So it gets no greenhouse effect if it isnt Irrigated?
Are all walls and ceilings greenhouse? Is it built in a cave or underwater?
All the walls and ceilings are greenhouse. Technically it is in a cave because of aberration. It is on a shoreline
Move it. Make sure nothing is above it. If youβre in a dark spot on ab it wonβt work.
Could I send of pic of exactly where it is so you can help me determine if this is a good spot?
Cuz itβs one of the brighter spots on Aberration
But everywhere on Aberration, aside from the surface, something will be above it
should still be able to get greenhouse effect on ab. ive noticed my greenhouse is either 0% or 300% greenhouse effectiveness so you mught just need to make it bigger (perhaps 3x3)
alright so I just had a discussion with someone who claims that bosses deal 300% less damage in singleplayer (or was it that tames do 300% more damage to the boss?), anyways, his evidence was a 5 year old update log which came out before the singleplayer overhaul that added the current singleplayer settings we have now that increases the damage and health of tamed dinos in singleplayer, as I cannot find any evidence anywhere the 300% thing still exists, I doubt it still does, but the guy insists it does so I am asking for second opinions here if anyone can confirm this is a thing on top of the damage and health buffs dinos in sp get in general
dinos and bosses in singleplayer dont change at all from their official counterparts, except for the 4 titans which iirc take 3x extra damage
singleplayer settings is what changes your dinos
One of those big mechanical parts of the portal thingy is about 4 walls above the roof of my greenhouse, could that be creating a problem?
doubt it
Turns out it was the problem
As I relocated the greenhouse to away from the portal so there was nothing above it and the plots instantly gained the Greenhouse effect
Does greenhouse affect the crop much, if so how
Yes, up to a 20% faster grown rate iirc. Edit: opps nope, i was wrong, https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Greenhouse_Structures
Each green house roof, sloped roof, or wall provides a 15% faster growth rate while consuming the normal amount or fertilizer, walls need to have a roof or sloped roof attached to them to give the bonus though, and you can have upwards of 350%+ bonus on crop growing speed
thats what @placid hawk wanted to write^
Thx!

Oh, thx π
hello, has anyone had a problem when mounting a creature visually mounts me, but i keep standing next to creature? I am unable to move with it, or jump...
only way to dismount is by removing saddle, sadly, moschops does not have one so i have to relog
Is there an way to hide vanilla engrams that have S+ variants that doesn't require putting a command for every single engram in the game.ini?
s+ requires vanilla to learn so id leave it as is
Gameusersettings.ini
[StructuresPlus]
EnableEngramOverride=True
Alternatively, all s+ configs can be found here
Change the engram override will not mess up anything. It's even a config in s+ .
problem with breeding with my Thylacoleos, couple do not mate even being ready for it.
i tamed couple and they were wild and I tamed them..
are they close to each other? are they different gender?
the distance tames have to be for mating doesn't make sense to me
sometimes it's up to a foundation away, sometimes their hitboxes have to be overlapping, I just want more consistency
It is consistent - it's based on the size of the tame
no matter what i do when building the fence foundation im trying to place always goes on the bottom side of the foundation and not at the top. is there a way to get it to place at the top? (tried having different snap points to move it around and try to take up the spot but never works)
I know you can only upload stryders once every 12h but is there a timer somewhere im missing?
I found out they were different species.
Anyone know how to get more servers on epic launcher
My babies have recently taken to randomly wandering around every few minutes. I made sure they are on passive and not wandering but it keeps happening. Any ideas?
I don't have any direct experience with that platform (for ARK). Do you browse servers from within the launcher, as opposed to from within the game client like other platforms? Sorry, just trying to understand the question.
Take them off follow? (It's on by default, when they are born.) If not that, could be they are reacting to a threat in/near the base.
I disabled all of it. It's weird, this just started happening today. I've never run into this before
Unless I'm forgetting something the only possibilities I'm aware of are (1) follow, (2) threats (unless passive and not passive flee), and (3) wander
Also, are you actually seeing them walk around?
not sure how to find more servers me
id redownload it on steam but it runs smoother on epic
Oh and one other thought, @scarlet pelican , are you on land or in a raft?
Land
Ok. (Rafts introduce another variable.)
They don't really go anywhere specifically. They just move around for like 5 seconds then stop. The issue is that the babies move out of feeding range XD
Maewing?
Those have super short nursing ranges. Troughs and Nannies are much better imo.
you could use a dino leash, or if you get on a maewing, then whistle the babies to follow, it makes them follow the maewing
Oh, and a Maewing can pick up most dinos at any age under adult, so that would be a possibile mitigation.
if you do that, set the follow range on each to shortest
Those are good ideas
Do you have a breeding room?
Naw I just use my front lawn XD I intend to move bases soon so I didn't wanna build onto it
a quick 5x5 thatch hut wouldnt take that much resrouces
Yeah you're right. I already started building one
Where to spawn to access terminals on fjordur?
How do I disable S+'s pulling of fertilizer?
not fully familiar with the whole clusterint system, is it possible to transfer dinos and items from a clustered server to singleplayer?
Do you know the cluster owner?
less of a thing that's happening and more just something to keep in mind, in this situation I'll say no.
just wondering because I'd like to keep mementos of servers that shut down and such
For me the only way I know is getting save files from the person who runs the server and you can put it in your own save file
ah, so stuff you upload won't be accessible from the sp terminal? alright, thanks for the answer π
if you are in a clustered server you can't transfer to singleplayer. you need to uncluster to transfer.
alright then
pumpkin vibes
easiest way for a server thats shutting down is just allow uploads and not downloads and then uncluster :P people can then bring their stuff to singleplayer if they want. :P
man my internet sucks lol
that's a very good idea, I'll bring that up if/when any clusters i play on shut down, ty
Just keep in mind that any cryopods or fert eggs you transfer will be reset to lvl 1 iirc
all the good servers use dino storage anyway π
oh nvm apparently that doesn't work
what doesn't work dino storage? 
you can't transfer soul traps across unclustered servers
why not 
data corrupts, have to use admin soul recovery to get cross-cluster transfers
so same issue as cryopods
thought somebody said it fixed the non-dedi one (same issue just on non-dedi)
not sure, recent things i saw in the dsv2 server said otherwise
they probably just did the normal work around on non-dedi. if the host does the transfering everything works fine :P
and thought it was dino storage doing it
no this was from moderators for the server
This
ah, okay
Are carnosaurs fast? I want a dino that's comparable for exploring to a raptor, but not as squishy
They are slower than a raptor but they are a mount that you can ride just be a little careful when exploring because you dont wanna fight high leveled rexes, spinos etc
I want to be able to just run away from them, but not die instantly ifone gets too close and hits me
Thylacoleo is a great exploring mount, can kills, can runs, can climb
Try getting those
Ok... never heardof it before but i'll look around
why is my ravager getting melted by radiation damage and in the video the guys ravager takes very little rad damage
I can't say enough good things about it. Powerful, good health, decent weight and when it's not winning a fight it can escape anything short of a Wyvern. Easily the most maneuverable and flexible land mount there is.
Where exactly was the person in the video, and are you in that same place?
