And by bonanza, we mean, the drop rate of Rare, Very Rare and Legendary chibis will be dialled to over 9000! Unofficial Servers can enable the event with the following commandline param: -NewYearEvent To modify the times, the following commandline parameters can also be used: ?NewYear1UTC=1609477200 ?NewYear2UTC=1609497200 You can use https://www.epochconverter.com/ to get your appropriate timestamp.

Here are instructions on how to host your own SotF server, and the various new INI/commandline values:http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/10/530649887204866610/ * Re-Fertilizer now acts upon an area, not on a single foliage * Warning time on turrets is no longer used when targeting grenades/rockets * Supply Crates that don't move and have no loot (due to no items generated) no longer appear on primitive servers, etc * Fixed a bug where getting picked-up while climbing a ladder would teleport you when dropped * Fixed Preverving Bin bug with consuming items and not giving you jerky * Super ARK Server Management Tool! manage all your mods visually, install new mods and total conversions, update mods, manage all server settings visually, connect to RCON, and soon enough do this all remotely!http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/10/530649887208240167/ v196.2 * Fixed client-side crash with Flare projectiles v196.1 * Flare projectiles now disappear properly on clients * PvE servers that allow cave building will no longer lose cave structures upon restart * "5555" Taming Speed Multiplier in "Host Game" menu is fixed v196.0 * Added "Re-Fertilizer" item craftable at the Compost Bin which can be used over ground to re-grow depleted foliage over time even if it's close to structures (avoids the structure distance check, though wont' regrow if it's stuck 'within' a structure). EngramEntry_MiracleGro_C * Added adjustable "Tethering" distance for non-dedicated multiplayer sessions (maximum distance from Host player), adjustable in the Host UI * Alpha predators damage vs Stone structures reduced by 80% * Alpha predators now tend to only appear inland / in mountainous regions * Alpha predators natural targeting range reduced by 40%, easier to deliberately avoid or escape from. * Alpha predators now ALWAYS Survivor drop inventories when killed. (i.e. Carno and Rex) * Added option to disable specific Alpha predators ("NPC Replacements") on custom servers. This can also be used to disable any specific NPC, or replace the spawns of a particular NPC with that of a different NPC. \Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRaptor_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Dodo_Character_BP_C") NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="MegaRex_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="") * Custom servers can now specify "ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures" & "ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers" multipliers, if they wish to allow resources to regrow closer or farther away from players & structures. \Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers=1 ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=1 * Auto Turrets now target & shoot down enemy grenades AND rockets -- ooo yeah (and any bullet weapon can shoot grenades & rockets to explode them now * Replacing Structures doesn't do obstruction checks anymore (no more failures to replace) * PvP servers have an optional +1 minute additonal respawn that doubles each time if you are killed by a team within 5 minutes of your previous death to that team (timer indicated on Spawn UI). Is enabled in pvp by default, and on all the official pvp servers. Helps prevent PvO ammo-wasting of auto turrets by repeatedly throwing sacrificial players at them. \Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] bIncreasePvPRespawnInterval = true; IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalCheckPeriod=300; IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalMultiplier=2; IncreasePvPRespawnIntervalBaseAmount=60; * Only melee damage onto spikewalls causes return-damage now (i.e. shooting spikewall with rocket launcher won't hurt you anymore) * Spectators are no longer booted after idle period, and enabling spectator after death now clears death postprocess effects, and spectating after death gets proper view-location networking now * Alpha Predator buffs are now cleared upon Alpha Predator death * Added admin command to force-join a tribe by looking at anything the tribe owns, and force-promote yourself in a tribe, and take over founder role of a tribe cheat ForcePlayerToJoinTargetTribe PlayerID (0 for you) (that will put you/playerID into the tribe of whatever you're pointing at, if it's a tribe structure/character) cheat MakeTribeAdmin cheat MakeTribeFounder cheat RemoveTribeAdmin * Improved server perf, and fixed some server crash cases * Admin-Only-Access doors (and their doorframes) can no longer be demolished or Replaced by non-Admin tribe members regardless of Governance settings * Server INI's option to switch from PvE to PvP mode at pre-specified in-game times OR a pre-specified real-world (server-side) times! \Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] bAutoPvETimer=true bAutoPvEUseSystemTime=true or false AutoPvEStartTimeSeconds=0 to 86400 AutoPvEStopTimeSeconds=0 to 86400 if you don't usesystemtime, it'll use the in-game world time otherwise it'll use the computer's time. you can make start time > or < than stop time, dpeending n what you want to do for example, pve starttime of 2:00 and stoptime 23:00 (convereted into seconds of course) would have pve exist from 2am to 11pm whereas pve starttime of 23:00 and stoptime of 2:00 would have pve exist only from 11pm to 2am (and thusly, pvp from 2am to 11pm) also if you have bAutoPveTimer set to true, you can see the current in the Player hud with H it'll say it next to the current time. v195.2 Server-side Only Hotfix: * You can no longer upload or download Forcetamed creatures via ARK Tribute (Obelisks) that are not actually Tame-able. (i.e. Alpha predators) * Admin Forcetamed creatures that are not actually Tame-able are automatically destroyed upon map reloading. (i.e. Alpha predators) v195.1 Unversioned Client Hotfix: Spawn BG music no longer erroneously plays forever when fast-travelling. * Alpha predators no longer damage metal structures, only stone structures as intended. * Can no longer pick up Alpha Raptors using flyers. * Alpha predators now consume corpses properly. * Alpha predators attacks no longer damage riders directly. (now is consistent with regular dino attacks) v195.0 * Fixed the networking of new-character configuration to the server. Alas this required a new Major version update as it is a networking signature change :-P Note: You will need to re-search for your Favorite/My Survivors Official Servers once! (the IP addresses have changed due to Server Relocation) v194.0 * Moving most servers to new faster host! Better official server framerates, woot! * Activating the Flare Gun when riding a Dino will now automatically shoot the Flare upwards * Your selected Survivor Spawn Region is now remembered when reconnecting your client * Server Admins can now disable Taming on a per-Dino basis via their config * PvE server admins can now enable building in Caves via their config * Gendered Tamed Dinos will only drop Eggs if Mate-Boosted now, and only Female Dinos lay eggs now * Alpha predators now give 4x the regular amount of resources and nothing but prime meat! * Added Alpha versions of Carnotaurus and Utahraptor -- they buff less than the Alpha Rex, however. * Fix for one last case of possibly erroneously entering Spectator mode * Picking up your own Tamed Dinos' eggs no longer aggros Wild Dinos of that species * Titanboa now has damage overlay * Sarco tail has proper IK again * Barricades (Metal and Wooden) can now be painted * You can now eat/drink when caught in a Bear Trap * Can no longer ride a dino that is snared in a Bear Trap... gotta free it first. * You can no longer mount a dino if you're snared in a Bear Trap * Harvested resources now properly respawn in singleplayer/non-dedicated host! * Alpha Dinos now damage stone structures New Server's "GameUserSettings.ini" values: //to allow building in caves [ServerSettings] AllowCaveBuildingPvE=true or ?AllowCaveBuildingPvE=true And in Server's "Game.ini", to