[sudden night]

it only works at night tho?

[molten falcon]

just wait till night

[sudden night]

nights are very short in my world

[molten falcon]

I'd recommend undoing that

nights are extremely useful

[sudden night]

in what way besides the desmodus here

[molten falcon]

megalos become superpowered, ab surface becomes inhabitable, things look pretty

[sudden night]

that basically only applies to the abberation map

[molten falcon]

so not extremely, but still

[sudden night]

you cant see any damn thing in ark nighttime

its so annoying

[molten falcon]

gamma or torch

[elder harness]

gamma 5 or smaller

[sudden night]

gamma 5 is max mate

[molten falcon]

gamma 5 is max

[sudden night]

but having to switch gamma constantly feels so cheatty

and having high gamma at night still makes things look like shit

[elder harness]

as someone else said, torch

[sudden night]

gives a whole inch of visual space truly amazing

the only good thing about night time is on abberation and desmodus here

[molten falcon]

i guess it also depends on your monitor settings and such

on my pc i can see at night just fine

[sudden night]

must have a high default gamma on your ark

[molten falcon]

nah

i actually hate when my gamma is too high

just the monitor default settings

[sudden night]

I mean its literally completely pitch black with default gamma when I play in the night, and I mean it, not a single pixel of anything that isnt pitch black on my entire screen

[fluid mural]

just tamed the ice titan and it isn't named gamma/beta/alpha ice titan, did they remove them or did we not get any of them?

[proud patio]

i know this could be considered not ark related, or even a very specific situations very few people experienced, but i'll put my cards on the table

so, soon i'll be getting an ssd card, and supposedly everything originally on my hd drive, including steam, ark, and all files are gonna get transferred to said ssd card; however i have the feeling that by doing this transfer, my saves might get erased if steam gets transferred first, which i have experienced something similar to; so this begs the question, anyone has ever had this done, and were your saves fine after it? might also note, yes, singleplayer saves, i just wanna get this out of the way before i keep playing on fjordur so i dont get too far and have everything crumble on me

[stiff topaz]

Just copy the Saved folder somewhere

then even if it doesn't transfer it's 30 seconds to pop it back in

[proud patio]

any chance a pen drive can take it without a problem? if so, i might also copy the noteblock since it contains all my preffered configs, same for mods

[stiff topaz]

iirc i moved by reinstalling steam, and then having it discover the existing ark files on an ssd. then moving those across (would have been faster to move the files onto the new drive then have steam discover, i forgot why I didn't)

dont think i had a save i cared about in it at the time, but i don't recall any loss and i keep all sorts of random shit in Shootergame

[stiff topaz]

Saved contains everything

size depends on how old your saves are

Mine is about 5gb with auto backups cleaned out, 12+ with auto backups still in

[sudden night]

does the desmodus have an airbrake button?

[stiff topaz]

but that's 4 years of dino-hoardy savefiles on every map

[proud patio]

oh you're a godsent, i thought it was an issue so specific that it would maybe take a while before anyone had an answer

[stiff topaz]

The specific interaction itself might be- But the safeguard is pretty simple and standard backup processes

[molten falcon]

Looking to contact BLDX

[stiff topaz]

Fortunately ark stores all its files neatly and 'right there'

[sudden night]

how many hours do yall have in ark btw

[stiff topaz]

over 6200, and them some more in the devkit

[sudden night]

damn and here I am with 550

@molten falcon hbu

[proud patio]

thank you so much, seriously

[fluid mural]

Just tamed the ice titan and it isn't named gamma/beta/alpha ice titan, did they remove them or did we not get any of them??

[stiff topaz]

No problem 👍 And yeah you'll wanna be backing that folder up anyway

[sudden night]

wait does any meat a desmodus harvest turn into spoiled meat?

