bobs-with-probs

[visual ether]

we all hate it

[dusky hedge]

i really hope that with ark 2 they will optimise the game and allow for all platform crossplay

[visual ether]

see my icon is steam 😉

[dusky hedge]

i have the steam version aswell

but my friend plays on xbox :/

[visual ether]

sometimes you can get on steam for free or legit low price.. stay tuned

[dusky hedge]

i know, but he doesnt have a good pc

[visual ether]

i can relate , i been playing switch version lately lol

[dusky hedge]

and seen as ark in general isnt optimised at all any version of ark is very heavy on a pc

[visual ether]

potato pc can run it now

[dusky hedge]

to begin with, ark shouldnt take up a total of 220~ gb

[visual ether]

game is 7 years old

if your pc that old you have probs

it takes as much space for all the glory of ark

[dusky hedge]

but still, the space isnt the worst thing

[visual ether]

any modern pc plays ark just fine

update potato pc

[dusky hedge]

i remember my friends and i used to play pvp official together, we were getting a ton of tek stuff ready and such to actualy start making a base.... so we kept putting stuff in ark data so we didnt lose it cause putting stuff in a vault anywhere is just gonna get looted within a day or so

[visual ether]

life of living out of the obi.. i remember those days well

poof if over 24 hours tho

[dusky hedge]

then ark was like, hey we have a problem.... then they shut down ark data for 2-3 days... we lost everything got insanely annoyed at wildcard

and instead of increasing the timer for items in obelisk or rolling obelisks back... they decided, lets do a 2x weekend to make up for it

[visual ether]

yep they do thier best to break shit all the time lol

fix one thing break another... its. the. way.

[dusky hedge]

a 2x isnt gonna do much if u dont have any tames or anything to get stuff back

[visual ether]

2x is fine.

3x is insane lol

events are insane

[dusky hedge]

well we were already playing on small tribes so it was like a 3.5x multiplier total or so?

[visual ether]

old days they never got a multiplier, do the get one now?

havnt pvp'd in years

if you want to get into the story - pve is best

[dusky hedge]

i think so

it used to be a base multiplier of 3x then they changed it to 2.5x and a 2x mult on small tribes is usualy i think 3.5x and now 3x iirc

[visual ether]

ya i think smalls gets a x2 now so it gets up to like x5 lol ridiculous but its meant to be faster-paced

having the #server-rates channel is nice

[vapid scaffold]

Anyone have a good singleplayer stat build for the island

[red olive]

For pve? Basically weight and hp. Early on a bit of stam and movement speed helps, but that becomes pointless later on. You can always make a mind wipe and reset stats

[vapid scaffold]

Alr thanks I also didnt know mindwipe reset stats i thought it was just engrams lol

before I had been pumping to to 300

1 point fortitude?

ohh k ill try that thanks

[gray ferry]

Anyone know how I can stop my map progress resetting to 0% ? [Only seems to happen on Extinction & Genesis 1 maps]

[raw frigate]

can someone help me? I set my imprint intervall at 0.1 and my babies only get 0% if I imprint on them. They mature at 6.0

Thats so annoying I am trying to find a solution since 2 h.

[jovial tulip]

Anyone know how to make supplydrops, drop more items inside of them not better items just like more item instead of 2-3 in one drop

[fringe rover]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier in game.ini - adjust it to at least 2 or 3, if you want 100% imprint on the first go then set it to 100000

[raw frigate]

Should I add it or is it in there?

Like, should I add it like OverrideOfficialDifficulty

[fringe rover]

If it isn’t there already, then add it

[raw frigate]

Ok

[dusky hedge]

so is there really no way to permanently unlock all engrams for all players?

can u get mods on w10/xbox?

well not specificly

the giveengrams command is temporary and gets undone when you rejoin the server

and atm my friend and i are practicly level 115 but we want to be able to unlock engrams from other maps, however atm i dont know how to setup a server cluster on w10 nor do i have the ram for it atm

[hazy reef]

so im playing on my modded ark with the following mods pokemon, primal fear and DinoOverhaul X (DOX) but why are there too many vanilla dinos spawning?

[topaz finch]

Have the Christmas gachas despawned?

[wraith latch]

nope

not for me anyway

in playing windows ark right now

[plain stag]

They shouldn't have, the event has not ended.

[wraith latch]

also

[plain stag]

Answered in #general.

[wraith latch]

hey i have a question

so

see the console variables on steam ark

[plain stag]

You can just ask, you don't have to ask to ask. This whole channel is for help.

[topaz finch]

Is there a way to spawn them into a single player game? They're all gone

[wraith latch]

can i transfer and copy that file and paste it into the windows ark files?

because i cant seem to actually find the single file holding the actual ini, i can only see the ones with in game settings such as FOV

[plain stag]

Exit to main menu, go to host/local, advanced, scroll down, set ActiveEvent=WinterWonderland
If that is already active, go back ingame, and do the destroywilddinos command

[plain stag]

I'm not at my PC atm, but possibly. Are you going to the correct spot?

[wraith latch]

I think so, I followed the message and it brought me to the UWP files

[plain stag]

I'm really not sure as they are technically different versions, some stuff on steam may not be available on win10.

[wraith latch]

alright thank you anyway

[topaz finch]

Winter wonderland wasn't activated in events!

[plain stag]

Someone here will probably know, if you want to repost your question

[plain stag]

It wasn't active?

[topaz finch]

It was blank

So I manually typed it in

[plain stag]

Should work now then

[topaz finch]

I'm loading back into the game

[plain stag]

Do a dino wipe when you join your sp

[wraith latch]

I have a question about the windows ark INI for anyone to answer; see the console variables on steam ark; can I transfer, copy, and paste that file into the windows ark files? Because I can't seem to find the single file holding the actual ini, I can only see the ones with in-game settings such as FOV

[topaz finch]

The destroy wild dinos and now I have gachas! Thank you@

Also, do higher level gachas produce better rewards?

[plain stag]

For gacha clause it does not seem to matter.

[topaz finch]

Ok thanks again for the help 🙂

[plain stag]

They are all wild, not tameable

[wraith latch]

im not sure, i am on the UWP file as it says

but theres no file showing the ini

[gaunt goblet]

probably the wrong spot, but is there anyone who'd be willing to help me sort out some technical issues? i'm trying to set up a server for some friends and it is going exceedingly poorly.

plz ping/dm if anyone's willing

[open ice]

Question: If I am taming a Gacha and I dont care about extra levels on tame (Its already a high level and I dont think levels influence their production), what should use to feed it to tame it. And what happens if its Taming Effectiveness hits 0%?

And what does that do?

Ah I see. And what happens if during taming, its taming effectiveness hits 0%?

Wdym? Taming Effectiveness is the one that when its higher, it gives more bonus levels on a tame.

Resource Production

[fringe rover]

Nothing happens, it just means you won’t get extra levels

[fringe rover]

Increases the amount of resources/quality of loot you get

[unique loom]

How can I play survival of the fittest in ps4??

