[rocky coral]

Technically R gigas are better
They got a melee boost
And cap lvl reaches lvl500

[dusty gull]

Hey so I just stole my first rock drake egg it’s a level 185 and I hatched it what are like the average stats the baby should have? Just trying to see if I got a good or bad one

[rocky coral]

Tamed dinos 40+ in stats is always great
Near 50 is godly

[dusty gull]

And how do you see how many levels are in a stat

[red olive]

I once tamed a giga with 65 points in melee

[rocky coral]

Official settings?
Cause iv never heard of that

[red olive]

Yeah, on arkpoc

[rocky coral]

Only ever heard of like 50smth tamed stat

[red olive]

It has almost a 0% chance of happening

[ancient thicket]

When you go on admin manager, there’s a bunch of numbers on the right of someone’s username. Is this their spec id?

[bright mulch]

dm when you get up

easy to sort stuff out

[obtuse rover]

I swear there is always smth off with this game

Why did my game get laggy all of a sudden in sp?

Its like 30ish fps

[coarse wedge]

i want to ask about a general question about a certain mod. i can't find an answer on any website. is it ok to ask here?

[brazen robin]

yes

[coarse wedge]

it's about the shiny mod. how do i get raw essence? i found that i have to kill enranged shiny, but how do i make it enranged, or do they come enranged when i find them?

i hope i don't need to prod them to make them enraged, cause i need the essense to make the prod, and i would need the prod to get the essence. a catch 22. lol

[brazen robin]

I believe enraged are just random spawns like the other ones

[obsidian sphinx]

The best I’ve gotten is 42 points pre tame 53 post tame and that was on a velo

But my game crashed and I got killed while logging back on

[red olive]

Yeah, ghats pretty good

[brazen robin]

I had 90 points on a deino (difficulty 10)

it was lvl 260 I think

[obsidian sphinx]

That’s insane

[brazen robin]

it was in oxygen

[obsidian sphinx]

Lol sounds about right

[brazen robin]

if only it was in any other stat lol

[frosty crag]

Why can’t I use red suit

Fed *

I have genesis installed

[brazen robin]

xbox/win10?

[frosty crag]

Win10

[brazen robin]

make sure you have all 3 parts to genesis installed. you may be missing the permissions file

[frosty crag]

3 parts?

Wdym

Microsoft store says it’s installed

[brazen robin]

on xbox/win10 there are 3 parts. gen1, gen2 and a permissions file. make sure you have all 3.

[frosty crag]

I have gen 1 and 2

[brazen robin]

if you are looking at the bundle's page it'll just say installed.

[frosty crag]

How do you get the permission file

[brazen robin]

look around for a "included in this bundle" area.

[frosty crag]

Ok

Would it be in the gen 1 bundle or the gen 2

[brazen robin]

there is only one genesis bundle.

[frosty crag]

Genesis season pass?

[brazen robin]

yes, it'll be under that. should say that.

[frosty crag]

It says owned

[brazen robin]

does it not say download? you may need to reinstall it then

seems its harder to fix on win10 then xbox.

[frosty crag]

I came from Xbox and logged into it on pc

I think I have all the maps downloaded except extinction and abb

I can dm you a pic of what mine says

[brazen robin]

the only ones that'll cause issues are the 3 genesis ones. ab and ext won't matter for permissions.

[frosty crag]

@brazen robin I dmed you a picture of what mine says

[brazen robin]

what does the genesis season pass - Desktop say?

in the page

[frosty crag]

Install

Would that be the problem?

[brazen robin]

yes

[frosty crag]

Sorry about that didn’t think the desktop one did anything

Thanks for helping

[frail cipher]

Hi on community crunch it says times two for all platforms, does that also include for switch? I just got ark for switch

[clever trail]

the way levesl work is that each level is harder to get than the next, up untill (dinos) reach a cap i believe. is there a mod anyone knows of that makes it that each level requires similiar amounts of xp and removes the level cap?

[tropic meteor]

switch is handled by a different company and has a separate discord

[frail cipher]

Oh okay thank you!

[dawn lichen]

been looking around for a rhynio for a bit, was wondering if there was a way to find them easier, like if they are hiding on the swamp floor, (on the island swamps btw)

[fringe rover]

You can do that yourself through ini, https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#Players_and_dinos_levels_override_related explains how

[clever trail]

oh lemme look

aaaa wtf i cant understand any of this lmaooo

[clever trail]

is there a video about how to do this anywhere?

[fringe rover]

I don’t think so, but basically you have to write LevelExperienceRampOverrides=(ExperiencePointsForLevel[<n>]=<points>, over and over where n is the level and points is the experience you want the level to need
The first time is for the character, the second is for dinos

Actually nvm found a vid, https://youtu.be/ruv5VLbp7bc

Keep in mind theres an extra 100 levels from ascension and notes so the player levels will need to go up to 205

[polar sandal]

Woh

Its a perry

[clever trail]

tysm!

[clever trail]

and i think there is a cap to the max level dinos can reach? is there a way to bypass that as well?

[naive dust]

Not on official. On unofficial there is no actual cap unless you set one. However you can still only apply 88 levels to a tame before it’s considered max.

[clever trail]

and there is no mod or way around the 88 level cap

[naive dust]

There’s gotta be some way to do it, I wouldn’t know but I’m fairly certain The Hunted mod bypasses it.

With that being said I will also say I’ve never had a tame hit 88 levels. That is a large amount of experience

[clever trail]

my end goal is to make mutation not needed, so i instead just go out and level a dino to like 400+ with the xp multiplier at like 10

what is the hunted mod

[naive dust]

It is a complete overhaul mod. It is unlikely to fit what you’re after as it changes the gameplay entirely and is extremely difficult.

[clever trail]

aw

[naive dust]

I was just using it as an example of a mod that does what you’re looking for

I’d search in steam for mods that affect Dino levels.

[plush berry]

So is it for sure that other maps have better lvl spawns than the island. Cause I’ve tried so many methods and for the life of me can’t find a baryonix above 90. I’m to the point of spawning one in (wild so I still have to tame it)

I mean I don’t wanna cheat but this sucks so much

[naive dust]

It may be all story maps. Does Xbox not have access to ini?

[plush berry]

What’s ini

[naive dust]

Game files

[plush berry]

Yeah I don’t think we do

Do custom maps have bosses ?

I mean I just got a 145 sarco so I know it’s possible but I’m sick and tired of searching for 3 hours to find a tame lol

I mean I don’t think it’s technically cheating considered I still have to take the Dino

I mean, are there any Xbox players hear that experience the same issues or no more about it for Xbox?

[naive dust]

If you’re seeing wild 145s you’re max level is fine. It’s just bad rng that you’re not finding high level baryonyx

[naive dust]

Yes they do

[plush berry]

But a different maps have better Spaans, because I mean people are always saying Heather taming all these high-level creatures, and I watch things on people tell me all the side of a creatures, and I literally can barely ever find them

Like if I try to set out and find a high lvl creature it will take me at least 2 hours

[naive dust]

Island is by far the worst for finding high levels. It’s ratios heavily favor low level. There’s nothing wrong with your difficulty. Just kill all the low levels you find and everything else in the area and eventually a high level bary will spawn

[plush berry]

I’ve been murdering everything for the past 2 hours

The highest lvl was a 90

What’s the highest lvl spawning map. I wanna do that one next 😂

Damn apperently the island is known for its shit spawns along with other story maps

What’s the dif between a story map and a custom map

[naive dust]

Story maps were made by wildcard. Custom maps are extremely popular mod maps that wildcard implemented into the official game.

[plush berry]

I mean is it really a bad thing to spawn in a Dino after 3 hours of searching. I mean it would be as if I found it in the wild and tamed it right

I just don’t like cheating but I feel like unless I spend my life on this game I ain’t gonna get anywhere

[naive dust]

That’s for you to decide. It’s your play through. In my experience every playthrough where I used commands I would continue to find justification for using more commands until it inevitably ruined it. You gotta have the hard times to make the good times worthwhile in my opinion

[plush berry]

So you have had times where you have used commands ?

I mean I totally see what your saying but sometimes it feels like it’s not even worth playing when you spend your time finding nothing ya know

[naive dust]

Oh yeah. Many many times.

[plush berry]

Like I’m single player spawning Dino’s like I did

See you feel like there’s a difference between spawning a Dino tamed in spawning one that you have to team because you still have to make a trap or something to tame it you don’t just immediately get it

[naive dust]

One thing I found that did help, was instead of just using the command I would pose a challenge for myself. For example defeating a gamma boss would award me with a single command.

