Administrator Jatheish Posted December 28, 2016 Administrator Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hello Survivors! We were encouraged by Valve to rally the Community to come together and vote in the upcoming Steam Awards. We thought what better way to do this than add a modern-day farmyard animal! In our excitement, Ovis Aries was designed as a fun celebration of the nomination. We want to make it clear that regardless of whether ARK wins a Steam Award or not, Ovis will be making its debut in the next major ARK version update! If you hadn't caught up, ARK has been nominated by the Steam Selection Committee for a Steam Award! We are a finalist in this category; The “Best Use Of A Farm Animal” Award - Animals are rad and almost any game is better for including them. This game used a farm animal in the best way possible. Voting has begun, and we'd appreciate if everyone can vote today at http://store.steampowered.com/SteamAwards/! We are really honored by the nomination, and are thankful for all the support plus ARK’s recognition in this category. Whilst ARK’s animals may be non-traditional in modern farming, some have held such roles in the past, and ARK contains a variety of animal farming mechanics: such as wild animal taming, breeding, slaughtering/harvesting of animals, workhorse animals (for resource/crop farming), and of course who can forget working with animal byproducts (manure, milk, and other substances). Thank you and happy shearing (& mutton chopping) in ARK v254 View full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar Button Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 ok so we can ride it and eat it and get pelt from it, but can we use it in the traditional welsh way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR-8R Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) I believe we can use scissor and cut pelt from it . What i want is these guys better grow very fast and female sheep can feed theirs young . Edited December 28, 2016 by TR-8R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingLotus Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Can't wait for a sustainable pelt farm! And the Dino itself looks very well done. Nice work!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilNastyGurl Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I remember the last post about this going "Please vote for us to win this award, even though we never actually put this in the game yet!" Good save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator GP Posted December 28, 2016 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2016 1 hour ago, HillFamily said: Is this sheep going to be available on Xbox one. Yes, all creatures will be available on all platforms. I believe they said it will come at the same time, but I can't say for sure, but regardless of that there is never a dino that is on one platform and not another.

Elfnar22 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 this dino is going to be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozz3605 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 This is nice and all and i LOVE the game but could you plz check the Official island servers that you moved to better hadware..its now unplayable when more then 12 people online,massive lags,pings..and i got 3 hours more on my breeds thats NOT fun at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theupgrade Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hopefully we can shear pelt off of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varunastra Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 5 hours ago, TheMandalorian said: Omg yes! Lmfao such a pointless creature to add tho. Not exactly. If you can shear them (which i believe you can since growing hair will be added), then you could add all sorts of woolen products such as wool clothes, mittens, hats, scarves, etc for colder climates. They could also be used as materials for other items as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirLohengrin Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 love this game but can't help but laugh at the situations WC gets itself into. Now you've created drama over sheep of all things. Seriously quid pro quo for sheep? Gotta put more thought into how you present things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin0018 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 You guys dont understand, they are used for extreme raids, everybody fears them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cucharon Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Please make them easy to breed. Like Minecraft, babies of farm animals shouldn't require take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
