i have said it before on other threads but it would be best imo if mutations were like "traits" that filled slots and could either give stat bonuses, trade offs (+1 hp, -1dmg for example) or even special abilities so that breeding was to create custom dinos, and wouldn't be as much of a powercreep.

that way a well bred dino would still be BETTER than like a fresh tame, but insanely better and it wouldn't take much to get something competitive

looks like someone just got the game without reading any of the recent news, ARK is no longer being developed, ARK 2 is. Stop expecting the devs to change stuff.

talk to people

guys stop bitching about first person its gonna be moddable

i would rather have less dinosaurs but with the majority of them having a use in mid-late game instead of some only being good for the first hour of gameplay then becoming obselete

It would be cool if instead of just dinos spawning where they spawn, a group is spawned on world creation but then herds/packs actually move around the map and stuff, and breed and raise their own young, of course there could be a few population control measures:

if at a cap they slow down and eventually just stop breeding until some die

if a herd/pack is depleted they breed faster, eggs/gestation is faster and babies grow faster

if a creature goes extinct then after some time a new herd/pack spawns somewhere

and stuff like that, packs should hunt down herds/smaller creatures, some creatures/groups can decide to run away or fight back based on enemy strength, or just start running when they think they can no longer win, as opposed to just individuals running off when they are about to die/ko (tho individuals can still retreat sometimes if they need to heal)

that would help a lot to make the game more realistic.

Recently in ARK I have found that it is pretty fun to use a boat base (or just in general even if not as a base) but I wish there was a better boat building system so we can build actual unique boats other than just a floating house. They are doing component based weapon crafting so why not a similar thing for boats?

guys chill modding will be available for all platforms and first person will be moddable, if you dont want TPP just use a mod

probably a little late but Mangost#3476 on discord

wildcard is working on a fix

not today, but yesterday:

(single player, extinction) Flew my argy to the forest for gachas, got a metal gacha, black pearl gacha and mating gacha.

flew them back to base, started breeding some, both times the babies were useless so i killed them.

Went to snow dome, got a direwolf, snow owl, daeodon and purlovia, tried to tame a chalicotherium with stimberries, gave up on that. killed it with the direwolf, went home. logged off and went to bed.

Haven't played today but yesterday:

TKI, the center, i bought a new thylacoleo from the pointshop (wanted a male to breed), got a male, breed it with one of the others, the baby turned out okay, started breeding it with my high stat female but by the time she finished gestating I had to get off, I thought my tribemate was coming on to take care of the baby, turns out he didn't. baby died, ill try again today. Farmed a bunch of resources, tamed an anky, went to "the center" (the area on the map), farmed crystals, i wanted to tame a doed but there were argies everywhere. I did tame a megalosaur though, it will be nice for aberration. Farmed more resources, then the server had to shut down so I got off and played some singleplayer ab where i went to the portal to bring my tames to my new base (paracer, trike, diplo and doed).
