bobs-with-probs

[red olive]

There is a steam discussion page that has some examples of how to add the custom Dino levels into the ini, I usually just copy and paste that and edit the values I want

[rough sedge]

I keep getting kicked from my cluster's version of extinction. Like it just keeps doing the loading screen and then it takes me back to the main menu

this is on a series S, with the game on my internal SSD as well.

anyone know what the problem is?

[prime rover]

i have no idea what i’m doing

help me

[plain stag]

You'll need to be a little more specific, what do you need help with?

[prime rover]

i got a thatch hut and cloth clothes

idk how to progress and craft stuff

[lofty valve]

When im getting dinos for egg laying does it matter what level they are

Moschops for the kible specifically

[steep relic]

when you level up u get engram points use those to unlock new things in a tab at the top of the inventory screen

[prime rover]

yeah but idk how to get the materials to craft the next things

[plain stag]

Nope, lower levels are easiest to tame

[steep relic]

you can get keratin from triceratops and turtles wood and stone with hatchet flint metal thatch with pickaxe fiber and berries from shrubs with nothing equipped

[prime rover]

you’re actually daddy i had no clue how to get keratin

[lofty valve]

There was a red supply drop which rarity is that

[bronze garnet]

One of the highest

[lofty valve]

Okay

Wait so if my 2 moschops male and female are right next to each other just automatically eggs will spawn in?

They have a heart over there names

The male boost

[bronze garnet]

Green blue purple red yellow (least-greatest) I believe

[lofty valve]

Dman its too late anyways

[bronze garnet]

And breeding you need to put them on wander

[lofty valve]

Half way across the world :/

[bronze garnet]

And do it in a boxed in area or whistle stop them

[lofty valve]

Okat

And enable breeding?

I dont want to hatch the eggs rlly just get them for kible

[bronze garnet]

Oh you can even use nonfertilized eggs for kibble

[lofty valve]

Yeah so how do i get those lol

[bronze garnet]

They will drop the eggs randomly

[plain stag]

Get a male and multiple females for more eggs at once and an oviraptor, weigh it down with stone and enable wandering

[bronze garnet]

That works to lol

[lofty valve]

Im just gonna make a sex box lol

[plain stag]

Totally didn't have to put it like that lmao

They'll passively drop eggs while you're in render distance

[bronze garnet]

I mean it is a accurate description lol

[sly wyvern]

Where can I find Rex and giga saddles

Bps

[bronze garnet]

If like mobile yeti cave not really sure making switch to ps4

[plain stag]

Cave drops usually, but also sea crates and desert crates

[vast cedar]

Help? Has anyone else experienced an issue where they can't mount a flyer after deploying it from a cryopod? Tried relogging, it's happening on 2 dinos already

Struggling here, can't find any reference to a similar bug online. Or just don't know what to search for

[uncut turtle]

how do i use prevview mode on pc?

[vast cedar]

Just happened on a 3rd, and I can still mount other dinos that haven't been in pods. Please, anyone with input?

[lofty valve]

Oviraptoprs only eat eggs??

[plain stag]

Yes

While taming

[lofty valve]

Is it worth me spending a buttload of time making a tree house base just for sap?

[pine token]

Snow Owls can't heal wild creatures, right?

Trying to heal up a dire bear I just trapped, something had beaten it up pretty badly

[timber sandal]

you can feed him dead bodys to heal up

[pine token]

Oops, forgot I had a snow owl on me. The answer is yes

[craggy urchin]

What is the difficulty of the gen 2 missions based on? Is there a setting to make them more difficult or easier?

[modern drift]

They have gamma, beta and alpha. There is also the overall server difficulty.

[violet torrent]

adding mods of pc causes lots of crashing and low fps for me even if its only s+

[modern drift]

You might have better luck asking in unofficial discussion.

[violet torrent]

alr

[manic vessel]

How tame dodo plssss

[modern drift]

If this isn't sarcastic, punch it until it sleeps, and then put mejoberries (the purple ones) into its inventory.

[sullen hatch]

I think it's sarcastic, looking at the person's message history

[sullen hatch]

he's been asking for the past few weeks, he messed with ini he wasn't supposed to mess with and has a shitty pc
And also that he's using tek launcher iirc

[modern drift]

Well, in that case he's either sarcastic or has VERY poor memory.

[sullen hatch]

which one

[stiff topaz]

He’s using steam now apparently

At least he said he was when I asked

[sullen hatch]

I see
That is better

in that case, the other 2 issues
toaster pc and ini that you aren't supposed to fuck with

[manic vessel]

Thank you for actually answering my question

[light breach]

lol

now you have a useless burd, congrats

[stiff topaz]

Unfortunately it’s a valid concern because a lot of people find it funny to waste people’s time with troll questions, usually starting with a ‘simple’ question

So if you see someone asking a ‘new player’ question there’s a 50% chance it’s actually someone taking the piss out of you

Very damn annoying, and then people with legitimate questions don’t get answers because people think they’re just being trolled

[light breach]

yeah

sucks :(

[sullen hatch]

prenk

[sullen hatch]

yeah

[umbral wren]

what's the best map for gigas ?

[stoic zephyr]

do you get XP for "crafting" stuff in a refining forge like you do when you make stuff in a smithy or mortar and pestle?

[weak fog]

yep

which is why the grinder can be used for leveling

[modern drift]

In a grinder yes, but I've never heard of levels from smelting in a refining forge.

[weak fog]

ah right messed up 2 things

the thing you can craft stuff in gives level. the workbench

not the refining forge

sorry

[modern drift]

Easy mistake.

[modern drift]

Ragnarok is good, and I've heard Centre is good too.

[weak fog]

gen 2 is easy mode

[modern drift]

It's feels like a post game map.

[weak fog]

yeah

lost island is a good map for beginners i think

cause of maewings

or crystal island also is nice because of the crystal wyverns

[modern drift]

Lost Island is great general map.

I never liked Crystal, the wyverns made it easy, and it felt empty.

But each to their own.

[weak fog]

crystal island i a ma to get started on and then leave

[modern drift]

Personally I like a difficult start, but many don't, and for those I agree Crystal has its uses.

[blissful pagoda]

anyone know what uses blood packs as an ingredient?

i remember needing blood for something but i forgot what it was

[weak fog]

to tame a bloodstalker

but you can always check the wiki

[violet flare]

does anyone know how i can make the min level 120 and the max 180? I've tried a couple of things but i'm not getting the levels i want. It's either too high or too low

[weak fog]

low level dinos have a reason to exist you know

[violet flare]

what? they're not good for taming and i can easily kill higher levels at the stage I am. I don't want to look around for hours to find a good rex

[weak fog]

well alright then

mods

my answer is mods

[violet flare]

do you know a specific one i can use?

[weak fog]

google ark mimimum level

[blissful pagoda]

it was something i needed to craft. I'm guessing a recipe. Wiki says nothing.

[weak fog]

you will know when you need it than

then

[river wolf]

unless you have a mod, there isnt any recipe using bloodpacks, you just drink it for some extra hp or tame bloodstalkers

[blissful pagoda]

i swear something needed it. I remember googling how to get a blood pack to make whatever I was making.

[dusk kernel]

is it possible there is a bug where the dino vanished when you unconscious? (SP)

[kindred tulip]

modify the game difficulty to 5

[kindred tulip]

Still need help?

[uneven patrol]

Do dinos eat focal chili? Because I want them to last longer by storing in them

[naive dust]

No

[rocky quiver]

Is there a way to stop the OSDs blowing up when you go slightly out of render? Had issues with them blowing up when searching for the last dinos

[river wolf]

i dont think so, you kinda just have to wait for the last few dinos to naturally despawn. you can also use a scout since they dont break the osd if theyre out of range.

[modern drift]

Tek helmet is good for finding them.

[misty dew]

guys when i go to change max difficulty in my settings it resets to back to 1 when i launch the game how do i fix that?

[uncut turtle]

why isnt the prevviewmode command not working?

[sullen hatch]

check pins

[misty dew]

not used to discord where can i check?

[sullen hatch]

top right, there's a "pin" icon

[misty dew]

yep found it thanks

[pale lava]

who needs a help with a boss fight ?

[sullen hatch]

ask in #pve-discussion or #ark-survival-ascended

[pale lava]

thx bro ok

[pine token]

Where were you when this happened? Had a friend who had it happen after logging out in a cave with their dino guarding and on follow. And I had a dino vanish right before my eyes once, but wasn't in a cave. No trace of the dinos & no log entries

[naive dust]

Dinos go missing in caves all the time

[modern drift]

Sometimes they're under the map. A ghost command could find them if a relog fails.

[molten falcon]

Why do my engrams and skill points keep resetting when I login my sp world?

[modern drift]

I've had this a couple of times, both isolated incidents. Think of it as a free mindwipe.

[wintry relic]

why my friend always teleport to me at the volcano?
doesn't happen when we in other areas.
It only ever happens at the volcano.

[naive dust]

Volcano is a cave. You’ll pull him anytime you go to a cave entrance

[stiff topaz]

And on some maps, the tp zones are randomly anywhere

Or Centre, where it';s touching water

[brazen robin]

crystal also has a few :P

[stiff topaz]

Most maps have some, so it's not really worth specifying the ones with just a couple random ones

[brazen robin]

thought only ab out of the story maps had them do the ext globes count?