Ikr...π€£ they were my fav mount b4 shadowmane come out...but I still loves them thylas
im tryna get drake eggs on ab and as soon as i step into rad zone my rav starts taking insane damage from it
It even has "hidden" maneuverability features, like moving slightly backwards in midair, and extending it's paws in a long fall to avoid fall damage. @charred vale
the rav im using is level 298 with 12k hp and i cant stay in rad nearly long enough to go get a drake egg
Ravagers will take rad damage on Aberration, afaik
Was the person in the video in Ab?
yes
you better off using abb spino if you dont have a drake yet to go down there
For any creature not immune to radiation, you can feed them Mushroom Brew: https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Mushroom_Brew
okay i got out without getting killed so ill get spino or something and do it
Good idea. Ravagers won't do you much good in that zone, imo
shoiuld i go tame spinos or megalosaurs
Try getting them both
Megalo is really good for killing stuffs in ab, since no Rex's and giga is not allowed
If you have a harvesting stryder while you are doing it. You will be swimming in element by the end
I have a stryder but i skipped the skiff
is there a good area and/or a long strip of land with rich metal on fjordur? looking for a place where i can fly with an army of argys and an anky and get tons of metal
@brazen robin DS is the only way to transfer dinos as items cross server. it just doesn't use the obelisk at all and needs exporting the recovery files
gotcha 
It's harder to get starting stats for breeding lines on egg only dinos right? (Wyverns, magmasaurs etc...)
What stat numbers should I aim for with them since they don't get taming bonus levels?
Not really, wyverns have only 6 leveled stats, so getting decent point distributions is about equal to any other dino
What about magmasaurs and Deinonychus?
190/6 = 31.6, while 224/7 = 32
I don't have experience breeding magmas, but deinos do come out with less points.
They don't need as good stats though with their bleed
magmas and deinos only go up to 150 wild so would be harder :P as no taming bonus
Yeah, they are op enough that it doesn't usually matter that much though
wyverns and I believe rock drakes can't get speed levels and go up to 190 so much easier :P
I'm just trying to gauge a good starting hp and melee for them
Especially magmasaurs
I only pay attention to stats when its a boss dino
sorry
and even then I know very little as I don't do bosses lol
π
i forget, can you grab the exported file as a non-admin? or no.
No, you'd need it sent to you
π ty
(also it turned out that the server i was interested in didn't even use dsv2, so I'm probably gonna continue to stick with sp lol)
Is there a list of fjordur loot box pools?
I want to track down a few specific saddle blueprints
always the case
'x server looks n- oh it doesnt have x mod nvm'
literally met every other requirement and looked like it was gonna be really cool. i might still go back to it at some point. just, lack of ds is very iffy for me
modlist was wip so here's to hoping
lack of NU, DS, or S+ is an instant 'nope' for me
it had nu, kbd, aoa, all the good ones
What server is this? could check Wes'
server isn't out yet, don't remember the name (also wouldn't want to bring negative attention to it). I'll probably check out wes's at some point
Shame π₯
Oh hello
I was doing my morning wiki lookups
hi alex
hi alex
hi alex π
gotta love how your morning is my 11:24 pm lol
have fun π π π
unbalanced bat trafficker
they're not out yet it doesn't count
sinomacrops came in on their own, they're like bobbit worms in aquarium decorations
you created the mod folder and they were already there
i guess you also made garuga wolf actually exist
Lmao except bobbit worms are actually cool
(I'm joking in case it's not obvious)
they're very pretty
monchy water worm
unrelated but apparently someone's making a 1k square kilometer map and I'm worried for their sanity
im worried for their game's sanity
and stability
and their kit. and their computer.
iirc skies of nazca map got so big that the kit couldn't handle it.
i don't think it was 1k
then this person comes in and says "i am going to make north america"
i can't imagine how much ram it's gonna need if they succeed
how much does gen2 take again?
like 12+gb and its spawns are a bit empty for it
How do i grab the last key in Choose Your Own Adventure? Its close to the top of the map and its out of reach as far as i can see
my advice is if you doing choose your own advanture mission, There 3 stages in sequences key collecting, color button, and killing accordingly to the color. to make this mission easier you might need to restart the missions few time to make sure the killing is at the 3rd stages
since the 3rd stage layout is hard to climb and move around
Oh i know, the Lymantrias were so bloody annoying
if you can get the killing to the 3rd stage its gonna be much more easier cos they come to you instead of chasing them
What if you
Wanted to climb a ladder
But a Lymantria said
Knocks you off ladder
bring a tek sword
u can use tek sword to dash up like the tek gaunlet
so some place i would just tek sword up instead of climb
Dont have the engram
then you just have to do the climbing
Climbing aint the issue, the issue is the key that's out of reach cuz its too high up and no platforms are close enough
was it at the 3rd stage?
Yea
thats why if you can try reset till you get the 3rd stage is kills instead of key collecting
the layout is truly anoyying for the 3rd stage
hey I just got my first maewing and I clicked pickup baby but it isn't showing the baby next to it?
what is a good mount to kill baby shadowmanes with, im breeding a ton of them for mutations
currently using a thylacoleo
Would breed near lava and just send them straight into lav
or use a high lvl giga that will may one hit them, a thyla takes mutiple hits and takes due shadowmanedebuff more dmg i guess
lightning wyvern maybe arent getting dmg with the breath attack so thats another way
Does anyone know wat the build cap on official is
Why don't you just use a shadowmane?
didn't have much open space in my breeding area
in PvE we had two dragons with attack cranked up and "the incenerator corner"
just pile all the fails into the corner and me and my buddy spam fire on them. fire does more damage to carnos
well okay so, fire does a percentage based attack. so they end up dying faster
how would you lure the unclaimed ones into a corner in the first place
especially with live birth creatures I am working with
and sadly because this is only my second ever mutation chain I made the fatal mistake of making my breeding area too small, it just barely fits in here ._.
I might have to redesign the entire building if this the thing I am trying to squeeze in does not work now
we don't unclaim them
can magmasaurs hit you when you're on your mount? i'm planning on getting some eggs but i'm not sure if i'd be able to take a hit.
fireballs yeah, but not the melee
trying to tank a fireball on your mount is like trying to eat a nuclear bomb. avoid them at all costs because the rider will most likely get instantly one shot from 1 fireball and half they time they just death stare you until you let your guard down for half a nanosecond.
alright, thanks
what mount
probably gonna be using a maewing or griffin
maewings fine, just steal the eggs far away from magma, or lure them away they are slow
and also they have a time between fireballs so u can moiunt off
so once they use their first fireball, i'm safe from them for a bit?
no.
2-4 secs
youre never safe, theres always going to be 3 different magmasaurs somewhere preparing their fireball
so not very safe
i really hope that the first egg i see is a high level, i don't wanna be in there for more then 10 seconds
i personally use a bloodstalker. dangle from the ceiling then drop down and grab the egg bedore they finish the aggro animation
If ur are advanced use turrets to kill them its how we also do it , or use giga
playing on lost island, so no bloodstalkers
oh that magma trench is eassyy asf
fr?
yea its a bit closer to the magmas but never had trouble there due the strucutre of the cave
i think u can even fly in there
alright, i'll probably use a griffin then because of the maewings being more of a glider then a flyer
How can I make a back up of my local world save file. I would be installing ark on another PC and I would like to continue playing my saved game
I heard I can make a backup and simply copy the 'Saved' folder but I'm unsure if it's working, because that way playing other's character would also be possible in ark, but I generally don't see it being common so I'm confused. Kindly help me out.