[stiff topaz]

It's bugged iirc

[sudden night]

prime meat*

oh nevermind it seems that for every kill they just get a ridiculous amount of spoiled meat

[tawny tendon]

How do I get zombie wyv

And what do voidwyv do

[warm path]

Can Reaper Queens pull you off a shadowmane

[tropic meteor]

Should be able to

[warm path]

Good to know

[covert belfry]

could 20 lvl221 allosaurs with 380-400 meele defeat gamma megapithicas? im saying 221 cause thats what i get from the egg and they will be much higher level then that like 280-290 when i actualy level them up

[brave socket]

how do i remove the pvp timer from dying in my server????????

[jovial star]

13.5k hrs

[covert belfry]

400

still a bob

[jovial star]

So am i

[jovial star]

Something about removing bed cooldown

[brave socket]

i mean when my friend gets killed how do i remove the pvp timer

[jovial star]

Oh that idk sorry

I didnt think there was a way to remove the PvP timer.

[plain stag]

Under game.ini

bIncreasePvPRespawnInterval=false
IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalCheckPeriod=30
IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalMultiplier=1
IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalBaseAmount=0

[jovial star]

Copied that thanks Country

[brave socket]

thanks

[plain stag]

[jovial star]

Sorry i didnt know those codes

[plain stag]

It's all good, they don't seem to be used very often

[random thorn]

Dose this work in official pvp?

[plain stag]

Not at all. That is only for unofficials.

[random thorn]

Oh okay ty

[plain stag]

Official servers are handled entirely by Wildcard. Unofficials have the option to change these configs.

[sudden night]

any tips for seperating desmoduses? they always spawn in a pack and to split out only the high level one is nearly impossible

[plain stag]

Aside from shooting them from a distance with a weapon or tame and making sure it's a onetap, I have no idea

[random thorn]

If it not possible to split them I think but I usually agro lower levels kill em and tame the high level one

[plain stag]

I don't know if you could net the one you're going for, kill off the rest, and then re-render the area?

[jovial star]

We've been using nets. Net the one you want, kill the others

[sudden night]

havent gotten any good loot from fjordur yet at all because I only found one cave that actually had any supply drops ;l

and I am already encroachign endgame ;l

[random thorn]

There is a cave with the battery staiotion it has 3 cave drops also dangerous dinos

[sudden night]

also I just used the glider suit for the first time because I kept forgetting it existed.. I always used parachutes until now (and forget them way too often and I still died from fall damage quite often......) and this thing is amazing

the wiki didnt mention the desmodus farming insane amounts of spoiled meat too

kinda nutty how much it gathers

[sudden night]

what is the best spot for finding desmoduses? rn I am in that circular cave near the beach

seems like a good spot because they respawn very quickly here but I wonder if there are any better

[sudden night]

by the way how long does it take for the effectiveness to go up to 100% because Its grabbing a lystro with blood packs rn and its only going up by 0.1% every 5 seconds or so

could it be that it is based on the tame that it grabs?

in videos they use daeodon or moschops but I use lystro and it goes up way, way slower

[modern drift]

That's how it works with bloodstalkers.

[molten falcon]

May I ask why I'm getting no session found every 2 seconds?

[sudden night]

how does desmodus healing work? I've noticed that it occasionally eats bloodpacks from its own inventory to heal

[jovial star]

Crabbytron has an awesome taming guide for them. I highly recommend watching that.

[sudden night]

seen that one, she didnt mention the creature itself affecting the effectiveness sadly

I dont think any of the videos I watched did now I think about it

[jovial star]

Yeah i have no idea then sorry cant be of more help

[sudden night]

what creature did you use btw

[jovial star]

Moschops

[sudden night]

wonder if daedon gives more effectiveness than moschops

okay for real what is the deal with loot in fjordur

ive raided like 10+ caves and still only found one that even had supply drops

[last harbor]

Someone advise me... I was given a tek strider on a map and used ot to harvest stone, fiber, wood, thatch etc... I just collected it. Then hit 1 button in menu and it auto sorted it to the relevant dedicated storage.

Problem is I just moved it to fjordur...
I have like 85 dedicated storage boxes but it let's me link to 1 at a time. E.g. fiber.