[stiff topaz]

Ext has a few

Gen1 does biome to biome

[brazen robin]

thats teleporting, so just like a boss arena

[stiff topaz]

Not sure about SE or Gen2, but gen2 is almost guaranteed I'd say

[modern drift]

This is only on split screen or something with tether, for anyone reading this who doesn't know.

[brazen robin]

yeah, haven't played a non-dedi on gen2. I would expect its just the biomes tho as I haven't heard much.

[stiff topaz]

G2 is so massive, is why I'd expect it

[stiff topaz]

Non-dedicated

[modern drift]

That counts.

[brazen robin]

most maps I haven't heard of them actually just center and crystal. maybe those are the only common non-dedi maps or something 🤷 (and ab but less so since they fixed the majority of them)

[stiff topaz]

They changed Ab's zones? When?

[brazen robin]

I don't play non-dedi so wouldn't know when, but I'd assume when they fixed the loading issues on consoles

I think its just between the borders now, instead of all around

[stiff topaz]

Centre (water), Rag (redwoods and wyvern trench), Valg (wyvern trench, some random areas over grasslands), Ext (near the Forbidden zone, and Sunken forest), Ab (everywhere), CI (randomly), Gen1 (different biomes)
I haven't played g2, LI or SE in nondedi

[brazen robin]

wyvern trenches are caves tho

or do you mean outside of them?

[river wolf]

i tried gen 2 split screen and my game just crashed and my save was deleted.

[stiff topaz]

Like 'at the top of it', the open parts

That you can see from far away

and there's still other points that the maps tp

[modern drift]

It's pointless split screen anyway, as the host will teleport the other person constantly, as they use the Tek suit.

[river wolf]

i wasnt even trying to play with someone else, i wanted to test out noglin mindcontrol ⚰️

[brazen robin]

I get that, its all load points, the wyvern trench is loading which is why you tp, its the same with all of them. just some have weird spots.

at least with the wyvern trench its just outside of the trench 🤷 things like water on center, and the crystal ones are worse as they are out in the open

[stiff topaz]

it means that if you fly into the trench your friend can tp into lava

and yes I know they're load zones

[wind epoch]

I just stole a stego egg how do i hatch it?

[stiff topaz]

You can only hatch fertilised eggs

[wind epoch]

ima put it back then bc i just saw two stego swimming towards me that's dedication

[sleek mango]

Hello, I got a question. My friend cant run the game. 3 days ago he got the message, that the ShooterGame.exe data isnt found in the files. After searching a bit, he decided to delete the game and download it again. It then worked , but as he tried to start it today again the same message ocurred again( the new download finished yesterday, so he did 1 session ). He already wrote a support ticket on the website.. But maybe someone here had the same issue and can tell me how to fix that ?

[stiff topaz]

What platform is he on?

[sleek mango]

steam

[wind epoch]

How can i get AnglerGel, and ik it's from those abysall fish or something but idk where to find them and i can't stay very long in water

[late heath]

im tryna join a server (has mods) and for some reason it crashes my game while joiing

i got a crash report

but cant post it cuz it is alot

[stiff topaz]

Send the first 5 lines

[stiff topaz]

Can you get a creenshot of it?

[sleek mango]

i cant send it here, got no perm

[sleek mango]

can I send you one private ?

[modern drift]

It's from the angler fish, found deep underwater. You'll need SCUBA or Lazarus Chowder.

[late heath]

LowLevelFatalError [File:F:\build\LostIsland\Engine\Source\Runtime\CoreUObject\Private\UObject\LinkerLoad.cpp] [Line: 3921]
Bad name index 1667321929/184

[stiff topaz]

Sure, dms enabled

[stiff topaz]

Bad install of something. Either verify files, or full reinstall mods (check pins in #bobs-with-probs for how)

if one fails, try the other

[late heath]

ill verify

[charred kiln]

Wouldn't adding more meat stacks into a trough be the same thing as adding one?

If they all decay at the same rate

[weak fog]

get a maewing if you want to feed babies and just cryo everything else

[charred kiln]

That didn't answer my question

[peak sand]

Me and my friends are on the center on a non dedicated server and we tp to the host whenever we move away from him. It's inconsistent and it's also on land. Sometimes the glitch occurs and sometimes it just fixes itself to come back later.

[oak lion]

Ohh that also happens when you play splitscreen on ps4 but idk how to fix it sry

[modern drift]

It's not a bug.

Consoles just can't handle it apparently.

That's the official reason.

[peak sand]

oh damn that sucks, well thanks!

[lapis jacinth]

Thanks

[midnight radish]

Valguero 1104 on Xbox Official PvP has been down for at least 17hrs

[dark dragon]

Imagine

[midnight radish]

Fr 😭😭

[steady gale]

Have you reported it?

[midnight radish]

Yes

[molten falcon]

hi, is there any command for argentavis t o pick up ankylosaurus since I can't pick it up?

[steady gale]

Ah, have everyone else report it also

[midnight radish]

I’m just alone lol

[molten falcon]

?

[steady gale]

You have other server members no?

[steady gale]

Are you on official?

Wait nvm

[molten falcon]

i am on singleplayer mode

[steady gale]

Do you have PvE enabled?

[molten falcon]

no

[steady gale]

Huh

You typically should be able to

[midnight radish]

I don’t really know anyone else on the server

[plain stag]

Sometimes it's buggy, did you enable flyer carry pve?

[steady gale]

Ah, we’ll if you’ve reported it, you’ve done your part. Let’s hope it comes back up soon

[midnight radish]

I hope so I’ve waited soooo long lol

[molten falcon]

yes

[steady gale]

There are others who’s servers have been down days so I’m sure you’re not alone

[plain stag]

then it should work. No idea.

[midnight radish]

Yeah I’m sure lol

[umbral wren]

do you know a way to know the distribution of points of post tame stats?

[steady gale]

Mrs. Mod give him the fix

[umbral wren]

i would like to have 45+ points in damage/hp for theris before start breeeding

[plain stag]

But i don't know anymore if the flyercarry setting is on

[deft zodiac]

Hi mama 👋

[steady gale]

Let’s simply ping eclipse. He’s basically a walking Wikipedia

[lapis jacinth]

That's why I make observatories for my base(s), I get to watch a trike, 4 brontos, and a diplodocus all kill a rex then get murdered while at low hp by a pack of 7 or more raptors

oh and sometimes instead of a trike it is two ankylos and a doed

and instead of raptors it is sometimes just more rexes

[late heath]

is there any other way from resubbing to every mod

cuz that gonna take a while for me and i been here for 2 hours already

maybe 3

[stiff topaz]

Add to a collection, 'subscribe to all'

or verify first and see if that fixes it

[late heath]

verification no work

[stiff topaz]

Then you need to mod reinstall

[late heath]

k

i am reinstalling all rn

[turbid kite]

on the ragnarok map I only have the option to craft "generate ragarok (easy/medium/hard) portals, and not the normal bosses?

nevermind apparently you can only fight both at the same time on ragnarok...

[late heath]

it says failed to install mod map

[late heath]

something i see tho is crystal dinos keeps installing itself

[rugged scaffold]

Is a therizino 116 bp worth 20k poly

[molten falcon]

How do I transfer from the island to Valegro in SP?

[scarlet robin]

Was the ability to raise dragons with dnow owkx removed? I can't freeze mine but can feeeze anything else

[molten falcon]

What level basil should I get for the two underwater caves?

[wintry tundra]

Hi. Im playing on Genesis 2 and trying to get missions done for taming stryders. But it keeps saying I need the same amount of missions as before I finished one more, that's on ps4

[long valley]

Anyone know why titanosaurs arnt spawning in lost island

[turbid kite]

game crashed during transfer and I lost all my items...

I'm so done with this games bugs lmfao

and yet I keep playing

[mighty igloo]

my friend is trying to join my server i am hosting with gportal, i can join fine but when he joins he gets about 25 mods loaded and then he gets the you have been kicked by battleye reason client not responding

[primal cove]

Will it let you form alliances on official ORP servers? Don't have any friends on to test it.

[maiden nebula]

How do I join my friends host non dedicated modded map

[tawny bobcat]

@turbid kite roll back if it's in single player

Little late hopefully it that will help

[real nebula]

Is there anything I can do about my dimetrodon clipping through foundations?

[vale girder]

in single player how do i test turrets and make them shoot me

@molten falcon/admin

@everyone

[modern drift]

PvP must be on, and you must be in a different tribe.

[hollow snow]

I'm getting genesis 1 glitches. Its showing I've gotten every one of the HLN-A glitches, but I still have one glitch in the Bog and one in the Ocean, but have no idea how to find them. Any ideas?

[deft zodiac]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Repair_the_Bog_Glitches!_(Genesis:_Part_1) , check in yout inventory wich one is missing

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Repair_the_Ocean_Glitches!_(Genesis:_Part_1) for ocean

[dusk kernel]

propellant should be able to crafted right? but i couldnt find it in my engrams

what do i do?

