Here's the patch note for the turret changes when they land on the 18th: Quote - You can now enable the retroactive turret hard limit by enabling this setting in your game.ini under ShooterGameMode: bHardLimitTurretsInRange=True This will work on autoturrets, heavy turrets, tek turrets, plant turrets and is no longer map specific. The hard limit calculation is done on start-up, so if your turrets are ever over the limit, they will be randomly shut-off until you're under the limit.

You can also use ?RaidDinoCharacterFoodDrainMultiplier=1.0 on the server commandline to affect how quickly the food drains on such "Raid Dinos" (just Titanosaurus for now).Note for Unofficial Servers: If you wish to destroy structures within the new Biomes, you can launch your servers with this commandline parameter (that's a dash, not a question mark -- put this at the end of your server commandline -StructureDestructionTag=DestroyRedwoodSnowStructures Note this command will only execute once per server save! v242.9 * Increased server performance another 8% * Fixed a Grappling Hook crash * Concluded the ARK Anniversary Event * Fixed a potential Mod item crash Unversioned Hotfix: Fixed a replication threading issue that could have caused invisible players.

These require server-side update: * Fixed some Raft exploits (C4-Poker and Breach-Rafts) * Reduced the scaling by 50% of Dino Adult Food Consumption rate when unstasising. This is to help compensate for the bug fix in v242.0 which now correctly utilizes the Adult Food Consumption Rate when unstasising a Dinosaur (hence the higher rate of consumption on Giganotosaurus, which were one of the few Dinosaurs to use that multiplier). * Allowed Vaults to be built on Rafts, specifically. * Fixed Raft naming & some other potential Raft networking issues. * Made Fortitude slightly more effective for avoiding Disease (90 Fortitude == 80% reduction in Disease chance, rather than 110 Fortitude)v242.5 Unversioned Hotfix: Fixed a crash that was affecting some Mods/TC's on/near startup.

This is enabled by default. To disable it, add: WindowsServer\Game.ini (or LinuxServer) [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] bPvEAllowTribeWar=false If you want Tribes to be able to cancel an agreed-upon war before it has actually started (default not allowed), then you can also add into that INI: bPvEAllowTribeWarCancel=truev222.9 * Fixed issue with player harvesting at low-ish server FPS (please update unofficial servers accordingly) * Fixed issue with foliage potentially respawning over structures/dinos and destroying them (it appears)v222.8 * A Giganotosaurus entering 'Rage' via damage also instantly enrages any nearby allied Giganotosaurus' * Fixed bug that was making Giganotosaurus' invincible during their 'Rage' mode * Reduced 400MB of Texture Memory, woot * Ended some remaining 'Fear Evolved' bits (Obelisk Colors, Bone Alpha Dinos -- all of your costumes/hats already earned are kept, of course!) * Fixed IK issue with dinosuar's legs getting "stuck" underneath floors * Fixed a case where Dinos could deal damage faster than normal * Sword and Shield Durabilities increased by 60%v222.7 * More Streaming Performance / Framerate Improvements * Fixed Lock-All PvE Tribute Terminals being Locked * Giganotosaurus Rage Mode will no longer target other Giganotosaurus' on the same team * Fixed rare server-side crash associated with level streaming * Steam 'Big Picture' now Defaults to FullscreenWindowed Mode * Steam Controller 'Big Picture' Text Input Entryv222.6 Unversioned Hotfix: Holding [E] from accessing the Activation Wheel to open Inventory Menu will no longer cause the Inventory Menu to instantly close. * Fixed inability for flyers to drop carried 'mounted' dinosaurs if they became dismounted while carried * Fixed case where giganotosaurus could still stand on rafts/platform structures * On servers with "ForceAllStructureLocking" (PvE etc), such structures are now locked by default * Fixed a potential client crash with the new optimized occlusion system * Fixed a number of issues with networking pre-placed characters and structures i.e. pertinent to ARK: Pirate World * Total Conversion Dedicated Servers launched via the in-game menu will now correctly launch with their Total Conversion ID * Option for Total Conversions to only list specific level filenames in the play game menu, not all levels. Since potentially a TC will include its own maps, or may not work with generic custom maps. * Option for Total Conversion to only list specific Mod ID's, since often most Mods will not work properly with a TC. * Option for Total Conversions to default to "unofficial" server list rather than Official Server list (defaults to TRUE, since only SotF is a TC that uses Official Servers currently)v222.5 * Giganotosaurus Tamed Damage & HP reduced by 40% (in v223.0 we will rebalance this further to scale more by level) * Giganotosaurus can no longer stand on rafts or flyer platforms * Giganotosaurus Rage reduction-over-time reduced by 40% (in effect making it easier to Rage) * Giganotosaurus Tamed (non-Baby) Food Consumption rate increased by 6x * Made Baby Giganotosaurus' cuter * In PvP, "Enemy Structure Demolish/Claim Time" is no longer displayed on the HUD until you are able to actually claim (as it allowed identification of enemy Tribe offline-time) * Halloween Structures (Placeable Jack-o-Lanterns, Scarecrows, etc) removed from Inventories unless ?AllowDeprecatedStructures=true commandline is used) * On Primitive Servers, Giganotosaurus Damage reduced by 60% more and HP reduced by 30% morev222.4 * Fixed a potential server startup crash case and a potential issue involving Dinosaur data networkingv222.3 Unversioned Hotfix Removed "Shockprod" item from media, isn't ready yet Unversioned Hotfix: Fixed erroneous Inventory keypress closures.

(Latest NVIDIA driver is recommended!) * TPV Shield size no longer scales with hand size * Fixed a potential case where you couldn't "Hide Sail" on Rafts * Servers that update to this will no longer have Halloween Structures, as intended. Servers that want to keep the Halloween Structures around for a while are welcome to do with by using the ?AllowDeprecatedStructures=true commandline (note you need to use this before relaunching your server with this update otherwise the structures will be destroyed). * Fixed issue with disappearing projectiles on very, very large maps (I'm lookin' at you "ARK Pirate World" Total Conversion!) * Improved Giganotosaurus swim
