@royal citrus you can always check dododex website to see how much food it needs the creature to be tamed depending on the type of food aswell as narcotics and time require for be hungry enough to eat it all

[vale gull]

Can someone tell me how they would raid my base so I would better improve it? If you wanna do it ping or dm me il send you base pic

[fresh geode]

yo! im tryna get my own dedicated server set up for just me and my friends, when im using steamcmd ive got all the stuff set-up but when i ran it, it didnt create the save file for my alt save directory and when i ran it, it opened in like 10s instead of like 300s and never said back "your server has successfully started" - can anyone help?

[royal citrus]

does anybody know if you can bring argies into the tek cave?

[alpine cypress]

can any1 explain what the colored boxes with numbers in them mean ( incubator )

[hot otter]

so just colors of the dino

[alpine cypress]

k thx

[timber oar]

do coelecanths go into fish baskets themselves or do i have to trap myself

[polar sandal]

They do not
Use a tent 😉

[nova sand]

Hey is someone has ideas on how to resolve @safe frost Problem that would be great because Iverified am out of ideas why he can't run the game maybe some may have experienced this before.

When he Press's Play on Steam the game will not launch at all for him and switch back to press play again, it doesn't error out

He has verify game files
twice reinstalled

His spec's
AMD FX 6000 CPU
1660 super
16 GB ram
500 GB hard drive

[polar sandal]

Many users reported that their Steam game launches, but then nothing happens.
Because your antivirus software might block the app, you should temporarily disable it.
To fix this issue, you should always ensure that you're running Steam with admin privileges.
If a certain Steam game launches, but nothing happens, change your download region and verify the integrity of files directly from the app.

[next roost]

is ASA going to receive the canon dlcs eventually?

[red olive]

It's probably what al said, but I have noticed ark does that sometimes just for fun. For me it's not replicable, so it's probably a different issue

[burnt jolt]

Thanks, that inventory one is really helpful

[elder phoenix]

Me and my friend have been playing on this unoffical server on aberration for 3 days. It worked all fine the first 2 days, but today, his game crashed. So he loaded it back up, and it kept crashing. He kept trying and it kept crashing as soon as he would load into aberration. BUT on the same server, but ragnarok, he is able to spawn in and run around and do anything. its just aberration that he crashes as soon as he spawns in. Anyone know why and how to fix? He is on xbox Series S

[prisma radish]

I've been playing the same non-ded server for months and suddenly it has decided to use a character from a completely different single player safe on a completely different map and I'm not sure how to get my old character (and all of my stuff since it was a different tribe) back

I just checked and recognize the character from a modded map, I'll try and ask the server for that mod to see if they know how to fix it

[near dove]

so i figured out my ark issue by reaching out to g-portal if anyone would like me to let them know the fix

[hybrid hound]

Did you add anything weird to it settings wise?

Anyone else have a weird black line appearing on genesis 2 randomly? During gameplay halfway across the screen for a split second or two

It's not big enough to cause vision issues, just weird and random. And often..

[low pivot]

How much is ASA+all dlcs

45$ or it's only price of the game

[polar sandal]

Price includes all base dlcs. Future dlcs will cost

[junior forum]

How to get oil??

[polar sandal]

Depends on the map
Generally oil rocks in the water, or snow areas

[bright mulch]

If you get the game when it comes out, it will be $40. As part of a discount

AI is right, it will included the game and all the current dlcs

the future dlc will be a separate purchase

[hasty wolf]

1. Killing trilobites, (1/10) difficulty. Low risk, low reward.

2. Killing leeches. (7/10), moderate risk, moderate reward

3. Killing basilosarus. (10/10), high risk, high reward.

4. Mining oil rocks. 6/10, moderate risk, high reward.

5. Mining underwater oil rocks. (20/10), very high risk, very high reward

[low pivot]

Current?So does it mean that I will have to buy a new one?

[bright mulch]

#announcements crunch explains it better than me

[neat reef]

does anyone know if i delete a mod and redownload it without loading into a save will it still keep everything?

[hasty wolf]

Yeah

[slate minnow]

I used to have this on a hard drive sometimes... I found that forcefully closing ARK (it'll try to launch and close) and steam via task manager, rebooting and restarting both works

[hasty wolf]

But it doesn’t work you can just rollback the save

[neat reef]

thank u

[polar sandal]

Pardon?

[sage girder]

Ya but it’s not coming with any dlcs so what’s the point. Unless it comes with rag and valgero etc

[polar sandal]

Uts a investment. Gotta think past the immediate gratification.

The other dlcs will be released over time. And youd already own then rather than buying them seperate

[sage girder]

You said future dlcs will cost, doesn’t that mean all dlcs releasing after island launch will cost? If the island is releasing alone, then that means scortched, ab etc will all cost

[polar sandal]

Nah

All existing dlcs will be included with the base price and released as per their latest roadmap

There will be more, newer dlcs later added that we have not seen yet

Those will cost additional fee

[sage girder]

Ok that makes more sense

[wraith beacon]

Anyone know what's going on here? I've never had this issue before. I'm trying to place a foundation to start building a base (on singleplayer) and I get a message saying "Can't Place SS Wood Foundation: Can't Place on Floor" when there is not floor for me to be placing it on

[polar sandal]

Some areas are build restricted because loot drops spawn there, and some because... They are just disabled. Such as the giant skeleton on the beach in viking bay on Ragnarok.

[wraith beacon]

I turned the settings I saw to let me build in places. And for what it's worth, I'm on the mainland a bit north of Herbivore Island on the Island

[polar sandal]

Mmm all i can say is some areas are just restricted. If you can place them elsewhere thats probably what it is

There is indeed a setting to enable loot drop building so if thats on, probably just the area

[wraith beacon]

I'm adding the only one that wasn't there to my ini to make certain now (that's the PVEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=True one I saw someone mention when looking it up), the other settings were already set right in the menu when you load the game

That said, if this doesn't work, is there a way to disable the check?

[sudden radish]

anyone avalible to help me?

the side of mountains are yellow for me for some reason, i updated my graphics card and all that but it didnt help

[robust sierra]

Can a lvl 212 carno win against a level 100 alfa carno?

[naive dust]

Possibly. Gonna depend entirely on its stat distribution

[robust sierra]

6k health and 728% melee damage

[robust sierra]

Would that do the job?

[naive dust]

I can’t guarantee nothing but i would take that fight with confidence

[robust sierra]

I won

[stoic hornet]

Need base spot where I won’t get raided so quickly we are trio

[naive dust]

Gonna have to think outside the box early game. Mid to late game you’ll farm enough materials to throw up a well defended base in a known cave.

Go to a cave to early and you’ll just get wiped

[wooden radish]

Why am i getting levels so much easier?
Im level 68 and i need 24531 to level up but on the wiki it says i'd need 34786

[proven pelican]

im pretty new to the game and i keep getting this crash called ue4 shooter game does anyone know how to fix it? im playing solo mods

[naive dust]

Probably got the experience multiplier increased

[narrow moat]

in difficulty 10 what Basliosaurus stats should i aim for 100k hp and the rest on dmg? because on difficulty 1 people recommend 50k hp

[naive dust]

Difficulty 10 as in 300 max wild level?

[narrow moat]

320 OR 380 i forgot

[naive dust]

A good tame will have 20-25% of its wild levels distributed into a desired stat like health or melee.

[wooden radish]

Its at 1

[naive dust]

Do you have single player settings active?

[wooden radish]

I play on singleplayer if thats what you mean

[hot otter]

whats the boss timer on smalltribes official?

[naive dust]

There’s a setting called “use singleplayer settings” if you have it checked it’ll affect all your multipliers.

[wooden radish]

Affect them as in what

[naive dust]

The game was originally designed and balanced with tribes of people In mind. The “use single player settings” was added later and balances the game around a single player. It affects them by changing the base of what your multipliers would be. Meaning 1x on official is a lot less than 1x on single player.

[wooden radish]

I cant seem to find it

Oh nvm

It is enabled

Is that why?

[tribal atlas]

Arr lighting wyvern the best wyvern in fjordur

[molten falcon]

What do I feed baby wyvern it dies even with meat

[wooden radish]

Wyvern milk

[molten falcon]

How do I get thay

[wooden radish]

From wyverns

[molten falcon]

Ok

Thank

[brazen robin]

you KO a female wyvern and it'll be in its inventory

or kill an alpha wyvern

if they are crystal wyverns, its primal crystal not wyvern milk and any crystal wyvern works

[molten falcon]

Ok

[brazen robin]

if its a tek wyrm then its just meat

[molten falcon]

How about lightning

[brazen robin]

wyvern milk, ice, fire, lightning, and poison need milk.