prevent Taming of specific Dino's: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] PreventDinoTameClassNames="Argent_Character_BP_C" PreventDinoTameClassNames="Ptero_Character_BP_C" //etc etc -- all dino classnames are in the ARK Dev Kit, maybe someone can put them on the ARK Wiki v193.1 * Fixed an issue where clients might sometimes not get the Spawn menu if dying very soon after connecting to an online session. Servers do not need to update to get this fix, is purely a client-side change. v193.0 * SERVER LAG ("MEGA STALLS") FIX!! * New Items: Small and Large Bear Traps, for locking players and dinos in their tracks! * New Structure: Stone Behemoth Gate * New rare "Alpha" T-Rex can be found that is bigger and meaner than the regular T-Rex with distinct color schema, gives a unique cosmetic (and a ton of XP and resources) if you defeat it. It also buffs the resistance and damage of nearby carnis around it due to its Alpha-pack dominating status. You can't tame it... yet... but we'd like feedback on whether the community would be interested in more of this direction. * Tamed Dinos now lay Eggs over time without having to leave them alone i.e. they now do it in real-time and you can watch them... o_O * New Door option: "Admin-Only access", which can be combined with PIN coding and Locking. Allows only Admins free access to the door in Tribe-shared environments, everyone else in the Tribe has to either enter PIN code or be locked-out. We recommend combining this with the new "Admin-Only Demolish" Governance option for Shared Structures, otherwise Tribe Members can just Demolish their way into your secret Admin Rooms anyway * Admins can now "Demote" other admins from within the Tribe Manager (you can not Demote the Founder, so he/she is the ultimate arbiter of justice!). Please use this power wisely! * You can no longer damage Tamed dinos thru Walls/Structures (prevents cheaping out people's dinos from outside their bases) * Fixed bug where clients sometimes couldn't see the equipped items/saddles on characters * Aquatic dinos swimming against water surface is now perfectly smooth, doesn't result in a hard-stop of your character anymore. * Added the rest of the Dino Damage overlays * Dealt with the Trilobites' resources: they now clamp resource harvest amounts (no overdamage.. we need to ween off that ;), they only yield pearls and oil rarely, and they are significantly less common in the shallows. * Misc Spectator mode improvements (alphabetical player list, no longer considered "idle" for kicking, fixed sometimes getting into spectator mode when not desired, etc) * Canteens are no longer consumed when making soups * New Tribe Governance Option for Structures: Tribe Owned, Admin-Only Demolish * You can now properly enter spectator mode after dying without getting stuck at a black screen * More dino blood overlays, & option to disable Dino blood overlays * Stone harvesting settings are back at +75%. An underlying change with the harvesting system had inadvertently affected them, thanks for the reports * Fixed various server crashes * ARK Tribute (Obelisk) Item Transfer disabled on Official Servers for now, was unbalancing to PvP, needs further design work. * Dedicated servers can now optionally load custom maps via ModID diectly , rather than having to specify the map name directly, using this syntax: ShooterGameServer.exe -MapModID=485317707?GameModIds=487516323,487516324,487516325 (where the MapModID is the Steam Workshop FileID of your custom map, and the GameModIds are the Id's of the stacked mods you wish to use, in order) NEW ENGRAMS FOR YOUR CUSTOM SERVER GAME.INI's: EngramEntry_StoneGateway_Large EngramEntry_StoneGateLarge EngramEntry_BearTrap_Large EngramEntry_BearTrap v192.0 * Fixed Function and Middle Mouse Wheel keybindings work again * Sickle now yields 3x the amount of Fiber it was previously harvesting per stroke. * Various Spectator Camera and control improvements * Canteen can now be properly filled up at a Water Tap. * Primitive Servers now have the missing engrams: Feeding Trough and Sickle * Lots more Dino Damage overlays (almost all of them), and now properly dissolves away * Fixed a bug that was causing hitchy startup/loading on Mac/Linux and memory spikes on some dedicated servers * Reduced aggressive immediate dino repopulation to avoid server lag spikes * Players should not randomly become spectators anymore v191.0 ARK Items and Engrams Indices v191: http://imgur.com/HMIigNT,ACuXtwT#0 v191.1 Hotfix: Windows controller support (Xbox 360 controller etc) works properly again. * New Creature: Trilobite, your new favorite renewable source of Chitin, Silica, and Oil * New Metal Sickle weapon for harvesting Fiber from seed-plants * New Modern Polymer Canteen Item stores up to 300 water and uses 100 per sip. (and is lighter than jars) * Max Number of Tamed Dinos on the ARK is now server-customizable value, and bumped up the default by 1000. To adjust this, use the ?MaxTamedDinos=4000 commandline argument, or add MaxTamedDinos=4000 to your ServerSettings in your GameUserSettings.ini! * Improved loading speed, RAM usage, and streaming performance * Redone painting UI to allow switching colors and re-dying brushes from directly within the painting UI * Water Jars can now be used twice, with 100 water restored per sip * Fixed exploit that could push characters through walls in edge case * PvE can no longer add or demolish transponders on non-ally Tamed Dinos or Players. * Lots more Admin UI functionality and commands, you'll find them listed on the updated Admin UI * Smoother multiplayer character interpolation, jitters eliminated * Mac Gamepad input fixes. You can get a "driver" for Xbox 360 gamepad on Mac OS here: https://github.com/d235j/360Controller/releases/tag/v0.14-unofficial * Compound Bow has 5x more effective durability, less camera shake when pulled * Admin Spectator camera (and an extra password you can use for anyone to access spectator mode) + spectator-controls UI To use the admin spectator, any admin can just use: cheat enablespectator stopspectating will always take you out of spectator. Note that being a Spectator destroys your own player character, you will respawn when leaving spectator mode. To use non-admin spectator, the server must specify a spectator password like so in the GameUserSettings.ini: [ServerSettings] SpectatorPassword=mypassword or via commandline ?SpectatorPassword=mypassword Then any client can use this console command: requestspectator mypassword and stopspectating Note that the game will remember your spectating state even after you restore save data and/or reconnect, so that you can permanently stay in spectator mode on a server if you wish. Some spectator controls: Ctrl-M: Toggle floating player huds for the entire map (helpful to spot where everyone is) Ctrl-P: Toggle Only Show Nearby Floating Huds Ctrl-N to display a list of players to jump to Left click to attach to the player in front of you Left Click and Right Click to cycle attached player Spacebar to detach Shift to Fly Fast Ctrl to Fly Slow Mousewheel to adjust fly speed Shift + f1-f10 to save camera positions, and f1-f10 to teleport to them v190.0 v190.01 Hotfix: Linux now has full gamepad support for standard gamepads and Steam Controller. Mac has mostly working gamepad support, but can benefit from some buttons being remapped. You can get a "driver" for Xbox 360 gamepad on Mac OS here:https://github.com/d235j/360Controller/releases/tag/v0.14-unofficial Unversioned Hotfix: Linux Dedicated server "player respawn/fast-travel" crash fixed * Increased Max Player level to 74, and Max Dino level to 50 * Added new music to character creation UI * Fixed some missing FPV melee animation hit notifications, fixed damage type on slingshot melee (was applying too much torpor) * Raised minimum wooden bow damage for shortest-pulled arrows to 50%, up from 25% * Added Dino Hurt-Damage Blood overlay (various dinos get bloodier as they take more damage to help visually indicate their health) * Tribes have a new governance option as to whether only Admins can Unclaim Tribe Dinos * Tribe name uniqueness on a server is now enforced (going forwards) * +75% stone harvesting from stone sources * Compound Bow & Armor-and-Hide Piercing Metal Arrows * Linux Controller Support (Mac coming soon!): for your Steam Controllers! What's that you say? You don't have a Steam Controller