bobs-with-probs

[tall heath]

is that normal?

[quick spoke]

Yuta what stats?

[strong charm]

HP and stamina

[naive dust]

Yes. You have a 7ish% chance to get a mutation, if both tames you’re breeding have identical stats you’ll be able to identify when a baby has a mutation immediately because it will be either two, four, or six levels higher than the parents levels. Breeding a pair of Dino’s without matching levels will result in wildly skewed differences in the level of the parents compared to the offspring. Could be higher, could be lower, could be the same.

[tall heath]

alr

the have bread over 100 time and i havnt gotten any mutations with the same stats but when i tryed a random one i got mutations

is that just unlucky or?

[naive dust]

That’s very unlucky. Do the tames your breeding currently already have mutations?

@tall heath

[tall heath]

yeah im breading shadow mains that started with 46 in hp and 42 in melle and now the have 52 in melee and hp

[naive dust]

Do both parents have mutations on them? It sounds like you may have stacked ghost mutations and gone above 20 mutations on both patrilineal and matrilineal meaning they won’t produce mutations anymore.

[tall heath]

what are ghosst mutations?

[trail pasture]

No

[naive dust]

Mutations that are added to the counter but not to the stats. For example if you get a single melee mutation on both a male and female from your line and then breed them together the offspring is going to have only a single melee mutation in its stat values but the counter will show two.

[tall heath]

what do i de to start getting mutations again>

[void relic]

Kep breeding

[naive dust]

First check the latest offspring from the two. Look in its ancestry and see how many mutations it has in both patrilineal and matrilineal.

If it has over 20 in both you can’t breed those 2 together. You may have to rework your line. Do you have a male and female from the line that have identical stats and no mutations?

[tall heath]

let me check

matrilineal has 162/20 and patrilineal has 72/20

@naive dust

[naive dust]

That’s the problem. When properly done you should only have 13 mutations total.

[tall heath]

uhh

what do i do then?

its so complicated

[naive dust]

Once you go over 20 on either side that side isn’t eligible for mutations anymore cutting your odds in half. Go over in both and you can’t mutate anymore.

[naive dust]

Do you have any of the line with 0 mutations still?

If so the process is relatively simple to correct.

[tall heath]

i dont think so

so i just need to tame a new shadow main and start breading it with these ones?

[naive dust]

Kind of

[naive dust]

So without the original line it’s not gonna be as clean.

[tall heath]

wait

i found one in a cryo pod that dosnt haveany mutations

[naive dust]

Awesome. Is it from the same line?

[topaz fox]

otter>

[lunar arch]

how do i enable the tek helmet abilety

night vision

[uncut kite]

cycle through to it by pressing c a few times

[hollow spear]

c..? what? u press and hold R on default setting

[odd elm]

I summoned Rockwell, and both the gamma and beta appeared

What the hell do I do

[molten falcon]

where to make the base

i have all the dlcs

[modern drift]

Sorry for the late reply, I personally researched it because I was paranoid I may not have enough consecutive free time to solo it alpha.

[lapis nymph]

lmao wtf which one

[odd elm]

I summoned gamma

I went through the fight for shits and giggles, turns out there were two betas

[lapis nymph]

abb rockwell or gen2 rockwell

[odd elm]

Abb

[lapis nymph]

did u win

[odd elm]

I reloaded a save from yesterday

No

[lapis nymph]

didn’t u have an army of things

[odd elm]

Yeah

[topaz fox]

kumalala kummalala kumala savesta

[odd elm]

But three simultaneous rockwells? I had to destroy all of their tentacles to damage even one

[lapis nymph]

u sure u not trippin? i never heard of that

[odd elm]

I’m using super spyglasses

There were tentacles labeled beta

And some were purple while others were yellow

[scarlet rain]

How do you scroll in ancestry menu on ps4?

[topaz fox]

r3

[fringe rover]

It happens quite frequently actually
When you crash (or force quit) during a fight when the game saved during the fight, then reload and start the fight again, the old rockwell will still be there but a new one will also be there

This really only happens on rockwell tho, which is interesting
Probably because other bosses wipe the arena before teleporting in? Not 100% sure about that

[lapis nymph]

so if u crash during the rockwell fight ur basically gonna come back and get fucked

[fringe rover]

Well again that depends if the game saved during the fight

But yes, usually

[scarlet rain]

Hold or tap?

[lapis nymph]

i’m abt to do rockwell soon actually, why don’t i see a lot of these videos using reapers, aren’t they op?

[topaz fox]

scroll

[fringe rover]

You can use cheat destroymytarget to get rid of the old rockwell and its tentacles

[odd elm]

Tried that

[topaz fox]

megalosaurus are op too

[modern drift]

Annoying to mass produce.

[fringe rover]

Reapers vs reapers don’t go so well

[scarlet rain]

Ok but do I hold it or tap it to scroll?

[lapis nymph]

so is there a better tame to take into rockwell? (i don’t care abt breeding times)

[odd elm]

I went into the arena alone, tried the command, eventually did destroy all wild Dino’s, then killed myself

[topaz fox]

just scroll without tapping

[odd elm]

It gave me the ascension though so I reloaded an old save

[lapis nymph]

better than reaper?

[fringe rover]

Megalos or spinos are both very good in rockwell
Alternatively you can run it solo with cactus broth

[scarlet rain]

Ok Thx

[lapis nymph]

better than reaper?

[modern drift]

Careful of the megalo grab bug.

[topaz fox]

i guess so in abb

[fringe rover]

If they don’t spam the grab yes

[lapis nymph]

so should i risk megalo or just use reapers

[topaz fox]

risk megalo

[stiff topaz]

According to someone who uses megalos extensively, all you need to do to avoid the grab issues is keep them close- So in the case of megalos yes, because they'll be jammed against rockwell 90% of the time anyway

[lapis nymph]

shame that megalos are better, reapers are way cooler

[stiff topaz]

At least mutated glowy megalos can look awesome in the right colours

[topaz fox]

but megalos better

[lapis nymph]

ig i’ll just use reapers for the surface

[stiff topaz]

Oh, btw, how did getting your save back go?

[lapis nymph]

there was a backup 15 minutes previous to the crashing, it backed up to where i said it had rolled back to, ig imma have to watch out for that bug

i feel like it’s a thing that would commonly happen, idk why youtubers n other ppl don’t get it

[stiff topaz]

Seems to be more common in singlplayer

[lapis nymph]

i play on non-dedi with friends

[stiff topaz]

I've only heard one occurrence on a server

[stiff topaz]

non-dedi= singleplayer with friends and more bugs 😉

[lapis nymph]

non-dedi is kinda ass lmao, wish there was a way they didn’t have to come with me everywhere i go

cuz abberation tps are very weird

[stiff topaz]

Aside from hosting dedi, unfortunately no

Depending on map

[lapis nymph]

yeah it was fine on scorched and the island, it’s super bad on abb tho

[stiff topaz]

yeah lmao when i was playing non-dedi ab it became habit for the host to call out when they were going up the drop from the drake trench, so i could brace to be dropped into ele water

[lapis nymph]

is there even a way to host a dedi without paying or having another pc

[modern drift]

I based at the volcano in a non dedicated. I killed my friend so much.

[lapis nymph]

omg i remember the volcano warps lmao, right into the lava

[modern drift]

Other than making someone else do either, no. Guess that's wrong on Steam.

[modern drift]

He got so frustrated he rented a server.

[stiff topaz]

Yep

You can just download the server program from steam

[lapis nymph]

i’m guessing monthly payments?

[stiff topaz]

Need to set library to show tools

[stiff topaz]

Right into the Tek cave. Instakill, bye bye items

[lapis nymph]

i hate that tek cave door sm, it’s way too tiny to get a heard of rexes through, and tps friends

[modern drift]

Yep, nitrado.

[lapis nymph]

that’s free and works fine?

