bobs-with-probs

[bright mulch]

nah it takes time

[brazen robin]

steam is just slow

[eternal iron]

it took 1h already

[bright mulch]

before I put mine on an SSD it took 3hrs

[eternal iron]

im ssd

[bright mulch]

now on SSD 15

well snap

[eternal iron]

bro i didnt ask ark to vaildate

[brazen robin]

even SSDs have different speeds.

[eternal iron]

it shows ark icon nothing else

[brazen robin]

nothing you can do about steam. it does what it wants.

[eternal iron]

bro before it happend and idk what i did and i fixed it

its not even going 1%

[brazen robin]

restarting steam will either stop it or reset it so 🤷

[eternal iron]

when i do it

i join the game and the mod just downloads and it dosent stop downloading

[brazen robin]

yep, takes time for things to happen

[eternal iron]

wym

i think i go to the mods folder and delete the folders in there

or verify ark

[brazen robin]

you can try that but validating means it checking all the files not just mods. sometimes it does validate the workshop content I guess

[eternal iron]

i will try to verify ark

[eternal iron]

ik but no way it takes longer than verify and the normal vaildating

[brazen robin]

steam has issues.

[eternal iron]

how do i stop that vaildating

[brazen robin]

you can't

[eternal iron]

the hell

i just did before copule minutes

[brazen robin]

or it finished 🤷

[eternal iron]

yeah but the mods takes so long

like its stuck when i go to ark it supposed to take copule secs minutes at max

[brazen robin]

a couple seconds for 400GB of content? no way

[rotund pecan]

What do I need to change in the .ini files to make the mating time (not interval) decrease?

[brazen robin]

don't think you can

maybe "MatingSpeedMultiplier"

yeah

so I was wrong :P

game.ini btw

[eternal iron]

ark is 182gb

[brazen robin]

ark with all DLCs is 400

I was just going for its largest :P

base game by itself is 140 I think

[eternal iron]

the f

dang bro what am i gonna do now

ayo i found a way to open ark with vaildating on

oh god remaining 2 hours and 1.6gb/183.0

what the dawg doin

[rotund pecan]

Thanks

[radiant falcon]

how do you increase the gestation timer on mammals

[fringe rover]

Egg hatch speed
And you don’t have to post in two different channels immediately, waiting is an option

[radiant falcon]

i perfer a fast answer lol

[slow heart]

Fix illegal racer, make dino gate not go on racers, wildcard you are ridiculous this is an easy fix

[fringe rover]

And I prefer to not see chat cluttered up
And yet here we are

[radiant falcon]

its 1 msg its not gonna kill ya

[fringe rover]

[pine token]

It not only clutters chat, but also usually wastes time for folks who invest in answering one of the versions only to realize it was already answered and received in the other.

[strange vessel]

Ok so

Server got raided my mega tribe and bruh

Anyway to escape this? Is there anywhere they don’t go where I can go?

[quick spoke]

For dunkleosteus what do I put the level points on?

[pine token]

The only unknown base locations these days are on servers where the raiders are somehow not aware of them all. Any server that has competent aggressive tribes is probably unsafe, in that sense.

[quick spoke]

I playing pve

[pine token]

Sorry, misclicked the reply, that was for @strange vessel

[quick spoke]

Oh ok

[pine token]

I assume you'll want melee, just like you'd usually do with other harvester dinos

[quick spoke]

Health or weight?

[pine token]

Depends, kinda. Melee increases yields, and if you can bring a carry dino you don't really need to put points into the harvester's weight. Health might be more down to your comfort level and what sort of bodyguards you can bring along.

Btw I haven't used Dunkleos in a long time, so there may be other considerations I forgot or am just unaware of

[quick spoke]

Ok tks

[elfin vortex]

Anyone else encounter an issue where your server gets stuck at 2/21 (random example) mod download and won't progress further? I've left it for long periods of time and come back to crashes, so don't think it's time related. Currently verifying files. If anyone would like to DM me or @ me if they have any fixes I could try I'd be grateful!

[polar sandal]

From official to official if I xfer with a dino in a cryopod in my inventory does it go with me?

[open ice]

Is it possible to dodge a flying boulder from a rock elemental?

[brazen robin]

pts can dodge

[open ice]

Umm, alright, so what in the world. So I just KO'd a Rock elemental

And its taming effectiveness was immediately at 60%

[brazen robin]

yep, thats how they work

[open ice]

is it not possible to KO a rock elemental at 100% taming effectiveness?

[brazen robin]

I think it is I'd just not worry about it 🤷 more trouble then its worth

[open ice]

Ughhhh

[open ice]

Then how? Does the rocket hit multiple times?

Does a single rocket hit several times? Is that why its taming effectiveness dropped so quickly?

[brazen robin]

I think its if the rocket hits the right spot or not

[bright mulch]

Some weapons have splash damage

[open ice]

I know Cannonballs hit more than once

I read that on the wiki, and on dododex, it is strongly advised to NOT deal the final hit to KO the golem with a cannon ball

[bright mulch]

Have you watched any youtube tutorials?

Just did a search and there is like 10 saying how to get 100%

[open ice]

I have not, but this isnt the first elemental I have tamed

I have tamed some before, like a long time ago, on my PlayStation before I moved to Steam.

[bright mulch]

Just from briefly watching the guide, their golem traps prevent splash damage

thereby allowing the 100%

[open ice]

I have A golem trap

It consists of 4 metal dino gates on all sides

[brazen robin]

ark has a habit of changing. could've changed since

[bright mulch]

I just watched captain fatdogs one

[bright mulch]

you mean evolving

[brazen robin]

nope

devolving

[bright mulch]

lol

[steady gale]

[open ice]

I mean, it will still gain 44 levels on tame and it is a very high level golem

I dont think the golem can be brought into the Manticore fight

[bright mulch]

wiki would know

[open ice]

Also, is there a stipulation that states what critters can be brought into boss fights

[bright mulch]

yea it can not be brought in

[brazen robin]

flyers can only be brought into manticore and crystal dragon. climbers only rockwell (ab)

big things like gigas can't

[bright mulch]

Its drag weight is too high

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

[brazen robin]

yeah based on drag weight :P

[bright mulch]

Too many numbers to worry bout

[open ice]

I know some exceptions exist. Like Reaper Kings can be brought into all arenas EXCEPT for Rockwell's. I know Wyverns can be brought into Manticore Arena, but according to some tests I have done, I prolly shouldnt bring them into the arena

[brazen robin]

nope, manticore and crystal dragon allow flyers

[bright mulch]

reapers can go in other boss battles

I got reapers into the Lost Island one

[brazen robin]

you wouldn't want to bring a reaper into rockwell's anyway lol reaper against reaper

[bright mulch]

granted they were R reapers

[open ice]

Im still annoyed that Reapers cant go into Rockwell's Arena

[brazen robin]

they said the other way around

all but rockwell :P

[bright mulch]

wait really

[brazen robin]

I've never checked, but with reapers in there you wouldn't want to lol

[bright mulch]

its got the weight

[open ice]

Why not?

[bright mulch]

That is from the rockwell arena wiki

[brazen robin]

reaper against reaper is a bad fight

if you have a light pet you'd be making yourself take more damage 🤷

[open ice]

But im sure Reaper against a bunch of nameless is a good fight

[bright mulch]

Thought our reapers are immune to light

[brazen robin]

nope

[bright mulch]

thats silly

[brazen robin]

they get the effect even from yourself

it makes more sense lol

[bright mulch]

nah man

[brazen robin]

also PvP would suck if it didn't work

[bright mulch]

should be like immune

[open ice]

Tbh, I have done dozens of tests with the Rockwell's arena, and I can not for the life of me find a team of VANILLA creatures that I can bring into the Rockwell fight and then win

[brazen robin]

feet

people do all the way to alpha without dinos

[open ice]

Every test I have done, all the critters die and then I die

[brazen robin]

you gotta get that cactus broth (that the one that makes you invisible right? )

[open ice]

There is a thing that makes me invisible?