yet?! Oh ok, it'll also work with regular controllers * Increase to 4.0 Difficulty on Official Server Network (and increase of difficulty cap to 4.0) * Fixed Dinos (Scorp, Anky, etc) getting stuck on Server when swimming and attacking (rubber banding) * Finally bonus items on respawn * Fixed some minor exploits * Added Mate-Boosted icon * Stackable Mod support! This allows multiple mods to be used together and combine their changes -- works with existing mods too! and you can use Mods on custom maps now. To Use Stackable Mods from the in-game menu, simply goto the "Host Game" menu and then select a map, and a list of mods to stack. The top mod will take priority (i.e. is most likely to fully work), and any secondary mods will attempt to add items and other overrides, they may or may not work depending on what those mods actually do (most mods that add items will work as secondary mods... whereas you'll likely want to use any major rebalancing mod as your "base" mod :). We'll continue to add more functionality for what Stacked Mods can do, so stay tuned! To specify stacked mods for dedicated server commandline, you first need to manually install the Mods by copying over the Mod files, then specify Steam Published File ID's in your Server's GameUserSettings.ini like so (and just load the map via commandline): ActiveMods=487516323,485734065 Or use a Commandline to launch it like this: ShooterGameServer.exe /Game/Mods/485317707/halo?listen?GameModIds=222SomeMod222,333Shield333 (the left-most ID is the top mod) (where "halo", for example, is the map included with Mod: The Silent Cartographer Also one neato thing: the clients don't need to have ANY of the mods installed when they connect to the server. They'll actually dynamically automatically download them all, one-by-one, install them, and then finishing connecting! * ARK Dev Kit: Better mod features to add engrams to structures and remap items v189.1 * Fixed Meganeura (Dragonfly) Dossier Icon * Eliminated Non-Dedicated Session Passwords. They're not properly supported by Steam, so instead we've added an option for "Private" sessions, which don't appear on the public Session List, and your friends can simply join those directly via the Steam Overlay (Invite or "Join Game"). * Fixed a crash when loading certain Mods * Fixed Mac/Linux clients to not attempt reinstalling Mods over again upon each launch. v189.0 * New Creature: Meganeura (Dragonfly) * New Structure: Dino Feeding Trough! * More loading speed improvements: 60%+ on the maps and in-game streaming speed (this involved reformatting how much of the game-content data was packed, hence the ~2GB update!) * Server Admins now have a command "ServerChatToPlayer" to send direct chat messages to playername, rather than steamid (use "ServerChatTo" to send to steamid) * Custom servers INI can now scale globally the spoiling times of perishables, as well as scale the global decomposition time of items and bodies on the ground, respectively. Set these to larger than 0 values, in your server's Game.ini : [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] GlobalSpoilingTimeMultiplier=0 GlobalItemDecompositionTimeMultiplier=0 GlobalCorpseDecompositionTimeMultiplier=0 * Custom servers INI can now scale on a per-resource type basis the amount of resources harvested. In your server's Game.ini, for example: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Thatch_C",Multiplier=2.0) HarvestResourceItemAmountClassMultipliers=(ClassName="PrimalItemResource_Stone_C",Multiplier=4.0) * Custom servers INI can now override the Max XP cap of players & dino characters, respectively. Set these to larger than 0 values, in your server's Game.ini : [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] OverrideMaxExperiencePointsPlayer=0 OverrideMaxExperiencePointsDino=0 * Bonus Items are now properly given upon respawn again (a bug was causing them to only be given when you examined an Obelisk Terminal Inventory). Edit: Ah nope, still requires accessing an Obelisk Terminal to get those bonus items. Will fix properly shortly! * Fixed a bug with the Flying Titanomyrma that was causing them to be very difficult to hit * Linux Dedi Server should now be able to load Mods without crashing * Dimorphodons don't lay Pteranodon eggs anymore * Non-Dedi Multiplayer Sessions always has player list visible in Pause menu * Non-Dedi Multiplayer Sessions always displays Player Join & Leave messages * Turret now uses correct weak-metal structure damgetype (was using wood structure type by accident) v188.22 * You can now properly see the Non-Dedicated Multiplayer Sessions within the "Non-Dedicated Multiplayer Session" filter type * Non-Dedicated Multiplayer Session Hosts no longer require opening ports! It now uses automatic Steam NAT Traversal! Note that you will not be able to see Non-Dedicated Multiplayer Sessions from prior to v188.21, so please update to this version if you want to play a Non-Dedicated Multiplayer Session with your friends. v188.2 * Dinos that are pushed into world geomtry (moved inside stones etc) are now killed after a period of time. Don't try to hide dinos there, it's not legit * Removed the unnecessary word "Quantity" from the "Craft All" button * Transponders no longer disappear if your body is destroyed and you have a loot bag so that u can find your bag -- they then attach to your loot bag. (if that's destroyed, however, then bye bye transponder) * "Stay All" Whistle ("U" by default) now only affects things following YOU or the Dino that you're riding. (so if you have a team with other dinos following other team members, it won't stop those other dinos) * Defaulted the loading speed improvements, shipped the prebuilt load cache, and made it used by default. Loading & streaming speed gains of 70-80% on PrimalGameData... still have to do the maps though * Turrets require power again * Fixed turret shooting logic bug that was causing incorrect turret fire rate (or was causing them to not fire at all), and fixed aiming logic to not fire if it doesn't have a clean shot -- turrets should be pretty badass killing machines now, shouldn't have any direct exploits remaining. v188.1 * Reduced Ant (Titanomyrma) aggro radius by 30% * Turrets no longer will target you through corpses, and they no longer have any friendly fire * Repairing structures now only takes half as much resources as before (as further incentive to Repair rather than Replace). * Crop plots can now be placed on very uneven ground * Phiomia can now poop * Mate-boosted Tamed Dinos now have 2x chance of producing eggs * Eliminated remaining server-side memory leak * ~70% faster loading speed option. Choose "Experiment Fast Load Cache" launch option (use add "-usecache" to your launch commandline manually). After the first & second times that you start the game & load will be still be slow, but the third time onwards will be fast. This is testing a new caching method. If it works well, will then ship with the prebuilt cached files so that it'll always be fast even first-time, and we'll do this for all the maps as well. * Non-Dedicated Host Session: for small groups to play cooperatively -- you use singleplayer saves with this mode, seamlessly! If you're looking to join such a session, you'll find these sessions listed in the "Non-Dedicated Session" filter type on the Session List UI. Or join using your Friends list, or the LAN list, if it's a LAN game. Note that Non-Dedicated Hosting uses your SINGLEPLAYER saved world/character, so you can seamlessly switch between Hosting and playing Singleplayer . Also, everyone but the Host is restricted to playing within a ~200 meter radius around the Host (it's primarily for Coop-only play). For the time being, this is necessary to preserve Host performance & system memory. * Placeable Structures (boxes, beds, signs, etc) will no longer be destroyed when replacing the underlying structure beneath them. Note this will only work properly on NEWLY placed objects (newly placed boxes, beds, signs, etc). Objects placed before v188.1 will still be destroyed when the underlying structure is replaced. * Vaults once again properly drop if the floor underneath them is destroyed * Fortitude stat now has 1.5x the insulating effect as previously * Cooked Prime Meat will no longer be eaten before Raw Meat by Tamed Dinos * There is now a repair-cost tooltip when you hover over the "Repair