[stiff topaz]

yeah a mate had the misfortune of getting tped inside the closed tek cave door lol

[stiff topaz]

Yep, when I play mp, i play on one self-hosted like that

[lapis nymph]

how do u fw the settings

[stiff topaz]

INI files is what I use

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1dcWkSzGd4

That's the tutorial host of the server i play on used

It looks long but a lot of it is stuff you don't need to worry about

[lapis nymph]

holy fuck that video is an hour long 😭

[stiff topaz]

^

like the second half you don't need

[lapis nymph]

well yeah but watching the whole thing seems smarter so i can actually understand it

[stiff topaz]

I mean all the necessary setup is in the first part (unless you want mods and plugins). Im not sure why the INI section is so long but I can walk you through ini in like 2 minutes

[lapis nymph]

yeah i play with mods, used to play without mods back on ps and it’s so annoying

so ig imma have to watch more

pulling resources from different places is such a helpful thing, after using it i can’t go back to not using it lmao

[stiff topaz]

Afaik installing mods is simple as installing on client, copying files over, and adding mod IDs to GUS, though don't take my word on it (ie what i think I picked up from host i play on). You can skip clustering, transferring, plugins and config

[lapis nymph]

also i’ve heard that using dedi ups the difficulty of bosses by a lot, thag true?

[stiff topaz]

Nope

Well actually yes, the titans, but that can be reversed with some ini*

They take 4x more damage on sp, that's it

[lapis nymph]

some guy said that it makes the game like 63% more difficult or sum shit like that

[stiff topaz]

Nope

[stiff topaz]

Non-dedi potentially mitigates that (my speculation only because being the other SP specific change, the timer, exists on non-dedi)

[lapis nymph]

mann i’m not a pc guy idefk what a ini is

[stiff topaz]

A line of config

One sec, ill show you

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration
that's a useful resource for them

[lapis nymph]

is it gonna be difficult to get the same settings that i have on non-dedi

[stiff topaz]

Nope, you can literally copy-paste the ini files

An example of an INI config in an INI file

[lapis nymph]

that makes sense

suprised it’s not in sum encrypted shit i can’t read

[stiff topaz]

These are the two important ones

[stiff topaz]

Lol yeah nah they can just be edited with a text editor, and most of them are as simple as 'x line, at x value'

There are some more complex ones like spawns and drops, but you don't need to worry about those unless you want to go crazy with customisation

[lapis nymph]

nah i just want the same settings with the same mods

how long u think this is gon take to set up

[stiff topaz]

Just copy-paste ini files, and i believe just copy-paste mod files, should be fine (though do check video on mod files)

[stiff topaz]

Depends how smoothly the port forwarding goes tbh lol

And file transferring + size of mods

But port forwarding is the biggest roadblock imo, can be annoying to get working. sole reason i don't host myself, it's diabled on my router or something :/

[lapis nymph]

mods are small, just use them for utility not changing the game, and my wifi is fast so it should be quick

if they’re related

[stiff topaz]

Wifi isn't unless you need to re-download the mods, should just be disk transfer speed

I mean the server software itself will need downloading but aside from that

[lapis nymph]

that’ll probably take like 2 seconds

[stiff topaz]

yeah it's fairly small iirc

[lapis nymph]

i downloaded the entirety of ark, 370gigs in like 30 minutes. my wifi is kinda good so download speeds shouldn’t be an issue

[stiff topaz]

daaaaamn

that sorta download is like 12 hours for me lmao

[lapis nymph]

u think that same issue gonna happen to me?

[stiff topaz]

I haven't seen many people with the same issue, so probably not

[lapis nymph]

i’m hoping this is gonna work, warps are super annoying. every time i do smth like this smth always goes wrong tho lmao

did u even sleep?

[stiff topaz]

Yeah lol couple hours ago

[lapis nymph]

you’ve got just as bad a schedule as i do 😭

i got 3 hours of sleep from 8am-11am

[carmine heron]

Sooo if i set dino count to 50, load in then all the dinos spawn. I set it down to like 0.8 and all the dinos are there what should i do?

[stiff topaz]

Set it to 1 and do a wild dino wipe with the command destroywilddinos

[stiff topaz]

Lmao close, i actually got 7 hours buuuuut it was from like noon to 7pm

[carmine heron]

thanks!

just type that in chat?

[stiff topaz]

Command console- Tab on pc

[carmine heron]

ty

how long will it take before they start spawing in?

[red olive]

If you go to a new area it should be like a minute or so

5 minutes max

[lapis nymph]

couple minutes

probably abt done by now

@stiff topaz do u know if 8gb ram is gonna support a server

[stiff topaz]

..It'd be tight. Some maps definitely not

[red olive]

Uh, depends on the number of people, and if any other programs are being run. For 2-4 people 8gb is enough for any map

[lapis nymph]

u think abb-extinction-gen1-gen2 would all work?

cuz idrc abt the custom arks

[lapis nymph]

we got 3 people

[red olive]

I have hosted a gen2 on 6gb for 2 people

[lapis nymph]

yeah what happens when you try to run other games like valorant 💀

[red olive]

Never played valorant lll

[lapis nymph]

just an example, what happens when you try to play another fairly big game

[trail pasture]

All at the same time?

[lapis nymph]

nah, just in general 1 at a time

[trail pasture]

Running val and ark at the same time wont work

[red olive]

If you are trying to play and host on the same machine, you'll have issues

[trail pasture]

Even if you aren't hosting a server

[stiff topaz]

Played on it at the same time? fucking singlplayer takes 10gb for me lol

[red olive]

It was a different machine

[stiff topaz]

ah. well they're looking to self host so

no way in hell g2 is working on 8gb

[lapis nymph]

i’m tryna self host on the same machine…

[red olive]

Yeah, in that case, hosting and playing on the same machine would need like 20gb

[trail pasture]

Playing ark and a different game even without hosting won't come even close with 8gb ram

[lapis nymph]

i don’t think it would need that much, 16gb would probably be enough

[stiff topaz]

16 is the minimum to do most maps comfortably imo

[trail pasture]

Non dedicated server?

[stiff topaz]

dedi

[trail pasture]

You could try it

[stiff topaz]

You might be able to get away with 8 for some maps but honestly, you might be better off seeing if anyone youre playing with has more ram that can host

[lapis nymph]

the people i play with have even worse pcs than i do… they can hardly run ark at 40 frames lmaoo

[stiff topaz]

i mean i have 16g and i struggle to hit 20

fps != ram

[lapis nymph]

i’ve got 8gb ram and i get like 70fps

[red olive]

Yeah, fps is the gpu/cpu combo

You could have 100gb ram and only get 20fps if your gpu isn't good

[lapis nymph]

i’ve got rtx 2080 with 8gb ram, and get 70fps normally

[red olive]

Yeah, that gpu is a bit too good for the amount of ram lol.

[lapis nymph]

i’ll probably upgrade to 16gb soon enough

[red olive]

If you have the room you could go to 24

[lapis nymph]

how expensive even is it to buy more ram

haven’t even taken a look yet lmao

[red olive]

It's pretty expensive

[lapis nymph]

i’m looking at stuff at best buy and it says 16gb is only like 80$, that’s pretty cheap

[red olive]

Wait, really?

That sounds waaay too cheap

[pale mantle]

I keep doing the gen2 boss and I'm not getting the notes that are right before the fight? Is there any way to fix this or am I just stuck not getting my 10 max levels?

[lapis nymph]

corsair rgb pro, 16gb ram is 80$

[red olive]

Huh

[lapis nymph]

that’s what it is

[red olive]

A lot of people have had this issue, not sure the fix

[pale mantle]

f

[red olive]

I guess just keep trying

[red olive]

Do you have the extra ram slots?

[lapis nymph]

no clue lmao, i’d have to take a look

if i didn’t what would i have to do

[red olive]

If it's only $80 I might upgrade lol

[red olive]

You would need a new motherboard probably

[lapis nymph]

that seems much more expensive

[red olive]

Yeah, it is

Usually you would need a new cpu also

Sometimes a new gpu, unless you installed it

[lapis nymph]

someone else built the pc for me

my gpu is good tho

[red olive]

Yeah, you can reuse the gpu, and possibly the cpu then if you are careful

[lapis nymph]

imma just hope i have extra ram slots lmao

cuz if i don’t it’d be much more pricey and complicated

[red olive]

You can sometimes get ram with larger capacity, but that's a lot more expensive

[lapis nymph]

yeah aren’t most sticks just 8gb

[red olive]

Most are but you can get up to 64 for a stick

[lapis nymph]

i found 2 16gb ram sticks for 110$ that’s pretty good

[granite rock]

i have full fur and it still says im freezing, can anyone help?