[bright mulch]

If you are in your engram section, in the top right corner is boxes for each dlc engrams

Make sure scorched is ticked for that engram to appear

[sullen hatch]

or untick all of them to show all engrams
by default the island is ticked

[bright mulch]

There you go I learned something new

Cheers bob

[sullen hatch]

I think they should make the default to be none of them
almost every time someone has said that they couldn't find a DLC's engram on the non canon maps, it's been because the island was ticked

[bright mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/vince-staples-fax-it-do-be-facts-tho-its-the-truth-gif-16329641

[river wolf]

it does that on pc? on console nothing is ticked.

[dusk kernel]

ah i see thankyouu

[modern drift]

It used to be ticked on console, but they seemingly changed it.

[sullen hatch]

oh hopefully they'll change it on pc too then

[modern drift]

It is very odd that Xbox was fixed first.

[mossy wing]

whats the easiest boss i can kill with like a kangaroo and a shotgun to get tek transmitter

[sullen hatch]

nothing

ragnarok arena is your best choice I'd say

[mossy wing]

could i use 2 velos and 1 carbo

[river wolf]

center? idk if that drops transmitter though.

[sullen hatch]

for the dragon?

[sullen hatch]

nope, only rag, dragon, CW queen and dinopithecus

[mossy wing]

is there any boss i can use 2 velo 1-3 carbos that has transmitter?

[sullen hatch]

idk, you see if you can do any of these bosses with your current stats

[charred stump]

ive never done any upload/transfer before, im playing entirely solo/pve/singleplayer. can i just simply go to a obelisk, upload everything, bring my dinos/items to the lost island map, tame/explore, then upload it back and return to my original map

[sullen hatch]

yeah,
but a few points to keep in mind

• make backups
• make backups
• make backups
• only upload dinos using cryopods, don't upload it directly

[charred stump]

backups of my world files?

[sullen hatch]

yeah

[charred stump]

why use cryopods instead of uploading?

[sullen hatch]

because uploading and downloading the dinos can cause the game to fucking crash, which can cause you to lose them

[modern drift]

Type the "saveworld" command before and after uploading.

[sullen hatch]

it won't save you if the game crashes immediately

in general, just don't upload or download dinos without cryopods

[modern drift]

I don't mean that's a workaround your point, I mean generally. Unrelated crashes can occur.

[wintry relic]

o

[sullen hatch]

ah, yeah, that's another point to keep in mind

[sullen hatch]

don't saveworld after uploading, just before

saveworld after downloading

[modern drift]

If it crashes after uploading, it may dupe your stuff, which you probably don't want.

[wintry relic]

@naive dust how does it works?
its because i am the tribe leader?
Does it have nothing to do with me being the host?

[naive dust]

It has nothing to do with you being tribe leader and everything to do with you being the host.

[charred stump]

is there some secret to farming lots of metal? or its just a grind

[sullen hatch]

aberration, anky + karkinos or skiff + magmasaur

[charred stump]

i should be using mainly stone for base building though, right

[sullen hatch]

isn't really much point in metal for base building apart from aesthetic, assuming pve

[wintry relic]

so if a host visit a cave everyone will teleport there even if they are just randoms?

[sullen hatch]

yeah

[naive dust]

Yes. Everyone who joins your game is tethered to you and will pull any time you go near a cave. The island is the best map for it. All the other maps will pull seemingly at random.

[wintry relic]

so to avoid this as the host i just dont visit the volcano and someone else go instead?

And other maps people get pulled randomly?

means host shouldn't play on other maps or just use a dedicated server?

[naive dust]

Pretty sure it’ll pull you and everyone to them

[wintry relic]

didnt happen the last time my friend went to the volcano 🤔

i never get teleported before

[naive dust]

Very nice. Sounds like you’re all set then.

[wintry relic]

i wanted to host a delicated server.
does that helps prevent those issues if i host it but play on the pc i hosting it on?

On 2nd though i could have host the server on my laptop while i play on pc 🤔

[heavy tangle]

Is there any way to change the way your character looks like after the fact you have created it?? Like for an example, changing your gender after the fact??

[river wolf]

dont think you can change gender, but im pretty sure you can change colour and the sizes of your characters body via commands.

recreating characters is very easy if you have commands, so it'd be easier to upload your old character (just in case) and create a new one with your desired appearance changes.

[dense kestrel]

can you tame a tek giga and do they exist?

[kindred copper]

Anyone done alpha spino hunt mission (gen 1) without a skiff I just lost 8 boss rexs 85k hp 3k melee yuty buffed and max saddle that mission is insane ? I know people use skiff and basi method but don’t have either yet so any other way ?

[hollow snow]

When I go to Notes, click HLN-A, then click on Genesis, every one of the glitches is showing as "have". However, when I'm on Gen1 and go to the glitch missions, I'm missing 2. Again, all of the notes for Gen1 are showing as unlocked..... I've even gotten the genesis 2 chronicle notes.

I'm trying to figure out how to get them to match up. I really don't wanna have to delete the game and re-download or something.

[wind epoch]

Hey im trying to play with friend so they created a non dedicated server but idk how to join we enabled private match bc we don't wont peoples to join but idk how i get the authorization

Im on epic game so i don't have steam ID

[hollow snow]

I'm on Official PVE, Steam.

[wind epoch]

pls help im tired im searching on google for hours and it's like if it's trying to tell me anything but what i ask like i don't care of how to make someone admin on steam when im typing "how to join undedicated server"

[deft zodiac]

Then the only thing I can say is verify your game, sry

[modern drift]

They're in some Genesis missions, but not in the wild. Untameable since they're only in missions. There is a Tek giga skin you get from beating the Centre bosses though.

[sullen hatch]

they exist, they're tamable, but they don't exist outside gen1
if you get one from gen 1(can make them spawn using ini) then you can't transfer it
same as chalk golems and the tamable polar bears and shit

[sullen hatch]

they're tamable, just don't spawn naturally

[vocal notch]

I'm working on trying to get a character up to max level, and all I have left is the 10 levels from all explorer notes. I found them all according to the notes menu, but the levels haven't unlocked. Is there some trick I need to do to get it to register that I did that?

Nvm, just realized I missed 1 buried in all the explorer notes lists

[lapis jacinth]

they need to add revolving doors in this game

[river wolf]

yeah thats normal, only other methods i can really tell you is an army of extremely good carnos or thylas, theyre the only bleeds to pierce alpha dino armour

[sage cobalt]

my ark wont let me play ARK Expansion Maps when i have every ark map but i just got the game today and its very annyoing

someone help me please

[primal cove]

How to prevent fast auto decay on single structures? Will a foundation and a fence foundation on top work?

[plain stag]

Should, we use a pillar and a ladder or a pillar and a foundation

[primal cove]

Alright thnx

[blissful zenith]

Should I lower my max difficulty for bosses? Feels the gamma boss is so op even with mutated dinos

[fringe rover]

Any bleed except deinons and shadowmanes works

[river wolf]

shadowmanes do bleed?

[fringe rover]

The thornmail does a sort of bleed

[river wolf]

also last time i checked allo bleed didnt work.

[fringe rover]

Not very effective at all but it is restricted by armor so worth mentioning

[fringe rover]

It should, its the same as any other

[river wolf]

idk poison balls, megalodons, carnos and thylas are the only thing ive found to pierce.

[fringe rover]

Well the bleed literally ignores armor

Thats the only reason poison balls work too

[vale raptor]

So ...is breeding different on unofficial then offical ?
I got a discussion with a friend about breeding and I believe that the parents give out base stats for the babys it's the base stats of the parents if or if not you put points into them. Only when the mutation is an option does the baby get better stats then the said parents.
He believes if you put points into the parents the baby will get those points on a unofficial server.
Am I wrong ...

[modern drift]

Unless they're modded you're right.

[fringe rover]

You’re right
Breeding is the exact same for any gamemode

[vale raptor]

Thanks

[compact elk]

How do you kill a stego

[modern drift]

Early game, get a bow and shoot it from a height (rock it can't climb, cliff etc.) Or walk backwards and shoot.

[compact elk]

I mean a tamed stego soaking

[modern drift]

Okay, sorry.

Percentage attacks.

[compact elk]

What dinos do that

[modern drift]

Fire, thylacoleos, megalodons, allos, deinos, ravager.

There's more but that's a selection.

[fringe rover]

Don’t use deinons for bleed unless the stego doesn’t have a good saddle

And even then a prim saddle and stego damage reduction means it’ll be 4x less effective

[modern drift]

Armour affects deino bleed?

[astral cobalt]

Whenever i try to set my singleplayer harvesting amount to anything higher than 1 and load into it the harvesting setting gets reset to 1. I just wanted to know if this is intentional or if my game is broken

[modern drift]

Not intentional.

[weary trout]

Sorry for asking but anyone can invite me into some ps ark discords ?

[fringe rover]

Yes

Deino bleed is applied as regular damage whereas gnashed is applied by directly changing the health of the creature

[pale anchor]

for new players: The ice titan found on extinction is a very good berry farmer for begginers, it's a pretty easy tame, bring a club and a few berries and you should be fine

[astral cobalt]

Is there anything i can do to fix it?