[open ice]

Idk, arent the resources it generates randomly selected? If I got what I wanted, I would go for Metal and Obsidian and Crystal

[fringe rover]

Wait until it releases, which is early next year

[unique loom]

So i cant??

[fringe rover]

I mean, yeah
Can’t play a game that doesn’t exist

[open ice]

That I know. Thank you

[long marten]

im playing primal fear but i cant make a save it just goes to a black screen or crashes any1 know a fix?

[coarse nebula]

Is there a max level for breeding?

[wraith latch]

yeah or xbox app

[coarse nebula]

Is there a max breeding level?

[wraith latch]

i got 1368 hours

across both xbox and steam

[coarse nebula]

Alright, thank you

Do you think an army of 126 rexes is good for broodmother?

Accompanied by a yuty, two daeadons and 100 rockets

That wasn't my question

Alright, thank you

I have 8k bred lmao

[maiden coral]

what is capped tek saddles? for official

[long marten]

im playing primal fear but i cant make a save it just goes to a black screen or crashes any1 know a fix?

Just get stuck at primalgamedata_bp

[polar sandal]

sometimes a out dated video driver can lead to black screens.

[kindred void]

What’s the fastest after 105 levelling method?

Oh damn I just realised my tribe needs ascension then we can get 155

Idk if 637 hours is a flex

That’s less than like 70% of players that actually play the game

Some people have 30x that

[dusky hedge]

if i level a argy before mating it will that affect the egg? or will only the base level affect the egg?

[kindred void]

Nope

It’s base stats are the only influence of they’re breeder dinos don’t level them unless you got their stats written down

[unique loom]

How can I play SOF in ps4??

[kindred void]

You literally asked and got an answer

[polar sandal]

we can't yet (consoles)

hah

[bright mulch]

Its not out yet for playstation

[dusky hedge]

also, whats gestoration monitoring on the egg incubator?

[kindred void]

If a Dino rather than laying an egg gestates then you can walk up to the mother and look at the stats

[dusky hedge]

a what now

[kindred void]

Ie a rhino, it gives birth like a human rather than via an egg

[dusky hedge]

ah same like a kangroo right

[kindred void]

Yes

[dusky hedge]

also u sure about this?

[kindred void]

Yep

100% only thing that affects the stats is mutations

[dusky hedge]

yeah but having it a higher level would result in a higher level baby right?

[kindred void]

Only if it was tamed at a higher level

Or raised as such

[dusky hedge]

cause i have a max level argy wich is level 151 at max.... it was tamed very low yet it produced a lvl 71 egg

[kindred void]

Each level a Dino has is a single point which randomly goes into a stat, added levels add different amounts to just wild/tame levels which are the ones that affect the breeding

[kindred void]

What was the other parent?

[charred vale]

Baby only inherited the base levels not post levels

[dusky hedge]

a level 50 ish

btw are triplets rare?

[kindred void]

Sometimes when you breed stuff together you get slightly higher levelled stuff like I bred a 224 maewinf with a 217 and it gave a 238 with no mutations

Somewhat rare idk the chances

[tropic meteor]

Like 2% chance I believe

[dusky hedge]

1 more thing, whats the best way to create a auto tek parasaur farm

[kindred void]

Twins are kinda common

[tropic meteor]

twins is something like 10% chance

[kindred void]

Well you could just get 1 male and a bunch of females and float them so they drop the eggs and auto hatch then you can use a Dino or chainsaw with mind-wiped to melee

Best way to get electronics like that is to clone enforcers or just go to Crystal isles and get pearls there with an angler

Tbh multiple fabricators isn’t that bad

[dusky hedge]

yeah but i cant do that as idk how to setup a cluster server on xbox/w10 version of ark

[kindred void]

Ah ok

[dusky hedge]

whats a good dino for it?

[kindred void]

What map are you on

[kindred void]

I believe theri but I think the wiki says

[dusky hedge]

the island, but i've given myself all the engrams so that i can still craft all the items that are usefull

[kindred void]

North west snow just near where the river comes out is decent + some of the Pearl caves have a decent amount outside

[dusky hedge]

ah alright,
btw over on the steam version.... are people toxic about glider suits over there? xd

[kindred void]

I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen anyone use a glider suit

Must have been about 2 years or so

Fed suits are more useful now

[dusky hedge]

cause over on xbox/w10 servers people are hella toxic about it
since xbox players can just open their inventory to cancel fall damage

[kindred void]

Oh I play majority win10 servers, like 70% of people play on pc

Not many people play on old gen xbox anymore

The one actual problem is the cheating

Like 30% of the player base cheats at least in some capacity

[open ice]

Then what’s an ideal resource for a Gacha?

[kindred void]

Ele dust

But it’s like a 1% chance

[dusky hedge]

is there any way to make a auto CP farm without using gacha's?

[kindred void]

Achatinas

Actually I can’t remember they might drop it on the floor if mts is different because last time I checked they make it in their inventory but idk

Also beaver dams or get a megatherium and run the swamp cave

[dusky hedge]

i think they poop it out on the floor, hence why u need gacha's to pick it up

[kindred void]

Yeah maybe

[dusky hedge]

surely it despawns after a bit right

[kindred void]

Yeah

Mts must be different because it just accumulates in their inventory on there

Btw there are quite a lot of dams on the island

[dusky hedge]

whats mts?

[kindred void]

It’s a PVP server

[dusky hedge]

on the wiki it says it generates up to 100 into its own inventory then caps out

[kindred void]

Oh yeah

[dusky hedge]

can u breed achatinas?

[kindred void]

No

[dusky hedge]

fr? ._.

[kindred void]

Yeah there are some things you can’t breed

[tropic meteor]

Yes you can

[kindred void]

Oh my bad

[dusky hedge]

oh thats atleast decent

doubt u can tame a gachaclaus so theres no way to get a gacha on the island

[tropic meteor]

they enabled breeding on it in October 2021

[kindred void]

Oh that’s why

I’ve not used them since before then

Either that or my tribe just didn’t notice

[dusky hedge]

can u breed gacha's? cause if so im probs gonna ask my friend if we can spawn in like 2 low level gachas and just breed em if needed

[tropic meteor]

yeah

[dusky hedge]

also is there any good spots on getting a achatina on the island? or is it just mainly just outside the redwood below it?

[tropic meteor]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_Map/The_Island?creature=Achatina

[floral pulsar]

hey so i did what the pinned comment said to change max difficulty but it didnt work, the line of text go right under server settings right?

cancel that im an idiot i forgot the O in override

[tropic meteor]

[plain stag]

That would do it lmao glad you got it

[shell yoke]

does anyone else dsync super bad when getting soaked?