[molten falcon]

Ok

[robust pumice]

hellooo

i was playing on a server yesterday and i've come back today and my character is gone. what gives?

when i was playing i exited to the main menu a couple times and loaded back in and my character was fine, but i turned my ps5 off last night and jsut logged back in and it's gone?

just*

[robust pumice]

i did not ]o:

nah online

yeah

[small sierra]

Hi

[polar sandal]

Make sure your looking on the correct server. If you are on the correct server perhaps you were drowned and accidentally clicked create new survivor

Since it was official you can try #customer-support if you think it was a game error

[cedar needle]

i cant place walls on a roof thats supported by pillars any1 know why

[polar sandal]

Whats it say

[cedar needle]

doesnt say anything

[polar sandal]

Usually it would say like cant place floor or no foundation support or enemy platform too close etc etc

[cedar needle]

it doesnt say anything

i hear the placement sound but it doesnt place it

also is 1 s+ air conditioner enough for all eggs

so i thought my friend has been telling me so

[tiny compass]

any1 know what i should tame on ragnorak? i already got a wyvern idk what else is cool to get

[plain stag]

While the S+ AC units are more powerful, 1 is not enough. I use 2-4

[tiny compass]

where are those

?

[cinder edge]

Can a steam player play with an Xbox S player?

[plain stag]

No

[cinder edge]

Dang.

I have to buy it through microsoft?

[plain stag]

Yep

[cinder edge]

Is there a way I can connect my XBox account to my steam account?

[neon python]

No

[cinder edge]

That sucks.

I can do it on Sea of Thieves, so I figured it might work on ARK.

[neon python]

I have a problem. My game keeps crashing and I don't know what to do. I already deleted and redownloaded the game.

[plain stag]

Check pinned messages in this channel for a crash walk through.

[neon python]

Uh how do I check that

[plain stag]

Not on Ark Survival Evolved. You'll be able to with Ark Survival Ascended

Ok thanks

[autumn grotto]

I joined my friend's non dedicated but i can only move and my items arent in my inventory, like stats dont go down i cant ride my dinos i cant pickup berries, i can punch stuff but not get resources, and after a minute or so i get kicked out why is that?

[polar sandal]

Sounds like de-sync

Relog

[autumn grotto]

i even restarted my pc

still the same

i get an error lost/timedout connection to host for a split second after i get kicked

[polar sandal]

Probably having some internet issues today

If your de-syncing long enough it will dc you

[autumn grotto]

wdym by relog

[polar sandal]

Log out
Log in

Which if you restarted tour pc you did basically that. Which is why i went on to say your probably just lagging today

[autumn grotto]

rip

[lunar estuary]

my friends game broke cus he downloaded valguero he says it just freezes and when he closes it with task manager it reopens

[polar sandal]

Theres a crash guide in pins
Youll need to get his crash report or have him look

[autumn grotto]

is it possible to fix it somehow or i just gotta wait till it fixes itself

[polar sandal]

Eh you can do bs stuff like restart your router. Clear your router cache. Use google dns. Or a VPN

Vpn may help
If your nat is strict

[autumn grotto]

will try

im staying at a hotel with my friend so restarting router probably isnt an option

anyways thanks!

[polar sandal]

Hah. Hotel wifi sux. So, the good news is its probably iust... That

[autumn grotto]

My friend just disabled structures plus and it worked

[polar sandal]

Heck ya

[autumn grotto]

kinda sucks kinda doesnt

[tiny compass]

i just ran into the lava with a super good wyvern 20k health 2k damage 3k stamina in ragnorak is there any backups or anything i can do to get it back

[autumn grotto]

okay now i cant light my campfire

i put wood and the light up button doesnt show up

[polar sandal]

Theres a guide in the pins on how to recover a corrupt save

Same process

[polar sandal]

That hotel wifi

Removing the mod may of made it load in quicker. But the latency remains

Causation vs correlation

[autumn grotto]

ok th ewood just didnt work

i had some glitched wood lmao

[polar sandal]

Fair

[high mist]

Any good places to find raptors on ragnorok

(Near northwest)

[humble flax]

Raptors are everywhere

If not, check the wiki for a spawnmap.

[high mist]

K

[polar sandal]

Behind you when your not expecting it

[high mist]

Your thinking of Micro-Raptors, Compies, and bugs

[polar sandal]

O rite

[junior forum]

What is good first dinosaur I should tame?
If it matters I have a sawn off shotgun and flak armor

[high mist]

Moschops. Good starting dino, can gather, doesnt require knocking out, can ride without saddle, and just all around good

[junior forum]

Ok

[gilded badge]

A parasaur, scorpion, pteranodon or carnotaur are my go to:) Moschops are also ridiculously strong for how easy it is to tame them

[high mist]

@junior forum Start with Moschops, then get Pteradon for a good starting flier, then build trap to get trike, good hp, gatherer, and useful. Then get a raptor. Thats the starting dinos to get

[gilded badge]

Or a Woolly Rhino, they are like trikes but better and not too hard to tame with a regular stone trap

Raptors can’t carry more then 250 pounds at best I find

[high mist]

But harder to find

Wooly rhinos are harder to find

Especially when starting, with no cold protection

[gilded badge]

Definitely a fair point but they said they have flak, so they can live the cold, and they are common as ever in snowy places

[prime sundial]

is arkpoc on xbox?

[high mist]

Whats poc?

[prime sundial]

ARKpocalypse

[high mist]

Ok. I think its everywhere except switch and mobile

[gilded badge]

I have no clue, I don’t play the public servers

[polar sandal]

Should be

[prime sundial]

i cant find it on official

[wraith bramble]

hey guys is it possible to download just genesis part 1 and then just part 2? My garbage pc dont have no space but I might have space if I could download only one...its just that all I see is the entire season pass which includes both

[polar sandal]

Yeah. Should only need the map your playing downloaded

And possibly the island as well, but maybe not. But uts like the base map so... Maybe

[humble zephyr]

So, I used to play official like a year ago and as I stopped due to school I left my character in a hidden rag map

How can I find what server was that after a year?

[polar ruin]

when you get to the pick server menu there should be a My Survivors option

it'll list any servers you've at least logged into at some point

[humble zephyr]

Where would that option be? Thx for the help

[polar ruin]

i don't play xbox so i'm just assuming based on PC version

i dunno if the menus are the same

[spice harbor]

Hi, I am after help with hosting a server but am unsure where to get it. Any suggestions?

[humble zephyr]

I’m the top there is map etc

In the bottom there is filter by session

Any of this?

[polar ruin]

some bigger Ark streamers and youtubers usually have their preferred service that you can check with, or you can check google for something like 'Rent Ark Server'

[polar ruin]

session filter

[spice harbor]

I'm not renting, I am hosting it myself on a Linux server machine. I am having difficulties setting up a cluster. I can host a single fine

[polar sandal]

We dont get that on xbox unforts

[polar ruin]

ah, no clue about those sorry

[plain stag]

Try #unofficial-setup-help and check pins for help as well.

[polar sandal]

We get favorite last session. If you didnt do that... Rip

[humble zephyr]

It wasn’t, but I remembered the server, just got it back

[polar sandal]

Nice

[neat reef]

can anyone help with me with the lost island crash log? ive tried verifying the files, restarting my pc, and resubscribing to all my mods. the game loads up and i can move around but the second i walk into my s+ greenhouse i get the crash log. but it doesn't make sense because when i load in to my singleplayer world i spawn in my s+ wedge home, so if the problem is s+ i dont understand

[wraith bramble]

I don't know how to just download genesis one bc i go into the dlc and it gives me the option to download every map individually except for genesis. It only lets me download both at the same time

does anyone know a way to download just gen 1? thanks so much in advance!!

i need to stop getting distracted from my stupid algebra hw man...

[lusty temple]

guys i need help i tried breeding and raising a rex for the first time and i got 5 babies out of 2 eggs

idk how should i only raise like 2 at a time

idk how to care for so many

[nova socket]

can someone help me im so confused, me and my friend are just trying to play together on a private world just the 2 of us play on and all of these option mean nothing to me and they have no explination

[deep trellis]

@lusty temple caring for 5 babies is only slightly harder than caring for two, hell I usually breed in batches of 20 at a time

just keep stuff meat into the babies inventory until they hit 10%; then make sure you keep filling up trough

if you have a maewing you can place the meat into it, turn on nursing mode, and it will automatically feed the babies

then keep shoveling meat into maewing

[lusty temple]

ok, why 10%?

[shy helm]

anybody know how to fix the bug with ark where lost island crashes my game nomatter what map im on as i load in?

[shy helm]

i can give you mine if u want

[nova socket]

your what

[shy helm]

my settings

i play with 1 friend too and these settings are a little op but still fun

[nova socket]

no im not looking for like settings, me and my friend litterly can't get into the same world

[shy helm]

how are you doing it

[nova socket]

we're trying to do it through non dedicated server but whenever I host and he trys to join it says join failed and the same thing happens when he hosts

[shy helm]

r u using any mods?

[nova socket]

no

[shy helm]

does ark work on single player for both of you?

[nova socket]

i mean we havn't tried to load into a single player world but we can both load into our own non dedicated

[shy helm]

try sending him both your ini settings to paste the only time ive had this issue was when we used mods

[nova socket]

whats ini settings

[shy helm]

go into your ark files

then shooter game

then saved

then config

then windows no editor

then send him your game.ini and gameusersettings.ini files for him to paste into the same loaction on his pc

[neat reef]

can super structures and s+ be used at the same time?

