not sure the specifics, but its high
frustrating fact is
I downed a female wyvern, it did a lightning attack while it went down somehow, killed me, and when I come back a minute later its torpor is gone
:l
this is my second map with wyverns
and being limited to argies this time makes things a lot harder
also for some reason the wyvern focuses me over my tames, makes me wonder why and how their ai works
or agressive ai in general
I tranqed a female wyvern, it went down, It didnt have ANY milk????????
wdym by limited by argies
playing on scorched
ah so only a couple fliers
yes
that sucks
but anyways, I just knocked out a wyvern
and it did not have any milk
its a female, I am on singleplayer
only reason I can think of is because I died after tranqing it?
dont think thatd affect it?
its possible the way it works is milk is added after its knocked out by like a script, so you dying unloaded it and stopped it from running?
idk
oh well, its singleplayer, I did down the wyvern so I guess its fair if I use commands to get 5 milk
sure
you use any mods?
yeah thats about mine. I use 2.5x harvest and 3x taming
but some extra mods aswell
ty for sharing
this is the first playtrough I do with singleplayer settings disabled though
ah interesting. You doing just single map? So no transferring?
yep
interesting. you beat all bosses before?
I played island and fjordur so far
now on scorched
I limit myself to only transferring my character between maps, and if I do that I even mindwipe and play at low levels for a short while to feel how difficult the map is when starting
I still heavily debate myself about it though, maybe I should create a new character for each map
also I only see low level eggs right now, would it be worth hatching a low level egg to at least have an upgrade over argies?
would it make future eggs more easy?
ehhhh
it may but keep in mind itll have trash stats
its faster than an argent though regardless
it takes time for them to make it. I think its 10 every 40 minutes.
really?
thats nonsense, so far every one I tamed instantly had milk when downed
pretty sure wyverns don't regen milk lol
welp
I died from fall damage after grabbing an egg out of all things
but now I respawned I secured it woot
yeah wiki says
" Wyvern Milk - Dropped by unconscious female Wyverns (or found in its inventory after rendering unconscious for first time) or dead Alpha Wyverns only
Milk will vanish from its inventory if not picked up in time before it wakes up, either from inventory or killing it."
so they don't regen milk 
hmm
actually it says it regens every hour later. strange
whats max level wyvern eggs again? 180 or 190?
180
190 is wyvern, 180 is tek
oh 190? mb
I found a 200 egg
ur using boosted settings
u on official settings?
Yea
weird
It was lightning wyvern
wyverns/rock drakes are 8 stages higher (40 levels on difficulty 5) so 190 
welp I died a ton but I got my wyvern egg lol
yeah but I am limited to argies here lol
good ol scorched. it has 3 flyers total
couldnt even use turrets because leveling is agony in scorched and I didnt have the engram
unless you count the moth 
anyways, I brought 12 level 250 argies and 6 barely survived
I must have died a dozen times too to get one egg here (most were from trying to get milk from a lightning wyvern though)
lol
grab level 175 egg
hatch egg
it spawns a level 1 wyvern. What the fuck?
this aint normal
...is there any command to cheat in a wyvern egg of a certain level?
can only spawn in level 1 eggs
I think its the inventory transfer mod that fucked it
im pissed like what am I supposed to do now
uninstall da mod maybe? idk
forcetame a high level?
then drop out wyvern milk to make up for it
and dont use it for a while to mimic the time to grow?
yeah mods can suck sometimes but the convenience is so good'
oh right if I do forcetame on a 150 wyvern I get a 224 wyvern oops
math time I guess
You don't have to force tame a wyvern, you can find a high level or the one you found before, and use "cheat getegg 0" to get an egg from the wyvern.
ah good to know if this happens again
I just reinstalled the game and I'm getting "Fatal error"
Do wyvern nest ever respawn? Playing on official crystal isles so all the nests have been destroyed.
is there an ini thing to speed up tamed dinos regen speed?
TamedDinoCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier
Im not a noob but the farthest ive ever gotten to beating the game was getting 2 artifacts on the island and i want to start preparing to kill a boss but i have no clue where to even start anybody have any suggestions like what to bring and which one is easiest
depends, do you want the most efficient creatures for each boss or a general army? If a general army rexes are the best bet, if the former then you want megatheriums for the broodmother, rexes for megapithecus, and theris for dragon. For tek cave/overseer you can use rexes or theris but rexes are generally preferred by most
the easiest would probably be the megapithecus or the broodmother if you bring megatheriums
dragon is hands down the hardest of the base three cause of its flight and fire breath
Ok for the general army should i tame wild dinos or learn how to breed correctly?
def breed. Even if just for imprints its a massive buff
if you have time and want it to go as smooth as possible get quite a few mutations. Syntac has a very good beginner breeding video that I quite like
ah sorry cant link it, but its called "ARK For Dummies - Mutations"
And for breeding i dont want to cheat but 2 days ingame is like aloot of time is that standard or is it ok if i turn it down
turn it down if you like
its your game
careful to balance CuddleImprintMultiplier with maturation speed though, or else you wont get full imprint
Ok thanks i just have to stay up all night learning how to do mutations now 😅
no need
just find a video for it, like the one I said
it explains most everything you need to know
what's the easiest way to translate the levels on the incubator to actual stats or translate the parents stats to levels?
The one and only Video you will ever need for mutations! feel free to ask any questions and if YouTube or you do not delete them I will answer them asap.
You will find this guide full of everything you need to know about breeding and then some!
0:00 - Intro
0:28 - stats explanation
1:41 - Taming effectiveness
2:47 - stat cap and level cap
3:01...
pardon?
the incubator shows both stats and level, you can't "transfer them" unless I don't understand correctly or your meaning a mod of some sort
how do I view the stats then?
I just see stuff like 13 for health and 17 for stamina, which I assume is the amount of levels in those
if i wanna transfer my cryopods to another server i transfer them in "ark data" right? at the transmiter
the incubator will tell you how many stat points are in each .... er well stat. most of them have set incriments I suppose you get to know overtime.
eh I don't think dododex will show the correct stats on tamed dinos if you plug the values in but I think there is some other app that will
Or the wiki
wiki says wild only for the stat distribution
I agree that ideally the incubator would show both points and full number (like the Awesome Spyglass does)
your inventory will transfer with you as well, or you can upload to the obelisk
What many of us seem to do, @halcyon lion , is live with the stat numbers points and not worry about what values they represent
still need to figure out what the parents stat points are so you know when you get the perfect offspring, right?
look up ark smart breeding for windows.
And in the future, you could also just write the original parent numbers down and reference those, combined with a bit of deduction
yeah like. this isn't correct I'm sure it's been a while but when we did our rexes Itd be like 20hp 20hp 20hp 22hp
ah ha! plus two, and I know for every one stat points it gets 200hp so that's 400hp!
again... these numbers aren't correct. just saying
You mean the Incubator is showing incorrect numbers?