[raven flower]

non dedicated session genesis 2 my friend cant move upon spawning in

need help asap he literally cant move at all

[nimble elk]

my therizinosaurus that i was trying to ko just disappeared while shooting it with a slingshot

anyone else has the same problem or is this supposed to happen

[wanton quiver]

Can anyone tell me about the stat point on the egg incubator Like if the breeder have 250% melee and the point was 230 what is that mean?

[wraith latch]

anyone able to help with the windows INI?

[pure sapphire]

Whenever i play the island, even after the island reset button, i still get lvl 24 and have all the lvl points go to health

how do i fix?

[novel snow]

So i keep getting the disconnection error
Battleye query timeout
But it only happens for 1 server and on 1 map
So how do i fix it cause ive gone through most if not all options now

[sullen hatch]

kill your character, then click on "make new character" during the death screen

[craggy ravine]

Are there still exploits people can use to steal in tribes like with C4 or other tricks? Or am I safe to recruit anyone as long as I have the right permissions set? I need to know for sure.

Only asking so I have no fear recruiting.

[dapper glen]

I see that dinos have a costume slot, do all dinos have costumes if so how do i get them?

[turbid zephyr]

Is there a way to go back up the easiest zone in aberration? I totally didn’t fall down while standing in the edge

[dusky hedge]

Pretty sure u cant tame the cave ones

[plain stag]

I think almost all dinos have slots, but not every dino has a costume available for it.
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Skins

[plain stag]

Should be trails, just depends where you are. Try finding waterfalls and go up.

[plain stag]

Along the swamp edges between the redwoods, and in the redwoods.

[desert scroll]

how to kite a titan

[desert scroll]

titanosaur

its right next to my base

lead it away

cant dinos too weak

pvp

i doubt people wanna tame it or kill it

[plain stag]

You can put all your gear up, put sleeping bags down, punch it and respawn until you lead it away.

[desert scroll]

smort

infinite deaths

[rotund rock]

Hey guys I keep trying to load back into my server but it keeps saying there is already a player with this account connected or connection timeout

[dapper glen]

can you live in the realms of fjordur? like build a base and stuff?

[plain stag]

Wait 5-10 minutes for the server to realize you've left the game, then retry.

[plain stag]

Definitely! Asgard villages are a win.

[dapper glen]

lets go I love asgards scenery

[plain stag]

Just be aware that on official you can't fly in them

[placid cedar]

Not an exploit, but yes tribe members can use c4 and other explosives to steal from storage locked with permissions

[charred vale]

Vanaheim looks great too reminded me of pandora in avatar

[placid cedar]

Shop from HLNA on genesis have them, and not all dinos have costumes

[little basin]

How come i cannot spawn in a 566 dino? Everytime i try it goes from 565 to 567

[echo escarp]

how many days does small tribe servers go to before wipe?

[molten falcon]

Is the Ark Steam store page broken or is it just my 2 friends and I? All other pages load, just not Ark's. Can't buy it for a friend 😭

[rotund rock]

hey guys how do I check whos in my server on pc (New to this whole pc ark thing)

[polar sandal]

showmyadminmanager

[dapper glen]

how do I make prime meat stack on a nitrado server?

[plain stag]

Expert settings, then see pins here for Stack Ini

[tepid hearth]

Are prim picks better than crafted for ele veins?

[hallow timber]

When is the next ark update? For ps4 ark

[restive aspen]

never

[velvet basin]

I have been waiting for the past 20 minutes or so for my rockarrots to grow, but they won’t. They have water and fertilizer, but they are staying at the seedling stage. Is it because i’m watching over them? Or do I just need to adjust my settings?

[royal jacinth]

if you're playing single player just adjust ur settings, makes life easier

[velvet basin]

Alright! Thank you sm!

[severe sonnet]

Is there a way to make the text on a wall sign a different colour and/or larger font? I know know we can paint the signs but the font is so smol and my eyes are old

[ashen lynx]

I believe you can change the color but im not sure about the font

[severe sonnet]

Any idea where that setting is or how to?

[severe sonnet]

@ashen lynx

[ashen lynx]

Lemme look into it

I may be wrong

Nah im sorry man i dont think you can

[severe sonnet]

poopie

guess i'll start squinting

Thanks for checkin

[polar sandal]

seems there's a mod for this. also apparently some html works

[short raven]

I am trying to block of a cave enterance using a behemoth gate but it is too short to reach the top. How can i solve this?

[rotund rock]

How do Gacha Claus work?

[plain stag]

Wait for nighttime and collect gifts from RaptorClaus (https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Raptor_Claus), and then use the mistletoe and coal from those presents for GachaClaus (https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/GachaClaus). Just open their inventory (while wild only), and pop the coal and mistletoe in, and they will drop crystals.

[rotund rock]

ok thank you 🙂

[plain stag]

Np

[coarse gazelle]

i cant load in to a server, it just stays at "attempting to join server"

[dapper glen]

my gacha isnt producing crystals even though it has a full feeding through and owl pellets

I got one that produces element dust but it isnt dropping the crystal things

[molten falcon]

Gachas use both pellets and the items from their inventory rather than troughs. You need to manually transfer or drop the items and let them slowly pick them up.

Then they will have an eating animation and consume the pellets and items accordingly, and depending on if the crystals are ready.

[dapper glen]

can I put food in their inventory or do I need to just drop it and let them pick it up

[molten falcon]

Better to manually place it in their inventory. They can also consume items other than food. I like using stone as it's easy to gather

[dapper glen]

I was about to ask, So A bunch of stone and Im good?

[molten falcon]

be careful though, because they'll consume most everything you give them, so full crypods will get eaten too ^^

[dapper glen]

I didnt have food in his inventory thought the trough would work

[molten falcon]

Yeah, give them a bunch of pellets then fill their inventory with stone.

they have stone weight reduction too IIRC

[dapper glen]

I have owls perched above him so they poop and he picks it up

will to many pellets hurt

[molten falcon]

Yup that works. As long as he can pick them then you're good with pellets

just keep an eye on the gacha, they will pick up until their inventory is completely full...

[dusky hedge]

my ark has been crashing quite often last 2 days or so, and occasionaly it gets stuck on ''primalgamedata_bp'' when loading

[scarlet owl]

So, why do none of the prim+ servers have dino's? Was just on the center, island, and rag and can't even find a dodo

[molten falcon]

is there a command to take all the things from a tribe cuz friend that is the owner doesnt want to log on and i cant do anything beside just playing and i dont want to leave and pack everything

i think i found it

[severe sonnet]

I replied to you in #building-discussions and sent a screenshot of what I did in #building-screenshots

[dapper glen]

is there a better and faster way to get element dust? I currently have a Gacha that produces Element dust.