[plain stag]

No.

[neat reef]

thats why i was getting the lost island crash log huh

[plain stag]

Most likely, don't use structure overhaul mods that use the same coding. Structures Plus, Super Structures, and Nominal Structures 2.0 are all basically the same.

[neat reef]

i wont anymore but thank u

[shy helm]

did the lost island crash get fixed after removing that mod?

[neat reef]

yes

after removing super structures and only having s+ it worked fine

tested it for like 25 minutes and no crashes

[shy helm]

were u playing on lost island or was the issue a crash on load where it said something ab lost isalnd?

island

[neat reef]

i was on fjordor

dont think it has anything to do with lost island is just easier to call it that

[shy helm]

is that what it said on the crash message?

[neat reef]

ye something about lost island

[shy helm]

ive been having that prolblem for a few days and idk how to fix it

[neat reef]

what mods u got

[shy helm]

it was after i added simple spawners

ill send u the mod pack

[plain stag]

Lostisland is the buildID

Rarely has anything to do with the LI map

[shy helm]

oh

[plain stag]

Best thing to do is remove all mods, add them one by one and check each mod to see what is causing the crash.

[shy helm]

i think ik which one it was but these issues only stated after i added simple spawners but then i removed it and the error persisited

[plain stag]

Simple Spawners shouldn't cause any issues

[plain stag]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2994225424

[west tapir]

i have killed over 50 basilisks and still no alpha

[shy helm]

u know if any mods here have conflicting or the same code?

[plain stag]

Is that all of the mods you're running at once?

[shy helm]

yeah

it was fine before i added simple spawners, anti theft, and better craetures

[plain stag]

Condense them

[shy helm]

how?

[plain stag]

Honestly, most of those mods you have for bug fixes, if not all, can be fixed by using Dino fixes or Kraken's Better Dinos.

[shy helm]

i use better creatures bc i can change the values in ini

[plain stag]

You have too many mods that very easily can conflict with the rest.

[shy helm]

like the mods by the guy that made s+?

[plain stag]

You have multiple dino trackers, multiple colors, a lot of the better creatures mods can be condensed.

[shy helm]

i dont think i run the dino tracker ones and the 2 colour mods i use are for an item and for random dinos to spawn with any colours

[plain stag]

Either way, you really need to look through each mod and remove some if they overlap with others.

[shy helm]

ok

[shy helm]

that fixed thanks

[grim phoenix]

how am i supposed to find bases to raid? been searching for a decent raid for hours on rag and island

[polar sandal]

Keep lookin

[feral sedge]

I can't seem to find an answer to a basic question on google. Can a Tek Stryder, on wander, paired to a dedi storage for metal, gather by itself?

[polar sandal]

Havent seen it myself

[feral sedge]

well I stood on top of it for an hour and it didn't gather anything but diplos don't seem to be able to hit it properly, so I'll throw a trough on it for its raptor followers and let it go while I get back to my other tasks

[polar ruin]

pretty sure they have to be ridden to use the gather feature

[magic ingot]

what maps do rhyna spawn on and best spot?

[bright mulch]

Island and Lost Island

[magic ingot]

only in swamps

[versed sluice]

Lost island they rarley spawn for me

[magic ingot]

ive seen 1

and it was a male that despawned

ive just went over 3 times all the spots they spawn

[oblique pulsar]

hello guys i am new to ark and i need some help with my settings for my server more importantly to do with creatures cause i dont want to wait forever for them to hatch and stuff could any of you lmk what settings i should change where the creatures would take preferrably like 30-40 minutes to hatch and then another 45-50 minutes to become adults with the imprinting bonus any help would be appreciated

[polar sandal]

These are roughly the names of the settings you will want to change, or use them for your ini file

As far as the exact rime your looking for just kinda play with things.

Keep your cuddle interval nultiplier low like 0.25 so you get the inprint and naybe go for roughly 10x on the cooldowns and go from there

MatingIntervalMultiplier=
EggHatchSpeedMultiplier=
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=
BabyFoodConsumptionSpeedMultiplier=
BabyImprintingStatScaleMultiplier=
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=

Changing these may not apply to existing babies

oh okay thanks

[gritty herald]

Hey, i got a problem on official arkpoc.
Im a solo player and was pretty happy as i found a used and easy accesabel Industrial cooker to brew me some medbrews.
I farmed the narcotics and tinto berries and put it in the cooker ( enemy tribe/ not loocked) + gasoline but i couldnt light it.
Is it just that way or can i still get medbrews ?

[bright mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-gif-25358104

[plain stag]

Is the cooker attached to a water pipe and irrigated?

[gritty herald]

Yeah it is @plain stag

[plain stag]

Try picking it up and placing it again, sometimes they bug

[gritty herald]

Its not mine

Its a different tribe

[coral sapphire]

The cooker requires power from a generator, not gasoline in its inventory

[plain stag]

Requires gasoline 🙂

[plain stag]

The issue is most likely that it's a different tribe. If they're not online and cannot craft it for you, craft your own.

[coral sapphire]

i play too much modded

[plain stag]

Same here, most modded content only requires a generator

[clear comet]

What’s a bob

[naive dust]

You are if you gotta ask

Someone who’s new. The default survivor name used to be Bob. Now it’s human

[carmine apex]

Im getting the connection timeout error wehenever I try to join official servers.

I have tried everything. European VPN, usa vpn, resetting router, checking firewall, literally everything. I have verified gamefile integrity thrice. Also tried loading the same map in singleplayer first. And tried clearing steam download cache, as well as setting the server browser ping rate to Automatic(5000). It has been happening for weeks. I have also tried DNS 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 and flushing dns cache, using battlemetrics too

but whenever i click join it always says "Joining server __" for like 1 minute and then says timeout. Either that or it goes to loading screen, says "Loading PrimalGameData..." and then kicks me back to server brwoser after 10 secs

this shit is so annoying I cant even play the game. I have managed to join a server only 3 times out of the like 50 ive tried

[clear comet]

Kk thx

[junior forum]

Are blood packs good

[hot otter]

if you dont have med brews yeh

[jaunty wharf]

So I just moved to PC from Xbox after many years playing. Weirdly facing an issue that I can not seem to fix or find a solution for. My interaction menu when I face a door/Dino/storage doesn’t display. I can still press the keys needed to open it, but can not get it to display the interaction hud.

[stuck vortex]

Cycle through the hud options with backspace.

Backspace will hide your hotbar and all floating text. "End" will change visibility of names by distance.

[jaunty wharf]

Awesome, thank you. I’ll give this a try when I get back home. I tried backspace when it happened but wasn’t aware that it cycled through options.

[vague garden]

Hey guys, so I just started a dedicated server as a test run and I found that transfering in dinos ruins their stats for some reason? like, I transfered in a wyvern and he had half the melee he was supposed to despite being the same level. Anyone know how I can fix this?

[stuck vortex]

where are you transferring it from?

Desmodus dying in maewing. I've had 2 babies dies in the maewing saddle. 1 has survived. My guess is the dead babies had blood packs in their own inventory and that made them unable to feed from the maewing inventory. The surviving baby had any blood packs manually removed from their inventory before being picked up by the maewing.
Has anyone else had problems like this?

[polar sandal]

Try just meat

[stuck vortex]

maewing might have had meat in its inventory, not certain but it wasn't impossible

[wise python]

I need help. I have a loggin Problem with the Official servers. I cant join officials servers. Its only on officials i already tried everything but nothing helped. If u want a screen shot from the error dm me pls.

[deft zodiac]

Tried spoiled meat ?

[stuck vortex]

No but that's an idea. I would guess there was spoiled meat in the maewing too. But then if it could eat raw or spoiled meat from the inventory then why could it not eat the blood? 🤨

[clear comet]

What’s ldl

[stuck vortex]

a corruption of lol

[clear comet]

And what is lol?

[stuck vortex]

[plain stag]

I don't know if they've fixed it, but desmos instantly empty troughs when you go in and out of render. Meat does not fill them fast enough and blood packs have too long of a timer between them so it gets super dicey.

[stuck vortex]

Go out of render for a while, get back, it thinks it needs to have eaten 50 bags, can only eat a single bag because consumption timer....?? 🤔

oh no 💩

[plain stag]

It's been a bit since I've bred desmos, maybe it's been fixed?

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Desmodus#Breeding

[stuck vortex]

i'll keep it in mind. I did notice the 40 second timer before

[plain stag]

They're super buggy with foods

[stuck vortex]

i think having food in their inventory while they're in the maewing saddle/basket might have messed them up, they're unable to transition to the trough

i'll do an experiment to check that in particular but i need to tame more first

[deep trellis]

With desmondus babies just have meat in the maewing/troughs, do not do blood packs, that gets around the bug in how they consume food that can cause the babies to starve

[stuck vortex]

So there's definitely a bug, and it's related to blood bags?