[brazen robin]

get an otter

[granite rock]

they need a dead fish right

[brazen robin]

yes, not fish meat but dead fish

[granite rock]

alr thx

where can i find otters on ragnarok

[granite rock]

welp

gotta fly to the other side of the map on an pte

where can i find argys thats not in the snow?

[brazen robin]

you can check the wiki, all the spawns are there

[granite rock]

alr thanks

[topaz fox]

there are a lot on northwest

[haughty scarab]

What's a good shotgun dmg for solo rockwell beta

[stone dome]

Anyone have any tips for finding thylas on val? Ive been looking but i cant find any

[haughty scarab]

Start at redwoods

[stone dome]

Ive been flying around redwoods on my wyvern but I cant seem to find any

[haughty scarab]

There not always on the trees, they can be in the ground too

[stone dome]

Alright

[haughty scarab]

Also the desert should have some

[stone dome]

Im on val

[haughty scarab]

Yea just check redwoods

[stone dome]

Alright

Hopefully i find one

[haughty scarab]

If u have an owl, use it to find thyla if u still can't find any

What's a good shotgun dmg for solo rockwell beta

[stone dome]

No clue

Holy crap

I found one but it scared me shitless

I had to kill it and almost died

[haughty scarab]

Lmfao

[brittle inlet]

Is there a way to disable cryo sickness on pvp? (Windows 10)

[vale raptor]

What do u use reaper glands for?

[brittle inlet]

cant u just look that up?

[vale raptor]

Well ur helpful lol

[brittle inlet]

there is an ark wiki for a reason

[brazen robin]

when you get a reaper king baby, they are hostile. that makes them not hostile (even when claimed I believe or you need it to claim. can't remember)

[vale raptor]

Oh ok thanks

[brazen robin]

this is #bobs-with-probs its for helping lol

[vale raptor]

😁

[brazen robin]

no

[stone dome]

My thyla finding attempt went terribly i died like 3 times and almost lost a wyvern

Does anyone have any tips that could give me a better chance

Bc they see me before i see them always

[little reef]

I'm trying to set up my breeding Rex pair for bosses and both have the same stats but one of them has a double health mutation (got twins both with the mutation lucky asf) Will this mess up my other mutations or can I keep these insanely lucky dinos?

[fringe rover]

Yeah they’re hostile even when claimed until I think juvenile stage
But most just cryopod and release which bugs the ai and makes it passive

[fringe rover]

Do they have the stats you want for your perfect pair? And if you already have perfect pair, are they on the health line?

[still basin]

I haven’t played for ages, what’s the average stat spread for pve scorched earth now? Kinda forgot the old average

[little reef]

The pair I used to get these 2 don't have the same stats so they're not a perfect pair but I don't want to turn down a 2x health mutation because what are the odds I get another

The stats are very very similar tho

Only difference is one has lower health

The twins have the best stats from both parents plus the mutation

Well best in the categories I'm looking for

[fringe rover]

If its a double mut on the good stat then keep it yes
If they have a bad other stat then breed it with a perfect opposite gender until you get a male with the muts and the perfect stats

[little reef]

Will this affect mutations past 20?

If I keep them to use in my breeding pairs at all

Right now I have 2 perfect stats mutated males and 1 perfect stat unmutated female

Should I breed for a perfect stat 2x health mutation female and keep going from there?

[soft peak]

someone that knows what there doing i need help my ark is getting stuck on loading screen after pressing start Microsoft edition pc dm me if u can help thank u

ive tried most stuff just no cigar

[carmine heron]

@brazen robin is there a way to boost max level?

[brazen robin]

yes, https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Server_configuration#:~:text=in patch 187.0-,LevelExperienceRampOverrides,-%3D( ExperiencePointsForLevel[

or do you mean wild max level? there is a pin in here for that :P

[cyan saffron]

At some point, I accidentally imprinted on 2 F wyverns, one time, without realizing. I just now noticed it. Do I need to find 2 different breeders or are they okay to keep using?

[brazen robin]

it doesn't matter, as long as you know the original stats (or are using the egg incubator to know mutations)

[pine otter]

Anything else a doedicurus is good for except for stone

[cyan saffron]

They’re clean, and I don’t remember the original stats but ive been going by the number of levels that the incubator shows. Is that okay?

[brazen robin]

yeah, the incubator is fine. imprint just changes what stats show not what stats pass down

with the incubator you could use a leveled and imprinted dino just fine.

[cyan saffron]

Oh okay, phew, I was worried lol Thank you for your help!

[carmine heron]

Is that for server or single player?

[brazen robin]

yes

its the same on PC, goes in game.ini

only console SP has different settings as they can't change ini. most server settings work on SP and vice versa.

[carmine heron]

so i out in
LevelExperienceRampOverrides=( (number of max level) ??

[brazen robin]

no its long you put
LevelExperienceRampOverrides=(
ExperiencePointsForLevel[0]=1,
ExperiencePointsForLevel[1]=5,
...
ExperiencePointsForLevel[64]=1000)
with as many levels as you want. levels are the first number XP is the second.

just that would be 65 lines

[brazen robin]

I believe it counts the levels gotten from ascensions so I think it takes 75 levels off for them

[carmine heron]

ah

if your deafult max level and you add that will you still be able to level or would you need a mind wipe or new survivor?

[pine otter]

Do you need recipes to know how to make stews, soups, brews etc. in the cooking pot

Or do they just tell you what you need

[bright mulch]

All you need to do is place the requirements in the cooking pot or industrial cooker and you are good to go

[red olive]

Yeah you need to know it

[pine otter]

Thanks

[red olive]

But you can just google it for the recipe

[bright mulch]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Recipes

[pine otter]

Yeah I was thinking like do you need the recipe to be able to craft it

[red olive]

If it is a custom food then yeah, otherwise no

[pine otter]

Ok thanks

[bright mulch]

Here is info for custom consumables as well just in case 🙂 https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Custom_Consumable

[pine otter]

K

[carmine heron]

@brazen robin ?

[brazen robin]

you would switch to the level equivalent to the amount of XP you have I believe. not sure how it chooses your stats

[carmine heron]

like how much it goes up for health?

how do i make it so a long text can be sent but not reach cap?

[brazen robin]

I mean, if you had 40 levels but in the new levels you only had 20. how does it choose which 20 levels went in :P

[fringe rover]

I assume it puts the stats at default and then lets you input the 20 levels again

[brazen robin]

could, I don't remember. :P in that case would it reset engrams aswell?

[fringe rover]

Hmm probably

[red olive]

I am pretty sure learned engrams aren't linked to the xp amount, so it might bug out, but it shouldn't reset engrams

[brazen robin]

maybe you go negative engram points

thats possible isn't it

[red olive]

Yeah that's possible

[brazen robin]

I was wrong. the level doesn't change but you need to progress XP wise to the new amount of XP before getting another level.

[little reef]

Does anyone know where I could find a spreadsheet or something of what can and can't be net gunned?

Can't find it anywhere on dododex

[red olive]

The wiki probably has it

[little reef]

Dam why didn't I think of that

[plain stag]

https://ark.wiki.gg is the new link, if you didn't know yet.

[feral sedge]

what could cause all of my tames, regardless of distance from me, to suddenly be set to NEUTRAL?

[brazen robin]

whistle neutral in one of the radial menus

or on k&m its a button

[feral sedge]

not at the distances involved and I don't use the whistle menu when I'm here specifically to prevent this

everything was on passive, I released an oviraptor, everything was suddenly on neutral

[brazen robin]

only if they are the same with the share settings work I think

whistle is the only thing 🤷

could just be a bug. ark is ark afterall

[naive dust]

Likely a misclick of a group whistle.

[spiral vale]

So, I'm playing a private dedicated server, we're on the island right now and want to play scorched earth. Do I need a copy of the dlc for the dedicated server and a copy for myself in order to play it?

[brazen robin]

if you host on your home playstation then no. your home playstation should be able to be switched in the settings (if its like xbox). it switches which playstation allows anybody on it to play your games

the only downside to not playing on your home playstation (if like xbox :P) is you won't be able to play offline

[gentle hemlock]

Can anyone help by any chance?

[molten falcon]

Question: I know we can only get blueprints for Mek modules on Gen 2, but what do those cap at? I’m curious because I want to try and build a really nice Mek with some really good weapons.