Structure" option, indicating the material cost to fully repair the structure * Added Tribe Name to Death Recap (so that u can know what Tribe to seek unholy revengeance upon) * Fixed an issue in singleplayer games where you could remain sleeping forever! (sleeping beauty) * PvP Cave damage multiplier (default 6x) now functions in underwater caves as well v188.0 Note: For ARK Server Admins, v188 will upon first launch overwrite your server's "ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\LinuxOrWindowsServer\GameUserSettings.ini". This was an unintended side effect of modifying the Default INI that it derives from, but sadly we can't revert the change. So you can restore your server's previous GameUserSettings INI values after updating if you wish. We'll make sure that this INI overwrite doesn't happen again, however. Thank you very much ARK Server admins! * New Structure: "Single Panel Flag" which is a simple flag that has one solid panel canvas, handy for custom painting onto. * Massive performance improvement to structural integrity calculation (namely, less lag/stalls on the server when destroying/replacing pieces of large connected structures) * Bronto now likes a certain Kibble * Eggs are about 50% more common to find * Eggs now last for 30 min on ground (prev was 20 min) * Ant (Titanomyrma) will not follow you into Water anymore. Land insects don't like water * Fixed a bug with structure limits (PhysX overlap limit was being exceeded), and reset the default value to 6000 (should cover even the biggest current bases that we've seen on Official Servers). The new configurable/commandline value is: NewMaxStructuresInRange=6000 * Swimming backwards on a dino no longer desyncs with the server * Tamed Scorp shouldn't drown anymore. In fact various tamed dinos that were not swimming to the surface should now try to stay on the surface when not being ridden. * Fixed pop-in of underwater cave meshes * Per-Pixel Sign painting, with real-time multiplayer simultaneous painting: please don't draw offensive things! <3 Like so: Luv u Garry! <3 * Electronic Animal Trackers: track your dinos, track wild dinos, track enemy dinos (or players), put on one yourself and don't lose your corpse!! <ShamWow!> * Throwable Torches v187.22 * Uploading/Downloading Items to ARK Tribute Inventory now works in singleplayer v187.21 * Tribe/Player names with emoji strings in them will no longer cause parsing-spam in the chat text * Splitting/Merging stacks of items within your Inventory no longer causes "Removed/Added" Item notifications v187.2 * Turrets random aim spread reduced by 85% * Turrets will no longer target carried/dragged characters if they're being carried/dragged by your team * Ants (Titanomyrma) damage reduced by 25% and health reduced by 35%/40% (soldier/drone) * Fixed a bug where Inventory Bags dropped by destroyed structures had infinite life (now have 15 minute timeout) * Improved look of Grill and Stone structures slightly (not finished) v187.1 * Fixed a rare server-side Inventory crash v187.0 Note: for custom Primitive Servers, there is a new Game.ini here:http://pastebin.com/cA9rMxz2 Also going forward have changed the format to be future-proofed and will post a future-proofed INI later, and this will be the last time the Game.ini has to be updated * Titanomyrmas: designed to ruin your sunday picnics! * Dimorphodons: designed to harass other dino riders! * Crossbow: use underwater to ping sharks from a distance! * Machined Shotgun: less powerful than primtiive, but more shots before reload and tighter spread! * Redesigned the look of the Stone Tier to look much nicer * Double the number of dyes. You want Pink? You got Pink! * You can no longer level up sleeping allies (so mean) * Approximate +25% Dedicated Server performance gain... PHYSX rewrite!!!!! >:-P -- and nice client performance gain in dense cities as well! * Keypads now work in densely packed bases (was a "too-many-overlaps" issue) * Fix for Server memory leak * Fixed case of "invisible until you move" Structures on Client * Fixed losing Oxygen when swimming at water surface * You can unwire and rewrire placed traps -- while leaving them placed and remembering what they were wired to -- making it easier to leave your own base after setting traps up (we don't want to make traps completely ignore you when wired, however, to avoid the incentive to turn your base into a zone of infinite numbers of traps) * Scorpions/Carrion eaters will now prefer to eat spoiled meat rather than raw meat after being Tamed * The massive spam of "item removed etc" notification texts when viewing a dino's inventory is now fixed * Stimberry consumption now reduces Food on Tamed dinos * You can no longer build for 30 seconds in the immediate damage radius where a structure has been destroyed by an enemy team (helps sieges play out more naturally) * There's now an "attack that" whistle which will send all dinos in a nearby radius to attack the specific target you're pointing at -- this works very nicely with the Spyglass * In PvP, structures within caves/cave-entrances now take 6x damage (server modifiable setting) (steamapps\common\ARK\Projects\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\Game.ini) PvPZoneStructureDamageMultiplier=6.0 * Auto Turrets track about 3x as fast, to be more effective * Only Female Dinos lay eggs now -- it had to happen * Fixed Saber gender bits -- heh, "fixed" * Industrial Grill now consumes gas properly, and has more-final model * You can now drink by pressing E when just standing in water, if there's nothing else to activate. You don't have to be immersed anymore. * You can now light standing torches in shallow water * The approximate area of Spawn regions are now indicated when select a character spawn region * Increased max tripwire connection distance by 50% * Completely revamped stone structure visuals, for the better * Custom servers can now specify whether they want downloadable individually: characters, items, dinos ?PreventDownloadSurvivors=false?PreventDownloadItems=false?PreventDownloadDinos=false * Grenade damage is reduced by 33% generally and an additional 33% vs dinos (so about -45% in total vs dinos) * New Game.ini options: [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode] bOnlyAllowSpecifiedEngrams=true/false Defaults false. If true, any Engram not explicitly specified in the EngramsOverride list will be Hidden. Useful for maintaining primitive servers even as we add new Engrams in Updates. Also: OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_AlarmTrap_C",EngramHidden=true,EngramPointsCost=3,EngramLevelRequirement=2,RemoveEngramPreReq=false) For example. Lets you specify an Engram by classname so that it's guaranteed to work even if Engram indices change in the future -- is guaranteed to be permanent. You can get all the classnames from the ARK Dev Kit. v186.3 * Fixed a server-side Inventory crash -- thank you for the help, players of Official PvE 36! v186.2 * Fixed an issue with server auto-save/auto-backup periods greater than 60 minutes, phew * After being successfully Tamed, Tamed Dinos will now bias towards consuming the least-nutritious food in their inventory (that is still edible by them). Thus for example a carnivore will eat all inferior Raw Meats before eating Prime Meat within its Inventory, making it more viable to store high quality food on your Dinos over lengthier periods of time for the long haul. * Put all meats taming speeds/values exactly where they originally were. Made Kibbles 40% faster for Taming than Raw Meat ever was, and it's got SUPER AFFINITY (if you use the right kind of Kibble for your Dino -- for example Raw Prime Meat may net you a 70% effective tame now, whereas using the right Kibble can get you close to 100%!). May continue to buff Kibble, but let's take it one step at a time with seeing how useful it is now * Fixed an issue replicating network data on Structures (Sign strings, etc) * Fixed a general issue placing structures (mortar and pestle, crop plot, etc) * Metal Water Tank is now buildable again ;-P * Fixed a client connection Timeout case * Fixed edge case where players weren't quite recovering enough Oxygen when popping head above water at lower server FPS v186.1 * You can place the Preserving Bin again * Allied Dinos are now immune to your Gas Traps * Made Eggs about 200% more likely to be found, and they now last for 8 