[brazen robin]

not literally lol, just makes it so dinos don't see you as easily.

only rockwell sees you I believe

[open ice]

Im sure it doesnt work on nameless given the fact that they spawn as a result of the player's presence

[brazen robin]

unless you go upto one of the dinos

[brazen robin]

watch some of the people do the fight 🤷

[open ice]

Also, wouldnt I need to get the cactus stuff from Scorched Earth?

[brazen robin]

transfer is an intended part of the game :P

[open ice]

Transferring stuff to and from Aberration is a pain in the neck

[brazen robin]

very much so, especially on Singleplayer lol

once you get a rockdrake its not that hard tho

[open ice]

Because the ONLY terminals on the entire map of aberration are on the Surface and in the radiation zone

There is that and I was told that perishables cant be transferred between arks

[brazen robin]

they can they can just spoil in data

[open ice]

I was told that Shock Darts (The level 90ish tranq darts) are COMPLETELY inaccessable on Scorched Earth for this very reason

[open ice]

What is this list?

[brazen robin]

thats what can't be transfered

[brazen robin]

extinction too. that only effects official servers

[open ice]

Biotoxin aint accessable on Extinction?

[brazen robin]

nope, was removed when they removed corrupted deathworms

[open ice]

I knew those existed at some point

I vividly remember nearly killing myself because of one and then I just couldnt find or spawn them in

[brazen robin]

can you really not transfer kibble on officials sounds wrong

[chilly lion]

I'm trying to build a bridge that crosses a lake with several tamed creatures and I wanna build a bridge across it but due to the building mechanics I can't build floors very far, is there anyway I can increase the count?
I can't use dozens of pillers because it'll block the exit of the lake

[open ice]

Tek Bridges?

[open ice]

Idk. I’ll have to test

[chilly lion]

Never used those but I guess it could work

[brazen robin]

the only thing you can do is build the pillar, extend the ceilings build a new pillar before the last one and break the earlier pillar.

tek bridges suck

[open ice]

And wdym “that only effects official servers”?

[brazen robin]

:P

[brazen robin]

you can transfer them all you want on singleplayer and unofficials :P (can be edited)

I can transfer bio-toxin and the shocking tranqs on my private server :P

[open ice]

Well, I play single player, so that’s good to know

[brazen robin]

only this list can you not transfer without changing settings or mods.

[chilly lion]

God Arks building mechanics are killing my interest in playing.
I understand they are trying to be realistic but it can mind numbingly enraging

[frank knot]

Hey im on ps4 and I just got all the dlc finally and I wanted to play with someone on a new server dm me or add me at mathematical311

[elfin vortex]

Bumping this, verifying didn't seem to work D;

[brittle axle]

Guys, I need help with something on my singleplayer PS4 save

I recently updated ark and tried to get some of my creatures from other maps. I then transferred my character into Ragnarok and for some reason I’m no longer in my tribe. I luckily got some of my stuff and brought it back to Lost Island but then, my stuff in Lost Island are no longer my stuff because it considers me as not in my tribe anymore. I tried on other maps and it’s the same thing. After that, I checked on every map and it’s the same thing. I then went back to Lost Island and logged off but when I came back, it had me make another character even though my character is still alive in Lost Island, just left unconscious. If anyone could help me, please do. I have about a year’s worth of stuff on it.

[wanton edge]

I'm still experiencing crashes, the game just closes after half-way through loading. I only got an error message once, but it hasn't occurred since. I have tried several fixes but nothing has worked so far.

This issue occurred the second time I launched the game, as it had ran fine the first time. I started loading into a server and it crashed, I tried to join again but It said account was still in the server. I then decided to try singleplayer, but the same crashing issue occurred.

Does anyone know the reason or solution to these crashes, as I have been unable to play since I bought and first played the game.

Also here's a list of fixes I have tried:
directx12 verified, steam files verified, windows updated, drivers updated, ran .exe file in administrator, turned every setting down, waiting for several days, turned off all security software, closed every other large application. The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling, is that the only solution I have left?

[open ice]

Question. if I hit something with the Gen 2 Net Projectile that cant be snared by the net (Like a Rock elemental), will I still get a hitmarker telling me I actually hit it?

That and Can Phoenix be netted?

[long hornet]

On crystal isles there arent any nests or eggs will spawn? I have waited for like an hour and a half and have re rendered it like 20 times. I even used the destroy wild dinos command. what can I do to fix this?

[open ice]

What is the most effective critter to harvest Cactus sap?

[nocturne sluice]

Parasaurs

[open ice]

Interesting

Also, how does one tame a Phoenix with a Fire Wyvern given how difficult it is to aim while mobile?

[icy basin]

I tried and it didn't work but it's ok now

I got better gear than before 👌

[placid slate]

How do i fix fatal error crash in ark?

I just wanted to play w my friends again

[proper wharf]

Why does ark mobile not work

[fossil orbit]

My game keeps crashing and then it shows this, does anyone know what I have to do to fix it? (It happens once i start my single player world)

[quick spoke]

Is there a list of what the baby dinos eat?

[modern drift]

They eat the same as their parents with a handful of exceptions.
Wyverns eat wyvern milk
Crystal wyverns eat primal crystal.
Rock drakes eat nameless venom.
Magmasaurs eat sulphur/ambergris.

[plucky bone]

Yes you can but as with most consumables you can only transfer them once

[pure wagon]

Why?

[ionic sluice]

They are just stupidly rare so you might just be unlucky. Make sure to kill all the wyverns when they spawn as well. Also the eggs spawn outside the trench

[umbral wren]

we are dinosaurs after you did the ascension ?

half of my stuff is missing btw

[toxic seal]

at the place u just ascended off

[swift crow]

what button do i press to disconnect the noglin from a dino on xbox?

[umbral wren]

nope :c

[radiant falcon]

so im breeding and 1 of my perfect pairs are 176 i gave it low movement and low oxygen and then i got another baby the same lvl same stats and everything but this one has extra points into movement speed how does that make sense idk what to do lol

[lofty valve]

I just realized this bred argy is so useless becsuse even though parents were very close level the mom had every stat better other then food😭

[brazen robin]

on singleplayer you can only transfer from obelisks. so only from the surface. after you are already set up its fine, but transferring to ab means starting over (you can't bring items on SP)

[magic geode]

How do i like increase the max level cap of tamed dino like how many level they get also my character too

[pliant seal]

You don’t

They level up 88 times

[magic geode]

I mean Not by chibi but from the user setting configuration itself

[brazen robin]

thats how you change it.

[magic geode]

Oh lord i cant read that on my phone

[brazen robin]

first one is for players, second time is for dinos. they are extremely long, would suggest a calculator

[brazen robin]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration

[magic geode]

Ah thank you

[pine otter]

I just beat the overseer. Do I really have to start all over

[brazen robin]

no

[pure wagon]

OH, I totally forgot about that. They should give singleplayer some more love and make transfers similar to the server ones

[pine otter]

I want to play scorched earth now but it’s money

30$!!

[brazen robin]

yes, its a DLC.

[brazen robin]

comes with 3 maps

[pine otter]

So, do I keep it when I buy it

[pure wagon]

scorched earth, aberration, extinction

[pine otter]

Or when season ends I lose it

[brazen robin]

yes. its just a bundle

[pine otter]

Oh thank you

[brazen robin]

its not a pass like fortnite (or the others :P)

[pure wagon]

Genesis is a separate bundle

[pine otter]

🙏

[brazen robin]

plenty of free maps to play as well

[pure wagon]

That would really suck if that were the case

[magic geode]

Mate do you by amy chancd have the onr that give player 300 level and dino 500? Bcz i dont think i can write all of that by myself

[brazen robin]

thats why I suggest a calculator :P

[magic geode]

Eh wdym

[brazen robin]

there is beacon but you need omni I think

[brazen robin]

calculator = something that does it for you.

[magic geode]

Ah u know what ill just search it on some youtube vid or google

[brazen robin]

yeah, they might suggest beacon tho 🤷 that you need to pay for

[pine otter]

What does primitive plus do

[brazen robin]

Primitive Plus is a free add-on for ARK: Survival Evolved that alters the available tools, weapons and structures in the game to reflect what humans could realistically create using primitive technology and resources. This does not simply remove advanced technology from ARK, but instead replaces it with a multitude of new resources, engrams and systems.

beware, its mostly broken

[pine otter]

What lol

Is it like that thing I see YouTubers do with S+

[brazen robin]

S+ is a mod.