[severe sonnet]

Killing Tek creatures gives really good element dust and electronics

[dapper glen]

what tool would yield the most dust?

or dino

[severe sonnet]

I've not tested that, I've always just gone hunting on dinos. The wiki doesn't specify tools vs dinos harvesting rate

So it's likely the same rate if you use tools/dino. Tek creatures don't drop meat/pelt/hide like the rest. You get element dust, oil, electronics and scrap metal instead

Also - there are element nodes/veins if you're playing on extinction map. and also also, having a gacha that gives you element dust is super cool and rare (: breed thattttt

[dapper glen]

Im currently breeding it im having no luck of an offspring producing dust lol

[severe sonnet]

lmk (: I'd like to trade/buy one from ya if you ever get it

[dapper glen]

if you dont care about stats sure, im on a private server would you be able to come get it if I got one?

[topaz finch]

If you ever get the chance to admkn command a force tame on an alpha level 120 rex with 28 points into speed. Do. It. It's so much fun to rip around on a turbocharged rex 😆 🤣

[plain stag]

You would only be able to download/upload within that cluster or if they have clustering turned off for uploading/downloading to SP. They would not be able to get it at all if they're on official @dapper glen

[severe sonnet]

Thank you so much. I'm not playing on official - we took it to DM to figure it out down the line.

[molten falcon]

I step in volcanic stream whit my dino and i get out instantly but he kept taking damge unthi he die....i play on ps5 official pvp

[topaz finch]

Yeah... its lava. Get your dino out

[coarse nebula]

Why isn't my console opening up? It just suddenly doesn't appear anymore. I even changed key binds

What? Yes I did, I doubt it's that I know what i'm tapping

What's my keybind changing have to do with it? I began doing it before the keybind change

[idle smelt]

Does anyone know how to fix connection timeout when inviting friends to host non dedicated on steam?

[coarse nebula]

Restart Ark, them first. if it doesn't work then it's your turn

Keep restarting till it works

I'm just gonna restart my Ark cause there's no reason it should be my keybinds

It is, I've had it on apostrophe for the longest time and it worked

And now suddenly it just stopped

[idle smelt]

Thanks

[heady shoal]

How do you activate total conversion on Xbox I keep getting it while trying to join primitive+ servers

[valid flame]

I’m trying to join a official Gen one server where my lvl 111 character is at and it won’t let me join but I can join any other server what do I do

[dusky hedge]

what do i do about brontos on herbivore island?

[bright mulch]

kill them

[dusky hedge]

yeah but they keep knocking all my animals away

can gacha's produce cp?

[topaz lark]

No, but achatinas can

[lyric steeple]

My game keeps crashing and I dont know why, It wont let me load up my worlds more than once. I had this problem before and it fixed itself but now its back. I would post a picture of the crash report but I cant in this channel. Help? I really started to bond with my tames

[spring anvil]

so I got a problem with Ark on the switch. I picked it up for when I'm on the go and can't take my PC with me. However whenever I play singleplayer all my settings reset to default but the world stays saved as it was left otherwise. Its incredibly annoying to have to manually set stats each time I want to jump back in. Anyone know why this happens or how to fix it?

[native osprey]

@spring anvil

ARK: Survival Evolved Switch:

The ARK Switch official Discord can be found here: https://discord.gg/Q5E9F3bVfC

ARK Switch players will always be welcome in this discord too!

[plain stag]

It's supposed to be fixed in the next patch according to their discord, though I do not know when that will be.

[dusky hedge]

probs in like 5 months

[plain stag]

They've been fixing things pretty fast over there, hopefully not that long.

[dusky hedge]

fr?

[uncut kite]

not directly
if you want to farm cp tame a bunch of snails
set them on wander
and have gachas around them
they will pick up the cp achatinas drop
and you have a very nice passive farm

[gray hare]

I need help with something, i’m a Returning player coming back after not playing ark since scorched earth I’m looking for some advice. Is it worth me getting the Genesis season pass or the Ark Explorers season pass?

[dusky hedge]

why are roofs so annoying to place?

[plain stag]

Depends on what you want to play. Season Pass 1 gives you Scorched, Aberration, and Extinction. Genesis Pass gives you Genesis 1 and 2.

[plain stag]

Can use #building-discussions and #building-screenshots for build help

[gray hare]

I’m looking to get into a PVP server possibly unofficial

But also I’m just worried if I get the Genesis season pass right now I’m just worried if it’ll only last till the end of this year which is New Year’s Day is coming up

[plain stag]

The passes are a permanent one time purchase, so dw about losing them.

[gray hare]

Ohh okay

[plain stag]

Pvp specific stuff may be better in #pvp-discussion though, such as maps/locations, etc

[gray hare]

Okay well I appreciate the help Merry thank you

[plain stag]

Welcome

[polar herald]

my friend is on playstation and im on xbox and we’ve tried our best for me to join his server

i’m not sure what the problem is

[lyric steeple]

My game keeps crashing and I dont know why, It wont let me load up my worlds more than once. I had this problem before and it fixed itself but now its back. I would post a picture of the crash report but I cant in this channel. Help? I really started to bond with my tames

[plain stag]

PS and Microsoft cannot crossplay on ark (not including the TSOTF game mode for consoles and steam, which will be availableon consoles soon)

[polar herald]

aw man 😦

[dusky hedge]

does the leash from extinction hold unclaimed baby dinos in place?

[plain stag]

Ive been trying to tame a Stryder for 40 minutes because I just restarted playing after half a year and I didn’t expect the timer glitch to still be an issue, is there a workaround for it?

[lyric steeple]

My game keeps crashing and I dont know why, It wont let me load up my worlds more than once. I had this problem before and it fixed itself but now its back. I would post a picture of the crash report but I cant in this channel. Help? I really started to bond with my tames

[charred vale]

you can copy paste the crash log from local ark folder

[lyric steeple]

I’m not sure how to do it, I can’t put images in this chat

you'll need to figure out how to paste the log here to get any help. the error will help point people in the right direction rather than searching around in the dark

anyone know the easiest way and equipment needed to enter the blue zone?

Is it possible to get the character data from a Xbox dedicated server, to then pass onto a Nitrado pc server.

We understand that we can’t directly add our characters, but want to know if there is any work around to get them back or even some of the stuff we had .

We started a dedicated server on the Xbox and now have made a Nitrado server; this is a question I have asked before, but instead of wanting to transfer I want to know if it’s possible to just upload the character data

[dull pier]

I haven’t played ark in a long time since like extinction came out I want to make a non dedicated solo should I do lost island or fjorder I want new or different Dino’s

[plain stag]

Fjordur has the most dlc content, Lost Island just adds 4 new dinos that you could spawn in and tame instead.

[dull pier]

Does it have drakes

Some cave building is disabled on official. The house symbol just means that you're under shelter.

Im trying to play of Fjordur, so I dont know why its all about the Lost Island

[plain stag]

Lost Island is just the build name, doesn't usually have anything to do with the map.

[lyric steeple]

ah

[little aspen]

ye but its been like every cave like i cant find one do u know any cave ?

[plain stag]

Have you tried verifying files? I know you can on steam/epic, I dont know about win10.

