I hope you are having a blast with your new primitive items! Over the past week, I’ve been monitoring the forums and social media taking in your feedback. Your voices have been heard! I realize this launch wasn’t squeaky clean and not in the ideal place to launch the “official” version. Some of those arose due to the conversion to DLC, while others had already existed in the mod. It was never my intention to have someone first experience of Primitive Plus be riddled with issues and bugs. Needless to say, I’ve been busy in the lab making sure that I make this a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone. Instead of releasing a lot of little patches which cause server owners to constantly update, I’ve been saving a bulk of the updates for a rather massive hotfix. You can take a look at what’s included here: Also, you can take a look at what’s been reported here: A big thanks to Jimmy NoShoes from the SurviveTheArk forums for compiling a comprehensive bug list. I optimistically wanted to get the patch out this week but I’d rather be 100% sure that any game-breaking bugs have been ironed out. We are only looking at a few more days - thanks for holding out! On a positive note, I’m excited for what the future holds for Primitive Plus. In addition to the launch on Xbox, I’ll still be adding new content that I’ve teased on my Twitter. Here’s what you can expect once we get to a ‘stable release’ Yurt - A placeable tent that you can put structures in!?!?! Rope Bridge - Compliment your adventures in the Redwoods Biome! Cooking Recipes - There’s more in store for all you primitive chefs! Trapping Expansion - More traps to catch the deadly predators on the island Custom Windows - Custom window styles that fit the P+ structure tiers Behemoth Gates - When regular sized gates aren’t enough These are just a few things that will be coming relatively soon! I have some larger scale ideas and primitive systems that I’m working on that I won’t say just yet Be sure to keep sending in your suggestions and feedback on what you like and don’t like! I want to thank all of the Primitive Plus fans for holding tight and also those who are trying it out for the first time. I will be sure to keep you updated with my progress on bug fixes and new things coming down the pipeline. I can’t thank you enough for your patience and feedback! The hotfix above will be in your hands in a few days - until then…… Cheers!

DaEndGame Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Always good to see the communities creations, really inspiring! Everyone has done a great job as always and I'm sure there is plenty more where it came from. Keep up the great work guys. Sadly there's nothing on P+ for Xbox release. Last word on it, as far as I know, was one of the WC team saying it was a few weeks away on twitter. Now here we are a few weeks later! Well patience is a virtue, so I'll wait. Although I'm definitely looking forwards to its release and when it does, I shall master cooking and building, Hazzah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the main problem for that is that there are now assets for modern structures. So a Modder would have to make them in order to do so.

Shadlos Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 *Ahem* A slight beef with this. CiTyS's dossiers have been featured before in an earlier crunch. In other words, you've only shown one new fanmade dossier, excluding the Mysterious Mysteries, props to him for figuring that out. Also I could go off on a certain rant about CiTyS's dossiers, but I wont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's turned out to be significantly more complex to properly package up P+ for console release than we anticipated. Basically, can't have 5 minute load times on console, (But yes, we have some of our engineers working on it every day and it's getting done, should be submitted to Microsoft soon -- it's requiring some new technical pipelines to package it up in a manner that we can maintain without having every Xbox update be 4GB -- Xbox updates aren't packaged with per-byte differences like Steam updates, but rather only per-file which) Looking forward to playing P+ on Xbox with ya soon, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonLordCronos Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I love that you guys post stuff like this and give fans props and feedback, but why don't we ever hear anything for the ps4 version ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame sony for not having a early access program. Edited August 6, 2016 by gmunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonLordCronos Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) My problem with it is that we dont hear a single thing about it. We just want to be updated on the progress thats made even if its a short sentence like "Its looking good" Edited August 6, 2016 by DemonLordCronos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect final product q1/q2 2017 , that would be when ps4 version comes out. You will be getting sotf soon tho hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyinJapman4 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I've been getting on ARK every night in hopes of the update. An Allo pack would really help with this herd of Brontos on my island. Seriously...like seven Brontos across the cove from me, and two more on a small island a few feet out of the cove. I don't have the means to tame a Rex yet...

"Basically, can't have 5 minute load times on console, " By this i think it means that xbox doesn't allow a game to sit and load for 5 minutes, ie session timeouts. Or that MS QA has a maximum load time for a game, else it can't pass QA. Both of these are probably wrong as I ain't no expert in this area. Either way, I'm just glad we got some info on it.