[safe oyster]

S+ is a mod and is very much not broken.

[pine otter]

Oh

[safe oyster]

S+ is just TLC for base building and structures, its not a revamp or overhaul like Primitive Plus

[pine otter]

So is primitive plus basically a lot harder

[brazen robin]

prim+ is a total conversion and its very much broken. I think dinos stopped spawning now

[magic geode]

Desolate whats a beacon?

[pine otter]

No no Dino’s

So*

[brazen robin]

beacon is an app that helps with changing ark settings. beacon omni is the paid version. both the free and paid ones help but omni has more in it (including levels)

[magic geode]

Damn

[brazen robin]

I wouldn't suggest paying for it if you just want to change the levels 🤷

I'm sure there is another calculator out there :P

[pine otter]

Any shame in using multipliers??

[brazen robin]

nope

you can play ark as you want :P

[pine otter]

: )

[plucky bone]

Just be careful you don't over do some of them as some multipliers will have disastrous results too far one way or the other lol

[brazen robin]

yeah, thats true

[long hornet]

I know and thank you

[rain mist]

will ark dlcs get a discount?

when the game is on discount itself i mean

[brazen robin]

depends on the sale, ark goes on sale often tho.

[rain mist]

summer sale?

[brazen robin]

you'll have to wait until the sale.

we don't know if its on sale until the sale

[rain mist]

tru

[brazen robin]

the season pass and ark go on sale pretty often, genesis not as often but its not that old :P

[rain mist]

aight lol thx

[red olive]

If you wait for a decent sale, you can get all ark and it's dlc for like 35

[azure bluff]

So i am just curious. I have just re-downloaded ARK and it has been a while since i last played. I have now waited 30 mins for the first mod to install? Is this meant to take so long?

[tranquil panther]

Is 9k dura on a riot shield good on smalls?

[kind leaf]

is there anyones tribe i can join on small tribes?

[brazen robin]

big mods, slow drives, etc. all effect how long it takes.

[versed eagle]

Any advice for taking down a trex? One of them has wondered too close to my home, and I am afraid it might try to hurt my dinos.

[native osprey]

ARK: Survival Evolved

[brazen robin]

what do you have? you can always lead it away if you are fast enough

[azure bluff]

If you have put just a bit into speed, take a bow/crossbow and do a shoot and then run

[versed eagle]

Crossbows and pterados.

[versed eagle]

How many arrows do I need to take it down? Cause I've already tried putting roughly 50ish arrows into it.

[azure bluff]

Lvl?

[versed eagle]

I think it's level 20 or so.

[azure bluff]

It shouldnt have that much health maybe 100?

[versed eagle]

So 100ish arrows?

[brazen robin]

rex starts with 1100 :P

[azure bluff]

I don't know exactly but around than should be enough

[brazen robin]

any level into it adds 220

[versed eagle]

Ow, would a rifle work better?

[azure bluff]

That depends on the stats

Of the rifle and crossbow

[brazen robin]

a level 20 would on average have 2-5 levels in health I guess.

[versed eagle]

Base rifle with scope and base crossbow.

[azure bluff]

Rifle then, but ammo is expensive

[brazen robin]

either is fine, just don't let it eat you

[versed eagle]

So taking this trex down is going to be a challenge?

[azure bluff]

Not really just shoot and then over and over till its dead

Or get on highground so it cant kill you

[versed eagle]

Okay

Time to die 20 times to kill this trex. At least my dilophosaurus will be safe. ^W^

[azure bluff]

But do i just give it time to load my mods? Or is there a way to speed it up?

[brazen robin]

time

[azure bluff]

Okay, thanks.

[open ice]

Can a Phoenix be snared by a Gen 2 Net?

or a chain bola?

[deft zodiac]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Net_Projectile

So yes for the net, check for the bola

[open ice]

So Net yes, bola no

[versed eagle]

It is done. The rex is dead.

[azure bluff]

Nice

[azure bluff]

I have waited an hour and still not even 1?

Do i need to unsubscribe and subscribe again or smth

And sry for the ping

[azure bluff]

Nvm got it working

[open ice]

Is the Ark wiki not working right for anyone else?

[brazen robin]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/ARK_Survival_Evolved_Wiki works for me

[open ice]

Is that the official one?

[brazen robin]

yes

[open ice]

I cant post a link to the one I normally use. But I use the Gampedia one

[brazen robin]

the fandom isn't official

[open ice]

Oof, well thats the one I always use

[brazen robin]

it just switched sites. use this one now.

[open ice]

How long ago did they switch?

[brazen robin]

not sure, recently

[open ice]

Does Scorched Earth have a Weather pattern? or are the weather events randomized?

Cuz I have been waiting for 5 hours for a heatwave

[brazen robin]

I think they are random

use a jerboa to tell you when one happens. then you can just do what want while waiting

[open ice]

Alright then. I know there is a console command that can force one to start but I aint gonna do that

[brazen robin]

they be super rare lol, I've seen a single weather event happen. granted I barely play the map :P

[open ice]

Over the many hours I was waiting, I saw quite a few weather events

A few sandstorms, multiple electrical storms, and one heatwave

Im waiting for another heatwave

[brazen robin]

I'm unlucky

[open ice]

I have NEVER seen rain on SE

But I have heard that rain can happen on SE

I just realized

Can I even net a phoenix and then tame it?

I just netted an Onyc in a cave and I saw the message "Onyc doesnt want to be tamed right now" and I can only assume thats because it was netted

[brazen robin]

you can place the trap over them afterwards not sure if you can tame them while netted 🤷

[vale girder]

why cant i put gen 2 tek suit on on extinction

[brazen robin]

make sure you have the DLC (3 parts on xbox) installed, and you need the tekgrams to use some of the active powers on other maps

[vale girder]

says requires genesis to equip but i have genesis installed

[brazen robin]

make sure you have all 3 parts installed

[bronze nexus]

Can someone help me

[polar sandal]

If I xfer servers with a dino in a cryopod in my inventory will everything turn out okay on the other end?

[pine token]

Generally, yes. On Unofficial at any rate. The only potential issue I'm aware of is compatibility on the map you're transferring to (e.g. Ab dinos only on Ab.)

[polar sandal]

Going from official to official with a pt. Read some things saying the dino may lose its stats so I'm scared lol

[brazen robin]

you should say what your problem is, not every problem is equal and people might know the answer to some rather than others.

[brazen robin]

that only happens on unclustered servers

[fringe rover]

Nope, that only happens when a cryopod (fert egg) is transferred through an unclustered obelisk, which is pretty much only non dedicated transfers

[brazen robin]

or non-dedi/SP to non-dedi/SP when you aren't the host of one.

[polar sandal]

Well, I'm on a Xbox official lost island and trying to get blue crystals so figured I'd go to abberation, and save a death run to a drop to get a flier. I don't believe it's clustered so maybe I should try with a dodo first

[brazen robin]

flyers can't go on ab

go to crystal for gems. the ice mountain has all the gems in the ele shard crystals

@polar sandal if officials share the same name and PvP or PvE (not map/number) then they are clustered

[polar sandal]

Oh, well that's good to know lol. What about maewings? Kinda low level stone age still but I might be able to make some fur armor.

[brazen robin]

maewings can yes. they be gliders

[open ice]

I have a huge question

[polar sandal]

Just looking at a resource map, no experience, aberration seemed easiest to get gems

[open ice]

So I built a large structure around a phoenix between heatwaves

This structure included a roof

[brazen robin]

I'd still say its crystal ab you need to go to blue zone which means nameless or light pet. while crystal is just going to the ice mountain and mining it

flyers work on crystal 🤷

[open ice]

And then when the heatwave FINALLY started, the phoenix spawned ONTOP of my structure

[fringe rover]

Its also very hard to transfer off of ab once you have the gems

[open ice]

WHY?

[polar sandal]

Lost island seems to have just one spawn out in some cave. I'll give crystal isles a go

[fringe rover]

Because ark

[brazen robin]

yeah, drops aren't very common.