How do I reproduce the stryder to link to them all? I want to hit the button and it sends e erything to storage not just fiber

[neon coral]

i cant open the command menu when i press tab, im pretty sure that commands are enabled on my singleplayer world, but im not sure what seems to be the problem. I havent closed ark in like 71 hours so maybe its time that i close and re-open it. (are there any ways i can fix this issue other than restarting my ark?)

[pine token]

It sounds kinda like a key binding or kb input issue. A restart might be a good first thing to try.

[neon coral]

alright i just accidently closed it anyhow

so now ill be able to fix a different problem where i couldnt hear sound without restarting my ark

along with this current issue

[sudden night]

is there any reason to go for higher level fjordhawks considering how hard they are to tame compared to a lower level one?

[scarlet pelican]

I know it's not very high but how much torpor per hit do plant species X deal?

[sudden night]

I doubt they even do torpor at all honestly

[brave socket]

Is there a way to fix the bug “can’t join because the user is already on this server”

[waxen bear]

anyone know why I can't hear anything to my left or right when I'm playing with my headset?

[honest halo]

yo guys, do anyone of you know how to strafe with tek leggins while using turbo? i saw guy going left-right-left-right without stopping fast mode

[rare berry]

I'm a little confused. Setting the DayCycleSpeedScale to 0.035 makes the day cycle approximately real time, right?

[plain stag]

The #unofficial-setup-help channel has the server configuration wiki pinned

[stiff topaz]

that made me checked the pins here- related to that, wiki also has a dyes table https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Coloring#Table_of_Dyes

[rapid sable]

hi, is there an easy way that I have missed to be able to join xbox official pvp servers from my pc? I have windows 10 xobox installed but can only see crossplay and small tribes servers 😦 not the 1x official servers on my list when searching

[narrow cedar]

is there any way to make mjolnirs abilities scale with melee damage? they seem rather weak on their own

[molten falcon]

Is this channel going to use the new forum feature?

[fresh mason]

If you beat an alpha boss, do you automatically get the engrams for the previous difficulties?

[proud ermine]

Yes

[fresh mason]

Okay, cuz I was thinking of skipping beta this time cuz my army is insane

[proud ermine]

Alpha unlocks all the engrams available for that boss fight

[molten falcon]

im playing on the lost island and although the trench is full of wyverns there isnt any eggs spawning how do i fix this?

[fresh mason]

I would probably 'DestroyWildDinos' and then wait for a while

[molten falcon]

will that help eggs spawn tho?

[fresh mason]

Not sure but that would come to mind

[molten falcon]

yh

[sudden night]

any tips to not make fjordhawk taming agonizingly slow

mfs getting 5% per bronto kill

[hollow quartz]

Tame lots of ovis and then sacrifice them to the hawks

[sudden night]

damn

[hollow quartz]

Easiest map in the game to tame ovis tbf

[sudden night]

the one playtrough I wasnt planning to make an ovis farm too

welp guess I gotta do one anyway

[hollow quartz]

Can get honey from rocks and crops from the farm in the middle of the map

[sudden night]

yeah

any real reason to tame a high level fjordhawk over a low level

[hollow quartz]

Less likely to die to stuff when you die

[plain stag]

Higher health

[hollow quartz]

Unless it's PvP it's pretty irrelevant though imo

before knowing about the ovis thing I've done it by taming a bunch of gachas since they're such a laughably easy tame just with stone in vanaheim

and sacrificing them

but ovis is best way

[sudden night]

I mean stone destroys their effectiveness right

[hollow quartz]

gacha taming effectiveness is average at best

and just a straight downgrade at worst

higher level = more expensive to clone

And crafting skill doesn't level like other stats so the only advantage to higher level tames is more health and more weight

but considering that you'd literally be taming just to kill them

[sudden night]

oh man taming a fjordhawk with basically anything else than rex or bronto corpses drops the effectiveness

[hollow quartz]

it's better either way just because it's fastest low effort way to take them

[sudden night]

even stegos :l

[hollow quartz]

guessing ovis is going to be best there

but don't even bother trying to tame them just with wild creatures tbh

[sudden night]

I mean I am halfway here

[hollow quartz]

If you don't have a bunch of cryos ready to sacrifice you'll struggle to tame it (unless crazy rates makes it easier)

[sudden night]

tons of brontoshere

[hollow quartz]

what rates are you playing on?

