    ARKitect!

    This is an award given to Survivors to celebrate the amazing structures you build. These bases are judged based upon a number of different factors such as their creativity, uniqueness, how fun of a base it is, the difficulty of building it, the functionality it provides and much more!

    There were a lot of fantastic entries this week, so it was very difficult to choose winners out of the bunch. Fantastic job by everyone who entered, but let’s get to it:

    The ARKitect for Community Crunch 59..

    Howdy Survivors!

    I hope you are having a blast with your new primitive items!  Over the past week, I’ve been monitoring the forums and social media taking in your feedback.  Your voices have been heard!  I realize this launch wasn’t squeaky clean and not in the ideal place to launch the “official” version.  Some of those arose due to the conversion to DLC, while others had already existed in the mod.  It was never my intention to have someone first experience of Primitive Plus be riddled with issues and bugs.  Needless to say, I’ve been busy in the lab making sure that I make this a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone.  

    large.57a560b80bff6_Primitive3.jpg.e40f0

    Instead of releasing a lot of little patches which cause server owners to constantly update, I’ve been saving a bulk of the updates for a rather massive hotfix.  You can take a look at what’s included here: 

    Also, you can take a look at what’s been reported here: 

    A big thanks to Jimmy NoShoes from the SurviveTheArk forums for compiling a comprehensive bug list.  I optimistically wanted to get the patch out this week but I’d rather be 100% sure that any game-breaking bugs have been ironed out.  We are only looking at a few more days - thanks for holding out!

    large.57a560c69be9b_Primitive4.jpg.b06f2

    On a positive note, I’m excited for what the future holds for Primitive Plus.  In addition to the launch on Xbox, I’ll still be adding new content that I’ve teased on my Twitter.  Here’s what you can expect once we get to a ‘stable release’

    • Yurt - A placeable tent that you can put structures in!?!?!
    • Rope Bridge - Compliment your adventures in the Redwoods Biome!
    • Cooking Recipes - There’s more in store for all you primitive chefs!
    • Trapping Expansion - More traps to catch the deadly predators on the island
    • Custom Windows - Custom window styles that fit the P+ structure tiers
    • Behemoth Gates - When regular sized gates aren’t enough

    These are just a few things that will be coming relatively soon!  I have some larger scale ideas and primitive systems that I’m working on that I won’t say just yet :)  Be sure to keep sending in your suggestions and feedback on what you like and don’t like!  I want to thank all of the Primitive Plus fans for holding tight and also those who are trying it out for the first time.

    I will be sure to keep you updated with my progress on bug fixes and new things coming down the pipeline.  I can’t thank you enough for your patience and feedback!  The hotfix above will be in your hands in a few days - until then…… Cheers!

    Ced

    Always good to see the communities creations, really inspiring! Everyone has done a great job as always and I'm sure there is plenty more where it came from. Keep up the great work guys.

     

    Sadly there's nothing on P+ for Xbox release. Last word on it, as far as I know, was one of the WC team saying it was a few weeks away on twitter. Now here we are a few weeks later! Well patience is a virtue, so I'll wait. Although I'm definitely looking forwards to its release and when it does, I shall master cooking and building, Hazzah!

    I wish for an urban ruins map.

    That would be interesting, to say the least. Although the main problem for that is that there are now assets for modern structures. So a Modder would have to make them in order to do so.

    Congratulations to all of the winners and runners up!

    I've never seen anything quite like this weekly contest, and the huge volume of highly creative works it has inspired.

    *Ahem*

    A slight beef with this. CiTyS's dossiers have been featured before in an earlier crunch. In other words, you've only shown one new fanmade dossier, excluding the Mysterious Mysteries, props to him for figuring that out.

     

     

    Also I could go off on a certain rant about CiTyS's dossiers, but I wont.

    It's turned out to be significantly more complex to properly package up P+ for console release than we anticipated. Basically, can't have 5 minute load times on console, ;) 

    (But yes, we have some of our engineers working on it every day and it's getting done, should be submitted to Microsoft soon -- it's requiring some new technical pipelines to package it up in a manner that we can maintain without having every Xbox update be 4GB -- Xbox updates aren't packaged with per-byte differences like Steam updates, but rather only per-file which) 

    Looking forward to playing P+ on Xbox with ya soon,
    Jeremy

    I love that you guys post stuff like this and give fans props and feedback, but why don't we ever hear anything for the ps4 version ever?

    its because the game is in development, and both xbox and pc have early access programs and sony don't, wildcard could only release the game on ps4 when its fully finished, which is now set for around Christmas I think. Blame sony for not having a early access program.

    indeed I know what you mean, sadly tho with all the bugs with xbox last patches, I suspect we are a very long way off a final product  . Suspect final product q1/q2 2017 , that would be when ps4 version comes out. You will be getting sotf soon tho hopefully.

    I've been getting on ARK every night in hopes of the update. An Allo pack would really help with this herd of Brontos on my island. Seriously...like seven Brontos across the cove from me, and two more on a small island a few feet out of the cove. I don't have the means to tame a Rex yet...

    Pretty simple though, we live in a bunch of squares.

    "Basically, can't have 5 minute load times on console, " 

    By this i think it means that xbox doesn't allow a game to sit and load for 5 minutes, ie session timeouts.

    Or that MS QA has a maximum load time for a game, else it can't pass QA. Both of these are probably wrong as I ain't no expert in this area.

    Either way, I'm just glad we got some info on it.

    Where did it say "and ARK Digest" mate. I don't recall seeing it. 

    Jovial Jibes aside, the next digest should be here soon and pray that one of your questions are in it!
