djenkins72968 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Back to ARK after a long break Hello all, I just returned to ARK after a break of a couple years. I wanted to play the new Genesis map. I started a couple weeks ago as a new character on Genesis (single player) in the bog. One of the first things I did was craft a fishing net. I never caught anything with it. I never saw any fish in the water. I just brushed it off as being intentional...maybe there were just no fish in the bog. I also never saw any sarcos. I have a friend that I talked into returning a few days after I did. He was playing his own single player game. He had fish and sarcos all over his map. I've watched a couple of youtube videos on different people playing in the bog, and there are a couple more dinos that they had that I am missing also, but I forget the names of them right now. At first, I wasn't using any mods, but as I got further in, I installed Super Structures and a couple of reusable mods. Everything seemed mostly fine, except I noticed that resources weren't respawning in areas I thought they should be. I reduced the respawn radius around my character and structures, but that made no difference. I read on the forums that maybe this was due to the mission areas? Could be....my base is pretty close to the dodo basketball mission. Then I went to the Arctic zone to find obsidian. I found it and built a base quite a ways up the hill from where it spawned. There was also a lot of metal in that area. I harvested the metal and obsidian. The metal respawned, but the obsidian never did. Also, I thought while I was there, I'd try to get an otter. I went to the frozen lake, but there were no otters there. I searched the other bodies of water on the map, but couldn't find otters anywhere. Also....no fish...at all. The most game breaking thing happened last night and I'm not sure what to do. I crafted the SS Chemistry Bench a couple days ago and all seemed fine. Yesterday, I installed a stack mod (Super Stacks), and after that, I have no engrams available in the chemistry bench. I have read on the forums that stack mods can cause that, so I disabled the mod and logged back in. No change, I still didn't have any engrams available in the chemistry bench. I picked up the bench and crafted a new on (also Super Structures), and still no change. I have made sure that the bench was hooked up to electricity and also had gas in it. With all of these issues, I decided to uninstall and reinstall the game. I backed up my game, then uninstalled through Steam and deleted all folders that had to do with ARK. I then re downloaded and reinstalled the game. I started with a fresh character in the bog with no mods installed at all. I still saw no fish or sarcos. I then reinstalled Super Structures and restored my saved game and logged back in. I still cant see any engrams in the chemistry bench (all other tools such as the industrial cooker, industrial forge and fabricator are fine...I see all engrams in those). I spawned a regular chemistry bench and placed it, but still no engrams. Its hard to continue with this issue. I was hoping someone here could give advice to help? Is it worth continuing with Genesis if I don't have a bunch of creatures spawning? If I move my character and dino to another map, will I still have the chemistry bench issue? Thanks for any help!

djenkins72968 Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Just a follow up.... I uploaded my survivor and downloaded him on The Island map. I spawned into the South easy zone. I went into the water there, and there were absolutely no fish anywhere! I spawned a stone foundation and a chemistry bench. I placed them and opened up the chemistry bench and there were no engrams! How did my game get so screwed up when a friend of mine is having no issues at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