[thick basin]

Can anyone tell me the best way to farm loot on The island? I need either a Rex Saddle or Theri Saddle blueprint for Alpha boss fights but I have yet to come across one. I’ve tried running the Brute Cave but it will only spawn one lootcrate at a time and will take 20 mins or more to respwan. I’ve also increased my drop rates to 5.0. I know fishing exists but it’s incredibly hard to get a good fishing rod and find a good sized fish. With all that in mind is there anything else I can do?

[steady gale]

Have you been running deep sea crates as well?

[pearl latch]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Loot_tables/The_Island/Caves
Swamp cave or underwater caves

[radiant eagle]

I bought a server with G Portal, its up and running, but i can't find it in the server list. Could anyone help me?

[thick basin]

I have never seen a deep crate spwan ever and I’ve gone past there spawns multiple times

[proven otter]

where can I find crystal on scorched earth

[steady gale]

On tops of mountains

[proven otter]

which ones

[steady gale]

Have you checked the resource maps on the wiki?

[pearl latch]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Resource_Map_(Scorched_Earth)

[proven otter]

ok

[midnight radish]

Valg 1104 been down for bout 2days now

🤷‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[placid hawk]

Is there a "trail marker" type thing i could use in caves? A way toshow i been down this path before? I tried using standing torches but "cannot place structures" and regular torches/glowsticks justdespawn

[molten falcon]

Not really but what Im always doing is grab a stack or fiber and always drop a bag pick some fiber and do It over and over again

Or drop torches

im a bob with a prob

im stuck and i cant get unstuck!

any1 help

[placid hawk]

Dedicated server? Single player? Your own server?

[scarlet rain]

Can an rpg one hit players?

[placid hawk]

Yes,rpgdoes 1800 dmg per hit, based on the armor you have (or dont have) it will killyou

[fierce phoenix]

Just curious, what would happen if I installed mods on my crossplay server? (steam, eg, and stadia). Hosted by gportal, kinda scared too try. Would it break the game or lose game files?

[dusky juniper]

I am also a bob with a prob…. Gen2.

[scarlet rain]

Thx

[plain stag]

Epic and stadia would no longer be able to connect.

[astral cobalt]

Has anyone had this glitch happen to them before? If so how did you fix it

[placid hawk]

Why doesnt mytraining dummy show ranged dps?

[little reef]

Anyone know the best way to deal with troodons? Everytime I dismount something I always get assaulted by them and eventually die even with very good armor. They're rather annoying...

[naive dust]

Put more points in fortitude

I keep like 34 fort and I’ll fist fight an entire pack without going to sleep

[main wave]

fire. hit em with a torch, they run away

[little reef]

Thanks

[timid schooner]

I usually turn up my gamma if its night time and look around the area im in for bright eyes

[placid hawk]

Why is my egg a lower level then both parents? I.e it's lvl 6 when both parents are lvl 10 (before upgrades) egg did not lose any health

[deft zodiac]

Probably cause parents have different stats, and the baby may have got (for example) the lower attack among both parent

[placid hawk]

Oh...so that'll reduce it's lvl?

It'll still get higher stats at 100% imprint then either parent though right? (Theoretically?)

[deft zodiac]

Nah, if you get all the higher stats it may be even higher than 10

[deft zodiac]

Yes, an imprinted creature will always have higher stats

[placid hawk]

And it's just random on the stats it gets?

[deft zodiac]

Yea

Only luck XD

[placid hawk]

Bleh,oh well, it'll still have higher stats then my current one

Trying to make a faster travel mount

[fringe rover]

Not always higher than either parent

Especially in this case when 20% extra will be such a small increase

[tall zinc]

anyone know a trading server for win10/xbox official

[deft zodiac]

Never said always higher than parents

I said always higher than be4 imprint, you missunderstood

[fringe rover]

That was what they asked though

And its very easy to imagine you leaving off the end of that sentence because it isn’t necessary after you actually said “yes” at the start

[deft zodiac]

Oh yeah I haven't read then end

[hot furnace]

Am trying to put some cables on an ocean platform but it says to high above the ground is there a way to fix it?

Nvm accidentally destroyed the whole platform and I gotta build the whole base again

[charred stump]

anyone know a mod/way i can pick up structures/things without the 20s time limit?

i want to be able to pick up my giga trap pieces and put it somewhere else so im not just stupidly wasting lots of metal

[trail pasture]

s+ or you could just turn it on in the settings

[plain stag]

AlwaysAllowStructurePickup and then also edit the StructurePickupTimeAfterPlacement

[sly pendant]

I meant it's not worth breeding or taming anything under 140 if I wanna do a boss? even a gamma?

[astral cobalt]

Has this bug even been seen before? Ive searched online for hours and cant find a single site that talks about it
Its gone from a maximum of 1x to 3x which is fine but still not what i'm tryibg to achieve

[subtle perch]

What boss?

[sly pendant]

Gamma Broodmother

[subtle perch]

Single player or nah

If yes then heck yeah 140s will work. If you’re on official get a procoptodons and a decent damage pump shotgun and jump to a mushroom and shoot the brood

For breeding anyway

[sly pendant]

i am on single player. so 140-150 and then breed 224 until i get mutations and max stats for dmg/health/stamina?

[misty dew]

anyone know how to get rid of the bushes u cant harvest on pc?

is there a setting for that

ive set that to 0 but it only gets rid of the grass

not the bushes

lost island

nw

[blissful pagoda]

I don't understand how the S+ item collector is suppose to collect wool.

[tight hedge]

Whats the best way to collect hide?

A theri?

[dry ginkgo]

really doesn't matter, I use a giga but theriz also works

[uncut aurora]

Anyone else can't transfer to certain Gen2 servers? Saying character transfers not allowed. Small Tribes if it makes a difference. I opened a ticket but curious if it's just me.

[chrome nova]

giga,thyla,yuty,dire,hatchet

[modern drift]

Sabertooths are good, but the best thing is something that's good at killing, not something that gets most hide from each body.

[sullen hatch]

and chainsaw

[molten falcon]

does anybody have informations about something called "wreckage", it destroyed my structures and damaged my dinos without any cause (that i know of at least)

context: my base got destroyed a first time (without any cause that i know of (no dino, no players no environment)) then i tried to replace the structures, it destroyed them once again right after i placed them, then fastly tried to replace them again and a error appeared "cannot place structure until wreckage is disabled"

[plain stag]

When you destroy something, you have to wait until the remains/smoke clears before placing again.

[molten falcon]

Eh I see though any idea why the structures got destroyed without any source ?

Got a video uploading

[plain stag]

Videos aren't allowed, im not sure without a source though

[molten falcon]

Sad, videos could help
Though another player had the same issue as me

[glass pine]

Hi, so im not a bob but which bosses wshould I fight on a pvp server for the best tekgrams? Please reply to me if u have an answer

[modern drift]

Tek Generator from beta megapithiceus.

Rifle is from it too.

Broodmother Alpha or Rockwell Beta for Tek Turret.

Rockwell is easily cheesable so good choice.

[glass pine]

oh, thank you ver much

[glass pine]

Any others that ppl do on pvp servers?

[wind epoch]

Do i need a paraceratherium saddle & platform or just the platform

[glass pine]

Just the platform

Or the saddle, either.

[wind epoch]

but can't build on with the saddle right

[glass pine]

Youu can

[wind epoch]

oh really than what's the platform use?

[glass pine]

Oh no ye u cant build on it with the saddle

U neeed the platform, sorry I got confused abt what u meant. Sorry

[wind epoch]

alright thx

[modern drift]

I'm just listing PvP items and what boss drops their tekagrams, I don't play PvP. But I know Rockwell is popular because good engrams and easy.

[glass pine]

oh okay, thanks anyway :))

[winged helm]

Hai. I am not a bob, but I do have an issue. The game won't stay above 1-5 FPS and I am annoyed as shit with all the lag. I am on a private server too. But the thing is, I start out with fantastic FPS and two seconds later it drops. I've cleaned up registery, optimized and all sorts of stuff. Even gonna reboot and run in admin mode. Anything else I should try?

[sullen hatch]

First, what are your specs

[winged helm]

GE force RTX 2060

32gig ram and I7-10

[sullen hatch]

I see
And graphics settings?

[winged helm]

Everything according to GE force was put at epic cos it did that on it's own.

[sullen hatch]

Did you see what the fps is on when you change graphics settings
And how long ago did this issue start?

[winged helm]

Woah my fans just kicked in. LOL. So... sec

I am gonna reboot.

OKie back. I flipped a setting with that too. LOL

I did performance over quiet. That's annoyingly loud. But.. the issue started recently. I hadn't played the game for over 6 months and I just bought a server yesterday. My friend plays on the server and her stuff doesn't lag too much. The other option could be my net too maybe cos it's absolute trash with being satalite?!

[sullen hatch]

Internet wouldn't cause fps drop tho

[winged helm]

Good to know.

[sullen hatch]

Is the issue only on that server?

[winged helm]

I would hardly think that's the case if my friend is able to play with out lag.

And my stuff starts out high FPS then promptly drops. So it's there, there is just an issue some where.