[sudden night]

alright I managed to tame one at 90.1% effectiveness

[sudden night]

so how long does it take to get the desmodus taming effectiveness up to 100 with a daedon

all the videos I watch make it look so easy but the desmodus here just hovers 10 meters above my daeodon and never grabs it

[fresh mason]

Is there a way to restore 'Ark Data'? My character and world saved but my Ark Data is gone and unfortunately all my dinos were there

[sudden night]

the dude just wont land urgh

everytime the desmodus picks up my daedon I get like 1.5% taming effectiveness

sigh

another desmodus came, picked me up, my chestpiece broke, no more glider then

died from fall damage

this is agonizingly slow

10% to go

Got him baby

[tribal plank]

[sudden night]

225 tame too pog

it got mf 48 points into stamina, its interesting that it puts 0 points into speed, or any desmodus for that sake, which is strange because even other fliers do that but not desmoduses, resulting in a large amount of skill points in all stats

[naive dust]

I don’t think it’s just desmodus

Pretty sure they made any mountable flyers unable to distribute to movement speed whether they’re wild or tamed

[stiff topaz]

Flyers have the stat disabled = no points in it

Mods that allow speed levels in flyers (except for KBD) enable the stat thus allowing points to go in it

[sudden night]

does enabling flyer speed leveling allow wild fliers to put points into it?

[stiff topaz]

Yes but only the TE levels

[sudden night]

TE?

[stiff topaz]

So the +70/whatever from effectiveness

The base 150 does not

[sudden night]

dimetrodons and fjordhhawks do put wild levels in the speed stat

[stiff topaz]

So even on normal fliers you’d be seeing 45 melee and only 14 speed after taming, that sorta ratio

[sudden night]

guess those are the exceptions then

[stiff topaz]

Before taming? For hawks makes sense since they’re not rideable. I think you mean dimorphs though

[sudden night]

yeah dimorphs

all the videos I watch of the fjordur oceans they are quite empty but for some reason my fjordur oceans are absolute ungodly death traps with ridiculous spawn rates

I genuinely wonder how I should handle it because I did 3 attempts, lost 2 of them and I only survived the third one because the sarco I was using was fast enough to run away

[stiff topaz]

Could be mod overspawns

[sudden night]

I have no mods that have any effect on the world

Ever since I had access to thylas and andrews I never use rexes for anything besides bossfights anymore, is there some other use they maybe could fulfil that I am missing? first I thought kibble farm but I have like 10 deinonychus nests next to my base

[hollow quartz]

rexes are nice for PvP due to the Tek saddle, but it's pretty hard to differentiate the 10+ melee DPS dinos that are viable in the game

[sudden night]

I am on singleplayer

[hollow quartz]

its pretty hard to differentiate the 10+ melee DPS dinos that are viable in the game

[sudden night]

I saw that

[hollow quartz]

It doesn't matter whether you use spinos or theris or thylas or shadows or rexes or [...]

[sudden night]

thing is rexes are so terrible for travel etc

with thylas you can go caving or explore properly

[hollow quartz]

the only rex specific use is that the tek saddle is useful in pvp

[sudden night]

why that btw

is it just the range? does it do a lot of damage?

[hollow quartz]

Tek saddle can damage structures and rexes can be very very tanky

it's not that rexes are good DPS even in PvP
It's that they basically function like siege weapons

but yes holy trinity of theri thyla and shadowmane will be better for basically all singleplayer uses

shadowmane vs rex in singleplayer is
lol