[polar sandal]

Oof

[brazen robin]

and then Singleplayer is just obelisks :P

[open ice]

How in the world are you supposed to Trap a phoenix without a roof???

[brazen robin]

more than 1 roof

[polar sandal]

Large trap door maybe?

[open ice]

What do you mean? How would more than one roof affect ANYTHING?

And also, the wiki is wrong

The Phoenix CAN NOT be netted

[fringe rover]

Then change it

[open ice]

When hit with the net, the phoenix will get that extra texture layer as if it has the net on it, but it will still fly around like nothing is wrong

[brazen robin]

the wiki has a bunch of things wrong with nets. it says you can't net wyverns

[polar sandal]

I mean... You can... They just don't like it

[brazen robin]

lol

[polar sandal]

Kinda like you can punch a giga

[open ice]

How in the heck do you tame the phoenix???!?!?

[polar sandal]

My buddy just made a trap

Dino gates

[open ice]

It just teleports ontop of it and flies away when the next heatwave starts!

[brazen robin]

fire wyvern

no I'm not kidding

[polar sandal]

I put a pressure plate on one side so it automatically closed the doors when we went through too. Was handy

Eh we didn't have heat waves so Im probably out of my league

[open ice]

That doesnt change the fact that the Phoenix will teleport ontop of highest layer of the structure when it spawns

[brazen robin]

doesn't always, look at videos. tons of people trap them

[open ice]

I built a trap based off a video

And the phoenix escaped it before it even spawned

[polar sandal]

If it fits through a large dino trap door I dunno. Maybe use that as a roof and just close it when needed

[open ice]

How? You cant aim the thing. You cant stun the phoenix. The hitbox of the phoenix is tiny, the hit box of the wyvern's breath is weird

[brazen robin]

a trap

they do work.

[open ice]

When the trap from the most viewed video under "Ark Phoenix Trap" doesnt work, are you sure about that?

[brazen robin]

just because it doesn't work once, it never works 🤷

I've had dinos TP out of argy traps before

they still work

[open ice]

How do you tame it once it escapes the trap?

[brazen robin]

same way in a trap

carefully

[open ice]

Because I refuse to wait for ANOTHER Heatwave to tame this Phoenix

I swear

I am hitting this thing beautifully with the fire breath from my wyvern

And it is not counting!

[brazen robin]

no idea,

[open ice]

What is the command to start a heatwave?

[real nebula]

Guys I have questions
I have two Ovis, one has horns and the other doesn't
Both are female
Why

[naive dust]

Female shouldn’t have horns

[bright mulch]

cheat ce start_superheat

[weary depot]

i a common bob requires gen pass

please gib

[tall heath]

i need somone to help me figure out why my inprinting setting stopped working for no reason i was using 10 mature speed - 0.1 cuddle interval and i was working fine bow now when i inprint on a dino i only get plus 1 and i can inprint on the instintly even though before it was about 8 mins till i could inprint. i havnt changed any settings

[brazen robin]

are you on gen2?

[tall heath]

ye

[brazen robin]

did you do missions?

[tall heath]

i havnt done many

[brazen robin]

they have effects, you can check active ones in the mission menu

[tall heath]

one of them decreases mating interval

is that it?

[brazen robin]

what are the others

[tall heath]

hatchling grow up faster

[brazen robin]

that would be it

[nimble otter]

I've just started playing on genesis with a friend on a hosted non-dedicated server, both using Xbox Series S. for some reason i cant pick up a lot of plants even with the hand icon on the screen, yet if he tries (he is hosting) he can fine.

[brazen robin]

imprint timer is both the cuddle interval and the mature speed

[brazen robin]

I'd say its just a desync

unless it says (harvest with a tool) and then you are too close to a rock/tree/etc

[tall heath]

ya but what do i do to fix it c;

[nimble otter]

nah its not a tool issue

i've put enough hours into ark to know when its something basic

[steady gale]

gen 2 is poorly optimized

[tall heath]

i can inprint it as soon as its born but it only gives plus 1 inrprint

[steady gale]

you could try relogging

[nimble otter]

hopefully when i log back in it will work fine, its the first time i've had the issue

[steady gale]

it's usually just desync

[nimble otter]

cool, hopefully its just that, thanks 🙂

[brazen robin]

got a few options. easiest is to disable the mission buffs otherwise you have to change your settings so they don't break when the boost is active

[nimble otter]

another issue I have, which i feel is a setting somewhere. I cant place structures over his. For instance, he put a wooden foundation down and i want to upgrade it to stone, but it wont let me place it.

[tall heath]

how do i disable the mission buffs?

[brazen robin]

in game.ini

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#:~:text=missions on Genesis-,bDisableWorldBuffs,-boolean

[steady gale]

that's an interesting thing, are you admin as well?

[brazen robin]

make sure you are in the same tribe and have permissions to destroy structures

[steady gale]

he could just give him admin perms

it would be an easy fix considering it's unofficial

[nimble otter]

good question. probably not. I'm assuming I'd have to be?

I figured that being in the same tribe would be enough to interact with it. I have the same issues when playing with my daughter, cant interact with structures other people place

[brazen robin]

its supposed to

[steady gale]

yeah turn on destroy structures maybe

[brazen robin]

in the tribe settings make sure destroy structures is everybody and not admin only (or promote to admin 🤷)

[nimble otter]

ok cool, we will have a suss

[steady gale]

either one will work

[brazen robin]

should might be something else :P

[steady gale]

LOL

true true, anything could cause a problem these days

[nimble otter]

hah, if it doesn't, you'll know about it 😉

[dim fossil]

not sure if this is illegal but are there any skiff builds that are asteroid proof?

[hollow ledge]

any PvE server for a beginner like me? I played on a server like an hour-two and then I realized I couldn't build my house cuz there were full of pillars

[pine token]

Lots of options over in the bulletin board channels

[tall heath]

it says my dinos are ready to mate in 2 hours how do i make that shorter?

[steady gale]

mating interval

[nimble hinge]

hi i have a problem i'm trying to play ark with mods but as soon as i do to create a world the game freezes and does nothing and i have to close it through the activity management, you know why ark doesn't work for me if i use mods ?

[sly bramble]

What is the fastest way for me to get around 60 black pearls if I have no water creatures other than a level 39 baryonix?

[modern drift]

What map?

[sly bramble]

The island

[modern drift]

Okay.

Black pearls are annoying on the island, but trilobites drop them in small quantities if you don't mind the grind. It is safe.

[sly bramble]

I killed like 5 of them with a metal pick and only got one black pearl 😅

[modern drift]

With your current level of aquatic prowess, it's really your only feasible option.

Everything else will eliminate your baryonyx.

[sly bramble]

Yeah on land I am pretty set up as I was breeding yuteranuses and rexs, but on water I have nothing 😔 I guess I'll try looking for those trilobites then haha

[modern drift]

Otters can also give you black pearls when killing fish, it's another safe option but I have no idea how fast it is.

[sly bramble]

Hmm, worth the try!

Thank you for the help😁

[modern drift]

Your welcome, good luck.

[quick spoke]

Daedon stats?

[deft zodiac]

Food

[quick spoke]

Health need?

[deft zodiac]

Not really

[quick spoke]

Ok.

[naive dust]

It would be so much faster to tame an ichthy and kill sea scorpions with it.

[sly bramble]

Yes farming those little guys didn't give me anything so I am taming a lv 80 baryonix to try killing those 😅

[naive dust]

Watch your stamina! They apply a debuff that will stop your tames stamina from replenishing. Ichthy are immune to it.

[fathom kindle]

Go to extinction and tame a black Pearl gacha

[bronze steeple]

Hey guys is there going to be a fix eventually for wyvern eggs not spawning in singleplayer

is there a way to fix it using commands or am I just going to have to wait a bit as the eggs seem to only work when I make it my host map and I'm playing on the island

did the devs do this on purpose

[naive dust]

wyvern eggs dont spawn on the island

[bronze steeple]

yes but I travel to other maps like rag and lost island

[naive dust]

Just give them time to spawn

[bronze steeple]

and when I do that I'm looking for wyvern egs

[bronze steeple]

okay but I give it like 2 ingame days and nothing spawns

how long do I need to wait?