[plush berry]

WOAH YOU SMART

[frail siren]

Is there no way to take spinos into the tek cave? I've tried walking them in and cryoing and try to throw them just past the entrance but I can't use the pod just inside the cave

[short marsh]

Cryos used to work just inside the entrance

[naive dust]

They patched cryos and tek cave at some point. I used to be able to stealth nearly the entire cave and uncryo boss tames right near the end where the last giga spawns but it no longer allows that.

[short marsh]

Huh, so what dinos are people using now?

[dense kestrel]

can u clone the big space whales?

[naive dust]

I don’t think they fit in the cloner lol

[coarse wedge]

if gaia and paranoid is in the server at same time, what weapon is the best out of those 2?

[naive dust]

Uh. What?

[coarse wedge]

ascendant iron poson spear from gaia hits harder than primitive infected pike from paranoid, but what other choices are there that are even stronger?

[naive dust]

I’m assuming this is a mod thing that I don’t understand. Apologies

[coarse wedge]

np. just checking if anyone knew.

[keen marsh]

Is there some kind glitch on PvE Servers? I started a new character on a "Island" map. The next day coming back to play again, the character is gone. The server doesn't even register I had a character on it prior.

[spiral chasm]

First time running the alpha bosses on the Island, and I'm pushing all of them with Rexes. Is 132 mastercraft saddle bp good enough or should I get another one?

[fringe rover]

If you mean the 88 tamed dino levels, just keep adding lines from what I already explained until n=whatever number you want it to be

[fringe rover]

Very good, especially for mastercraft

[spiral chasm]

Oh, thank you! now to survive crafting the things

[slim oriole]

i need help

i cant load into lost island, it loads for a bit then stops
and puts me back to the menu to choose diff arks
its only for lost island too

[clever trail]

I see, tyty

[clever trail]

Same, if anyone knows pls ping me as well

[cobalt crest]

I got some help from another discord server, try putting ( -preventhibernation ) in launch options, just the thing in ()

[plain stag]

Check the pinned messages for a crash walk through.

[clever trail]

Okay, tyvm you two

[halcyon marsh]

my MatingSpeedMultiplier ini setting is not working in singleplayer

[lean junco]

whats the best way to look for gigas on the island? i dont want to use commands

[plush berry]

Just tried the cave of hope would somebody help explain to me how tf I do this. There are lvl 270 mega and alphas everywhere not to mention dunkleosteus. They killed both my 250 sarco and my 259 Baryonyx

I trapped an alpha mega on the shore and even with a red he is taking forever to kill

[halcyon marsh]

Basilo and do not try to fight anything

[plush berry]

How do you not fight anything they’re literally everywhere they’ll just kill you before you can even do anything not to mention electric eels

Do the water caves eventually end up on land?

[halcyon marsh]

Basilos are immune to eel and jelly stuns. And squid grabs

Tame a good male and female and then breed them and imprint the baby. That way you get a speed bonus and you should be able to swim past most things. They also have a ton of health in the case that you do get stuck fighting something

[plush berry]

But there’s so much loot in the caves that if I were to want to get it all and end up having to fight things, what’s the point in making a single player Cave if it’s physically impossible for somebody to do it

I mean the only guy I have currently seen while researching it that is actually done. The Cave is using to massive octopus things that are almost level 300 and are literally wiping out everything inside.

Can you tame stuff like that level 270 megalodons that are found in the caves because wouldn’t that put it at like a level 300 something after taming

[lean junco]

after taming it would be lvl 400

if 100% taming effectivness its 1/2 of the wild lvl

so lvl 200 would be lvl 300 after taming and 100% taming effectiveness

[plush berry]

So then it’s worth taming stuff in caves like that ?

[lean junco]

idk if you can tame cave creatures. With awesome spyglass it says they arent tameable

[molten falcon]

Can you find Tropeognathus on the Valguero map?

Wiki says nothing about it but people claim they do but idk haven't found reliable sources

Also rock drake

[lean junco]

according to wiki neither spawn on valguero

[plush berry]

So what starts do you guys use for clearing the cave of hope on the island. I heard one about using the dolphin and just zoomin past everything and another about using the giant squids and killing everything

What’s the pro methods

[lean junco]

is cave of hope the ocean cave in the east?

[plush berry]

Yeah I think so Basically just the one with a s**t ton of megalodon’s that are level almost 300 and a bunch of alphas and a bunch of dunkleosteus.

And electric eels it’s absolutely ridiculous

[lean junco]

i do a basilo and an army of megs when i want to kill things in there. Thats where i go to farm black pearls. But if youd like to just get the artifact do a basilo and just stay at the top of the cave. try not to aggro anything. Basilos are pretty tanky tho if you do. Also if youre unaware the artifact is like halfway through the cave rather then at the end.

Youd wanna level a bit into stam too so you can always get away from creatures that do aggro

[plush berry]

How many megs cause I literally went in there with almost to level 300 Barry, onyx and ASARCO and a megalodon, and it killed literally everything

There’s just too many of them, and I can’t ever seem to find high-level spawns on this map, so it’s basically impossible to develop an army

[lean junco]

Again thats if you want/need to kill everything. And i went in there with 7 and they were half of max lvl

Tho i leveled them 73 times each since i have a bunch of rexes mating and i just kill 50 of their babies 🙂

[halcyon marsh]

what map is this

also no you can’t tame most cave creatures. If you want something that high level you would have to mutate it

[plush berry]

Island

[plush berry]

Wait is thst how you Lvl farm

You kill red babies

[lean junco]

yes. kill babies. ideally giga babies but rexes are do just as fine

i have my mate settings way up so

[plush berry]

Ahhhhhh sweet thanks man

[plush berry]

Same here

[halcyon marsh]

Oh yeah get a basilo for that cave. It is so much less difficult when you can’t be stunned.

Also if its an Overspawn issue there is no shame in doing a dino wipe to make it fair

[halcyon marsh]

Do yuties they give WAYYY more xp

just found that out the other day

[molten falcon]

How do I get Green / Blue gems on the Valguero aberration zone if the suit I need is crafted with those 💀

Gas too

[halcyon marsh]

I know green gems and gas veins are in the fertile region

I imagine blue gems are there too

[lean junco]

i dont got yutys like i do rexes but ill tame some up and give it a try

cuz i use rexes for bosses so i tame them all up and have 50 rexes breeding at once and it makes a bunch of babies for me to 🔪

[plush berry]

So I’m trying to get a higher lvl Rex saddle before attempting a boss fight but I can’t find any anywhere. Any good way to get it you guys do ?

[cold gale]

I just farm Ragnarok for a while for saddles

[plush berry]

Like transfer your character to ragnorok

[halcyon marsh]

you want a yuty for bosses as well anyway

[clever trail]

i tried pretty much all the things to get ark to stop crashing but sure enough, randomly, but usually about an hour into playing, it will freeze for like 10 seconds and crash

itll say like Assertion failed: *RequiresInitialization == 0 and a bunch of other stuff

[plush berry]

Wait I can’t kill off baby Rex with my takes if PVE is on right

[plush berry]

So I’ve been killing all my baby Rexis and leveling up my dinos, but I was wondering how I could kill baby roaches with water dinos I mean without claiming them and then leading them to water and then I’m claiming them. Is there any other efficient way?

[cobalt crest]

make a small little underwater base if you have access to tek stuff, if not just build a little platform near the water where your water tames can hit and just drop the eggs there.

[molten falcon]

Need help, I can't progress

I heard about some gems that were outside the radiation zone but apparently a patch fixed that and they're all in the radius

[plain stag]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Resource_Map/Valguero

[vague karma]

So when do I start trying to find “the perfect base location”

[molten falcon]

Like I said the gems are all underground and can't access that zone without dying due radiation

[plush berry]

So does summoning different level bosses, such as gamma and stuff like that require different artifacts or just different tributes

Also, would you say it’s considered cheating to transfer to other worlds to tame creatures and then bring them back to your world?

[bright mulch]

its not

folks do it all the time

[bright mulch]

correct

[plush berry]

So, how does it work?

Do you just like put in the items and stuff you want to transfer but I heard that when you load in you have to wait for things to spawn

[bright mulch]

There guides on youtube that explain how to transfer between worlds, would be able to explain it better than I can in text

[plush berry]

Thanks homie

Also, I had an issue a while back and I don’t know if I still have it, but I would load into this world and not even the nests of wyvern’s will spawn

Like no egg and no nest nothing

[bright mulch]

In saying that Ill try my best and I'm going to use official for this explanation because it's easier. Transfer to another map by going to the obelisk. Then, on the other map, locate and tame the creature you desire. Return to the obelisk with the creature and select upload creature in the terminal. Return to your main server and download the creature.