[sullen hatch]

Try it on an sp game, see what happens

Is the fps drop always a set time after you load into the game or only when you enter a certain area in the server or smth?

[winged helm]

After I load in for a bit.

Like two minutes after I load in, it steady drops and continues til it hits 1-5 fps and it stays there with absolute lag.

[sullen hatch]

I see, that is pretty weird

Sorry, dont think I can help with that

[winged helm]

Yeah... it started out really good at 60FPS and then promptly dropped down again. Now it's at 2 FPS

I dunno what in the hell.

[vestal pivot]

Bit late but ideally you could start with any level, 150 is just to jump start it.
I'm breeding a large Deinonychus army for shits and giggles and I've got levels ranging from 50 to 150 - what matters is getting the better possible levels/stats out of the parents

But, not a breeding expert so take my advice with a hint of salt lol

[placid hawk]

Doflying mounts get a speed mutation?

[plain stag]

Nope

[placid hawk]

Like it wont happen or it wont affect their speed?

The server im on allows flying speed increase, im just wondering if it's worth breeding my tapejara beyond the first baby

[plain stag]

You won't get speed mutations

[placid hawk]

Sad :(

[plain stag]

Actually, you can get them, it just won't do much i don't think

[placid hawk]

Oh

I know on most servers by default increasing speeddoes not affect flying speed. Mines set up to allow speed stat to affect flying speed though

[plain stag]

It still shouldn't do anything, even owls can no longer get speed mutations. I'm not sure about modded dinos.

[brazen robin]

I thought speed mutations regardless of dino (flyer or not) does nothing

[plain stag]

Said it this way because I'm unaware of modded dinos as I just said.

[brazen robin]

ah, yeah. I don't know about modded dinos. I'd assume they still wouldn't do anything tho.

[plain stag]

That's why I said it.

[brazen robin]

I thought you were just talking about the fact they can still happen but don't raise speed :P

[plain stag]

No.

[molten falcon]

Can I save my level for different servers?

Like if I play one server and I'm level 50, can I save the level for a different server?

[plain stag]

You can upload your character

[brazen robin]

you can transfer if the servers are clustered otherwise no.

[molten falcon]

Ok. If I upload the character will I have my engrams and level?

[brazen robin]

yes, if you can transfer your survivor to another server. they have to be clustered (or open, allowing singleplayer dinos/items/survivors) to transfer tho

[molten falcon]

Alright, I just started when Playstation had it for free so I'm still trying to understand the game.

[brazen robin]

you can upload/transfer at an obelisk, supply drop(server only), city terminal, etc.

[molten falcon]

Alright thanks

[molten falcon]

Can anyone please help me on my ark crashing on startup.

[pine token]

@molten falcon Beyond the usual verify game installation first step, I'd have to leave it to more experienced troubleleshooters

[molten falcon]

ah i see.

so you can't help me?

[pine token]

...who would probably want more info about your rig and when/how the game is crashing

Well, share more info here and maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in

[molten falcon]

it is a lowlevelfatalerror problem as soon as I run the game it slowly runs and then like 5 sec later crashes on the main menu

[pine token]

Have you verified the game installation yet? How about reinstalling? After that (or maybe sooner) look at your gfx driver version (assuming you're on PC) and check to see if it's latest/stable

[molten falcon]

so uhh yes multiple times tried to verify, nothing, reinstalling whilst taking along time still yup nothing but the gfx driver version I am not sure about that.

I am actually verifying rn

again idky

[pine token]

Gfx driver version check & update sounds like a possible good next step

[molten falcon]

ok.

[pine token]

Windows Update is another area to look at -- if there's anything outstanding that looks important, maybe let that update now as well

Assuming you're on Windows, ofc

[molten falcon]

oh yh I am also Im trying that now, uhh im trying to find on google how to check and update amd drivers

[pine token]

What gfx card do you have? I'm not sure about ATI but Nvidia has its own utility you can use

Works fairly well imo

[molten falcon]

so wait how do check my gfx card, google says to check device manager which I have it splits betwen amd radeon r7 m460 and itnel uhd graphics 630

[molten falcon]

yh ik nividia works well but I hav a adm so I can't use that.

[stiff topaz]

Send the first 5 lines of the crash msg please

[pine token]

I haven't used AMD in a long time, so I'm unsure about their utility options, sorry.

[molten falcon]

uhh i dont think I can paste images imma just going to dm u

nvm i cant

[stiff topaz]

You can't, which is why I say send the first 5 lines- As text

[molten falcon]

Ohh

[stiff topaz]

It copies to your clipboard when it closes, so you can paste it somewhere, copy and paste

[winged helm]

Gonna go with run verify game. I just did that after having issues since I rebooted my new server and it's found two issues that needed fixing.

[molten falcon]

Ah, shit

Low level is almost anything

oh lmao bro I didn't know that so i manually wrote it

from a screenshot

[stiff topaz]

Well, I genuinely respect that dedication, if that's anything?

[molten falcon]

lmao its cool thanks.

[stiff topaz]

I doubt I'd have the patience. Unfortunately though, that crash can be.. Tricky

[molten falcon]

What are classic servers?

[bright mulch]

Gonna assume this for pvp, in this case this is what I found on the Ark website about classic pvp

[molten falcon]

Oh I thought they were legacy servers

[primal cove]

Do regular Deinonychus eggs count for extraordinary kibble or do they have to be fertilized? I always heard their regular eggs counted as raptor eggs and wouldn't work 😬

[stiff topaz]

Their regular eggs are raptor eggs

[primal cove]

So then can't use them for the good kibble? 😭🤬

[stiff topaz]

Well you can breed them for it. But you can't use raptor eggs no

they don't 'count as' raptor eggs, they are literal raptor eggs

[glass pine]

Anyone know the best bosses to kill on pvp servers.

[spark finch]

hello i am running my own server and want to be able to kill unclaimed dinos does changing my server from pve to pvp change anythings in my game i am hosting on gportal

[stiff topaz]

Yes, you cant kill unclaimed in pve, only pvp

[spark finch]

i heard it changes armor stats and even dino levels

is this true?

[stiff topaz]

No

[spark finch]

and will it give cryosickness if we enable it?

we use souls also]

[stiff topaz]

DS has sickness individually configurable

pods wilol have sickness

[last oriole]

Does anyone know why I can’t farm ele with Stryder

[spark finch]

so do you know how to disable cryopods sickness on gportal

[last oriole]

It’s connected to the box but I can’t use it

[stiff topaz]

for souls it's off by default

ds can disable it for cryos too. it's in the guide

[spark finch]

thanks dude really helpful now we can make auto dino farms XD

[stiff topaz]

Np

[sour crest]

what ports do i need to forward to play non-dedicated sessions on windows 10 ark

[royal lintel]

quick question, does harvesting babies give you the same stuff as waiting for them to grow?

[sour crest]

how do i fix "join failed" when joining non-dedicated session?

[pine token]

I'm pretty sure you get more if you wait

[naive dust]

You’ll get smaller amounts of raw meat and hide, but all babies will give prime. As for apex drops they won’t drop from any tames, except for megalania toxin. I’ve heard that they drop but I’ve never verified.

[placid hawk]

How to i backouttothe main menu when on the character creation screen?

[naive dust]

Alt+F4

[pine token]

Yeah, probably sounds like a joke, but I'm pretty sure that's the answer

[lavish harness]

is it possible to play on a server together with xbox pc and steam player ?

[rocky flower]

No you need win 10 version to play with Xbox players and epic games can only play with steam version with no mods on the server

[lavish harness]

ok thx

[stiff topaz]

Escape

[swift sluice]

I just tamed a phoenix but I can't feed it what do they eat?

Nvm figured it out

[pastel panther]

every time i try to get into servers it says battle eye launcher not responding so how i fix

[deft zodiac]

Verify your game and if it still isn't working reinstall battleeye

[pastel panther]

how ?

how verify

wait found it

[pastel panther]

thx

[placid slate]

Why my ark progression keep resseting all way like i was started playin anyone know how to fix it?

[sly pendant]

i can't start my game, it keeps crashing in the startup.

i double click it, the music starts and as soon as it's loading the main menu it freezes and then crashes

its trying to load the main menu. then it crashes. 3 times in a row now.

[naive dust]

Verify files.

[trail pasture]

Launch steam as administrator, I had the same issue for rust and that fixed it

[sly pendant]

ok, how do i do that?

[trail pasture]

Go to the windows icon on the bottom left -> right click -> run as administrstor

[stiff topaz]

Does it give a message?

[sly pendant]

yes, but i cant send an image here

i restarted my pc and now ark works.

[stiff topaz]

just fyi it copies the text to your clipboard so you can paste it somewhere

[sly pendant]

if you're a dev, let me send you the image.

[stiff topaz]

Im not a dev, but I try help out if I recognise the message

[steady karma]

Yo uh wanna ask if anyone knows a fix for this

Me and a couple of friends are running ark on the xbox client for PC. Hosted a non-dedicated session and proceeded to invite them using the invite friends button. Apparently when they accept the invite request in Xbox, the game just shows a pop up of "join failed". Wanna ask if there's a quick fix to this. All of us just freshly booted up the game in the xbox client. Thankss

[errant prairie]

im looking for mods on the workshop and i keep seeing different puzzle pieces in the corner of the icon. what do they mean??