[naive dust]

as long as it takes. if theres a set timer i dont know what it is

[bronze steeple]

ah okay

sorry I caused a problem I just really want a dragon

I also have hibernation on but when I try to turn it off it doesn't turn off

[charred vale]

try do a wipe on all wilds, maybe it will respawn

[pure wagon]

How does the level of wyvern and rock drake eggs scale with difficulty?

[pure wagon]

i figured it out

[dire schooner]

Anyone know why it wont place ? #building-screenshots

[modern drift]

Ask in #building-discussions, you'll get an answer sooner.

[quick spoke]

How much health or food is gd for a daedon?

[sly bramble]

I don't have any dlcs I play on Nintendo 😅

[sly bramble]

Ohh I did not know that, I will tame an ichthy then, you saved me thanks 😅

[polar sandal]

Trying to put a wind turbine on lost island. I see other maps that show wind speed of areas, but not lost island. Does it matter where I put it? Also it seems it will snap to electric wires but wires won't snap to it

From what I can tell is wind is consistent through the map, however there is no wind at night. So basically solar panels

[keen oyster]

Can carnos put up a fight against alpha creatures?

[pine otter]

How many standing torches to I need for this stupid 170 ice wyverb egg.

It keeps saying too cold

It’s working!

[polar sandal]

That many

[plucky bone]

Think standing torches is about 15 but if I'm still at the primitive stage of the game I use the stone fireplaces

[hollow spear]

If you can make ac it helps a lot and don't need too many

[plucky bone]

Unlike rock drakes lol

[keen oyster]

Ok thanks

[pine token]

~12, iirc

[west sand]

Please can someone help me?
I need help trying to get on to a different server region

[hollow spear]

what map?

[formal vapor]

Hello guys, i'm new on ark, I have some questions, I want to prepare to kill boss and release tek items soon, what is the easiest boss to kill? and which is the best dino to fight with boss, Shadowmane or TRex?

I will try to kill the boss solo

[red olive]

What map are you on?

Or just any map?

[formal vapor]

Any map, I'm playing on genesis 2 I think the boss here is difficult

[red olive]

Hmm, gen2 isn't actually terrible, getting the missions is a little rough though

For easiest boss I would say ab, or the center if you know the strats

[trail pasture]

Center is probably the easiest boss, but you need to know how to do it

[brazen robin]

if you are console Singleplayer, you don't have to do the hunt missions tho (overworld ones :P)

[trail pasture]

Otherwise probably ab

[red olive]

Otherwise the manticore monkey and titans are easy

[trail pasture]

No wait

[red olive]

With rexes vs shadowmane, I depends

[trail pasture]

Def se

Se is so easy

[brazen robin]

wouldn't brood be easy if you know how as well, since you can just use a shotgun and a kangroo

[red olive]

If you like farming hide, go with rexes, if you like a little more mutations go with shadowmanes

[formal vapor]

I'm playing in the official

[red olive]

Sometimes the dps is a problem

[trail pasture]

Time is a big issue for island brood

[red olive]

To beat the alpha brood you would need an insane shotgun

[brazen robin]

ah, right solo :P

can't duel wield shotguns 😂

[red olive]

I don't even know if a 700 shotgun could beat the alpha brood in time solo lol

[trail pasture]

I don't think that it's possible solo with normal weapon caps

[brazen robin]

if you are official you can trade for OP mutated rexes sometimes they just give you things too 😂

[formal vapor]

oh

[hollow spear]

If ur on official PvE and u have tributes I can come kill whatever for u

[red olive]

That takes all the challenge out of it though

It's easy enough to beat the bosses anyway though

[hollow spear]

If you have ab can do on foot :D

[formal vapor]

i play on xbox server

[hollow spear]

Ah yeah lol sry

[trail pasture]

Do SE boss, easiest boss in the game without having to jump on a ledge

[brazen robin]

based on rough math it would only take 400 seconds to kill with 700%

how long is alpha boss fight?

[trail pasture]

15 minutes?

[red olive]

I think 12 minutes right?

[brazen robin]

thats with constant shooting so you'd need to reload :P but seems to be possible

[trail pasture]

I'mma google

[brazen robin]

can't get 700% on officials tho

[red olive]

Is that counting reload time?

[brazen robin]

no just shooting.

[trail pasture]

That's 700% shotguns tho

[red olive]

Okay, reload is 3 seconds per clip I think

[brazen robin]

oh no the wiki number already counts reload time

[trail pasture]

And you have to make the jump first try
looks at my tribemate

[red olive]

I think it's something like 8 seconds for a full clip right, unless I am getting mixed up with a different game

[brazen robin]

I think. maybe I'm reading it wrong.

[formal vapor]

I think I'll do that, get all the tributes and ask someone to kill xD

[red olive]

You could farm poly and trade for a line

With 5 capped xrexes you can beat almost any boss

[formal vapor]

yes

it will take a long time to breed my dinos

[brazen robin]

okay based on my new rough math the number before counts reload time. but doesn't count lag time so double that 😂

then add another 200 seconds for missed shots :P

[formal vapor]

nice

[red olive]

Yeah you would be cutting it close on an official server with a shotgun

[brazen robin]

don't think you could solo with max. its like 214% or something right

[red olive]

Add that to the fact that shotguns are dumb and sometimes ignore the fact that you shot

[brazen robin]

and its officials so constant lag.

[red olive]

Definitely not on official, takes like 4 people to cheese alpha brood

It's much better to do the center

[brazen robin]

nice to know that my wild tamed spinos died for nothing tho. could've just killed it with a shotgun 😂

[formal vapor]

it's true that's a problem

[brazen robin]

I mean, you play gen 2 right? thats the subtitle of the map. Genesis part 2: the lag returns

[formal vapor]

hahaha

[trail pasture]

And hit reg and reload glitch and the shoot glitch

[formal vapor]

I chose to play on gen 2 because of that

[odd elm]

should i use megalosaur or spinosaur for beta rockwell

[little reef]

Is it possible for a wild Giga to die on the island (pve) I found one a while back when I couldn't tame it but now that I can I can't find it anywhere. My only thought was it died but with 80k health and insane damage what could possibly do that. Any thoughts?

[trail pasture]

It could have despawned

[little reef]

Then wouldn't another spawn? I've checked all spawn locations like 10 times now

They spawn on/near the 5 mountains right?

[trail pasture]

Are you in sp?

[little reef]

Yea

[trail pasture]

You could do a Dino wipe

[little reef]

Was thinking that

I'll try it. Thanks

[molten falcon]

How do i join a solo session after you leave it?

[red olive]

Megalos

[odd elm]

thanks

[red olive]

100000%

[little reef]

How long does a large bear trap hold a Giga for?

[pine otter]

How do you know if you have got a stat mutation in ark.

[gusty garnet]

Can a tek rail gun damag force fields and tek gend

[pine otter]

“In ark” like we are talking about Minecraft 🤦‍♂️

[brazen robin]

the stats change from the parents (if you know their base stats), tells you in the egg incubator. or the mutation counter goes up (doesn't tell you which stat)

[pine otter]

So if it doesn’t tell you which stat, there isn’t a way to know if you got a melee or health mutation.

[brazen robin]

the egg incubator or knowing the original stats

[pine otter]

Oh

[fallow elk]

any oce time zoners?? willing to join my tribe?

[brazen robin]

the counter just tells you if you got one as it goes up

@fallow elk #735196255483068497

[pine otter]

What if the parents have different stats from one another

[brazen robin]

check both, if neither match then its a mutation. again its base stats not the levels you put in

[pine otter]

So an abnormal boost in a stat saying there has been a mutation is the stat that was been mutated

[gusty garnet]

Can tek rail gun damage force field

[brazen robin]

unless they were wild, then it can also be taming effectiveness boost. as babies will always have 100% while if you had 50% the stats will be worse.
not completely sure how that all works but it does effect it :P

[pine otter]

Thanks. Mutations can be so confusing 😵‍💫

[quick spoke]

How much health is good for Rex for the monkey boss on the island?

[red olive]

20k should be fine

[tight mica]

i was playing with commands the other day but now the control panel no longer opens

how can i fix this ?