[deep trellis]

@vague garden Are you moving stuff from a single player game to your private server? If so, the single player game might have single player settings on, which boost melee for tames, among other changes

@stuck vortex Yes, some sort of bug; not sure on specifics of how it works, but heard of other people having issues with bat babies starving with blood packs available, but if you only use meat they are fine

[paper sparrow]

How to tame a trice without trap

[stuck vortex]

[fringe rover]

has the bug with leaving the game crashing been fixed yet

[wise python]

I need help. I have a loggin Problem with the Official servers. I cant join officials servers. Its only on officials i already tried everything but nothing helped. If u want a screen shot from the error dm me pls.

[unborn rock]

is there a code to allow use of grapples and the tek suit in the island tek cave

[red olive]

Cheat fly?

[deep trellis]

@paper sparrow Multiple options - net gun it, then tranq, fly above it with sinocrops or tek suit or griffin or desmond and shoot tranqs, stand on a rock, or just be fast enough to run or dodge.

[fleet leaf]

I got my desmo stuck somewhere high and I can’t get it down pls help

[stone valley]

hey is there any way to disable the mate boost? (or at the VERY least the stat gains from it)

[stone valley]

theres a mod I can give you that will turn it on (its a mod so if this is on a server this is out of the question but you said you were allowed to code it so idk)

that being said doing it makes archeopteryx completely useless

[neon python]

I have a crashing problem. I don't know what to do. I have tried all the crash 101 advice and none have worked. I have scanned for viruses and just don't know what to do. It happened whenever I downloaded the sids hybrids mod and I have uninstalled the mod and I don't know what to do.

[stone valley]

"if there is a crash, than somewhere there is a crash report", we need to see it

also if removing the mod fixes it than means the mods busted dude, sigh if only there was a fix for the amount of abanded tmodloader mods that crash due to version incompatibilities

[simple forum]

anyone have a problem with the carc after it kicks you off and u gotta get the trust meter up and it doiesnt move?

[bleak summit]

Keep running to the side, making it spin in a circle. Just make sure you don’t fall off a cliff 😂

[bleak summit]

I’ve been breeding them with just meat since Fjordur launch. The first time I tried with blood packs they died. Then switched to raw meat and it works like a charm

[tidal plinth]

I can't ride my argentavis for some reason can anyone help me on that ?

[naive dust]

What map?

[tidal plinth]

Fjordur map i went to asgard teleporter

[naive dust]

You can’t fly in Asgard unless it’s on a bat. Need to be on the overworld of Fjordur to fly anything else

Think it’s called vanaheim

Changing the setting to allow cave flyers may resolve this.

[tidal plinth]

ok i'm walking out the entrance to the teleporters'

it's fixed 🙂

[exotic raptor]

Can’t buy extinction, aberration, scorched earth on steam. My region is Turkey

[polar sandal]

Sounds like a good thing to ask steam about

[hasty wolf]

Certain items might be blocked there

[lucid sable]

Hey looking for help/advice. I’m starting a server on nitrado and i live in the UK. which location should i choose to have my server in?

[polar sandal]

The one that shows the lowest ping for you and the majority of people who will play

[lucid sable]

ye that’s what i need help with lol

[polar sandal]

Only you will be able to see the ping from their server location page

[lucid sable]

and it doesn’t show me the ping for me

[polar sandal]

Are you renting this for xbox

[lucid sable]

yes

[polar sandal]

Are you using the xbox nitrado app from the microsoft store ?

[lucid sable]

on my xbox. It doesn’t say anything about ping on the locations

i am using the xbox nitrado app on my xbox, yes

[polar sandal]

On each location box there will be a test ping button

[lucid sable]

no there isn’t

[polar sandal]

Havent rented one for a year. Hang on lemme make sure they havent changed it

[lucid sable]

i sent you a photo of what i can see

[polar sandal]

Yeah its there. Very left of the servers. Select latency measurenent

[lucid sable]

yay, okay thank you! So what would you say is normal ping and what’s bad ping?

like new york is 85ms, is that what i should pick?

or is that terrible ping?

as you can tell i’m not a pro at this lol

[polar sandal]

Under 100 is good
Under 80 is great
Under 60 is fantastic

Anything over 180 would be nearly unplayable

[lucid sable]

i’m tempted to go London, do you think i could get a decent player base on UK based servers?

[polar sandal]

Probably. With the serve shutdowns in oct now would be the time to create a unofficial community

[lucid sable]

what server shutdowns?

[naive dust]

Officials are getting shit down at the end of September

[lucid sable]

ahh okay thank yoh

[lucid sable]

@polar sandal so i’ve changed the map to ragnarok but it still says “current map: the island”

[polar sandal]

Did you do the changes with the server shut down, or restart after saving

[lucid sable]

i’m not to sure, where can i find them?

[polar sandal]

Them?

Confusion

[lucid sable]

those settings

where can i find the server shut down and restart after saving settings?

[lucid sable]

that’s sorted

@polar sandal is there a way i can make it so you have loads of weight after you pump 1 level into it?

[polar sandal]

Ummm ye. Its the engine settings tab i believe is what its called down at the bottom should be a box that says like game engine settings go here?

PerLevelStatsMultiplier_Player[7]=x

Where x is how many points per level.

Like stat points per point put into it.... Idk how to word what im thinking.

Dont go over 10 or itll be... Insane

Maybe do like 4 and adjust from there

[robust sierra]

What level megatheriums should i need for the alpha broodmother?

[lucid sable]

what is the full command to spawn a tamed griffen?

[polar sandal]

www arkids net
Is your friend

[delicate sand]

can someone bring me a mindwipe to extinction? i'm doing a (mostly) fresh start with a buddy and i can't get new engrams, lv 103 character so i can't get the engrams i need for early

bolas and saddles n whatnot

[hybrid hound]

Gmsummon "griffin_character_bp_c" 150

[hybrid hound]

200+

[hybrid hound]

Also I recommend getting the nitrado app for a computer. The xbox version of the app glitches and double charges you

[novel chasm]

i got killed by anti mesh how can i get back my stuff 😭

the game straight up deleted my body?

bro i was just trying to tame desmodus did the game think i was hacking or something??

[slate void]

whats the best way to tame shadowmanes im playing on lvl 300 and yea its just being painful I tried to trap it but its not working cuz yea

[naive dust]

Oof. Are you official or unofficial?

[novel chasm]

official

[naive dust]

Ouch. I’m afraid your things are gone. You can file a ticket and hope for the best.

[novel chasm]

okay thanks

[lucid sable]

hey, in nitrado settings, how do i make it so members can use tek structures from the get go without having to defeat bosses?

[plain stag]

bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=True

[lucid sable]

where do i put that? in custom game.ini settings?

[plain stag]

Yep

[lucid sable]

okay thank you. I’ve never used the game ini stuff before. Do i need to “download Game.ini”?

[plain stag]

Nope, make sure to stop the server, wait a few minutes, add the code, and then save, wait a few more minutes, and then start it 🙂

[lucid sable]

thank you so much, your a life saver

[cinder edge]

Is there a whistle to allow a dino to wander?

[hollow arch]

can anyone help me, I have ini settings from a cluster that I want to move to sp, it seems from what i can read online they are in the right place, but arent taking effect in the rules section.

[hollow arch]

I put the replaced the game.ini subfolder, and the gameusersettings.ini subfolder in the WindowsNoEditor folder.

[lucid sable]

@plain stag also, how do i make it so not all buildings are easily obstructed?

[plain stag]

Disable platform structure collision

[plain stag]

If you've replaced the folder, they should be correct. The ingame settings do not always reflect the changes but as long as they're working ingame it should be fine.

[lucid sable]

@plain stag thank you. Lastly, how do i change stack sizes for items?

[plain stag]

Check pinned messages for stack sizing

[hollow arch]

but it doesnt, for example on the server damage numbers are shown, and on the sp thy arent.

[proper wharf]

Guys if i have a singleplayer world on my xbox and also ark on the same microsoft account on pc, can i play on the same character on pc and xbox too?

Not at the same time

[hasty wolf]

No, Ark is linked to whichever platform you bought it on, and on PC it’s either steam or epic games

Epic games might be able to link to your Microsoft account, but it also doesn’t have mods

[plain stag]

Not what they are referring to.

[plain stag]

As far as I know,there is not cross-platform progression on ASE even with both Microsoft versions.

[proper wharf]

Microsoft store and Xbox are the same thing

It's not steam or epic games, I've got it on all 3

[proper wharf]

So I'll be able to join with both pc and Xbox with two separate characters?

I wanna do some commands that are almost impossible to type in on Xbox so also how do i gain admin access on the pc when the Xbox has the ownership of the single player

[plain stag]

I do not think so. I've just said I don't think there is cross-platform progression between the Microsoft versions, but I also do not play on both, I am only on Steam.

Tab for commands on PC.

[pale zealot]

My son switched to win 10 from xbox and continued playing with the same character.

[plain stag]

Awesome, thanks for that info from me too so I'll know in the future.