[bright mulch]

It takes a long time for eggs/nests to spawn

especially if you are on singleplayer

[lean junco]

my game crashes like 1/3 times i kill one of my own dinos

[still nova]

is the desert dome on extinction supposed to be like 16 degrees? i went for a quick visit and was surprised at how placid the temperature was

the city's like twice as hot

[plush berry]

So I have one question I’ll try to put it as simple as possible but if I transfer my character from one world to another map, I have never played before and build stuff. Will it automatically save that progress to the map and then when I go to do another play through on that map all the progress. I’ll still be there.

Basically does world progress save even if you’re on the world with different characters

[plush berry]

Also, I’m wondering when I’m gonna be needing for the brood mother Bossfight on beta. I have 20 Rex all with 15 k HP and 500% attack ?

That enough

All normal saddles lol

[clear gust]

there should be pocalypse servers for oc

[plush berry]

Also can you have multiple world saves at one time. So like could I have a world on the island and abberation all at once

With different characters but would I be able to go between the 2 with the same character

[naive dust]

Wait disregard

[plush berry]

So if I transfer my one character to a map I’ve never played on it will create a save. Then if I go to that map later on with a different character it will load it into that same save ?

[plush berry]

Sry forgot to ping lmao

[naive dust]

I misunderstood. The world file is map specific. You can have one per map. You can have multiple survivors without issues so long as they’re never on the same map at the same time.

[plush berry]

Ahhh ok. But if I transfer one character to a different map that already has a save will it load me into that save

Like if I have a big world on the island and I tranfer a character that was on abberation will it load me into my island save or overweight it and wipe all of my progress

[pastel garnet]

How do I do selective stat breeding

[naive dust]

Yes. But you won’t be in your tribe

[plush berry]

Ok sweet but im will put me in my save world

Sry just double checking

[molten falcon]

if i get an ascension in hardcore then die do i keep the ascension implant

[naive dust]

Yeah it’ll be the same save, all your structures and tames will be their. But to use them on a different survivor you’ll have to add him to your main survivors tribe

[plush berry]

Thanks goo

[plush berry]

Are griffins fast cause I hate flying slow on my argy

Are they a worthy tame

Also is fjordour free

Also are there wyverns

Sorry about all the questions lol

[plain stag]

Yes to all 4 questions

[plush berry]

So it says I have genesis 1 and 2 when I’m in the loading screen but when I go to the store it says I don’t. But fjordour is free ?

[plain stag]

Did you download Genesis?

Yes, Fjordur is free.

[plush berry]

Well it looks like it’s playable but I’ve never bought it

[plain stag]

Do you have gamepass?

[plush berry]

No lol

In the main menus does it list options of all maps even if you don’t have them

Like lists the options but they may not be playable

[plain stag]

I believe so, yes.

[molten falcon]

How to increase taming speed so that Kibble wont become obsolete? What elese do i need to decrease/increase ?

[plush berry]

So if I have a character ok abberation and one on the island. If I decide to tranfer my one to the island to abberation will it delete the abberation character

I heard somebody say this is tru a video

I have also heard it’s pretty buggy and can delete your stuff

[naive dust]

It will force you to pick between the two. The one you don’t pick will be deleted. At no point do you want 2 survivors on the same server.

[plush berry]

Damn that sucks

[candid hazel]

Transfer the one on aberration to the island , it will say you have a character there already and if you want to replace it , select no/cancel and the character will stay on the cloud and you will spawn with the island one, now you can transfer to aberration .
You could also transfer the one on aberration to a different map but do not spawn, that will also leave it on the cloud , if you are worried of replacing the one on the island by accident

[ancient harness]

I made a character yesterday on ps4 ark on official small tribes. I got it to lvl 70 and come back the next day to press join last played server. It took me to a random server. I now cant find my character. Can any1 help?

[wraith ivy]

Maybe it was wiped?

[bronze rain]

Ark map not loading, already validated files, restarted multiple times, uninstalled and reinstalled. Any help? It loads me in but when i spawn my character its stuck on this white loading screen

[ancient harness]

Ty for help. Found it after system restart

[cedar needle]

so im installing maps and i have 40 gigs of storage and im able to download 60 gigs?

[slate minnow]

That shouldn't be right

Some stuff will get omitted probably

[nimble badger]

Someone knows how to fix baby corpses falling under the map? (Abberant megalos on abberation btw)
I let them die on ceilings, foundations, nothing at all, air conditioners, even compost bins. Also tried killing them with a creature, shotgun and even grenades

Its causing to much lag, ive been breeding for a long, long time now so yea

And the decompose timer is just way to long on any dino corpse

[humble zephyr]

does leveling a velo in meele give it more dmg when shooting?

[still nova]

is anyone here a wizard with singleplayer rates? trying to figure out the numbers so i can imprint fully

what interval multiplier will i need for 10x maturing speed?

[plain stag]

The beacon app link in the pinned messages in #unofficial-setup-help is super helpful.

[still nova]

ty 🙏

[lean junco]

is there a general rule in order to get the maturation speed and imprint settings to work well together? with my current settings i can imprint somethings but for my direwolves, i cant

[plain stag]

BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=10
In your game.ini should give you 1-3 imprints no matter what maturation

[lean junco]

and this will allow for full imprint?

[plain stag]

It should yes.

[lean junco]

alright thank you

[still nova]

where's the imprintamountmultiplier setting? i can't find that one

[still nova]

also, the ingame menu only lets me do this to 3 decimal points...

[plain stag]

Manually add it to your game.ini

[still nova]

ahhhh mmm

[plain stag]

Do the first 3.

[still nova]

i forgot where the game ini is 🤔

ark > shootergame > ?

found it

[still nova]

bred a unicorn and i think the babys gonna grow up before i can imprint on it once...

it says like 13 min ish till imprint and i think its growing too fast to do that

[plain stag]

That is the cuddle interval recommended for your maturation.

Beacon automatically sets it.

[still nova]

...beacon?

oh wait yeah the app

i forgot what that thing was called yeah

so how am i supposed to set it to something thats gonna give me time to imprint...

the unicorn is probably only gonna take like 8 minutes to grow, i wont be able to imprint this

erm

[lean junco]

its 30k hp and 4000 attack and ascendant saddles good enough for alpha dragon on difficulty 20. I have a yuty and a daedon. I know dragon does percent based damage so i was thinkintg low hp and then use daedon a lot. use my yuty to auto courage

[red olive]

Difficulty 20? I would think you want better hp, but it'll probably be fine

Don't bring a daedon into the fight unless people will be riding it

[lean junco]

ok

[lean junco]

i have rexes that are 80k health and 3500 attack i use those for brood and mega with ascendant saddles. should i just use those?

[red olive]

I mean, if you have them already. Don't use them if you can't replace them though. The dragon kills rexes like a kid eats Legos

[lean junco]

i have therizinos too. but the getting mutations is hard

i have a 15k hp, 700 attack with no level ups

[red olive]

Those are better, but you can do it with rexes. I would recommend theris for the overseer though

[lean junco]

overseer tributes stay in the terminal right?

[red olive]

Theris need 21k hp (no more), with veggy cakes, and then load them full of melee

[lean junco]

what attack do your recommend?

[red olive]

Well, above 1500 for diff 20, maybe 2000? The thing with the dragon is to just kill it asap

[lean junco]

i got 2600

21k hp and 2600 attack

when i get to se ima definitely drop my difficulty to 6 so more people can help lmao

[red olive]

Should be good if you have a good saddle. Don't forget the veggy cakes though

[lean junco]

i have ascendant saddles. and around 20 veggie cakes per good? should i take a yuty?

[red olive]

Yeah take a yuti, just be aware that the dragon will target the yuti, so ride it, and use that to your advantage

[lean junco]

ok, ill try not to die then.. thats tricky

lots of med brews i assume

[red olive]

Yeah, bring good flak, the soups, and watch out for dimorphs and fire balls

[lean junco]

flak? i was gonna take ghillie

[red olive]

You'll want flak, the dimorphs hit your character and do a lot of damage

[lean junco]

yeah, considering theyre gonna be up to lvl 1200 im not excited for it

i just hope i dont die because giga hearts are so annoying to farm

[red olive]

For the overseer you can try gamma first to get used to it

[lean junco]

but the tributes get taken or no?

