it says that but alot more

[polar sandal]

your PC doesn't have enough ram probably

[molten falcon]

it always works tho

it only started not to work recently

[wraith sentinel]

Is it just me or are pegos wayyy too durable on official

[polar sandal]

check for updates on your GPU and directx

if your on steam try verifying files.

if error continues try playing in windowed mode.

it's a low memory error though

check for malware maybe

[wraith sentinel]

Like 20+ shots with arrows, plus two headshots, thats outrageous, only level 70

Ight

[hot flicker]

How do me and my friends play alone? we are using epic games.

[polar sandal]

Note: The Epic Games Store version of ARK does not currently have a proper method of joining a server directly via IP/port. This is not a limitation on our part.
Step 1: Join a single-player game of ARK.
Step 2: Click Tab to open the console.
Step 3: Obtain your server's connection information in the format of IP:PORT.
Step 3: Type: open IP:PORT and press enter

[hot flicker]

im confused

[polar sandal]

one of you click dedicated server to host. the other join

non dedicated**

[violet pendant]

[tardy bay]

If your chasing because it stole something, it's faster to knock it out with tranq arrows than to kill it with stone arrows.

When you knock it out the item it stole is in it's inventory

Then you can punch the hell out of it lol

[weak kestrel]

what is the storage size for ARK now?

[tepid hearth]

While playing ark my pc randomly re boots for no reason.
Specs are
Asus 570x plus
Rizen 5800x
Nvidia 1050 ti

[tawny tendon]

Why do people inside

[plain mesa]

Why does ranged weapon (rifles, handguns, shotguns) damage seem so low? I seem to do better with melee and I don't understand why

[molten falcon]

Ask the devs why

[random vector]

I have a Genesis2 server that crashes on startup. Turns out that AutoDecay is killing too many things and overloads it. I can start the map with AutoDecay disabled but how to I find/delete old bases/tribes without crashing the server?

[molten falcon]

Auto decay doesn’t kill things

I think

[random vector]

Talking about old tribe structures

AutoDecay enabled crashes server due to too many things it is purging.

[molten falcon]

Ohhhhhhh

I don’t understand

[random vector]

It crashes before a SaveWorld can happen and thus everytime it starts back up, starts over.....rinse, lather repeat.

[plain mesa]

So you're saying that's just the way it is?

[river badge]

I entered Beyla's arena, killed her. Then left. I somehow lost 10 dinos even though none of them died.

Any advice?

[random vector]

That is not a teleport arena right?

[river badge]

No

[random vector]

No idea why you cannot find them. Do they still show against your max tribe dino count?

I would use K view mode and look in walls and floors to see if they got pushed thru the mesh.

[river badge]

Don't see them

Im even using ghost to check through walls.

[random vector]

Oh, if you have admin powers, ghost down to the water level directly below the arena

See if they are floating in the water

But always empty inventory / armor when ghosting in case the game deletes you for being out of bounds.

[river badge]

No, they aren't in the water

[random vector]

Can you tell if they are still counted in your max tribe dino count? You see that number in the middle of inventory screen. But if you were not familiar with the amount before, could be difficult to tell now.

[river badge]

Can't really tell

[random vector]

I'm out of ideas. That is a closed off cave and its not like they get thrown all over the place. Did you use megatheriums?

[river badge]

I went in with 20 raptors. I have 8 now

[random vector]

Tribe log shows no deaths?

[river badge]

None

[random vector]

Fought Gamma?

[river badge]

Yeah

[random vector]

Still, pretty good raptors to win a boss fight. Even my best Tek raptors SUCK.

Tek Raptor: H54 M50 ST50 W47 F46 SP51 O46 (L341 STATS COMBINED)

[river badge]

I was doing single player settings test

Just for practice

[random vector]

Oh!!!! That is completely different.

Multiplayer default settings are 10x harder.

[river badge]

My raptors have 41 H 55 M before mutations though

Either way, they're almost all gone now

I went in with 20, left with 8. No signs of them

[random vector]

Like I said, I got nothing more to suggest. Next time, check your tribe dino count and maybe throw on some tracking collars on some of them.

And since its single player, you can back up your savegame before doing a boss run. I wrote a batch file for doing just that.

Well, I tried to paste a link to it but links are not allowed here

[river badge]

Console

Going to put my problem up again see if anyone else has any solutions.

I went into the Beyla arena, fought Beyla and left.

I went in with 20 dinos, zero died. I left with 8 dinos. There are none left in the cave, stuck in the mesh or otherwise. I need advice on how to find them.

[tepid hearth]

.

[river badge]

Found them, way under beyla

Pushing against a wall

How do I get them out? They're under the map in the water

[random vector]

cryopod

[river badge]

One last question. Are your raptors mutated?

[random vector]

No, not even mutagen applied

[river badge]

Same here so far

Just happened to find a tek raptor with 55 attack and a good saddle bp

[random vector]

Gen1 in Lunar biome is perfect place to farm anything tek-creature related

[river badge]

I found two 180 tek raptors on fjordur

Never touched genesis yet

[random vector]

All maps have "some" tek creatures. Gen1 Lunar biome has tons of them...including tek trikes

The server cluster I run has been alive since before Scorched Earth released so I've been collecting a LONG time. 😉

[open ice]

I need some tips on Rock Drake egg stealing

[pine token]

Which map? How far are you into prep for it? @open ice

[stone flume]

I’m finding it hard to stay motivated playing ark, since I’m new to the game I’m not used to what I have to be doing and what I should be crafting to get to mid-end game. I always imagine having a big base with loads of items and dinos but realistically I have 3 dinos and a thatch base lmfao
Im just finding it hard to have a steady flow going in game to level up and expand my area

[hasty pike]

this happens with every game not just ark, my game crashes after 2-10 mins of playtime and idk what to do abt it. psure its not gpu/cpu related because its on a steady temp for the whole time and my fans are fine anyone have any tips

[sudden night]

how many chibis did you guys craft before finding a highest tier one? I've crafted such an ungodly amount of chibis lately and I still have not found one

[soft burrow]

hey, can anyone help me with the perfect explorer achivement? I'm on pc steam

[sudden night]

mfw I put baby growth speed on 250x with sp settings enabled and gigas still take ages to grow up

[soft burrow]

anyone? pls???

[naive dust]

What’s that take like 12 minutes?

[sudden night]

something like that

[random garden]

whats the fastest way to lvl from 120 to 145 on smalls?

[molten falcon]

ask the question so that people coming through who know the answer will be able to communicate with you

i have the achievement, so i may be able to help

[soft burrow]

ok, thanks, so

i got all the explorer notes on the island but i haven't got the achivement

• all dossiers + all gurdians

[molten falcon]

do you own genesis

[soft burrow]

no?

[molten falcon]

for whatever reason the achievement requires notes specific to it, i recommend using some sort of cheat to unlock it if you've already gotten every other note

massive oversight by wc

[soft burrow]

ok, what notes do i need?

[molten falcon]

they're only obtainable if you have the hlna cosmetic equipped

[soft burrow]

D:

[molten falcon]

since she does a little scanning animation

[soft burrow]

Wc, what the hell :(

[molten falcon]

yep.

[soft burrow]

ok, so do i just enter the command for the chronicles ones?

[molten falcon]

yes

i saw someone adding them to the wiki the other day, are the chronicles there now?

[soft burrow]

yes :D

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Genesis_Chronicles this one, right?

[molten falcon]

finally, i won't have to dm people spreadsheets

[soft burrow]

:)))))

[molten falcon]

yes, and genesis 2 chronicles maybe

ids should be on the note page if they're not on there

[soft burrow]

umm

there isn't a "page" for each one

[molten falcon]

oh sorry, meant the main explorer note page

bottom of the island section

you just need to click expand and scroll down

[soft burrow]

GOT IT

[molten falcon]

👍

very convenient, i might look at a spreadsheet and add some ids that are missing later

[soft burrow]

wait, you can modify the wiki?

are you an admin or...?

[molten falcon]

wiki is free to edit by anyone

as long as you haven't been banned

[soft burrow]

oh damn

I'm interested :)))

[molten falcon]

which you'll get from doing things like creating spam articles

[soft burrow]

ok, i got it

but, do you know by chance the command for ONE explorer note at a time?

[molten falcon]

yes, hold on

[soft burrow]

nvm, found it

i think

the <NoteIndex> is the id, right?

[molten falcon]

yeah

no carrots

[soft burrow]

ok then, let's see if this works...

