Hey fellow survivors! We are getting close to the official launch of Primitive+ and I thought it would be a good time to go over what Primitive+ is and what you can expect to find in it. The total conversion won’t be much of a change for those who already survive primitively, but for those who are used to more modern things like electricity will be in for quite a change! Everyone’s vision of what ‘primitive’ is can differ. Because of this, it’s probably best to say that primitive in this case means no electricity. While Primitive+ is primitive in nature, it’s not like ‘stone age’ primitive. The premise of the mod is “What would ARK look like if we took our current knowledge and the resources provided to try and survive”. While things like electricity and AC might not be realistic in this scenario, it doesn’t mean that you can’t have some luxuries while surviving in the primitive lifestyle. Primitive+ takes away modern conveniences and leaves you to survive the way that many people did for years, and still live to this day. There is no electric or anything that might require electric (AC, Fabricator, etc). Although some of those modern conveniences are gone, I’ve given you a lot more content to fulfill your adventures on the island. You will find that most of the content fits nicely with roleplaying or PVE experiences. For those that prefer PVP, there’s content in there for you too! For PVP’ers I’ve added more weapons and different ways of raiding bases and fulfilling your PVP desires. You might find that the barrel of gunpowder has some detrimental effects and is highly temperamental. Maybe you prefer to take a battleaxe into your fight. Maybe you prefer ranged damage and opt for the longbow, musket, or flintlock pistol. No matter how you choose to engage your foes, there should be an option for you in Primitive+. In addition to the PVP content that’s been added, there’s tons of contents for those who want to simply enjoy their time on the island and make the best of it. You might prefer to be a master chef with the different consumables and crops that Primitive+ has to offer. If that doesn’t suit your play-style, you might prefer to become a merchant and set up a market with market stalls for trading. The goal of Primitive+ will always be to expand upon the content that ARK already provides so you will find that Primitive+ isn’t a lot different than the core game. It diversifies the core resources to allow for a more immersive and personable experience. I mean who doesn’t want to send mail to friends using the in-game mailing system in Primitive+!? You could even invite them over for dinner and cook a meal. There are dozens of new resources to collect including an additional 11 crop seeds that you will be able to plant and grow. Primitive + adds 230 different items that are not in the core game which includes 3 new building tiers (lumber, cement/brick, and adobe). Since metal structures are not a thing in Primitive+, cement and brick offer the highest line of defense against raiders. There are certain things that didn’t make the cut for the initial release that I plan on expanding upon in further updates. Primitive+ will receive future updates and content as the core game matures and adds more features. I hope you are excited for the future of Primitive+, because this is just the beginning!!!!! A special thanks for all the testers that have been helping me get this squeaky clean before release. That’s not to say there won’t be some minor issues, but nothing game-breaking. Get ready to live off the land! - Ced --- That’s it for this week’s post guys! As always if you’ve got anything to share please get in touch and be sure to follow us on Twitter at @survivetheark - Facebook at www.facebook.com/survivetheark and Reddit at www.reddit.com/r/playark All the best, Wildcard Jat and the ARK: Survival Evolved Team!

  2. Hello Survivors, Welcome to your latest edition of the Community Crunch and ARK Digest! Xbox One Sale! ARK: Survival Evolved is currently available on the Xbox Game Preview Program at a reduced sale price! Survivors can now pick up the game, with a 15% discount for Xbox Silver Members or a 25% discount for Xbox Gold Members! If you’ve been waiting for a sale to grab it, now’s your chance! Xbox Sale! ARK Digest! Here is our question and answer session with Lead Designer, Lead Programmer, Co-Creative Director of ARK: Survival Evolved, and Co-Founder of Studio Wildcard: Jeremy "Drake" Stieglitz! Survivor, n_scheffel asks, “In the last digest you mentioned the new industrial grinder would be similar to the industrial grinder mod detailed on steam. That grinder is an industrial version of the mortar and pestle, and it also does things like convert wood into thatch. We already have the chemistry bench acting as an upgraded mortar and pestle, so how is the industrial grinder going to fit in between without making the chemistry bench pointless?” Survivor, fitzsteve asks, “Hi, would be great to have an update on VR support, when you will be supporting the latest Oculus drivers?” Survivor, HarbingersCat asks, “Any chance of Titanosaur eggs being added in the future?” Survivor, n_scheffel asks, “How about an "undo" feature for placed items with a timer of approximately 30 seconds? For example, you place a behemoth gateway you just spent 1500 metal, 350 cp and 100 polymer making, only to realize one pillar is hovering off the ground by 3'. It would be nice to quickly pick up the item rather than demolishing it and wasting 1/2 of the resources.” Survivor, AERHAE asks, “When will we see difficulty level 5 on the island map?” Survivor, FlyinJapman4 asks, “In regards to Primal Survival, Will we be able to customize our creatures similar to how we customize our human characters, such as height, limb size, skin/fur/scale color, etc?” Survivor, FlyinJapman 4 also asks, “At what Maturity level would a player character be spawned into when they start a game, and how would they be able to survive if they start at newborn/hatchling since raising them as a human is already time consuming?” Survivor, FlyinJapman 4 also asks, “How are the super dinos like the Giga and Titanosaur going to be balanced on PVP servers? Will there be admin options to restrict on what and how many of a species are allowed in that session?” Survivor, HarbringersCat asks, “Will it later be possible to chance upon wild versions of advanced crops, so that you can begin making dino kibble without needing to rely entirely on farm plots?” Survivor, tomb asks, “Is there any chance we can get a server setting for only displaying the name tags / ownership tags of our tribe and allies? This would help RP servers a lot by giving the admins a chance to hide meta information. This would prevent for example being identified when you are wearing a mask. Or when you are hiding somewhere and they use a spyglass. You would also not know who owns a house unless they put up a sign!” Survivor, Wulfsige85 asks, “can have an option to place armor on the Training Dummy, that we can see how much damage each tier of armor can take from players/Dino's. Also we need a Dino/Boss dummy.” Survivor, RedStorm8616 asks, “Also, you explained that if you don't stimulate Troodons, they'll eventually betray you, but if you raise one from birth, say imprint it 100%, would it lose this traitorous nature?” Community Contests!