[proper wharf]

Ok cool i hope

thanks

[hollow arch]

@plain stag

[plain stag]

Did you enable numbers? Those may need to be enabled on the ingame menu.

[hollow arch]

there is a line in the gameusersettings.ini file that enables them, and since they are not enabled, that leads me to believe that none of the other things have been enabled

if it would help i can send you the files

all i did was copy and paste it, idk if i need to change any formatting

[fallow plume]

how do i get metal to respawn slowo didnt work

i think its that one bug that makes metal and other resources not respawn once its been harvested and I leave the game without it respawning again

[hollow arch]

ik if you build around it, it wont respawn. also in single player it can be manipulated by a setting.

[fallow plume]

nothings around it, ive set respawn period for resources to the lowest the slider can be but it doesnt respawn

a workaround could be to set harvest health to like 10x

[exotic raptor]

ah okay thanks

[exotic raptor]

did, they just said get the ultimate survivor bundle and thats not even in my store either

[worthy hare]

I tried to join an unofficial server and tabbed out and now i cant enter ark, this problem also happens when a game is loading, anyone know how to fix it or why it happens?

[fair wave]

Does anyone know what the mod called that finds you wild dinos?
like if i want to find a 150 rex and i can locate it

[plain stag]

Creature Finder Deluxe is good

[lucid sable]

Hey there. I know the stack size tutorial is in pinned comments but i’m still confused. I really need someone to just tell me the code to use for me to boost stack size for metal ingots on nitrado

[plain stag]

ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemResource_MetalIngot_C",Quantity=(MaxItemQuantity=1000,bIgnoreMultiplier=true))

Change the number to whatever

[lucid sable]

😰

your a lifesaver, that looks terrifying

[plain stag]

Add it to your game.ini

[fair wave]

thanks+

[reef tide]

Hi everyone, i just tried spawning all the boss trophys but for some reason the spawn commands on the wiki dont work...? I can get the flags without any issues but trying to spawn the trophies just dosent work for some reason, anyone know why?

[lucid sable]

also, is there a way to add BBS to my server through Nitro?

[plain stag]

Yes, into a drop or a dino inventory. If you're going to be doing a lot of ini changes, you will need to use expert mode. The little custom game.ini box only allows so many lines.

[lucid sable]

okay thank you. What is the code to add BBS to the game?

[plain stag]

What are you adding them to?

[lucid sable]

probably drops and certain dinos. I’d like it to be my currency

[plain stag]

You'll have to switch to expert mode then if you're adding it to each drop and certain dinos.

[lucid sable]

okay, will do. Can you please send or show me the code? thank you

[plain stag]

I don't have a specific code for bushberry seeds.

[lucid sable]

do you know where i can find one?

[plain stag]

If you have any sort of laptop you can use Beacon, if not you can look around online, someone probably has one

[lucid sable]

okay. Thank you. Also the code you gave me for stack size doesn’t seem to work? @plain stag

[plain stag]

As long as it is in game.ini it should work.

[lucid sable]

yeah, maybe i’ve typed it wrong but doesn’t seem to work in game

[plain stag]

Just copy and paste it

[polar sandal]

We cant help you with the steam store here. Especially purchases. Youd have to continue to contact them if that is... What they said.

[lucid sable]

@plain stag can i send a photo to you with what it looks like? and you can tell me if i’ve done it wrong?

[plain stag]

Just copy and paste it. If you go ingame, spawn some ingots and see if they stack.

[lucid sable]

i cant copy and paste it because i’m on my phone

this is on my xbox

i sent the photo of what it looks like

[plain stag]

Looks similar

[lucid sable]

well it didn’t work

[left tapir]

Yo

[cinder edge]

yo

[left tapir]

Im new

To the server

[cinder edge]

Hi new, I'm conradey12

[polar sandal]

Have you switched to expert mode ?

[lucid sable]

hey i need help. On nitrado it says my server is up and has started but it isn’t showing in ark

and i’m not sure what the problem is

i’ve tried, restating it, changing settings to default, restarting my xbox

nothing seems to work

[junior forum]

How tight is the spread on the Fabricated Shotgun??

[wraith bramble]

hey guys for some reason I cant seem to find wild carchars anywhere on any map, I was told extinction was the best there just arent any anywhere in their spawn zones. I thought somehow I hadn't updated the game or something so to prove that they exist I tried spawning one in and that worked, but I want to tame one properly so why can't I find a single one??? Thanks in advance for any help

[naive dust]

Pretty sure they share a spawn with gigas and only a few will spawn at a time. May need to do some giga hunting.

[wooden radish]

Anyone know what the vanilla imprinting settings are?

I mean default

[pulsar fern]

So I just started playing ark with my friends I have around 7 hours played so far I tired starting my own solo world I have the tame speed set to 100 but whenever I try to tame smth it just doesn't work

[proud ivy]

Whenever I launch my ASM modded server I get this error and have no idea what to do to fix it

[wooden radish]

Doesnt work as in they dont eat the food?

[pulsar fern]

ya

[wooden radish]

Are you sure you're using the right food?

Maybe turn the taming speed down a bit, 100 seems a little overkill

[autumn estuary]

hey i just reopened the game after a week and it look really bad and washed not settings have changed and ive looked up the problem and havent found anything

any ideas?

[polar sandal]

What do you mean "looks really bad and washed"

[autumn estuary]

can i post photos anywhere?

[worthy hare]

I'm trying to join unofficial fjordur and lost island maps but when i try the fjordur map brings me to the steam page for it even though its downloaded and the lost island map brings me to the crystal isles page, even though i have downloaded crystal isles and lost island. How can I fix this?

[polar sandal]

#fanart-and-screenshots maybe but. Not really

[polar sandal]

If it takes you to the steam page after clicking on it, it is not installed/installed properly. No matter how much you may think it is.we see this ... A lot

[worthy hare]

at the properties tab of ark there's a tick next to all of them

[autumn estuary]

put one there,doesnt appear to be against the rules

[polar sandal]

Uncheck and recheck it

[worthy hare]

ok

[polar sandal]

Looks like your gamma is jacked up

[worthy hare]

i just tried that and it didnt work

[polar sandal]

Not sure man. Make sure its in your files.

Path is in pins

[worthy hare]

ok

[viscid flax]

guys i cant buy scorched earth and aberration dlc for some reason anyone know why?

[junior forum]

How tight is the spread on the Fabricated Shotgun??

[exotic raptor]

pretty tight, u can hit far and still land most of ur shots

also Im playing on unofficial rn and Im unable to unlock HLNA notes 31,32,33 inside the rockwell prime arena. Is there a way to fix this

[polar sandal]

Ghost in single player
Gotta stand like... On them and they are like stuck in the wall kinda, if its the ones im thinking of

[exotic raptor]

If i unlock them in single player will they carry over? And what do you mean by ghost?

[polar sandal]

For the ascension? No

Cheat ghost allows you to walk through walls and floor

[exotic raptor]

No I just need those 3 notes to unlock the extra 10 levels. Ive gotten the ascension right now

[polar sandal]

Otherwize try putting the hlna skin on your chibi which allows you to rescan notes, and just.... Span and move like crazy

[exotic raptor]

ah ok

[polar sandal]

Doing things in single player wont carry over to official but it does unlock achievements

[exotic raptor]

O oki

Thank you Al

[polar sandal]

Gl. They can be gotten. Just gotta be in like... Exactly the right spot

[exotic raptor]

Odd because Ive recieved the xp boosts from them previously but I lost the fight against rockwell

But even then they didnt unlock in the explorer notes section

[polar sandal]

Ye. Been that way for years. Wildcard knows. But... Wildcard doing wildcard things

[harsh vigil]

guys i was playing fjordur earlier and then i had to go so i logged off , i just got back on and im completely reset , this is single player , is there a way i can fix that ?

[polar sandal]

You nay have a backup. But. Other than that idk

[harsh vigil]

where would i find a backup ?

[polar sandal]

Check the pins here for how to fix a corrupt save

Basically same process minus the starting file

[harsh vigil]

what does it mean take a dupe of your corrupted save file ?

[polar sandal]

Dupe means to copy

Duplicate

[harsh vigil]

i know

but where do i find it

[polar sandal]

....why did .. you ask then....

It says the paths in there

[harsh vigil]

wont it just be the empty world since i logged back in and then exitted after i saw it was empty?

[polar sandal]

Ark by default creates a backup every 15m. If you originally played it for 15m there should be one

If you didnt even play it for 15m then... I guess there wouldnt of been much to lose anyways

[harsh vigil]

but doesnt it save when to exit ?

[polar sandal]

Use the command saveworld before closing

[dark hatch]

does anybody know if theres anyway to transfer singleplayer data from xbox/windows ark to a server

[harsh vigil]

i already exitted when i saw it was empty before i came here

[polar sandal]

In starting to think we have a language barrier because i feel i have answered all of your questions but you keep going in circles

[dark hatch]

im pretty positive it saves when you exit but if you just close the game it doesnt

[polar sandal]

If your game isn't saving use saveworld

If your trying to recover a lost save check the pins

[dark hatch]

anybody know how to get to the ark files for windows10(not steam) version

[polar sandal]

Google: nitrado ark upload world

Should take you to the nitrado wiki with a guide on how to upload a existing save to their servers

Process should be same for a self host on pc

[dark hatch]

well i need to upload to a nitrado so thatll work ig

[polar sandal]

Well there ya go !