[plain stag]

A lot of caves on PVE are not buildable, it depends on map

[little aspen]

am in PVP Official lost island

One in the small island on top left I can normally building

[lyric steeple]

Ill try thay

[jade plinth]

And a few other caves

[lyric steeple]

It says all 191 files are validated

Okay, calling in reinforcements then @stiff topaz if you're able to help when you get a chance

[polar sandal]

this for single player or any mode

[lyric steeple]

I only play single player

[junior prism]

Can you get banned for playing with ini on official pvp??

I want it just for fps boost

[polar sandal]

heh no, because changing your ini won't have any effect on official

you can launch the game with startup parameters to change some graphical settings

[polar sandal]

might be a corrupt save file. you may be able to check this by loading into a different map. eclipse would have a better idea though so may be best to wait for them

[stiff topaz]

Nothing you can do but avoid using dino slots, and use the command Saveworld after downloading every individual dino if you NEED to

[scarlet loom]

does anyone know a good mount for under water caves on the island

[junior prism]

But it actually does for me

Lol

[polar sandal]

uhhh.

I mean fr game looks different and fps are better

Idk

[tepid meteor]

House symbol means 6 x damage

Barry on ox

It’s also good for regular caving but I use thyla for ground caving

I also believe that was the issue. I believe I have fixed the problem. I restarted steam and by getting rid of what could have corrupted my saves.

hey im trying to play ark ab but the dinos are all like lv 8 and stuff like that,how do i make it so they will only be multiples of 5 and max lvl 150?
(im on pc btw)

[tropic meteor]

Check pins

[plain fractal]

just had a look can you please be more specific (sorry if i did something wrong)

[tropic meteor]

@plain fractal

[plain fractal]

thanks sorry didnt see that

[tropic meteor]

np

[plain fractal]

just to clarify changing the max in the ini thing will also make them all multiples of 5 right?

[tropic meteor]

correct

[jade smelt]

Why'd they switch from 'Bob' to 'Human'? Is it cause they added a female model?

I know this is a question from long ago but still

[radiant falcon]

so im trying to clean stack mutations on the male side and by doing that i keep replacing the dad with the new male but for some reason i got 1 mutation of the female side does this effect anything or no if so how do i fix it

[plain stag]

Female model was in the game already. It was Jane. Human was just easier most likely.

[jade smelt]

Ok, thank you that helps

[jade smelt]

when'd the mutation appear? Was it there on the first set of offspring from your perfect pair? (assuming thats your method)

[plain stag]

Just breed the female to a clean male until the desired traits are on a new male.

[jade smelt]

true

[radiant falcon]

i had my 2 wild one bred them then got my 2 perfect pair bred thos got my first mut then replaced the dad and bred it again and now i have my second but and its on the female side

[plain stag]

Doesn't really matter when the mutation appeared, just move it to a new male.

[jade smelt]

Your perfect pair was the same level with the same stats right?

[radiant falcon]

yes

[jade smelt]

just do what merry bee is saying, they're right.

[radiant falcon]

so instead of using a clean female use a clean male

[plain stag]

It's easier to keep track of if you keep a clean male with the best stats off to the side, on the off chance that it passes to a female.

Yep.

I have like 10-20 clean females with the highest stats for main breeding, and one clean male with the highest stats just for that.

[hearty heart]

I’m playing on official pvp and Im kinda new to the server and I found a base with auto turrets what are the easiest ways to destroy auto turrets without soaking?

[jovial tulip]

c4 most likely and a riot shield with a crap load of durability

[earnest fox]

can anyone spare a swamp fever anti

[charred vale]

You can cure it without the anti, just travel to SE

[charred vale]

Then fjordur eat the nameless venom

[earnest fox]

can a maewing kill one?

Is there any way to trick the game into thinking I beat alpha Fenrir because I want to use mjolnir but I can't spawn alpha Fenrir on the map I'm playing

[bright mulch]

Only way to trick the game would be to use the admin command which makes you the max rank and gives you all the Tekgrams

[stone wren]

Can you send me that

[bright mulch]

I can when I get home from work in 4hrs from now

[stone wren]

Ok

[bright mulch]

should be able to find it on the Ark wiki though

[valid flame]

Yesterday I was on gen2 and had 500k points and I just got on it now and I had 0 what happened?

[peak ginkgo]

I assume your playing on single player?maximum difficulty doesnt affect lv dino spown at. You need to edit the ini files if you want wild dinos to spown above the vanila settings. But island isnt known for having great levels so you gotta keep looking for those lv 150.

[north harness]

Can someone help me with ark settings?

[bright mulch]

Just need to ask what you need and anyone who can help will get back to you asap

[red blaze]

Probably a restart that did that

[raw frigate]

can i solo alpha maewing poach with a 300% crossbow

[tiny oak]

ofc

[molten falcon]

if dino is imprinted but not by me does it still deal more dmg and takes less if im not riding it?

[tropic meteor]

the 30% bonus only applies when the imprinter is riding it so, no.

[molten falcon]

oh so its pointless to imprint dinos that i wont ride and just for boss fight or still it gets bonus stats?

[tropic meteor]

You do still get a 20% increase on base stats so it’s still worth imprinting.

[molten falcon]

cool thanks

[shrewd willow]

Now I'd say im not exactly a bob, but I do have a prob. You see.. a random tribe that lives near me kept stealing my eggs when I left my dinos on breed for a week so somebody from another tribe who I know well said they'd help me make a breeding building. They invited me to merge tribes so when I went to press merge, lag decided my time had come and somehow it made me join their tribe because some time back they invited me on accident but I ignored it so the invite was still there. Now I don't exactly want to tear down all of my base, unclaim all of my dinos and destory all my cryo fridges with hundreds of cryopods and dinos, and rebuild my base so is there any way to like.. somehow unclaim the buildings or do I have to just regrind all of it. P.S This is on PVE

[short narwhal]

do u guys know how to increase crafting skill per point on ps4

[wooden egret]

Put points into craftin effectiveness

Crafting skill i mean

[plain stag]

Merging tribes is exactly what it says. You merge tribes. That is what the invite was. In order to get all of your stuff back, you'll have to unclaim or pod your tames, tear down your stuff, leave the tribe, and then create your own tribe, and rebuild.

[copper flare]

Through out the time I’ve spent playing ark I’ve been to scared to fight the bosses but I still change maps when I get bored or and now im on extinction with a fresh character im up to lvl 100 and I wanna fight the titans , im wondering what’s the best order and what stats should I aim for , like what dinos should I use and what percentage damage or total health should I aim for ( sorry for the poor wording )

[olive bobcat]

Anyone here use beacon app? I'm just wondering is there a way that you can make changes and it updates your servers on daily restart? Saves me closing servers twice on one day if I need to change any ark settings? Thanks

[plain stag]

First, what platform are you on?

[molten falcon]

Pc, Steam

[plain stag]

Any time you need to make changes to your server, you need to shut them down. If nothing else, jump make scheduled maintenance for your group and let them know "hey this is gonna be down at x times".