Hey fellow survivors!!! It’s Ced and I hope you are getting ready for the official launch of Primitive+! For those that have been with me for the past year and a half while I worked on P+, you will know that it has went through a transformation and has had its up’s and down’s in terms of stability. It has been a massive undertaking in which I’ve learned a great deal. While we may be nearing the end of the road, we aren’t at the end of the ride There are still plans to keep polishing and adding to Primitive+ after the official launch - so keep those ideas and suggestions coming in. Expect a lot of things to look different in the next update! It will be the biggest update P+ has ever seen! In terms of what you may expect to see - bridges, alchemy tables, stairs/steps, more meals and consumables, heavier integration of existing resources, integrated mailbox systems, and much much more.. That’s in addition to the 160+ custom items that Primitive+ introduces. Oh and maybe bug fixes I’m shooting for a weekend release (Sunday) for the next content patch. Following that, the next updates before going ‘live’ will focus on bug fixes and optimization only. I hope to see everyone give it a shot and see how long they can thrive when living off what the land provides without modern conveniences. Until then…… -Ced Mod Spotlight! Cedric: Whats up everyone, I'm here with iSpezz, a well-known modder in the community. Today we're here to talk about his SteamPunk mod but he has other content in the workshop as well. iSpezz, why don't you tell me a little about yourself and other mods you've worked on! Cedric: Wow, since release!? That's impressive! So is this the first game you started modding for, or are there other games you've tried to mod? Cedric: You obviously keep busy! OK, so let's talk about the SteamPunk mod. For those that don't even know what SteamPunk is, why don't you give them a brief introduction. What types of things can we expect to see in the mod? Cedric: I agree, I think it fits nicely within the ARK family. I must say, I've been dying to ride in an air balloon across the island haha! Are there any other plans to keep adding items to the mod, or are you mostly complete with it? Cedric: That looks so cool! Can't wait to check it out!!! Well if your history repeats itself, I'm sure we'll see another mod from you in the future! Where do you draw inspiration/ideas from for new mods, or is it just something that hits you and you start working on it? Cedric: Can't wait to see what's up next! Before we part, is there anything you'd like to say to the community. It's been really nice chatting with you! That’s it for this week’s post guys!