[dark hatch]

the only one i can find is for steam ark

which should be the same process except for where i find the ark files

[polar sandal]

Are you trying to get a xbox save on there?

One created and saved on a xbox console

[dark hatch]

no its on my pc

[polar sandal]

Ah. Mmm yeah not sure about the windows path

I was gonna say if your trying to pull a console save, rip

[dark hatch]

i just simply do not know where the files are

ig i will start digging througn files

[polar sandal]

Says

<path-to-game> \ShooterGame\Saved\SavedArksLocal\

C:\Users{YOUR_USER_NAME}\AppData\Local\Packages\StudioWildcard

Idk. Havent owned a pc in a decade

[edgy oriole]

My problem is life

[polar sandal]

Go to church.

[dark hatch]

wow that worked

ok then

[harsh vigil]

is it normal for my pc to be real slow when searching for the steamapps folder?

[polar sandal]

Can be

[harsh vigil]

oke

[polar sandal]

If the progress bar is moving at all id just let it ride

[harsh vigil]

and that anti corruption thing its talking about should be a complete save file ?

[polar sandal]

Ehhh. Idk. Whatcha talkin bout

You verifying steam files ?

[harsh vigil]

step 4

[polar sandal]

What map name are you trying to recover

[harsh vigil]

fjordur

[polar sandal]

In your saved arks folder do you see any maps with that name

[harsh vigil]

so i need to go to fjordur , copy the current ,paste in seperate location , delete current save , make new save ingame , copy the anticorruption , and replace its stuff with the anticorruption backup

[harsh vigil]

its still chugging along tring to search for : steamapps/common/ARK/shootergame/saved

[polar sandal]

Youd go to those saves and it will be like

Fjordor-date-time.map

The .map is the current save. Just move it to your desktop for now

Find the one that ends in .bak

Change it to end with .map

See if it loads the backup as a main save now

You may need to enable "show file extensions"

In windows folder browser options

[harsh vigil]

when im changing the .bak one . thats from the save folder in steamapps and not the one id have copied to desktop right ?

[polar sandal]

Right

Only reason your moving the original map save to a different location is - just in case this fks up you still have it

Once uts moved just rename the bak to map so it thinks thats the map

[harsh vigil]

sounds good

and since it saves every fifteen mins i should be easily able to find it since i played like 5 hours ago and then just now

so why does it mention deleting the current save file ?

or is your way just a more efficient way

sorry if im slow to understand some stuff im stupid af

[polar sandal]

Eh. The guide is "thorough" tbh you should just be able to change one of the same names and load back in ... Assuming no other issues

[harsh vigil]

ill just stick to your way since it makes more sense in my head

but the steam appfile aint loading so ive screenshotted your advice and ill try tmrw

and thanks for the help i really appreciate it , and if it works you will have recovered well over 50 hours of play time

[polar sandal]

Well i hope it works then!
Steam file verification is... Doo doo

[harsh vigil]

and before i feel dumb this is on the this pc file and not some crap on the steam app

[clever trail]

so crystal isles is a ghostland in terms of spawn rates right, i heard that its because some original dinos are not in the drop tables anymore and thats the issue. can anyone confirm if the crystal isles dino addition mod fixes it?

[crimson isle]

my character just got deleted

is there a way to get it back?

[polar sandal]

If your single player you can use commands to recreate it, if official #customer-support

[polar ruin]

if unofficial, talk to server admin

[tight dock]

Cant play ark multiplayer at all

I cant join any server, i click join and says "joining xxxx server..." then it says connection timeout

This happens after I click it once, load in for a little, then get sent back to the servers menu

[polar sandal]

Probably lag. Either yours or theirs. Just keep trying

[tight dock]

It doesnt allow me to attempt to join the server after one try

[polar sandal]

Sometimes people have luck with a vpn. Sometimes not

[fallow plume]

ok so none of the solutions i found online worked so my workaround is
a) harvest health 3x
b) hop to genesis with my anky, hope for metal asteroids

[bright mulch]

Setting the slider to its lowest setting bugs the resource respawn in my experience.

I set mine to 0.1 and then harvest resources near it and about 20mins later metal was respawning no issue regardless if I left or not.

[vale delta]

Can i raise lightining wyvern without wyvern milk?

[hasty wolf]

If you slow down hunger yes

[narrow moat]

Use a kangaroo or a maewing

[bright mulch]

Having a daeadon helps

[fallow plume]

ill try this one, thanks

[royal elk]

im trying to find a server to play on with my friends but we don't see the same session list even with the same filters

[hasty wolf]

Are they on epic games

[royal elk]

no everyone is on steam

[hasty wolf]

Ok

[brazen robin]

the server browser doesn't show every server. find a server on battlemetrics (website) and then join it via IP.

[low pivot]

How to vote?Please help asap

Nvm

[clever trail]

guys my ark keeps crashing like as soon as i open it what do i do

[coarse yacht]

need help with a server if anyone is free

[tight dock]

So I am without luck?

[royal elk]

is there a way to see the rates on battlemetrics?

[narrow moth]

I'm trying to figure out how to fly around in admin mode to learn maps and have unlimited power to practice breeding and building. No idea where to start.

[bright mulch]

gcm

Is the command to have unlimited flight and building

[brazen robin]

only if its in the name.

[royal elk]

ok ty

[bleak shadow]

Yes, u can use daeodon healing or snow owl freeze

[vale delta]

So basically leave a daeodon with slot capped Meat and put it on passive healing next to the wyvern?

[bleak shadow]

Yes, only when wyvern Has low health, then heal it to recover hp as many times u need

[vale delta]

Alr ig

[narrow moth]

Is there cave damage on the official servers?

[naive dust]

6x

[dark hatch]

so today i bought a server

the only problem is that the server is on 961.3 and my game is on 961.2 and it wont update

[dark hatch]

anybody know how to fix this?

im on pc (not steam version of game) btw

when i check for updates on xbox app it doesnt say there are any

[warped comet]

Will it not let you join?

[dark hatch]

it doesnt show up on my server list

[warped comet]

does it have a password on it?

[dark hatch]

yeah and ive looked at things that have passwords too

so its not that

[naive dust]

That’s incredibly common, and the client version and server versions often don’t match.

[warped comet]

thats what i was thinking

[dark hatch]

so thats not the problem

[naive dust]

Searching for unofficials has always been a pain. I’ve literally never seen a server in my cluster on the search list until I favorite it or have a survivor on it.

[dark hatch]

oh lord

[naive dust]

Who hosts your server?

[warped comet]

nitrado

[dark hatch]

.

[warped comet]

hes on xbox

[dark hatch]

im on a pc but im not playing on steam ark

[warped comet]

windoes then

thats what i play on

[naive dust]

Mine are Nitrado as well and in the server settings right near restart and stop there’s a direct connect option. Do you have that?

[dark hatch]

nope

[warped comet]

i had a problem where none of my settings would save including the name

so maybe thats your problem

[naive dust]

Does the Microsoft version have anyway to input the ip for the server?

[warped comet]

i dont think it does

[dark hatch]

I dont think it does

[dark hatch]

I mean i havent tried to change it yet

Ive just been using the one it gives me

[warped comet]

try changing it maybe, and just double check all your filtering on ark client, ive had times where i just mess up the filtering on there and downt notice it

[dark hatch]

Ok i will

Give me a second

[warped comet]

okay

[dark hatch]

For some reason it seems like it doesnt change the actual name of the server when i put it in and save it

[warped comet]

yeah thats what hhappend to me before

i fixed it but if im being honest i have to idea how

maybe try reinstalling the server

[naive dust]

This may seem like a dumb question but after saving the change you did a restart correct?

[dark hatch]

Yeah

You have to do one right?

[naive dust]

Yeah. For any changes to apply to the server after saving them a restart is required.

[dark hatch]

well im reinstalling now

we'll see what it does after that

[dark hatch]

ok so i reinstalled and renamed it

but i still cant find it on server list

i checked my filters

it would be on unofficial pc sessions right?

[naive dust]

Unofficial yes. What do you mean PC sessions? Do you have more options?

[dark hatch]

Its diff on windows 10 version

Im pretty positive its the right one

Its the same thing as unofficial pretty much

[proper wharf]

Guys I'm playing on lost island, after defeating gamma boss i got like 10 engrams, then i beat alpha boss, got another engrams and like half are still locked

But after i went to defeat beta boss i didn't unlock anything??