[naive dust]

Depends on the armor of you saddles really.

[quick spoke]

The basic saddle?

[naive dust]

You’re gonna want more HP with 25 armor saddles. Depending on melee I could see you beating gamma monkey. Higher than that I would recommend farming rex saddle bps though.

[quick spoke]

Ok

[dusk kernel]

is there a way to keep your stuff (after get killed) longer / where is the setting?

or should i change it in GUI?

[modern drift]

Corpse decompose. It affects the bag.

[pure wagon]

both

[solar salmon]

can someone help me, my ark constantly crashes after playing for 2 hours

i have no mods and im playing on singleplayer

i reinstalled it like 3 times and it crashes anyways

[pure wagon]

It might have to do with your graphic settings

[solar salmon]

they are all on minimum

[tall heath]

i have bready my shadow mains over 100 times and havnt gotten any mutations is there a reason for that or just unlucky

[pure wagon]

Are you doing it correctly?

[solar salmon]

ok so i just did a clean reinstall of ark

ima try now

[soft crow]

Do they have lower than 20/20 mutations?

[tall heath]

like

they have 5

i think

[soft crow]

Sureee?

[tall heath]

yeeeee

do u know if the dino storage mod

would effect it

[soft crow]

Nope, xbox

Dont know

[tall heath]

cuz i stopped getting mutations when i useed the soul terminal

to pick the dino up

[soft crow]

Its like 2.5% chance to mutate for each side that can mutate. Without mods

[tall heath]

i guess im just unlucky

[soft crow]

So its easy possible to breed 200 with just getting 1 or 2 mutations, and the third time you get a dozen

[tall heath]

cuz yeah i legit got triplet with melee mutation and then none for 4 hours

[soft crow]

Try to breed something that cant mutate, will stack your chance

[tall heath]

alr

[rotund pecan]

I've had a weird issue and need to revert to a save file, how should I do that?

I was changing my .ini's (mate speed if it matters) and it reset all my settings and mods. When I opened the game again I found it strange that the map was set to the island and the graphics were at default but didn't think much of it. When I loaded into scorched I hadn't had any mods loaded so all the modded stuff in my inv was gone. I logged out straight away because I knew something was up, and I wasn't near my base so I didn't want it to render in case.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[dusk kernel]

so just increase the decompose / decrease it?

[solar salmon]

ctrl z

nvm dont do that lol

[modern drift]

Increase. I have it at 6.0 and it's 3 hours.

[polar sandal]

I've read a few places that argies can pick up dinos with their claw, and small dinos with their beak. I cannot however figure out how to do this on Xbox, or if it was an old feature

[modern drift]

You still can. It can be finicky but it's right joystick. It only works on dodo sized stuff.

[polar sandal]

Like r3?

Thought that was just the regular pickup with talons

[modern drift]

The joystick.

Same thing to sprint but on the opposite stick.

[polar sandal]

Sorry but, press down on the joystick? Like r3? Or move the joystick itself

[modern drift]

Press down.

[polar sandal]

Gotcha

I have three dung beetles and an argie.... I think if I do this right...

[nimble otter]

i swear i just left trigger

[polar sandal]

Yeeeah r3 isn't working for me.

Shouldn't be surprising tho

Wiki says hold r3, also a bust

[nimble otter]

try left trigger

[polar sandal]

Maybe dung beetles too big? I can carry them by hand tho like dodos

Lt is claw grab

Doesn't do anything while standing

[nimble otter]

no, you need to be flying to pick dinos up

[polar sandal]

Right

So Lt is just regular claw grab, and doesn't do anything different if just standing

[nimble otter]

nope

[polar sandal]

What I'm after is the beak grab

[nimble otter]

i've never seen a beak grab

but i've never tried

[polar sandal]

Me neither, wiki talks about it though

[nimble otter]

i just claw grab and carry things. but for a dung, i'd just pick it up and jump on the argie

[polar sandal]

With its large talons, the Argentavis is able to pick up small creatures as well as certain medium sized ones.

Default Controls:
RMB (for PC)
LT (for Xbox)
L2 (for PS4)

Due to the strength of its neck, it may also use its beak to pick up an additional small creature.

Default Controls:
C (for PC)
Hold Right Analog (for Xbox)
Hold Right Analog (for PS4)

[nimble otter]

interesting... i'll have to try it when i jump back on next

[dusk kernel]

is there a command to summon all the tamed dino?

[hexed copper]

when entering multiplayer mode in lost island, my textures arent fully loaded

[lofty stratus]

that's most likely gonna be something to do with your pc not pulling it weight so i suggest turning down your graphics settings if that does not work i suggest getting in contact with support

or you just need to let it load for a second

[nimble otter]

i have a texture issue on my series S too, textures wont load properly, on scorched earth my map doesn't load properly

on lost island, dino textures sometimes dont want to load right

[lofty stratus]

okay so on xbox its pre set so all the isues will be the same for everyone so im gonna take a wild guess and say that you either need to let it load or turn down your render distance or graphics

or you need to clean it

[nimble otter]

clean it?

[lofty stratus]

yeah due to xbox series s being compact every components is mushed together so if you smoke or have pets hairs and dust and sutch can get into your cooler making it so that it wont cool properly and overheating your xbox a little

[nimble otter]

at best then it would be dust, as i dont smoke or have pets, but where it is situated is unlikely to get much dust on it at all. but i'll give it a crack

given i've only had the console for a month or 2 seems a bit extreme

[lofty stratus]

nah its probably not that its dirty

so just see if u can turn down your settings a bit

if u have anymore questions feel free to dm me

[nimble otter]

cheers, i'll give it a go after i finish watching this ep

[lofty stratus]

oh also the server could just be overloaded

[nimble otter]

its single player

[sinful hull]

I have problem with my steam download with ark, dm then i can send the picture with the error

[topaz fox]

are you on mac?

[sinful hull]

No

windows

[topaz fox]

oh ok then idk

[sinful hull]

:/

[native spruce]

yo peeps, im playing on a server and i have found a high lvl wooly rhino that i want to tame. He has 2.2k health and 6.2k torpor? tried to knock but if i kept going i wouldve killed em. How do i do this?

[void relic]

If you have a snow owl healie it

[native spruce]

on the island

[void relic]

No they are on gen 2 , exciton,lost island

[native spruce]

na im saying im on the island so no i dont have a snow owl

so im kinda stumped

[void relic]

You can easily transfer to a different map tame one and bring it back

[void relic]

Wait till it heals back then tame it with a long neck

[native spruce]

with a snow owl as well or will the long neck be enough

currently using mastercraft crossbow

[void relic]

Yes but a long neck should be enough

[native spruce]

okay and if i log off with it in a trap will it despawn?

[void relic]

No

[void relic]

Are you in a server

[native spruce]

yeah

are snow owls a pain to tame or not bad?

[void relic]

The same trap as a argentavis

[void relic]

But just use a net gun and there you go

[native spruce]

they just eat meat yeah?

[hollow spear]

yeah

[void relic]

Use mutton they will tame in less than 7 minutes

[void relic]

Also depends on your server rate

[native spruce]

yeah aighty, thanks for your help!

[void relic]

Welcome

[woven owl]

i picked up a otter how do i throw it lol

[versed egret]

Why the fuck are nameless and reapers constantly spawning on top of me and in my base even while lights are on.

[woven owl]

how do i throw otters

[versed egret]

Double tap x on controller

[woven owl]

but what about on pc

[versed egret]

Double click what ever button u used to pick it up or you don’t have it key binded

[woven owl]

ok now i know

thanks

[rain mist]

are cryos one time use?

[modern drift]

No. They are usable for 30 real life days without recharge. This time ticks down even when cryopods are empty. Cryopods can be recharged at a cryofridge and power drains at half speed in a fridge.

[modern drift]

How much time is there from opening the Tek cave to the defeat of the overseer?

[fringe rover]

That depends on how well you can do it and how many people you have

The time limit is 1 hour for the tek cave and I believe the overseer doesn’t have a time limit, but I could be wrong on that one

[modern drift]

How long is the overseer likely to take say on alpha?