days in regular inventory, rather than 2 -- store them in a Fridge to keep them nearly forever * Rebalanced some taming speeds: Raw Prime Meat is 70% as fast as it was originally, and appropriate Kibble is now as fast as Raw Prime Meat originally was. (non-Prime meats are the same speed as originally, as is the non-nutritious Cooked Prime Meat) * Fixed a server inventory-related crash with the Multi-Grill * Disallowed engrams/items are now automatically destroyed on primitive servers (or any server which uses a custom item list), retroactively. Primitive Servers online again. * Updated & posted new Server Game.ini for Primitive Servers to correspond to new Engram layout. In the future, we will change this to name-based list rather than indexed list, so it will not become outdated again. v186.0 * Missed This: Raw Prime Meat is now 1/3rd as fast as it was previously to tame (it's equivalent to Raw Meat) -- but same Affinity. Kibble is 1/2 as fast as Raw Prime Meat was previously to tame. We will be adjusting these back to more-or-less their previous speeds in our next major Update. * Fixed the Enchanted Lake Of Wonders... well, the lake that was missing water physics, more specifically * You can now equip the Spyglass while riding on a dino. Note that doing so will always zoom-in with it (since we don't want to steal the Right Mouse Button input); simply unequip it to stop zooming. * Hopeful fix for players/dinos after load falling thru floors * Server Hosts can now configure per-DinoClass Wild & Tamed Health and Damage Multipliers in their INI (nerf those flyers in Primitive!), and these apply dynamically. * Fixed water tank water not saving properly * Fixed tamed dino level bonuses not holding when taming across save games, and speed getting messed up, and Auto XP not applying * Fixed an infinite-oxygen-underwater exploit. * Fixed a case where by swimming at a certain angle you could almost completely avoid losing stamina * Attacking when in water while riding no longer causes a movement de-sync * Fixed amphibious stamina recovery while in water, now it's very fast as intended. * Dino Stats are now retained properly when uploading/downloading across maps * Fixed a bug where Wild Dinos were not naturally recovering their Torpor over time * Max Level increased by 4 for Players and Dinos * Configurable Low/Medium/Far Targeting & Wander Range for Pets * Omni Electric Lamp * Reinforced Ceiling-Door and Reinforced Window-Door * Industrial Multi-Grill! * Two new tripwire traps:audio alarm and gas bomb! * Audio-Alarm Away & Offline raiding notifications, Phase 1! * Eggs for all animals and circle-of-life 'Taming Efficiency' boosting per-dino Egg-Kibbles! * Customizable Bandwidth setting for players to choose a bandwidth appropriate to their own connection. Can further improve structure-streaming speed, if you have sufficient bandwidth to handle it as a client. (Can also eliminate any remaining DC's if you reduce it and you're on a lower bandwidth connection.) * Improved AMD Shadow flickering fix * Destroying a Behemoth Gate Frame will now also destroy the Behemoth Gate within it * Current Day # & Time is now displayed on the Spawn/Character Creation UI ARK Dev Kit Changes: * Mods can now add engrams and items without having to override the Master Item List or the Engram List -- they can simply Add Engrams using the "Additional Engrams" array, can also remap existing Engrams to new classes using the "Remap Engrams" array, and items don't have to be in the Master Item List to be used anymore -- if they're referenced, they just will naturally get used (and consequently, existing saved items in people's save files will not get messed up anymore!) * Mods that change the player class now still get armor attached properly 185.62 185.64 Hotfix: Fixed bug where players could place floating structures is 185.63 Hotfix: AutoSavePeriodMinutes works again, thanks for the report * Increased timeout on clients to reduce DC's from server * Fixed an issue with server saving that could cause mass DC's * Made client movement on structures much better in sync with the server (requires server update), and fixed wrong-rotation of characters when walking on certain structures * Fixed duplicate lines of chat returned in RCON "getchat" command 185.5 Unversioned Hotfix: Fixed a Client startup crash, Fixed LinusServer startup crash - Official Servers Upgraded to Difficulty 3.0 - About +30% server performance gain - Fixed the fix: Max height of structures above the ground is now 25,000 units. Previously was 15,000 units. Thank you 185.4 - Approximate 10% Dedicated Server Performance gain - Approximate 80% faster savegame load speed :-D - Fix for AMD GPU shadow flickering (partial... can still flicker but far less frequently. full fix is coming this weekend) - Eliminated issue where large amounts of structures could cause client disconnection or bandwidth starvation (mega lag) - Reduced client hitching around large structures - Improved client physx performance onto large structures - Mods will now load properly on clients launched with commandlines (such as -nomansky) - Mods will now download dynamically upon connection even if you connect to a server directly thru the Steam Client - Fixed some more Admin UI crashes - Chat can now be retrieved in RCON -- you just have to use the RCON command "getchat" to return the latest chat buffer. You can use the "serverchat blah blah" or "broadcast blah blah" commands to send chat/popup messages out via RCON. - Max height of structures above the ground is now 25,000 units. Previously was 15,000 units. Thank you http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/530646715642581647/ 185.3 * Fixed various mods crashing -- any which used custom Materials, such as Apako Island. * Improved speed of background loading core game data while at main menu * Fixed a Chatbox crash * Eliminated some Snapshot_16 "permanent" hangs if banned or missing communication from server during connection * Server Passwords now appear as Asteriks' in Admin Managment UI (soon you'll be able to change this dynamically via the UI), and "message-of-the-day changing in the UI" crash is fixed 185.2 Server-side vaults that are lowered due to destroyed foundations now retain their pin-code/lock settings. 185.1 Fixed C4 ammo problem. We recommend server admins upgrade their servers to v185.1 as soon as possible. Very sorry about that! 185.0 Unversioned Hotfix: Servers will no longer crash if admins use the "Refresh" button on the Server Admin UI. Note: You can now run Primitive Server using a "Mod" rather than an INI change. Details here. Now updated to work with ARK v188 (and fixed ;)! Using a new system, it will permanently work evermore for future ARK updates Install and run this mod to play on the ARK Island with only primitive-tier technology! Expect more Mods soon, from us and user Mod creators! Unversioned Hotfix: Fixed a client-side Foliage crash * RCON for Server Admins add these to your server commandline ?RCONEnabled=True?RCONPort=32330?ServerAdminPassword=123 (only need to specify a server admin password if you're not already doing so) Then you can run any console commands that you see in the in-game ShowMyAdminManager, some useful ones include for example: listplayers banplayer PlayerName unbanplayer PlayerName exit broadcast messageWhateverItIs Note we don't currently send all chat back out through RCON, but we should so you can expect that shortly. * Server Administration UI: To use this, use the console commands in-game: enablecheats AdminPassword then ShowMyAdminManager In there you'll see all of the server settings, stats, connected players, whitelist and ban list management, message of the day, and all of the executable console commands that you can run through the GUI (which are also runnable via RCON so it's a good way to learn the RCON commands!). * Removed caps for Play Local menu: you can now enter any values you like into the various options' text fields and they'll be saved/used properly. * Doubled the # of inventory slots in the fridge * Opening the In-Game Pause Menu in Singleplayer Mode now actually fully Pauses the game :) * Fixed collision on Stone Foundation/Ceiling so that you can properly fit through the Stone doorway in between them. * Fixed case where in-ground Pillars were not being considered "Foundations" * Air Conditioning units are 100% more powerful insulation and 100% more range * Fixed a bug with dinos that were in-taming process becoming super slow if tame process was finished after a reload * Now takes approx 3 grenades to bring down a spike wall, fixed the explosion damage multiplier on 'em to be consistent with all other metal structures * Ceiling replacement no longer becomes obstructed by objects on the ceiling * Reduced OP cat-tail foliage resource giving * ARK Dev Kit Game Data Override: Create your own survival game with total capability to override the core "gamedata" of ARK in your mod: everything can then be changed, from Engrams to Items to Character States to Dossiers. You don't even need to make a new map, you can just override all values/content on the existing ARK Island! * Mod makers can now override the minimap and spawn regions * Mods can now force the player to spawn-in rather than displaying the respawn map * Dev Kit has been updated with a "GenericMod" example that gives you a Primitive-Only ARK achieved through Modding rather than through INI -- which is way more powerful because then you can totally rebalance and change ANYTHING. 