Do i have to beat alpha again or what

[rocky coral]

@proper wharf not all tek engrams can be unlocked by a single boss

Google the ark bosses and it shows what engrams you can unlock

[proper wharf]

Idw to go fight bosses on other maps tho

There's only one on lost island

[rocky coral]

Yh, if your in singleplayer there are ways to cheat the tek engrams in

[proper wharf]

You should get all engrams from the lost island boss

I just googled it

Why didn't i get any from beta

Wait does alpha boss give all engrams from beta and gamma too

[rocky coral]

Alpha gives you all unlockable engrams mate

So if you did gamma or beta you get nothin cause you already have it

You dont need to do beta or gamma if you did an alpha

[rocky coral]

Yep

[proper wharf]

What bosses do i do then to unlock the rest

[rocky coral]

Rockwell from aberration gives you unique ones only from him like

Tek pod
Tek railgun
Tek dedi storage

Just google the different map bosses

Manticore gives you tek sword and shield

Some maps like center or valguero boss fights have a mix of 2-3 bosses so you unlock more

[tidal plinth]

I'm stil not able to feed my ferox i was able to feed it once but then it stopped

Idk what i'm doing wrong

[naive dust]

Ferox is one of the buggiest tames In the game. Might not be something you’re doing wrong.

[tidal plinth]

Oh okies

[fair wave]

The Overseer do you have to be a special lvl to do it? Like if I‘m lvl 100 and my is friend lvl 30 can he still join?

[polar sandal]

Mmm i believe you do have to be level 100 to be teleported.

[mild plover]

Alright I've been monitoring a wyvern trench for an hour now and eggs are just not spawning. Am I doing something wrong?

[polar sandal]

Single player/unofficial?

[mild plover]

Yes, singleplayer

[polar sandal]

What type of egg

Crystal
Regular
Deino

[mild plover]

Regular

[polar sandal]

Destroy Wyvern Eggs and Nests
cheat destroyall DroppedItemGeneric_FertilizedEgg_NoPhysicsWyvern_C 1 | cheat destroyall WyvernNest_C 1

They are inside the walls and or otherwize spoiled. Destroy them and either wait or use slomo

[mild plover]

Thanks, I'll try this

[polar sandal]

Those are two different commands dont run both same time. Seperately

[harsh vigil]

al sorry to be stupid but now i found the fjordur file and i need to know should i delete all the .ark files and change the anti corruption backup to .ark ? because im not seeing any .map ones

i was going to send a screenshot but it doesnt seem like i can

[polar sandal]

Only thing you should do is rename a bak to a map.

If there is no .map then you have no original for whatever reason.

Part of this wont apply to you

Nah just

Head to

\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\GenesisSavedArksLocal

For example if an TheIsland Savegame is corrupted.
You would look for TheIsland.ark and rename it to TheIsland_backup.ark
the you look for something similar to this: TheIsland_07.10.2017_14.12.35.bak
and rename it to TheIsland.ark

[harsh vigil]

ill give it a go

[polar sandal]

Delete the time stamp on the bak and just change the extention to .ark

I been saying .map and that is incorrect sorry

@harsh vigil

[harsh vigil]

all of my one that layout are .ark files

like fjordur 06.07.2023 20.55.44.ark

[polar sandal]

Is there more than one map name file, named the same with different time stamps

[harsh vigil]

yea

and then the only .bak ones are the anticorruption backup and newlauncherbackup , and ive tried to load the anticorruption as a .ark but it didnt work

[polar sandal]

Hmmm these file formats seem different than what im used to working with. Leave it to Microsoft.

[harsh vigil]

can i pm a screenshot of the file incase im just describing it really badly ?

[polar sandal]

Okie

[harsh vigil]

sorry i misstyped but i sent a screenshot of how the file was when i openned it

[polar sandal]

K drag fjordor.ark to your desktop. The top one

[slate minnow]

Corrupted files? Fix is pinned

[harsh vigil]

done

im stupid so al is helping me

[slate minnow]

Okok

Al good guy fr

[polar sandal]

Then do the one from 5/20/23 i guess. Seems... Like a file

Delete the time stamp so it now just says fjordor.ark

[polar sandal]

Hey cutie.

[harsh vigil]

sorry not to confirm but al do you format time day month year , ot month day year ?

doesnt matter

[polar sandal]

Your deleting the timestamp

Just use one from ... Not this month

[harsh vigil]

so basically rename the most recent with a date to fjordur.ark

[polar sandal]

Not the kost recent. Lil older

[harsh vigil]

theyre all from this month so ill do the second most recent

[polar sandal]

Sounds like a plan

[harsh vigil]

then just load the game ?

[polar sandal]

Hopefully!

[slate minnow]

Sus

[harsh vigil]

people have favourite characters in shows or games , but irl youre my favourite character

thank you so much man

and sorry that i wasnt grasping alot of it but i really appreciate you sticking with me

[polar sandal]

Rofl

Get it goin ?

[harsh vigil]

yea the save is back

bro thats saved so much effort and not just on fjordur since i also brought over my extinction character

[polar sandal]

Woot awesome.

[bronze steeple]

Hey so I just thought I'd ask but Is there a way to disable the command line in single players

I use it to save myself a lot so I don't really learn anything

[hasty wolf]

Just don’t use it I guess

You can’t really disable it

[bronze steeple]

I'd love to but its basically become a habit

[hasty wolf]

There’s a glitch though, where if you open the command bar, type something, then switch to another tab, press enter, and sometimes it disables it

I’m not sure if it’s been fixed though

[hollow chasm]

Hello and would like to ask if anyone got ways to delete specific player data. Got "Lost/Timeout Connection To Host" and I guess maybe there's some problem with the player data

[hasty wolf]

Deleting a specific survivor?

[hollow chasm]

yes

The problem is I was in the cave before leaving the personal server opened by my frd. When I came back, they left the cave and I couldn't join anymore.

[hasty wolf]

It’s some kind of game file wizardry, which I’m not too good at

This is from steam, not me:

For singleplayer, you can either die and make a new one or locate the Ark folder, find the Saved Arks folder in there and delete the player profile.

[hollow chasm]

and everytime I tried to join that server , I got "Lost/Timeout Connection To Host". But can join other server

[hollow chasm]

got it. Will try with it. Thanks for your help

[polar sandal]

Yes

Self control

[polar sandal]

This is likly not caused by player data.

But hey if it works it works

[hollow chasm]

Just deleted the player data. It works

[polar sandal]

Surprising! But good job

[proper wharf]

Guys ik how i unlock tek engrams permanently with commands one by one but how do I do it for my friend?

[polar sandal]

He would have to do it as well, or you can configure it through the ini as auto engram entries

A mod may be able to do this for you

[proper wharf]

I'm on Xbox

[hasty wolf]

enablecheats <password>

[dark hatch]

so my xbox nitrado server still isnt showing up on my server list

im on pc but im playing win10/xbox version

its not my filtering ive restarted it reinstalled it and it still doesnt show up

[brazen robin]

make sure you enabled crossplay, should be a checkbox somewhere.

[dark hatch]

do you know hwere that would be?

[brazen robin]

I don't, I've never rented from nitrado.

[naive dust]

A drop down arrow in the general tab

[weak canopy]

They will not listen to you well and they will not understand well and they will tell you this place is not a hell and they will tell you this place is a home.

[dark hatch]

Still not showing up

[dark hatch]

The server isnt i mean

[humble flax]

Do you have it under favorites?

[dark hatch]

Ive never even been on it yet

[viscid flax]

guys my friend is having trouble joining me in non dedicated he gets lost/timed out what causes this anyone know?

[rocky coral]

So many with similar probs unresolved...best i can say is

Are all of you Steam PC? No epic gamers?

[viscid flax]

yeah steam pc and we were playing normally then he crashed and couldnt join back

[rocky coral]

OOOOO i know this solution my man

You the host, close your game, restart your ark and host server again, dont ask me why it works

[viscid flax]

ok tysm bro

[rocky coral]

Every time your buddy disconnects like this u needa restart game as host

[viscid flax]

ok ty bro

[viscid flax]

didnt work oof

ty anyway

[rocky coral]

Whhha really
I remembered when this happened to me and my buddy if we disconnected just had to get host and me to close out our games
Restart steam, the game, and the server and it's fine again

You tried all that?

[viscid flax]

yeah we both restarted

he kept having the same issue over and over again

[rocky coral]

That's unfortunate... then not sure

[viscid flax]

ok ty anyway

[rocky coral]

Have you tried joining the hosts ip? Maybe

Joining using other means

[viscid flax]

how does that work?

[rocky coral]

Ill dm you a screenshot

[viscid flax]

ok

[clever trail]

guys i keep trying to launch a non dedicated session and hit accept and just nothing happens. its like i didnt do anything. it just closes that popup and is still in the world creation screen

ive restarted, restarted my pc, everything, it just WONT start a game

[rocky coral]

May i ask why you're trying to start this session?
You wana play with a friend?
Or solo?

[clever trail]

tryna play with my partner. and no im not interested in making a dedicated server or joining an existing one

nondedicated has just been the easiest option

[rocky coral]

Has your partner tried to start a non dedicated session then instead of yourself?