[brisk halo]

is mining drill better than ankylosaur

[plain stag]

On your nitrado server web browser, there should be an IP address. Copy that, and then go into steam>view>servers>add new IP address>paste the IP.

[molten falcon]

Thank you, my friend is on Epic tho how could he join?

[brisk halo]

getting metal

I have ramshackle only

[plain stag]

Should be through the IP as well, I do not have the EGS version though so I do not know for certain, you can try this though:

Instructions for Epic Games Store are as follows:
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.

[brisk halo]

wat

[tropic meteor]

melee doesn’t affect drills xd

[brisk halo]

my melee 80%

[plain stag]

Drill is almost always better

[brisk halo]

but my wyvern can only carry 500 how i make carry more

wat

[plain stag]

Carry the drill, you get a weight reduction while it is active.

[brisk halo]

relly?

[plain stag]

Should, worked on an owl.

[brisk halo]

how i tame argentavis

all 4 close?

how i get in

only 2 stone gate

metal?

i need metal?

[tropic meteor]

not pc

correct

[brisk halo]

argentavis farm metal? @molten falcon

so me havee to tame ankylosaurus to?

it kill me it make alot of damage

spring?

i shoot with tranq shocker darts?

on argentavis?

how many arrow on the argentavis

i have blue crossbow

and purple rifle

[plain stag]

Use https://www.dododex.com/ to find how many tranqs are needed

[brisk halo]

it say 3% death

[plain stag]

Yes, there is a 3% chance that the bird will die.

[brisk halo]

why

[plain stag]

Because you are still doing damage to it, even while knocking it unconscious.

[brisk halo]

so i shoot with dart not arrow and it no die

[plain stag]

Dart would be better if you want to be on the safer side, but crossbows are fine too. Just count to 5 each shot.

So you're not shooting too fast.

[brisk halo]

5 seconds and then shoot

what

[plain stag]

That's a waste of resources tbf.

[brisk halo]

so i shoot all i can untill birdie is blood?

oki will try now

[plain stag]

If you don't want it to die or lose too much health and maximize torpor, you'd want to wait between each shot.

[brisk halo]

you guys confuse

[plain stag]

Follow dododex or the wiki then.

[brisk halo]

no mod on ark server

[plain stag]

https://ark.wiki.gg

[halcyon cave]

Can you breed reapers

[tropic meteor]

no

[plain stag]

Because waiting between each shot maximizes torpor.

[tropic meteor]

correct

[plain stag]

And also gives less chance of killing said dino.

[tropic meteor]

indeed

[plain stag]

It is not difficult.

[brisk halo]

i will use my wyvern this too confuse

[plain stag]

If you can tame it without killing it, yes.

Guess you are. It's better to wait between each shot instead of wasting resources.

[plain stag]

Congratulations

[tropic meteor]

that doesn’t mean everyone is

[plain stag]

Can just bring the channel back on topic

There are a lot of different reasons for connection issues. What type of server are you attempting to join? Does it have any mods, are you maybe loading into an area with too much to render, etc?

[turbid zephyr]

Ok does anyone know how to basically increase or eliminate the structure pick up without a mod?

[plain stag]

AlwaysAllowStructurePickUp=True

In your gameusersettings.ini under [ServerSettings]

[static surge]

Anyone know why my difficulty lvl keep resetting to 1? im changing it in the files and then when i load in the game it resets to 1

im trying to play on 6 for lvl 180 dinos

[plain stag]

What are you changing?

[static surge]

difficulty offset im prettysure

[plain stag]

OverrideOfficialDifficulty=6

Not the offset

[static surge]

oh

[plain stag]

See pins if you need extra info

[static surge]

It says it cant find OverrideOfficialDifficulty in the gameusersettings notepad

should i just copy it in

[plain stag]

You can input it yourself yep

[static surge]

does it matter where

[plain stag]

Under [ServerSettings]

[static surge]

tyvm

[plain stag]

Np

Platforms?

[topaz finch]

So what are chibis? Should I be collecting them from the raptor clause drops?

[tropic meteor]

chibis can be used to increase your max level by 5 when they are leveled up by killing alphas with them equipped and just follow you around and look cute

[topaz finch]

Oh is that stackable?

[tropic meteor]

nah

[topaz finch]

Ah ok thanks!

Is there anywhere you can find blueprints to building a base? I'd like to learn by doing a base with a plan. Right now my bases end in as a rectangle lol

[earnest fox]

can someone spare blood packs

[plain stag]

Nondedicated has issues to begin with, it could easily just be that. Try any of these maybe

[solemn wigeon]

Yesterday ark bugged out and kicked me out of my solo tribe and then gave me a 30 min respawn timer on Official PvP server. Anyone know how to fix this or am I screwed?

[plain stag]

#customer-support

[solemn wigeon]

Hi Merry, I created a ticket yesterday, any chance I could get an escalation? I cant play until this is resolved 😦

[plain stag]

We're volunteers for the discord. If you've made a ticket, you will have to wait.

[upbeat tundra]

can i get new years event on single?

[crisp kayak]

Does the fuel interval multiplier setting affect element usage as well?

I’ve read before it only affects fuel consumption in generators

[stiff topaz]

Assuming it's the same as last year, no

[north harness]

Do fjordhawks go through realms?

[brisk halo]

Is ascended rex saddle worth to put on a level 260 rex or should I keep it in ark data so it dont get lost

[brisk halo]

Yeah

[rocky escarp]

Could someone please give me the link to the official wiki? I forgot what its called and Google only gives me the fandom one

[brazen robin]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/ARK_Survival_Evolved_Wiki

[rocky escarp]

Thank you, Ill make sure to save it

[brazen robin]

there is an extension that you can get that converts the old wiki links to the new wiki

[upbeat tundra]

where

[brazen robin]

should show on the homepage for the wiki. its on Chrome/brave, edge, and firefox.
not sure why they added it on edge when edge can use chrome extensions

[valid flame]

Is there a way I can get them back?

[red blaze]

Sadly

[uncut kite]

was quicker to add it
chrome was last to approve

[severe sonnet]

does the "Egg Hatch Speed" in the server manager effect gestating for non-egg laying dinos too?

[plain stag]

Yes

[pseudo coral]

So, I'm playing prim+ on singleplayer, and nothing is spawning, I have traveled across half the island's beaches and havent encountered a thing, not even a single dodo

I was able to swim across multiple bays without dying to piranhas, because there wasn't anything in the water, not a single coel

[red olive]

Prim+ no longer has active dev support, a lot of things in it are broken making it mostly unplayable

[pseudo coral]

So I just cant get dinos anymore? Wtf

[red olive]

There might be a fix on some maps, but last I heard is most people gave up on trying to fix it

[pseudo coral]

Well I got dinos now, they wont spawn on any of the story maps

[red olive]

I don't know the workarounds, I have heard that center works the best, but I don't know

[valid flame]

This sounds like a dumb question but will baby land Dino’s eat fish meat?