[molten falcon]

just giveexplorernote ID

[soft burrow]

wut

oh, ok, got it fam :D

[molten falcon]

like the triangles

also, if it doesn't work, try standing on top of an explorer note while running the command

[molten falcon]

works?

[soft burrow]

it did work, i was in my base btw

thanks a ton fam, really appreciate your support!

the community needs people like you, you know

[hasty pike]

Got a question, if I make a whole save file on a map (the island) and buy a new Xbox, will it all be there still?

[molten falcon]

glad to help!

[granite rock]

so eh, me and a friend made a server a couple days ago, we had a couple of mods we used before and everything went fine, until we were wanting to make cp, we were both above lvl 20 and had auto engrams enabled in the server settings, although we cant craft cp in the normal or S+ mortar and pestle, what can we do?

[granite rock]

dont think so, its been a couple years ago but mine did not overwrite the map.

[hasty pike]

wait so it won’t be there

I’m confused

[granite rock]

dont think so

[marsh basalt]

Any effective way to locate mosas In The island?

[stiff topaz]

what platform?

#role-assignment

[marsh basalt]

Mobile?

[tepid hearth]

I got the same problem but worse, my whole pc crashes

[tepid hearth]

Try going to setting->apps->installed apps->ark->advanced then click repair and reset

Thats what makes my game work a bit longer

[hasty pike]

alright

thanks

[tepid hearth]

np, Quick question what windows are you running?

[hasty pike]

11

[tepid hearth]

Same, I think there might be some issue with it for Win 11

[hasty pike]

Alr I’ll keep that in mind

[fringe coral]

How do you fix this: low level fatal error [line 201] dll unknown function

I can dm a pic of the error message if anyone wants

[polar sandal]

posting the first 5 lines should be sufficient

[sand basalt]

Just look it up

[stiff topaz]

You can dm it

[sudden night]

so I am about to start a scorched earth playtrough, should I bring my old character from the island that is level 120 and then start naked on scorched with that character or should I create a completely new one? I am quite divided on this decision

[stiff topaz]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1519281590&searchtext=death+tweaks

you can use this to wipe your XP but keep your ascensions

So it's a fresh start without losing all your unlocks

And that's what i'd do- wipe levels/xp but keep character

[molten falcon]

why is all my hexagone reset?

[sudden night]

how would you do that with this mod btw? like spawn in, change settings and die?

[stiff topaz]

iirc yeah

[ornate marsh]

i wanna make sure i have things correct. (if something is wrong please inform me) in terms of breeding for mutations you want a male and 1-however many females where the breeders all have the same stats to be a perfect pair. you breed them until you get a mutation into the desired stat and then breed that in but only the males so that all the mutations are on the male line right? i dont really know why you do this tho so was wondering why have it only on the dads side.

[kindred tulip]

u do this so mutations doesnt stack i believe

[brazen robin]

and so you can get more than 20 mutations.

when you breed 2 dinos that both have mutations it adds the counters together regardless of them being the same mutation.

[kindred tulip]

because after 20 mutations the mutation chance will get lower and thats what we dont want

[ornate marsh]

so if a female comes out with a mutation is there a way to get it on dads side or do you scrap it?

[brazen robin]

you can use a perfect (no mutation) male to move it back to the male side

[ornate marsh]

so the male from the original breeding pair would be used to transfer it over then?

[brazen robin]

yeah, that way there isn't any mutation doubling

[kindred tulip]

what a complicated way to thing about breeding its like math u could understand it or just go with it xD

[ornate marsh]

so what do you do when you get to 20/20 mutations on the male side?

[brazen robin]

once one of the sides hits 20/20 it halves the chance for mutations, but they can still happen.

[proud patio]

the concept is that u have 1 male for, say, 10 females, and when u get a mutation u wanna keep (and that its on a male baby) you swap the male for the mutated one, rinse and repeat

^ that makes the female side of the line clean cause it'll stack on the male side, so they keep coming

[ornate marsh]

so you will only be replacing the male in a breeding operation?

[brazen robin]

yes.

[kindred tulip]

yes

[proud patio]

yeah, it doesn't matter if the male side goes over 20, cause the female side will be clean, and as over as it is atleast 19/20, it'll keep pushing out mutations

[ornate marsh]

ah so it doesnt matter if the male side is like 25/20 itll still be the same chance since the female side is clean?

[proud patio]

yep

[brazen robin]

No, it lowers the chance

[kindred tulip]

desolat stated that the chance will half when i see it correctly

[proud patio]

oh that part even i didnt know, but it'll still have mutations coming anyways

[kindred tulip]

.

[brazen robin]

you can technically break the mutation counter but lets not talk about that

[kindred tulip]

u mean minus mutations?

[brazen robin]

yeah

[ornate marsh]

wait what?

[kindred tulip]

yeah dont start with that

[ornate marsh]

how the...

[kindred tulip]

short, mutation stacking till the counter breaks into minus mutations

[ornate marsh]

how many is that?

[proud patio]

a hell of a lot

[brazen robin]

thought it was like 32 times

[kindred tulip]

i dont even know i never did it, i heard about it and also every line on offi is like that

[brazen robin]

yeah, it makes the chances the same regardless of the counter's number

[ornate marsh]

so itll show minus mutations but its still a normal mutation stack?

oh

[kindred tulip]

ark glitches are rare poggers but thats a good on

[ornate marsh]

so the mutation chances arent halved if its minus or?

[brazen robin]

yes

[kindred tulip]

If its minus the chances get back to normal

[brazen robin]

I wouldn't worry about that

[ornate marsh]

50 mutations here i come

lol

[kindred tulip]

xD

[kindred tulip]

depends where u playing, pve def no

[brazen robin]

well if you are on PvP just get a line from somebody else 😂

[kindred tulip]

think of server that wipe

[ornate marsh]

yeah im just pve so ill have it in the back of my mind if it ever happens but eh not gonna need that much

[shadow jetty]

Yes, because the minus indicates a “physical” buffer overflow (the game isn’t able to store and therefore track the mutations so it will be as if there are 0 mutations.
Combine that with the overlooked glitch / mechanic to mutate up to 254 times instead of the “intended” 20/20 and you’re good to go lmao

[brazen robin]

glitch made mechanic

[kindred tulip]

here u go whitehawk an explaination to ark being weird

how ark always been

[kindred tulip]

defo not

[shadow jetty]

I’d call it an overlooked mechanic when they designed mutations xD
Or sth they couldn’t (for whatever reason) limit or prevent maybe

[ornate marsh]

im on fjordur so i will need a good bit tho if imma use these for alot of the bosses

[brazen robin]

I mean, couldn't they have just made it not go above 20 Lol, no difference between 20 and 300.

[kindred tulip]

in specific areas ark is just poorly made

[brazen robin]

nah, they liked it so they made it a feature thats why the level cap on officials was made

[kindred tulip]

xD

[shadow jetty]

Yea, that’s why I think it was maybe overlooked. They thought the way it was implemented already prevented it from going more than 20, and by the time they realized the flaw it was too late or everything too advanced

[ornate marsh]

so if you go crazy and get tons of mutations and get towards the lvl cap you can breed in low lvls with low food/oxygen and such to lower the lvl as well right?

[shadow jetty]

At least I could imagine it being this way, otherwise having a counter at all makes like 0 sense xD

[kindred tulip]

if u reach lvl cap, get some low ass dinos and get useless stats to zero yes

[shadow jetty]

Exactly, but also similiar as to why “negative mutations” are basically the same as 0 mutations (storage/overflow) you will not be able to get over 254 mutations (or actually 255 but then you can’t level the Dino) in a single stat.

Edit: not actually mutations, should’ve said points

[brazen robin]

254 stat points, mutations are 2 stat points

lol

[shadow jetty]

Yea I realized as i sent it, been using mutations too often today lmao

[brazen robin]

my cat is just laying right infront of my keyboard lol. watching me type

[ornate marsh]

i heard someone say smthn about a mutation being able to be 4 points?

[kindred tulip]

what are u doing ingame, pve ,offi im interested

[brazen robin]

double and triple mutations can happen. but each is separate. they each change a color and pick a stat.

[shadow jetty]

Mostly PVE (official) but I sometimes play on pvp servers, but usually unofficial or sth with higher rates like Arkpoc or Classic/Conquest for fun.
But not really playing much these days anymore

[manic shale]

How many pixels is a single (unused) dye good for? in exact count

[elder canopy]

tbh good question - I would be interested to know too because I love fashioning - I know the bigger the thing you are painting the more it uses at once - like if you are painting a giga it uses a TON of paint lol

[polar sandal]

1

if you mean when applying a screenshot to a blank painting

[manic shale]

I mean, when you apply a paint it says like White Dye (200%) or Black Dye (1700%)
100% is one Dye, but how many pixels is that?