@marsh moth I used to religiously use a Griffin as I found it to be the quickest and most maneuverable for my needs. However egg stealing grew boring, so now I use land dinos (usually when I have breeding going just in case). Much more fun. On a Thyla, it was still pretty easy.
Hazmat suit helps with fire protection, not sure if that was mentioned
How do I play with a friend in single player?
Host non dedicated and hope it wants to work
Guys I got banned from ark mobile discord for nothing and want to appeal, can I speak to someone about it?
Their verification bot is down. If you were banned, you wouldn't be in that discord at all. Even so, this discord is not affiliated with that one.
Hey is their a way to remove the tether in ps4?
no, non-dedi will always have a tether. need to go to a dedicated to get rid of it (you can't host and play at the same time)
Okay thank you
guys my friend cannot join in my server what i have to do?
to resolve this problem
Is there an error code?
to the screen appears "lost host"
me too bro π¦
and before was "Unknow code"
Is the server dedicated or non-dedicated
not dedicated
His ping might be too high to join. If he is extremely far away from your host station, his computer may not be able to connect due to the ping

how make dino have get hungry quickly while dino is sleeping?
In un offical or solo you can use mods to make your life easier however in offical I cannot think of any way. I would also advise leting it starve out a bit befor adding food to start the taiming process
how i open the NAT
https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/38168-help-me-get-my-nat-to-open/ preatty usefull thread for that sort of thing
even having torpor that drops very fast? for example giganotosaurus.
is there any way that I can download DLCs onto another drive?
im messing around in creative mode and i dont know hwo to summon stuff but i want to
how might this be fixed
alright I've been messing for absolute damn ages trying to get a shadowmane breeding setup for mutation but it keeps failing, mostly because the breeding range for shadowmanes is so comically damn low in singleplayer that I can at absolute maximum mate with 4 shadowmanes at a time, or 6 total if I clip the male into the females but that would mean that I would have to put the females back in place everytime I replace the male
does anyone have any suggestions?
My friend and I are playing through Epic games and we can't seem to set up our own non-dedicated server to play privately with each other. Any advice?
Me friend his hosting a server on his pc through windows 10 and me and my friends canβt join (on Xbox or pc) the server has worked thus far but suddenly it says join failed when I try and join. He has restarted it multiple times. Any ideas how to fix?
Can he join the server or are you the only one unable to?
for some reason I am no longer seeing what I am gathering?
why did all my single player setting reset to default and all my progress and everything i had on aberration got reset??
im in singleplayer and i bred to dinos 1 was high lvl one was low and i got the high lvls melee on the baby but on the baby its 2% higher but there is no mutation?
ark glitchin cause yeeeeee
huh
na fr thts def a glitch that isnt suposed to hapen
is it bad or will i be fine
You could have accidentally imprinted the baby, if not then Iβm not sure
how to live in blue zone on ab? never even tried that.. any tips? i wanna do cliff platform
does getting a better longneck rifle increase torpor damage done by tranq darts?
yes
thanks!
No cuz they just hatched
Depending on your imprint timers, this could still be possible?
no there normal
Are the fjordur loot drop tables available anywhere? I need a few specific saddles
Not sure if there is a list on the wiki but if you have access to a computer then you can get a free application called beacon which can list out exactly what each drop has and the chance it has to drop.
I can't make a non-dedicated server through Epic Games
how do you remove dye from the spray painter?
attempting to breed R-direwolves on fjordur and i dont know what to do. trying to get 1 with high melee and health. never done this big of a breeding project. (mutations,etc) and i want to be prepared and know how to do it in the future with boss dinos,etc
sorry, wats the question?
i dont know how to setup a mass breeding circle
for like health,melee and then breed them together to get a wolf with both stats
i usually like to find my best stats have them into a breeding pair and then get atleast 5-10 females mating with 1 male. they all have the exact same stat lvls so you only have to see a lvl increase if theres a mutation
iv never done specific breeding so i dont know abouyt that either
i have usually just breed just to breed
then you have 2 seperate groups of each consisting of 1 male and 5-10 females. you kill all the babies that does not have a mutation into the desired stat (keep colors if you so choose) and after getting one mutation you breed the mutated stat in and get the 5-10 females and male with the mutated stat effectively getting rid of the original 6-11 wolves
if you havent really bred for stats and such id suggest watching a few videos of syntac breeding and his breeding guide it should clear up some things as well
okay so do stats/levels for the females matter or do i just need like the highest stat male
Technically the stats on the females dont matter, just as long as their mutation counter is 0. For convenience though, most people have the same base start stats as the unmutated male, or 0 points in their stats
yeah i learned to never pump stats on a dino u wana breed so you know like base stat
so basically find the highest stat (and level) male and just tame a bunch of high females and once you get a higher stat of the stat your breeding for you swap male out and continute process
Most pve breeding prefers to use what is called the perfect stats on both male and female lines, which just means they have the same stats, while most pvp breeding prefers 0 points to stats on the females
im single player and only going to be doing this for bosses and random fun mutations
for that i would just say what kind of time commitments are you willing to do. if its alot go the pve breeding route if its a "i wanna get this over with and just use them" id say go for the pvp route and get a better saddle bp
so if i do pve breeding should i keep looking for the highest stat male/female or is that the pvp strat
im going to do saddle bp for either pve/pvp anyway
basically pve breeding is alot more complicated where you figure out the best health stat/melee stat comparing all of the stats of your wolves breeding those stats into a male and female while also having all other stats the same this renders the breeding pair the same lvl and all babies will be the same lvl unless you get a mutation
Uh, I would say that is the simpler way but okay lol
well just in terms of time management to me. pvp is more of throwing things together and just making it work (my opinion i do not and will not play pvp so if its not that then apologies)
Thats not really the case lol. Breeding in pvp is typically more optimized and efficient than most operations in pve, as the goal isnt to get 10 or 20 mutations, but to cap an entire line in the shortest possible time. It takes a lot more work
ah ok yeah makes alot of sense bc otherwise you could get raided lose everything and such
I mean, both PvE and PvP breeding is the same
you go as fast as you can for both don't you? I guess PvP tends to have more females but I've seen PvE bases do that too 
PvE breeding also cares about colors and stats
so would add a bit :P but PvP breeders sometimes do that as well.
It's more so you have the better line before other tribe
honestly in the end i'd say it comes down to the type of breeder you are. doesnt matter if you are pvp or pve if you really wanna do something you'll find a way to do it
yeah, way more based on you and rates then PvE or PvP
Does anyone use Automated Ark together with S+? For some reason, S+ keeps pulling fertilizer from my fertilizer silo into my control console. I asked the developer of AA, but he said it's an S+ thing and hadn't used it in a long time.
I don't know much about AA or your specific issue, but fwiw tems getting pulled from locations where they should stay put has indeed been an S+ issue that I've seen before. Preserving bins pulling meat/oil from other preserving bins while setting up jerky production, as one example.
On second thought, is the resource pull function strictly S+?
is there anyway to make tamed dinos eat less food but wild dinos eat the normal amount?
S+ has automation in a lot of its structures
why don't you use its own automation?
Yes, it's in the settings on the wiki. Just search there for food or drain
S+ pull can pull from all structures (unless they are currently crafting, then it might not)
I think if you pin code stuff they don't pull tho 
Dunno about the PIN thing, but structures with an asterisk (*) in the custom name are ignored by any pull function.
