Community Crunch 508: Side by Tide

se ve muy guapa y prometedora, ya espero poder crear junto a drakeen una ciudadela en el mar en la red oficial, si nos ven recuerden este nombre, dados marinos. 

 

It's nice seeing lots of submissions with spiders in them. If we get another holiday event in the future where Araneo spawn above ground that'd be really cool and show off how much more powerful they've become.

Wonder if the Tidepup will restore your health directly or just reduce dot effects; with enough buffs and regen items you can do things like go through the swamp cave naked (not that it's a good idea) but the Tidepup could make gas filled caves, cold snowy areas or hot volcanoes easier to go through for servers with challenges like max level 50 or no fabricator engram. I was kind of thinking the Tidepup would act like a shoulder-Diplocaulus and increase your oxygen but turning into a mount isn't bad, though it probably won't do much damage.

Please make the second shoulder pet space a thing rather than just for this one

been saying this since last oct We’re working with our partner at Nitrado to offer these saves after the scheduled sunset through Nitrado’s interface. Please stay tuned for more details. -.- YOU HAVE GIVEN ZERO DETAILS

Strange dog

The Araneo TLC far exceeded my expectations. I hope we can see more of this for other tames that have fallen to the wayside. Let there be no useless tames in Ark!

This thing looks pretty cool. I cant wait to sail the seas as an ark pirate as well as see some cool mods for the pirate ship. I've always wanted a giant knife at the front of the ship to be a deadly battering ram lol

Franchement, un trés beau boulot a été fait pour l'Araneo, vraiment hâte de voir les autres tlcs !

They'll probably give details nearer the time or at the time. Even if they gave details now you'd still not be able to do anything.

i hope they update the genesis dossiers to fit with the paleoctopus and tidepup

Watching the frost survival system from Nekatus actually gave me an idea for ASA/world survival mechanics that could help solve abandoned land claim spam in a way that feels immersive instead of admin enforced.

Instead of: “Admins manually delete spam structures”

the world itself slowly reclaims abandoned areas.

The frost system made me think — if extreme weather can affect players and the environment, why not abandoned structures too?

Not instant destruction, but gradual decay over time:

• abandoned foundations freeze over
• pillars crack
• metal rusts
• nature and snow slowly reclaim the area
• eventually structures collapse if nobody maintains them

Meanwhile active towns and real bases survive naturally because:

• generators provide heat/power
• structures are repaired
• tribes are active nearby
• maintained infrastructure protects the settlement

That feels way more immersive than: “Your decay timer expired.”

It would make the map feel alive and constantly renewing itself instead of becoming permanent abandoned clutter forever.

I think it would especially help newer players because old spam and abandoned builds would naturally disappear over time without requiring hard wipes or constant admin cleanup.

The coolest part is it rewards actual settlements, maintained towns, and active tribes instead of random single foundations every 20 meters forever.

Would love to see Wildcard lean harder into world systems like this with Genesis. Random place to put this but I didn't see one about genesis so jumped on this one to put it out to the world 

I can't wait to try it!
