  8. Structures Plus (S+) & Kibble Rework Beta! It is finally here! This is the first time we've done a public beta branch for ARK, so here is a lengthy but necessary introduction. As a quick starting note: Before accessing a beta branch you should create a backup of any single player games, characters, or server files that you may have for ARK to prevent any corruption or loss of player data from occurring. When you’re done playing with the beta you’ll need to navigate back to the branch selection dialogue and opt-out of the beta (choose NONE). You cannot access your official server while on the beta because they are not the same version. Depending on your internet connection this process could take some time so if you’re doing anything time sensitive on your official server, be cautious of swapping! How to access the beta: From your Steam games library, right-click on ARK: Survival Evolved and choose Properties. From this new window you’ll click on BETAS at the top. Here is where you’ll swap between the beta version and the live version of the game. Choose the beta called qolbeta_public from the drop down list and then close the Properties window once the window says it has successfully accessed the beta. Your Steam client will begin to download the beta (at the time of this post, v290.103). Depending on your internet connection this process could take some time. You can tell you are successfully on the beta when [qolbeta_public] appears next to ARK: Survival Evolved on your Steam games list. Servers for testing: We've set up two servers with 10x rates on the beta branch for those of you who would like to test out the S+/kibble changes if you'd rather test in a more traditional environment: Official Server: WildcardTesting Unofficial Server: WildcardQA Providing feedback: In order for us to effectively analyze feedback from beta users we have set up two separate threads, one for Structures Plus related feedback and one for the Kibble changes. Please use these threads linked below when reporting issues, bugs, and feedback to us. Feedback about Structures Plus changes: Feedback about Kibble changes: Please see the first comment under this post for currently known issues. We will be taking your feedback into serious consideration regarding both of these changes. Once we're happy with where these features are at, we will be bringing them over to the PC main game and then to all platforms (Xbox and PS4). Changes on the beta include: (please check the first comment under this post for the most up-to-date patch notes). Structures: Structure quick pickup time is now configurable in ini file (ServerSettings -> StructurePickupTimeAfterPlacement, default = 30) Added new ini config option to ignore the duration and always allow quick pickup (ServerSettings -> AlwaysAllowStructurePickup, default = false) Improved quick pickup HUD text to avoid overlapping other text, and duration is now formatted as a timestamp if over 60 seconds to support very long timers. Enabled structure quick pickup for ALL structures. For structures that previously had pickup disabled, they now auto-disable quick pickup as soon as the player interacts with the structure in any way (unless AlwaysAllowStructurePickup is set to true) New structures/variants: 'Smooth' sidewall textures variants (like the stone foundation) to the stock square foundations [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Thatch, Wood] Triangle foundations [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Triangle ceilings [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood, Greenhouse] Triangle roofs [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood, Greenhouse] Large (4x height) walls [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Flexible pipe [Stone, Metal] Flexible electrical cable Stairs (with freely swappable ramp variant) [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Double door frames [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Double doors [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Dedicated storage (Tek structure that allows storing a large amount of a single resource) Fence supports (allows you to build fences that are level along the top) [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] The blueprint paths for the new structures are listed below so you can spawn them in for testing. You can also use creative mode for easier and faster building. With admin enabled you can type cheat gcm into the console (press Tab) to enable creative mode.

Old kibbles will still work to tame their appropriate creatures. Old kibble will no longer be craftable, only the new types will be craftable. Further notes: If you have a single player or unofficial save file it is worth loading it up on the beta and checking if there are any obvious bugs or compatibility issues. Your pre-existing structures should see no changes on the beta, and kibble that is already crafted should work as normal. If there are any inconsistencies you notice, please report them to us using the threads linked above so we can address them. Attention builders! Fancy yourself a top tier builder? We want to see what you can do with the new structure changes! Hop into the beta and build to your heart's content using any of our officially supported maps (The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction). You can do this in your single player world or your unofficial server if you have access to one. We’ll be picking the best builds submitted to us for featuring in an upcoming video trailer showcasing the building changes to ARK similar to the announcement video we did for our latest mod contest. Submit pictures and/or a video of your build, your map save and coordinates to your build to arkfans@studiowildcard.com so we can take a look. You can get the direct coordinates to your build location by enabling setcheatplayer true and jotting down the coordinates presented on screen. You can upload your map save to a file sharing website such as Google Drive, Dropbox, etc, and include the link in the email. Entries are due by February 4th, 2018. We look forward to seeing your masterpieces! View full article