[polar sandal]

should be 1 dye per pixel

... if your referring to applying a screenshot to a blank canvas

[polar sandal]

so, same answer 🙂

[prisma hedge]

Can you reset the affinity gain of struders? This stryder isn’t taking any mutagel and isn’t taming

[manic shale]

That cant be true...
A screenshot (or saved paint) is 256x256 pixels for a canvas.
There is absolutely not a need for 65536 units of dye 😄

[kindred tulip]

20 pixel one dye , i would guess

[polar sandal]

I personally haven't seen a painting require that many. but, half the paints have to be prized anyways as they literally can't be crated in game

[manic shale]

I would guess more like 1000 pixels/paint 🙂

[polar sandal]

tbh the whole system is fairly bugged anyways. on console you can't even scroll down in the gui to see the full list

there seems to be an editor and converter that will convert images to ark for at to be applied to canvas. that may give you a better idea

[manic shale]

I'm building my own converter 🙂

[ornate marsh]

so ive never made a painting so was wondering. you can use screenshots and make it a photo in ark? and also if you wanted a photo of in ark stuff you would use the camera for it?

[manic shale]

Yes, there is a couple of programs out there that can convert images for you. If you trust downloading programs from random people w/o released source

[polar sandal]

kinda. but like unless your in single player or on a private server it's not worth trying.

there's colors included in screenshots that can't be made in game like "aqua navy royal blue" or something

you can try and take screenshots that don't include the special colors but gl with that

or if you are on a private server you can price yourself the colors that can't be made

the converter may be able to get rid of them too I'm not sure

[ornate marsh]

another question. how does ark put the photo in or is it a thing where you put the file of the photo into arks files and then you put in the paints when in the game?

[polar sandal]

the only way I can do it since I'm on console, and the way the devs intended, you use the camera item in game which will save a screenshot then when viewing a blank canvas you will have the option to upload said screenshot

I'm sure you can bypass this with file manipulation or editors but, I don't have experience with that

[charred vale]

there's a online software site for you to convert the pictures you want into PNT format and paste in your ark folder

[manic shale]

The 26 default colors are good enough for a lot of images. Just dither the images. And know the limitations 🙂

I posted a screenshot in #building-screenshots of my storage icons

[hollow pond]

My ark mobile unofficial servers are not working help me

[polar sandal]

@hollow pond I'd join the mobile discord for that. seperate deal from the... official? game

[stone anvil]

what to type to get admin commands up on pc ?

[river wolf]

tab

[stone anvil]

shi aint working

[ornate marsh]

smack it a few times. hope it works

[frosty thorn]

have you tried pressing tab

[subtle knoll]

look in danart and screenshots

[manic shale]

Seems to be roughly 10000 pixels per dye

But the game rounds the result down, so 0.9% becomes 0% 😛

[ionic kernel]

mega mek keeps dismounting me during king titan alpha fight

[ornate marsh]

i think thats cuz the king titan has a dismount ability in which iirc is why some have armies that they send in and dont engage directly themselves to avoid their player dying

[sudden night]

how large is scorched earth compared to the island for example? I can find the map sizes of every map online except scorched for some reason :L

[molten falcon]

probably because people dislike it for whatever reason

[stable ridge]

Her hawk I have another question what’s the fastest way to get keratin for lower level players

[ornate marsh]

keratin? usually turtles, trikes, and things with spikes drop it

[stable ridge]

Is that the only way?

That’s what I’ve been doing so far it’s just so slow

[ornate marsh]

for keratin yes. chitin you can kill bugs

[stable ridge]

Is that easier?

Where can I find a lot of bugs in the island

[ornate marsh]

depends if theres alot of bugs lol. but usually more dangerous

[stable ridge]

Ok ty

[ornate marsh]

well it never had the ascension ending and stuff

[sudden night]

can you put cryopods in the singleplayer obelisk to transfer the dinos in it? I heard there is/was a glitch with that

[molten falcon]

i have good news for you

[sudden night]

I wonder when the scorched ascension will be added because I am probably starting my scorched playtrough tomorrow

[molten falcon]

dino storage v2 is safer

[sudden night]

dont have any mods for now

[molten falcon]

i recommend making an exception for that

they have a prebuilt ini that will make them identical to cryopods

just like. actually functional

[ornate marsh]

yeah ik its finally getting it

[ornate marsh]

usually if you are on steam then things like dino storage v2, S+, and such are qol things that would be nice to use. up to your type of enjoyment tho if it makes it too easy to you then thats fair ig

[ornate marsh]

also scorched is an interesting map bc its designed as more of a full on "the climate is more dangerous than the dinos" sometimes bc of the heat causing heat stroke, the dust storms, heat waves

[solar salmon]

go to ab, to 42 80, to the surface entrance and then collect the things that are on the floor with a drill

you will get slot capped very fast

with keratin

[sudden night]

I know, it's just that I dont use any mods for this one playtrough thats all

[meager whale]

what do u need it for

[solar salmon]

paste ig

[meager whale]

oh

[ornate marsh]

they are a newer player playing on the island right now lol. dont think they are rushing to go to a dlc just for keratan lol

[solar salmon]

oh okay

didnt know

[ornate marsh]

yeah haha. plus they also said "for lower lvl players" they wouldnt even be at the lvl for a drill

[solar salmon]

id say to go to gen1 to the doedic mision but ye if they are newer players like u said

[ornate marsh]

yeah which is why i just said turtles, trikes, and such.

[solar salmon]

yea

or the swamp cave yk

the cave u usually go to level up with a megatherium

its also good for chitin

[ornate marsh]

much more accessible esp since a good bit of people dont have the dlcs either bought or installed, and sometimes dont even know they exist

my thoughts were that they were needing it for a ptera saddle/argy saddle. or small amount of CP.

wouldnt need that much chitin and prob wouldnt be able to survive there as iirc isnt it hazardous and gassy?

[solar salmon]

ye that was what i guessed

[solar salmon]

scuba tank or gas mask

[ornate marsh]

they wouldnt be at the lvl.

[solar salmon]

right

[stable ridge]

Can’t you get paste from like rivers with the beaver things

[solar salmon]

ye also

[stable ridge]

Or am I saying something random

[ornate marsh]

yeah beaver dams.

[stable ridge]

I saw it somewhere and the person got like 400 or sm is that normal??

[solar salmon]

thats normal

but thats the big one

[stable ridge]

Oh wow ok and how do I find beaver dams

[solar salmon]

on the normal ones u get around 150-200

[stable ridge]

That’s still pretty good

What can cementing paste be used for again?

[solar salmon]

metal structures, weapons, and many more

[stable ridge]

Ok so this is where I become a potato caus I’ve never gotten to the metal stage

Metal you get from rocks right

[solar salmon]

ye

[stable ridge]

And then you make a smelter I think it’s called

[solar salmon]

forge

[stable ridge]

Oh yeah that

And then you make metal ingots?

[ornate marsh]

metal sructures arent needed unless you live in a dangerous area (alphas/gigas)

[solar salmon]

2 metal = 1 metal ingot in normal forge

[sudden night]

any possible way to find out what runes I am missing in fjordur...? if not is there maybe a command to unlock the last few I missed

[stable ridge]

With which you can make guns and bullets for those guns and a lot of other things like armor

[solar salmon]

yes

[stable ridge]

And ankylosaurus (idk how it’s spelled) is especially good at collecting metal

[solar salmon]

yep

[stable ridge]

I think it is that bs

Oh alr good

[solar salmon]

you will probably want an argy for that also

[sharp ember]

I use dodos for all my farming

[stable ridge]

Yeah that’s where I stopped I’ve played for like one day on my sp world and got like 2 Petra dons and finally got enough keratin to put a saddle on one

So now I want to get metal and an argy that’s my goal for tmw

[sharp ember]

You can get chitin from bugs

In the jungle

[stable ridge]

Ik but that’s like far away in the red woods or sm

[solar salmon]

an argy isnt reallly needed, its used for bigger metal runs

[sharp ember]

Trutru

[stable ridge]

And people said it’s dangerous

[solar salmon]

but for a small metal run its fine

[sharp ember]

What map are you on?

