It's unfortunate that in the 60 seconds it took me to create this image, you think the dev team has completely stopped all work. The team have been and still are working hard to fix all high-priority issues.

Preview 15 now available (14 never made it to the forums) http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/apps/ARKViewer_Preview15.zip or https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eX2p5QlEnkmbrq2TprNP9oKMGkB4jd9I/view?usp=sharing Bug Fixes: None Features: Added "splitter" between map and grids so that you can now resize to get more map or more detail. @Norlinri Added "tooltip" to Wyvern/Deino/Drake nests in the popup structure view to display the egg contents. @Norlinri Added "dropped items" tab to allow you to visualise and clean up any dropped eggs and such. @Rattgtg As usual please let me know if you encounter any issues or would like to suggest any features. Thanks again for your support. MirageUK

Possibly one of the greatest responses from one of the development team I've ever seen on here, well said @Chris and just know that not everyone on here is a complete and utter *word I'm not allowed to say on the forums* and understands the pressures of working in software development under tight deadlines. Keep up the good work to all of you and don't stop the communication because some impatient idiots get you down.

Yeah people will find any excuse to crap on the Devs even when they are putting their all into something.... Literally paused the Genesis train to fix meshing cause many were jaw flapping about it, so they complained about the delay. Its this Instant Gratification Generation man... they want it and they want it now and will *bad word for lady dog* about it and anything else. These kids would have died growing up in the 90's from anxiety related heart conditions due to the slow response times and limited media output for games... hell can you imagine them dealing with the wait between the two Incredibles movies?

Nice to see WildCard pushing the advertising campaign when there are players who can't even play because the last update created a blue screen issue #Priorities

Ha ha ha, incredible ! You rock !! THANK YOU ! ?

Regardless of the various bugs and issues the playerbase, GMs, various managers, and probably even dev-teams have to deal with while ARKing and getting ARK'ed, the music once again is extra-eeemly amazing. Linked for your viewing pleasure is the Behind-the-scenes with the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Man Himself, Gareth Coker. If you haven't seen it, definitely worth watching!

Thank you MirageUK, your tool becomes more and more amazing after each release ! My friends and I use it every day. I would have one little suggestion, but of very low priority, so feel free to reject it of course. In Larkator, I was able to filter the levels of the dinos displayed on the map, for example to display only dinos between levels 135 and 150. It's useful to see at a glance where are these dinos. Like I said, your program is already awesome as is. Thank you !

@MirageUK love this program, thank you for all your hard work. This thing is making cleaning up old bases a lot easier.

@Rattgtg FYI I have managed to get the data needed for dropped items up to my UI - just need to do the new tab to display the data for you guys before I can get an update out.

I remember back when Wildcard was releasing a couple new creatures a month or more. Now they spend an entire year working on DLC's and they only put like 6 new tames into each of them

@Chris - your facepalm reaction to my post only proves the lack of good principles in your company's public relations. It also reminds me of how many times I've had this reaction with Ark code glitches and bugs. And sorry for not being a toady boy. Several thousand hours spent in Ark built my skepticism. This game gave me a lot of joy but also a lot of negative experiences that I can't be a hyped fanatical follower. But I hope that will change.

Should I check out Ark:Genesis in creative to look around and spawn the new dinos first or survival to feel the true pain of being a noob in a new world while dying by the same raptor pack every 15 minutes? I don't know what sounds better cheating a sneek peek or tramatizing nostalgia?

Chris, I love, appreciate your work and contribution to Ark, but I really don't like your words. I know you have a lot of work now, but I suggest you show a little more respect and understanding to players.. we are your clients. I think that people have the right to be salty if they wait a long time for the game, and in addition they encounter a lot of errors and faults. Get some beer or ice creams and relax

Well you see, for most people it seems like they're not pulling all the resources they could on the most prevalent issues and concerns to their players when they are using a good portion of the people they have to work on new content. Since I've never worked on coding for a video game and dealt with fixing issues like the ones we face in ark, I can't say I know what they're dealing with, but I know I would much rather have a game that works and plays smoother/better than seeing new content come out for it. Maybe there's a balance they have of people who work on bugs and people who work on new content, I know they need to always be working on new things to generate income for the company, but what good is new content to people who's enjoyment is completely ruined by bugs or problems in the game? I feel like them voicing more openly when they are dealing with issues and their progress could and would help to ease peoples minds about what they're dealing with in game. Screaming out your frustration into the void without any feedback is just demoralizing, ya know?

They are pushing the advertising campaign so hard there are literally multiple threads in the Genesis sub topic complaining about almost the complete lack of advertising, information and hype about the DLC from WC.

Can't freaking wait Im so HYPED!!!! Soundtrack delivers as usual! Good job on that. HYPE THE F*** UP!!

Date: Still set for the 25th Music: Sounding wonderful Optimism: High

Syntac made a vid recapping all the creatures, tools, weapons, and biomes in Genesis.

Unlucky for some but hopefully not you guys - Preview 13 is now available. http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/apps/ARKViewer_Preview13.zip or https://drive.google.com/file/d/131yjn1s8K9NIOZDVm1Y-bxwPXSXB_xW4/view?usp=sharing Bug Fixes: Added further checks to settings dialog save to prevent crash when no single player game selected. @Norlinri Re-worked the structure tab selection. It was previously not showing all structures for all selections. Hopefully much better now. Features: Added colour regions to wild and tamed grids to make it easier to identify event creatures or breeding colours. Added colour tab to settings page (read only atm, will allow edit in future release with all other settings options) Moved Rafts and Motorboats into Structures and removed from Tamed Tab.

Hey @cad just a quick heads up that whilst making my own viewer tool for ARK I was able to determine how to amend the underlying toolkits to read in cryo creatures. If this is something you want to include in your own system please check out my fork of it at https://github.com/Miragesoftware/ArkSavegameToolkit They will bubble up as tamed creatures with a new object property - .IsCryo that will be true if that tame is in a cryopod. Regards MirageUK (edit) The previous fork of my code was wrong. Missing variables and such preventing compile. Made various changes following code review on GitHub and now working as expected.