[brazen robin]

if the adult eats fish most likely (not counting the baby dinos that require special foods)

[valid flame]

So bloodstalker, giga, mana, etc

[brazen robin]

does bloodstalker eat meat I don't even know lol

[valid flame]

Yea

[brazen robin]

then they should. it does less food tho.

[valid flame]

That’s fine don’t want to go to gen to farm points bc they wiped them for some reason just an easy way to get it for now

[molten falcon]

how do u fix a fatal error

it says something about lost island

[brazen robin]

verify your game files

[molten falcon]

i’ve already done that

are there any other fixes

i’ve already reinstalled too

[brazen robin]

what were you doing?

[molten falcon]

flying a wyvern on the rsgnarok map but i’ve also crashed while doing other things

it may just be ragnarok?

[brazen robin]

try reinstalling rag specifically (could also be your save)

[molten falcon]

okay thank you

[hearty heart]

Ok

[crisp kayak]

Is there a best spot to finding basilos in Ragnarok? I find them here and there but need the trophies

[wise otter]

my avatar in the inventory and explorer notes went dark, is there any way to fix it?

[crisp kayak]

I’m confused on the Element usage in the Tek Replicator. I read 1 element should be good for 9-10 minutes but so far it’s using wayyy more element than that.

[molten falcon]

Do I have to enable the new years event myself on my non dedicated session or will it automatically go off

[brazen robin]

afaik its not on console(including win10) SP/non-dedi. there hasn't been a client update since the winterwonderland event.

[uncut kite]

its part of the winter wonderland update

but not sure how you could add commandlines on consoles

[brazen robin]

it uses a commandline to activate tho

[uncut kite]

on pc you should be able to do it with the startup parameters in epic and steam

[brazen robin]

and there was a server update after that mentions it not the winterwonderland update

[uncut kite]

but consoles dont ahve that

[brazen robin]

see not the winter wonderland update

[uncut kite]

nah it should have been in the normal winter wonderland too

[brazen robin]

wonder why thats there then.

PC did get that as a client update

[uncut kite]

i think just as a reminder maybe but you linked consoles so yeah

[brazen robin]

the reminder would've been the #announcements post. thats in patchnotes.

either way it doesn't use the active event setting, its specifically in commandlines so can't do it on consoles(counting win10) SP/non-dedi or player hosted dedicateds

[rotund rock]

would an aberrant spino take more tranqs then a reg spino?

[brazen robin]

don't think so. X-spinos (on gen1) take more because of the damage reduction

[rotund rock]

ok ty

[brazen robin]

okay I apparently downloaded the chrome version 😂

[inner lark]

Are people allowed to vault drop all terminals on extinction and If so How do I transfer?

[inner lark]

?????

[jade smelt]

pretty sure theyre allowed to do whatever the heck they want

[cold gale]

How many dinos can I use in titan fight

[tropic meteor]

As much as your system can handle without crashing

[cold gale]

Ok can Gigas be used for titan if so why does the website say otherwise

[tropic meteor]

Can be used for titans, can’t be used in boss arenas

[ember wren]

If I'm on singleplayer and in The event option I put Winter Winderland in like 2 weeks will it work? My PC was broken all December and I didn't get a chance to get any present

[stiff topaz]

Since they said they were keeping the event assets in at the end of the year, probably

[ember wren]

Okay Thanks

Also you help me at almost every Ark discord server I'm on lol

[stiff topaz]

Yeah i'm around a lot of places lol

[ivory star]

Im kinda stupid and wanted to try uploading my character since i wanted to play on another map so i just went to one of the obelisks (This is on fjordur) and clicked upload character while stile having all my stuff in my inv. Does this mean that i now just lost all of my stuff or can i get it back somehow? (Sorry if my english is not to good)

[stiff topaz]

It'll be in a bag on the ground at the obelisk

[ivory star]

I went there and cant find the bag?

[stiff topaz]

It might have despawned if you took too long, not sure what the timer on them is

Assuming you're on Singleplayer?

[ivory star]

Yes

I went back there after less than a minute

[stiff topaz]

Might be under the mesh

[ivory star]

Ok ima try to use ghost to check

Im currently still loading in

Nope

Checked under every obelisk

[ivory star]

Is there any other thing?

[stiff topaz]

Might need to just revert to a backup

^

[ivory star]

Wait it creates one backup everytime you log off right?

[ivory star]

Also sorry but how do i load into an old backup?#

[stiff topaz]

Make a backup copy of Saved. Then rename the backup file to the main file

[ivory star]

Ok thanks should i rename "NewLaunch" or "AntiCorruption"?

Also sorry for asking so many questions but i dont know the name of the main file/Is the main file just named "Fjordur . ark"?

[stiff topaz]

Try AntiCorruption, if it doesnt work, try newlaunch

[ivory star]

Alright

[stiff topaz]

Would be that yes, or similar to it

[ivory star]

I have one with the current date in it

Should i take that one?

[stiff topaz]

You need one that's a bit earlier than the current save

[ivory star]

With current i mean 2:09 (It is 4:18 for me currently)

[stiff topaz]

Try that one then yeah

[ivory star]

The date in the file is "01.01.2023_2.09.48 . ark"

[stiff topaz]

And np, you seem to be working out how to do it pretty fast tbh

Usually it takes a lot more explaining

[stiff topaz]

So yeah rename that to Fjordur.ark

[ivory star]

Great,What do i name the original one?

I hope i didnt lose to much

[stiff topaz]

Anything, can delete it, can keep it, but make sure you made a backup of the whole Saved folder first

Just in case

[ivory star]

Ok so i have done everything now

I will now try and load into my save

This might take a second since im using mods

[tropic meteor]

does anybody know if dinopithecus still spawns on valguero or if they fixed it?

[ivory star]

So i lost my favourite tame but it works

[stiff topaz]

They fixed it months ago, Island was fixed more recently. Centre is.. still fucked

[tropic meteor]

aight, ty

[ivory star]

Nvm i found him

Thank you so much dude

[stiff topaz]

No problem!

[crisp kayak]

When wiki says the Tek generator uses 1 element every 18 hours is that irl or game time

[plain stag]

Irl

[crisp kayak]

Oh sweet that’s a long time. Does the fuel consumption setting affect that as well? I was curious how long it’d last if it’s fully slowed down

[rocky escarp]

Someone told me that giant beehives benefit from greenhouse effect. Is that true or are they talking bs?

[hollow echo]

Seems unoffical servers might have only got Raptor Claus drops for the new year

[charred magnet]

It was all servers.

[proud ermine]

Yep same here basic raptor claus drops instead of the normal high teir chibi and skins like previous years

On official

[real stratus]

i have ark on the epic games store but the game is larger then it is suppost to be can someone take a look

[brazen robin]

ark on steam/epic with all DLCs is supposed to be 430~GB

[real stratus]

not all dlcs

[brazen robin]

which DLCs do you have? ark is a big game

[real stratus]

i just want to install the base game first not all the free maps too

i have the free ones on pc

but i dont wanna install them rn

[brazen robin]

that'd be around 140~GB I believe. the free DLCs would more than double it.

click the 3 dots and click manage(I think) and you can choose which to download.