The Semi Final match for the Season One: Summer Cup will take place on Sunday, July the 3rd at 11AM EST. For all the extra details, check out the announcement we made here: ARK Digest Q&A! Here is our question and answer session with Lead Designer, Lead Programmer, Co-Creative Director of ARK: Survival Evolved, and Co-Founder of Studio Wildcard: Jeremy "Drake" Stieglitz! Survivor, Deaner, asks, “With the Allosaurus on the way, two of it's abilities the alpha pack leader and the bleed effect are big things for it. Are we going to see both of those things added with the Allosaurus and possibly see the alpha pack boost for the Dire Wolves and the bleed effect for the Megaleceros at the same time? Survivor, Zadira, asks, “In a previous digest, changes to pillars and other building structures were talked about that would help the problems that we have in pve. Is there an update for the status of those changes?” Survivor, Emanuel1721, asks, “Hey, can you guys make that "Demolish Allowed" structures automatically destroys themselves after 1-2 weeks of not being demolished, because there's a LOT of abandoned bases that demolishing would take hours, and they just stay there causing lag and blocking spawns (especially on the Xbox official servers).” Survivor, N_scheffel, asks, “I currently have to type in "r.bloomquality 0" and "r.lightshafts 0" every time I log in to avoid being blinded by light sources reflecting off most objects in the game (especially metal). Can that option be added to the current persistent graphics settings?” Survivor, Nahz, asks, “Are there any plans to make regular and prime fish meat better taming options for creatures that we already have in the game? Meat taming sea creatures has become a challenge now that megalodons drop prime fish meat instead of prime meat.” Survivor, Assassindude27, asks, “Is the "Industrial Grinder" the same thing as the mod?” (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=534838287) Survivor, Tomtoyer, asks, “We will see in a future physical differences between females and males creatures?” Survivor, Aztec, asks, “Can you make it so that we can choose to craft items by multiples of ten instead of one at a time or the maximum number we can make, it gets annoying to click 20 times so i can make 20 narcotics or some other item id prefer if you only had to click twice.” Survivor, Ruenan, asks, “Hi I play ark on PC and Xbox one and was wondering if its possible, can we get all the sliders like the Xbox one version has for the server options in the hosting non dedicated and single player for the PC version? Plant growth speed, Spoil Time, all the Intervals etc.” and Survivor, Reubatina11, asks, “Is it possible that other options, such as breeding timers, egg incubation, baby maturation etc will be added as sliders to the Single Player startup screen? I'm playing on a Mac, and I'm struggling to access the INI. In addition, could we get options like cave flyers, Titan feeding etc added as checkboxes?” Survivor, Reubatina11, asks, “Will the Titanosaur ever be breedable? Could this maybe be a server option for unofficial PvE servers?” Survivor, Cleetuss, asks, “What other forms of illnesses do you have in mind? Will dinosaurs be getting them as well? Terrible as it seems, a herbivore with rabies sounds funny.” Survivor, Klaahn, asks, “Is Xbox ever getting the MaxStructurePlatformMultiplier option for servers? It's the one that always for more structures to be built on Platform Saddles and Rafts.” Survivor, RedStorm8616, asks, “Is there any way you could add in an Alpha Direbear? I ask this not for the variation in Alphas (which would be nice) but for the Bear Skin Rug that would be inside it's inventory -- similar to the Rex Trophy inside an Alpha Rex?” Survivor, Silvyss, asks, “Can we get a button for toggling snap points on xbox I know y switches walls and doors but I'd like a button to toggle all available snap points.” Survivor, Kody.Gloval, asks, “One of the biggest issues with building is the clipping. Is it possible to put something in an .ini file to disable clipping for a private server?” Survivor, Drklotus69, asks, “I see the phrase "that will come with tek tier" or some variation of that all the time in the answers portion of this segment. Is there any sort of rough ETA we can get for when tek tier will actually arrive in game?” Community Contests! ARKitect! This is an award given to Survivors to celebrate the amazing structures you build on PC or Xbox.

Here is our question and answer session with Lead Designer, Lead Programmer, Co-Creative Director of ARK: Survival Evolved, and Co-Founder of Studio Wildcard: Jeremy "Drake" Stieglitz! Survivor, Mendoza asks, “Will we see different moon phases like a new moon, solar eclipse , lunar eclipses? and if so, will they make some nights darker than others and also affect dino behavior?” Survivor, SassinPr0ph3cy asks, “Would it be possible to have a multiple select feature in the inventory? Like if I have a decent amount of berries, meat, fish it would be much easier to select all and transfer them to Dino or food bin.” Survivor, Neizan asks, “Can we have a option to "hide learned engrams”?” Survivor, Rofelo asks, “Will there ever be a refrigerated food trough?” Survivor, Rulin asks, “Are we still getting the "no fog" server-feature for unofficial servers?” Survivor, Rulin also asks, “Do you have plans for tougher glass structures, or at least an optional boost option for unofficial servers? Currently we can only boost all structure types at once.” Survivor, Rulin also asks, “Can you please give us an auto-flight/run mechanic please (maybe via num key), so traveling long distances gets a bit more convenient?” Survivor, Shadowenigma250 asks, “Will we get things such as animal bones or animal/creature blood (other than leech blood) as resources? Or perhaps milk production by female mammals?” Survivor, Zachywilson asks, “With xbox cross platform play coming can we host a server with our PC and play on the Xbox with all the features, mods, etc.?” Survivor, Lo’ruke asks, “Will we get banners or flags that are attachable to non-platform saddles similar to what is in Survival of the Fittest? (Maybe with an option to hide / unhide the flag like the raft sail)” Survivor, jazzop asks, “Can we have the camera zoom out more when driving a raft i like to build extravagant rafts but can never see where im going” Survivor, gabessdsp asks, “Will you ever offer proper support for eyefinity/nvidia surround setups? I love gaming across my 3 monitors as to many others out there. I'd love to have proper support for this game.” Survivor, Ruenan asks, “Tech question for you guys. With the recently announced Project Scorpio, and Playstation Neo is there a possibility will we be seeing you guys use the power theses consoles will bring to the table to improve the game on the console side? We know there many many months away over a year that is and you guys still don't have an official release but if so what ideas may come to you guys that you may want to improve and target on these more powerful consoles?” Survivor, Illuvater asks, “Would it be possible to make the RB button on xbox more usefull when mounted, maybe to switch the camera view from third person riding to first person riding and back? Cause if you are mounted the RB button do nothing and we have to go to the options to switch third person riding to first person riding.” Survivor, Tomtoyer asks, “What species of fish we can catch? And the fishes will do animations to jump and trying to escape? How it will work the bait?” Fan Feature!