[red olive]

Yeah, so you only want to do the alpha once

[lean junco]

also im not doing gamma drag so i cant

im only doing alpha drag

but i might just try gamma drag to see how it goes tbh

[polar ruin]

dragon isn't hard but it's easy for things to go horribly wrong

dinos swimming in lava, the fire breath hitting you, not bringing full armor and getting hit by dimorphs, getting yourself surrounded by your tames and stuck as the fireball comes at you

[lean junco]

how do i assure that nothing goes wrong

[polar ruin]

bring good flak armor, with backup set

bring med brews

and practice controlling your dinos in large groups

i've seen a few runs go bad when an attack whistle sent the boss dinos into the lava river

or when your dinos are attacking the pteras and dimorphs, and surrounding you to the point you can't move

[lean junco]

well i was going to stay away from the dinos until i needed to courage roar. and i was only gonna have them attack drag when it was close to them or me first

[red olive]

Practice by doing the gamma

[lean junco]

alright, i just need artifacts so ill do that

[plush berry]

So I have 20 fully imprinted Rex with 15k Hp and around 500 melee and primitive saddles. I also have a yuti. I was wondering if this is enough to fight brood mother beta ?

[red olive]

Highly doubt thar

[plush berry]

Hugh

[lean junco]

probably want 30k+ health and 1500+ melee

idk what difficulty youre on

but i remember when i did diff 10 i did 50k health and 2000 melee so im guesstimating

[red olive]

For beta you can get by with 700 melee, but the hp should be like 20k and you need a good saddle

[lean junco]

@red olive is 20 cakes in each theri good?

[red olive]

Yeah

[plush berry]

I’ve looked so many times what do I do for red saddles

I can’t find advanced saddles anywhere

[red olive]

You need to go in caves and run them a lot

[lean junco]

Also ocean drops are good. Ive had the best lucky finding things in the north east ocean cave. but its dangerous

[red olive]

Yeah, ocean caves are good

[plush berry]

I can’t do it yet it’s to dangerous

Any other ways

[lean junco]

just go into caves and get their drops

like raq said run them a lot

[plush berry]

Can you re run caves ?

Also I never find more than 1 supply drop in the caves

[lean junco]

yes

[lean junco]

unlucky then. keep looking. go on the wikis they have maps of the caves and it shows drop locations

[lean junco]

how do i get the honey on trees with my direbear when the tree platform goes to high on ti

[plush berry]

Do structures decompose in single player ?

Also if PVP or PVE is enabled can Dino’s hurt your structures ?

[steel mauve]

Is it better to not ride the titans during the king titan fight

[lean junco]

my game crashed during dragon fight

i was so close to killing it

[plush berry]

😦 damn man

[lean junco]

it swallowed everything of mine

can i go to before i went into the boss?

[plush berry]

If your on PC next time before you go into the boss room make a save file to a different folder so that you can go back into that save incase you fail

Other than that I wish I could help ya homie

[plush berry]

Hey guys I’m testing soemthing does anybody know how to give a Dino I’m riding I fastest or god mode

HOLY CRAP HOW DO I KILL A MOSASOR

[lean junco]

by hitting it with a dino until it dies

[naive dust]

Just use its depth ceiling against it

[plush berry]

Dood they can kill me even with my 50k hop

HP Bali

[naive dust]

Mosa will only swim so high. If you get low on hp swim up and let your basi heal

You need better saddles if wild Dino’s are killing your tames btw

A 50k hp basi should be soloing alpha mosa

[plush berry]

Dude, he has 50,000 HP in 500% attack but with a beesapple and he was doing like no damage

I mean, is it normal for them to take a while to kill cause I couldn’t really see his damage output to me

[naive dust]

Mosa do have a lot of health

[plush berry]

So what’s your guises method of leveling up your ocean tames in ark?

[naive dust]

Murdering alphas

[plush berry]

Dood I’m teh cave there was a lvl 230 alpha mosasour how tf am I gonnna kill that thing

My 50k Bali ain’t gonna do crap

[naive dust]

Oh you don’t level on cave alphas

A 230 alpha will murder you

[lean junco]

i hatch my rexes in the water and kill them with my ocean mount

[plush berry]

Is there any way to heal your Dino’s well they are on the go ?

[plush berry]

So then how you kill them ?

[lean junco]

only herbivores have this ability but only with veggie cakes

[naive dust]

Basi will heal automatically when they’re not in deep water, to speed the process up though you can force feed them fish meat.

[plush berry]

How do you hatch them in the ocean ?

[lean junco]

you can place air conditioners in the ocean

i get the egg super low on land first, then put it in the ocean

[plush berry]

YOOOOO you smart

[molten falcon]

Guys I need some help please. I have ARK on Steam and my friend has it on Epic. Did we do something wrong or is it impossible for us to play on a non dedicated session (my single player world)? No matter what I do he can not find my session

[quartz chasm]

if a baby needs some stupid kibble for more imprint is there any way i can get it to like something else

[steep flare]

Cryopod and un cryopod it

[quartz chasm]

it worked thank you

[steep flare]

You are welcome

[robust sierra]

Hey!! I got a male giga lvl 191 current and when i first tamed it it was lvl 134 and when i saw it is was lvl 90. A female current lvl 122, tamed lvl 52 and found lvl 35.
They bred and i got a female lvl 136 with 17k hp and 104% melee. Is it worth inprinting or should i breed furder?

It has 0 mutations btw

You know what i am just gonna breed further and use the bad babies to lvl up my theri

[nimble badger]

Well for what purpose you want the giga?

[robust sierra]

To do the tek cave and they are cool

[nimble badger]

Fair enough, you remember you cant bring them into the boss fight

[robust sierra]

Yeah i do

[nimble badger]

The tek cave can be done on a mid giga

[robust sierra]

Owh

[nimble badger]

You dont need like a 250 giga

that 191 should do honestly

[robust sierra]

Yeah, but it is a flex to have one

[nimble badger]

yea alright

Well if you want a very good giga, that 35 giga wont do, at all

[robust sierra]

And how higher they are the more xp they give

[nimble badger]

You need a giga with high health, and high melee

Then breed those to get combined stats for a higher level giga

[robust sierra]

Yeah but the newly born one is a lot higher

[robust sierra]

Okay thx!

[nimble badger]

Does it have any of the stats of the 35 one?

There are a lot of guides on breeding and mutations and stuff

[robust sierra]

Idk, it has lower melee then both

[nimble badger]

Exactly, honestly I dont think the 35 one has any better stats than the other one

[robust sierra]

But is it possible to get a female giga with the males stats?

[nimble badger]

Simple explanation:
Giga 1: Giga 2:
Bad Health Super good Health
Super good melee Bad melee

Breed those to get the Super good health and the super good melee. The value of the stats are distributed to a random stat for each level. A level 5 dino will have a stat point in 5 random stats.
The higher the stat point, the better the value. If you get a giga lvl 100 with 40 points into melee, and another with 40 points into health, if you get both onto 1 dino they will have both, thus a total level increase.

[robust sierra]

Thx! This is very helpfull!

[nimble badger]

Technically, yeah. But this requires luck.

A baby will have a 55% chance of getting the better stat, so basically its kinda random

[plain stag]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Breeding
https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Mutations

[nimble badger]

That also works i guess

[nimble badger]

oh and btw, any points that went into movement speed dont make a difference. It will always stay at 100% except if you level it manually or if you messed with your settings.

Kind of just wasted level

[cedar needle]

anyway i can uncomplete quests on genesis 2?

[left lintel]

What should I use for artifact of the shadows on aberration

[plush berry]

sorry guys I had my stuff wrong. I was wanting to fight gamma broodmother the easiest one. Would 20 rex (fully imprinted) with 20k and 500% HP with primitive saddles and a yuti be ok for this fight ?

[robust sierra]

Hmm i would breed a little more for some melee

[plush berry]

Ahhh ok how much melee you think would be good ?

Also will the spiders attack me on my yuti or my Rex

[bright belfry]

can i join anybodys tribe

[plush berry]

Also how do you get Rex to surround broodmother in a circle

What’s the point of fighting different lvl bosses EX gamma beta and alpha

[cedar needle]

beta gives tek builds and gamma loot and alpha unlocks 1 piece of tek armor

nvm just checked beta gives the armor

[sage girder]

Higher difficulty gives more element, unlocks more engrams and different trophy head ranks

[dull sparrow]

Hey guys how can admin accept commands? Like if i try to activate gamma 9, appears a button who is writen request admin, how admins can accept that?

[sage girder]

Get some to follow you around to the back of the broodmother or have squad’s in different whistle groups, which is honestly just more work than it’s worth

[sage girder]

Give yourself admin

Or enable cheats through the command

[plain stag]

Do you have an admin password set up?

[dull sparrow]

I dont know what is that

[plain stag]

Okay, we'll just walk through some questions first.

