The dinos are harder to trap now, since they tend to avoid buildings, but it's still doable. I'd forget the Youtube crew and try different things until you figure out what works.

Put building pieces on your hotbar and be ready to build quickly once you have the dino in a good spot. As mentioned above, dino gates are your friend here, but you can use foundations and walls too. If you're fast enough, you can build passive dinos into traps when they stop walking. Have plenty of material ready -- it  probably won't work the first try.

If you have a tribemate around, it's even easier. We've had one person act as bait while the other builds a quick structure around him. It doesn't have to be pretty; just effective.

Try the showfloatingdamage setting in gameusersettings.ini. It works on servers; may work for SP as well.

That's odd behavior with the C4, but you're forgetting something important -- many dinos that can damage wood structures can't damage stone.

If you're killing lots of babies you'll end up slot-capped with prime in no time. I usually avoid them for that reason.

I was looking through our blueprint vault on SE today, and I realized it's almost entirely saddles. Not a single hatchet, chainsaw, pike, shotgun or piece of armor.

What happened to the gear BPs? Surely we haven't been that unlucky. Maybe the drops on SE are sparser than I remember.

Add AllowCaveBuildingPvE=True to your gameusersettings.ini and PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=True (although it sounds like you have that one already).

Hey, thanks for your response.  When you say a couple weeks, what are we talking about here?  In game weeks?   As in like ~21 in game hours or..?  Also is the cryofridge the best way to level up dinos?  I've been keeping all my water creatures in my fridge and I do notice whenever I let them out they have leveled up.

Also another random question.  I saw another post about removing some of the restrictions on cryopods.  I tried inserting these changes into the .ini file and yeah.. when I load the game it just changes the .ini file back to the way it was.  I'm on PC gamepass.  Kind of annoying having to carry a generator and cryofridge with me everywhere lol.

Thanks again!

It's two real-world weeks when you're playing on a server. I'm not sure how single player handles it -- you might have to leave the game running for the equivalent of two weeks. The ini changes might be just for servers as well. I'm not sure how the game handles that in single player.

You don't need 200+ rexes for the gamma broodmother, but you do need better dinos than you have.

I could write paragraphs about the subject, but the basics are simple: tame 135+ megatheriums or rexes (whichever one you have a better saddle blueprint for), breed an army and put them in a cryofridge for a couple weeks to level up. Put the resulting points into health/damage and go try the fight.

Death by Snu Snu!

I don't see why you can't take the essence to SE or tame an Oasisaur and bring it to the Island. You'll have to move quickly though -- you have 24 hours (or less by now) before that death essence expires.

so the FPS issue is fixed or so... i went back to similiar my old fps.
The pixelation is still here instead...
Are they planning to put an option inside the graphic option or leave it like that?

Is the FPS issue fixed? I still regularly drop to around 30. I was rarely below 60 before the patch.

I have no idea, but I'd prefer that the development efforts go toward making the game run better before another map comes out. One of those recent patches brought down the framerates of me and the group I play with by a noticeable amount. I'm running at 30-50 fps most of the time now, which is lower than I can stand.

I'm assuming this was an accident, since I can't find anything in the patch notes about overall changes to the graphics.

That damage stat is good. I'd look for one with a better health stat though.

Honsstly i dont think ill need ascendent saddles, im on singleplayer and I got this 77 armor blueprint that's a lot cheaper and I have good crafting skill

Most of us only do it on official settings, so it's hard to say what would work with single player settings. We did the beta with a similar blueprint and lost a few of our theris. They weren't the greatest theris -- if I remember right they were born with 35-40 points into each of health and damage.

So a private server will solve the game performance issues?

 

It's been working great for my group so far. We've had some bugs, but all relatively minor compared with what I read about on official servers.

Its too expensive

I have One on the island but i dont Need One on ragnarok

Ah, I see. We never had a use for a replicator when we first did Ragnarok either, but we did actually find a use for the element later. We came back to Rag at some point after Genesis part 1 and took advantage of the big metal/obsidian spot in the desert using a hover skiff and a magmasaur. We had enough element around to craft the hover skiff and keep it powered, or maybe we imported some dust from Extinction. Either way, it did eventually come in handy.

Element has little use without the replicator. If the thing is too big and ugly for your base, build it somewhere far away.

It's not entirely possible anymore, as things like the original kibble system and the unrelenting raptors on the beach aren't in the game.

If you want to go through the game as slowly as the original, adjust the XP multiplier down to 0.25, or maybe even lower. The taming multiplier would have to go to 0.5 as well.

I couldn't go back to ASE now, after having the new features like the map and the build system improvements. Those who play on official might see it differently of course.

The trouble is, the "invisible clouds" still affect the game with atmospheric effects (haze and lighting) and associated FPS slowdowns, until/unless you do use the console command to turn them off.

So you take the FPS hit and don't have the clouds? That's even worse.

I'd consider that an improvement, since the first thing I do is turn them off when I start the game. They're always glitchy and my fps takes a big hit whenever I look at them.

I've never seen one.

My base extends out from a beach, and I get eggs from dinos that are well over the water part. I did have to enable mating to get any eggs, as they lay an  unfertilized egg almost never.

Geez, 200 taps? I'm feeling inadequate with my 4 taps now.