Also, are there any good resources for where to go for finding the best quality blueprints for things? Because there are many blueprints I would like, but can’t find.

[naive dust]

The wiki is a good source.

[viral willow]

is this the bug where you try to load a save file and then it just crashes the game? if not, disregard this and take me for a fucking idiot

another guy that had this problem clean reinstalled all of their mods, then loaded a backup save, which lost some progress but otherwise allowed them to keep the file. their save broke after adding a new mod, not sure what happened to you.

[gentle hemlock]

My friend loads into the game and plays just fine, it's a new character so I don't think they have the same problem, they load in and play for a bit then the game full crashes, sometimes it doesn't even give a crash report it just shuts down and won't let them back in saying that a player using that account is already in the game

[viral willow]

hmm that's weird, i haven't seen anything like that before. are you guys on a non-dedicated w/ you hosting or on a dedicated server?

also, are you modded or vanilla?

[molten falcon]

Yea, I’ve been checking there. Can’t find the cap on the Mek module bps there, can’t find the caps on a lot of other bps there, and what info there is on where you can find blueprints is actually just lists of drop tables for different drops and missions, which each have their own pages, so if I wanted to look at what drops give the BP I want, I have to comb through every single drop table one at a time, with many of them giving no indication what the drop quality on them is. So I would basically still have to just farm each until I can feel out which one gives the better quality.

[feral sedge]

do air conditioners have range vertically?

I can't see that mentioned on the wiki page

[deft zodiac]

Yes, around the same range as horizontally

[feral sedge]

oh sweet, I can make space in my egg room so this terror bird isn't eternally stuck on an AC corner, thanks

[naive dust]

Are you official or unofficial?

[torpid valve]

Whats crafting skill

[deft zodiac]

https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Crafting_Skill

[quick spoke]

The tuso or mosa?

[deft zodiac]

Tuso

[quick spoke]

And they are found where ? On the island?

[bleak shadow]

Any map with ocean@quick spoke

[deft zodiac]

Yea

[quick spoke]

But at the bottom?

[deft zodiac]

Everywhere on the sea, very rare

Yea bottom

[quick spoke]

Ok.

[bleak shadow]

Mosa is stronger but hasn't immune to cnidarias

[red olive]

Mosa isn't even close to being as strong as a tuso lol

Mosa beats plesiosuar, but is worse than literally every other deep sea dino

[quick spoke]

Can I use baslio to tame tuso?

With two other people.

[naive dust]

No. Tuso can’t grab basilo.

[naive dust]

Turtle is the easiest

[quick spoke]

Dunk?

[naive dust]

Yeah. Just pump its health.

[quick spoke]

Ok.

[flint epoch]

Hey, I have 12gb ram gtx 1650 and a Ryzen 5 (4000 series)
What graphics should I run ark on ( for recording at the same time as playing)

[void relic]

I don't think you will be able to run ark will recording

[flint epoch]

I do it now

I have a yt channel I just don’t know what the best graphics to put on is

[uncut kite]

depends on what you use to record
if you use graphics card you can probably try mostly high with low shadows and see how it goes

[flint epoch]

Alright thanks

[void relic]

I love your videos

[flint epoch]

Oh thanks!

[void relic]

Welcome

[bleak shadow]

Its your opinion 😉 try Tuso in Island water cave😂 when your Tuso stuck in basillion sharks

Mosa is powerful especially when high mutated, fast and have high weight

[modern drift]

Basilos are nice enough too, especially as they are easy tames.

[bleak shadow]

They op in caves, but slow asf if you want go through ocean

[modern drift]

I like my fat electric proof tank, but they are slow I admit.

[grand night]

I gave a pteradon 160 raw meat and it isnt taming

Does anyone know why? Btw its a lvl 80

[modern drift]

How long have you waited?

[red olive]

I have done that. Just go slow and don't rush. That getting stuck is because of turning radius lol

[granite rock]

Should i get an Dire bear or carno to defend in my walls? There can spawn raptor, carno, beavers and the insects

And maybe doedicurus

[abstract wharf]

so theres a level 2 alpha raptor that keeps tearing up my spikes how is one supposed to kill it?

i have currently built a house boat until i can kill it

[frosty widget]

Build a trap 🪤 then get a longneck or a crossbow and start shooting you can look up good raptor traps on YouTube

[abstract wharf]

i could do that but do they work if the raptor is 10x faster than me?

[frosty widget]

Lol carefully lure him into the trap I would do it naked for sure

You can try building a trapdoor and killing him from the top but at a certain point he will run then be back to torture you

[abstract wharf]

how long until they respawn

like do i have to worry about dealing with him a ton

[grand night]

Oh I got it a while back nvm. I just wasnt patient enough

Also will I be able to knock out an argie with a couple of tran arrows from a crossbow? Btw idk what level it is, its too far to check, will I get attacked if I go closer?

[frosty widget]

They randomly spawn but where you see one you will probably eventually see another but hopefully by then you will have some Dino’s that can handle it

[abstract wharf]

i had dinos but a theri murdered them all

so i've been having good luck

[modern drift]

He will attack you. You'll need more than a couple though. Try dododex if you don't already.

[hollow bear]

hey im looking for help trying to get max 150 dinos on my single player world for the map aberration and i cant get dinos over the level 60 i have difficulty set 2 1.0 and max difficulty checked looked all over forms any help would be appreciated and if this is the wrong channel to post this ill glady move it to the right one

[stiff topaz]

Check pins

[grand night]

Oh ok I will thx

[torn belfry]

I have about 10 mate boosted female rexes, and an oviraptor for the egg buff, but they still don't really make eggs. What are some things I can do to fix this?

[gusty garnet]

What’s cords for the island pearl cave the alpha spot cause I don’t remember

[red olive]

There are like 15 Island pearl caves, and none of them are alpha spots

[trail pasture]

You mean center Pearl?

[gusty garnet]

No island

[gusty garnet]

Tf mean

[trail pasture]

There ain't an island Pearl that's an alpha spot

[red olive]

The alpha pearl cave is on the center

[gusty garnet]

Bro tf u mean island pearl op

I jus can’t remember which one

[gusty garnet]

Already have that on lock I want to find island pearl now

[red olive]

Look up explorer notes on the island, the ocean ones are usually in a pearl cave

[stone dome]

Ive spent three days looking for a thyla and the closest ive come to getting one drowned

Ive even taken a parasaur into the redwoods with no luck

I have no idea what to do but i need a thyla

[red olive]

What map?

[stone dome]

Val

[red olive]

Aahh, that's got a lot of redwoods to cover

I am guessing you don't have tek

Specifically the helmet

[stone dome]

If i did i wouldnt have much of a problem lol

They either pounce me and i have to kill them or i dont see them at all

[red olive]

Well, o guess just try and fly higher on a pt or somee

[pine otter]

F for the 150 Rex after I hit it with too many tranq arrows causing it to die 😔

[stone dome]

Im using a wyvern is that a bad idea?

[red olive]

They are less maneuverable

But it's not a bad thing

Just fly as high as the foliage

[worldly garnet]

Thylas are nettable too

[radiant falcon]

what dinos are good for island ice cave i dont have dlc

[feral sedge]

once again transferring my character has made that character fucking vanish, I played close to four hours on CI yesterday perfectly fine, go to load it up just now and

wow, it's nothing!

[gentle hemlock]

Sorry. It’s fine if you ping me. I answer better like that. Sorry for being late. It’s a dedicated server. It has 36 mods.

Just in case I guess. Can anyone help me with this by any chance?

[red olive]

Theri, allo, thyla, + rocket launcher

[lapis nymph]

wdym lol

i took a yut in there and it was a breeze

[red olive]

That works too

[lapis nymph]

u think 16gb ram can support a self hosted server while playing on it on the same machine?

[red olive]

Depends

On how many people play on the server, on your cpu etc.

It'll probably do it for a couple people

[lapis nymph]

yea i got 2 people

but like could it support lost island/gen2

those maps are massive

[red olive]

Possibly lost island, probably not gen2

[lapis nymph]

i thought lost island was bigger than gen2 tbh

[red olive]

No, either way, with the missions and space gen2 is more taxing

[polar sandal]

My micro raptor won't attack things while on my shoulder. I think I'm micro raptoring wrong

[red olive]

Is it on aggressive?