@stable ridge

[ornate marsh]

they are on the island

[sharp ember]

Ah

@stable ridge I saw you asked where you find beaver dams and noone awnseredm if you go on the wiki and look at spawns for beavers, that's where you can find dams

[solar salmon]

theres an image with all locations

[ornate marsh]

i was trying to find the one that showed beaver dams as well as other resources but couldnt find it haha

[solar salmon]

but idk where to send it

[sharp ember]

@ornate marsh dododex has them

Press the hamburger at the top right, then maps and it has lists of them all

It'll take you straight to their page

[ornate marsh]

hm dont see maps anywhere

[stable ridge]

Sorry yeah I’m ok the island

[sharp ember]

Dams will spawn about rivers

Wherever you'll find beavers you'll find dams

[stable ridge]

Are they rare?

[ornate marsh]

prob bc im on the website tho and not app

[sharp ember]

Do you have dododex installed on your phone?

[sharp ember]

Oh yes you need ap

[ornate marsh]

that sucks

[stable ridge]

You talking to me?

[sharp ember]

Yes

[solar salmon]

no

[proud mason]

How do i report someone? I got caged for a couple days now

[solar salmon]

open a ticket sir

[sharp ember]

@proud mason official? PvP or PvE?

[solar salmon]

probably pvp

[proud mason]

Official Pvp Ps4

[solar salmon]

open a ticket

[sharp ember]

I don't think that's against the rules pvp

[ornate marsh]

cant report for caging

[stable ridge]

On botw there’s an object map that shows literslly every mob every chest and things like that and Ik ark doesn’t have set spawn locations so it’s prolly a little different but is there skmethunt like that for ark?

[ornate marsh]

not for pvp i dont think

[fringe rover]

Dododex links to fandom which isn’t supported anymore
Use ark.wiki.gg

[solar salmon]

i seen people reporting for getting caged for a whole ass month and they get freed

[stable ridge]

I’m that case idk what you’re talking about so probably not lol

[sharp ember]

@stable ridge there is. That's the wiki, search up "Ark resource map {map name}

[stable ridge]

Map name as in?

[sharp ember]

What map you're playing on

[stable ridge]

Example please lmfao I’m slow

[sharp ember]

So you're on the island

[stable ridge]

Ohh

[ornate marsh]

tell them you are going to make a ticket if they dont let you go. if they persist then do it. usually the threat of getting a higher power than them makes em scared

[stable ridge]

Yes yes I got it ty

[sharp ember]

And then there'll be check boxes for you and you can filter down the resources you wakt

It won't be as exact as this botw map but it'll be the closest you can get

[stable ridge]

That’s exactly what I want

[proud mason]

I already done it a lot of times they are very toxic

[stable ridge]

Brb

[proud mason]

How do i open a ticket?

[solar salmon]

ark web

[rare acorn]

I'm in a single player world and whenever I spawn in, my frames are shit. My game runs 30% of my GPU instead of the full amount, anyone know a fix?

[molten falcon]

which map? what are your specs? graphic settings?

[rare acorn]

Fjordur, I have a i5-12400f with a 3080 ti and 32 gb of ram, graphics are almost maxed

[molten falcon]

monitor?

[rare acorn]

m28u

GPU gets used correctly in other games but on ark, it's 30%

[molten falcon]

hm

don't see any problems with your specs, which means it's probably related to the settings you have

which is strange

[rare acorn]

i can send a ss of them in dm's

[keen wing]

How far away do egg incubators need to be if i want to place more than 3

I tried placing 3 then i moved 40 foundations away and placed 2 down but then it said too many structures of the same type

[ornate marsh]

why do you need more than 5?

[keen wing]

I do alot of breeding and i like to keep different dinos in different incubators

[ornate marsh]

so you are hatching atleast 6 different types of eggs that need different temperatures?

[keen wing]

No but i am hatching more than 50 giga eggs at once

[rare berry]

Can someone please help me? I transitioned over from All Color Dinos to Any Color Sets, and I made all of my remapped creatures vanilla using the Dino Storage mod, but now that I try to take them out of the tribute terminal, they are all greyed out. Is there any way to fix this, or are they gone forever?

[stiff topaz]

Sounds like cpu bottleneck

[stiff topaz]

That means there were modded ones in there

[hasty wolf]

This is why you don’t use mods interchangeably, because one difference can mess your world up

[stiff topaz]

Loading into literally anything without the mod loaded would have broken them like that, so they were gone the second you loaded without all colour Dino’s the first time

[hasty wolf]

But you can use the settargetdinoregion command to fix it somewhat

[stiff topaz]

Actually, it’s perfectly fine if a mod does not remap

Mods that use buffs, CDOs, event dispatchers on a cca etc.. all edit Dino’s without replacing them and can be removed safely

Even remapping is ok to a degree, if it’s samename. Though cryopods and the obelisk are the exception since they rely on full path

And honestly, ‘mess your world up’ is a very extreme was of saying ‘the modded Dino’s get deleted’, because generally that’s all that happens. The replaced dino/item is deleted

[molten falcon]

re-enable the old mod and throw all of the modded dinos out of their soul traps and retrap them

make sure you have the dsv2 config when you do this

[rare acorn]

It wasn't, it was a mod that wasn't working well

[radiant falcon]

whats better for cp megatheriem and deodic or frog?

[molten falcon]

does region 3 on a tropeo do anything? hard to tell

[dreamy sierra]

What's the best way to keep a Reaper from floating in lunar on Gen 2?

[ornate marsh]

supposed to be the fur

[alpine crest]

Not much of a good fix for that, try to just google "how to keep dinos from floating in ark genesis"

[molten falcon]

yeah, but nothing actually happens

[manic shale]

Did painting on raft sails break at some point? I hear the sound but no dialog

[tepid flame]

its not bannable they can keep u caged as long as they want

[ornate marsh]

i never said it was bannable and i never said anything would come of it. i said the threat of it sometimes makes them stop and others have said they make them let you go sometimes.

you never know. in my opinion doing something like that is super rude. while pvp is to have fun and go against players that doesnt mean to make it where a person literally cannot play at all.

something like this could be targeting bc they said it happens alot by the same person in which is again very toxic and rude

[tepid flame]

if someone is doing it they aren't gonna stop because someone threatened to report them

its commonly known that it isnt bannable

[ornate marsh]

one thing to note that "common knowledge" can be common in a community like discord and such but theres alot of people not on discord or who never looks at things like that and does not know. sometimes common knowledge is not that common

[tepid flame]

someone who is actively caging people probably knows its not bannable

[placid hawk]

Can i place a maewing on the other side of a fence away from babies and it will still feed them?

[brazen robin]

as long as its in the range

[placid hawk]

How,do i know,if it's in range?

[brazen robin]

you can enable the radius I think just like a trough

[pine token]

Not sure you can, unfortunately

The range is pretty bad, too

I just realized what would probably happen if you could show the radius. Imagine seeing someone zooming around while that spherical marker is active.

[tepid flame]

you can show the radius

[pine token]

Huh, I'm sure I've tried

[brazen robin]

yeah, I'm like 90% sure you can lol

[pine token]

Haha oh well, I can't be right all the time I guess 😉

[tepid flame]

im 100% sure u can

[brazen robin]

oooh, an A

ignore the bleeding, yes you can show the area

was messing with stat multipliers and all the dinos in my test world are now almost dead 😂

[pine token]

Monster

[brazen robin]

you only see the button when nursing is on btw

[pine token]

Huh, I still don't see it on my Maewing, lol

[brazen robin]

are you on playstation?

because I see it on both xbox and PC

[pine token]

Steam

[brazen robin]

do you have mods?

[pine token]

I'm going through the clicks super slowly and like triple-checking, too

[brazen robin]

its not in any folder

[pine token]

I wonder if there's a server setting

[brazen robin]

not that I can see on the wiki

PvP?

[pine token]

I'm on somebody's pve server, and indeed, it's modded/customized. No idea what the cause could be at this point, tho

[brazen robin]

maybe some mod changes maewings and breaks the show trough button 🤷

[pine token]

Could be. Come to think of it I've never seen the button. Hmm.

[brazen robin]

see it shows the area, not very large but will still go through walls

[pine token]

Better Dinos is one of the mods, but this is a normal Maewing...

Can't think why that setting would be intentionally disabled, unless maybe it's a performance consideration or something (given that they move)

[polar sandal]

idk about steam but Xbox can be super picky about how close you are to the dino when you open the radial

I couldn't rename my dino for like a week because the option didn't show, then one day I realized I had different options of I was like... right on it when I opened it

[molten falcon]

bd doesn't touch maewings, and i can use the radial menu just fine

[pine token]

Figured it didn't since Maewings appear to be untouched, yeah

It isn't an issue for me, beyond wondering about it

[floral pulsar]

hey so im trying to make a multiplayer world but when i run dedicated it just shows a menu and i cant make a character and non-dedicated still has the tether effect how do i fix this?

