That was multiple questions! 😆 Content is always usable on all maps but may very well require new resources from the new map. No S+ stuff is being added, besides what is already in the game. The DLC is still due on 2nd June. If there is any delay an official announcement will be made at some point. So for now, it is expected on time.

Fun story... It had been ages since I played on Ab, and so I set myself to branch out a base on what looked like a decent server. I transmitted myself to the AB server with a full set of desert gear, a wing suit, a spare transmitter, the fixings for a starter base, a magmasaur, and a rock drake. My goal was to setup and farm a squad of Rock Drakes, as I only had the one that I had traded for. I was circling fert lake to see if there was a good spot, and I rode into a patch of shrooms and got poisoned. I had forgotten which mushroom would counter it and died, leaving all this and the drake on a high bridge that is not accessible on foot. The level of anguish was exquisite. I was fortunate enough to get help from an outstanding player (Towel of Tegrity) who used his skiff help me to fully recover. I offered my magmasaur as a gift for his kindness, and he declined... and even gave me a full evo suit to protect me from future foibles of that kind. I promptly headed by to my home server to better plan, but with community players like that, I will definitely make that server my home. (fun fact, we discovered that I had died right outside his tek base!!!) We both had a good chuckle out of the whole thing... as even an experienced player cannot let his guard down in the 'safest' areas of that map.

(SP, The Island) I successfully transferred back to the Island and started going through my breeding dinos. I pulled everything that had a replacement with higher stats and all of my previous mutations. To prevent confusion and to keep from hoarding, I killed off most of the old breeders and mutations. I left a few in the dino storage console to collect unfertilized eggs. I do use the dino storage mod, but I really only use it for breeding when I have live births happening. I much prefer to hatch my eggs and pick and choose which babies are claimed. Once that was done, I arranged all of my new breeding projects: the rexes, the theri's, the deinonychus, and the yuty's. I tossed on their immobilising orbs and set everyone to wander so I don't have to stay in render distance to breed them. Next, I sorted through my dolphins so I could toss out my babies to imprint. Soon, I hope to take one out to look for deep sea loot crates. I spent most of my day today hatching eggs to combine stats and starting to look for mutations. My head was swimming with numbers, so I had to write down base stats to even keep track. Between sessions, I ran the swamp cave and came out with nothing good. I also went to the volcano and grabbed more metal and crystal just in case I decide to build another breeding room after all. It is definitely getting a little crowded with all of the lines starting to unfold.

got 755% dmg mut on my Direbears 🥳

(Official, Valguero) Unpodded wyverns for raising, went to try and get another egg, but the best I could get was a 50 (hope at least colors will be good). Bred Cinder and Gertrude, put their egg and the wyvern one into the hatchery. Made a lot of cementing paste. Fed basilos and shark. Gave bees more flowers. FINALLY FOUND A GOOD ARGENT BP!!! Never before found one over 48, but this one is 79! Immediately made a new saddle for Sapphire. Repodded wyverns (they were 5% grown at that point), picked up eggs. (Official, Crystal Isles) Refreshed base. (Official, Extinction) Fed dinos.

(Official, Valguero) Put wyvern egg back into the hatchery. All tek rex eggs and the lone spino egg went there as well. Took Bat and went to get more fire wyvern eggs. Just as previous time, lured wyverns away, killed some, then went looking. 170! Brought it home, put it in the hatchery. Went back for another... That's when the problems started. You see, Ice wyverns are (heh) chill. You fly far enough, even if you stole an egg, and they forget about you. Fire wyverns, as it turns out, are not. Three angry males (one a gorgeous mostly-black. Pity he was a male - I wouldn't mind an egg from THAT!) were chasing, chasing and chasing me. Even if I hanged them on some wild dinos, they ended up returning to me. Not only that, but as I was checking to see if I lost them yet using K mode, I flew too low above a base I failed to notice, and they aggroed at that. I had to abandon them for a bit to restore stamina, as my wyvern had less than a hundred left, then returned to lure them away. I succeeded, fortunately. And I ended up losing them, too! So after healing Bat up (good thing she's a Blood - any passing diplo is a healthpack!), I went back to the trench. Lured away ices, then dealt with fires in a different way: one by one I led remaining few into the milking trap and killed them there. Then I finally got the egg. 175. Into the hatchery it went. Then I decided I want a terrorbird. Tranqs, kibble, bolas, rifle, Bat, and to Beaver Lake I went. Found two, a 130 male and a 150 female, but they got killed. Highest I found after that was a 90, but together with it I found a 135 female rex, and I wanted a female for Cinder, so I tamed that instead. Named her Gertude. Also, game crashed after the 130+150 terrors thing, so I had to let all the hatched tek rexes die (they were no good anyway) because I'm not dismantling my whole hatchery for them. I only dismantled a little bit to get the 170 wyvern out (female, which is great because the 160 and 175 are both males. No cool colors (other two are pretty awerage on that as well, but FIRE WYVERNS!)). Also, the spino egg hatched into a female, dad's colors, mom's melee, which is exactly as it should be. And that's all for today.