E.g. I keep fungal wood in a small box off in a corner that's labeled *Special*
don't want to use fungal wood in your wood recipes 
Right. I've screwed myself immediately after a fungal wood run too many times π
yeah π I've done that before
Iirc compost bins are also generous with their recipe contributions (thatch)
Heh. I did too for a long time, until I realized that the Farmer can also supply compost bins.
Beetles are still better, but not by as much a margin as I'd thought
not with automated compost bins, but dung beetles are much faster and don't use thatch :P they also make oil
Right, they're a little better for those reasons
Partially depends on your resource management practices. Oil rig out produces beetles, and sometimes I find I have enough spare thatch to keep bins supplied just fine
I found it but not seeing the settings in the game settings so where do I find the text file with all the settings in it?
people use oil rigs?
Anyway, @rare berry , I wouldn't assume that S+ is necessarily the culprit at this point
all the server settings*
That's why I steered you to the wiki. Many settings are not included in the ini and you need to add them (and possibly a header) yourself
ahh, I just thought you were sending me so I could find the settings to edit
I will read through it
@pine token I'm confused now. How do I stop S+ from pulling things? I've been using the AA compost bin and fertilizer silo in conjunction with the S+ seamless crop plots. The fertilizer silo distributes fertilizer to crop plots evenly, but for whatever reason, S+ keeps putting a bunch of fertilizer in the control console for AA.
I would suggest just using the S+ automation 
Can you elaborate a little on how you're using a+ to pull things?
I'm not. I didn't even know S+ did that. I just keep finding a bunch of fertilizer in the AA control console when there is plenty of space in the silo.
I went to the blue zone to make a base but I put the cliff platform in an awkward place and I died to a megalo
Time to go save my ravager
if things are going into the AA console I'd assume its AA not S+ 
only a few things in S+ actively push items.
So the game launches fine, but whenever I try to enter a server, it starts up, then freezes.
This happened 5 times now.
And usually results in losing everything currently on me
It's offical, sp works just fine.
The reason being child classes and that generally Ark allows using child classes to craft. Chitin/keratin for example
Seems to be only Offical fordjur1924, other servers work just fine.
Anyone know if ark2 will have PvP?
I would be super surprised if it did not
they said "β a rarity for the PvP survival genre." in the message from the founders on the ark 2 update.
they also say "Opposing PvE Force" which they would just say opposing NPC force if it was only PvE
in the description on steam (as well as that ark 2 update on survive the ark)
Only pve mode would kill this game
its already confirmed its gonna have both, see my above message :P
how to create cementing paste?
mortar and pestle with chitin/keratin and stone is the main way.
thank you
I also cannot find where to learn Meat Jerky. It doesn't seem to be in the engram list
its not an engram. learn the preserving bin.
put sparkpowder, oil, and cooked meat in it to make jerky
where u guys are farming element? Gen2 or the new spots in Fjordur? i didn't play any of those but i'm thinking to start a base/outpost in some map to start farming some. is Fjordur any better than gen2?
fjordor ftw
Tks my friend
is there a trick to taming Moschops? I don't seem to be able to have the taming option
gen2 is better by far. fjordur is spread out between a couple caves
none of which are that great :P unless its to be used on fjordur go gen2
also can only make ele dust on genesis and ext so :P
damn i've never notice it, thats true! so i'm gonna be there k
i always wonder why gen2 terminals tribute inventory are that way.. no criopods/criofridge craft either.. but now i get it.
if somebody else started the tame, you can't tame them
moschops are pretty often left alone after they start as they have that random food need to tame
fjordor ab cave you can get 20-40 element per run with a stryder.
and why leave fjordor
fjordur is far worse than gen2 for element
fjordur is good as an ab/ci alternative for poly
as I said, unless its to be used on fjordur go to gen2
gen2 is way better than any other map.
gen2 you get 6-18k element per run with a stryder lol
how long is your run. ab cave run is 5 minutes
tks for the info. people are hyping a lot those ele spots.. specially on Yt, i was thinking if gen2 was better or not. but still so.
if you want a short run, 10 minutes on gen1 is 1.6k
fair
I just complete my 5Β° mission on gen2, will start looking for a lvl 15 Stryder so
nice
i've see some, but i got no mutagen in time
they were a bit better before the volcano nerfs
still not insane as youtube unoffi makes it out to be, but worth the mention
u can make on gen2 wdym
gen2 with stryder u can get like 3k per run
and that's just a tiny run
jumped in mid conversation there huh
don't got time to read
tldr
tldr
genesis is gen1 and gen2
note I didn't use any numbers
this was also said 
I'm used to ppl only referring to gen1 when they say genesis
yes I don't read
Does anyone here have experience mutating shadowmanes in singleplayer? their breeding range is so painfully low in singleplayer even compared to other dinos in sp. it keeps ruining my setups.
I canβt craft anything or farm anything like the stuff I destroy wonβt get into my inv
using mods ?
yeah somewhat
No but I realised that I had so many skins in my inventory that it was full xd
Still thx for answering
Im doing single player rn to get into the game and i kept dying and taking everything out of the corpses with these skins u have when respawning
if ya want on the settings page in game you can uncheck default survivor items and next time you respawn you won't get them
Ok thx
elaborate please
Can I transfer creatures/characters across non dedicated servers?
on what part ?
Yes unless it's disabled BUT fertilised eggs and cryoed dinos will have their data wiped and be set to level 1
bro I ask for help and you reply with basically "ive done it" and then not proceed to elaborate
great thx
you actually haven't asked for anything. you just said has anybody bred shadows before I'm running out of room
I don't know what it is your wanting my guy don't lash out at me.
the whole structure of the sentence implies that i require help, why would I be posting it in the first place if I didn't need it
anyways do you have a solution to my problem though
ya. I get that. but unless you state what, or I pull out my crystal ball how on earth would people know what it is you want help with
you could be a random dude on the side of the road just saying help. okay sure here's a bag of sand. oh not what you needed?
shoulda probably said I need help with....
I still am no closer to understanding your probl. so I guess no I don't have a solution for you
good luck dude
the issue was directly stated in the very first message, their breeding range is so low that I cannot find a proper breeding setup
really because I can scroll up and that's not how you worded it at all.
whatever dude. again, good luck.
it was stated clearly enough in my first post imo, sure it could've been a bit better but come on man, do you please have an anwer to my problem though
Breeding range is confusingly different in singleplayer, and I don't think the mechanic treats different dinos differently per se. It seems to involve a combination of minimum proximity and (from what I feel like I've observed so far, although it's hard to accept) dinos facing certain directions.
Hopefully I understood your implied question correctly (which was how to ensure that they continue breeding)
I would say the size of the dino affects the area too, a rex for example you can easily fit 12 into one male's range but shadowmanes are a very special bad case scenario
I can fit 4 of them max but even then its glitchy at best
One solution I've found that works sometimes is to build a structure around the dinos, place them near one another and start them mating, and any females who would not mate I would place on the ceiling of the structure, and then I'd remove the ceiling and allow them to drop down
Even when floating in the air above the male, a female would often begin mating anyway
I did this with Ravagers
Anyway, it's definitely not just proximity, from what I've seen, but I haven't fully figured out what's going on
Interesting idea about dino size, that could be another factor. And it reminded me of the idea i had that some dino models seem to tolerate closer proximity than others.
how would I make it so Chinese characters dont show up as boxes anymore?