184.0 * Finally fixed the last erroneous "No Nearby Foundation" issue when trying to build walls etc. Thanks PhysX :-P * Metal Spike Walls now have correct structure damage type (weak metal rather than "wood"), and have correct scaled destruction mesh * The absolute max inventory limit of 200 items has been raised to 300, and is now respected to avoid losing items when transferring between inventories * Blueprints can no longer stack (wasn't intended to). any that are currently stacked will still be stacked, you won't lose any, but you can't re-stack them. * Players can now choose to display chat as "[CharacterName][TribeName]:Chat" (the new default) or [SteamName[CharacterName]:Chat" * Improved the look of Stone Materials underground, improved metal Materials * Added "Craft All" button that will craft-queue as many instances of a blueprint/engram as the inventory has resources for. * Minor client GPU performance improvement * 40second cooldown on bloodpack usage, 30 minute spoiling time time (in a fridge it's 100x of course) * Gates are now considered "core" structures and thus you can't build next to "enemy" gates anymore * You can, ahem, no longer pickup the Broodmother with flyers ;) 183.33 * Fixed a client-side issue with building in caves (wasn't letting clients do it in legit areas) 183.32 * Fixed a bug where some legit cave structures were getting destroyed via the new underground-exploit prevention logic (will go live on ARK Official Server Network tonight) * In PvE, Tamed Dinos will no longer attack other players' corpses/dino-corposes which they can not consume 183.31 * Fixed a client-side Crash with structure placing * Eliminated some false-positives with underground-structure exploit detection (Behemoth Gates, etc) 183.3 * You can no longer build underneath terrain except in caves, and all structures beneath terrain except in caves is automatically destroyed (Pillars are exempt from this rule). Thank you for the reports :) * Water Dinos no longer die when surfacing in underwater caves, yay! * Fixed an issue where dino attacks were not actually hitting various structure pieces to which they had valid line-of-sight. * In PvE, lit campfires no longer hurt other tribes' players/dinos. * Fixed a crash in in singleplayer mode caves * You can now properly close ceiling doors when on a ladder, just look up and press the Use key :) 183.2 * You can never beach-kill your water dinos anymore. Seriously, $200 to the first person who shows us beaching a tamed water dino on a v183.2 server (video ideally, with pause screen at some point to indicate server version -- our servers are still v183.0 :-) ) * Fixed a case where Flyers could spontaneously die and kill their rider :-P * You can now replace ceilings that have stuff placed on them without the "Obstruction" message * Fixed a slight edge case with stone walls where attacks could still get thru them * Minor client GPU perf gain 183.1 Unversioned Hotfix: Dedi servers no longer crash if admin runs the "cheat exit" command on them.

Temporary solution before v183 until this new version is to TOTALLY delete your game directory and redownload the game (the issue is due to having some extra old map files in your Maps dir that need to be cleared out). v183 will ignore these however. Mega props to Steam User "crua9" for helping us to track this down! * Fixed some collision gaps in stone tier (dinos could hit thru them, etc) * Fixed a case where you could unprone into people's bases. * Added "Independence Fireworks" Skin for Flare Gun. Find it dropped from a variety of high-level dinos, and skin your Flares with this, to light up the night sky with a blazing fireworks display. Will only drop this weekend, so better stock up! * New Primitive-Only Official Servers! Only stuff available that you might actually find in caveman-era tech, for role-playing fun. PvP, PvE, and PvP Hardcore in North America, EU, and OC. If players like this and the servers get crowded, we can add more :) Server Admins can now explicitly remove items from the Supply Crate drops, to facilitate these primitive servers (a little later will expose the full loot tables for editing) We'll be providing the INI's used to setup these servers so that players can easily host their own Primitive-Era servers as they may wish. * Emote Wheel! 10 emotes for now Male and Female, along with two Emote Hotkey bindings. * Fixed Ichthyosaurus losing taming affinity too fast and not being feedable quickly enough * Fixed issue where swimming dinos were attempting to beach themselves to eat corpses :-P * Made dinos able to properly damage structures again, in many cases a trace check was failing causing them to not do damage * Dinos can no longer push you through structures ;) * Made high level supply crates more likely to give high-level items * Improved server perf Phase 1 * Hopeful fix for dinos appearing through floors when re-entering a zone or reloading a server * Added key for "Proximity Text Chat", to say something in text chat only within a short audible range (has a unique text chat color) * Improved visual look/materials of Stone Structures * Likely fix for case where Tribe data could be lost when reloading a server * Fixed a case where "Take All From Inventory" could lose items if it would make your own Inventory greater than 2x overweight. Now it'll stop if it reaches that. 182.1 * Fixed Stone wall collisions/height protruding through bases * Added Missing Stone tier icons * Limited overdamage (overharvest) of resources to 5x the total resource health, to avoid server lag giving hundreds of berries in one hit on a plant. * Increased resolution in stone tier textures * Stone dino gate is now colorizable 182.0 **Unversioned LinuxServer crash Hotfix posted!** * Approximate additional 10% GPU perf gain on Shader Model 4 pipeline specifically (it was doing a bunch of GPU work that was not applicable to SM4) * Full Stone Structure Tier! * Major client loading speed improvements * Environment foliage rendering performance improvement * Finally fixed the remaining Tamed-Megalodon/Swimmer beaching-death case -- thank you RightHand ;) * Fixed issue with flying dinos losing Oxygen when they got "near" the water surface * Auto-Turrets damage vs dinos increased by 3x * Ichthyosaurus can now fit thru dino gates * Crop plot yields increased 50% and max # of crop items on them increased by 300% * You can now drag item stacks that will make you overweight onto your inventory -- it will now only drag the portion of the stack that can fit in your inventory, rather than not allowing the drag operation at all. * Turret aim against big dinos (i.e. Rex) is now fixed * You can no longer "respawn" in Hardcore by reconnecting to server * HarvestHealthMultiplier should finally work on your custom servers :) * Linux client: fullscreen at non-native resolutions now scales properly * Restored the previous "overdamage" of Harvestable Resources, while we work in the coming days on a new balance for per-Dino Resource Harvesting multipliers -- unofficial servers can enable the limiting optionally with "ClampResourceHarvestDamage=true" * Fixed Shark spawn percentages (may take some time to have effects on existing servers, since the increased Shark population won't immediately despawn.