That doesn't seem super likely to me
the incubator shows their "wild" points not any tamed points as those don't pass down.
wild points include wild, taming bonus and mutations 
Another reason to note the original parent stats before leveling
best plan if you don't know what their stats are and don't want to mess with Ark smart breeder or other, just look at a bunch of eggs until you see 2 different values for the stats
best to just use wild tames for breeding tho.
we always left the slot 1 our current set, because I can never remember what they were and I'd run out like ha! mutation! and they'd be like no.
so we just left the left most egg in there and I could look back and forth.
it's not ideal, or suggested, but for old stoners who can't remember... hey
You guys got any recommendations for taming a tapejara that is very difficult to get to land?
Bolas, net gun if that’s an option.
Do net guns get them to land?
I think they will go down to attack you if you eat a rare flower?
but then everything in the general vicinity will try to attack you, so be careful 😄
@naive dust
yes
Straight to the ground
@naive dust what does that the red crossheir when using the nets mean?
Blue indicates no target is being aimed at;
Green indicates the target can be immobilized by the projectile;
Yellow indicate the target can be slowed by the projectile, but not immobilized;
Red indicates the projectile has no effect on that target, or that it is an ally.
It’s gonna hit your tame
ok so for 'TamedDinoCharacterHealthRecoveryMultiplier', 'EnableCryoSicknessPVE', and 'WildDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier', what do i put them under? (i.e. [ScalabilityGroups], or [ServerSettings], or smth like that)
or does it not matter ;-;
wyverns have a cooldown on milk, when it woke up the milk was deleted from its inventory and since u knocked it out immediately the cooldown wasnt done yet
Is it true that I can configure the build limits of motorboats on my mp server? And is there any way to move an unconscious player if they are laying in a bed?
Yes. And maybe trying destroying the bed.
@naive dust do you know how to configure the former?
One sec
Alright so to increase the limit it’s the platform structure multiplier. The following is instructions to increase distance from platform.
So, you can edit your ".ini" launch file with some extra commands to allow big boats.
These instruction sets will help you find the file on your PC:
Steam:
1.Proceed to this folder location, on the Disk Drive that your Steam games are installed on:
[DRIVE:]\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
2. Open the File named "GameUserSettings" (it should open in Notepad)
3. Scroll down to the section with the header "[Server Settings]", and edit the values or add new launch command lines.
4. Save the File and Close it.
5. Launch the game fresh, and it should work.
Gamepass:
- Open a Windows Folder Browser, and in the Searchbox at the top right, type in "StudioWildcard."
- A brief list of Folders will appear, double-click into the one followed by a series of obscure letters and numbers - not any of the ones with map names.
- Proceed to:
[DRIVE:]\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\StudioWildcard.[RANDOM_NUMBERS]\LocalState\Saved - PIN this Folder Location to your Quick Access bar on the Left of the Folder Browser so you can easily find it later (note that the "My Paintings" Folder is also here.)
- Continue to:
[DRIVE:]\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\StudioWildcard.[NUMBERS]\LocalState\Saved\UWPConfig\UWP - Open the File named "GameUserSettings" (it should open in Notepad)
- Scroll down to the section with the header "[Server Settings]", and edit the values or add new launch command lines..
- Save the File and Close it.
- Launch the game fresh, and it should work.
And here is the set of command lines to edit or add in the file, you can increase the values for even bigger boats.

Fyi there’s a pin describing how to get to the ini files for each platform, can save you some copy pasting to just direct people to pins for the future
I'm playing on PC official PVE
my skiff is stuck in the air.
it can go left, right, forward, and backwards.
but it can't go up or down. it also can't land.
i tried to take all the element out. but when it's fuel reaches 0 it just stays in the air.
i tried to uncryo a giga onto it. but that doesn't make it land like it usually does.
it's been like this for 3 days already.
anyone knows how to fix this?
This happened to one of my osprey skiffs too. Happened when the server did a reset while the skiff was floating without a player over water. It broke more and I couldnt even move it sideways.
I never found a fix and eventually scrapped it
so you don't know how to fix it?
Correct. But at least you arent alone in having the issue
thanks for the help
There is no fix. Demolish and get half your resources back.
i should have guessed. typical wild code bs. fix one exploit no one knows anything about and break 10 other things
I once had a magic skiff that would randomly teleport back to my base. Thought I was crazy for the longest time. Until a tribemate borrowed it when I was at work and it happened to him. He messaged me apologizing and telling me he thought he left it “right here” I told him to go to my personal house at base, and lo and behold. The magic skiff was right there.
That once happened to my dead body O_o
happens to me every time i try to tame a bat
Ark is wild sometimes man
just sometimes?
Like we were based up in the Eden ring and I’d fly it out to rockwells garden to kill bugs and it’d just be gone. So many times I was like “Didn’t I fly out here in my skiff? Shit I gotta quit drinking..”
is it on space biome?
no, it's in eden
but i might be able to move it to space. you think that will help?
no if its at eden the giga should works but idk why tho. its abit weird
if its at space i could undestand the giga might not be standing cos its floating
you sure the uncryro giga on top wont works?
yes. I'm sure
did you ride the giga while its on the skiff?
yea, i tried that too
how about try weight down your player till capped with metals and mount the skiff?
tried that too
im running out of idea honestly cos giga always works for me 🤣
thanks for the help
whats the most beautiful map in ark beside of the island
probably lost island or fjordur
Alright so I had an argy, it died high up in the air, issue is it's cache is currently floating extremely high up there, so now how am I ever supposed to grab the loot? it's so dumb that they dont fall down...
Get another bird?
Or build up?
wayyy too damn high to build up to
and you cant open another inventory while flying
I guess my only option is to use commands then
Remove all element from skiff and wait untill it drains itself out of ele
Guys how do i get a lot of levels onto my gasbag? im having trouble leveling him up
So, (just making sure I understand correctly) the above settings includes rafts, motorboats, and all platform saddles?
The prevention volumes is unrelated to any; as far as if the rest apply to rafts or not though, can’t say. Never been a big builder or used 
@stiff topaz I don't suppose you know what the default values are for each of those settings?
The ARK: Survival Evolved dedicated server has a wide variety of configuration options that control its behavior and adjust many aspects of the game.
My game crashes in Fjordur when I get close to a specific area (there is a castle there)
Someone who can read the crash log by DM?
@stiff topaz sorry, one more thing, does it matter exactly where I add those settings into my gus.ini?
Must be under the ServerSettings header (assuming that these are all GUS settings, can’t recall off the top of my head). Make sure the game is closed BEFORE editing and that the options don’t already exist in the file (edit the existing ones if they do)
I think I did something wrong. I adjusted the settings that were already there and added the ones that weren't. But now my server won't start. well, the game panel says it started but the status bars didn't change. Any idea what I did wrong?
assuming it's the same reason oldgen consoles crash there it's probably a ram/processor issue.
PC, its not very good anyway, after searching for a while i found a post with a similar crash, the author of the post fixed it by verifying the game files, i'm trying it right now.
The electricity in my house went out while downloading Fjordur, maybe that caused the problem (I hope so)
you can DM it to me
specific area crashes generally either mean a specific creature you don't have downloaded, or, yeah, dodgy download
Status bars?