[mighty kite]

^^^

[bright mulch]

Backing onto Ragqkaaq comment, Gen 2 at least on majority of server providers require your server to have additional ram to be able to just run the map due to the fact it has so much in it.

Lost Island on the other hand may have a larger map but it does not have as much going on as Gen 2 therefore you can get away with a lot less ram to run it according to server providers

Using Nitrado for example, I needed a 20GB of ram just to run Gen 2 where as Lost Island only needed 16GB of Ram

[lunar forge]

are you supposed to level up dinos before breeding them or is the baby level based off of the parent's wild level?

[tame bear]

based on base level of the stats, so with stats it tamed with

babies won't get the level up verison of tha stats

[lunar forge]

what about levels? do the levels change depending on parent level or

[red olive]

Babies aren't effected by the player added levels, only the wild tame levels

[lunar forge]

ah ok thanks

[trail pasture]

💀

[dense storm]

I can't collect all gen1 glitches. Some of them are not unlocked and are invisible in the location. Has anyone experienced this? How to fix?

[bleak dawn]

can people who are NOT in my my tribe climb up my ladders in a pve server?

[celest surge]

When does Arkpocalypse wipe?

[celest surge]

yes

[bleak dawn]

ok ty

[quick spoke]

Do I put stamina on dunk?

[naive dust]

What are you using it for?

[devout wyvern]

help 🙁 I've been playing on official server NA-PVE-Official-LostIsland1037 for the last week, but all of a sudden it doesn't show up in the server list for me, and if i try to join it manually it says "server not found", does anyone know how to fix?

[lapis nymph]

bruh why does ark non-dedi have such shit warps

[naive dust]

Warps?

[lapis nymph]

such shitty teleports for the co-op

i fail to see the point of it

[naive dust]

System performance and limitations are the point. It is terrible though. It’s the original reason I began running my own dedi cluster.

[lapis nymph]

just optimize the game better and system performance would be of no issue

[naive dust]

Sure it would. You’re not gonna have a game like Ark that doesn’t pull heavy from a pc. No matter how well optimized.

[lapis nymph]

no man’s sky runs flawlessly

subnautica runs flawlessly

genshin runs flawlessly

all pretty big open world games

[quick spoke]

For like it's purpose?

[naive dust]

No mans sky and subnautica, while both open world games aren’t ran on the same engine with possible hundreds to thousands of entities being active simultaneously.

[naive dust]

Yes.

[lapis nymph]

then unload them, optimize it better

[naive dust]

If “optimize it better” were the case, games wouldn’t be limited by PC requirements. That’s just not how it works. You can’t put jet fuel in a ford festiva and expect it to run properly.

[lapis nymph]

ok i have a good pc, make it a setting with a warning MAY CAUSE BAD PERFORMANCE

or at least have a mod

[naive dust]

Using your PC to run a dedi is an option.

[lapis nymph]

that’s complicated

and does that even carry over save data

[naive dust]

So optimize it. Lol

[echo raptor]

does anyone know good m ods that are compat ible with Primal Fear and the order they go in

[lapis nymph]

it’s a complicated setup process, can’t be bothered

[trail pasture]

You can disable it

In the settings menu....

[lapis nymph]

you can’t.

[trail pasture]

You literally can

Youre steam right?

[lapis nymph]

yea

[trail pasture]

Are you hosting the server?

[lapis nymph]

yea

[trail pasture]

Ok go to 'host/local'

[lapis nymph]

if ur talking abt the slider it’s already at like 10000000

[trail pasture]

Put it on 99

100000000 won't work

[lapis nymph]

yes that’s not the issue

[lapis nymph]

it does

[trail pasture]

Put it on 99 and see if it still teleports

[lapis nymph]

you can’t go into different zones without the other person, like caves n shit, normally not an issue. but on aberration it just warps you around everywhere for no reason and it costed me a 250 drake

[trail pasture]

Yea caves don't work

Cuz it's a different renderzone

[lapis nymph]

yes correct, but aberration just warps for 0 reason right into the rad water

[naive dust]

This is only really effective on the island. Most if not all other maps have areas and biomes that are separate that will still pull you.

[trail pasture]

Only about and gen1 no?

[naive dust]

Ab, extinction, and both genesis maps. Can’t say for sure about SE or LI.

[swift sluice]

How do I tame a roll rat I've thrown honey into the hole but it doesn't eat it

[pliant marten]

is there any way to know or influence in which direction you'll fall when dismounting a dino? It feels pretty random..

[swift sluice]

If you input the direction you want to jump off

Hold left you jump left right you go right

[pliant marten]

Didn't really work, though does nearby constructions and dinos also influence it? I usually want to dismount between my mount and a storage box, but it rarely works.. õo

[swift sluice]

That can influence it yes

It sends you to the side with most space

[lofty beacon]

yo small question i just found a alpha trike how tf do i tame it

wait no it was just 2 trikes fighting a alpha raptor

... how do i tame the raptor

scratch that how do i kill it

[naive dust]

Trap and shoot. Or tame something or a lot of something’s capable of killing it.

[lofty beacon]

thx

[lapis nymph]

does extinction do it for no reason like ab? or is it just separated between snow, forest, desert , wasteland

[naive dust]

It’ll do it randomly.

[lapis nymph]

yeah fuck that

do saves transfer from non-dedi to a dedi

[hearty smelt]

B

A

Lls

[lapis nymph]

@naive dust

[latent marten]

@lapis nymph lol if you don’t know just don’t comment

[lapis nymph]

what

[latent marten]

You said he should Google . So I am saying that you shouldn’t have answered if you of don’t know . It’s

[lapis nymph]

i was pinging him cuz i thought he would know 😭

and i was the one that asked the question

i was tryna get someone’s attention to help

[latent marten]

Pinging Google , hmmm ok

[lapis nymph]

that’s the guys username lmao

[latent marten]

Ohh I see my bad

[quick spoke]

How many artifacts of each do I need to fight all bosses on the island ?

Including overseer

[molten falcon]

how do i use mods on steam?

[trail pasture]

You can see it in the terminal

[naive dust]

Go to the workshop find Ark and subscribe to the mods you want. Then when you go to start your game everything you’re subscribed to will be in a list on the right hand side of the screen.

[grand night]

Get a dino to do it for u

[molten falcon]

ok ty

[feral sedge]

why have four mantas in a row, not on wander, and passive stance, beached themselves and died?

is their AI just completely broken?

[granite rock]

what is a good dino to get a wyvern egg? i rly want one but i dont know how, ik an griffin is best but can a pte do it aswell?

[red olive]

Uh, griffin isn't even the best lol

[granite rock]

it isnt?

[red olive]

Yeah a pt can, you might die though

[granite rock]

its sped and has weight

[red olive]

Not even close

[granite rock]

lol

[red olive]

Maewing is a loooot better than a griffin lol

[granite rock]

ye

but no maewings on ragnarok

and no tek tier yet

[ionic sluice]

That's a thing that can occur? Dang, there goes my meme plan of cryoing a ton of mantas to fight alphas :(

[feral sedge]

they take massive damage on land

they're still good for ocean work, but damn, why is this happening on passive/no follow/no wander

[odd temple]

Could be getting knocked back?

[feral sedge]

I can't imagine what from but I guess I can go sink 10k metal into building a non-beach pen for mantas

[quick spoke]

Can I bring flyers into caves?

[feral sedge]

you can but good luck, caves tend to be smaller than they have room to fly in

[grand night]

What is the cheapest way to hatch an egg (Dilo egg)? Also do i need to turn on “enable wander” to make my dinos mate?

[swift sluice]

Use enable mating and to hatch the egg use standing torches to heat them

If it says too warm try at night

Or lessen torches

[grand night]

Oh ok thx

[lapis nymph]

if i have saved data on a non-dedi can i self host a dedi with the same saved data

[low pumice]

When I load my gen 2 I black screen And when I dc it says outgoing reliable buffer overflow

[lapis nymph]

@stiff topaz idk ur smart do u know

[stiff topaz]

Yes you can

[lapis nymph]

and if i stop hosting the dedi do i lose whatever was on the dedi?

or will it be a save on host/local

[stiff topaz]

No, just move the save files over

[lapis nymph]

makes sense, thanks man, and with that abb crash i would’ve never figured that out without u lmao

[stiff topaz]

No problem

[grand night]

How do I give my baby dinos cool colours and all?