Carts and Wagons Mod! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=695990475 Hey everyone I'm here with MechanizedIT, the author of the carts and wagons mod. Welcome buddy! So there's been quite a bit of uproar about your mod (in a good way). In little time, it has already become one of the top 5 most popular mods in the workshop! Congrats! So tell me a little about yourself and what got you into modding. Well we are sure glad to have you! What you created is something that I've seen requested for quite some time. Talking about that nagging desire for things you wanted to be in the game, could you explain your mod and what you hoped to achieve? I realize a lot of it is kind of self-explanatory but it can't hurt to clarify for anyone who may not be up to speed! I love the foreshadowing! I'll have to keep my eye out for this next mysterious project ? Well let me tell you, I was extremely impressed and fascinated with what you did. Having a cart to haul along your precious cargo definitely helps in the early game. I think many wanted to do the same thing but ran into challenges in the development kit when trying to implement similar functionality. Tell me about some of those challenges.... What resources did you lean on to power through? This definitely isn't an easy mod to tackle for your intro into the development. Kudos for powering through and helping others fill in the gaps where they may have had similar issues. The modding community is a really good at spreading and sharing knowledge about adventures in the development kit. I’m really excited to see what you have planned for your next mod because if "Carts & Wagons" is any indication of what you have in store, we're in for an exciting ride! Before we wrap up, do you have any last words you'd like to share with your fans or the ark community? That’s it for this week’s post guys!

If you missed our ARKtastic announcements during this week at E3 here’s a recap post including trailers and screenshots of all our announced new content! Check it out: Biome Update! As the biome update quickly approaches, here’s a reminder that anything located inside the zoned areas could be deleted by these new biome changes. Please remove any important resources, bases, and creatures from the area before the patch releases (ETA: June 22). Anything within the redwoods are will absolutely be deleted. If you are based in the expanded snow biome your belongings will likely survive if terrain changes have not taken place, but it is in your best interest to remove all valuables from these areas to avoid damage if you are concerned about it. A map of these areas and further details can be found in the post below: ARK Digest Q&A! Here is our question and answer session with Lead Designer, Lead Programmer, Co-Creative Director of ARK: Survival Evolved, and Co-Founder of Studio Wildcard: Jeremy "Drake" Stieglitz!y Survivor, Mystalias asks, “Can the training dummy show torpor damage done?” Survivor, Dinopants asks, “For those of us who enjoy cave spelunking with our birds on single player, can we get a way to enable the ForceAllowCaveFlyers=True setting in the ini file?” Survivor, Dinopants asks, “Will the current tribe logs get updated to show more detailed information? Such as the tribe name of a dino that killed you?” Survivor, Volk asks, “Any plans for more advanced underwater weapons beyond the crossbow such as harpoon etc?” Survivor, God787 asks, “Any chance of getting some settings for the homing water mines, kind of like the turret settings?” Survivor, Ruenan asks, “With the Titanosaur coming out the 22nd. Will its so called "mega poop" create double the fertilizer in the compost bin or a bunch in a dung beetle?” Survivor, TranqRex asks, “Are there more types of structure planned? I've seen some clay-style prototypes linked on Twitter but they were for Primitive+ I think. How about the main game in general? -- obviously excluding the new tree-based stuff for Redwoods!” Survivor, TranqRex asks, “Could we get an 'eat all' button on XB1 (maybe for PC too it'd be useful)? When my health is low and I need to munch a stack of berries, repeatedly tapping the right trigger is only wearing out that trigger and tiring my finger!” Survivor, Tomtoyer asks, “How will works the Purlovia burrow's system?? They will can make holes in the ground and go in?” Survivor, Kenkillya asks, “Would you consider putting a cool down or limit on tribes changing their tribe name. On the server I'm playing on there are tribes that change their names several times a day.” Survivor, Zanber asks, “Any chance we can get Dev Kit functionality to arrange primal data blueprints in groups, assign each item a point value within that group, and then impose a cap on how many points worth of structures/tames from each group a tribe may have placed/own. I would really like to run a server that limits the amount of dinos tribes can get, with higher powered dinos costing more towards the cap. Or maybe a turret mod with multiple turret types, with stronger turrets costing more. Or limiting how many vaults & or storage boxes a tribe can have. I really think it would be great for people trying to create personalized server specific balance type mods.” Survivor, Neizan asks, “About: Custom Tripwire Alarm Notifications, Is there any chance of a mobile application of survivetheark.com to receive notifications on my Android?” Survivor, OnePotatoChip asks, “So we've got functional fire animation and damage in the game with the DodoRex and The Dragon. Does this mean we'll being seeing fire based weaponry in the future? I know it was talked about before, but you all seemed sort of iffy about it.” Survivor, Kaprodonychus asks, “Once Tapejara latches onto a tree or wall, can it move around on it as well as gain stamina? Or does it stay in its place?” Survivor, HarbringersCat asks, “Since Tapejara can land on cliff faces and such, could it also land on the sides