Are you in singleplayer or on a server?
no yeah. Xboxes can't get crash reports... per say. I figured you were PC. just saying the fjordor maps seems to have a lot of ... like mist, lighting layers, and is overall fairly resource intensive.
there's probably about three areas old gen consoles literally just can't go to without having to reload.
Okay so we are at our whits end here, we play on pve official. My husband keeps getting disconnected during a server save during two specific instances. 1. Using a managamr on Extinction. He can fly around on any other dino and stay connected. Mana, nope disconnect 99% of the time. 2. Doing the Star Dolphin mission on Gen2. We have nearly identical computers, only exception is our video boards. I do not get disconnected while using a mana in extinction. I rarely get disconnected during Star Dolphin, once out of 4 test runs. He can log into my pc and run star dolphin fine. His pc specs: Ryzen 5 5600x, 32Gb memory, Invidia 3080 FE, ark is installed on an ssd. We have tried uninstalling ark and doing a fresh install, verified integrity after the new install. Window system file check, check disk on all drives, our network reset, restarted our router, netshell tcip reset, disabled nagle and no delay. He is about to reinstall windows but not certain how that is going to help. I have found some posts on the internet of people having similar problems, but have yet to find a solution in any of the responses. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?
Sorry, my English is not very good, so I read wrong and I thought you thought I was on Console (I usually use Google Translator)
aye your doin good then. lol. there's some launch settings you can put in to disable shadows and reduce graphics in other ways. it may help, it may not !
it's a dodgy download.
are y'all on the same network ?
yes. We sit a few feet from each other, using the same switch. We both use wired connection, not wifi.
@stiff topaz server. By status bars I'm referring to the bars that display how much of the CPU and ram is being used.
before diving into router settings I'd check and see if you have the same problem in a single player game mode.
another quick thing to check would make sure his network driver is updated
He said he can do that right now. That is one thing we haven't tried, will report back in a few minutes.
Yes, forgot to add that we updated chipset and nic drivers.
kk. it may be the switch itself. the cable, the setup, too early to say
I'd just rule out hardware before moving to network
too bad can't send pics and diagram your network setup
Star Dolphin in single player worked just fine. He is not opposed to trying anything at this point. That being said he is network/voip admin. He ran a pcap while doing star dolphin last night just to see what it would show. As he disconnects, he sees very minimal responses from the server. One every 5 seconds for 30 seconds prior to his disconnect.
PC and PC connect to switch connect to network controller connect to router connect to internet?
if possible try connecting directly to the router
pc to gigabit switch to layer 3 gigabit switch to router
we are both set up that way
two switches or same switch
same switch
kk lol just checking
yeah. try bypassing the switch if possible. if that works we can try to config the switch
no worries, gotta ask the questions we understand
the switch is configured he said
just for giggles he is going to switch our ports we are connected to on the switch and see what happens
kk
also check
Press Win + R to open the Run menu, and type devmgmt.msc to open Device Manager
Expand Network adapters and double-click the appropriate adapter
Navigate to the Advanced tab
Select Link Speed & Duplex from the Property list and make sure its value is set to Auto Negotiation.
He already checked that. All links in the network are running at 1gb full duplex.
hmmm
could try and reset the TCP/IP stack
and maybe even try the super dumb thing that it might be the dang cable.
gotta head off for a while. hopefully someone can pick this up. good luck. I'll check in later.
Already did that and he is going to swap the cable right now. Thanks for your help, we appreciate. Have a great day!
What titan gives dedicated storage?
Why are all the small tribe ldl servers EU? I thought there was going to be NA as well?
do the new LDL small tribes servers wipe
No
Anyone know why for some reason in my singleplayer game all explorer notes give 4x exp and none give 2x?
depends on the notes you're collecting
Im looking at footage, collecting the same notes, every single one gives purple buff
whereas on footage most give the yellow buff
eh ive heard if you use single player settings they are fairly buffed. idk if that's why but maybe!
Mmm I dont. My main issue is that im trying to do note runs but im getting rather small amounts of exp comparatively to what I normally get
idk though maybe the video im watching has higher exp rates, but still weird
Your switch, is it the only device connected to the wall using RJ-45 (ethernet cable) or is there a router or modem also connected before the switch?
It's the only thing connected to the wall. That connection then goes to our closet with a layer 3 switch and then router.
You have more than one external IP or same IP address for both PCs?
same
That could be the issue
How so? We have been playing ark together for years on the same network setup, including doing missions on gen2 when it was first released. The only time it's an issue is during the star dolphin mission recently and while using a mana on ext.
Try replacing your ethernet cable with his and vice versa, do you get the problem instead? Anyways, Official gen2 PVE servers are a mess, very long saves usually and there's the 2 of you on the same IP addresses saying "Hello here I am" and I'm willing to bet, it loses connection to one of your PCs because the server can't handle the process of "thinking" on where to send information once the server is responsible again because you have same IPs, so it sends to one client PC and not the other - connection lost.
On the other hand, try a VPN or something on one of the PCs to get a different IP, preferably one that is located nearby so that you don't get terrible ping added.
We tried replacing his ethernet cable this morning. Also swapped the ports we are connected to on the switch. He tried star dolphin after doing that and sadly the result was the same. He will disconnect from star dolphin when I'm not playing ark or when my computer is not even turned on. Our ips are the same externally, but internally they are different. We have played ark this way since 2015, it only recently became an issue. We truly appreciate all your suggestions. I'm not trying to come across as being difficult, simply explaining the steps we have tried on our end to fix this issue. It's so frustrating that nothing has worked to fix the problem. He is actually in the process of reloading his pc now, not sure how that is going to help but a clean install never hurt any one. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will magically fix it.
Anyone else lose there character
Already did thankfully I got some of my tames back from my tribe so I got my previous characters I’d
Now it’s just a waiting game
I got ark free from epic games is it worth to buy it to steam
bcs it would be nice to be able to use mods
Yes
If I want to change some of the ‘ini’ stuff on my single player world do I put the new lines in the server setting or something else?
Can someone please help me? I changed these settings to these values and apparently my mp server doesn't like it. Do All of them go in GameUserSettings, or do some of them go in the Game.ini? Also, I think the last two I had to add to my ini, but I'm not 100% sure what heading they belong under.

Where can i find ovis in fjordur?
@sacred relicThe wiki should have a spawn map for them
nope, all other maps and genesis 1 and 2
I literally just checked. It's at the very bottom of the list after Lost Island.
Idk, mines dont say anything about fjordur
make sure you use the correct wiki https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_Map/Fjordur
I used fandom wiki, thanks!
what is the command for deleting all wyvern eggs etc on a map again? I cant find it
how many rockets does it take to blow up a tek turret or tek gen?
that wiki is no longer moderated so anyone can make changes to it. So make sure you stick to the one used above
anyone got leveling tips on schorched? I missed some important engrams and I gotta level up for it but there are barely any good exp sources in scorched ;/
im currently level 103
I cant find ovis 😢
what setting reduces the time it takes for an imprint
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier
Keep visiting the spots marked on the spawn map, and you'll find one eventually.