I downloaded a language pack but it makes the game look like garbage and messes with all the textures idk why.
hey guys , im having a couple of problems. first one is that i crash after 10-15 mins of playtime and when i try to join back, my whole computer freezes and i have to restart. second one is that when i try to join my one friend, connection times out no matter what. he restarted, i restarted, everything. anyone got a fix as this makes it unplayable. im on steam in this case btw
How sure are you that those playera are actually Chinese? Could be Korean, Japanese, or in some other Asian group.
As to making the game look like garbage, etc., I have no idea.
I mean in general
Oh, so you want to impliment it for yourself? Sorry, I'm trying to figure out what the goal/use case is here.
ok you when people type in a language that isnt English and it shows up in [][][][]
yeah I dont want that, i want to be able to see what they are saying
Okay. So wouldn't the first thing to do be to make sure which language it actually is? You said it was Chinese and a Chinese language pack didn't work, so what if it's actually, say, Korean?
I downloaded a pack that has all the languages but it fucks with the textures for whatever reason and I am not smart enough to figure out why
I don't know enough about how language packs might affect ARK textures, sorry.
after testing way damn more than I should have I can only come to one conclusion
shadowmane mating in singleplayer is absolute nonsense and nothing makes sense: an example is that their mating range is specifically smaller to the top left side of their heads and only the left side, not the right.
only viable setup I can find where I can fit 6 mates in is one where I have to move some females everytime I get a new male
this was an absolute blood boiling experience
I know tek fed suits protects from radiation but do they protect from mushrooms too
yes they do
Thanks
but be careful tho, exo fed suit sometimes bug out, so b4 you went to the red zone, try with mushroom if its dont works re-equip all the suit again
Ok
While testing I was also seeing mating behavior varying when facing different directions.
Anyone else having issues with the rail gun π« not working?
I thought they'd disabled it a few weeks or so ago tbh
Finally got the boss done and can't even try it out. Why and are they going to enable it agsin?
As a volunteer I do not know when or if they plan to implement it again. I believe they originally removed it as it was part of an exploit? (If I'm wrong, please feel free to step in.)
is there any stat to lvl an oviraptor to boost their buff? like range or effectiveness?
does anyone know why when i'm hosting a dedicated server, the person trying to join me gets joining failed connection timeout every time and how to fix it
In need of some help I have 3 scorpions 2 female 1 male I'm trying to breed 1 female breed but the other won't anyone know why and how to fix?
Get them closer
cheaters are the reason
Recommended shadowmane stats for alpha master controller?
@merry hill I've got them pretty much on top of each other and the 1 that did breed has been moved far away still nothing
Whats the best thing to level for stryder can you increase the harvest rates
is breeding enabled?
are they in render distance?
so when talking about mutations i realized i dont know a key part of it. when breeding you want the mutations on the male ancestry i believe right? but that limits it to 20 mutations. 40 if you have 20 plus 20 on moms side. how do you go above that?
If we're talking about singleplayer I've also had success with trying to point males in various directions until they finally began mating. Distance from the female doesn't seem to be the only factor
When I get on to ark on my computer(win11) it runs for around 5min and then it stops working, even after multiple restarts. Does anyone how to fix my issue
Stryders can be upload right after tame? or do i have to wait that "hidden cooldown" ?
and how much it is?15 hours?
Does the mutation breeding method of a bunch of cloned females work?
I had over 100 cloned, low level female 0 mutation gigas that Iβm breeding onto a male, trying to get a melee mutation. Am I understanding that correctly or am I doing something wrong
the thing is if they are low lvl if you get a melee mutation theres always that chance that it goes on the lower melee stat
Thats fine. Its 50/50, right?
65 35
So if I get my current highest, the males mutation, I want it as much as I want the females current mutation.
Male has 65% chance of passing on stats
I donβt care about getting the current melee, just progressing the melee further
Am I doing that the best way possible?
Yuh, that's the way I do it
Whats the chance for a mutation? Iβve just come back to ark and I feel like it used to be wayy faster.
Iβve probably hatched over 2000 eggs without a single mut
Ur trippin
On melee.
.
24 hrs Iβm pretty sure
tks!!
Ive got a big issue, I just completed an OSD defense and the loot that spawned had a 1 MINUTE despawn timer which isnt nearly enough for me to pick it up is there any way to fix this??
whip
that's all i've got for you
whip and a gasbags on standby
does anyone know how to show compies dem apples early game (without tools or anything)
will ice titan work?
long as it has a lot of weight
i recommended gasbags because they're more maneuverable
If a friend has gen 1 missions done, and the other doesn't, can they complete the boss as well? Literally asking for a friend. I have them completed, they do not. I know gen 2 doesn't work that way but someone said gen 1 anyone can come?
Do wild creatures aggro on mounted/tamed stryders?
Only the person who starts it needs the mission requirements on gen1
righto sweet then
Just broke a bee hive and no queen came out. What the hell happened?
How long does it take for Dinoβs to respawm after killing them? This is for spino sails
eh could have gone into the floor or the wall or who knows
I made a player dedicated server on my spare xbox and no matter what i do itβs not showing up on the server list on my main xbox
They get destroyed by wild dino wipes but the structure itself doesnβt
How do you get the flak blueprints on gen2 that go overcap
Is it visible to anyone else?
join off the friendslist
my pfp scared me
I forgot I changed it lol
π
Does leveling melee on stryder affect the harvest amount
jes
I was reading about the fish basket on the wiki and was wondering, if I spawned in a shadowmane on the Center map, how would I go about obtaining a filled fish basket in order to tame it? The wiki lead me to the thought that you can't fill a fish basket with fish like coelacanth unless you intend to tame them. Is this correct?
putting a fish in a basket allows you to transport it. you can use the action again and release it into another lake, or feed it to a shadow
as far as getting them a long distance it may not be relatively easy. they have a timer once filled, you can just try and fly fast or use various "cheesy" methods
Do I have to use any particular kind of fish to tame them? Or will any work?
any will work, but they go by weight for effectiveness. general rule of thumb is nothing under 1.0. ideally everything 1.5 or above.
Wasn't there some sort of nerf related to piranhas at some point?
Picking up a fish with a basket tames the fish but that item you get can also be fed
Putting it in your hotbar and standing in water refreshes the timer
i didnt do much but glad things works out for you, cheers
What is the quickest tool to harvest metal?
Stryder<drill<pick axe
i'm not sure.. i made some tests in singleplayer but due to the op amount, i could not see any difference. maybe theres a boost but its capped at some %.. But the cannon attack and the stamp scales up a lot. i could hit kill almost anything using the cannon beam with 600% melee
isn't anky better than drill?
primitive drill i mean
On nitrado if i wanted to make tamed dino torpor drain faster (because of cryo sickness) would i turn tameddinotorpordrainmultiplier up or down?
why not just disable cryosickness?
Doesnt work on pvp
a small price to pay, indeed.
Yeah but if i can get that setting working it wont matter as much
cryosickness still applies when something wakes up though
How? It just makes them fall asleep
they also take some ridiculous damage modifier (i think it was 10x or 20x)
it might also prevent riding but i dont remember
Yeah but id only really be using it for breeding at taking creatures to obs for bossfights
And*
valid point, anyway, i think you'd need to put the multiplier up.
Yeah imma try that see what happens
He asked about tools. I just threw the stryder in there because itβs unbeatable
Iβm not in their discord, when I get an invite it says invalid and I tired even the discordgg link
Are dunkles on Ragnarok
/playarkmobile ?