More Dolphins, and far less Sharks. * Fixed Linux Server socket termination crash -- thank you to Steam user 'Beast' for tracking it down :) * Fixed mod maps not automatically downloading when connecting to a server hosting a mod 181.2 * Fixed another server crash 181.1 * Fixed bug where amphibious dinosaurs were losing stamina in water (darn Mac/Linux compiler syntax issue) * Fixed only getting 1 Engram Point for Levels 65 & 66 (this is not retroactive, but we'll be implementing a respec option soon). * Fixed a server crash * Increase absolute player Max Inventory Weight to 2x your Max Weight stat, rather than 1.2x 181.0 * Clamped how much harvesting damage you can do to a resource to the remaining health of the resource (so that, for example, chomping a tiny dilo with little resource remaining in it with a massive T-Rex bit wouldn't give you way more meat than it could reasonably have had). This may have the effect of reducing harvesting amounts in some cases, but is a necessary fix to what was essentially an overflow bug. Will consider re-scaling harvesting amounts accordingly as we proceed. (sorry we forgot this note -- a lot of code gets written every day :) * Re-enabled Official ARK Server item uploads to Steam Inventory: had disabled it due to a dupe bug which is now fixed ;) * Official Servers are now upgraded to the equivalent of "2.0" difficulty, rather than 1.0 * Added two more player and dino levels, to get more engrams for the new goodies * Shader Model 4 (DX9, DX10) mode now looks a TON better, with proper light intensities, shadows and night lighting and dynamic lighting * NEW DINO: Plesiosaurus (with custom saddle!) * NEW DINO: Ichthyosaurus (with custom saddle!) * Players are no longer allowed to carry more than 20% over their maximum Inventory Weight, as this was otherwise exploitable when standing on Dinos. * AFK kick Timer at spawn/respawn screen: server configurable, default 40 minutes * Structure Paint effect looks much better and fully covers the surfaces * Preparation for tomorrow's Mac & Linux game releases :) * Removed Weight limits on Smithy, Fabricator, and any other Structures which accidentally still had them * configurable server auto save interval * pipes/cables are no longer considered "enemy" foundations that prevent building nearby * Obelisk terminals no longer get an auto-demolish timer * Sabertooth level-up damage scaling ramp reduced by 50% * In online PvP, use of sleeping bags now triggers cooldown to all your sleeping bags nearby. * Taming with Higher Taming Affinity now increases base level of dino up to 50% if 100% effectiveness, improving its base statistics (previously wasn't doing much, was only generally increasing their damage) * Added missing mammoth dossier * Using spyglass now shows Floating HUD of Dinos, Players, or Structures that you are _directly pointing at_, for long range reconnaissance * C4 can now be placed & detonated underwater * Buff timers no longer 'appear' to reset when you relogin * Dragging a body no longer removes your FPV hands (bug required players to manually switch to weapon and then back to hands to restore their hands :-P ) * Various minor bug fixes * Nonviolent Taming method for Ichthyosaurus (will follow-up with implementation for all Herbivores soon) 180.42 * Fixed black-top-of-screen when there's heavy Fog on "Low" postprocess settings. 180.41 * Freshly-installed Singleplayers no longer have zeroed-out Local/Host gameplay settings, and added "Reset To Defaults" for Local/Host gameplay settings. 180.40 * Stone Water Tank is now crafted by hand, not at the Smithy * Fixed an issue where various animations werent' updating out of view on clients (they were pausing) * Claiming a Dino now properly sets its new Personal Owner data * Hitting stuff with the Spyglass and Flaregun (which have no durability) is now akin to punching with your Fists (8 damage per hit and hurts you slightly) * Fixed issue where pillars were sometimes not being considered "foundations".

Otherwise [E] will dismount. - Drop-All no longer drops equipped items (dino saddles etc) 175.0: Note about fall damage: non-ridden, tamed dinos do not take fall damage. - Dino inventories now have limited slots (this was always intended, the value was just inputted incorrectly prior to now ;) - Argentavis can now also pickup characters, with a higher weight limit than Pteranodon - Nerdry Glasses and Rex Bone Helm are now paintable - Fixed bug where Tribe data could be lost or corrupted, and bug where players who left Tribe would still be considered as "in" the Tribe. - Majorly reduced stalls when streaming in new area zones - Added a radial "Whistle Wheel" that you can use to choose from among the many whistles now available. Access it optionally by briefly holding the "Whistle 'You Follow'" key! - Only female creatures can lay eggs now. I know, this makes me sad but it had to happen ;( - Added volume slider for voice chat - Eliminated delays upon Dino AI finding new targets, make the AI's snappier and more lifelike. Also made tamed Dinos cancel their current movement whenever they are given a new order/AI-state, making them more pro-active. - You can now open gates with the [E] / Use key when riding a Dino, without having to dismount - Tribe Governance Options. Tribe Manager now has "Government" options which can (currently) only be set upon creation of the Tribe. When you are invited to a Tribe, you can now view the Tribe's governance options in the Activation menu before deciding whether to join. If you wish to change this afterwards, Merge the Tribe into a new Tribe. - Server startup time dramatically reduced. - More efficient RAM usage of the TheIsland zones streaming - Improved perf on GPU particles - Dinos now take fall damage properly - Better dino following logic, and fixed a bug where following dinos weren't sprinting like they should have been - Oxygen Enhancing stew is now twice as powerful - Rockets now have gravity and drop over time, no more infinite range rocket shots - Crops now grow at 2x speed - High-level surface supply crates now only give blueprints, was too OP for them to give fully-crafted items - Piranhas now spawn in larget groups - Megalodons can't beach anymore - Fixed a server-side PhysX crash - New: Craftable Headlamp item - You can now access patch notes from within the game :) - Environmental Resources now replenish twice as quickly and less range required away from human structures - You can now 'Drop All Items' from remote inventories, which drops them onto the floor - You can now press 'D' when highlighting an item in Inventory to drop it, you can also press Ctrl-D-Num to instantly drop a slotbar item. Power-users!!!! - Behemoth gate can now be built on non-flat ground, and all dinos can now move through Dino Gate properly now. - Ladder Climbing can properly be activated from above in all cases now. - Added "Go Aggressive" and "Go Neutral" ranged whistle commands. "Go Neutral" also clears aggro, so is good for quickly recalling your dinos from an attack. - Flyers can now carry other dinos, as well as humans - New server browser that is more akin to Steam's server browser, allows asynchronous retrieving and filtering searching from among ALL servers, not just a handful. - In PvE you can now drag unconscious players who are logged-out. Necessary, for now, to prevent people from logging out within your base and thus permanently "occupying" your base. - You can now activate "wander" mode on tamed dinos, which will make them wander as they normally do in the Wild. Useful if you want mild hunting or just to have them feel more natural when penned-up (gotta have that Dodo farm naturalism). Coming soon: "Hunt-and-return radius" mode :) 174.31 - "EnablePvPGamma=true" server option will now work ;) - Added move-and-copy logic to saving to avoid any corruptions of save or tribe data - Fixed a stat math problem with Downloading Dinos via the Obelisks 174.3 - Gamma adjustment now disabled on PvP/Hardcore servers (by server-side default).