PVE Ragnarok official Had a mostly "raising baby" kind of day yesterday. I was hoping the new 175 poison wyvern would be Female so I could pair it up with the 155 I already had. But no such luck, it was another Male. Eh, small complaint. I had them out for a good chunk of the day and I think the 155 is now at 35% and the 175 is almost 20%. Also pulled out the baby rexes, therizinos, yuties, and basilos (that I was never able to raise on the island because of horrible server issues) and gave them all their first extended dose of maturing since coming to Rag. Also got to have some fun with my new tribe-mate yesterday. She built a gazebo type structure to go with the water pen, and we made a couple trips to the desert to check loot drops, collect chitin, and hunt death worms (but didn't find a single worm). Late in the day I took her to the wyvern cave and showed her how I get my eggs. We didn't see anything good but she took a lvl 50 poison anyway. She died once in the escape process, and the egg disappeared from her inventory, but still a positive experience to learn from I think.

Personally i like coding in the night, but not when i'm really hungry 😄 misstakeCounter * 42 All good m8, i already switched to a backup. So its not urgent.

New build for you all to test out. 2021-8 http://www.miragesoftware.co.uk/ARK/Apps/ArkViewer2021-8.zip Features Tame identification: Added the range checks suggested by @invincibleqc Settings: Creature Colours list now editable. Settings: Creature Names list now editable. Settings: Structure Names list now editable. Settings: Item Names list now editable - with ability to use your own icons. Tribe / Player Log View: Added a new option to customise colours instead of using ones parsed from the log data. Map Markers: Added ability to multi-select custom map markers to allow more than one to be added to the visual map overlay. Map Markers: Overhauled the way it works with icons. Can now add and use your own custom icons. Wild Tab: Wild summaries now have [Please Select] and [All Creatures] options. Structure View: Beaver Dams, Various Nests.. now lists the contents of selected item as tooltip was not always obvious. Included various icons from the Wiki and web that I used in the game resource file - but will be mapped to these external files moving forward to easier support your own picture icon files. Still to do: Player friendly (no server details) way of using viewer. Possibly based on a new custom json file format exported from the server admin side instead of the raw game data itself. Support for Genesis 2. Various clean-up and unification of the different code paths (command line export vs UI) but that can be done in a future release - doesn't stop anything working for now. Contine working on github based Wiki: https://github.com/miragedmuk/ARKViewer-Master/wiki

Today I spent my time collecting cementing paste from beaver dams and collecting Crystal to make the top section more attractive to the eye and to the t Rex that can view his dinner running around inside

I started crafting tons of pillar bc i recognized i´m a lil dumbass which not thought about the fact that there is nearly no flat building space in ark on official servers which ins´t in use yet ... so i cried a second bc yesterday i crafted foundations and now yeah well letz build pillars and ceilings would work better than wasted foundations

Logged on. Didn't feed my dinos because im a good owner Recruited one of my friends to my tribe went over to genesis to unlock gamma master controller unlocked ^ Suffered a lot Did some more missions Cried because I lost some of my tames And im ready to do it again!

Can't wait for Genesis Part 2!! So Excited! Everything looks so💓 amazing!!💓

Can't wait for June 2nd!