of large dinos like brontos?” Survivor, Marksman00048 asks, “Would you consider the dyng of backpacks to aid in reclaiming your gear? Or just style points =p - I understand it's supposed to be difficult but I am also color blind and this puts me in a bit of an irritating position.” Survivor, Wolfpack22 asks, Since we're getting gas mask soon will you be adding chemical weapons like mustard or chlorine gas, I would love to see a gas that cause debuffs to players that don't have there mask on and that wild and tamed Dino's find offensive to smell and cause them to leave the area for a time it would be great for fending off gigas from you base or area. Survivor, BaconR8Colby asks, “Something that I would really love to see implemented in Ark is some kind of multi-world/map system for Local Hosting. Similar to Minecraft. When "The Center" was added this essentially gives 2 maps/world's to play on which is great. But it would be nice to have several Island maps or several Center maps. That way if I wanted to pursue a variety of game styles or building locations the option would be there without messing up my main map/world. Thanks for hearing me out! “ Survivor, MeSDatGeek asks, “Will we get proper stairs, without having to rely on mods? This has been a pretty big topic for a lot of us. It is something that many of us feel should be added to a game such as this as a default building feature.” Survivor, Tamaster asks, “Can we please, please, please get server logs for destroying structures? Make them optional if needed just please!” Survivor, ChiOokami asks, “Will Ark ever receive colorblind support. It's hard to distinguish between the different drop colors. A simple name when looked at through a spyglass would be sufficient.” Survivor, Adamsmasher asks, “What about a scroll option to move a desired piece (i.e. fence foundations) to all the different snap points it can see?” Survivor, Direwolf asks, “Do you have a specific release date for Primal Survival Mode, or is it not yet set?” Featured Fanart!

Ced: "Welcome to another week of the mod spotlight! This week I'm with PommieGamer, the creator of the Homing Pigeon! Welcome! So this mod seems like it took off. I saw when it was released in late March and a few weeks later it was in the most popular mods. Tell me a little about yourself. Do you have a background in game design?" Ced: Well the success is much deserved. I think you tapped into functionality that many people have been looking for in the main game. For those who aren't aware of the mod, briefly explain what it is and what your goal for the mod is. Ced: It sounds like you have a lot planned for the future of this mod! I can tell you that I'll definitely have my eye out for it. Its something that a lot of people wanted in the main game. Who knows, maybe this will become an official mod! I can definitely see the purpose for it. So what helped you get started in the development kit? Ced: "Thanks for that awesome resource!! I'm sure that will help get some people started. So do you have any plans for any other mods or do you plan on investing most if your time into this one. Any other cool ideas?" Ced: "Ah I love the suspense.. Well I think that wraps it up for this community crunch! Any parting words?" That’s it for this week’s post guys!

  6. Hello Survivors! Anniversary Week! And boy, has it already been one we won’t forget :P! There’s been a lot of exciting additions in the recent patch, some which have been worked on for a while and you guys have been waiting for - and some others which required some extra work. We hope you’ll be able to enjoy the content and mechanics that were released :). We'll keep on iterating based upon your feedback and what we see in game. There has been some pretty solid ideas and in future passes hopefully we'll be able to expand the system some further and possibly incorporate some of those ideas. I know it sometimes may seem like you don't think we read the feedback, but we definitely do and hope that you continue to provide it so we're able to make changes. Let’s work together to make ARK a great game! There was a lot released in the patch, so if you haven’t had a chance to take a look at our detailed notes here: Some of the new additions that you should try out and that we’re really looking to hear your feedback on would be: The Dragon Arena Interactive Baby Taming No Offline Raiding! We’ve even set up some Official Servers running this setting! Just search for Offline on your PC Session List. And let us know what you think :)! Survivors League The ARK: Survival of the Fittest May Survivor League Championship matches will take place from 11 am EST to 2 pm EST on Saturday, June 4, with a bounty of more than $65,000 in prizes to that day’s winners! The championship games will be shoutcasted by streaming personality BikeMan. These matches will be invite-only -- based on the top-ranked players for May 2016. Check https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/survivor-league/ to see who will be participating! We invite all ARK fans, and the newly curious, to come watch the epic battles at that time on our Twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/survivetheark! For those that may not yet be familiar with ARK: Survival of the Fittest (http://steamcommunity.com/app/407530), it is a free multiplayer online survival arena (M.O.S.A.) game that pits combatants against one another in battle arena-style competitions within a closed battlefield, where a continually shrinking “ring of death” will push survivors into an epic final showdown with only one “Tribe” making it out alive. The survivors must not only compete against other survivors, but against the harsh environment, unpredictable 'Evolution Events', and ARK's many dangerous creatures as well. To those competing: may fortune smile upon you, brave Survivors! And we hope the rest of you guys tune in and support the contestants as