[fringe rover]

Well again that depends on your army and the amount of people you have

[quartz shore]

Hello, I am a player who used to play a lot of small tribes but if never gotten that far. And if decided to start over again. So if maybe someone has anything or something they can afford to lose. Any help would be appreciated (dm me)

[modern drift]

Would the boss itself take anymore than an hour solo with an army only barely capable of killing it?

[fringe rover]

If the army kills it it should only take around 10-15 min
If they die and you have to shoot at it on foot, then it’ll take an hour or more

[modern drift]

Okay. Thank you for your help, and I apologise for the vague question.

[lofty fiber]

what pvp server would you suggest for 4 casual players (200 hours each)? I have been debating unofficial (since official PVP smalltribes seems filled with hardcore veterans), but these seem to wipe quite frequently. What would you suggest?

[heady drum]

can i only tame a bloodstlaker on gennis ?

[plucky bone]

Normal lights don't repel nameless, only light pets or plant species plants

[dim robin]

Can Someone who is up in rank or something help me. Plz dm me

[feral sedge]

can someone put on the tek chestpiece, glide in the air, and try to drink water?

I'm unable to and it seems wrong

[topaz fox]

lmao why would u try that

[feral sedge]

well I was trying to get a procopt and was two mushrooms short, so I was gliding over these shitty hills to get back and couldn't drink

it got eaten right as I came over the last hill so that was a waste of time, too

[topaz fox]

lmao

then just take a bottle with u

[feral sedge]

no, you misunderstand

I can't drink from my tek canteen while gliding

[topaz fox]

oh ok

then drink before you go

[feral sedge]

[tepid ivy]

I’ve been playing Ark for a couple years now and I still don’t have tek access. Anyone able to link me up with a boss fight ? I sincerely wanna keep playing but Tek really limits my potential growth

[charred vale]

sorry im not trying to be rude, but you been playing for couple years and not a single boss fight yet? what have you been doing all this time?

[tepid ivy]

Lol I bounced on and off with having my kid and the wife getting a bit anerved by me playing so much but now my kid loves to watch and all other times I had a fight lined up, people bailed, or got raided, or fell asleep… yadda yadda… so tbh, just dumb unluckiness.

Setbacks never ceased and it blew my kind how close I’d get… but yea… just a sorry sadsack without the tek lol

[charred vale]

if you cant find people to team up for boss, i recomended you do ragnarok boss fight thats if u have decent rex line

ragnarok boss are easier to do and can be solo

i did mine alone way back in ragnarok map

[tepid ivy]

Lol forgive my candor, but thats almost an “affluent” way of putting it 😂. I have no lines, I have a vault of stockpiled finding from gen2 to begin building up a good solo base, but no access to the tek items that could help. And tribes don’t like the idea of a dude who doesn’t have tek being a liability with limited access. Soo.. yea. I have no lines lol, a few cryod tames of beginner proportions, and just the drive to farm for a seat in a fight tbh.

[charred vale]

sounds like you need a better tribe lol

[tepid ivy]

Lol they’ve all bailed since I played back when. Moved on to rust, or other stuff. And a better tribe would mean I’d have to actually HAVE a tribe. Lol. Which is what I’m trying to accomplish

[charred vale]

wish i could help but im on pc, plus i'm in pve

[tepid ivy]

Well, don’t forget about me if you hear anything of good substance! 🤜 🤛

[charred vale]

maybe try find and trades some decent lines as a starter

u gonna need it

[feral sedge]

I'm about to lose my mind, I transferred to scorched to get a few things, now I go back to the island and everything says it's owned by my character but I don't have access

again

[tepid ivy]

Exit out and jump back in, shouldn’t be permanent

[charred vale]

proberly u got kicked from tribe

[tepid ivy]

Kicked wouldn’t show ownership

[feral sedge]

single player, offline, not on a server, try again

[charred vale]

try transfer again

[charred vale]

use admin command to get back the access

[feral sedge]

I shouldn't have to is the point

[charred vale]

this happens alot even in officials server

i got kicked countless of time during transfer servers b4

[feral sedge]

so I exited out of the game, @tepid ivy

guess what's gone now

[tepid ivy]

??

[feral sedge]

that entire character

[tepid ivy]

Nooooo…??

You can’t download it??

[charred vale]

try relog from scorched earth

it might still be there

[feral sedge]

I just did and it's gone

[charred vale]

also from both map?

[feral sedge]

400 hours and it's just gone

[tepid ivy]

That should not be the case… 🤦‍♂️

[feral sedge]

and yet this character deletion is a constant problem

I should not have to back my entire save collection up every time I play "just in case"

my last save backup is three months ago, so let's hope that doesn't break anything

[storm thicket]

ayo can anyone help me, whenever i load into my world and try to open a bag on the ground i get this message

nvm

i cant send it here its too long

[feral sedge]

alright well, that backup worked, and it looks like it's only 30-40 hours of work I lost

[topaz fox]

still a lot

[feral sedge]

if there's a way to pull game logs off my PS4 and include them next time, I'd like to know how

[topaz fox]

Wut?

[feral sedge]

many video games have an internal log that runs per session, and includes errors and other verbose information about what happened, so the cause of a character being deleted should in theory be there

[polar sandal]

Don't think there's any logging past what you see on the server console

[lunar arch]

how do i use the tapejara plasma cannon

[red olive]

I think c, or ctrl

[lunar arch]

ctrl thx

[gusty haven]

so the game just wont open after i press start, what do i do?

[little reef]

I tammed a lv300 (450 with taming effectiveness) rex and it has 15400 health and 243% meele. Is it a good one to start breeding off of? Or should I find a better one

[steady gale]

Pretty good health, not that great of melee

[little reef]

What should I aim for then?

[brittle inlet]

Not sure if this is the right channel, but I turn on Allow Flyer Carry PvE, then when I go in it just doesn't work (in a non-dedicated server) i've tried changing it in ini settings and it still didn't work, if anyone knows how to fix this plz tell me. Or, if anyone knows how to make there be no cryo sickness on pvp, then tell me that instead.

[steady gale]

Do you also have the allow flyer carry setting turned on?

[brittle inlet]

yes

[steady gale]

You’re using left trigger to pick stuff up to right?

[brittle inlet]

windows 10

[steady gale]

Right click rather than c right

[brittle inlet]

yes

[steady gale]

Hm, interesting problem. What creature are you trying to use and what creature are you trying to carry?

[trail pasture]

What are you trying to pick up and with what

[brittle inlet]

Argentavis, and carrying a ankylo, u cab pick it up when i turn on pvp

its just I don't want cryo sickness

[steady gale]

You can indeed pick it up.

Hm

[trail pasture]

You can't pick up a cryosicked tame

[steady gale]

Ohhh

[brittle inlet]

no im trying to avoid cryosickness, so i want to stay on pve

it doesnt have cryosickness

[steady gale]

Maybe the ini settings messed it up

[trail pasture]

PvE doesn't have cryosickness?

[brittle inlet]

yes

[trail pasture]

Sheeesh

[steady gale]

I’ve never messed with ini on Windows 10 so I don’t know

[brittle inlet]

Just tried turning on through ini and still didnt work

[little reef]

I realized my settings were screwed up and dino damage was a lot lower than normal. My rex came out with 490 meele. Is that good?

[steady gale]

That’s fairly strong yes

[little reef]

Ok thanks

[granite herald]

on the fur armor, is it the hyper or hypo insulation i should look at to keep me warm in cold areas?

[steady gale]

Hypo

[granite herald]

thx 🙂

[steady gale]

Hyper is for heat, hypo for cold

[unborn rock]

hyper means hot, hyperthermia is over-heating to death, hypo means cold, hypothermia means freezing to death (i know you already got a answer but i felt like typing)

[tired harbor]

I guess I am a bob with prob lol

but I am curious about what I am doing wrong when trying to advertise. I keep getting denied and I have no clue what for and then I have to wait another 6 hrs, just so it can happen again.

Could anyone help me figure this out? pleeeease 🙂

[molten falcon]

What's good stats for spino

[molten falcon]

If you add a link it will take it down

[keen reef]

Does anybody know how to crossplay between Xbox (series s) and pc? My friend is on pc im pretty sure he bought ark from steam. I've been looking it up and can never get a straight answer.