[clever trail]

yes

[rocky coral]

Ok have you tried this
In singleplayer load in the map you wanted

Then go back to start the non dedicated session using the map you loaded

[clever trail]

oh, nvm. i dont have the map. youd think itd tell me that

i couldve sworn i downloaded all the dlcs but i geuss not, thanks anyway tho

[rocky coral]

Well maybe that's your problem i guess

Have the map download and try starting the server then

[clever trail]

yeah, it is. thats why i said nvm.

[rocky coral]

👍

[cedar needle]

why does a megatherium im trying to tame have orange smoke coming out of its head

[rocky coral]

That's the megatheriums ability in effect
When it kills a bug it gains massive melee buff for like 2min
Hits like a truck, people can use it to fight Broodmother boss

[cedar needle]

alr

i got it down but died to troodons

[rocky coral]

Rip

[cedar needle]

got my stuff and im back here and am taming it pog

[dark hatch]

so i bought a server yesterday and ik its for the right version of ark and everything basic like that but i cant find it on my server list

crossplay is on

its nitrado for windows10/xbox

[rocky coral]

Do you have a server ip you can join from?

[dark hatch]

i dont think there is a way to direct connect

but yeah

[heavy delta]

if you have mods, his client side would need to install mods first, usually throws a time out error while installing

[bright mulch]

You looking for unofficial PC session? Do you have a password and if so did you tick the box to show servers with the password. Did to make sure the name of the server changed?

[dark hatch]

yep

[bright mulch]

You turn the server back on?

Also are you searching from your xbox or windows 10 ark?

[leaden needle]

Why are there no more official events besides for switch?

[dark hatch]

windows 10 ark and i have restarted an reinstalled already no difference

[bright mulch]

reintalling the server, sets everything back to default and turns off settings like crossplay

[dark hatch]

i redid the setting after

[bright mulch]

After a server is turned on it can take up to 10 mins before it appears on the search

[bright mulch]

What are the details of the server, I can try search for it on my xbox see if it at least appears there

[dark hatch]

server name should be luisserver

just like that

do you want the ip too?

[bright mulch]

nah you dont need ip on xbox

[cedar needle]

why do ppl have more males when getting mutations and only 1 female?

[bright mulch]

It is appearing on Xbox

The only reason it would not be appearing on the win 10 version is if cross play is disabled. But you said it is enabled, so I am unsure what is the issue is

[dark hatch]

me and you both

[tiny compass]

can someone join a vc and help me traverse through the swamp cave on the island?
im using a map but im still fkn lost

[dark hatch]

oh

i found it

i dont know what happened

[clever trail]

what does this mean?

Assertion failed: FontFace [File:F:\build\LostIsland\Engine\Source\Runtime\SlateCore\Private\Fonts\FontCache.cpp] [Line: 183]

it also has a bunch of other lines of stuff

[rocky coral]

It's a game crash?
No 1 bothers to interrupt what that actually means

[clever trail]

it also gives similiar errors when i try to start a game, but that one is when i opened it and it crashed immediately

[rocky coral]

You using mods? No right?
Maybe verify your game files

[clever trail]

im using mods

ive verified the files already

[rocky coral]

Alright that can cause issues

[clever trail]

my partner is also having problems. at first the game wouldnt be created because we didnt have the map but now the game just loads for like 30+ minutes not starting

ill try without mods

[rocky coral]

If your joining the host with mods
You needa make sure to install the mods before joining

Yh try without mods and see how it goes

[clever trail]

we've both tried making the game, when they do it it never makes it

yeah

its one of the mods. ty

ill be back soon when another issue eventually arises because holy sh*t i havent had this much trouble starting a game ever

[rocky coral]

💀glad you got it to work for you, and yh it's a shame how annoying it can be to play with a friend

[mental dome]

anybody got any idea how to get decent frames cuz im usually getting like 110 frames and its always at 90 thou I have a rx 6650 xt ryzen 5 3600 and 16gb ram so i dont see why i wouldnt be getting better im also at 1680 x 1050 res and 70% res scale trying to get 144 frames most of the time

[rocky coral]

The obvious being, turn down performance settings in ark

[mental dome]

what do you mean by that

[rocky coral]

There's settings when you hit escape to change the performance

Sky quality
Light bloom
Render distance
All of that stuff not set to low

[mental dome]

they are all on low

you want me to not have it on low?

[rocky coral]

No, u want it set to low
Some of the scroll wheels set to low
Like sky quality
Or un check light bloom box

[mental dome]

yes they are all on low and i was on 1650 x 1080 res and around 70% res scale

only getting around 110 fps

is there any way to get a stable 144 with my setup

[rocky coral]

Thats considered good for my standards of ark anyhow

But yh no clue, not a tech wiz

[mental dome]

alright thanks

[junior forum]

How much does Sniper Rifle Accuracy decrease when Hip-Firing? Is it still worth using or not when Hip-Firing.

[tight dock]

[topaz finch]

Hey there, just hatched an ice wyvern egg. It has meat in its inventory yet its food keeps dropping.

[topaz finch]

Oh great

[lime juniper]

anyone know why i can craft cryopods in my inventory on extinction?

[polar sandal]

Because they can only be crafted at a terminal or drop

[naive dust]

You can?

[polar sandal]

Wat

Oh. Rofl

Now, im confused as whats going on

[tight dock]

Ark connection issue, can’t connect to passworded servers

[polar sandal]

Why not

[azure umbra]

I don't really know if anyone else uses the awesome spyglass mod, but if someone here does, please help me, I can't get to turn off the outline that the mod gives when using the spyglass even after using WindowsNoEditor.

[slate minnow]

I think it's Shift+O

[tight dock]

It kicks me out and says connection timeout

[polar sandal]

If the password is correct just keep trying. You can do stuff like restart router, use a vpn,google dns, clear router cache

But the official response is
Just spam join

[candid rapids]

Is there some setting to adjust, too change how dark shadows are?
Atm im having to walk round with a torch till mid day

[molten falcon]

my game turend to chinese but it says its on english why?

[kind elbow]

Please help my character just got deleted. I’m a lvl 157 on scorched earth server 630.

[stone trail]

When you kill baby dinos on your dino to get him xp, does it matter if the dinos grow up or the level or what?

Like we jus mass kill baby gigas that seems ok

[shadow sage]

Hello, is there anyone here who could help me for a moment with my server settings? I tried following the ark wiki, but not everything works.

[naive dust]

What’s up?

[shadow sage]

So I started my server 2 weeks ago, and all in all I changed some things and they went perfectly. But now Im at the stage where im breeding dinosaurs and I want the baby maturing to speed up, but also that they ask faster for things so I get the max imprint.

I think (but not sure) they are maturing faster. But They still need 8 hours before they ask for something.

I can send you my game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini

I tried
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=25.0
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=30.0

and I also saw

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier

But regardless of if I put them in either of those 2 files. It doesnt seem to work

[uncut kite]

The cuddle interval should be below 1 to keep up with the faster maturation
You can see examples in #server-rates

[shadow sage]

Ill try that, thanks!

[naive dust]

Cuddle interval needs to go lower not higher.

Going higher increases the time between imprints

[shadow sage]

Yes, I missed that, thanks

[shadow sage]

For some reason it still doesnt reduce the timer

Still more then 7 hours before they want care

Ahh this might be it " However, it's important to note that the baby dinosaurs' initial care interval is fixed and cannot be modified directly."

Though that means that if you improve the maturing time, you will never be able to imprint

[naive dust]

The change won’t apply to timers that are already going when it’s applied.

If you hatch a new egg the baby will reflect the current multiplier

[lime juniper]

can craft

I know i shouldnt but i can

[shadow sage]

Just hatched a new laid egg. And also his timer before care is 8 hours

[naive dust]

is that the same as before you changed it?

[shadow sage]

yes

[naive dust]

what do you have the multiplier set to

[shadow sage]

MatingIntervalMultiplier=0.9
BabyMatureSpeedMultiplier=25.0
BabyCuddleIntervalMultiplier=0.1
BabyCuddleGracePeriodMultiplier=1.0
BabyCuddleLoseImprintQualitySpeedMultiplier=1.0
bDisableImprintDinoBuff=False
TamingSpeedMultiplier=500.0
HarvestAmountMultiplier=4.0

[harsh vigil]

so ive got 3 eggs that are ready to hacth in my incubator but when i press hatch nothing happens despite them being at 100%

[hasty wolf]

They have to be at 0%

[harsh vigil]

no i know that the bar on the eggs has to be at 0 but the incubator monitors on the front work up to 100 right ?

like when i look at the egg it says egg incubation 0% and the monitor on the actuall model of the incubator is flashing 100

ok thats odd i just kept spam clicking the hatch button and it eventually worked event tho they had been ready to hatch for the past hour

[shadow sage]

And do my settings need to be in game.ini or GameUserSettings.ini ? Now I have these settings in both

[naive dust]

game use

user

[naive dust]

are you adding the lines or adjusting whats already there?

if you add a line that already exists, then it just defaults to the first read variable

[hasty wolf]

Are you able to take the egg out?