the duke it out to become the fittest survivor! ARK Digest Q&A Here is our question and answer session with Lead Designer, Lead Programmer, Co-Creative Director of ARK: Survival Evolved, and Co-Founder of Studio Wildcard: Jeremy "Drake" Stieglitz! In a manner of speaking! Yes, the ambient sounds are going to get a serious pass by our great new audio designer, Stephen Baker. Yeah I’ll go ahead and unclamp the map difficulty setting coming up. There will be physical disc versions of the game available sometime after it launches digitally, on all platforms. Yep. We’ll go ahead and finally get them in July I plan to merge up the Xbox’s nice controller support in the next couple months. It’ll be a structure you make with the Tek Tier specifically. Yeah I’ll go ahead expose a Crafting Speed Multiplier to servers, as we did in SotF. Yes the new game/server options will be added to the Xbox version soon. That’s an amusing idea as a server option, though It might be best left to a mod or TC however, where it would not be particularly difficult to do. It’s been tempting whether or not to introduce such “buffs” from gear. I have generally tried to stay away from that since it’s very abstract, but maybe is worth exploring. Will further consider it. Yep, one of the big points about the redwoods are to build Ewok-style treehouses on them using a new “attached platform” building system Yeah I’ll make some options to affect this. There will be some player-based limited-flight capabilities coming up. Will make it a client option next week. Yeah, will add that. Yeah I’ll add wild creatures only, carnivores only, herbivores only, and some other targeting options for Turrets soon. Sounds like a good idea, I’ll make it happen. I’ll add a slider to adjust their size! I’ll definitely go ahead and do it for Bosses, as those are timed battles it’s very important to know how effective you are. For regular Dinos, I think there are mods which add that, right? I’ve been thinking about that. It’s not a technical challenge, but it might be very unbalancing. Will continue debating it. Fan Feature! How an RP Player deals with Swamp Fever! [by Tombness] Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Original: http://imgur.com/a/kmjEE Awesome way to see it being handled, really glad RP players are able to incorporate the new mechanics into their gameplay - it’s very exciting to read and watch :).

  8. Hello Survivors! Today we have a bunch of announcements, news, and reminders for all of you. This is going to be a big post, so buckle your seatbelts! International Modding Contest It’s Ced here, and it’s been an exciting few months as we’ve been amazed by the sheer creativity and ingenuity of the modding community. We’ve had the pleasure of experiencing survival on the moon, building massive race tracks, having epic battles in tribe warfare, and enjoying some fantastic views on many of the breath-taking maps that were submitted to our second mod contest. We are blown away by the talent of the modding community and are forever grateful for the efforts of those who bring these custom experiences to all ARK players worldwide - and soon Xbox. It was no easy feat to pick the winning entries for this mod contest due to growth of the talent level and understanding of the development kit. We are excited for the future of modding and look forward to seeing what the community has in store for the future! Instead of the traditional workshop spotlight this week, I will be doing a video review of each of the winners in preparation for next week’s community crunch. Subscribe to our YouTube workshop channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JMp0pkBGfxDCS34bHRmcw if you’d rather not wait to see all of the finished videos in next week’s community crunch. Without further ado, here are the winners! PRIZES Seventeen (17) prizes will be awarded. 1st thru 5th, places for each category and honorable mention for the mods and maps category: 1st Place: $10,000 in each category 2nd Place: $5,000 in each category 3rd Place: $3,000 in each category 4th Place: $2,000 in each category 5th Place: $1,000 in each category 6th Place Honorable Mention: $750 in each category $64,500 TOTAL PRIZE POOL! MAPS #1 - Valhalla (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=504122600) You wouldn’t be able to tell the map is only 80% complete if you’ve ever had the pleasure of exploring Valhalla. With land mass and water area 6 times that of the normal island, it’s enough to keep you exploring for days. The amount of work that went into creating this map is nothing to underestimate. Beautiful vistas and abundant areas of exploration makes this a community and dev favorite! #2 - Roraima (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=547828060) Although Roraima doesn’t have the following of some of the other maps in the workshop, it absolutely blew us away! The naturalistic land formations and the strategic layout of this map makes it a standout entry in the category. While it isn’t as big as some of the other maps, it is clearly a map that makes you feel like you’ve been transported to a real-life area in the world. The team were literally shocked at the natural beauty in this map. #3 - Umassoura (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=661176650) Ummassoura is another massive map that is a truly unique entry in the map category. We were taken back by the massive caves, breathtaking waterfalls, and diversity in the creatures that live in each of the uniquely placed biomes. The level of detail and care that was taken in creating this map was evident and greatly acknowledged by the team. #4 - Madagascar Evolved (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=656967911) There aren’t many maps that make you feel as if you are in a specific place in the world. We fell in love with Madagascar Evolved and its ability to accomplish this with its stylistic approach in its