[fervent grove]

is there a limit for a male to mate with females? cause some eggs disapear after mating

[molten falcon]

No theirs no limit they might disappear bc it's to cold /hot

[fervent grove]

but also after 10 sek?

[trail pasture]

no they shouldn't

[molten falcon]

Well that's weird then

[mental mason]

Alright, for some reason I can not play ark anymore, i play on the PS4 everytime I start the game, it crashes, it tells me error CE-34878-0 I searched it and it means that there is an in game crash, and you just have to restart the game regularly, i did, a lot. And it keeps getting crashed...no i don't have any corrupted files, does anyone know what to do? I literally deleted my whole progress just for it to play, I lost my island progress and I thought maybe it was a problem with some files? Apparently not, it still crashes...everytime i get to the menu screen it does

[chrome nova]

when your friend goes to put in the IP to join your non=dedicated server with hamachi whats the command?

[visual ether]

smalls34 has been down for over 120 hours, anyone on this?

It’s supposed to mean stackability but their usage can be a bit inconsistent

[modern drift]

What's the best way to knock out a quetzal too high level to be knocked out in the time of one netgun?

[safe oyster]

get a better weapon

[modern drift]

I would need a 525% long neck to do that, if I had zero lag and there was no delay in any way (which is impossible). I'm sorry but that isn't feasible.

[subtle oasis]

Behemoth gates after you net them?

[modern drift]

They can fit through them.

Would normal Dino gates work for that?

[silent hill]

this diplo is cute and all but it keeps knocking me back into my house so i can't exit

If I wanna join a tribe, how do I find a tribe I was invited to?

[chrome horizon]

QUESTION - after you get "imprego'd" by a reaper queen - does the timer keep going when you exit to main menu? (official)

or logg off?

[long valley]

AH i see

@uncut kite now I'm getting mixed info - help

[brazen robin]

[chrome horizon]

😕 i appreciate the effort to help - it just conflicts with what this admin told me

[uncut kite]

what ?

[chrome horizon]

yeah I'm on official smalls

[brazen robin]

it stops while you are offline.

[chrome horizon]

not unoffical or single player

[uncut kite]

it stops when you are not logged into a server

[chrome horizon]

Alright @bleak oxide Terr, do go around confusing ppl 🤪 - again appreciate the effort to help. Think I'll listen to the wiki admin 😬

☠️ tried - YEAH THANKS buddy

don't get defensive when YOU gave wrong info little boy - learn, and move on. now go on with your day kiddo

[brazen robin]

lets move on.

[naive dust]

The timer stops when you log off SP or dedicated doesn’t matter.

[chrome horizon]

I'm def listening to GOOGLE! 😂 wanna know something --- GOOGLE IT

Google knows his shit

[spark finch]

[radiant falcon]

how do chains work cuz i have all my females and im wokring on getting my 20 health but how do i get my 20 melee and combined both 20s if im stacking with males

[royal lintel]

Do you only need the gen 2 notes for the extra 10 levels?

[fringe rover]

No

Sorry I misread, the answer is no
You need all notes, that also includes boss notes, hlna notes played when a gen creatures is tamed, etc

[royal lintel]

From all maps…

[fringe rover]

Yes

[bright mulch]

Btw the note total is 1014

[molten falcon]

Can someone help me with breeding

I have a question on a mut I got

[weary gate]

What's the mutation

[molten falcon]

So I have a female carbo that got a mut in HP, it's from the dad. Should I keep it or try to get it on a male? I'm super new to muts

[young rock]

keep it

get a male from the female

[molten falcon]

Should I breed it into the rest like normal?

[young rock]

yes

[molten falcon]

Okay thanks, how does stacking work too?

[weary gate]

There's a YouTube video explaining it on syntacs channel

[molten falcon]

I've watched multiple and still just can't understand, I have a smooth brain

[plain stag]

The mods are for discord support, not ingame.

[weary gate]

must be rare

[plain stag]

This channel is specifically for players helping players, not all of us mods know everything though.....

There's already other players helping, you included.

Or they can wait a little bit, the mods here aren't just for ark

[molten falcon]

When I get a new mut should I violently murder all the previous breeders

I'm on a fast breed server

[plain stag]

If the mutations are better then yes, but keep the clean original pair

You're welcome to rant in another channel.

[molten falcon]

Why keep the originals? Incase you mess up or somethin?

[plain stag]

Yep

Also keep clean females and a clean male

[molten falcon]

I watched a video and they said things like 2/1 was bad and I didn't really understand that, do you know anything?

[plain stag]

Um

No idea tbh

[molten falcon]

Like 2 muts on female side and 1 on male

[plain stag]

Oh

Yeah

Keep all your mutations on a male. If you get one on a female, breed it with a clean male to get the mut onto a male, I think

[lofty valve]

I just pressed R3 riding my parasaur saddle whats this 2 minute timer about

[molten falcon]

Why keep them on the male?

[plain stag]

You did a "scare" roar.

[lofty valve]

Does that scare off predators?

[plain stag]

One mutated male can breed with tons of clean females, increasing your chances of getting more mutations on that.

[plain stag]

If I remember correctly it's small stuff, like raptors and below.

[lofty valve]

Okay thanks

[molten falcon]

I just got the mut on the male, now I replace the old one with the new one to get the guaranteed stats, then repeat?

[plain stag]

Pretty much

Afaik I mean. Anyone reading and seeing that I've messed up is welcome to say something, since I'm really not much of a breeder without mods.

[lofty valve]

What gives more of what with tek dinos

Like does my hatchet give more oil or electronics

[molten falcon]

I just got another mut, one on the mat and one on the Pat. It's not in the stat I want so I toss it, even if it's in the right stat should I keep it if it's on both parents? Or should I keep it to one side

[plain stag]

Always move the muts to a male, but if it's not stats or colors you want then yeah you can chunk it

[crimson whale]

also if you want to keep stacking mutations after 20/20 start working towards your negative line at the same time because it takes a while to get

[molten falcon]

I think I'm starting to understand, you always keep your females without muts, then keep switching out your males every time you get a mut, then every other generation the mut on the other parents side will transfer the side you want all your muts on. I think at least 😅

[fringe rover]

Thats correct, yep

[radiant falcon]

would i need to build health on a giga for alpha island ascension or just melee

[fringe rover]

You can’t bring gigas into the tek cave

[radiant falcon]

with cryo u can

[young rock]

does your level matter with taming a bloodstalker?

[fringe rover]

Not on official

[fringe rover]

The player’s level? No, only the amount of bloodpacks

[thorn basalt]

Are any glow pets on lost island?

[pine token]

Glowtails, supposedly

[stiff topaz]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Spawn_Map_(Lost_Island)

[frail patrol]

Imma check it when at home, in like 5 hours

[bitter palm]

hi peeps. a. hopefullly simple question. What is the structure limit for a building on official pve servers?

[modern drift]

It is an inconsistent bug that they have tried, and possibly succeeded, in patching.

[hasty galleon]

Hmm, does anyone one here update the wiki?

[deft zodiac]

What page needs an update?

[pastel panther]

ok so i keep getting querry timeouts wut do i do

[bitter palm]

anyone know?

i have hunted online and the answer is 5000

no sorry 8000

no no its 10500 lol

[hasty galleon]

It's nothing really major, just a few have some color regions that are marked as unknown (x-sharks and x-dolphins are what I've gotten to on X dinos) or not marked at all (r-gasbags & karkinos both, have a hidden region) , it's active and can show up with color mutations, or during events.
It's not really a needed change so It doesn't have to be done (why I haven't asked before) but, It's been driving me nuts for sometime so I figured I'd ask.
I can try and provided the pics if needed but me and discord don't tend to play nice together.

[stiff topaz]

hey @frail patrol im happy to go through everything and try and find the used-but-not-in-the-colourset regions if you want

since ive mentioned a few of those before

[uncut kite]

what exactly do you mean?

[dusk kernel]

why is my elemental tame not laying egg like at all

[bright mulch]

What creature is it?

[deft zodiac]

We're, aware of that, it'll take a while to be fixed since images of the color regions needs to be uploaded, I've already uploaded the ones of the amargasaurus and I'll try to upload as many as possible (once I've fixed an issue with color regions on the fr wiki)

[deft zodiac]

Ig He asked if the values of the wiki are correct, for example if the dodo gets 5% of additional hp if you lvl up it health

[frail patrol]

Most of them need imports into the data tables.

[frail patrol]

@deft zodiac the calc currently doesn't update the cells for whatever reason.

[sullen hatch]

there's a stat calculator?

[deft zodiac]

Hmm, so migh be wrong?

[dusk kernel]

elemental parrot and something like that

[stiff topaz]

What about the ones where it (at least appears) to be showing regions that are or arent used based off colourset- Is there any way to determine used but not naturally coloured other than by eye?

[uncut kite]

hmm

[frail patrol]

Either devkit magic or photo making. I can't answer much right now cause I'm not at home.