PVE Rag official Did a little more work on the water pen. Tested it out with baby basilos and it appears to work just fine. Made a few runs for metal, stone, wood, etc. On a whim ( really because I was bored and needed to do something fun), I took the raft over to the wyvern cove and swam into the cave. stayed underwater mostly and poked around until I thought coast was clear. Pulled out argent and flew up to the top of the first pillar near the entrance. Found a 175 poison egg!!!!! Woohoo. I remembered to pod the argent. However, in my excitement I forgot to take off my flippers so when I grabbed the egg I couldn't run. At normal speed I can just run off the pillar top and my momentum will carry me out to the water... but with no speed and no momentum, I dropped straight down and hit rock at the bottom. (death #1) Respawned on the raft and swam in (no scuba) again. found body at surface of water. took all items, including egg. But, like an idiot, I stayed right there and took my time putting on the scuba. Being right at the water surface I was an easy target for the lightning bolt from above to strike me down. (death #2) Had to wait to respawn at the raft this time. When finally back in the game I swam (yet again) into the cave and secured my gear from body #2. Swam down this time to put on gear. Went back out to raft and started driving away and was attacked by 2 more wyverns. I kept driving out of the cove as they pestered me. Pretty soon I had the brilliant idea of jumping off the raft and swimming deep with scuba until they lose aggro. Nope, they got me again when I jumped for the water. (death #3) This time I spawned back at base and took my lightning wyvern with me. But by the time I got to the boat the other two wyverns had left. Cool beans!. Landed wyvern carefully on the raft deck ( kinda like landing a 747 on an aircraft carrier). Anyway, I made it home and started incubating the egg right away. Fast forward about 6 hours, I am standing by the egg with two minutes left to go until hatch when the power goes out at my house. Some freak gust of wind blue a tree into some power lines. In the 12 years I have live in this house this is the first time I have ever lost power. Oh My F..... God! I thought I was going to lose IT! I bounced around the house for awhile pulling out my hair. Then my wife told me to have a beer and settle down, LMAO. So I did. The power came back on about 30 minutes later and when I logged in... everything was ok. My baby wyvern was doing just fine. When I checked it against dododex, I think it had 33 pts in melee and 31 in health. Not world records, but good to me. All is well that ends well, right?

I am super excited that WILDCARD has had yet another Delay / Push Back on a date. There pro at pushing release dates back. 💯 ARK 2 Official - RELEASE 2025.

Today i got back into ark thankfully! i got a nice little base set up and have been farming narcs for tomorrow so i can get some farming tames! pve life lol

@Pocolate I haven't tried that dino mod but I can verify the .ini edit works amazingly well. Story maps are so much more enjoyable when you don't have to spend weeks looking for decent tames lol. So if you're not already aware, Syntac has PVP settings enabled on his servers. This has two functions: one, to make culling unwanted babies easier. Two, it's by far the easiest way to level up boss dinos, or anything else you need to get exp on for that matter. Because killing the unclaimed baby gives the same amount of exp as killing an adult. So you don't even need to leave your base to level your army if you run it this way. I cranked my kill exp up a bit to make this even faster because it just takes so long to level up an entire army, especially on single player when you don't have the advantage of passive offline exp from the cryopods. Honestly if you haven't tried the Dino Storage mod I highly recommend it for breeding. I just started using it myself and it is so much better, plus it fixes the issue with running PVP settings as you don't have to worry about cryo sickness. If you crank your settings high enough it becomes very viable to do separate mutation stacks and DS automates a lot of it too. I know some people are all but muh challenges but like...it's not really that challenging to breed dinos, it's just super tedious, and we don't all have 14+ hours a day to invest in a glorified Tamagotchi game. The reason why you want to do the mutations separately is so you can breed a significantly stronger dino faster. Once you hit the mutation cap, your chances of getting new mutations are halved. Because of this if you're aiming to do a lot of mutations, it's better to max out each stat you want in their own stack until they cap, then combine all those stats into one animal. It's less work, basically. It's not necessarily required but that was how I did it on my rexes and it really wasn't too bad as it meant I almost always had one new mutation raising up and could work on the other one in the meantime. With enough females and high enough breeding settings you can easily get at least one per game session if not more. You can also set the mating interval to 0.0, just note you have to set it every single play session or it defaults back to 1.0. That's how I'm managing to get a new gacha mutation every day. Speaking of gachas, while I was letting the new mutation finish raising up I checked my current crop of babies and wouldn't you know it, I finally got an element dust gacha. So my original plans for tonight ended up getting a bit derailed as I definitely wanted to raise her up right away. So basically today was another maintenance day. That's fine, I got a few random things done around the base. Did go out scouting with my snow owl, didn't find anything particularly interesting. Just as well, dimetrodons are overspawning again, forcing another wipe. Not sure what could be causing that tbh. None of the mods I use are particularly known for this type of issue. Maybe the .ini modifications, not sure. I don't like doing dino wipes but I'm not above taking advantage to check again but again nothing of note. That finished off my night pretty much.

Is this how ark 2 will be also?. constant server crashing, lag, disconnections, glitches.😡

Thank you for adding back to see the other drops, noticed tho that the command SetPlayerPos <x> <y> <z> does not work it only copies "cheat SetPlayerPos <x> <y> <z>" but does not have cords for the dropped item (non-player egg is what i am trying right now)

got my popcorn, i am rdy for delay number 5.

4 days left and no info on transfer times or launch even -.0 why do i have a really bad feeling on this