[proven socket]

Hello I have been running into an issue, my friend has recently started a Non BattlEye server on his spare PC and I am currently running into a "BattlEye Launcher" Install loop, everytime it gets to loading 1 mod it crashes and tells me to install BattlEye and was wondering if anyone knew of any fixes for this?

I have currently:
Uninstalled and Reinstalled BattlEye
Uninstalled and Reinstalled the game
Reset my pc
Reset Steam
Ran it with BattlEye
Ran it with BattlEye
Verified files
Deleted the BattlEye folder in %localappdata% and reinstalled

So far have had no luck in looking up fixes with an actual fix.

[pine token]

See pin #6 in this channel

[proven socket]

So as it turns out, Pimp my Dino was causing the error. I ran solo worlds while removing mods 1 by 1 and it seems to be working.

[pine token]

Dedicated means that you turn your PC into an ARK server and play the game using a different machine.

[floral pulsar]

Yea I found out I would need another pc

[pine token]

My understanding is it's technically possible to play on the same machine, but that requires some additional steps and a fairly strong PC

[molten falcon]

i have no idea how to do it on a different machine 👁️

[obsidian forge]

Hi I'm trying to cut my teeth on mutation stacking and selective breeding, and trying to identify my preferred initial dinos off the 10 or so desmodus I've got tamed. I have the spyglass mod on this private server, so I'm able to see the starting stats. One wild tamed des has 42 melee, but only 372.8% damage. One of the offspring I've bred randomly with my pool has 36 points into melee with a damage bonus of 403.4%. Should I try and merge the 42 onto my starting male or do I go with the lower one with higher %? Not sure if this is because it's not a wild tame, but having a hard time understanding some of the mutation stacking videos when it comes to starting out.

[rare berry]

Does anyone here know how to change the color of the lights in the Additional Lighting mod? I can't figure it out.

[stiff topaz]

What mod? Weird for a mod to do that

Unless it’s an overhaul ig which crunches most systems

[molten falcon]

gaia was one of them

not sure if they ended up removing that one, can dm you the screenshot of their modlist if you want

[stiff topaz]

Ah, so multiple overhauls 🙃 that’s not even the mods fault at that point nope that’s actually a perfectly fine looking list

[molten falcon]

ah no they didn't have multiple, just worded it weirdly

[stiff topaz]

Ah

[molten falcon]

i recommend trying to remove multiple mods, one of which was the overhaul

not sure which mod they removed

[stiff topaz]

Ahh yeah I’d like to see the list pls

[stiff topaz]

Remind me in a couple hours and I’ll check it in the devkit

[rare berry]

Are there any mods out there that allow us to use the scope worry tranq darts? Kind of lame that we can't in pve.

[stiff topaz]

If you find one, lmk, it should have been a thing tbh

[rare berry]

Yeah. It would definitely make more sense to allow it in pve over pvp. I know they don't work together across the board.

[naive dust]

Go with the higher base stat at 42. The 36 point melee with higher percentage is gonna be from imprinting which doesn’t pass down to the offspring.

[wise oriole]

Can...

Can stryders harvest carno plants like it does with others?

[topaz fox]

wdym by carno plants

[stable ridge]

Hey so yesterday @ornate marsh told me how to put my difficulty up, and then said I should type a certain command to get rid of all wild Dino’s and have higher level Dino’s in the wild only

Does anyone know what that command is?

[naive dust]

Cheat destroywilddinos

[sudden night]

can anyone confirm if its safe to transfer cryopodded creatures across maps in singleplayer? I am about to do that and its making me very paranoid

[naive dust]

Why wouldn’t it be?

The biggest risk with cryod tames in this situation would be pegomastix and hell seagulls stealing them. But all you have to do to prevent that is put berries or something in the last slot of your hot bars

[sudden night]

I've heard and seen that there is/was a glitch with singleplayer cryopods and if you transfer them trough obelisks they often delete themselves

[naive dust]

Ooh transfer. I’ve never had an issue with it but then again I’ve never transferred a cryod Dino to cross a map before

[molten falcon]

that's usually with unclustered servers

[naive dust]

The pods are weightless why not just carry them?

[molten falcon]

cryo'd is far safer than uncryo'd (latter is a crash festival)

[sudden night]

you cant transfer yor own inventory in singleplayer

[molten falcon]

sp doesn't let you transfer with an inventory

dino storage v2 is the safest option

[naive dust]

Wait. You’re transferring just to get around the map?

[sudden night]

alright Ill test it with just 2 cryopods now

[molten falcon]

?

[sudden night]

no I am transferring an army from fjordur to island so I can test it on the overseer

also I beat the bosses on fjordur but it does not say on my implant that I beat the dragon etc in my survival quotent :l

[naive dust]

Oh I misunderstood your original question my bad lol I thought you were trying to upload a cryo and pick it up at a different obelisk.

[sudden night]

alright the test transfers worked

[polar sandal]

gotta die for your implant to update if you've transfered since an ascension

[sudden night]

I havent transferred yet back when I looked at it and I did not ascend because its fjordur

[polar sandal]

there may be other ways to force a refresh. maybe a fast travel

ah yeah. gotta do them on the original map for it to count

*as far as I'm aware

[molten falcon]

i got dragon and manticore from rag

fjordur might be different, lot of inconsistencies in this game

[polar sandal]

actually I don't think any of the fjordor bosses are intended to ascend. just like the main bosses on the story maps

overseer, rockwell rtc

[sudden night]

also whats the deal with feeding toughs enabling their range visual when transferring

its so annoying

[polar sandal]

it's a feature

first time that happened to me after dying I just had a giant green circle around my base for like a week because... I had no idea wtf was going on

[river wolf]

its a feature for the range circle to appear when you didnt enable it?

[polar sandal]

.... yes

that's what we're gonna go with

[sudden night]

you cant turn it off too lol

you gotta relog for it

[polar sandal]

I'm able to on console. just toggle it on and off

granted console and PC aren't the same builds but

[sudden night]

I wonder if I can keep the cryopods in the obelisk

maybe thats what causes the glitch, grabbing them after a while

[polar sandal]

does single player not transfer your inventory ?

[sudden night]

it does not

[polar sandal]

ob uploads are highly unreliable. basically guaranteed to lose at least 1 of every 100 things you put in it

[sudden night]

Oh fuck

so I had to transfer more than 50 items, so thats 2 trips

I went from green ob fjordur to red of island

I grabbed the first items from the obelisk and crafted and placed 2 storage boxes next to the ob to put the items in

I go back to fjodur to put more items in the obelisk, I go back to the island

and now the storage boxes are GONE???? They didnt even drop a cache with the items?!?!?

could it be because I placed them with a different character I previously had on this world or maybe because I did not have a tribe somehow when I transferred?

[molten falcon]

you didn't saveworld did you (on the item deletion)

😭

i always forget to do that and lose stuff

basically, it's not exactly common, but sometimes the world decides not to save after you upload

so if you placed those boxes too soon...

[sudden night]

but I just pressed exit to menu, why did it not save then

[molten falcon]

if you have a backup, i recommend restoring to it, upping the max items in the terminal to 100, and redoing the transfer

[molten falcon]

ark is fucked

it's not even consistent

sometimes it'll save, sometimes I'll find all my items in a dodo

i have like 13 copies of the same chibi

[sudden night]

what backup do I grab though, the fjordur one or the island one? or is there a seperate one for obelisks?

[molten falcon]

all 3 exist

make an actual save backup before doing anything

copy paste your whole "Saved" folder somewhere

then restore to an older fjordur

[sudden night]

yeah but ark also does random backups

where can I find the obelisk ones

[molten falcon]

obelisk is different

it's in the same file that stores explorer note data

no auto backups for that

[sudden night]

so I guess all my shit is gone now

[molten falcon]

what's going to be useful to you rn is getting back on an older fjordur and getting your shit back

assuming all of your dinos have not been cryod on your player for months

[sudden night]

also the second time I got back I placed some storage boxes and immediately transferred again but this time it did save...

[molten falcon]

yep

completely random

[sudden night]

how long should I wait before I transfer back again...