Without commands

[topaz fox]

I think you can´t

[naive dust]

Mutations, paint, and holiday candy

[grand night]

Ok thx

Wait how do I mutate?

[topaz fox]

huh how do mutations change colours and you cant color a dino with paint

[topaz fox]

breeding and mutagen

[naive dust]

Yes you can. And mutations give a random color to a random area.

[topaz fox]

oh okay

[topaz fox]

and how do you use paint

[grand night]

K thx

[tall heath]

how can u get higher armor on tek armor ?

is it possible?

[red olive]

Gen missions or extinction drops

[bitter oasis]

^

Hunting by moonlight is a good mission 4 tek chests I’m pretty sure

[grand ginkgo]

you are so wrong it makes me mad

oh that was sent 3 hours ago

[red olive]

I mean, it takes skill to use the maewing, but I am not wrong

[grand ginkgo]

look man dont talk to griffins like that

i love griffins with my whole LIFE

[red olive]

You might like them, but maewing are just objectivly and statistically better

[grand ginkgo]

tsk tsk tsk

these things you say are wrong

a maewings base damage at level 150 is 205 and its base health is at 1949

[red olive]

Maewing don't fight the wyverns

If you read what I was responding to

[grand ginkgo]

oh

[red olive]

Maewing are faster

[grand ginkgo]

yeah my bad i thought you meant in general

lol sorry

[red olive]

Lol

[ember wren]

Not kinda sure is this suppose to go here but will there be sales for DLC's when anniversary will arrive?

[lapis nymph]

what’s the minimum ram size you need to run a cluster

[polar sandal]

On a therazeno what is delicate harvesting and power harvesting levels about

[paper cave]

How do you get harpoon gun bps?

[modern drift]

Power harvests more wood, delicate more fiber. They both improve harvesting to certain resources.

[modern drift]

That was a bug that was removed.

[torn belfry]

Does anyone know why when I park my rexes at a terminal, they start dropping tons of eggs, but back at base they rarely drop eggs?

[modern drift]

What type of terminal? I don't see how any type could do this but the information may be helpful.

[torn belfry]

It was the green obelisk on lost island.

We were prepping for a boss fight and in that 30 minutes I got like 15 eggs. But back at base I get maybe 1 hour an egg from the same set of rexes.

1 egg an hour*

[modern drift]

It could be a coincidence.

Is this regular?

Like was this only for that half hour?

[torn belfry]

That half hour was the most eggs I've ever seen. Is there something at my base that could be preventing eggs?

I even have an oviraptor to try and help with the eggs.

[modern drift]

This is speculative, but perhaps lag at the base may influence it somehow?

[torn belfry]

Hmm, I certainly have some base lag.

[modern drift]

You could test this theory be putting your rexes in another laggy and lag-free zone of you wanted.
Might be pointless.

[torn belfry]

I think I might just deal with it for now. We'll be moving to Fjordur when it comes out, and for now we should have enough kibble to last us.

[modern drift]

Breeding could be an option, though your mating interval will affect how viable that is.

[torn belfry]

Can you use fertilized eggs in kibble?

[modern drift]

Yes.

[torn belfry]

That might help then. I'll have to try and see if they can still make unfertilized eggs while on breeding interval cooldown.

[modern drift]

I think they can. I don't see why they shouldn't.

[torn belfry]

I appreciate the help 🙂

[modern drift]

No problems, good luck.

[lunar arch]

So if I go to steam and look at gen season pass it said that the map is 40gb but is that for both or only 1 of them because I only have 70gb left because I can’t uninstall valmid

[cunning gyro]

Hey y’all, idk where to ask this considering it’s not really categorised, but does anyone know whether the Dododex will migrate the wiki links to the new wiki?

I.e. the links that used to point to the fandom wiki from dododex

Like spawn/resource maps etc.

[stiff forge]

Hey I wanna play pvp but every server I join bumps me to max level. What should I do? Idk I'm brand new is that just how I should play?

[minor scaffold]

Can someone help me or give me tips on taming a noglin

[wide gust]

Hi everyone I never played ark on pc but I will be so just wondering how do I add mods and how can I have dinos with levels up to 900?

[last goblet]

So I haven't played ark since the valentines event, I tried hopping on today and it wouldn't show any servers, thought it was weird so i Restarted my game, no fix, then PC, no fix, then uninstalled the game to hopefully re-install to have it be fixed....Now its saying that "You can't install 'Ark: Survival Evolved' on this PC"
anyone know whats up?

Update: I was able to install it from the microsoft store website
will make a further update if it actually allows me to view servers

[stiff topaz]

Mods are through steam workshop. Don’t set your levels to 900 because your stats will rollover. Check pins and set override to 20 at most for 600 (highest safe wild level)

[steady quiver]

anyone know what invaild authentication token is=?

[rain mist]

if a dlc goes for sale does the ultimate survivor edition go even cheaper?

[jade smelt]

I don't think so, but maybe. I play most of my games on steam, but I play ARK on Win10, so my reply may not be helpful.

[jade smelt]

You have to have it on steam for mods I believe and you get them through the steam workshop I think. Haven't played on steam though, so my reply may not be helpful.

[smoky parcel]

I’m trying to upload my survivor on single player extinction but it won’t let me?

[red olive]

Wait for a sale I guess, I got the ultimate survivor for 18 a couple months ago

[bright mulch]

DLC'S at least on steam are no longer individually on sale rather they are bundled so you have to wait for the bundle to go on sale

[deep cedar]

Can u trap a carno with 4 bill boards

[crystal oasis]

Is blocking all Deep Sea Entrances in Gen 2 ( and i mean every single one) against ToS? and if it is how do i report it?

[strange solar]

if its PvE you can report players under game support

[crystal oasis]

and if its PvP?

[strange solar]

PvP you all kill each other so....

[crystal oasis]

so new player in Gen 2 and i can desotroy 1k turrets surrounded by 100 squids

underwater

[strange solar]

Pvp is brutal for new players

why you need to go deep sea?

I've been there a few times but didn't see much.

[crystal hare]

What map, there are a good few reasons tho, if u have anglerfish there r silica pearls at the bottom or black pearls, tusos are down there too depending on the map

[red olive]

Go to a different map lol

[red olive]

Yes, you can even trap a giga that eay

[deep cedar]

Tysm!

[crystal hare]

Giga traps r easy, it’s the matter of finding one and not dying 20 times to it lol, or if you deload the area it might get out

[red olive]

I would say not dying is pretty easy lol

[crystal hare]

I was being chased by a giga that was somehow 7x faster than I was before so don’t underestimate them 😂

And I was on a galli

[red olive]

Lol

[crystal hare]

The galli part makes it worse, way worse

For most of the creatures in ark I do the basic arg trap but depending on the size of the creature I wanna tame I change the size of the traps

[ionic bobcat]

Can anyone help me with some server configuration?

[crystal hare]

What kind of server config?

[gusty garnet]

Dose ice cave have 6x damage

Island ice cave?

[bright mulch]

What do you need help with?

[ionic bobcat]

I have two servers in the same cluster, I literally copied number for number every stat from my PvE to my PvP, but on PvP everything is lower. Stats, harvesting etc, and I can't figure it out. I use Beacon

[brazen robin]

make sure singleplayer settings is off (or on if you want it)

[ashen spruce]

Hello! So I'm trying to tame a bloodstalker and I've got everything needed. Blood. Grapples. Sleeping bags. The stalker grabs me no problem but it keeps dropping me after about 3 seconds. Isthere anyway to stop this or? I've been trying to tame a stalker for days now.

[bright mulch]

Yea that makes no sense, if you copied it all correctly then there should be 0 issues.

I would investigate what Pumpkin mentioned

[ashen spruce]

I'm on a gen 1 server btw. PVP

[ionic bobcat]

That's not turned on on either server. The only thing I can think of is maybe I did something different with the first one since I was originally editing it using strictly Nitrado and then got Beacon? I'm not sure

Like maybe it's something I can't see

[red olive]

Could be you aren't close enough to it

[bright mulch]

Beacon would not change your settings, what I do is I import my files from nitrado into beacon, make the changes I need and then reupload them to the server via beacon

never had an issues with stuff being out of order

[ionic bobcat]

Well I had them on Nitrado, then some of the things I was changing needed "expert" settings, so I used Beacon for that and when adjusting within beacon for PvE I had no issues

[naive dust]

All caves have 6x damage

[fierce hare]

Hey guys, I just tried to activate tek suit powers in gen 1, added the Line

AllowTekSuitPowersInGenesis=True

But it didn't work. I am sure it worked for me years b4 on another server
The givens are the same: GPortal PS Server

Anyone an idea?