Which are generally heavier fish? Is there a way to tell just by looking at them?
eh. fishing is just kinda random. any can be big or small
and yeah the number above them is weight.
So one particular species isn't typically heavier than another?
That's the size
They also look physically bigger than other fish of the same species
fish peaking out the blinds
Pretty sure it's 6x
line from the wiki "receive increased damage if attacked (10x normal damage), and renders the creature unconscious with a full bar of torpor"
its 10x
Yes and it doesnβt work cause I got banned or something
No idea then, sorry
can anyone privately dm me some spots they found themselves or no one knows about
Iβve been wiped 10 times this month
And my duo just got grounded for 6 weeks
im taming a iggy and ravger and i got server manteince message will it stay if its knocked out
pls be quick
Load it up with narcotics and cross your fingers
will a dino go if i have not knocked it out yet
More than likely a lot of the time there is a complete wild Dino wipe when a server goes down
k thanks
Easy π
dang, 1.25 gig update on steam for ark
is this update purely for servers or are there other things too?
yeah maybe client update has the holloween event stuff in it
is there not a more detailed update log out there
nope and reading patch notes again, it does have a client version change listed
where
is the patch notes in the first place besides the #patch-notes that basically says nothing
btw what is the best dino to kill party dodos with
im farming chibis in singleplayer
Is there any update? I'm not at home and what is it about
when are servers back on
can be 10 min can be hours, depending on how long it takes them to update and start them
sad i was in the middle of taminga iggy
how well would a 80H 80M shadowmane do against alpha controller?
How do I transfer my dinos from a sp world to my mp server using the obelisks? I put the dinos I want to tranfer into the obelisk's creature tab, but they aren't appearing in my multiplayer server when I access the same tab on the same obelisk, even though I don't think that matters iirc.
tried to transfer my character to fjordur and got the message, What do I do
Downloading transferred character Failed. 007 -
Failed while downloading transferred character with
code: 1256 and Msg:
can you not net some creatures?
when does the server update become available ?
You can't...that would be an absolute mess. People could just use a SP game to get insanely high level dinos instantly, then transfer them to a MP server and slaughter people.
@tawdry birch Uhhh yes you can. Unless they nerfed the transfering system in the last year. I've done it before.
If you own the multiplayer server you uncheck where it says disable dino transfer from other servers and make sure it is allowed but if it isn't your server you aren't able. There is no option for it on official nor if you don't own the actual server
Ok. Thank you.
Good luck π
I rent it. But they should allow that setting to be changed. I guess every server host has different rules. I'll ask...
Nitrado?
If you rent via Nitrado it should be under cross ark
Sorry, I read that as you were transferring to Official somehow. Lol.
No. I rent my unofficial server from Hosthavoc.
Ah well if it comes down to it you can always just spawn your dinos in
there should be an option somewhere that says "prevent survivor-download" or "prevent dino-download" and you should make sure those AREN'T enabled.
if you are unable to find them, i suggest contacting support.
question how do i fix Network Failure error i was having fun then ark kicked me and i can't join my favorite cluster server
all of them seem to be down
what is the recommended health for dinos with ascendant saddles to do alpha bosses?
so my server is not finding an update, it's hosted using steam cmd, what do?????
Can someone please tell me some spots they found themselves bro I literally have been wiped 11 times this month
no spots are safe
Any one here knows how to manualy update server in Ark Server Manager? It doesn't budges with Upgrade/Verify
hey guys i got a serious question why does most the points i pumped into melee on my megatherium vanish after putting it into a soul trap?
is the redwoods or snow better for megatheriums on fjordur? i feel like they may spawn more in red woods but there are thylas and i hate redwoods so was wandering if the snow would be the next best bet if i should try one of the realms or whatever
When does arkpoc wipe
Fjordur Thylas don't hang out in trees fyi
And if you check the spawn map, you'll note that megatheriums are supposedly more common in Midgard snow
No in-game mechanic that I'm aware of would do that
ah ok. also tbh ive never looked at a spawn map bc im guessing its on the wiki and i just dont go on wiki lol. apologies
Oh no worries
Yeah, it's in the wiki. Even if you (understandably) want to to avoid spoilery or min-maxing stuff on the wiki, it's great for locating spawns.
More than 255 points rolls over to one. Restarts, cryopod, obelisk also fo this. This is an ark limitation
when does arkpoc wipe?
Friday, October 7th. Unsure of the time.
How long to items and dinos stay in the tribute terminal?
24hrs
Ok. Thanks.
@plain stagthank you!
dont put in tribute its accesible by everyone, put in ark data
I know that, I just wanted to know how long items inside the transfer terminal take to despawn, if at all. Which apparently is 24 hours. So I took them out until the servers are back up.
They have 24hrs from the moment you put them in there and that timer resets if you were to take them out and place them in it again
The timer only ticks down while the server is active, so if the server is down your items will be safe.
what is this update
Plugging holes
cool
I'm wondering the same after building a polymer farm... The seagull (can't remember name) doesn't either.
It's specifically a dead baby kairuku that you didn't imprint I'm assuming.. like mine
yea i figured it out, since hatched unclaimed baby dinos are technically tamed, you can't damage them since in pve, the only ones you can damage are your own tames, so you have to imprint on them to be able to kill them
Ahhh.. I see... Bummer. my automated polymer farm won't work then which I already figured. Thanks
can you bring rock drakes into any boss fight?
Probably. Dinos are let into boss fights strictly based on size, I believe
I bred, raised, and imprinted an argy and now it says the owner is someone else and tamed by them instead of imprinted by me. As far as I know they were just riding her a bit. Any way to fix this?
I still get the imprinted buff
At some point, that other person must have interacted with the Argy in some way
could it be the cryopod?
Oh, yep, cryopodding and letting someone else uncryo can transfer dino ownership (depending on server settings)
But it would not affect imprinting
When does ark poc wipe
Did singleplayer maps get wiped in this new update? I've just logged onto my game to find everything except my character gone
Should be around the 9th
I donβt think sp ever wipes
SP doesnβt get wiped by devs, but heβs not the first here to be asking exactly this.
what are the large round platforms called which you can place on the ground
There are large round teleporters, but I do not know of platforms.
does anyone know why me and my friends always crash at the beginning of the woolly rhino race on genesis 1 ?
Can you send the crash message?
why can't i summon portals to the other realms in fjordur?
never mind was doing it wrong
i saw a clip of syntac building like a breeding area on one of them (fjordur i think) if that helps
You can make a large round platform with triangle pieces and square pieces.
ok, thats probably it. I thought it was like one big structure like a tree platform or sth. Anyways, thank you very much
I did a dino wipe and it works now, thanks anyway. most of the crash lines were from lost island ???
That's just the build name. But if a dinowipe solved it, sounds like potentially the ice golems.. Would you mind sending me the crash message anyway so i can look into it?
I didnt take a screenshot of it sorry
is itsaved somewhere
You can find it in Saved>logs as a .crachstack file
in the server data or mine?
Depends who crashed- server or client
well there's definitely similarities to the golems.. do you have any mods?
yes, i dont have any mods that add dinos tho, i guess rare dinos is one
Would you mind sending your modlist?
Does anyone know when the Ark sale on Steam is going to be done?