[molten falcon]

do saveworld to force it

like the command

[sudden night]

got it

what happens if I load a backup of fjordur when my normally fjordur character is now on the island

[molten falcon]

no idea, that's the fun part. i implore you, please make a manual backup of the whole saved directory before continuing

I'd imagine that the character will still be on the island

since I'm pretty sure they're in different files

[sudden night]

imma send a screenshot

[molten falcon]

anyways, 4 am 👋

[mighty ravine]

So, I'm on PS4 and I can't download Scorched Earth or any other maps aside from Genesis but only through the season pass, but even through the explorers pass I can't get any other maps, is this a problem on my end or am I missing something? I've spent two days scouring the internet but I can't find nothing

[river wolf]

which pass did you buy?

[mighty ravine]

I haven't bought anything yet other than the game, it's let's me buy the genesis pass but not the survivor pass

Explorer pass rather

Not survivor, my bad

[void patrol]

can anyone tell me what anti-meshing is? My tribemate just died twice to it, not a player name because it also shows the exact coordinates where they died.

[mighty ravine]

Wait

I solved my problem

I need the regular season pass lol

[river wolf]

a "defence mechanism" made by wildcard that instantly kills and deletes your corpse with no context when it thinks youve tried to go into the mesh.

[void patrol]

dang that's wack

[ornate marsh]

you would always go with the one who has higher lvls into the stat. if it has higher lvls it means that will ALWAYS be higher percentage without any imprinting because every level is more percentage for it. imprinting does not pass down so when breeding in all your stats into a "perfect" breeding pair depending on what you like you could try not imprinting it to see what we mean and how it goes.

[prisma hedge]

I’m trying to tame a stryder and everytime I hack it successfully the taming doesn’t go up at all

I accidentally hit it does that have to do with it?

[next valve]

when i want to make resources spawn more frequently do i turn the bar for it up or down for it to spawn more?

[sudden night]

try tek cave with shadowmanes instead of rexes

yuty roars, shadowmane gets feared
runs into lava

thank god I made a backup of my savefile

[ornate marsh]

possibly. iirc there was/is a bug where sometimes gachas will not tame if they were hit recently or their ai thinks they are still in battle. this could be like that

if its a high lvl try leaving the area for atleast 5-10 minutes do other stuff and then try again if it doesnt work this time then it prob wont work unless it gets knocked out or smthn

[prisma hedge]

Just found out

It’s because of the grace period

[sudden night]

is there anything you can do if a dino gets stuck in the tek cave wall?

for some reason these damn spikes near the tek cave walls are really easy to get dinos into but straightup impossible to get them out of there

and this happens so damn frequently

[modern drift]

You can cryo them to save them, but you won't be able to uncryo. Last resort sort of thing.

[sudden night]

also last time I did tek cave I was on a rex

but now I use shadowmanes, I got purloviad and instantly died

thankfully I can reload my savefile because its singleplayer but this is still nonsense man, how do I handle this stuff now?

[chilly bone]

Okay I'm trying to update Ark and it says missing downloaded files

[sudden night]

oh dear god
2 gigas spawned inside of eachother
both level 620
and because they spawned inside of eachother they are stuck and I cant lure them into the lava

[pure wagon]

620? how boosted are your settings

[sudden night]

zero boosts at all

I am in tek cave

and these mfs are blocking the only exit

[pure wagon]

there's a solution but you will not like it

[sudden night]

nevermind dont need it

one straightup magically dissapeared

[sudden night]

still what is it though, my idea was to just slowly melt their hp down from afar with a tek rifle

[manic shale]

Why is White paint transparent? It basically have the same effect as Erase but consumes paint....

[ornate marsh]

my guess: the background and the white paint may not look the same but act as the same color which means they blend and does not show the white

[ornate marsh]

verify your files and it will get the ones you are missing then update

verifying takes awhile but its the only way to get the files apart from uninstalling and reinstalling which is atleast double the time

[sudden night]

welp I finally ascended with my new character, now still just gotta decide whether I will use my high level character for starting in scorched earth or to make a new one

[sudden night]

I heard it's possible to increase the food drain of wild dinos without increasing the drain of tamed ones, how do I do this?

[fringe rover]

WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier in game.ini

[sudden night]

started scorched earth with my old character but decided to mindwipe and not use most of my levels until later

I am currently dying a ton of hyperthermia oh boy

[stiff topaz]

did you consider the level wipe i suggested?

[sudden night]

yeah couldnt find much info about it

did I get unlucky earlygame or something

the temperature is "normal" now (30C) but when I spawned in it was frigging 50C

[torpid yoke]

Is there any way of doing Genesis 2 boss on alpha without all the missions? I'm pretty hardstuck on Downriver run..

[sharp ember]

No

If you're on a server then get someone to run it with you

[torpid yoke]

You get more time with more people?

[sudden night]

One thing I also wondered during fjordur,
is there literally any reason to keep a wooden club if you can make a boomerang

[molten falcon]

club is better if you do a melee build

[gaunt shore]

How long do ban appeals take to get a response? My 150 character got globally banned a few days ago. I submitted a ticket right away to appeal, but still haven’t gotten a response lol

[radiant falcon]

are frogs still good for cp

[molten falcon]

in my server there no dragon and they not spawning how can i make them spawn

my friend kill them all

and they cant spawn

[pine token]

Are you in singleplayer/non-dedicated?

Just leave render and go afk for a while

[latent breach]

can someone please help me? I was using code for level 500 and somehow I messed it up so I went back to the video with it and followed the video again but after posting in the code again and saved and loaded the game again my xp bar was still full and I was stuck at 268 so I went to look at the game.ini again and all the code was gone and the other stuff I added like the tamedfooddrain stuff and that was also gone?

[molten falcon]

you can't edit the file while the game is open

[hasty wolf]

if youre on a unofficial server, you can ask an admin to manually spawn some in, or leave render distance for a while

[latent breach]

ahh okay, thanks!

[sudden night]

is it normal for these purple flowers in scorched earth to give rare mushrooms/flowers at such a stupidly small rate...?

[hasty wolf]

well theyre rare for a reason

[sudden night]

I wonder, is there any way to make herbivores regenerate by eating something besides cake to heal it quicker

like meat for carnivores for example

[molten falcon]

no, that's why cake was introduced

[polar sandal]

mosschops can be leveled to give bonus moshrooms or rare flowers, or leech blood, and a few others.

[hasty wolf]

is there a way to disable dinos clipping through walls on platform structures?

[polar sandal]

not that I'm aware of.

[red olive]

There is no solution to dinos clipping through walls

[ornate marsh]

just like there is no solution to stop ark from being ark unless alot of work was put into it that would never happen this late at the end. just gotta deal with it and hope it doesnt do anything too bad

[polar sandal]

put... jump pads along all your walls...

idk - that's all I got

[ornate marsh]

wouldnt that make it worst since it moves the dinos which is the fastest way to get booted off of the also moving platform

[polar sandal]

probably, or just turn it into a giant bouncy house

[void patrol]

are the small tribe servers PvP or PvE?

[polar sandal]

very sweaty pvp

[green loom]

are win10 smalltribe servers compatible with xbox smalltribes servers?

I need answers

[tepid flame]

Yes

[void patrol]

is that it? As in there's no option for PvE smalls?

on official

[wraith sentinel]

Just had a tribemate leave my tribe to join a stronger one after already breaking the no outside help rule of my tribe

[orchid vortex]

will turrets that are set to player only shoot down rockets and stuff

[wraith sentinel]

It will shoot players within their ranges

[orchid vortex]

yeah i know that but if people shoot rockets at them are they gonna shoot it down if its set on player only?

[pine token]

Afaik turrets can target only players and dinos

Turrets can't target rockets, if that's what you are asking

[orchid vortex]

yes they can lol, on players and dino setting at least

thats why im asking if its the same on players only

[pine token]

Ah I see. Guess it's been a minute since I pvp'd

Still have residual ptsd from a rocket raid where we did not have that option

[elder grotto]

I have a possibly stupid question. I have played on the island in singleplayer. if I now choose a different map in singleplayer, will my island save be still there? 😄

[wraith sentinel]

Yes it will, every map has a different save file

[rough scroll]

what number do i set my ini file for max level 250

[wraith sentinel]

Your difficulty level?

[rough scroll]

yes

[wraith sentinel]

According to wiki, 8.5 makes the max 255

8 makes it 240

[rough scroll]

thanks man

[molten falcon]

If I were to lose my save file for ark but play on officials, what exactly would I lose

[wraith sentinel]

You mean after you delete it, play on official?