Are you on someone's dedicated/unofficial server?

[dull sparrow]

No, i am at non-dedicated

[plain stag]

Is it your own non-dedicated?

[dull sparrow]

No

[plain stag]

You will need to ask the person that set it up if they added a password

[dull sparrow]

Ok

[robust sierra]

Probally rex if you take some distance

[robust sierra]

Get 1 half in a tame order group and the other half, first go right in front off the boss and whistle attack target. Then take the other half and get behind it.

[robust sierra]

Like 750?

[plush berry]

How do take ordering groups work I’ve never used one

[robust sierra]

What do you play on?

Console?

Oh

[violet solstice]

Hey guys I’m trying to play non-dedicated with a friend of mine and whenever I try to join I end up timing out even though I did make it into the server

Any of you guys know how to fix this issue?

[lean junco]

how do i make a save for my world in case fighting the boss crashes

[sand rose]

Just make a backup

[lean junco]

how

just copy the SavedArksLocal folder?

[sand rose]

You do it outside of the game, then you got to go to properties, installed files, make backup

[lean junco]

and where do i find this backup?

[woeful fjord]

Why do I timeout on my normal internet but not with vpn. Currently. I can’t join any sever unless I’m on vpn. I’ve tried everything from the troubleshooting page

[brazen robin]

backups are done manually, you copy the save folder and then replace it if you want to go back.

[lean junco]

alright thank you

[nimble badger]

Anyone know how to spawn in blueprints? drops on my world are unopenable cuz they just hover mid air and dissapear after a while. I can see what was in them with awesome spyglass. I think its fair to just spawn them in cause its a bug I can't do anything about.

[plain stag]

Gfi <itemname> <quantity(number value)> <quality(value between 1-10)> <blueprint(1 for yes, 0 for no)>

[nimble badger]

Ah thank you man.

[plain stag]

So

Gfi oneshotrifle 1 10 1

Would give 1 ascendant longneck rifle blueprint

[nimble badger]

Oh alright

Thanks a lot for helping, it's been an issue that loot drops would just land underground or mid air

[plain stag]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/GFI_Codes for a full list

[nimble badger]

Thanks!

[lean junco]

i used therizinos for dragon and i just did gamma drag. They all survived but some are on 3k health and other are on a minimum of 17k health. Is it worth to try to do alpha or no?

[plush berry]

Could I do a dragon boss fight gamma with primitive saddles

19 REX fully imprinted 20k health and 600% melee and 1 Yuti wich is also a ton of health and Stamina

[lean junco]

im going to say probably not

[plush berry]

Damn I know I can hear broodmother with that what would you say I should change for dragon

[lean junco]

admittedly idk numbers but that just seems really low

[plush berry]

I mama for gamma broodmother 20-25 k health’s bud 600% attack is pretty solid but it’s dragon not brood lol

[north monolith]

Can someone help me, i played on fjordur yesterday, today i can't play because it crashes while loading the map and mentiones something about lost island

[naive dust]

The lost island seen on crash screens has nothing to do with the map.

[north monolith]

oh ok

I dont even know what happens but this happened before and i lost the world, had to delete it

I have the log in a screenshot but i cant send it so

[quartz chasm]

if i cuddle with my baby rex it will only imprint 1 or 2 procent, is there like a setting or something to make that 1 or 2 procent more(except more cuddling)

[viscid flax]

guys why cant my brother play scorched earth on his ps4 he should have it but for some reason whenever he tries to join it sends him to ps store but he doesnt see download button there anyone know why?

[dusty gull]

For single player I believe it’s called cuddle multiplier? Could be wrong on the name but there is for sure a way to change it because I did awhile ago

[brazen robin]

add BabyImprintAmountMultiplier=Num in game.ini.

[lean junco]

i was fighting a tuso by the ocean border and it picked me up then threw me outside the border and now me and my meg are dead and our bags are gone. anyway to fix this and go back and get my things?

[misty rover]

guys how do i get stone so i can craft a pick axe

[bronze knot]

Pick the rocks up on the beach

[misty rover]

ok thanks

[misty rover]

how do i get fibre

[cyan harbor]

Where is the best place to find basilisks / alpha basilisk on Abb ???

[plain stag]

Hold Y if you're using a controller (hold E if keyboard) to gather bushes

[nimble badger]

Honestly, green zone. Above the fertile lake. They are just really, really rare so dont be surprised if you cant find one.

[stray summit]

a really stupid question, how can I get sand on Fjordur?

[bright mulch]

not sure where to get sand from but if you need clay, the Asgard region is full of it to harvest it seems

[stray summit]

Looks like the Aberration zones. But I need specifically sand for mirror

[plain stag]

All over the beaches in Midgard, there are piles that you can harvest by hand

Salt and sand

Iirc

[stray summit]

sand on beaches. I swear, ARK is the only game where it does not make intuitive sense

[plain stag]

Well now I'm seriously doubting myself tbh so like....if I'm wrong I'm sorry I swear I remember picking up sand but I'm also not able to get on atm to check

[stray summit]

found some. It looks more like a hangover shit than sand

[plain stag]

But it is sand?

[stray summit]

yep. The piles don't give much though

[plain stag]

Okay whew, I suddenly got really worried XD, at least there is sand though, there should be quite a lot of piles

[misty rover]

just died to a raptor... that shit was not fun

[gaunt skiff]

Regarding single player, I saved a copy of my saved folder onto a different device as I was uninstalling Ark to make space while I waited for my new SSD. I want to play again now it is reinstalled but there have been patches released since the version I was using when I copied my save folder. Can I still just copy paste my saved folder to replace the fresh one in the newly reinstalled files? Or will it cause issues due to different patch versions?

[brittle inlet]

Why doesnt ListenServerTetherDistanceMultiplier=10000.000000 work?

windows

[bright mulch]

That only works for Steam or epic game players

[cinder sorrel]

So i'm trying to join a server i was on last night when my ark just seems to not wanna load any servers, like at all, no non dedicated no officials, no unofficialls its just a no sessions found
and before you ask this is an Xbox app windows 10 version of the game, there is no update and i downloaded this thing literally 3 days ago

[molten falcon]

It might be something wrong with the servers at the min I’ve seen 2 others also say there having issues joining right now.only thing u can do is wait really or try #server-reports

[cinder sorrel]

this isnt a server problem, thats a dumb solution, ark servers have nothing to do with unnoficial ones, the unofficial ones run off of private servers, and if i'm not seeing any... ANYWHERE it means ALL ark servers are completely gone, meaning its a problem, on our ends, meaning someone here has a solution most likely

[molten falcon]

Ok sorry good luck hope your issue gets fixed

[flint juniper]

Looking for people to play with on a dedicated server

[cinder sorrel]

so for some reason my ark has installed itself on a "WindowsApps" folder, which for some reason being the only user and pc manager i cant access, what kind of Fucked up shit is Wildcard doing to their installs to make them create their own little Domain on MY PC?

im gonna have to Uninstall the entire folder and deny access for them to make it again

[naive dust]

Wildcard didn’t do that. Lol that’s a user error

[cinder sorrel]

so that wasnt it, the game just isnt located anywhere on the drive

so a 171 gb game file is just GONE

missing and i'm unable to do shit about it

[naive dust]

You should completely uninstall, then make sure it’s reinstalled properly.

[cinder sorrel]

i'm doing that rn and it already took me an entire day once and now i needa wait another day

[naive dust]

I feel your pain man. Ark is the worst fucking install

[cinder sorrel]

cant wait for ark remastered to be even worse

[naive dust]

Lol why would it be worse?

[cinder sorrel]

c'mon you know why

because wildcard

[open arrow]

Hello I have a gportal server and two friends lost their character on transfer is there anything I can do to get their characters back?

[molten falcon]

Not sure u can do it on Gportal(I imagine you can) but I’ve herd server hosts can roll it back to a earlier save where there characters were still on the map

[open arrow]

Yeah we're looking now but I don't see a way to roll it back on my own in gportal it looks like I have minimum settings to mess with

But its also my first time using gportal

[wet crater]

so, what's the difference between the corpse lifespan multiplier and corpse decomposition time multiplier.

I'm trying to get it so death bags last longer, but physical corpses decay faster and leave bags (that last long).

some death boxes are getting a bit out of hand, and the poop situation is bad.

[bright mulch]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration might find your answer here

[wet crater]

I've been delving into it! thank you for the reference.

the decay timer on a physical corpse and bag timer seem to be intrinsically linked, and there ain't much I can do about it lol

[mint gate]

I did a 50k vein on Extinction and have a few thousand element I'm trying to convert to dust so I can transfer it to another map. The only method I found is to put it in a city terminal and queue up 1000 crafts of 1 element -> 200 dust each, leave it for an hour or two and repeat. Is there any faster way to convert element to dust on Extinction or a way to speed things up in the city terminal?