Explorer notes and killing wyverns
Alternatively, just make a mindwipe
Fatal error!

i accidentaly loaded without my mods, loading back in with them caused this, any idea?
happens every time i join, just tried again
All of that should go under the [Server Settings] section of the .ini file
Best place to start is always validating the files, and updating graphics cards
? sorry, how does one do this?
i found the validate part, what about graphics card?
You'll have to look for specifics based on your computers graphics card
When refining element dust into unstable element, do I have to let it stabilize in order to use it?
Yes, it won't take long though.
how do i get the arrow that shows my location on a map
ShowMapPlayerLocation or something similar, in the general settings tab I believe.
ok thanks
Move a different mod to top of load order. Top one of them has set a faulty gamemode. Not your fault, just a mod following a bad tutorial.
I transferred from theisland407 to lostisland1030, realized my stuff didn't get transferred, came back to theisland407, uploaded my stuff to ark data, and now I can't see lostisland1030 in the transfer menu. It is online in battlemetrics.

I think
So,i am having an issue with a karkinos,would aprecciate if anyone helped.
1: a trap (wich im pretty sure works and i have replicated perfectly)is not working;
2:after i shoot it with a catapult it just gets out of the trap and starts ghosting and ignoring me,making me unable to knock it out.
Thanks to everybody to everybody that repliyes
y'all get it figured out
Maybe I can help. Which trap?
I've struggled with trapping them myself
net gun
Having an issue with connecting to a server my friend set up, getting a connection time out when anyone tries to connect, nobody is on the server atm
net gun a kark?
you can
Im using captaing fatdog's v3 karkinos trap,but i replaced the metal parts with stone since they cant damage stone
whose your host
Yeah, that one has failed me as well, although at one point it was working for me
I mean i dont have the engram,but i dont have gen 2 and im on ab
ah. fair.
who is hosting your server. nitrado gportal p2p custom etc
y'all host it yourself ?
Aight,any tips on how to stop it from ghosting me?
have host check router for DMZ and enable
Have you tried the one by Zyshro? (I can't link to youtube here.)
Gonna try it when i can get on
Imthat one worked for me yesterday, after several failures
He said it's "on a Linux box and the port is open"
I think I might have identified what causes both traps to fail, if you're interested @random parrot
Yea? Dm me so we dont fill this chat lmao
DMZ has nothing to do with Linux or ports.
What is a dmz
demilitarized zone
What
I think the issue is they walk right over it if you kite them directly through in a straight line. Instead, go into the trap and when they're almost on you veer right or left to make them rotate a little as they step into the trap @random parrot
I'm just a middleman here I don't speak moon runes
it disabled all security features on a router. it is most likely why nobody is able to connect to the server.
I don't do dms for help btw, that's what the channel is for
Fair
Captain fatdog's trap doesn't involve verticality,my karkinos simply wont get in as if it doesn't have enough space
Anyone here with experience setting up a Linux server?
The ARK: Survival Evolved dedicated server has a wide variety of configuration options that control its behavior and adjust many aspects of the game.
Yes, a fresh install of everything (windows included) finally fixed it. He uninstalled and reinstalled ark earlier this week and it didn't fix it the first time. Unsure exactly why doing the same steps fixed it this time, but best not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Thanks again for trying to help us, we appreciated it!
hah right, glad you guys got it working
That could be true. The issue I identified seemed to fit the other trap I mentioned by Zyshro, though, as I finally got one locked in.
I'll be checking my trap tomorrow or building Zyshro's,thanks for the help!
The traps are similar shapes btw
What was its health down to when it wasn't agroing?
If its health is high enough it should at least be attacking the trap
Sometimes full,sometimes low, it just doesn't want to aggro on me specifically
I put a high health thyla/rav just in front of the trap, between it and the catapult, and let it attack the dino while I operated the catapult
Will try it
Can also kite on a rav or raptor as they can fit through the exits (maybe thyla but it would need to jump out of the trap at an awkward moment)
Tapejara don't lay unfertilized eggs, do they?
Looks like they do
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Tapejara_Egg
is there a command to allow structure meshing
there's an ini setting
thanks
why can't I see the server I was last on in the transfer window?
This has been around for YEARS and it's not fixed, "snapshot 10" there are fix guides but for everything but Xbox does anyone have a way to fix
I fixed it by relogging
Can somone tell me how in hell does desmond taming effect work
I've been feeding it moschops for the past half an hour it's barley 70%
I even Uninstalled and no fix
Yea, i just want meat for rex for now
best place to find ovis in fjordur?
Why did I lose the sound in the ark? it is everywhere except the park itself, the volume is normal in the settings
What map are you on?
Ragnarok
And does the sound cut out in a specific area and return when you farther away?
Nope, it's nowhere in ARK, not in the menu, not in the game, nowhere
Make sure the windows audio options are set to whatever audio device you’re using. If they are and you’re not getting any sound still use something else like speakers and test that.
In the advanced settings of windows audio settings you can set a specific device for a specific app. If you change this for Ark you’ll have to completely close out of Ark and reopen it.
Ok I'll try it now
Yeah, I rebooted the computer and it worked right away ://
is there any way to possibly get higher quality rocket launcher (blueprints)?
No
Those days are long gone xD
How should I deal with rubble golems in scorched? Only thing I can think of is thylas so far but are there any better options to deal with them?
(I am not allowed to transfer anything between maps)
Rockets/tek rifle/gigas
Otherwise thyla/carno
Or just run past em
is it normal for there only to be like 3 eggs in the entire world scar on scorched?
I am on singleplayer
and what is the egg respawn time?
Yeah. Also it varies I believe. Just make sure to pick up all eggs whether you want them or not so more will spawn.
I eat the ones I don’t want
yeah same
yummy
anyone wanna start fresh on official?
are there no small tribe server anymore?
certainly are still there
probably have better luck in #735196267373920286
wyverns attempt to spawn an egg when they spawn, and then every 1 1/2 hours unless the timer gets reset
someone should add this to the wiki I swear
this game is too damn buggy to play. i expect the same game from ark 2
Can i place a replicator in a raft?
negative
any way to fix fatal crashes ?
depends on the cause. probably performance related if you already verified files
Thanks!
Send the crash message
there is any number of things it could be.
Anyone know a good official or unofficial server that has a good amount of people but not overpopulated
ok
Fatal error!
VERSION: 350.4
UnknownModule!UnknownFunction (0x0000000000000000) + 0 bytes [UnknownFile:0]
unfortunately that's about as generic as you can get and doesn't really narrow anything down. can you describe what was happening at the time?
it just crashed when we are loading
and it dosent stop crashing even with no mods
Have you tried verifying?
what setting makes it so i only need one imprint which gives 100% to babies
babyimprintamountmultiplier in game.ini
What map are you trying to load?
the island
it worked fine before
now it wants to make me and my friend mad
Is there any save data on it rn? Can you try load another map?
we want to play on the island
This is just to test.
we also have an save on it
so i have the babyimprintamountmultiplier to 1000 but i just got 8% imprinting instead of 100%, i dont know if it has something to do with thebabycuddleintervalmultiplier or any other baby related settings but i dont know how to fix this.
the others work after we remove the save file on them but when we get out of the map it just crashes again
it is affected by other settings but 1000 should be enough for pretty much anything. might not be editing the correct place or way
Yo, can somebody help me?