[stiff topaz]

So you have a way to automate it? cool

[frail patrol]

That's not what I said.

[stiff topaz]

well what im asking, is do you need someone to manually do it by looking in the kit?

because if you do im happy to do it

[deft zodiac]

I can also help with paint regions

[placid gazelle]

I'm a new player that played with my friends in a private server, and sth confuse me is the how stat calculation works
Is there is difference between stats gotten from pre-tame and the ones you get as an extra levels post-tame?

[sullen hatch]

one sec lemme find that copy pasta I had for it

[placid gazelle]

Kekw

I've went to different sites and still confused

[sullen hatch]

keeping it simple,
wild points are a basic increase to the stat
tamed points are a % increase, for example with health, you increase 5.4% of the health with every tamed point

[sullen hatch]

levels right after taming (the ones gotten from taming efficiency) are also considered wild levels

[deft zodiac]

Yea, when you level up a creature it mainly depends of it's stats pre tame, if you have a lot of melee pre tame and lvl melee you'll get more percent than a creature with less melee pre tame for example

[placid gazelle]

Ah yes this is what I'm talking about

[sullen hatch]

but it's like simple interest, it adds 5.4% of the stat right after taming, rather than 5.4% of the current stat

[placid gazelle]

So when putting it into a calculator for how much levels is in the stat I can get the exact level of the stats no problem right?

[sullen hatch]

calculators mainly only exist for wild stats, most don't work for tamed stats as far as I'm aware

[placid gazelle]

Cause I was confused whether those stat are considered wild or tamed

[frail patrol]

The only one working for tames and bred dinos is ARK Smart Breeder.

[sullen hatch]

best calculator I would say is ark smart breeder, which works for tamed stats and is pretty damn accurate

[frail patrol]

Dododex and wiki's work only for wild dinos, since
A) they don't account for player deposited levels
B) they don't account for imprinting, post-tame stat modifiers that some dinos have (like gigas), etc.

[sullen hatch]

when I say tamed in this context I mean just a dino that's tamed, not "a dino with tamed levels added to it"

though of course tamed levels also change shit

in general, only use online calculator for dinos that you use HLNA on or just KO'd

don't use them for dinos that you've already tamed/bred up

[split tiger]

Case #23890 @frail patrol has been muted for 1 hour.
Reason: Posting a unauthorised Discord invite link

[sullen hatch]

lmfao

[placid gazelle]

Uhh tamed but not leveled up?

[sullen hatch]

Yes, even then, don't

[placid gazelle]

Why not

[sullen hatch]

because tamed dinos have separate modifiers and shit

[placid gazelle]

Ohh so you can't get exact numbers from it

Since the calculation is different

[sullen hatch]

yeah

[placid gazelle]

Last question is the % increase is the same for all the dino of the same species?

The post-tame

[sullen hatch]

no

[placid gazelle]

Okay I shall look into that one later

Tq

[bright mulch]

Never heard of that creature, I assume that is a mod so I got no idea sorry

[agile crow]

Make sure you have a male and a female. Also tame an oviraptor as well

[teal charm]

Does fortitude increase your resistance against hypo/hyperthermia?

[uneven surge]

yes

[teal charm]

Thanks

[tight hedge]

Wheres the best place to farm metal in all of ark?

[mellow violet]

Depends on the map… you can google YouTube has a 7 min video with all the best metal places per map

[tight hedge]

I heard ab is like the best

I use val at the bottom right corner

But ive been told that abb has a way better spot thansk for the help

[uncut kite]

abb blue area or gen2 asteroids are best
if you can min max with stryder

[tight hedge]

Ty man

[polar sandal]

If I go to a different server will my structures on my current server become destroyable after a certain amount of time even if I log in daily to the new server?

Or does a player logging in refresh cooldown for all servers that player has a character on

[uncut kite]

since its a per server timer you have to reset that timer per server

[fallow sphinx]

Whats the closest spawn point to oil cave on valguero?

[tiny oriole]

set the difficulty of a non dedi to 1.0 and the mobs are still spawning on low lv only ? why

[stray badger]

boreal 2

[wintry relic]

my game keep crashing when i throw out my frog.
what does it keep trigggering a game crash?

[stiff topaz]

corrupt saddle data probably

[wintry relic]

than do i throw it away?

[stiff topaz]

yeah you can't get it out. You can get it from a backup though

[wintry relic]

its fine is not important

[weak lantern]

Question: so when you go thru caves or the ocean you can find the crates with upgraded blueprints for saddles and weapons right? Are you able to get upgraded tek blueprints?

[uncut kite]

on certain maps yes

[modern drift]

From Titans, OSDs, Genesis lootcrates/missions and Genesis 2 drops. These give upgraded TEK, though not neccesarily blueprints.

[weak lantern]

I see, thanks guys

[swift junco]

Every time I put down a sign it tells me "Your content sharing privilege does not permit you to view this text" Even though I have all of my settings identical to my girlfriend who is able to read the signs. Is there something I can do to fix it or is the game just broken?

[pine token]

Just a wild guess, but is it possible that some sort of parental/family settings are involved?

(those would exist outside the game itself, btw)

[brazen robin]

I'd assume its in there too. if you go to xbox privacy > Communication & multiplayer. there is a bunch of things that could effect it.

xbox privacy is in general settings > online safety & family > privacy & online safety. in case you can't find it.

[swift junco]

I have checked over and over again and don't have any family settings enabled and my communications & multiplayer settings are all allowed so I'm not too sure what the issue is. My xbox settings are identical to my girlfriends and she has no issues with reading the signs. I'll just have to continue getting her to read everything for me 😂

[static lantern]

can someone help me with a game crash when i join genesis1? i cant post picture here

[umbral wren]

where can i farm chitin or keratin on extinction ?

[stray badger]

the desert bubble probably , not the best map for it

[pastel panther]

if anyone knows wut query timeouts mean dm me plz

[umbral wren]

scorpions are very rare....

[brazen robin]

there are mantis in the desert titan cave

[stiff topaz]

Paste it somewhere and send the fiirst 5 lines

[umbral wren]

no there isn't

ooohhh desert, my bad xD

i'll check it out tomorrow 👀

thank you

[tranquil panther]

can baby maewings eat berries?

[umbral wren]

Is it possible that there is not any giga on my solo game?

or did i just missed him?

[brazen robin]

yeah, kill other dinos where they spawn until one does.

[frail patrol]

should be fixed now or whenever caches align and new scripts get delivered to you. also optimised the delivery.
(keeping in loop: @uncut kite@stiff topaz@deft zodiac )

[umbral wren]

okkk

i have to kill dinos in their areas or the game do not care?

[frail patrol]

in the same area that gigas may spawn.

[umbral wren]

ok, thank you very much 🙂 (max level found for now : 75 :c)

[pearl latch]

Which line was the problem in?

[frail patrol]

event emitting on field value change to recalculate stats. relied on functions being available globally, but we switched to shipping the script in a different way bundled with other scripts, and the function access is more controlled, so it failed.

it's been like, what, 3 years, and i still can't do a proper non-technical technical explanation.

moved all data into a separate request tho, so it can be shared between all 10 wikis. need to update the calc prolly next month so we can actually leverage that. less bandwidth wasted in the meantime.

[pearl latch]

Do you have the line of code where it was trying to access a global function? It looked like all of the data was included in the script so I must have missed something

[frail patrol]

`onchange="calcNatStats()" and such in the injected HTML. diff is https://ark.wiki.gg/index.php?title=MediaWiki:WildCreatureStats.js&curid=39686&diff=466189&oldid=137598

the script's madness tho

i think it dates back to 2015

[pearl latch]

Thanks I had tested the script locally and it worked fine so I wasn't able to find the problem

[frail patrol]

https://ark.wiki.gg/load.php?lang=en-gb&modules=MediaWiki%3AWildCreatureStats.js&skin=vector&version=ztntf is the script that's delivered to browsers.
what broke it is the function wrapping the code, generated by the load.php script. mw.loader.implement("MediaWiki:WildCreatureStats.js@1sc5g",function($,jQuery,require,module){. messed with the scopes and made calcNatStats unavailable to the elements.

[pearl latch]

Thanks for the information

[wooden egret]

Anywhere that has trikes,Carbos,kentros,scorpions etc u can get it in several areas

[ionic sluice]

I tried setting up a box with a few auto turrets on it to kill some crystal wyverns easier and safer, but for some reason each bullet is only doing 39 damage without mate boost shenanigans as well. I'm confused as the wiki says they should do 77 damage per bullet. Please send help.

I'm on single player currently with pvp settings enabled for baby Dino xp stuff for added info

[radiant falcon]

how do i spawn in s plus items

[stiff topaz]

i already said. exactly the same as you spawn in any other item

you put the item name in the command

[radiant falcon]

it gives me the normal item

[stiff topaz]

then you're not putting in the right name

it depends what command you're using too

[brazen robin]

wouldn't it be easier just to craft them in creative mode

[stiff topaz]

depends what you're doing, i don't usually use gcm unless im doing a whole thing in gcm

[brazen robin]

I guess, another way would be the S+ converter if you can't find the right commands to spawn them.

[stiff topaz]

thx

[molten falcon]

How do I transfer from the island to Valegro?