[naive dust]

Do you use mods?

[mint gate]

nope

[young wedge]

then find a mod

which can help you with that

[mint gate]

not the server owner, not looking for a mod

[naive dust]

There’s no way to speed it up. SS grinders can grind element into dust though

[plain pumice]

why is ark 400gb without mods

[naive dust]

Cause it’s chonky

[molten falcon]

Not really only ‘faster’ way would be to look up every terminal and fill them all instead of just 1-2 if you not doing so already

[cedar needle]

i cant craft element on genesis 2 any1 know why?

[mint gate]

alright, thanks, server is pvp and only allows a single terminal outside city per tribe to be claimed, guess I'll spend the day crafting 😅

[robust sierra]

Hey i got a question about breeding, i have a lvl 271 theri with 35k health and now i want another high one with very high melee. Should i search for a wild one? Or should i just tame a low level and breed them and hope thay the baby gets the hp?

So like

Theri 1. Theri 2.
Great health. Trash health
Mid melee. Trash melee

Baby theri
Great health
Trash melee

And then upgrade only melee on the baby

[cedar needle]

if u get an opposite gender of theri 1 u can breed them to hopefull get a great health mid melee

[naive dust]

Tame one with high melee. Gender doesn’t matter.

[robust sierra]

Wdym gender doesnt matter?

I want them to breed

[naive dust]

If you already have a male and female it doesn’t matter what gender you tame so long as it has high melee

[robust sierra]

Oh

[naive dust]

You want the base in a desired stat to be as high as possible before leveling because that increases value of applied levels

[robust sierra]

Okay

[radiant silo]

hi! i've been playing ark non-dedi and my ark suddenly crashed and now once i booted it back up I can't join back

it says connection timeout

[young wedge]

Show

[naive dust]

It says connection time out on your sp world?

[radiant silo]

i'm joining his world and it says connection timeout

i restarted my ark and im trying to rej oin now

[naive dust]

Oh. Shit yeah I could have pieces that together lol.

[radiant silo]

we've been playing together for the past week without any issues first one starrteed today

it still says connected timout

"Joining Failed"

Connection Timeout

[naive dust]

If it doesn’t work, both of you close Ark completely, and when you reopen it choose to run the game without battle eye and try again

Both of you do this

[radiant silo]

launch it as "uninstall battleye"?

[naive dust]

Yeah that’s fine

[radiant silo]

or no battleye anticheat

unnoficial only

[naive dust]

This one

No battle eye.

[radiant silo]

okay trying now 🙂

[young wedge]

i had this problem too

[naive dust]

It’s a common culprit for connection issues

[radiant silo]

what do you mean by both of you?

also him?

[naive dust]

You and the host

[young wedge]

i used the uninstall battleye method and now i can play normally

[radiant silo]

btw the loading screen says PrimalGameData_BP then it goes to connecting then connection fa iled

[radiant silo]

he can't right now

[young wedge]

i think it means it just pre-loads stuff or like makes the game know that its gotta load

[radiant silo]

CONNECTIOON TIMEOUT

[young wedge]

it did show again?

[radiant silo]

yes

[young wedge]

hm

so if you have steam go check verify files

that should've work

[cedar needle]

any1?

[molten falcon]

U have the engram unlock ?

[cedar needle]

u have to unlock an engram to make them??

ohh the mod

[molten falcon]

For dust to element yea

Nah it’s not a mod it’s engram iirc it’s in the extinction engram section

[cedar needle]

element or dust

im trying to use the mission terminals to make element but i cant make anything with shards on there

[candid hazel]

Terminals are only to convert dust into element, u need a replicator to convert shards into element

[cedar needle]

i see the engram for element on there tho weird

engram for shards to element

and i cant even craft shards into dust

[obtuse folio]

Is there any maps that have a higher chance than very rare for a quetz to spawn

[robust sierra]

Heyy is a giga level 191 with 17k hp and 420% melee enough to kill a wild giga level 50?

[naive dust]

I wouldn’t risk it

[robust sierra]

What would be the right stats to kill it then?

[naive dust]

That’s a wild tamed giga. You need to breed and imprint

[robust sierra]

Okay

[stuck vortex]

remember wild gigas have ~80k health and bleed, your 191 is very risky if not certain death

[plain stag]

Download the mods first, it still requires loading the mods. Have ark on an ssd.

[candid hazel]

You can kill a Wild giga with it, but take another giga of the opposite sex with you , it does not need to attack , just to get mate buff

[plain stag]

They typically have a discord/website, sometimes battlemetrics.com has info

[hallow yew]

Not statistically. But with the tek suit it is insanely easy to tame them on gen 2

[hallow yew]

Also easier to find

pls help i added 4 mods to my server today, auto engrams, dino storage v2, ultra stacks and best eggs, and now i try going to my chemistry bench to make some cementing paste and it says i dont have them unlocked and i cant make cementing paste narcotics etc so i was instructed to pickup the chem bench and set it back down but the thing is my s+ multi tool wont let me pick structures up and idk why, although ive never used it before so i might just be using it wrong, but the thing is i cant just demolish the chem bench and make a new one because i wont have enough cementing paste to craft another one

please @ me with some type of solution

[thin wren]

anyone know how to get a lot of metal on crystal isles pink biome?

[plain stag]

Gameusersettings.ini

AlwaysAllowStructurePickup=True

Pick up the Chem bench and place it again.

[dusky harness]

do i type that in like how i would with gamma?

[plain stag]

No need to post in multiple channels. Check pinned messages here for how to find your ini.

[plush berry]

Alright I just want to know the minimum stats I would need to kill the dragon boss ON GAMMA SINGLEPLAYER with primitive saddles for Rex

[plain stag]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/comments/qeq9xg/what_t_rex_stats_do_you_need_as_minimum_for_boss/

[plush berry]

THANK YIU SO MUCH

[plain stag]

Yw, hope it helps. Only one I could find that looked good

[plush berry]

So my issue is that I can’t find a saddle with 50+ armor do you think having 25KHP instead of 15 KHP would be better

That’s the reason I’m asking because I can’t ever find any good saddles

[plain stag]

When in doubt, go with higher health

[plush berry]

Do you think that extra 10k could sub for the armore

Instead of having 50 armor I would have 25 and instead of having 15k I would have 25

[plain stag]

Where are you looking fpr saddles?

[plush berry]

Underwater caves

All I wanna know is if that will work

[plain stag]

It might, you might also take some losses though as I am not totally sure.

[plush berry]

Ima just do it and if I lose I’m quitting the stupid island

[plain stag]

Try therizinos next time

They take reduced damage and can heal with veggie cakes

[plush berry]

Thanks bee

Btw is the dragon boss fight hard

Does he have the most health

[hoary sinew]

Yeah he does

2nd hardest on the island

[plush berry]

What’s first

[hoary sinew]

After the dragon then it's the overseer

In the volcano

[plush berry]

Damn so I def can’t beet thst with prim saddles now can I

[hoary sinew]

I recommend using tek to beat the overseer

As there is a bunch of dinos in the tek cave

[plush berry]

Tech saddles ?

[hoary sinew]

Yep

Same with armor and weapons

[plush berry]

Can they go on normal Rex ?

[hoary sinew]

I have seen a dude do it with one really high level Rex with a tek saddle

And him using the exo suit

[plush berry]

No I mean like a red that’s not tech but has a tech saddle

[hoary sinew]

Yeah that's what he used

[plush berry]

Ahhhhh ok.

[hoary sinew]

If you have the paleo ark mod expansion, there is a new TLC for the giga. It allows it to crouch and go inside the tek cave

[plush berry]

How many rex you think would die if they where 19+a yuti and they all had 25k HP and 600 melee fully imprinted with prim saddles

I’m guessing there’s no gamma version of the overseer

[hoary sinew]

There is

Gamma, beta and alpha

[plush berry]

Woah really is the alter found in the tech cave ?

[hoary sinew]

It uses the 3 trophys from the other bosses

[plush berry]

Ahhhhhh ok

[hoary sinew]

So beat all 3 bosses on gamma if you want to fight it on gamma

[plush berry]

So you think I could beat dragon with my my setup shown up ther e

[hoary sinew]

The dragon does extra damage to carnivores

So don't use Rex's

Use all therizs and ride on the yuti for the buff

The yuti may die but you want it for the buff

[plush berry]

I can’t get that rn lol I mean is it possible to do with Rex ?