I will when I can, I sent you the crash log
is already
Cliff platform
You can only place them on the ground if you angle them a certain way.
okay i will try that
Is 20k health enough to tame a level 100 tuso?
depends on taming rates
Cliff plats can sort of almost be placed on the ground, fyi. I've been able to place them on very small rock formations jutting out of otherwise flat ground, resulting in what resembles a cliff plat on flat ground, at first glance. @jagged schooner
But I'm guessing syntac would probably have mentioned that detail.
20k HP on what?
Mosa
Im use sharks with good saddles, around 10-15k HP or carbonemys
Too late
I already tamed two tusos
How to effectively farm metal on gen1
where can I find turtles on the Island map?
beach
unless you mean megachelon, in which case the answer is "nowhere"
should i use an army of rex's or spino's for bossfights on the island
If you donβt have any tames or that much stuff on you, just kill yourself and respawn at your base
ok
you don't have a compass or map to pinpoint your base location?
goddammit, I think I see my base wayyyyy in the distance, I have to swim to it, or walk a long distance around the coastline, I also have a tamed animal tagging along π
I don't think I'll swim in the darkness, I bet there's a jumpscare dinosaur in the water π
there's a setting you can enable to have the map show your location
thx
if it's your singleplayer/server, it'll be available in the menu before you join
ok π
how does the SS egg incubator work
@carmine lance . I need to talk you about a serious thing. Can you add me to friend?
I need to talk to you about your car warranty.
Short answer is you power it, insert eggs, and it shows egg stats and incubates
how does the select eggs with wanted stats setting work
I haven't used that feature
CAN ANYONE HELP?? My friend and i were playing on a non dedicated server just fine before the last update now he cant join my game??
oh shoot yeah i remember syntac talking abt this now tysm
What points should I upload to a strider to farm?
Weight
are you able to tame X and R dinos?
Yep!
Can't get the admin commands bar to pop up, xbox, dedicated server, anyone know whats up?
thanks! what is the difference between them and normal dinos?
May need to look on the wiki https://ark.wiki.gg I do not remember exactly

Is the glitch for gauntlets still around or any glitch
is there a setting to make dinos breed faster? i cant find it
not the mating interval but just how fast they mate
Egg laying intervals is I believe breeding speed
ok, thank you so much
Np
crap, it didnt work
it only changes the speed of how dinos lay unfertilized eggs on their own, not the breeding speed
MatingSpeedMultiplier in game.ini
is that a command? or am i just dumb
its a configuration file on PC, see the pins on how to get to it
oh, ok, thank you i appreciate it
you might need to add MatingSpeedMultiplier can't remember if its there or not
ok
how many pets can maewings have in their cages? I heard 4 so I put 4 in but I am only seeing 2?
It's 4
Gigas I think is the only one that can't be picked up(besides sea tames)
It's most likely a visual glitch
Just bring up the wheel and drop em
4 should drop
Then 2
The back two go invisible. Going out of render and back or dropping and picking babies back up fixes.
Way to change how high the stack thingy go on console or not possible?
Managrmr can't be picked up either.
If you are raising Magmasaurs you sometimes have to jump with the Maewing and do the pickup when dropping on it.
I haven't breed Manas in a while
So I just joined, mainly because my friends and I cant seem to get a non dedicated server running. Whenever one of us tries to join the other it always just says that there's was a connection error or something along the lines. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

What do baby shadowmanes eat?
meat. they don't have a special food
does leveling melee for wyverns increase their breath attacks?
Yes but only up to a certain point
so it isn't worth putting many points into it?
If youβre only concerned about breath just go to the cap
I think itβs like 100 damage per tick on a fire wyvern
I could be wrong
ahh okay, thanks!
Thanks! I'll be sure to try that next time!
Does anyone know if there is a way to fix a cryopod that won't deploy?
throw it into a larger space
I'm throwing it into a completely open space, but I think the reason it isn't working is because I accidentally removed All Color Dinos from my load order.
ah, your using mods
yeah that mod remaps literally everything it changes the colours on just to do that
if you had been using dino storage it would have been fixable, but you've just lost pretty much all your dinos now
yikes
you can revert to a backup, and add the mod back, but this is precisely why i wouldn't use any old colour changing mods and would use dino storage
there weren't any 'good' ways to edit coloursets until recently-ish so most of them are unstackable or remap obscene amounts of dinos
Uh. Good thing I made a backup then. It seemed to have worked. Are there any dino recolor mods that you would recommend that work better?
Doesn't remap anything and it'll work on any dino, including modded ones
You can convert the remapped ones back to vanilla with Dino Storage though
I can make you the ini line you'd need to convert them when im free a bit later
Hi I have a question I'm currently playing on official and want to know is blocking off an obelisk allowed so that my tribe can safely run bosses? Or is obelisk blocking not allowed and bannable?
@stiff topaz I dont suppose you know anything about Gnasty's kibble vending machine, do you? Every time I go near it I get blinded by purple flashes shooting out of it. I'm the only one on my server who gets it though.
Any ideas?
Light bloom setting maybe
Ok. I'll look...
Do you want to use DS to convert the remapped dinos back?
if private server wildcard dosent moderate it
if official pvp basically you can build anywhere.(except mesh)
if PvE then no. you cannot block off "key" points like obelisks
Just rolling back to my back up worked for me. I'm curious though, is there a way to switch between all color dinos and ACS and preserve the dinos that I have that are currently remapped by ACD? Or would I have to spawn in new creatures and manually recolor them?
Well you can run both together and it'll work but the remapped dinos will still be preventing alphas spawning (as is a commonly reported issue in the discussions for the mod), breaking compatibility with any dino editing mods that actually need to edit the dinos, and of course if loaded without the mod they'll still disappear/break
So dino storage will let you turn them back into a vanilla dino- retaining the colours, stats, everything. but you can then remove ACD and they'll remain\
Does ACD make wind dinos spawn in with any color, or do I have to set that up? I'm just thinking of it isn't too complicated, I might switch to yours.
Yes, but with more potential customisation.
So by default, there's about 3 dozen different coloursets any dino can spawn with. So it might spawn with a 'blue' colourset, and spawn with a bunch of blues. Or the volcanic one, and spawn in reds and blacks. Only a 20% chance by default, but it's easy to make that 100%
You can also make it 'literally just any colour' (this includes genesis colours, which the other mod doesn't). Also easy to set up like that
Is it restricted to specific colorsets or could I set it so that any color region can be any color? That would be super cool.
You can make any region any colour- Because there's a colourset that is just 'every region is every colour'
Cool. Could you please walk me through how I would go through the process of converting my remapped dinos to vanilla while maintaining their colors with Dino Storage?
You'd need the convertclass config line, which I can write for you a bit later
what does yuty turret mode do? (Im on a server if that changes anything)
My son loves ARK, however, he really wants me to help him build a stadium where the Dinos fight each other like he has seen on Youtube. Does anyone know if this is easy to do or is it something I need to finish the game to do?
Use thatch
you could do it "normal"
building, depending on what you want to make it out of can be done early game, depending on what dinos that would be about the same
or you can just enable cheats grant yourself all the building materials, and manually spawn in the dinos

posting links here is fun
lol. thanks
I swear is something wrong with fjordur's deino nests? I've hatched dozens of level 140+ eggs and I have not even once seen a stat roll close to 30
people told me that you search for 40+ levels in 224 tames and level 30+ in 150 tames so far
hence I thought that
what's the diff between Join Ark and Host/Local?