level design. Immediately we felt as if we were flown to a safari in the middle of Africa and left to survive with the vicious animals that call it home. We see a very bright future for Madagascar Evolved! #5 - WickWillow (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=645621998) Wick Willow gave us an unforgettable experience when exploring its unique set of biomes. Each biome is distinctly different from the next which provides for an interesting set of challenges and gameplay experiences. We walked away with an appreciation for the strategic vision that went into the creation of this stunning map. Honorable Mention - Epic Islands (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=600738253) We couldn't think of a better name to describe this map. It’s vast landmass provides the perfect opportunity for exploring and building an epic base. Although it’s still a work in progress, one can’t help but to imagine what this map will look like once it’s complete. I know we’ll be keeping our eye out! TOTAL CONVERSIONS #1 - Tribe Wars (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=547753876) Tribe wars is a thrilling game mode that offers a PVP-based experience that stays true to the core of what ARK is. The objective is simple; defend your flag while trying to destroy your enemies flag. The comprehensiveness of this total conversion and the talent that went into creating it did not go unnoticed. It is tons of fun and we had the pleasure of taking it for a spin! #2 - ARK Moon Survival (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=655080841) There isn’t enough that can be said about the creativity and talent that went into creating this Total Conversion. It’s an unbelievable entry and we were amazed by the user interface and subtle touches that were put into this experience. Although it’s an astonishing feat in its current state, we look forward to what other experiences that will be created while trying to survive on the Moon. #3 - Otherworld (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=631838798) This total conversion pits you against waves of terrifying creatures as you try to escape what is known as the Otherworld. It’s always nice to play a different game mode for ARK and Otherworld is one of the few that are available in the workshop. We loved the style of this entry with its distinct and unique level design. #4 - Cool 15 New Creatures (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=520275192) It’s always fun to see how modders use existing content and modify it to create new experiences. Cool 13 New Creatures gives an exciting new way to look at some of the ARK creatures you’ve grown to know and love! MODS #1 - Advanced Architecture Mod (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=539464369) Taking the top vote in the category, the Advanced Architecture mod is one of the most popular builder based mods in the workshop. We had a blast building castles and experiencing a royal setting while reviewing it! #2 - NPC Bush Peoples (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=570371714) This was, hands down, one of our favorite mods to review. NPC Bush Peoples allows you to spawn a collection of humans to enhance your current ARK experience. We were impressed with the level of talent that it takes to pull this off and are looking forward to the exciting future of this mod. #3 - Annunaki Genesis (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=538986229) There are enough balance changes and additions in this mod to make you think it were a Total Conversion. The support from the community is undeniable and after reviewing this mod we understand why. There aren’t really words to describe the experience this mod gives so we suggest you go check it out for yourself! #4 - Dino Racing: Evolved (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=626642159) I think all of us at one point thought of reliving our Mario Kart racing adventures. Dino Racing: Evolved, is a completely customizable way of creating a race track that’s perfect for server events. This entry definitely lets us know that someone knows there way around the development kit. #5 - MRRadTools.INC Content Pack (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=497432858) With a lot of competition in the structure/building types of mods, it’s hard to stand out in the crowd. Well, MRRadTools.INC Content Pack is clearly one of the standouts! Each asset displays his amazing artistry and level of detail he takes in his work. It blends very well with the current game and deserves a place in the winner's circle. Honorable Mention: Ark Futurism (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=612504284) ARK Futurism explores the advanced and futuristic side of survival on the island. With tons of unique and beautifully made assets, we had to make sure that the work of this modder did not go unnoticed. The Center Boss Fight Contest! For Official server The Center players, we're giving away $1000 cash, $500 to the first Xbox tribe and another $500 to the first PC tribe to beat both bosses on an Official PVP server. Screenshot proof of the pause menu in the boss arena including server name, as well as the items received from defeating the bosses must be provided! You can upload your images to our forums, and write a comment down below with the screenshots. Good luck! The Center Servers! It’s been an extremely busy couple of weeks for everyone here at Studio Wildcard as we prepared for the release of our new map, The Center. The excitement and reception for this release has been overwhelming, and we’re all very glad you’re enjoying it as an officially supported map. Today we will putting up more The Center servers for Xbox. We were unfortunately limited in the past in that the session list would not display over a certain number of servers, which is also why some servers have temporarily gone missing. Even if we put up more