For structures that previously had pickup disabled, they now auto-disable quick pickup as soon as the player interacts with the structure in any way (unless AlwaysAllowStructurePickup is set to true) New structures/variants: 'Smooth' sidewall textures variants (like the stone foundation) to the stock square foundations [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Thatch, Wood] Triangle foundations [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Triangle ceilings [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood, Greenhouse] Triangle roofs [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood, Greenhouse] Large (4x height) walls [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Flexible pipe [Stone, Metal] Flexible electrical cable Stairs (with freely swappable ramp variant) [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Double door frames [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Double doors [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Dedicated storage (Tek structure that allows storing a large amount of a single resource) Fence supports (allows you to build fences that are level along the top) [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] The blueprint paths for the new structures are listed below so you can spawn them in for testing. You can also use creative mode for easier and faster building. With admin enabled you can type cheat gcm into the console (press Tab) to enable creative mode.

Old kibbles will still work to tame their appropriate creatures. Old kibble will no longer be craftable, only the new types will be craftable. Further notes: If you have a single player or unofficial save file it is worth loading it up on the beta and checking if there are any obvious bugs or compatibility issues. Your pre-existing structures should see no changes on the beta, and kibble that is already crafted should work as normal. If there are any inconsistencies you notice, please report them to us using the threads linked above so we can address them. Attention builders! Fancy yourself a top tier builder? We want to see what you can do with the new structure changes! Hop into the beta and build to your heart's content using any of our officially supported maps (The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction). You can do this in your single player world or your unofficial server if you have access to one. We’ll be picking the best builds submitted to us for featuring in an upcoming video trailer showcasing the building changes to ARK similar to the announcement video we did for our latest mod contest. Submit pictures and/or a video of your build, your map save and coordinates to your build to arkfans@studiowildcard.com so we can take a look. You can get the direct coordinates to your build location by enabling setcheatplayer true and jotting down the coordinates presented on screen. You can upload your map save to a file sharing website such as Google Drive, Dropbox, etc, and include the link in the email. Entries are due by February 4th, 2018. We look forward to seeing your masterpieces!

  12. Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! Structures Plus (S+) & Kibble Rework! We're starting off 2019 strong! The promised public beta including S+ and Kibble changes will be available by the end of this week for PC players to play with. When we're ready to share the build we'll give you some more information on how to opt-in to this build through Steam. S+ Features that will be in the beta branch: Changes: Made structure quick pickup time configurable in ini file (ServerSettings -> StructurePickupTimeAfterPlacement, default = 30) Added new ini config option to ignore the duration and always allow quick pickup (ServerSettings -> AlwaysAllowStructurePickup, default = false) Improved quick pickup HUD text to avoid overlapping other text, and to format durations as timestamps if over 60 seconds to support very long times if configured for that Enabled structure quick pickup for ALL structures. For structures that previously had pickup disabled, they now auto-disable quick pickup as soon as the player interacts with the structure in any way (unless AlwaysAllowStructurePickup is set to true) New structures/variants: Added 'smooth' sidewall textures variants (like the stone foundation) to the stock square foundations [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Thatch, Wood] Triangle foundations [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Triangle ceilings [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood, Greenhouse] Triangle roofs [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood, Greenhouse] Large (4x height) walls [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Flexible pipe [Stone, Metal] Flexible electrical cable Stairs (with freely swappable ramp variant) [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Double door frames [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Double doors [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Dedicated storage (Tek structure that allows storing a large amount of a single resource) Fence supports (allows you to build fences that are level along the top) [Adobe, Metal, Stone, Tek, Wood] Kibble changes that will be in the beta branch: All eggs have been assigned a value based on the size and rarity of the egg. These sizes include: Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, and Special. The eggs are used in a recipe to create kibble of a coinciding value: Basic, Simple, Regular, Superior, Exceptional, and Extraordinary. This new system will make it so that creature kibble desires are based on the quality levels instead of specific creatures, which should greatly decrease the number of tamed creatures needed for the purposes of taming. Regarding previously crafted kibble: Old kibbles will not be wiped, and will inherit their new "value/color" appropriately. Old kibbles will still work to tame their appropriate creatures. Old kibble will no longer be craftable, only the new types will be craftable. We will be taking your feedback into serious consideration regarding both of these changes so we invite you to communicate with us on our social media, the forums, reddit, etc with your opinions and critique. Once we're happy with where these features are at, we will be bringing them over to the PC main game and then to all platforms (Xbox and PS4). Modding Community Updates! Upcoming Server Maintenance! At 12:00pm Eastern on January 8th we will be taking down some of Asia servers for maintenance. We expect maintenance to last for approximately 2 hours. During this time the servers will not be running therefore time will not progress. Once the servers are back online, they will require re-adding to your favorites list as they will have new IP addresses. You can find a list of affected servers at the link below. Nintendo Switch servers will also be going offline for 15 min of maintenance at 12pm EST. Extinction Transfers Opening Soon! We have been getting a lot of questions about this lately and rightfully so. We will be opening server transfers on our official servers into Extinction on January 15th! This will be on all applicable platforms. There will be no transfer restrictions on creatures (unlike Aberration). Winter Wonderland Over! This winter-themed holiday event how officially ended. The event will be turned off on official servers during a deployment tomorrow at 12pm PST, and will also automatically be disabled if your server restarts between now and then. If you would like to continue the event on your server, you can use the command line: -ActiveEvent=WinterWonderland Fanart of the Week! Snowy Owl by Brzozeur! Evolution Event! Survivors on all platforms will be receiving a special Evolution Event perk this weekend! It will be active from Friday the 11th of January at 1 PM EST until Monday the 14th of January at 3 PM EST. All Official Servers across each platform will be undergoing this evolutionary change which includes: 2x Harvesting Rates 2x Taming Rates 2x EXP Rates That's it for this post guys!

