Are you looking for a particular tutorial on how to mod something in ARK and haven't been able to find one yet? The Modding Tutorial Bounty Board is a way for both experienced and new modders to influence the kinds of tutorials the community produces. Submit a bounty request, and if it's added to the bounty board, Wildcard will offer a cash incentive for other mod authors to create a tutorial for it. The bounties will have a cash value assigned to them, based on expected difficulty, when added to the board. Mod authors can make and submit their tutorials to me in order to claim these bounties and their cash rewards. Submitting bounties: If a tutorial you desire is not present on the bounty board, scroll down to the next post to find the submission form. Look in the dropdown to see if a request for the subject is already present and if so, select it and submit the form. When submitting the form with an option from the list, it increases the demand rating for that tutorial, I look at these ratings at the end of the month when I determine which requests to add to the board. If the subject you are looking for is not present in either the board or the drop-down, add it to the text entry and submit the form (Make sure the drop-down is set to "My desired tutorial is not listed" or your request will not make it onto the list.) Complex requests may get split into multiple smaller bounties depending on the number of topics that would actually be covered by it. This increases the likelihood that all of the relevant information will actually get tutorials made as it no longer would require a single person to have all of the information. Claiming bounties: Mod authors who want to submit a tutorial to claim a bounty should send an email to ModProgram@studiowildcard.com, include a link to the tutorial and make the email subject line "Tutorial Bounty Claim: <bountyID>". Only the author of a tutorial can use it to claim the bounty. I will review the tutorial to ensure that it satisfies the expectations of the bounty. In the event of multiple submissions for the same bounty, the tutorial of higher quality and clarity will claim the bounty.

It's really all speculation at this point, but it is possible.

I want to point one detail in GP1 I don't think many people know about. If you choose to stick around during the credits and wait until the very end, you can see a secret bonus message at the bottom. It's short and doesn't reveal that much, but I think what it says is going to be important in making theories about GP2.

Island 79 with 10 players rubberbands every 30 seconds. Server saves that last for 30-60 seconds or more. Flying is a to risky and doing anything is really not possible. The performance is now so bad that this is no longer a working game. Months and months of this now. Hey Wildcard! We gave you money, you gladly accepted. How about supporting your game and players\customers. And just to add insult to injury you have this LIE stated that the "server network is healthy" Healthy!? If this is healthy what does not healthy look like?

It is possible. East colorado/west kansas is already kind of a wasteland.

So I was asking myself "Where the hell are we on Earth in Extinction". And I believe I found out. I think ARK Extinction's Sanctuary is Denver. I have multiple proofs: first of all, Diana said that Arat Prime was located on the other side of Earth, and the only place where I think it could be is near Mount Ararat. So that means Extinction happens in the US (Probably). And Denver is located right on the bottom of the Rockies, just like the Sanctuary. The big mountain behind the city could be where the glacier and the giant Element Peak are. I also think the only part of the city left is the downtown, because the Sanctuary is too small compared to the actual Denver. A good part of it was probably wiped out. That would explain why there's a building in the Underground Forest. What do you all think ? I'm open to any idea or criticism.

Joeblow has never been a serious forum moderator. I challenge you to find a serious post from him. It's best to ignore anything he posts as his aim is to troll.

I get it but I lap the loot is supposed to be a prize not trash, the least I could’ve expected out of it is materials from grinding. Especially with the new grind all feature... the no grind loot is brand new and unnecessary it makes the grinder practically useless.

What is the purpose of the unable to grind loot function it’s begging to be pointless to gather multiple vaults full of saddles I cannot use such as giga or Gacha saddles on genesis. Please just let me grind all the useless armor ect please .

What a brilliant idea, have made a request already.

Leveling System Overhaul Epoch Leveling System There are several RTS and TBS games that use one form of Epoch system or another, and I personally think it would make the Ark experience feel much more thorough. First, we need to axe Prim+ as a total conversion and integrate those assets into the main game, eliminating any overlap. After that, Epochs are established, which will restrict player access to certain resources, tools, and structures. Each Epoch will have its own independent leveling system, where level ups will come with unlocks within that Epoch. example: Cromag Epoch 10-20 levels can harvest stone, wood, thatch, berries, fiber, and other base resources incremental access to stone tools and thatch structures isn't smart enough to tame creatures (just emerged from the cave and all that) Once the player progresses through level 10/20, they are given the option to progress to the next Epoch, and they are given a new set of levels they must progress through. The next Epoch gives them level dependent access to better tools and resources. Eventually, by way of progression through the Epoch system, they become smart enough to tame creatures, which would also be Epoch restricted, and refine resources. Certain base resources, as the player progresses, could be refined into more efficient resources: charcoal could be refined into coal, which would last longer in forges; crude oil could be the natural state of oil, which then has to be refined to be used; iron could be the natural state of metal, which has to be refined into steel to make better tools. An Epoch system like this would draw out the game experience, giving far more relevance to the early stages of the game. At this point, you progress so quickly that much of the early game is all but pointless. Epochs would make acquiring that slingshot relevant, as well as 'Jesus, I can't wait until I get the frigging boomerang!'. The Epoch system would also allow for servers based around certain Epochs, rather than base and prim+ servers. You could set a server to stop at the bronze age and so on. This would also make it so those seeking to engage in RP through this game don't have to step outside of the main game. I mean, every server needs a pizza place and juice bar, amiright? Alternative Merge Prim+ and Prime Provide configuration options for Level a dino can be tamed at Level resource can be harvested/used at

U can transfer to other maps to use Gives them armor so they dont die easily

No, it makes the loot you just got and don't need useless because you already have better. The grinder retains it's purpose.