30+ is pretty damn lucky. i'd settle for anything above 25
ah alright
also Im about to finish my second ever mutation chain
im hyped as shit
Join Ark will take you to the server page where you can find a server to join.
Host/Local allows you to start your own single player world or host your own server for people to play on
also am I just getting comically unlucky with giga spawns in fjordur or what, every single R-Giga I've seen in this entire playtrough has been female. and I really mean that.
I've dino wiped and waited so many times, I even got a mod that shows me all the giga's on the map when I want
unlucky
it was even worse at first
until I almost fought the first boss not even one high leveled one spawned either
I already beat the final boss now but I just want a pair of R-gigas >_>
the fact that only one spawns every 4-5 hours of gameplay makes it even worse
so if someone has a completed mutation chain, and wants to add colors from previous mutations to it once done with the original chain; I assume the best method would be to keep a pair of the uncolored ones, breed those and add colors to their babies?
otherwise the mutation counter gets bloated right?
mutation counter going mental after the mutating process is done doesnt matter, you can have 3 billion trillion mutations after adding in the colours and it wouldnt matter since youre not adding more mutations
yeah I mostly meant just in case I decide to mutate further for some reason
then keep the mutated, non coloured and non 3 billion mutation counter pair incase of needing to mutate more and use the one with colours and a mental counter for creating more of the same offspring for whatever is required
someone know how to trap a shadow mane on fjordur?
and is it possible to force allow flyers in the fjordur dimensions?
because the setting when making a world doesnβt work
desmo, sino, astro and mana work
Hey! I have seen people bring the map closer to their face so they see more how do you do that?
sino is a tek jetpack dimorphodon that spawns on LI, astro is a flying whale on gen1&2, mana is a giant ice bat on ext, LI and gen2
i forgot to mension desert titan which is the weakest flyer to ever exist because it dies to little ants
iβm talking about trying to allow like pts and argys in the fjordur dimensions
cause iβm not uploading dinoβs from one map to another
try turning on cave flying
Best lunar cave for ele/ele farm base (PvP)
Click when holding it
thanks!
Not sure if this goes here but I'm trying to update ark. I have the required space but it pauses half way through and no message to explain why.
There must be an issue with most servers that I attempt to join. I have NO clue what it is because it is in completely different servers on unofficial. But when I join said server, within around 3-5 minutes I get kicked/lagged out no matter what I do or what other people do. I canβt play most of my favorite servers because of this. It became an issue after the release of FjΓΆrdur.
iβve tried multiple times with the option to force allow cave flyers and rejoining multiple times with them toggled on and off but it wonβt let me
btw maewings also work in the realms
so if you are limited to fjordur mobs only its either a desmodus or a maewing if you want flight
allow cave flyers is broken on PC singleplayer
and taming shadowmanes on fjordur isnt that difficult
trust me I tamed like 30 of those mfs there πΏ
find one, net it, kill the others around it, a shotgun will be useful because your mount will be likely to get stunned
but like, finding the fish...
go to the ice realm for that
absolute comical amounts of large salmon
zero troubles at all
except surviving in the ice realm π
yeah thatβs all iβve got rn
understandable
but yeah I discovered the ice realm usefulness for sabertooth after I already like tamed 10+ of them sadly
wait the harpoon nets work on them?
yes
oh i didnβt know that
whatβs the best way to get the fish tho
i cant even catch one
use an otter and you donβt even get cold
guess my otter is broken 
if you increase their melee damage they give more insulation
still was freezing to death with an otter
mine are very far from default 
anyways before I found the ice realm's salmon I think I just went to random ponds across the map for fish, there are such a stupid amount of good fish spots in fjordur
how do i get them to stay close to the basket tho
ah I struggled with that massively too
they always swim away as soon as they get there
if you craft a wooden cage you can place them on top of the fish and they will get stuck, then place a basket next to it
@eager breach
best are the sabertooth salmon you can punch them
trust me, I wish I knew this earlier
then they run to you
they break the baskets
gotta pick them up real fast
mine needs like 5 seconds before it lets me
yeah thats normal
place them down early
placing them down early has no effect though
it does tho
no the fish needa be nearby and then wait 5
no, the timer resets when there arent fish nearby
never had that happen
still a 5 second wait no matter what
yeah imma try the cage
cage works miracles
can the basket be placed underwater?
fr I wish I discovered it earlier, only found it by googling
i havenβt tried
they are supposed to be underwater...
yes lol
ohπ
iβm so dumb bruh
i saw a video of people who put theirs on the shore so i thought they could only be used on the shore
@eager breach where is your base location, I can give some good fish spots nearby
the two islands between the lava one and the big main one
i still donβt know the island namesπ
green ob island
yeah, green ob island is the big one
have yβall seen syntacs fjordur series?
blue ob island is the bottom left
red ob island is the volcano
iβm using his base location
the castle?
mine doesn't have the 5 second timer π€·
only when you first place it
after that it doesn't anymore
it has the trap initializing but after that its just a simple click
yeah iβm gonna get on tonight so i can tame it hopefully π€
how am I crouching underwater
witch
can anyone help me? I am trying to increase the dino level past 150 and I apparently am supposed to put something in the game user settings which I did but everything seems to be 150 capped still?
did you do a dinowipe? you always gotta do one afterwards
(the command is " destroywilddinos ")
yeah destroywilddinos
at this point I might actually have to spawn in a male giga because not a single one spawned in my entire fjordur playtrough , all of them were female :/
how does color command work for dinos?
search up ark command guide it's very useful
admincheat setdinocolorregion
the website arkids has a command guide that fills it in for you
pull up the color regions of the animal youre trying to change
@sudden night can I dm you a pic of the settings so you can double check it? I can't sent pics here
g
Does anyone know if Scorched Earth Plus has any required priority?
can u tame coruptted animels?
is there any way to rename your character?
for unofficial - yes
for official - no
No
im on singleplayer so how can I do it
cheat RenamePlayer <Player Name> <New Name>
ah I thought that was the same scenario as the modify character's body command where you needed 2 people for it to work
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_commands
..it's settargetdinocolor [region] [colour id] like settargetdinocolor 0 70 @hasty wolf
The commands found here can be entered in the console. This allows to do actions that aren't allowed otherwise, e.g. cheating.
Just curious, has WC revealed when they'll be adding the Carcharodontosaurus, or is it still a mystery at this point?
mystery
Ok. Lol.
most people think itβll be during fear evolved
Yeah, that seems likely due to its abilities. When does Fear Evoloved usually start?
Usually mid october through the first few days of November
my game has been looking like ps1 low graphics. I have all settings set to either high or medium, and have restarted multiple times, reset graphics, and it's happened before. how do i fix this?
it might be your gpu have you used a overclock afterburner
you might want to try that
but sometimes the game looks great?
add me and ill tell you about it
i sent you a friend request
i play on windows 10 and i cant seem to join a server like no servers are showing up at all and i cant play.
no servers or no crossplay servers
have you tried refreshing
is you are using steam to play ark you might want to check what server list your using make sure its on official or unofficial servers
I just crafted over 200 chibis and not a single one was a high tier one πΏ
honestly starting to believe red chibis dont exist at this point
I have crafted easily over one thousand chibis in total and only found one yellow one, no red ones at all
I've seen a few dozen purples but yet....
no ghost Rex or party dodo ?
your better off just asking and waiting for help