  14. Hey Survivors! Welcome to the first (and also short) edition of the Community Crunch for 2019! 2018 in Review! Happy New Year, Survivors! Thank you all for making us a part of your 2018. It has truly been an insane year for us. As always we are humbled by your support of all things ARK and we could not have achieved these milestones without you. Let's bring in the new year with a roar, and keep on surviving in 2019! Structure Plus & Kibble Rework! We look forward to being back in the office this week and back to the grind so we can bring you more ARK this year. In case you missed our post about it, two of the main things we are currently working on in the month of January include Structures Plus and the Kibble rework, which you can read about here: The extra exciting news is that we will be launching a public beta on PC for the next round of S+ implementation and the kibble changes very soon. We will be relying on your feedback and making tweaks and changes during the beta process before these features make their way into the live game for everyone to enjoy. When the beta releases we invite you to break these new features as much as possible! Extinction Transfers Opening Soon! We have been getting a lot of questions about this lately and rightfully so. We will be opening server transfers on our official servers into Extinction on January 15th! This will be on all applicable platforms. There will be no transfer restrictions on creatures (unlike Aberration). Xbox Game Pass! We're excited to announce that ARK will be joining January’s Xbox Game Pass titles today! Xbox Game Pass is a monthly subscription that lets you enjoy unlimited access to over one hundred great Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles. We are excited to be welcoming Game Pass holders into the world of ARK. Best of luck surviving! Winter Wonderland! Don't forget that Winter Wonderland is here but it won't be around forever! This winter-themed holiday event ends on January 7th so be sure to get your fill of this festive event before Raptor Claus and Gacha Claus make their way back to the North Pole. Fanart of the Week!

  22. Hey Survivors! Welcome to the latest edition of the Community Crunch! Winter Wonderland 2018! Winter Wonderland is almost here! This winter-themed holiday event begins tomorrow at 10am PST for PC, Xbox, and PS4 and will last through until January 7th. All of our maps are supported in both single player and multiplayer. The event will automatically activate on any map, even on your modded map servers. Raptor Claus will be sailing across the night sky in his sleigh, air-dropping presents filled with high-end loot as well as Mistletoe, and Coal for those naughty Survivors. Raptor Claus won't be alone this year. He is joined by Gacha Claus who will be roaming all maps in a dashing Santa Hat and sporting holiday-themed colours to help out the very busy Raptor Claus. He will be accepting your coal and in exchange will gift you holiday themed items, or you can trade in your mistletoe for weapons and armor! Gacha Claus will also have a random chance to gift you with a new special dino holiday candy when given mistletoe. This candy appears to have a strangely festive effect on any creature that eats it however. Better give it a try and see what happens. Bon appetit! Survivors can stay warm this season in their festively decorated homes with the holiday lights, decorative Christmas tree, wreaths, stockings, snowmen, and wrapped presents they receive from trading with Gacha Claus. Be sure to spread the holiday cheer wherever you go while it lasts!