[sullen hatch]

however in general I suggest against using beacon since it makes it harder for people who don't use beacon to troubleshoot

[sullen hatch]

I'm assuming singleplayer settings are turned off on both?

[sullen hatch]

I'm assuming you added that line to gameusersettings.ini and not game.ini?

[fringe rover]

They both are yeah

[fringe rover]

Assuming “that” is the setting ofc

[sullen hatch]

ah, I missed that message, yeah

[fierce hare]

Yes it's said to be there isn't it?

I even tried it in the Line directly below
[Serversettings]

What I've also read

[sullen hatch]

yeah that's where it's meant to be, that's odd

[fierce hare]

Okay, that's a good thing so far. Then I'll gonna ask GPortal if they mixed some capitalization up again.. same goes for third person and pve they changed a little bit the capitalization and made it case sensitive :/

[wide gust]

@stiff topaz how to I set override to 20

[stiff topaz]

Check pins.

[ionic bobcat]

Yes

[stiff topaz]

which host are you using rn?

[stiff topaz]

if you added to the ini file directly then it won't work, gportal doesnt read ftp edits

[wet crater]

Super unlikely, but is there any way to extend mating ranges,?

Because hooo boy shadowmanes blow

[naive dust]

I’ve never heard of one. But positioning can allow you to get good numbers.

[dreamy lintel]

Played star dolphin for 6 hours... I near completion and the game decides to crash... Please fix this crashing on console i don't mind it crashing now and then but in vital missions it can literally make someone break their controller

[ionic bobcat]

Purchased servers through Nitrado, editing through Beacon

[stiff topaz]

try just copy paste the ini directly. can't go wrong when the files are identical

and then change to the respective mode ofc

[stiff topaz]

Got mods?
Also if you're in singleplayer, dedicated has a higher mating range so technically hosting dedi will work

[ionic bobcat]

I'll try that tomorrow, thank you

[wet crater]

Yeah I'm on ps4 so no dice sadly, I wasn't sure if there was a magic ini setting lol

[stiff topaz]

Nope, only mods and dedicated unfortuntately

[molten falcon]

hey

so im at the swamp labyrinth in lost island, however the artifacts do not spawn

[bright mulch]

You on single player ?

[molten falcon]

no im multiplayer

official server

checked it yesterday night aswell, but there wasnt any artifact aswell

[bright mulch]

Maybe someone pinched it before you

They take a while to spawn

[molten falcon]

i see

[true atlas]

Hello!

im trying to run a regular singplayer world no mods etc and keep getting sutck on the loading screen

iv tried restarting my pc, making sure my pc isnt overheated and nothing is working

[stiff topaz]

How long are you waiting? What map? Do any maps work, like ones you haven't played before? Otherwise could be an overspawn

[true atlas]

Im waiting like 30m then my game crashes and its TheIsland. I used to play a lot and did not have this issue at all

[stiff topaz]

What's the crash message? you can paste it into a text file when it closes and then send the first 5 lines.

[true atlas]

How do i get the crash msg?

[stiff topaz]

it appears on your screen when the game crashes

[true atlas]

That doesnt show up for me, it just disappears and goes back to steam like nothing happend

Its doing it again right now sadly

looks like iv never playing ark again

[stiff topaz]

try another map, like one you havent played before

[sly pendant]

why am I supressed? and why isn't the channel named after me as usual?

[naive dust]

Suppressed?

[sly pendant]

it says i have no permission to speak in the channel. i'm muted.

[naive dust]

You’re speaking right now.

[sly pendant]

voice channel...

[naive dust]

Oh.

[frail patrol]

i notified him before but i see links aren't updated yet. i'll ask again.

[stiff topaz]

let him know about the multiple crashy reapers spawn commands too maybe

[frail patrol]

you can dm him yourself about that 😛

[stiff topaz]

Random dms are rude

I tried pinging which I was hesitant about even, but got no response so uh

i always prefer to get permission to dm before i do so

especially since im sure he gets a lot of spammy dms

[frail patrol]

that's why you should make your name obnoxiously spammy and vandal-looking. you know, the way that would get a person autoblocked by filters on wiki

"Eclipse (i bred dodos) (does not like crashing reapers) (totally a playstation player)"

[stiff topaz]

XDD

[lament wing]

I have installed lost island on epic games and it's crashing when I start non hosted dedicated server or single player, do you have any solutions ?

[fierce hare]

Well via webbase configurator its direct change of the ini in browser. For ps we don't even get ftp settings or anything ;)

[rain mist]

thx for all the answers won't ping cuz spam

[kindred tulip]

t

[ashen spruce]

I swear i am, bro is like 9 feet above me

How close fo i have to be?

[crystal hare]

Not sure where to ask this but does anyone have or know a server that is on steam that is a cluster, with dino storage mod, s+, and stack mod?

[wide gust]

Hi everyone how do I replace the game.ini when in my folder I only have GameUserSettings

[mighty hatch]

I’m not sure

[fierce hare]

It now works, was a mistake by GPortal

[mellow shale]

is abberation the only map where i can do the reaper queen thing?

[fierce hare]

On Gen2 there are also reaper Queens at rockwells innards

[mellow shale]

Ah thank you

[crystal hare]

There r queens on that map? My god, just when I thought I got away from them

[vocal latch]

sometimes when i log on to a map with a cluster it dosent download the majority of my stuff like chibis armour and hot bar items

[polar sandal]

If I were to leave my map, come fjordor, would inviting someone to the tribe, promoting that person to leader, then me leaving the tribe - effectively give that person all my stuff?

[plain stag]

Yes

[polar sandal]

Neat

What if I wanted to take my argie with me

[misty jasper]

i cant build to save my goddamn life

[polar sandal]

I'ma guess terrain clipping

[misty jasper]

no i just cant build

[polar sandal]

Make box

Live there forever

Half the people in my server just live in a 5x5x5 box

[brazen robin]

cryo it before leaving the tribe.

[polar sandal]

Oh okay... Nervous to try that now... Guess I have a bit

[brazen robin]

if your tribe is set to player owned for dinos, all of them will follow you :P

[polar sandal]

Throw it out and it just start killing me

Me like "firefly why?!!?! "

[brazen robin]

as long as they are actually owned by you.

[brazen robin]

cryos when let out switch ownership. you can give random players cryos and its their dino now

[polar sandal]

I don't get owning. I'll be the only one on, I'll tame something then I'll come back later and it'll say owner:some1else

[brazen robin]

cryos switch ownership. and tribe settings do too

[polar sandal]

Oh okay

[crystal hare]

The cryopod things is always funny to see, I saw a video where someone raided a base and they had a full fridge of cryopods with Dino’s in it and the Raider took them all and got a giga that did 15k dmg with one bite 😂

[red olive]

Basically every base on smalls or official is like that lol

[wind epoch]

idk if i can ask for help about that here but my dododex is broken

3/4 of dino page don't work i can't choose food and the page don't update

[umbral wren]

how can i craft max amount of items?

[trail pasture]

Hold A

[wind epoch]

i go all the way to other side of the map to get a new sarco for it to get killed by raptor 20 lvl lower than him

[umbral wren]

it's doing it one by one

not 100 by 100

[trail pasture]

Then smt is wrong

[umbral wren]

i had the same issue in epic game

can you show me your keyboard settings in dm please?

[trail pasture]

Not home

[plain stag]

What are you crafting?

[umbral wren]

everything

Gunpowder, Spark powder

Advanced rifle bullet

[plain stag]

Ah, some stuff you can only craft one at a time so I was curious.

[umbral wren]

i'm doing full LR click

to craft 100 by 100

but it's long and annoying

[plain stag]

Rightclick craft all/amount doesn't work?

[umbral wren]

no

it's 100, it's not enough

[plain stag]

I'm not sure, you should be able to at least type the amount if "a" doesn't work.