I wanna make a .ini file that spawns all dinos in their corresponding biomes all across the map, does anybody know how to do that?
(I'm not asking you to do it all for me, just give me an example/show me how with like 1 and I can do the rest)
if im taming a griffin and it got attacked and now has 50% taming effectivness and i use the command dotame will it be tamed will 100% effectiveness?
any ideas ?
to how to fix it
So if you load ragnarok, and then exit, ragnarok starts to crash?
yes
Tysm, now I just have to figure what the heck any of that means 🙏🏼
Np lol, im happy to help with any questions
alright ty
What launch options do you use?
the normal one
So not edited?
Ngl, I have no idea what I'm looking at with this.
yep
Would you mind giving me an example and putting *****'s around what I should focus on and change?
*****'s to bold it
There's formatting if you slap it into discord, if that helps
i saved it at 1000 but im still getting 8% imprinting every like 30 or 45 seconds it allows me to imprint, what settings do i need to change so that I can imprint within a short period of time (before the dinosaur becomes an adult) and that the imprinting gives 100% that will not somehow mess up how long it takes for dinosaurs to mate.
The most important ones (all you need) are the notes at the end, and the simple complete example with one dino. though for your purposes, you'll still need to add multiple dinos to the one container
you're already using it, you're just not editing it correctly. describe what file and how.
i can screenshare what i did if you want
Make sure you're following this
And that the game has been shut down before you edit the file
i close the game before editing the ini files
Option needs to be in Game.ini, under the /script/shootergame.shootergamemode header
if there's multiple of the one entry, only one of them will work
I:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor is this what it should look like
Yep path looks good
so
babyimprintamountmultiplier=1000
babycuddleintervelmultiplier=0.001
if I wanted to add the ravager "cave wolf" I would just add this?
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesBeach_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Ravagers",EntryWeight=0.20,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("CaveWolf_Character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="CaveWolf_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))
That would put them on the beaches but yes
Are they in Game.ini, and under the header?
at the very top it says [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGamemode]
If they're underneath that, that's fine
Alright, can you send me your INI file so I can take a look at it?
though honestly might also want to try setting the imprint amount mult to 2000
maybe it's just seriously skewed
yea perhaps it may be skewed
so would this spawn a maewing?
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesGrassland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Maewing",EntryWeight=0.20,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("MilkGlider_character_BP_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="MilkGlider_character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))
Yeah looks fine
Yep
seriously? damn, now i just gotta do this for EVERY single DLC dino, shouldnt take to long lol
well..
alright im going to re-launch ark and ill let you know if the problem is still occuring
?
sort of. there's a few that you can't spawn without the aid of mods. Also, you will need to have multiple dinos in one container, which means you need slightly more complex code
how would that work..?
ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=(NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesSwampSmall_LostIsland_C",NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Shadowmane 1-3",EntryWeight=0.03,NPCsToSpawnPercentageChance=(1.0,0.8,0.4),NPCsToSpawnStrings=("LionfishLion_Character_BP_C","LionfishLion_Character_BP_C","LionfishLion_Character_BP_C"),NPCsSpawnOffsets=((X=0.0,Y=0.0,Z=0.0),(X=400.0,Y=0.0,Z=0.0),(X=300.0,Y=-250.0,Z=0.0))),(AnEntryName="NU X JugBug 1",EntryWeight=0.1,NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Bog_Jugbug_Character_BP_Tameable_C"))),NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Bog_Jugbug_Character_BP_Tameable_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.1),(NPCClassString="LionfishLion_Character_BP_C",MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.06)))
When i try launch a non dedicated server it loads then sends me back to the option screen any ideas ?
there's a bit more stuff than you technically need in there (namely multiple creatures in one spawn group as opposed to one spawn entry)
make sure you have the map you're trying to download installed
also when i add mods and try to start the server it loads then keeps loading and then stops and freezes my game could it be 1 of the mods i have added?
my pc is very beefy so it should not be thaty
freezing is generally loading and if it's an overhaul, expect a long one
can you add a breakline to that
beefy pc doesn't guarantee a fast load, i have a pretty damn modern one and it still takes me several minutes
or does it HAVE to be one full text
whats that??
VScode
never heard of it, but that looks nicee
If i walk around with a male procoptodon(kangoroos) will he make spawn females ?😭
No idea, but personally I would commit mass genocide apon all dinos in the area, then leave for a while and come back to see what spawn in
still no idea how to fix it ?
I did this multiple times and thats how i got four male procoptodon.I found one female but a megatherium killed her.But yeah i did the genocide, And i'll do it again
pfft
unfortunately im still getting 8%
10th times that charm
i just waited for another egg to spawn as well
im not sure what the problem is other than my world is just skewed
alright i tried to get vscode
it does looks better as far as colr and things b u t
its also kinda harder to read
Alt Z
cant you wear either a few pieces of ghillie or scuba with a few pieces of hazmat suit to get the full buff?
which pieces were they if so?
Genocide made spawn another kangoroo.But he's a male , again💀💀💀
oh lol yeah that was an issue for me too, but i turned it off
ask away? lol
But how do we play together ark
im like
ps4 cannot play with any other platform
90% sure u cant
What
you cant
Why
I googled it
There was "crossplay on all platforms
Is there no way to jump over and find a way to play together
? There must be a way
what pieces can you wear to keep from having to wear a full set of hazmat?
to avoid radiation?
i fixed the imprinting thing
now my dinos get 100% imprint and can be imprinted every 30 seconds
ye
need the full set
i thought you could wear a couple pieces of either ghillie or scuba cant remember which
how does scuba help with radiatiion
do you mean radiation or the swamp cave gas
Scuba/Ghille is Swamp Cave
radiation. did i confuse the two. alright oops
radiation is the stuff most commonly found in aberrations red zone that kills you and dinos mega fast
look i dont know just thought i could get out of needing to wait for more gas
As far as I recall, you need full hazmat for radiation.
wanna go for rock drakes on fjordur but need more gas for the suit now
what was the fix? just setting it up hgihr?
yeah you'll need the full set
and prob best to keep another extra set just incase smthn happens?
yeah
gen2 free tek suit can be use in radiation zone too if you got them
ark is such a waiting game
dont have any dlcs sadly
I want to raise an army of imprinted lvl Rex's i kinda wanna speed up maturation speed but i need the imprint so does it lower the time till imprint or will it stay the same and i wont get the imprint or is there a setting to lower imprint time
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier is what affects imprint
Huh
The lower the value the faster the imprint will come, but the less affinity it grants
Oh
look up like a good combination of mature speed/cuddle interval
Ok thank you
np
So it has to be long or i wont get full imprint?