Because you can't delete your online account with PS, so you can't lose the characters you've made online

[molten falcon]

I currently and have only played on officials but I’m not sure if I still have my save file or not

[wraith sentinel]

Check your files for Ark

[elder grotto]

The local save file can be deleted, it's not saved on steam

[molten falcon]

If it were to get deleted, what would I lose

[wraith sentinel]

All your characters you have made

[wraith sentinel]

Why wouldn't they save your stuff tho

[molten falcon]

worried for nothing, thought ark was on a different drive

[manic shale]

Why can I find the carts mod with Google (link to workshop) but not when searching the workshop directly?

[serene schooner]

hey, im on steam ark and i dont have the "unofficial pc sessions" filter so i cant play those servers

is there a way to fix it? primitive plus didnt work and im confused

[rain obsidian]

Try to see if U have non dedicated arks but idk, I've never play steam

[sudden night]

artho breaks desert armor

good thing I have my backup set
gets immediately broken too
die of heat

scorched earth going well for me so far

[rare berry]

I don't suppose anyone knows how many minutes a day is by default, do they?

[sudden night]

a full day and night is 1 hour

[rare berry]

Ok. Thanks.

[halcyon lion]

If I make a fairly large dino pen surrounded with fence, will I have to worry about stuff spawning inside? Do I have to put a bunch of foundations everywhere to block spawns?

[elder grotto]

is there any way to get cactus sap and sulfur on the island?

[polar sandal]

don't believe so

[pulsar ice]

What is the best mod to get super strong monsters to summon?

[sudden night]

is it me or is the average level of dinos on scorched earth very low?

[stiff topaz]

not just you, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2182894352&searchtext=custom+dino+levels

[grand dragon]

Gaia has nothing to do with CPU/GPU bottlenecking. We've tested the mod on several different PC configurations and cut out any casting that puts strain on server hosts.

This sounds like a localised issue, not a mod issue.

[sudden night]

how do people survive microraptors on scorched? so many of those mfs spawn in and then I get stunned and ganged up upon by something else and immediately die

happened a bunch of times to me now

[naive dust]

Have a tame with you

[sudden night]

already am

[molten falcon]

hm, interesting. I'd guess it was probably the other mod then

there's a bit of context missing here, as bottlenecking wasn't the actual issue

[sudden night]

anyways are dino levels normally very low in scorched? because mine sure are

[molten falcon]

it ended up being a similar issue to one I've had with the primal path's pre-tlc utahraptors, where the model had so many feathers that it brought my performance to a halt

the issue went away after a dino wipe, so i recommended to try removing some mods

not sure which ones they did, as i recommended several

they may have done it all at once, or they may have done them one at a time

[molten falcon]

every story map excluding genesis has absolutely abysmal level distribution

[sudden night]

I thought it just was the island

[molten falcon]

i wish

the only reason the standard for max level is 150 is because the center had their distribution higher and their difficulty set to 5

so thanks center

[sudden night]

I wonder what map has the highest average level spread? center?

[river wolf]

dont think there is one, all free maps + genesis are most likely the same

[stable ridge]

How do I cool down eggs without ac

Just wait for night?

Or is there a more efficient option

[river wolf]

if ambient temperature doesnt work, its tough. air cons, egg inc, otters or dimetrodons are the best options

[sudden night]

I've yet to ever place down an AC in ark because I always used dimetrodons

[stiff topaz]

A fellow person of culture 👍

[valid finch]

Setting up a Xbox/win 10 server hosted on Nitrado but using beacon for the settings and stats. Tamed Dino’s won’t move, spawned Dino’s will. Weight not an issue. Any ideas?

[elder grotto]

I had that a few times when I used nitrado, it usually resolved itself after a restart

[valid finch]

Thanks! We will try that!

[stone wharf]

[tepid hearth]

What version of win10 is best for ark?

[stiff topaz]

what do you mean by version of win10?

[tawdry nimbus]

Guys, i really need some help. My fps is really bad and my ram is being 70% used by ARK, i have a really good pc and its on less than 60fps on low settings, anyone know what can be causing this, i can send my pc specs if needed

[tepid hearth]

Man's a coder and doesn't know windows versions yikes

[stiff topaz]

..you know how many people say they 'play on win10' and mean steam?

[tepid hearth]

Well I mean Ms store version

[stiff topaz]

could have just been someone asking about what version of ark to play on win10.

[tepid hearth]

Kinda why I have that role

[stiff topaz]

^

and it's a valid assumption because how much does it matter what specific version of win10 you're using lmao

[tepid hearth]

I'm downgrading cos 11 sucks just was asking what version was best

Fair but still

[stiff topaz]

'but still' i know what fucking windows versions are, just not if the question was one such person getting confused. it's happened more often than you'd think.

[vivid haven]

Whats the fastest way to turn tons of ele into dust

and how long would it take

to turn like a 100 ele to dust

[tepid flame]

U can only do it on ext, gen 1 and gen 2

Gen 1 and gen 2 it's the mission terminals

Ext is the terminals around the map

Absolute fastest is triple term

[vivid haven]

er

thats tough thanks for the info good to know its a waste of time

[brazen robin]

if you are on genesis, there isn't much point in using multiple terminals as there is no queue. I believe city terminals do :P but can't remember

[tepid flame]

Ye I was talking about triple term on ext

[teal idol]

For some reason when im trying to use my shadowmanes in fjordur, i crash

what do i do?

[stiff topaz]

Send crash message + got any mods?

also define 'use'

[teal idol]

wdym?

[teal idol]

by that i mean like using abilities, swimming attacking etc

[stiff topaz]

so just randomly while you're riding them

[teal idol]

and i also got mods like dino storage, s+ dino trakcer crafting potion and gravestone mod

[teal idol]

exactly

[stiff topaz]

crash message is the box that pops up with text when you crash

when you close it it copies to your clipboard as text

so send the first couple lines of that text

[stiff topaz]

is that your full modlist?

[teal idol]

yea, i might remove the dino trakcer mod

[stiff topaz]

so modlist looks fine

[teal idol]

yes

[stiff topaz]

Send that crash message, ill look at it in a bit (afk). in the meantime verify your game files

[teal idol]

its been like half an hour

lemme try again and see

[teal idol]

Ok i got it, but can i send it in dms?

[vivid haven]

How difficult is it to tame a noglin small tribes?

And ive heard the noglin kille ur tame after its done mind controlling it is this true?

i get mixed answers somehow

[molten falcon]

it can. depends on the health and all that great stuff.

[vivid haven]

how much damage does the noglin do

[teal idol]

U back?

[stiff topaz]

Yes

[polar pelican]

?

[teal idol]

ok

[teal idol]

how can i send the thing? cause it wont allow screenshots and your on private

not only that, it didnt copy the word

[stiff topaz]

it's your settings, not mine

[teal idol]

it is?

[teal idol]

ok

i sent it in dms i think

[teal idol]

i fixed it i think

can you see it?

[stiff topaz]

Yep

[sudden night]

how many supply crates are there normally at once in the destroyer artifact cave in scorched earth?

[ornate marsh]

no clue but make sure you dont go for the loot drop in the lower ledge of the abyss.

[sudden night]

im already out the cave lol

just discovered it was the hardest scorched earth cave and I somehow managed to clear it with starter equipment and some tames

I only saw a single loot drop though which was a safe one

I survived mostly because I had a megatherium

[ornate marsh]

interesting yeah theres one that is on a lower ledge that is a death trap. even if you grapple down its insta death

[snow wolf]

What stats should you upgrade on a sino?

[shadow jetty]

Stamina mostly.
Also it has a weight reduction, so depending on what you planning on using it for (backpack or jetpack) weight would be the second option!

[ornate marsh]

i usually pump weight and stam yeah. i find around 1k stam never seems to run out unless you wanna glide indefinitely or smthn. so which it gets to 1k i go all weight

[placid hawk]

Fjordur map, i tamed and saddled a argentavis, bit cannot ride him, wHt am i doing wrong?

[charred vale]

You cannot use flyer at certain realm

[placid hawk]

Oh

Is there a way to allow that in the ini config?

[charred vale]

Only desmodous can fly in every realm

[placid hawk]

What about wyvern?

[charred vale]

Same can't fly too

Only realm you can use flyers are vannaland, vanniland and volcano

[ornate marsh]

turn on cave fliers

itll let you fly in the realms

[placid hawk]

I thought i did have it on, but will double check

[ornate marsh]

yeah try flying into a cave and check

[placid hawk]

Ok it is not on and i am apparently not smart enough to configure the server properly, can you help? Or do i need fo go somewhere else?