[umbral wren]

do you have A for 1 and A for 100?

cuz it's 1 by one for me when i press A

[plain stag]

You should still be able to hit "a" more than once, it adds 100 each time, or as much as it can.

[umbral wren]

i'll send you the video

[plain stag]

did you change your keybinds maybe?

[umbral wren]

i had the same issue when i was on epic game

[umbral wren]

That's why i asked this : *

idk, i have set same key as minecraft

nvm

it's this ._.

[plain stag]

Maybe reset them back to default

[umbral wren]

now i can do it

thanks for the help

[plain stag]

You're welcome

[umbral wren]

ohhh ok : use = A

and craft 100 -> A...

that's why

[plain stag]

What were you using? We said that lmao

[umbral wren]

it's E (1)
A (100)

has A and A

can't i change the key ?

of (100)

[plain stag]

I'm not sure if you can change the default crafting keys. You'd have to look at keybinds.

E is 1, A is 100.

[umbral wren]

no you can't 😭

i'm forced to use weird keys

like old A -> C

(E for you)

thanks

it's better to have this when you are a farmer, especially when you are playing in a x100 in pvp server.... x)

thanks a lot

[deep cedar]

Can i bola an alpha raptor?

It ate 4 of my raptors and i cant manage to kill it

[potent wagon]

whatever you make "use", it makes it the key to craft 1 item

for me crafting 1 item is r

[potent wagon]

no but you can try to trap it, early game if i stumble upon an alpha raptor i use a stone trap to kill it

it does damage the structure but i normally kill it in time before it breaks it

i use 2 stone foundation, 6 stone doorframes, 2 wood ramps

[plain stag]

@umbral wren

[limpid mesa]

Will turrets shoot if they are over cap?

[deep cedar]

Ty

[worldly garnet]

Fjoooooorduuuuuur

[molten oyster]

ok so uhhh, I made a small oopsie (forgetting to disable mating on a server with boosted mating/incubation and leaving it overnight) and now the server is a bit broken. How do you rollback a nitrado server?

I should add that I am not the owner, but the owner cannot figure it out

update: gportal not nitrado

[fast valley]

Hey. I'm kinda new to the game. Anyone recommend a good server? I can't find a good one.

[abstract wharf]

Why does it always take 1000 tries to get someone to be able to join me

[pallid creek]

Just opened my server to the public today if you'd like to check it out, its a little more hardcore than the other servers but it's fun

[crystal hare]

Hardcore how?

[pallid creek]

Slightly more difficult than the average server. I don't like the idea of insanely boosted stuff making the game insanely easy. It isn't default settings but I had a couple kids come whining to me today saying it was TOO difficult, unfortunately I had to disagree, which made them upset so they decided to spam me with messages, invites, etc, until I decided they weren't cut out for the server and removed them. So join at your own risk, understand that I won't cater to your every need, and it will not be a cake walk.

[pallid creek]

^^^

With that said though I am open to suggestions, not demands, but suggestions. Polite suggestions.

[crystal hare]

Oh ok can u send me a dm of server name? I will try it when I can get on ark

[pallid creek]

done

[hard breach]

Hey I'm on official PvP Rag server with 6 megalodons, and I was building but six poofed, I checked tribe log and K visioned under the map but I can't find them

[ashen spruce]

Hello! So i just read the color announcement thingy, and all PlayStation servers have 2x rates till monday or am i misunderstanding?

[mortal sky]

Any Bob with probs

[fringe rover]

Correct

[ashen spruce]

Thanks

[vernal rock]

how do i activate the rainbow 7th anniversary event on my ark server? i see what it says on the announcement, but dont know where to find that or input that

[jovial stirrup]

where is the lfg

[naive dust]

#735196255483068497

[radiant falcon]

it said i paid 14 for gportal but took away 18 is that taxes ?

[bright mulch]

I would assume so, before Nitrado for example starting taking Australian dollars I had to pay an extra $5 due to currency exchange.

If you are concerned you can contact G-portal and they can refund the $4

Just looked now at G portal, for me it says $13 US but thanks to currency conversion I will need to actually pay $17.92 AU @radiant falcon

[radiant falcon]

can i change that

[bright mulch]

I do not believe so, at least from I see. Looks like G-portal charges in US currency only

[swift sluice]

What happens in the birthday event

[modern drift]

Colours and rates.

[valid horizon]

when i open microsoft store ark, it goes onto the blue screen for a second and then crashes

any idea how to fix this?

[dapper flower]

What server do I go to for a fun time with 2 other people? Official takes too long to do anything and most other servers have random chinese people who haven't seen the light of day that go around the map wiping everything in sight. I'd prefer pvp servers as pvp's infinitely more fun than pve

[deft scroll]

well exo tek suit work outside of gen2 with ele?

[pale anchor]

if you have the tekgram
@deft scroll

[deft scroll]

thanks

[pale anchor]

no problem

[deft scroll]

just starting playing again so no flyers yet 🙂

gathering dust on gen2 and transfering out

[pale anchor]

aha i see

do old maps get new creatures? so for example do redwoods on ragnarok for instance get new creatures like the deinopithecus?

[deft scroll]

i haven't checked yet, but they never did that before i don't think

[pale anchor]

cuz i swear is saw a deinopithecus on rag

[deft scroll]

i never add new creatures to old maps, but maybe things change since i was gone

[pale anchor]

yea i have no idea either

[deft scroll]

rag is where i first learned to play ark, its my fav

[pale anchor]

same

lost island did kind of take its place in popularity though

[stiff topaz]

I mean technically they did but it was an accident

Only Valg actually sees the dinopiths though, on rag they get turned into raptors. Which werent in the redwoods originally, so.. technically it's a change

[pale anchor]

i see

[stiff topaz]

With a mod you can fix the thing that turns them into raptors though

[pale anchor]

so it was possibly real

eh i dont care that much just wondering

[stiff topaz]

if you had a mod, it's flat impossible to make them naturally spawn on most maps with alpha raptors otherwise

Valg and obviously LI being the exceptions

[pale anchor]

okay i see

[cunning gyro]

Lost island is frfr the no-Genesis player’s sanctuary

I was gonna send “No genesis?” with the pic but then I realised media isn’t allowed here

[flint forge]

how do i prevent dino from spawning near my base...?

[frigid steeple]

Uhh I don’t think there are many ways probaly place stuff around your base

[spark pine]

Can’t seem to activate the new event ?

[hollow spear]

Put pillar then put ladder on the pillar all around your base, doesn't need to be too close but not too far together

[flint forge]

ok so i spam foundations... and it work, so i guess ill take it

[polar sandal]

Sometimes when I send messages it doesn't show up on chat, but my friends can see it, and sometimes when others send me messages I don't see it but others do

Is this something with my settings or more of a internet problem

[subtle kayak]

If you're typing in game it could be you're using the Tribe only chat and trying to talk to people outside of your tribe

[subtle kayak]

Official servers & third party servers only - if you're playing on Single player or player dedicated then you can't activate the event. Wildcard failed to mention this in their announcement

[spark pine]

Ahhh amazing so no event for the cluster then lmao

[polar sandal]

It says global when I push LB+menu then when I hit send - nothing

[molten falcon]

Are u scrolled all the way down in the chat?

[subtle kayak]

LB + start is global

LB + back is tribe

[polar sandal]

I don't think that's correct, the button with the two windows on it, plus LB brings up the chat window and it says global in the bottom left

[molten falcon]

I know this stupid response but it happens to me u scrolled to bottom of chat?

[polar sandal]

I have tried before. Hold the menu then go to chat scroll but I dunno it's like I just disconnect from the chat.

[molten falcon]

Damn dude that's crazy maybe relog?

[polar sandal]

Maybe. Xbox live seems to be having party chat issues as of late. Might just blame them lol

[molten falcon]

lol yeh ps here bruh

Jk jk

[spark pine]

Just confirming that includes hosted servers ?

[subtle kayak]

Anything on GPortal or Nitrado should be able to activate the event to my knowledge

If you're hosting the server yourself on an Xbox or Playstation then you're out of luck as that would require a client update

[spark pine]

No we have a dedicated server ? Have done the update to the right version but the event not active

[subtle kayak]

If you're on a dedicated server, like me, then you cannot activate the event

[spark pine]

Right

Thanks

Just wanted to be sure lol

[subtle kayak]

I.e. On the main menu you use "Player Dedicated Server"