Theres another option you can manually put into game.ini : "BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=insertwhatyouwantittobehere"
which will up the affinity by multiplying it. So set it to like 10 or smth and everything should get 100 percent imprint if the cuddle interval is decent enough
What realm is Lindbjord on ?
Should be in Midgard.
Mk thank u 🙂
Part of the main island in the north.
Is it inadvisable to make a trap for shadowmanes? I lured one into a makeshit pen but now it won't lay down or do much of anything during the day
R u trying to tame one ?
How many times is the next event
Its better to get some dinos and kill everything but the shadowmanes so they stop aggroing, then you can build a pen around it
How do i barrel roll on pc
Thank you
You can also use dimetrodon with high level melee they act as air conditioners i use them all the time
I legitimately never made a single AC until scorched because I always used dimetrodons lol
how
All you have to do is place the egg next to it like you would an ac
Also the melee doesnt have to he high it just affects the range of its ability im pretty sure
o
if I'm done playing a toon on a server....can i export it out somehow and just leave the toon til i want to put it on another server?
Actually the melee directly affects how well the dimetrodon incubates things
ACs are an overpriced ripoff unless you use S+
It has taken me 3 hours to tame a fjord hawk and im at like 30%
other fjordhawks that r lvl 15 keeps stealing
are they hard to find
i spent minutes searching for one in the swamps and found none
any tips?
I've never transferred a survivor before. When I upload my survivor do I have to make a new temp survivor on the map I upload from?
Anyone know why sometimes mantas will attack me, and other times they swim right by me and are completely disinterested?
@river badge no
what do i select when i click play on steam if i want to play good unofficial servers?
do you get levels from smelting metal overnight? i logged on with 19 levels and my friends had no levels when they logged on
Yes, at least on servers anyway.
if official settings then yeah your tribe mates will get passive XP from stuff like that. I think there's a radius though
it was on a nitrado server made by me
.
ah okay then make sure you have the tribe shared xo set, and again I think there's a radius setting
Does Ark have a noclip command for admins?
like, allow building into terrain ?
I think its like ghost or somehting
but i havea problem if anyone can help
im having problems with my ark server on gportal
Can just ask or share your issue
all my multipliers work....except the breeding ones
ive pasted my game ini into the config area and the multipliers work but the breeding changes dont take effect
am i missing something?
Are you checking the breeding changes with a fresh dino each time?
Existing breeding timers will have to finish before new ones take effect.
Dw that ones a very common issue, and easy to fix. Just let your dinos timers run out, and then breed again, and the new changes should fix 🙂
waht about hatching times or other breeding related stuff
Hatching/maturing should work no matter what. Gestational timer may end up staying the same though, you'll likely need to wait for the baby to release in order for that one to take effect.
these stats are what i have for the breeding stuff
MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.000001
MatingSpeedMultiplier=1
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=1000
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=100
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=1
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.0232
BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=2
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=1
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=1
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=1
zoom
eggs are still hatching in the standard times
You got these in your game.ini?
yea thats copied from my game ini
i even just downloaded beacon and did it that way as well
when you told me the hatch speed and maturation would change i tried to hatch an egg and it gave me the vanilla time value for said dino egg
if anyone is willing id be open to hopping in a voice chat
for help
well.......nvm apparently the voice channels are borked 😢
if your using any mods that also set these times they may be conflicting with each other.
the only plausible one would be KBD
I have no experience with that mod but I have heard in the past it affected timers
Since it an overhaul to the system
Again I got not offical evidence, only what I have been told
anyone knows why i cant put cap letters in win10 ark? im trying to join a server with password but its not letting me cuz the 1st letter is a capital
The only issues I know of with Microsoft censors are 1 and 0.
its not lettin me copypaste
like i cant paste it in ark
Ctrl+v
Ah, no idea. Never heard of it personally, then again I'm not on win10.
idk if the ark menu allows it but that's the paste keyboard shortcut
also like... make sure your capslock isn't on or something
You have to hold shift then press the letter
Then fill in the rest
Only need to hold shift for capital letters
It has been this way since 2017
Ive played ark for a while, but this is the first time im going to be playing during Halloween. How does the event work? I get there are ghosts and bone creatures but how do i get them?
ghost are from killing the ghost creatures, bone are the same I believe.
It’s been that way since computers existed lol
What is going on? I keep crashing in the Aberration Red Zone. Any cause?
Got mods? PC specs up to the task? Validate files yet?
Yes, yes, and maybe how do I do it?
Start with validating files. Go to steam, right click Ark, select properties and then validate files. Might take a minute and you’re more than likely gonna show 2 files that are bad. That’s normal. Happens for most everyone.
HI, have tried to find out but every sight is giving different info. Do pillars (just by themselves) stop animals and resources spawning. I know foundations do. I want to block people building in an area with rare spawns, however I want the spawns to all stay so people can come and collect and tame stuff still.
Are these the files that are causing the crash?
No. Like I said, 2 files showing up bad in that is normal it happens to everyone. Just follow your prompts from there.
Then if that’s all done and it continues to happen you’ll have to check your mods. Most people remove all mods and then try to get the crash to happen. If it doesn’t then a mod is causing the crash and you’ll have to determine which one it is.
The weird part is, it just randomly started happening the other day. No changes in the mods. I feel it might be important to mention that I had a mishap with blender right before this started happening that resulted in my entire PC freezing and it having to scan and repair the drive
I also see no option to "Validate Files" in the Ark Properties
Get the game to crash again then copy the first 5-10 lines of the crash report and paste it in unofficial discussions in that case.
I see "Verify Integrety of Game Files" but no "Validate Files"
That’s the one
Im sorry, HOW long did you say this was gonna take?
Validating takes a hot minute.
Sounds about right lol
If I knew this was going to take this long, I would have gotten the crash report first
How do I use the megalania to climb?
did you use ftp?
as someone using KBD: it does not go around willy nilly changing breeding rates
i figured it didnt otehrwsise someone wouldve said something on the discussion page lol
kbd potentially changes the times for a few individual dinos it changes the 'tier' of but those values are just set on the dino like any other vanilla dino and will be affected by these multipliers
take your hazard suit off before it breaks/swap to a higher dura suit before it breaks
but the weird thing is that the other multipliers take effect, but the breeding rates and the incubation/hatching rates rates maturation rates and stuff doesn't change
so im confused
as of right now until i can fix it ill just use the soul terminal from dino storage to help with my breeding
How does hazard suit running out of durability have any connection to my game crashing?
because it causes the crash
May I ask how?
ask the person who made crashy code
Does other multipliers include ones in game.ini, edited in the same manner?
Can you send your ini file?
Honestly nothing looks particularly crashy in the hazard suit stuff itself
But it could be shit buried in C++ for the radiation volumes that does it
My hazard suit has broken before down there and it didnt crash, is it a weird interaction? What is causing it to crash THIS TIME when my hazard suit breaks
Honestly I could never find any consistency. I don't think it was even consistent with whether one peice, or multiple pieces breaking at once caused it?
I used a modded station to increase the durability of my hazard shirt, this is the first time it has broken since I did that. Could that be it?