This is a server-side change. Also increased speed recovery for Tamed Dinos! Win-Win! 174.1 - Fixed female Saber riding anims - Low chance to get metal from ALL non-metallic rocks, albeit more commonly from smooth river-rocks. And better with picks, of course. This will not take effect on Official Servers until they are upgraded to 174.1 overnight. - Reduced explosions damage onto metal structures by 50%. This will not take effect on Official Servers until they are upgraded to 174.1 overnight. - Increased piranha turn rate. 174.0 - Raised Max Player Level to 64, providing 120 additional Engram Points - Raised Max Tamed Dino Level Additions to 38 - Fix for Flyer Stamina. - Fix for Gas Consumption Rate. 30x improvement - Armor durability rebalancing. ~3x durability - Tripled the metal content of metal and rich-metal rocks - Re-added a small chance to get metal from river-rocks. Thanks for the feedback everyone, it makes sense to provide an alternate less-intense progression path ;) - Prevented tamed dinos from drowning so easily - Changed autodestruct in PvE structures to 18 days, and made it so that rather than automatically demolishing itself, the structure then gives the option for anyone to demolish it via radial menu. - Made Smithies and other containers automatically have the necessary engrams when new engrams are added, rather than having them be rebuilt - Made it clear via description that the Food Preservation Bin requires Sparkpowder to preserve food, and that it can also create Beef Jerky. - Added Option to disable Torpor screen flash (purple flash) - Dino Knocked-Out state will now hold until the Dino's Torpor reaches 0%, previously they could exit earlier. However, their Torpor will decrease more quickly based on how much their maximum Torpor level is -- so that higher-level Dinos are naturally more difficult to keep knocked-out. - Increased effectiveness of temperature insulation by 20% - Bronto saddle can now be equipped properly :) - Non-water Dinos will now attempt to swim to the surface and not drown :) - Fixed armor insulation values & UI display (wasn't displaying hyperthermic insulation properly): cloth now adds positive hyperthermic insulation, all other armors currently add negative hyperthermic insulation but now scaled more appropriately. Swimwear coming to add more positive hyperthermic insulation! - Fixed LOD's on dino gates and other assets - Mid-size dinos (less than Rex, such as Stego etc) now properly fit thru the Dino Gate. For large-tier dinos you need still a Mega Gate, of course. - Fixed crafting table requirements on a number of items, to now display their proper crafting table in the Engram UI (i.e. now it says that a Smithy is required to craft a Spinosaurus Saddle) - Adjusted Spawn Rates: Piranhas more common on insland lakes/rivers (they were missing primarily), Carnos less common everywhere, Spinos less common everywhere - Reduced Spino overland run & walk speeds by 25% - Fixed a bad damage multiplier for explosives on Wood structures (like several times too strong :-P) 173.0 - Spinosaurus! Fear the beast! - New Structures: Spike Wall (great for defending against incoming tribe dino attacks) and Food Preservation Bin items, and Beef Jerky!!! (Sparkpowder+Oil+Cooked Meat or Cooked Prime Meat+hour wait == SUPER LONG LASTING FOOOOOD!) - General GPU optimizations plus new graphics configuration options: Mesh LOD slider, High Quality Materials checkbox (disabling this and restarting will have tremendous perf savings at the cost of less detailed terrain materials), Subsurface Scattering Checkbox (disabling this will make plants and skin material look a little less good, but also save a lot of perf) - After login you now get a message indicating how you died if your character was killed when you were logged out (needs more details added) - Pteras now land better when out of stamina, won't eject you as soon - You and dinos can attack when no stamina now, however doing so will increase your torpidity - Slight purple overlay when torpidity is increasing - Spoiling timer exploits fixed - Various ways to teleport into people's houses seemingly fixed - Grenades rebalanced, ~60% damage reduction vs structures and now also require oil to craft - PvE structures that haven't had a Tribe/Creator nearby in one week are now auto demolished. Can be disabled on player-run servers. - Structure Limit now configurable for player-run servers - Non-Tribe Flyer Carrying now an option for PvE servers - Added Rich Metal and Regular Metal Mountain Rocks - Metal Tools' durabilities fixed - Character bodytype presets - "Find Mods" button added to Host Game Menu - Rare Limited-Edition Cosmetic Item Skin drops: Nerdry's Glasses (from the bellies of Dilo's) and Rex Bone Helmet - Land dinos now lose stamina when swimming while mounted, Amphibious dinos (turtle, sarco, etc) now regain stamina much more quickly in water - Unconscious dinos being tamed no longer can be harmed by non-tribe players in PvE - Fixed bug where Generator with cables attached could not get its inventory accessed - Tribe ID's and Player ID's are now guaranteed to be unique.

Servers running the event will be bombarded with raining gifts in a hail of fireworks to mark the end of 2021. These gifts will contain a collection of your favourite skins from past events that are currently unavailable and a chibi bonanza! And by bonanza, we mean, the drop rate of Rare, Very Rare and Legendary chibis will be dialled to over 9000! Unofficial Servers can enable the event with the following commandline param: -NewYearEvent To modify the times, the following commandline parameters can also be used: ?NewYear1UTC=1640995200 ?NewYear2UTC=1641038400 You can use https://www.epochconverter.com/ to get your appropriate timestamp. Please keep in mind that this event cannot be run before Midnight EST on the 1st of January 2021, so if you wish to change your time it would have to be set after that. Some additional notes: This event can only be run ONCE on a savefile (with 2 triggers). If a server is set to run the event at a time already passed, then on load the server will immediately trigger the gifts.

Winter Wonderland will be making a triumphant return with new presents and goodies for ARK survivors. Use the server parameter -ActiveEvent=WinterWonderland to begin the event. For the duration of Winter Wonderland, we have disabled the world buffs from the Genesis Part 2 Missions on the Official Network: Baby Boon & Maewing Poach. In the past, we've adjusted for the impact this event has had on the rates by tweaking the bonuses that we use during the holidays, however those tweaks lead to unfavourable circumstances on maps that aren't Genesis Part 2, so going forward during breeding events, we'll be disabling these mission buffs specifically as not to affect the bonuses on other maps.
