    Later today the ARK will be updated to Version 236 and with it comes everyone's favourite organic craftsmen and restraints to capture those pesky raiders!

    Castoroides Feliconcisor is a large, mammalian herbivore that tends to live near water. Unlike other larger beaver species this one retains the chisel-shaped teeth of modern beavers.

    As is typical for beavers, they build dams as habitats, but the larger creatures on the island have a tendency to trample them. As a result, finding unsullied dams in the wild is quite rare. The creature naturally gathers wood extremely efficiently, far more than most species on the island. It's not the strongest creature, so it can only carry limited amounts, however with its fantastic chisel-shaped teeth, survivors find it quite the handy mount to use for crafting on the go!

    Patch 236 continues to adds more roleplaying fun, allowing Survivors to now handcuff each other and effectively enable them to wrangle prisoners! The patch also introduces a number of improved client and server side performance streaming improvements.

    Hope you guys have a dam good time!

    Also no one thought of the amazing things. One is that thatch and wood weigh one with of normal, and stone weighs half in a beaver's inventory. Second... think about it. A smithy with no slot limit besides the beaver's weight. Hasn't everyone been whining about being unable to craft certain blueprints? ASCENDANT blueprints? Here is the answer. Beavers are by far one of the best additions to the game, but so many failed to see that because its not a dinosaur.

    Honestly, the beaver is so useful it might even be a little OP 

    Personally i see it as a precursor for things to come. For example doedi and anky could both use the weight reduction for their respective resources. And if a beaver can carry a anvil and be a smithy, then my anky shall have a refining forge! :D.

    Not sure about the doedi though, its low level so its fine i guess...

     

    Btw, you can use the beaver without a saddle, park it next to a tree and cancel its orders and it will chuck it. Kinda like a doedi with stones, just way harder to tame.

    Last I heard there are no planned server wipes - I would think there'd be more of an uproar if any of the dev' team actually confirmed one.

    It seems likely-- at least for official servers.

    They seem to be planning on adding to the map, and depending on how they go about this, they may end up needing to wipe servers.

    It'd certainly be easier and cheaper than getting more servers.

    All really depends on how they implement the additions.

    In art, less is sometimes more. Series in their later years (True Blood) are ruined by the constant need to one up everything the year before. Hopefully this does not happen to this game. It would be a shame.

    It can act like a smithy?

    To craft wooden items.

    more or less to craft metal items, wood items are crafted in the players inventory, yes?

    The caves and bosses are delayed. Bosses are delayed because we still have a technical issue with cave we were hoping to resolve but weren't able to. (Low level rendering issue, it'll need some more profiling from the engineers before it's ready to go out, the caves that is -> which inevitably delays the bosses)

    No complaints from me! You guys work super hard and give us all kinds of yummy teasers and updates! I'll just sit back and patiently await my favorite dinos. :)

    OOh i wonder whats going to happen to those poor two captives.

    Please tell me that dams will actually work as dams and hold/build up water behind them an drain the water in front.

    Because if thats true im going to be building near a waterfall when they come out on console.

    sir, sir, I would like to advise you what you had quoted was a massive joke in terms of the beaver being a war mount.

    That would be funny to see though.

    "Oh, God Jerry! They've got a... a... Beaver...? Oh." *Snipes it* "We're good"

    Lol or yet let the mini guns take cere of it

    This is quite possibly the best all around addition to the game and it's adorable.

    Why can't beavers today be as deadly as those talking about packing a punch for its size.