Nope, i was getting it before i ever got mods
at least the fix- active monitoring- isn't too disruptive from what you need to be doing anyway with a reaper baby. keeps tabs on your dura and make sure it doesn't break
ill look at it rn though, maybe something'll jump out
juuust gotta wait for the kit to load
DMed it to ya
but every other multiplier that doesnt have to do with breeding or hatching works
Looks fine here. Though make sure you're comparing to Game.ini configs specifically- Try changing flyer speed levelling in the same method and see how that goes (just note you'll need to test a vanilla dino, not BD speed one) to see if that takes effect
I'm still tempted to point to it being a server host issue given gportal's history with config edits not working, but i haven't used them enough myself to point out what might be wrong
Would you mind grabbing the crash message for me so i have more info to work with? i have 4 copies of the message here already, but given it's an array OOB it's not exactly.. specific
3 of them are in an array size 8.. one in size 7
Will do tomorrow
There about as rare as a diplocaulas
Always spawn in swamp biome too
hey got a quick question
I might have the answer
i try to go up near the northwaest corner of the map to get a fjordhawk and im hittin what seems to be a boundary wall running east/west or something near 17.6/16.3
what gives?
What realm are you in?
........May have not been in the main realm :/
turned around and saw red ob behind me
That’s probably what gives lol
price i pay for using my awesome teleporter to get up there the lazy way haha 😂
thanks for the help though 👍
does anybody know how to make ark less bloated? it takes up all of my room in my 1tb pc ill only be able to play it for a few months before its too big can anybody help me make it smaller
It should only take up like 400-500gigs
its around like 420 - 430 gigs on a 1tb
with all dlc
thats like half my storage
Dlc is done. It won’t grow anymore. I feel your pain though.
I’ve had to upgrade my storage just I didn’t have to delete something everytime I wanted to transfer. Bought it for the switch as something to play at work yesterday and guess what? Gotta upgrade its storage.
if I bring wyverns to the manticore bossfight, I assume they should all be of the same type right? otherwise they will damage eachother or am i wrong?
This is much more of a technical question, I would greatly appreciate any ideas or an actual fix. For about 1 year now I’ve had issues with downloading ark on steam, it’ll say “disk write error”, “corrupt disk”, or “write error”. I genuinely have no idea what to do. I’ve tried everything on YouTube, etc…
Idk. Sounds like a hard drive issue
yes, but bringing wyverns to the manticore fight is a meh idea
rexes are a better choice
eh I want to do something else than rexes for once
also why is it a meh idea
manticore's faster than the wyverns
how strong is the manticore exactly? I've heard its the easiest boss
but is that true?
it does very little damage in comparison to the others but also has a higher resistance... also keep an eye on your torpor while fighting him
found one
i think I might try direwolves on the manticore, I've heard they can be good for bossfights although they are fragile and it would seem fun to try
thats def possible if we're talking about gamma or beta but if you wanna try alpha you should get a good mutated line of wolves
also if its true that the wyverns are too slow for the manticore fight, its kinda weird the wiki list them as one of the best mounts for the fight
and then they also list the even slower argentavis as a good option
Anyone know what default loot quality is?
I assume you mean the settings slider amount?
if so its 1.0x
Ok thx
so I've been flying back and forth the scorched wyvern trench for a few hours now, but I've noticed that the longer I go the lower level eggs spawn for some reason
is this just bad luck or is this a real thing? I assume its just bad luck
the last 20 eggs I've grabbed were below level 50 :l
Me when im trying to find good level fjordhawks
I find good level of them but then the level 20s come steal everythin
yeah I had that too
you gotta go kill ever single low level one nearby when you find a good one
there's 4 desmodus but i only have 6 moschops
all of them have over 13k hp tho and one has 30k hp
does maewing baby trough work underwater?
sigh
Ive found like 30 wyvern eggs now, all of them low level
and now my one good wyvern just died from some nonsense
Is anyone else having issues joining official servers on Xbox? Like I can join my main server but any other server I get could not retrieve address
So I was using the Simple Spawners mod to make a wyvern "trench" on the island. I put one spawner and a few nests in little canyon by the black sands, and one by the volcano, and now theres wyverns in places i didnt even spawn them
If you could fly would you stay in one spot 🤣🤣
good point
yes
Ok
has anyone ever used gportal and knows how one uses the destroywilddino command? it doesnt work for me
Make sure you have "cheat" before the command.
can you clone reaper queens?
I think so
Not the queens, since they're untameable, but kings yes
well i have reaper queen tamed given by admin
Then no idea. You can always test it yourself.
any creature can be cloned depending on server settings
If you die in a boss with a hawk on will it bring your stuff back to you?
Would mantises be good for the manticore fight? it would seem fun to use them for it
I don't think so. Mantises are pretty weak, I don't think they would fight well against the manticore.
they do do enormous damage though
so idk tbh
I just gotta find a good sword blueprint
Any tips for finding alpha deathworms? I've slain at least 2 dozen normal deathworms and I havent seen a single alpha
The bottom right side of the map is the place I find the most worms. But alphas are rare
its also the fact that deathworms just... despawn extremely often
How do I get megalania to crawl up onto walls?
I use a dino finder mod and every single time I neared an alpha deathworm it instantly despawned as soon as it rendered
Can the desert titan go to gen2?
how do people raid without their names apearing in log
any loot tips for scorched? so far the only option I see is the "" sea "" crates but even that is giving me useless stuff most of the time, I am about to fight the boss at any time and almost all my equipment is primitive and the cave loot is somehow even worse >_>
what is the respawn time of the desert crates? could I maybe just do a loop of all the crates on the map and keep looping and finding more crates on scorched or is the respawn time too long for that?
what is the fastest and most efficient way to get oil?
is there a way to speed up the maturity bar?
Does anyone else have problems with Xbox voice chat in game not working?
sometimes. usually nat issue, assuming your mic isn't muted and your in game voice is turned on
There is a baby maturation setting in the main menu of single player. If you increase it, then the baby will mature faster
Keep in mind that the imprint multiplier doesn’t line up very well with the maturation mult
Do Tapajara randomly lay unfertilized eggs on their own, or do I need a mated pair?
Mic def isn’t muted and works in party chats or in other games game chats but it just doesn’t do anything in Ark :/
How do you turn on in game voice? I don’t see an option for it in the start menu just sliders for volumes that are up
eh like while in game hit start go to options and it's like "voice chat" or something. not in front of it right now
you on official server ?
Yep
Yep. I’m on official.
hmm must of been thinking of the server side setting. yeah as long as the slider is up should work. it's proximity chat. idk how far you are
I was close enough to hear them talking to me
what's your nat type
Open
Thank you. Yea, there’s like nothing online about it. So confused haha
All reptiles/birds in ark lay unfertilized eggs from time to time. The mate boost increases the chance of this happening, along with an oviraptor
@hasty wolf Ok. Does just having an oviraptor increase the chances, or is it only a mate and oviraptor?
Hi, I enabled Fear Evolved on my unofficial server, and I'm wondering if i need to change maps we are on Lost Island...?>
@sturdy narwhal forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the event hasn't started yet.