[hoary sinew]

It is if they have a lot of health

But it's not recommended

[plush berry]

How much ya think cause I know they get lvls frome killing other bosses

And I will be fighting brood and monkey before him

[hoary sinew]

I'd be fine with 6-8.

Thousand

If your server stats aren't boosted)

[plush berry]

Wait thousand what

6 to 8 thousand health

[hoary sinew]

6000 health

To 8000

[plush berry]

My rex have 25 k health

[hoary sinew]

That's perfect

If they have over 10k then you should be fine

[plush berry]

That’s low is what people keep telling me

[hoary sinew]

Low?

[plush berry]

People keep saying thst I need 30 k or 40k

[hoary sinew]

Well yeah because it does extra damage to carnivores

That's the only problem

[plush berry]

Even 6 to 8 thousand is to low for gamma broodmother though

[hoary sinew]

I beat it with around that health

[plush berry]

On single player ?

[hoary sinew]

Non dedicated

With me and a friend

[plush berry]

Hmmmmm I see

Well thanks giga

[hoary sinew]

Np

[naive dust]

In the grand scheme of things 25k is low. Most people think dozens of mutations are required for alpha bosses though, which they’re not. I’ve beat all alpha bosses with less than 10 mutations between my Rex and Theri line.

[cobalt crest]

Im breeding some dinos and when they hatch out of the eggs they have this one color but if I use soul balls(pretty much cryopods) on them then throw them out they change colors. How to fix?

[left lintel]

Why can't I find a basilisk at portal? I destroyed wild dinos once

[naive dust]

They aren’t guaranteed to spawn

[left lintel]

Where should I look for them

[left lintel]

Where do basilisks spawn

[pale bolt]

crystals are bright white just legit a light boom of white

and my wyvern eggs are glitched dm me so i can send them to you

if anyone has solution

[rocky escarp]

Hi, Im playing Extinction on ps4 in SP and Im wondering what Dinos are actually great against the Titans. I will get an Argy Army for desert Titan and get a snow owl for healing, but aside from that? I read that Gigas actually are NOT good agaist king titan because of % damage and rage, but what else should I get then?

[naive dust]

Pretty sure everyone uses gigas for king titan. Except alpha where you get the mega Mek

[upbeat linden]

How do you get longrass without doing tge boss fight

[naive dust]

You just harvest bushes until you get longrass seeds

Wait are you mobile? Is this a weird mobile thing?

[upbeat linden]

No on ps

[rocky escarp]

Any bush that gives berries can give seeds for longrass, savoroot, citronal etc.
They are relatively rare. Dinos like beavers, equus, ankylo or therizino can find seeds very well. The iguano is also an option

[last depot]

austroraptor does that well, and gigaspinosaur (I think it's like that, looks like stegosaur with two spikes on sides)

[rocky escarp]

I think you are playing with a mod

[last depot]

That too 😂

But hey, I do like it. Mainly cause now I don't play alone

[slate minnow]

AC2 Wild ARK by the looks of it

[ornate gate]

I need help :[. I'm very clumsy and keep pressing E at the worst times while flying my pteranadons. I keep trying to use the whistles to get them out of the sky, but they don't work. Does anybody know what to do?

[ionic granite]

You can try Bola your pter

[ornate gate]

Thank you, I will try that. Will they get fall damage? They're pretty high up.

[ionic granite]

Dinos can get fall damage ONLY if player ride it

[ionic granite]

Another way is to have a low lvl pter on the base for this situation

[molten falcon]

If u have a spyglass depending how far it is you can whistle follow it to you thru the spyglass

[ionic granite]

Use another pter to whistle from pter if you cant whistle it cuz too high

[ornate gate]

Ah

[ionic granite]

Im not really good in english

[ornate gate]

Your English seems pretty good to me. Whats your primary language?

[ionic granite]

Russian

[ornate gate]

Thats nice

Thank you guys for giving suggestions ill try everything when I can get to my computer

[west robin]

how to craft element shards into dust in the mission terminals on gen 2? doesnt let me craft it

[grand night]

what do you guys recommend for underwater caves in the island to get artefacts for the first time? I’ve never done under water caves before and me and a friend are going to do it together on split screen, what dinos and items do u reccomend and what lvl minimum should the dinos be

[vocal iris]

guys

how do i play with my friends without joining a server

[valid quiver]

Non dedicated session on your personal maps and check private and send them an invite. But you'll be tethered. Only servers are un tethered.

[solemn timber]

How do I send an invite? I'm hosting a non-dedicated session and it's not showing in the list under LAN or Friends.

[naive dust]

Basi if you need map specific, shadowmane if you have the option

[solemn timber]

Anyone on Steam able to help me test my non-dedicated server? It's not showing in the list but all ports are open.

[plain stag]

Your nondedicated is highly unlikely to show up in any list other than the favorites tab for steam.

[severe aspen]

is 15 stegos with 45 points into hp, 49 into melee and yuty boost and healing pig, veggie cake 20 each stego imprint + mate boost be enough for gamma dinopithecus king? 0 mutations

[solemn timber]

So how do I invite people?

[plain stag]

Through the steam friends list or give them the ip, I have a guide in #unofficial-setup-help that works for steam and epic (as long as no mods if epic)

[plush berry]

I’m just tryna go for a gamma

Is 25 k low for that

[solemn timber]

I tried to invite through Steam friends but it didn't work. I'll check out the guide. The only thing is I gave the IP but I didn't know the port number and the standard one wasn't working.

[plain stag]

There are 2 different ports you can try

[solemn timber]

It's also on LAN. It's another computer in my house.

[plain stag]

I'm not sure about lan servers

[solemn timber]

open ip:port isn't working

[plain stag]

It should

[solemn timber]

He typed it in and pressed enter and then nothing happened

This is why I was hoping someone else on Steam could join to verify it's not just him.

or maybe it is just him

[severe aspen]

Is there any way to stop reaper birth?

[pale onyx]

Did Gen 2 patch the bug where dying aborts reaper gestation? (I saw this in one of Syntac's videos when Gen 2 first came out)

[bright mulch]

Jump into radiation without a hazard suit

[severe aspen]

Sorry forgot to mention im on lost island with reapers shadowmanes etc added spawnd

No radiation there at least i think

[bright mulch]

No radiation on that map

Could try dying and respawning

[stuck vortex]

why would you abort a reaper?

[plush berry]

To Fighbird mother, can I go to any obelisk or do I have to go to a certain obelisk?

[naive dust]

Any obelisk works

[plain stag]

If you're in singleplayer, green ob

[plush berry]

Thx

[plush berry]

One last thing

Does daeodon level scale with how much it heals

Can I take a low level

[plain stag]

Dragon - red ob
Monkey - blue ob
Spider - green ob

[plain stag]

Higher level means higher food stat. The higher the food, the longer it can heal.

[plush berry]

Thanks

[plain stag]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Daeodon#Abilities

[rocky escarp]

Can the cloning times be changed? I am on PS4 Singleplayer and havent seen an option for that in the world menu

[nimble badger]

I just did bossfight against rockwell, won the fight, but how do I get my dinos back?

Also lost all my ammo, but not the other stuff in my inventory

[mint remnant]

Dinos should be where you started the fight. As for whats on you depends on if your in a cluster or offical or solo but what was on you should be on you when you spawn back i

[nimble badger]

On solo, so my dinos should be chilling at the terminal in the abberation tek cave?

My ammo gone so idk

ill check there

[mint remnant]

Yah dinos will always be where you went in

[nimble badger]

aight, thanks. Hope they didn't get eaten by rock drakes and nameless lol

They're not at the terminal

[snow violet]

i need help please with the dinos and difficultys

i did what it said on pinned and what others said

yet it goes back to 1.0 and spawns lower dinos

[naive dust]

Is it going back to 1 in the ini?

[nimble badger]

They were at the portal, like in the green zone thing where you get the cutscene.

[snow violet]

in the game settings when i go to play single player it goes back to 1.0

[nimble badger]

wrong setting you're changing then

You need to change it in your ini file

[snow violet]

can i dm you my screenshots ?

[velvet crest]

my game uninstalled itself

but now it wont let me download just the game

steam wants to download all of my dlc's aswell

its 280gb 💀

is there a way to make it only want to download the base game?

[mint remnant]

Thats weird. Atleast they were somewhere safer

[rocky escarp]

One of my creatures seems to cause a green Ring to appear, similar to the range of a trough. How do I turn it off?