[flint forge]

how to fix ark crash?

my ark keep crashing 4 times in a row

[ornate marsh]

im going to hope this is SP as i do not recall if you ever said it was or was not. when you load in you can change the settings before loading into the SP world in which you find the option to force cave fliers and then load in. you now can fly in the realms

[placid hawk]

No, privately owned/run server

[pine token]

Note that the Desmodus bypasses the flying restriction. @placid hawk

[molten falcon]

@stiff topaz is your best bet, she's the resident crash expert

[flint forge]

hm?

[molten falcon]

until she sees this, let me try some of the common causes

sp or mp?

[placid hawk]

Was hoping to use agentavis for mining, i'll just figure out how to add the setting into the server config

[pine token]

Hmm I thought I saw a checkbox in the UI, but ok

[brazen robin]

if you are playing singleplayer/non-dedi on PC, cave flying is currently broken the setting doesn't work

[ornate marsh]

best bet might be to get a karkinos

[pine token]

I've been having fun doing the no flying thing, using ravagers in the place of argies

[placid hawk]

You're right, there is an option for single player, but im on a private multiplayer server i own, there was no little checkbox in the normal server options so i need to add the parameters manually to the ini file, which i "did" except i didnt do it correctly coz while i understand what i need to put in, i'm not sure how to put it into the coding so that it works

[ornate marsh]

heres my question are you using mods?

[placid hawk]

No, it's a ps4 server it doesnt allow for mods

[ornate marsh]

hm mk

[brazen robin]

-ForceAllowCaveFlyers in the command line or ForceAllowCaveFlyers=True in gameusersettings under [ServerSettings]

both should work

[placid hawk]

I'll just read up on how to properly add code lines to the ini when i have more time and the server is quiet so i can do some restarting without kicking people off server

[pine token]

Am I colorblind, or do the Yutyrannus markers for Jotunheim not match any colors in the rarity key?

[brazen robin]

the colors look the same for me the main spawn map right?

its very uncommon except the one uncommon one

[pine token]

I see blue spawn markers on the map, and no blue in the key

Thx, though, that's helpful

[brazen robin]

I see no blue markers. you sure those are not lakes? or the obelisk to leave?

[pine token]

Haha, so they are lakes. Sorry, I never noticed those before.

Always relied on the map itself for lakes

[brazen robin]

lol, the yuty page's map is wrong 😂 it shows jotunheim but the spawn regions is for the fjordur map where jotunheim is showing below it

[pine token]

The shape should have tipped me off

Oh wow, heh

Ah, I wasn't changing my drop-down after clicking on Jotunheim. They're X in that realm.

Minor usability issue imo, but I can live with it

Not even sure why I'm bothering checking, as I do not have upgraded armor

[flint forge]

singleplayer

[ornate marsh]

wyvern milk

[pine token]

I suppose I could do that. How much hypo does it add?

[ornate marsh]

iirc one wyvern milk keeps any cold away even if naked

[pine token]

Ah ok.

[ornate marsh]

so just wear some flak and such pop a milk have a couple extra as they dont go too long iirc and try and find a yuty

[pine token]

I might just search Vardiland a few more times first. I did luck out with a 145 egg there earlier.

(better dinos mod)

[ornate marsh]

personally i like using the lava cave in midgard on the south of the northern part for loot

and ofc the strong cave but thats if you are ok with using a desmodus in the cave and going invis in it

[rare berry]

Sometimes when I'm holding down the interact button to open the wheel menu, when I go to select something, the whhel menu stays open, but my character looks in the selected direction. I have my E key bound to a button on my mouse and I realize it's entirely possible that the button on my mouse may be getting dirty or is beginning to wear out. I was wondering if this was an isolated issue, or if other players who use the actual E key on their keyboards also experience this problem.

[molten falcon]

without knowing anything else, try the -preventhibernation launch parameter

[flint forge]

ty

[flint forge]

btw is that a small window that popped up when u launch the game?

[molten falcon]

Preventing hibernation fixes resource and dino respawn bugs, and allows buff-based mods (that apply their mods only in specific circumstances) to work, allows the S+ dino finder to work properly, and I do highly recommend running with the launch paramater. But I do have to warn that if you later re-enable hibernation (remove the launch option), it can cause crashes. This seems to be able to be fixed by launching with certain launch params and dinowiping, but I've not run any save like that for an extended amount of time so I can't say if it's 100% effective in the long term or not. You'll need to add it to the steam launch paramaters- Right click on ark on steam, properties. Add exactly this- Hyphen included- -preventhibernation
It also increases ram usage quite a bit, but is very much worthwhile```

[flint forge]

alright

[stiff topaz]

Send the crash message

[flint forge]

Fatal error!

VERSION: 350.4
UnknownModule!UnknownFunction (0x0000000000000000) + 0 bytes [UnknownFile:0]

[flint forge]

this, all 4 times

[rich vessel]

Been having alot of issues flying the south most mountains on vanland always crash my game bad

[pine token]

Have you verified the game in Steam yet? How much memory does your PC have?

[molten falcon]

that's the least helpful part of the crash message lol

[flint forge]

bruh

[molten falcon]

first like 10 lines

the log file is saved when you crash in shootergame/saved/logs

[flint forge]

ok

can i dm u the log file i found?

[naive dust]

Depends on your spoil timers. Pop it in there and look at it

Pretty sure there’s a setting that governs this

Ah. Yeah you can’t put a Dino that can carry a platform on another platform

[sudden night]

alright what the hell am I supposed to do if I get fucked by a random microraptor in scorched and immediately get banged by 10 carnivores

[naive dust]

Stop setting your tames to passive would be a start

[ornate marsh]

jump off your creature right when you see it if you see it first.

[sudden night]

They arent on passive

[ornate marsh]

is the issue you die and have to recover your stuff?

[sudden night]

no

its the fact that I die in the first place

[naive dust]

Bring more tames with you

[sudden night]

I already bring 3 tames

[naive dust]

What kind of tames?

[sudden night]

megatherium, thylacoleo and a direwolf

[ornate marsh]

ride a dino that you stay on the back of if stunned

[naive dust]

Those are house pets you need tames

[sudden night]

thats not how microraptors work

[sudden night]

im on scorched earth, there arent many options until lategame

[ornate marsh]

do you not stay on a platform saddle and such?

[naive dust]

You can’t be dismounted from a stego or a magma

[sudden night]

those dont exit on this map

I am saying I am playing on scorched for a reason

[naive dust]

……..

………………..

Allos?

[sudden night]

there are no allosauruses on scorched either

[naive dust]

Rexes and Yutys final offer

[sudden night]

highest level rex ive seen on the entire map was level 20

and they are very rare

yuty's exist but barely at all

[naive dust]

A level 20 Rex is better than no Rex though

You just have to spread levels into health and melee to make up for it

Levels don’t mean to much when you’re talking about rexes vs carnos either

[sudden night]

its about time I build a proper base on scorched instead of wasting my time searching for non-shit tames tbh

but I havent really seen any good spots yet ;/

[ornate marsh]

you are SP right?

[sudden night]

yes

[ornate marsh]

a lil dangerous but 35 70 is a nice flat spot.

if you already have a build in mind dont mind me but if you dont i like aaron longstaffs big adobe base. nice aesthetics, has the buff and everything

[sudden night]

ah I see, on top of the peak I assume?

[ornate marsh]

maybe? watched a video on spots it was up against a wall kind of so could have been or could have been below it

[sudden night]

hmm

the area below has good metal but isnt very pretty and has no water

and if its on the spike I dont have a way to access that properly yet

I guess ill keep searching for now

[ornate marsh]

yeah just an idea of an area bc even the little places around it seemed semi flat

prob would end up being the spot you go for metal/put an oil vein instead

[sudden night]

man I used giveallexplorer notes on one of my characters but even if I use another character and open a crate now I never get the popups anymore, I liked those :(

[ornate marsh]

75 69 also is flat but has a nice little pond

[sudden night]

thats where my current temporary base is lol

[ornate marsh]

yeah i never do that bc i like getting the exp gradually/on tames to go get lvls and also just reading them etc

iirc arent the exp notes going to be getting the voice overs? theoretically maybe when switch updates

53 11 also has a spot and a water vein location

[sudden night]

I think I found a spot

40 50 is pretty amazing

[ornate marsh]

hm hvent seen that spot anywhere

[sudden night]

50 50 is also pretty awesome

thinking of building on the spike but it might be too small

._.

[naive dust]

Seems like all the best spots aesthetically are always to damn small

[sudden night]

40 50 is great but is too big lol