[tired harbor]

I figured it out. The internet ruin my server name and I had 0 clue why until today.

[bright mulch]

Steam is not crossplay with xbox

They need to be using the version from the Microsoft store

[tawdry ferry]

What does it mean when a reaper keeps roaring over and over?

[gentle hemlock]

uhh

[potent wagon]

how do i glide instead of dive bombing with the sinamocrops

when i hold crouch it just makes me dive into the ground

[naive dust]

The only way to remove tether is to switch to dedicated

[feral sedge]

so I have my ♀️ snow owl hatched and it's in this procop pouch, it wants to go on a walk with me, how do I do this? just let the procop follow me, or do I have to take the owl out? I've now had the procop follow me so far my entire base is out of render distance and nothing.

[thick basin]

Does anyone know if herbivorous creatures will eat veggie cakes on there own? Like uh a theri eating one without the survivor force feeding it one, during a boss battle?

[smoky parcel]

Whenever I try spawning on lost island the game freezes

i can still move my mouse on the screen

it just doesnt load

[lapis nymph]

can anyone help with an error im getting

[fringe rover]

Yes, they automatically eat them when they are at 85% health (or when they’re hungry enough)

[lapis loom]

can someone help, i installed a mod, awesome spyglass, and then launched my save on Rag, and i get this error, i removed the mod, and it still does it.

my error is the same above actually

ugh i cant post the picture of the error, mine is exactly teh same as above

my 50hr rag save doesn't work, crystal isles and vag all dont work, if i start a new map fresh, brand new save, my game works fine, all my current saves crash my game

[lapis loom]

this is also my error as well, my saves dont work

[golden hatch]

hi, my server crashed and my character disappeared, does anyone know a way to get it? I already tried searching all the servers that I have entered and it does not appear

[lapis loom]

this freaking channel is dead for help

no mod/helper to be found

[viral willow]

did you wipe the mod's files from your mods folder? just unsubbing from the mod doesn't erase the entire download

[lapis loom]

yes, and i am not the only person getting this error @lapis nymph also has it, and there is a mention of it above

like word for word same error

[viral willow]

that's weird, i had the exact same error earlier today and it was fixed by just clean reinstalling my mods

i can try to go back and figure out what's going on though

[lapis loom]

i can send you dm of error

i verified game files, uninstalled and reinstalled, and ive wiped my mods and reinstalled

i can start a new map save, and it works fine, its all current saves that crash

i deleted my island save, to test cuz it was a bad build anyway, and it works on a new one, my rag, crystal isle, and vag saves dont work and error me and crash

[thick basin]

Thank you Perry

[naive dust]

Maybe you have to much going on in these saves for your PC to handle?

[lapis loom]

my machine isn't a potato

[near phoenix]

hey if i lose connection in a boss fight do i auto fail it?

[naive dust]

Can’t confirm but likely. Your survivor is just gonna fall asleep and under normal circumstances in a dedicated server can still be targeted by hostiles. That said you’re also in a separate instance inside of a boss arena, so disconnects could lead to an “auto fail” as you put it.

[modern drift]

You autofail the overseer in singleplayer if you log out in the Tek cave.

[wispy narwhal]

if you login fast enough you might not fail but most of the time you fail if you crash

[lethal grove]

Dang sorry to hear man

[plucky bone]

Why would you log out inside the cave?

[molten falcon]

can someone help me? I've been stuck in a crevice on small for 1 day and I can't kill myself. What can I do?

[trail pasture]

Punch so you lose stam, you'll die slowly but surely

[molten falcon]

I can only beat myself powerless. but the stamina does not regenerate. because I'm floating

can someone kill me on small extinction?

Pls

[trail pasture]

Hit ur self till you're out of stam, then go afk

[molten falcon]

I haven't had any stamina since yesterday xD

[trail pasture]

Don't log out

[molten falcon]

So shit Game ... i wait thx

[trail pasture]

Yuh

[lapis nymph]

Whenever I try to load into Abberation my game crashes. It doesn't crash on any other map, I've tried redownloading, tried getting rid of all mods, and multiple different launch methods.

[molten falcon]

@trail pasture you play on offizial small?

[plucky bone]

Could get someone to grapple hook you out

[stiff topaz]

if no one responds, it probably means no one knows.

[molten falcon]

Yes, that's why I'm asking here if anyone can kill me.

[stiff topaz]

Singleplayer? Non-dedi?

[lapis nymph]

both doesn’t work

[stiff topaz]

Can you send the first 5 lines of the crash message?

When it closes it copies as a text file you can paste and copy from

[lapis nymph]

i got offline, got frustrated, but i’ve got a photo of the entire crash message

[stiff topaz]

Alright, you can DM it

[lapis nymph]

sent

[molten falcon]

can someone please kill me on official small tribe extinction? can offer stuff or something.

[stiff topaz]

wow, my internet is shit today. might have to wait a bit for it to load lol

[stiff topaz]

Ah, shit. You were in radiation, weren't you?

[lapis nymph]

yeppp

[stiff topaz]

How long after load does it take for you to crash?

[lapis nymph]

it used to be up until the next auto save- 15 minutes, then i was able to reload and it rolled back to the place i started. but now it instantly crashes as soon as it loads in

[stiff topaz]

That's unfortunate. You have 2 options- Reload a backup, or load in over and over and hope that eventually the raditation doesn't apply instantly, and rip off your hazard as soon as you can

[lapis nymph]

what does the radiation have to do with anything

[stiff topaz]

yeah, i had this happen too, and my last backup was 3 days prior. i spent ages loading in, eventually the radiation bugged out and took a few seconds to apply, and I was able to get rid of the hazard

[stiff topaz]

you get that crash when your haz suit breaks

[lapis nymph]

it didn’t break

[stiff topaz]

it'll be very close to it if you load in.

it's not 100% replicatable, sometimes it crashes, sometimes it doesn't. But i've also demonstrated on call to someone triggering the crash intentionally by dunking myself in rad water and waiting a minute

[lapis nymph]

r u sure u got the same error?

[stiff topaz]

yes, i have gotten this crash dozens of times.

and never since i started taking off my hazard before it broke.

[lapis nymph]

i’ve probably tried loading in at least 20 times and it breaks immediately

[stiff topaz]

Yep, it's a fucking pain

[lapis nymph]

is this a newer bug or has it been around awhile, they ever gon fix it?

[stiff topaz]

I was one load away from giving up and sucking it up and losing 3 days of progress

[lapis nymph]

i never pay attention to my armor so this gon be annoying

[stiff topaz]

Well I was getting this back in.. 2019? longass time

[lapis nymph]

well there’s no hopes of them fixing it ig

[stiff topaz]

yeah :/

One of the worst bugs too, imo.

We can try the auto backups, and hopefully there's a good one

[lapis nymph]

this is gonna be rough because i started abberation like 3 days ago and now i’m nearing the end of it…

so if the backup is like yours i’m fucked

[lapis nymph]

not really a pc guy tbh, how would i do that

[stiff topaz]

Mine was manual- I was downloading dinos from the obelisk when I crashed so the autos weren't much help to me

[molten falcon]

can someone please kill me on official small tribe extinction? can offer stuff or something.

[stiff topaz]

#general message

[lapis nymph]

huh

[stiff topaz]

its a link to how to revert a backup

[lapis nymph]

well yeah but i’m slow

is there a video lmfao

[stiff topaz]

Not that I know of

Sec

You want that folder

Highlighted file is one that's loaded, rest are backups

Rename backups to Aberration_P.ark to load them

[molten falcon]

nobody there who can kill me quickly? takes 5 minutes

[gilded nebula]

So Idk if this is the right channel to talk about this but I dont have my alpha implant in scorched earth is that a bug or what.

[lapis nymph]

i can probably figure it out :)

[naive dust]

Starve to death?

[toxic seal]

did u kill a alpha overseer??

*and acend at alpha level

[tall heath]

if ur breading dino and there stats are the exact same can u still get mutations?

[naive dust]

Yes. Having them with exact matching stats is even preferable for mutation stacking.

[tall heath]

whenever they have the same stats i cant get any mutation at all they always come out with the same level and stats
