Jen Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! Homestead Update Tomorrow! It's finally arrived! We're beyond thrilled to be releasing Structure Plus (S+) and the long-awaited kibble rework (now packaged together as 'Homestead') to all of our survivors March 5th 2019! If you can dream it, you can build it! Homestead includes the major elements of Structures Plus (S+), a player created Sponsored Mod by Orionsun. S+ has maintained a large following of users over an extended period of time, and its move to console has long been requested. We are particularly excited to finally be able to share this with our console survivors who will be using it for the very first time. Here are the new building features included in Homestead: Dedicated bulk storage Triangle foundations, ceilings and roof pieces Four high walls Fence supports for level walls Flexible pipes and electrical cables Double doors Swappable variants for ramps/stairs New visual variants for existing structures Along-side the update to structures we also have our kibble rework included in this patch! Previously the Kibble system worked like a tree, the egg of one creature being used in a kibble to tame the next creature in line. Often these kibbles didn’t make sense in terms of game progression and became more redundant with each new creature that was added to the game. Each creature now falls into one of six categories, and that creature’s egg can be used to tame any creature within that specific category. Instead of having 50+ different kibbles all requiring a different specific egg, it is drastically reduced to: Basic, Simple, Regular, Superior, Exceptional, and Extraordinary kibbles! You can expect the Homestead update to hit your respective platform around 10am PST tomorrow starting with PC and concluding with PS4. We invite you to watch our Homestead trailer to see a preview of the variety of structures that are now possible. All of the builds featured in the trailer are player-created and you can find links to how to build the structures in the video description. It has been an amazing experience for us to see our dedicated players create things we could have never imagined! We hope these changes to ARK inspire survivors to turn their wooden shack on the beach into the fortress of their dreams!

basilmemories Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 oof, that mana nerf. but at least flexible pipes. Anyway! i took the info about kibble and made it into a spreadsheet, since dododex is prob going to need some time to rework everything. Sorry it's not in google sheet form, i was... too lazy to redo the gradients for the overlapping produced/preferred options. if anyone can update me on the recipes, I'll update the pdf new kibble system.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