I put some gear into the ark data slot on the island then uploaded my character

Now the create character screen for the island popped up

Do I have to make a new character, then exit and download my character to Valegro?

[hazy peak]

Is there an option for "download survivor"?

[molten falcon]

I found a yt video that explained it

Thanks anyways though

[fringe blaze]

Does anyone know how to fix unknown errors when I transferred a box popped up saying unknown error and now I cant join any official server

[static lantern]

hey, my ark always crashed when i want to start genesis 1, and it has a lostisland error (only genesis 1) lost island is perfectly working.. (error: LowLevelFatalError [File:F:\build\LostIsland\Enging\Source\Runtime\CoreUObject\Private\UObject\LinkerLoad.cpp] [Line: 3921] )

[fierce phoenix]

So I was trying to give a player a reaper king on my server since we have them in our shop, but it spawned in bloody and I crashed. Whenever I got near it i'd crash, so I tried another one but the same thing happened to that one. What do I do?

[sour crest]

how do i solve "join failed" when joining xbox players while using the windows store version of ark?

[molten falcon]

I'm trying to transfer back from Valegro to the island but the download character option isn't showing

What can I do?

[molten falcon]

Nvm I figured out

[vocal notch]

Does anyone know a good mod that would let me make items available for players to purchase. Like they gain a currency by playing, and then can buy packages that I setup that include items or emotes or even resources.

[signal remnant]

Can someone put poly inside my dedis without me unlocking the dedi?

[leaden reef]

I have a problem with 3 or 4 sfx only playing through my left ear, as opposed to every other sound on my pc in both
The only sfx that dont play in my right ear are, Weather, Player Harvesting, Jumping, Walking, Dino Sounds

[primal cove]

Anyone know which Gen 2 explorer notes actually give 3x or 4x on officials? Just watched a video on a note run that gave 4x xp but sadly on officials it's not 4x. I did a note run on official Extinction when it came out and remember getting purple notes so surely they wouldn't have removed them

[bright mulch]

I know on single player majority of the notes are 4x as for official I got no idea

[uncut gyro]

Is there any easy way to raise crystal wyverns without being on the crystal isles map?

Last I've known they only eat primal crystals, but I don't want to go through the troubles of transferring back and forth for them

[brazen robin]

same way as all the other ones, use a snowl or daeodon to keep the health up as it starves

[naive dust]

If your rates are even slightly above official a high level baby won’t need to eat

[ionic sluice]

You can cheese it with daemon healing or snow owl healing, or at least that's what I've heard. Also yeah they're only on crystal isles

Wait someone already said that my bad

[sonic cliff]

which way do i launch ark from steam

[pine token]

I think that mostly depends on what kind of server you'll be playing on. I guess I'd say just start with the default option and see what happens.

[sonic cliff]

its just no matter what way i launch it i still cant find high pop servers

[pine token]

You can cheese it with daemon healing or snow owl healing, or at least that's what I've heard. Also yeah they're only on crystal isles
I could be totally wrong, but I think the healing thing (owl or daedon) only works on normal (meat/produce) starvation, and not on specialty food (crystal, milk, etc.) starvation or general maturation health.

[fringe rover]

It works fine

[pine token]

Ah ok

But it will still not reach max health, from what I've seen, until they mature

[fringe rover]

Afaik theres no difference between regular baby starving and wyvern/drake/magma starving

[fringe rover]

Well yeah baby’s max health is roughly the % of their maturation
They can only be at full health when an adult

[pine token]

Cool, thanks for confirming

[pine token]

Again, I might be wrong here, but I don't think that's determined by launch options, but rather by how you're filtering and sorting the list

[river wolf]

so daeodon/owl healing doesnt work?

[sonic cliff]

im filtering by players and all modes

[fringe rover]

I never said that?

[pine token]

The confusion is on me, sorry.

[river wolf]

yeah but shouldnt baby health stay at the same amount since its a percentage of their maturation

[fringe rover]

Its the max health, not the actual value

[river wolf]

?

[fringe rover]

Babies have a maximum of x/10,000 health, x being the % of maturation
Doesn’t mean that a baby can’t have less than that

[river wolf]

but can they have higher than x?

[fringe rover]

No

[river wolf]

then how does daeodon/owl healing work.

[fringe rover]

Well the daedon/owl is increasing the health faster than the baby is losing health and so the baby doesn’t die

[river wolf]

oh so for example if a baby is at 5,000/10,000 hp but they lose 1k hp due to starvation, you can heal it back up to 5000 hp

but not to 6000?

[fringe rover]

If its at 50% matured yes

[river wolf]

alright.

[sonic cliff]

I search up fiber craft nothing comes up, is there any unique settings i need to do to find it

[fringe rover]

Thats why when you force feed regular babies meat that the health goes up for a while and eventually goes down a certain amount, because it reached that cap

[river wolf]

so hypothetically you could stop a rex from starving if you forcefeed it enough meat?

wait i forgot that they eat meat normally.

[fringe rover]

Hmm lets say in this hypothetical scenario that food drain is set to be extremely high

I suppose that if the gain of health from the meat is greater than the loss of health from starving then yes

[tawdry turtle]

whenever my food goes down to 0 it wont go up again, it might be a visual bug because my stamina still goes up. can anyone help?

[river wolf]

you can still regen stamina when starving, it just takes a while.

[sonic cliff]

I search up fiber craft nothing comes up, is there any unique settings i need to do to find it

also most servers dont pop up and the highest pop i can find is 46

[inland mortar]

it's unofficial

it might be that you were looking at official servers otherwise i got no clue

[sonic cliff]

nah i was looking at unofficial

[placid hawk]

In single player ifim not on aparticular ark and am playing on adifferent ark,do i need to worry about decay? ...i.e. i played on the island,but transfered to scorched earth, do i need to worry about stuff onthe island decaying?

[modern drift]

No. While you are off a map in single player, it is as if the server is down.

Anyway decay on single player is in my experience lengthened.

[bright mulch]

If you are concerned about decay you can turn it off in the settings but as already mentioned the Island wont be active till you return so no decay

[placid hawk]

Thx!

If i leave an egg at 100% in the incubator does it die?

[naive dust]

Only if the spoil timer runs out

[naive dust]

If the spoil timer runs out as soon as you access the incubators inventory it’ll disappear

[placid hawk]

What could cause my dinos health to slowly go down? Their juviniles, and not starving, but their food bar isnt full yet, but not empty either, but their health keeps going down....i also have a,daeodon healing them so he'll heal and their health will go up thwn drop again

[river wolf]

babies naturally slowly lose hp until they turn adult, if they arent starving then it'll heal more than it loses.

[placid hawk]

Oh, ok

[trail pasture]

A baby has a maximum amount of hp it can reach depending how grown up it is, if you heal it above that amount it will go down again

So no point in healing it

[sonic cliff]

I can only find some servers and not most fiber craft or other servers people play is there anything I need to do, I’m pretty new

[trail pasture]

You need to favorite them on steam

[sonic cliff]

How do i do that

[trail pasture]

I'd suggest watching a video about it

[sonic cliff]

Ok I’ll do that thx

[leaden reef]

I have a problem with 3 or 4 sfx only playing through my left ear, as opposed to every other sound on my pc in both
The only sfx that dont play in my right ear are, Weather, Player Harvesting, Jumping, Walking, Dino Sounds

[honest sail]

So have I missed an update or something? I've just watched a direwolf chomp its way through two stone behemoth gates o.o

[sullen sundial]

so my tames keep getting high melee dmg when i tame them i just tamed a moshops and his melee dmg is 1000% and each time i upgrade it goes up 200% please help ive had this problem for so long

[void relic]

It must be in your settings you have to reset everything to normal

[honest drift]

Is there anyway to speed up the recharge of a cryopod? Like through an ingame tool - Not some mod, or stattweak 🙂

[void relic]

No

[twilit wasp]

Anyone has a flyer im fresh i just need something to kick off

[trail pasture]

how do I make a backup of my map, it keeps reseting

[twilit wasp]

Singleplayer?

[trail pasture]

The map when you press 'm' not the server map

[ashen spruce]

Hello! I was wondering, why won't my eggs hatch on my server? The message that the egg is to hot or to cold doesn't pop up, it just sits there, egg health doesn't go down either, and I'm sure its an incubated egg

[void relic]

Make some air cons they will regulate the temperature so it's perfectly good for the egg if you place it close to it

[ashen spruce]

You sure? I've done this and it still didn't want to do anything, no timer till hatch or anything

[forest heart]

Can somebody tell me is steam and epicgames crossplayable for ark survival

?

[plain stag]

Yes it is

[deft zodiac]

Yea on some servers with crossplay enable

[forest heart]

For non-dedicated session

[trail pasture]

how many ac's did you use?

[forest heart]

becuase i tried with someone and it didn t work

[trail pasture]

and what egg

[plain stag]

It's supposed to be, but nondedicated has a ton of issues and usually does not work with steam/epic.

[ashen spruce]

I had 5 lined up on a drake egg and it wouldn't work so i then added 5 more ac's and it still didn't do anything

[trail pasture]

you need like 20 ac's