[real stratus]

any way to install just the base game? for now i dont want all the maps rn

help guide me

[brazen robin]

I don't use epic so I don't know for sure. should be able to choose somewhere in the 3 dots for the game.

[real stratus]

clicked it and dont know

[real stratus]

manage addons i dont think is a choice till u install it that basically puts me in the same spot of lacking space

[brazen robin]

its manage DLC, seems a lot of people have issues with it not appearing maybe completely close epic and reopen it?

[real stratus]

wym completely close it

[brazen robin]

bottom right the arrow, then right click epic then you click exit here (lol mine is so busy)

[real stratus]

mine is just as bad

[crisp kayak]

You can’t spawn Tek items without having learned the engram?

[brazen robin]

should be able to spawn them with commands. if you aren't in creative mode you'll need the tekgram to use most of them tho.

[crisp kayak]

Yeah we’re not in creative mode. I lost my Tek armor due to lag/glitch so the admin was gonna spawn me a new set but it’s not letting them

Seems odd though to have that type of restriction for an admin command

[real stratus]

did that dont see it

[brazen robin]

the other fix they say is reinstall the game lol. epic has some issues

if the DLC didn't install that might also be the reason

[real stratus]

the game isnt installed

i lack space for all the dlcs

[brazen robin]

that would be the reason then. people say you can't choose what to download until its downloaded

[real stratus]

i just want to install the base game

[real stratus]

such a bad system id never buy it on epic games

[brazen robin]

there are posts about it for 3 years. don't think they care

epic has more issues than I thought lol

[real stratus]

wish ark was given away for free on steam instead

[brazen robin]

it was

[real stratus]

fr?

damn

[brazen robin]

yeah, was free in june on steam

[real stratus]

shit wish they would do it again or something

the only dlc i really want is scorched earth but i already bought that stuff on PS

[valid flame]

Is there a 10x event happening today

[mellow shard]

i keep getting the joining failed connection time out message, even though the other day it worked fine, what do i do?

[valid flame]

I had that happen 2 days ago on a gen1 server it took me 10 hours before I was allowed to join

[latent bane]

queestion for anyone in here with dedicated server experience... My friends and I are on a dedicated server playing fjordur (awesome map btw community and wildcard, A+ all around) and we wish to allow cave flyers across the board, we tried inserting the "forceallowcaveflyers=true" into the gameusersetting.ini and that did NOT work. any way we can get this to work? we are not using any website, we are using a friend of that group who has extra "towers" and he runs it on one of those, only its... not exactly a tower?... hard to explain. but basically the only way we can edit the server is through the game.ini and the gameusersettings.ini folders. so... is there any way to ACTUALLY allow cave flyers since the line of code literally doesn't work lol.

[edgy oracle]

im on singleplayer and i cant get nests to spawn (incl deinonychus)

i have dinowiped multiple times but to no avail

[stiff topaz]

ait 1 1/2 hours or so

[edgy oracle]

does slomo reduce the waiting time

[stiff topaz]

Not sure

Dont think so

[edgy oracle]

ok thanks

[stiff topaz]

check if there was already an entry for it in the file, or one in the bat file. if there's neither, try add it as a launch option in the bat file; -ForceAllowCaveFlyers=True

[latent bane]

what is the "bat file" if you dont mind mee asking. I am a bit technologically inept

[stiff topaz]

The file that's used to launch the server

you click it to run it, and the server boots

[polar sandal]

should work, just to make sure the server was restarted after the changes were made ?

[latent bane]

the wonderful person above actually resolved the issue

[latent bane]

This worked, thank you

[polar sandal]

awesome possum

[naive dust]

Trap and turret

[charred vale]

Shot or punch it and lure into lava then wait till it's dead

[steep verge]

I was playing on the island and now when i want to go back it makes me make a new character. Is there a way to get my progress back? (On pc with mods if it makes a difference)

[naive dust]

Transfer back to the island and there should be a box that says download survivor.

[native spruce]

just playing my server and i have auto unlock engrams on. but the last 6 levels of engrams are greyed out. please help

[sullen hatch]

are you level 120

[native spruce]

No, around level 40

[sullen hatch]

ah so you mean you only have things from level 34?

[crisp kayak]

Is it better to just make Tek transmitters compared to teleporters ?

[naive dust]

If you’re just looking to get around the map teleport is better

[wanton lance]

I like to make a little house for a family of dodos
I also like make a large army of small dinos like dimorphodons and use them for war

Its fun

[steady epoch]

This event can only be run ONCE on a savefile (with 2 triggers).
what exactly does this mean tho? specifically the 2 triggers part

[raw frigate]

How can i activate the event in singlplayer?

[tropic meteor]

that’s the neat part, you can’t.

[raw frigate]

what, why?

[steady epoch]

😭

[hushed flame]

Can someone help me with the new years codes. Do I just put those time stamps in or do I have to change anything?

[tropic meteor]

there hasn’t been a client side update that added the assets needed to run it from what I understand

[raw frigate]

Ok

[steady epoch]

thats lame

[wise otter]

the event items are permanent?

[stiff topaz]

nope that's only the case with colours in the past. in this case it's just it never worked on sp and they never fixed it

[lapis sandal]

Can someone explain to me how a beaver dam works? Is it necessary to remove only the cement or break it so that another one comes out?

[crimson fulcrum]

You need to destroy it or take everything.

Otherwise yes no more will spawn.

[lapis sandal]

Ok thank you

[swift cipher]

How to make a boat

[crisp kayak]

Any ideas why I’m not able to craft blueprints in my Tek replicator rn? I have all the materials

[red olive]

Is the rep powered?

[crisp kayak]

Yeah it is and apparently it’s not just blueprints I can’t craft anything in it rn. I just used a mindwipe and went all into crafting skill but I don’t see why that’d affect this

[red olive]

That doesn't affect being able to craft things

Is it turned on?

[crisp kayak]

Yes lol

[crisp kayak]

Nvm I fixed it. For some reason I had to remove a bunch of stuff from the inventory even though it wasn’t maxed out

[sullen hatch]

you mean raft? it's an engram at level 16

[swift cipher]

oh

[modern cipher]

im havening a problem where when i join a server or do a solo play world on a world that's not the island my game go to steam and try's to get me to get a map i have already

I didn't realize oylmpus and the island shared the survivor and now my olympus survivor is gone

[long marten]

my shooter game keeps crashing when i load into my world how would i fix that

[wise coyote]

Will unloaded dinos on a server be safe from attacks from wild dinos until we load that area?

[molten falcon]

[tropic meteor]

Correct

[molten falcon]

Same for already tamed?

[tropic meteor]

[molten falcon]
