  • Community Crunch 498: Introducing Acrocanthosaurus from ARK: Additions!

    image.png

    We’re thrilled to welcome yet another long-awaited creature from Garuga123’s ARK: Additions into the official world of ARK: Survival Ascended. These incredible creatures continue to bring fresh gameplay, new challenges, and some seriously epic tames to the ARK.

    The Acrocanthosaurus is stomping onto the scene as a brutal frontline powerhouse. Built for the thick of battle, this massive carnivore truly shines when the fight turns against it. The longer the fight goes, the more fearsome it becomes, turning injuries into momentum and refusing to back down when others might fall.

    But it is not just a savage attacker. The Acrocanthosaurus has a defensive edge that makes it especially formidable in a survivor’s hands, able to hold the line, draw attention, and weather the chaos head-on. 
    Whether charging into danger or standing firm against it, this creature will command the battlefield by sheer presence alone on March 31.

    Keep up with the development on ARK: Additions in Garuga’s Discord!

    Here’s a first glimpse of the upcoming ocean systems currently being tested inside the Genesis Part 1 biome. While the ship assets shown here are temporarily borrowed from ATLAS for early functional testing, the final release will feature brand-new ships built specifically for ARK: Survival Ascended.

    The real focus of this test, however, is the new water physics system built from the ground up for Genesis Part 1. Waves, buoyancy, and ship movement are all being actively developed and tested as we shape the foundations of large-scale maritime gameplay within Genesis’s ocean environments.

    These systems will ultimately support a full maritime experience across a map-wide ocean biome, where real water physics, customizable ships, semi-procedural islands and fortresses to discover, and large-scale naval battles across the high seas will define life on the water.

    Want to build your own ARK world without learning the Dev Kit? With the in-game ASA World Creator, players on any platform, including consoles, can design their own maps directly within ARK and share them with others via the Mod Browser.

    While creators won’t be able to make new art assets or perform the deep construction associated with the full Dev Kit, the system provides powerful tools for building playable worlds. Creators will be able to place and modify actors, create reusable templates, edit their properties, adjust overall world settings, configure volumes and spawners, add mods and skin packs, and implement simple gameplay logic through a brand new scripting layer that combines Lua scripting with a Blueprint API.

    Everything shown in the screenshot is part of the in-game interface, including the full GUI and property editing tools!

    It’s certainly a huge amount of work with the new water system, and it’s great that you’re learning new things. But are you sure it’s really worth the effort?

    Each of the planned story maps is supposed to deliver a unique gameplay experience. However, considering that this bold feature likely won’t be reused much on other, very different maps…

    The servers may become deserted after 4–5 months.

    So is it really worth it?

    It will come.  first quarter is not done yet

    I wonder if these new ships will need materials that aren't available on earlier maps, so they end up only being commonly seen on Genesis Part 1. Or if they'll have a slow self-healing ability like the Genesis Part 2 canoe had and if you can't place a bed onto them whether they'll act as a respawn point the same way the canoe originally did before that got removed during a bug fix. Maybe the sails on these new ships will give some speed bonus since the rafts sails don't give a bonus when kept unhidden.

    And if these ships do get carried over to maps that Leedsichthys spawn on, whether they'll aggro them and get sunk or if you'll be able to deploy these new ships in lava as a short-term bridge that gets damaged over time.

    First quarter ends THIS month, we haven’t gotten a single piece of news yet and considering how much they love to delay stuff they could at least be upfront about it

    It's entirely possible to run Rockwell with two people, especially on gamma. If you're on official you can ask other people for help as well which makes it even easier to do.

    Everyone talking about the Gen 1 and Acro but I’m hyped to make my own themed maps (both are also really exciting)

    Yay Atlas is back. I hope for the nice ships you could build in the beginning of Atlas. 

     

    And I really really hope the we can have Grids again to expand the map. That would be awesome

    I don't believe they ever said the TLCs will release each quarter though. They said throughout 2026. For all we know could be all through the second half of the year.