[naive dust]

It’s probably a Maewing. Just open its radial menu and find the setting

[rocky escarp]

I do not have maewings. The tames I have are: Argy, Snow owl, Gacha, Anky, Beaver, Doedi, Rock Drake, Sabertooth and Snail. Maybe it was a structure? I got Indi forge, chem bench, Fabricator, Smithy, crop plots, water taps and several large storage boxes. The problem is: I dont know which could even cause this. Its not my feeder, I already checked

[naive dust]

Trough

[naive dust]

What ever is creating it will be at the center of it

Be it dino or structure

[mint remnant]

If your server has done a restart recently it could very well be the feeding trough. Turn on and off its indicatore

[severe aspen]

i found a better one and i was afraid it would despawn

could 15 stegos with 6500 health and 414 melee fight a dinopithecus king? havent imprinted yet

gonna have a yuty cakes healing pig and mate boost as well

gamma since its my first boss fight

[placid drum]

Can you get a server, where you and your friend only can play?, And if yes, do you have to pay for it?? Cuz I heard SOMEWHERE, you supposed to pay for it (Cuz I want to create a priv server, where me and my friend can play on only)

[naive dust]

Yes. I rent mine from Nitrado.

[placid drum]

Oh alright, ty

[mint gate]

What is the durability cap for flak on official servers please?

[plush berry]

Hey guys so I’m going to be starting fjordour soon and the only Mao I’ve done so far is the island. I was wondering what some very important tames are to have ?

I know there are 3 new tames on fjordour and I was wondering if they where worth it.

What are some essentials of how to survive and Dino’s I will need to survive

And then finally is there a swamp cave for a beelzo ?

Also how do you survive that one snow realm with -50 c degrees lol

One last thing what do you guys do to level up fast. I usually do explorer note run but some maps don’t have that so what works best

Sorry I know it’s a lot but you guys explain everything way better than most videos and crap

[severe aspen]

dont actually rent from nitrado, its a few steps shorter than any other hosting to get a server setup but its the bottom of game server hostings

[slate minnow]

Jotunheim can be survived with either wyvern milk or complete ascendant fur

Andrewsarchus are great and easy to tame, a low lvl fjordhawk will do the same thing a high lvl does, so get one

Plenty of stuff to explore from other paid DLCs and such too, but these 2 are great for starting out ^^

[slate minnow]

Runes, Fjs replacement to explorer notes

[plush berry]

Are there things in other unofficialmaps to replace explorer notes

[slate minnow]

No

[plush berry]

So how do you level up quickly without explorer notes

[slate minnow]

Narcotic crafting :desmosip:

ARK lvl ing is super fast anyway

Until around lvl 105

[plush berry]

Sweet thanks man

[candid hazel]

@plush berry Maewing , Mantis , Magmasaur are some of the best tame there, also deinos, maybe shadowmanes

Theres is a insect infected cave on the right upper corner of the map

You can survive the cold with soups or crafted food for health regen

Desmodus are a must too

[plush berry]

Thank you to

[molten falcon]

Where is my chin noglin? It simply disappeared a month ago. I tried die respawn it's dead???😭

[slate minnow]

A what noglin?

[molten falcon]

Chibni noggin the genesis pass noglin. It follows you everywhere

[slate minnow]

Oh yes

Do you have genesis installed?

[molten falcon]

Oh it's not installed atm o get it.

Thanks

[severe aspen]

net gun wyverns, fly on maewing on other fast mount and kill alphas with a shotgun from a tame, grind lots of stone in the industrial grinder

[plush berry]

What are maewungs good for

Why not get a gryffin

[severe aspen]

way faster

if u use it correctly you can fly across the entire map in max 1 minute

[plush berry]

So then what are gryffin good for why not get a argy and make it a beast

I thought griffins where the fastest lol

Why do people take them

[severe aspen]

fastest flyers

[plush berry]

The massing or the griffin

[severe aspen]

but wyverns are better for that imo

along with imprinted snow owls

maewing

[plush berry]

So why take a griffin ?

[severe aspen]

i never said to take a griffin

[plush berry]

People use them all the time but why lol

[plush berry]

Lmao

[severe aspen]

you can shoot from them

and do swoops to gain speed

[plush berry]

Ahhhh ok

[severe aspen]

i stopped taming griffins since one of them nose dived into the lava on ragnarok in wyvern trench when i whistled to follow me

[placid drum]

Then from where do I rent

[severe aspen]

literally any other popular hosting

or if u want to get the best deal rent a vps and host a server on there

hetzner is where its at

[placid drum]

ah alr, ty

[severe aspen]

np feel free to ask anything

[naive dust]

ive used Nitrado for years without issue

also you should know that upon release of ASA Nitrado will be the exclusive host for Ark games

how to fix this

[hazy peak]

Steam or Epic?

[soft trench]

steam

[hazy peak]

1. Clear Steam cache. (Steam > Settings > Downloads > Clear Download Cache button)
   If no success:
2. Verify files.
   If no success:
3. File #server-reports

This completes the flow chart.

Whats the problem?

[dusky harness]

can i get some help please

i went into my game ini files and put "OverrideOfficialDifficulty=10" so that the max level of dinos would be 300 but when i went in game and did a dino wipe and dinos spawned back nothing changed, i found out the island isnt able to go over level 150 so i went to ragnarok and it still isnt working so i tried clicking tab and typing it in there and nothing happens i dont know what to do but if anybody knows how to change it please help

also i only changed windowsnoeditor files i didnt go into the default game settings and change it there so idk if thats maybe the problem but im just waiting for a proffesional or somebody that knows what there doing to teach me please

[plain stag]

The island is the same as any map, whatever you change the difficulty to will be your max wild level.

[slate minnow]

It goes into GameUserSettings, not Game

[hoary sinew]

So why on Fjordur are the levels always so high?

I've spawned in and instantly seen a lvl 130 trike

[plain stag]

#bobs-with-probs message

The first four story maps will always have lower levels more common unless you change it via mod or ini.

[plain stag]

Totally didn't read game.ini 😂 good catch

[slate minnow]

Free DLC maps have the inverse curve of the season pass maps, so they favour high levels instead of low

Genesis uses a balanced curve, where every lvl has same chance

[bleak shadow]

Yes u can in first part only, in the space u can't

[hoary sinew]

Ah alright

[dusky harness]

i did

[dusky harness]

@plain stag what do u mean

i did it wrong ? @plain stag

[plain stag]

You said you added it into game.ini , you need to add it to gameusersettings.ini

Under [ServerSettings]

[heady tulip]

whats the best map to find high lvl rexes

[plush berry]

So what’s the point of a griffin if it may win is 10 times faster and you can ride and shoot on wyvern’s and snow owls

[severe aspen]

except pteras are super easy to tame

[severe aspen]

maewings are not on every map

griffins too but you gotta work with what u got

[plush berry]

But like fjordour

Why would you even need a griffin when you can do a snow owl or wyvern or maewing

[plush berry]

Lol

[severe aspen]

i have no clue what youre trying to say

is this a fuck griffins type of thing or what

[plush berry]

What’s the point of taking a griffin when literally everything els can be better.

EX maewing is faster

Wyvern has more attack and you can shoot on it

Snow owl can do the same as wyvern

So why tame a griffin

[severe aspen]

maewing is quite a rare occurence on maps
wyverns take time to hatch, find a decent one and u have to feed it wyvern milk
snow owl is very specific

and griffin is just trap it tranq it feed it

and u can shoot from it

without net gun easiest way to tame quetzal too

[plush berry]

Ahhhh ok thanks

One more thing

[severe aspen]

in ark almost every dino has a use

[plush berry]

If all you really need to heat the game is a bunch of Rex with good saddles what’s the point of getting all these cool tames

Like my argy can do everything a wyvern can wyvern is jsut cooler

[severe aspen]

bruh

some dinos have weight reductions, some dont

some can jump and get away some dont

some do bleed damage and can kill anything overtime some done

everything has a use

wyvern is not universal argy is also not universal

[plush berry]

What some even if they have a use are just useless

But *

[severe aspen]

it isnt useless if it has a use

crazy i have to clarify that

its for fun most of it

like u can get a super slow quetzal and get 10k weight on it n shit

but isnt it just more fun to move half the map on a baller basilisk

and you will eventually meet a dino you cant kill with what u have

it will be a giga or a reaper maybe magmasaur

[granite basalt]

just corius can you think of one that doesent?

because i cnt think of anything that is propper useless like thre is stuff thats questionable

but nothin i can think of is useless?

[granite basalt]

some people may thing they are cool cant get maywings on rag to the best on my knologe

and wyverns cant be used on non flyer maps

can snow owls be used on non flyer maps i want to say no?