I'm using the GTX and saw an option to set any event... I just don't know if "Lost Island" is compatible... my friend has saw some funky colors on dinos...
@sturdy narwhal Oh, I'm not sure on that...
And gives assertion failed insizex error
verify files
Did twice doing it again its at 16% rn
Does having oviraptors around increase the chance of a non-mated female to lay eggs, or does it have to have a mate to get the bonus from the oviraptor?
Ig it needs a mate for boost
That's for both fertilized and unfertilized, not just fertilized?
far as I know an oviraptor only applies a random cooldown boost to the breeding cooldown timer after a dino breeds, randomly
It also causes Dino's to drop more unfertile eggs for kibble making. An old kibble farm trick before the system changed
fair.
Yo I need help can I upload and download Dino’s and items from other LDL servers?
Nowadays u can jus buy level 3 crates on gen 2 n get kibble
Only Problem is points
any tips for starting on scorched? (pvp)
like where to spawn, what dinos are available etc.
no
it's 1% chance on unstasis without mateboost, so effectively yes you need the boost
HELP ME
What with?
emotionally?
Is this facts bc me and my buddies are really wondering b4 we start it
verify files
I did that 3 times.
item/dinos can't be downloaded period on ldl servers.
what's the actual error.
cause if it says "ark failed insizex" you have bigger problems than ark
I cant even send screenshot here
does it mention battleye ?
I am sorry i couldnt reply you my mom made me do all the chores 😭
Let me see rq
It says (on the top like where every app has its name) the ue4 shootergame game has crashed and will close
ty : D
make sure you have the maps downloaded your trying to play on
Hello
I noticed that i can t craft anything in the Replicator right now. I can start it and have access to its inventory but i can t craft anything cause the engrams aren t shown up for me. I tested it with both my accounts, and both accounts have all TEK engram unlooked and are on two different Steam Accounts (and yea, i bought the game twice with all DLC's), is this a global issue or is it just me?
(Problem happend on Official PvE GenTwo1005)
I transferred to my other server, i just noticed that i can use the Reply there, i ll try to fix it by picking it up with an exo. But if that dosn t work, dose anyone has an idea why this happend and how i can fix it?
hello still there isnt any way to fix the fatal crashes ?
Me and my friend are playing on a non dedicated server but he keeps getting lost because he can't see my name like how I can see his because he is host is there a setting or mod that shows name tags no matter the distance ?
No. There’s nothing that will allow him to see you as well in vanilla. There might be a mod but I don’t know of one.
official server or private
depends on the crash error
are poison wyverns useful in pve? so far I've only been using fire and lightning
Dm the crash message pls
eh I can't really think of a situation where you'd use a poison wyvern where fire or lightning wouldn't preform better
bois, if i wanna go swamp cave, do i need to have two pieces of scuba or can i do oxygen tank with rest ghillie
for the gas? either oxygen tank or a haz mat mask. rest is fairly optional
fair
I don't suppose anyone knows of any mods out there that allows use of a scope and tranqs in a longneck?
You can snipe titanos really, really slowly
So not really
oxygen tank is not enough, you need the full set
even the flippers for some reason
can't remember if there's radiation there, and I guess depends on what swamp cave. radiation would probably need the full set though yeah depending on the quality
I've gone into the swamp cave on fjordor with just a hazmat mask before and my buddy had a scuba tank
can you help me if i send the crash error ?
I can certainly try
Fatal error!
VERSION: 350.4
UnknownModule!UnknownFunction (0x0000000000000000) + 0 bytes [UnknownFile:0]
It was on official, as i was about to replace the Replicator with my exo Mek, i noticed that i had after emptying the Replicator from all resources **-**345 out of 600 slots. So something was completely broken. Picking Up with the Exo Mek and immidetly placing it back didn t work, but after i stored the Replycator in the Mek's inventory and replaced it then, it workt again like a normal Replicator.
eh more than that would be better. like the top 5ines should get the jist of it
this was all of the error tho
ah okay good deal. yeah I'm glad because official it's like... turn it off and on again?
did you verify files on steam ?
that's not a typical error. try uninstalling all your mods if your using them
maybe fully remove the directory. all I can tell you is probably what you can already tell by the error
it loaded a module to the game it doesn't recognize and it didn't like it
did you actually uninstall the mods or did you just remove them from the directory
we did
hmmm then all I got is fully delete your directory mods maps game and all and start fresh
nothing also we dont want all of our things getting removed and once we did nothing still crash
still nothing
then throw your PC into the bin because it's broken
i tried it but after getting out of the save
: \
bruh it worked fine
and its not my fault
the game wants to just make us mad
idk, you said you've already done all the things I know of to do and said they didn't work.
perhaps someone else will have another idea
honestly with such a vague and frankly unhelpful error, and even the nuclear option of 'reinstall literally everything' not working, there's not a lot of options
and i cant get in again
Resubbing to a mod does not remove all of its files
i siad
They full reinstalled though
said we unisntalled it
And it crashes with no mods
the ark
I guess there's maybe the workshop download folder they could have missed? but if it crashes with no mods then idk
every thing worked fine 1 day before i
But yeah this is important to note regardless, that resubbing is not a mod reinstall
t
when you resub to it the mod uninstalls and when you added it again it dawnloads again
and my friend said he uninstalled them
my friend did uninstalled the game as well
and redawnloaded
still didnt work
unknown file unknown module seems to infer there is some... file.... it's loading that it doesn't recognize. which would point to either a bad load routine, or a... maybe a blank file or corrupted one.
either way there's something there it doset like. that's all I got
this error happened before and got fixed like after 1 day that i didnt played
now it dosent work after 3 days
Not how it works. Steam will remove its copy of the mod, but ark has another that won't get removed.
he did uninstalled the game and mods
this mod is ID 2875111054
as i already said
the game worked fine with mods
but after 1 day it just is messing with us
Yes, you said it worked without mods, but we're correcting this
ok
Mods aren't the issue here I don't think
your game hasn't worked for 3 days. that mod was updated 3 days ago. but if eclipse says it's probably not a mod it probably isn't
i removed the mods that updated and it didnt works so its the game
@stiff topaz @polar sandal i just deleted the game
||and reinstalling||
Good luck, look forward to hearing an update in 50 years 👍
rofl
I talked to a guy before that in like 5m he said okay I reinstalled didn't work.
I was like... are you sure you reinstalled ?
can someone help me, i am trying to host a server and it all works but i wanted to enable flyer movement leveling. for that you need to type bAllowFlyerSpeedLeveling=true but if i add this to the game.ini it just gets deleted when i boot
ive tried googling but couldnt find anything
i am using ASM if that is a problem
eh we had a guy with a similar thing yesterday. I sound like the anti mod guy today but it turned out to be one of his mods that was overwriting the settings in the ini
oh weird
if you are using a mod that edits dino stats, or leveling, or like... something you can think of that would also effect that go in through that mod and set it there
i have one mod enabled for that but if i want to disable it my asm crashes
Yeah well i can download it at 10mbps speed dont worry you wont have to wait for 50 years