servers, no one would be able to see them and that would not be good! Players have asked us about Hardcore servers, Primitive servers etc, and we see those requests. Until now we have been primarily focusing on PvP and PvE with the main focus on PvP. But don't worry Hardcore, Extinction, and Primitive players, you should also be seeing some of these server on TheCenter soon! Map Biome Changes! Reminder that the expected release of the map biome changes is May the 30th! Here is some additional information about this, including an updated map, in our last digest: Digest Q&A! Here is our question and answer session with Lead Designer, Lead Programmer, and Co-Creative Director: Jeremy "Drake" Stieglitz! Survivor, OnePotatoChip asks, “How much more in-depth is Ark's combat system going to be? Between both animals and people? Are we eventually going to see animals no longer clipping into each other, forming huddles of hide and hair? Critical hits? Death animations? Weak points?” Survivor, TXbangT asks, “In the more recent patch notes under "Breeding Mechanics Phase 2," Interactive Baby Raising was mentioned, what does that include? Will you have to play with you baby or keep it with its parents or the baby will not be as good as it could have been?” Survivor, LadyDeviedraasks, “Will it be possible to choose a follow distance for a tamed dino? I.E Follow Near/Follow Far so when dinos follow each other or follow the player, they don't clip into the player and cause them to be stuck inside the dino. With Quetzals following a player on another Quetzal, this would be very handy (especially if the following Quetzal is faster than the one that the player is riding). Untangling Quetzals while hovering almost at the sky limit takes quite the amount of skill.” Survivor, Huntzillaasks, “With bolas now released, is there the possibility of a higher end bola or a huge bola you can shoot from a catapult thing that can down a quetz to maybe make solo taming a quetz easier?” Survivor, CheezLoordasks, “Will there be chum for attracting aquatic carnivores? That could go along well with a new shark, as they are some of the most represented animals in the fossil record. (Possibly Hybodus, Helicoprion, or maybe Orthacanthus) Sorry, I know it's wishful thinking.” Survivor, Kaiju_Lordasks, “What kinds of creatures will be found exclusive to the redwood forests besides the moschops?” Survivor, Wulfsige85asks, “Will we see weapons like LMG, SMG, grenade launcher, carbines, axes, maces, two handed swords/axe/mace etc. or other variant types of the current weapons e.g. different types of assault rifles that are in the game get added someday?” Survivor, Wulfsige85asks, “Can you guys make it so that instead of only allow specified engrams (Xbox One) to disable specific engrams, its kinda tedious having to type in every engram you want to have except for like 2 or 4 you don't want.” Survivor, StephaniRabbitheartasks, “A lot of people would like to know if the Wild Card team is aware of the pillar problems on official PVE servers and if there are any plans to do something about it.” Survivor, BigDally asks, “Can we please get pole/bait fishing added to the core game? This is the one thing that I really feel is missing in order to fill out the RPG aspect of this game. I really enjoy doing this in other RPGs and would totally enjoy being able to gather specific baits, craft a fishing pole, and fish up different fish species from the various water types in the game. These new fish could only be obtainable by fishing, and contain different kinds of loot/meat for specific cooking recipes or other craft-able patterns. The possibilities here are all but endless and would add depth to an already highly immersive RPG. Devs, please, please, please consider adding this feature to the core game.” Survivor, Mendoza asks, “Can we get the ability to dress instantly in armour by simply clicking the right mouse button on each piece from our inventory?” Survivor, Huntzilla asks, “With the Arthropluera getting a "Turret" UI option to shoot and not move, can the Dilo also get this option, otherwise they kinda have no use to tame later in the game?” Survivor, Cleetuss asks, “Will there be a mechanic that has to do with your bond with your creature? For example, taming effectiveness, and amount you use them, or ride them, can give a bonus to stats? Maybe if you raise it from an egg, it is already very bonded to you (similar to taming effectiveness but for newborns)? Could make for some very interesting possibilities.” Survivor, TylerTheDoctorasks, “Do you have any plans for adding a private server setting that would allow structures phasing through objects, such as the terrain itself? This would make building much easier in some instances due to there not being a lot of flat land.” and Survivor, Survivor, Will asks, “We ever be able to build on the large rock features under the ocean? Some really great base possibilities on them.” Survivor, UNST3RBLICH asks, “Just to revisit a relevant point: It seems a little odd to the main artwork hosting two mounted survivors bearing weapons, but not be able to do this in game. I know the primary focus is on using dinos to attack, but when the main artwork used for the game features two mounted survivors holding a bow and a rifle, there's the obvious (and very reasonable) expectation that use of weapons while mounted would be available. So will we ever be able to [reasonably] use general weapons while mounted? I'm not talking about rocket launchers or anything, but weapons that could reasonably be used while riding a mount (i.e. spears, bows, lances, guns, bolas, etc).” Survivor, genie45 asks, “Will you implement nvidias ansel technology at release?” Survivor, SurvivorKitai asks, “Don't know if this has been asked but, a way to sort servers by map, as well as by region would be awesome, and cut down on list loading time for people with crappy DSL. Good job with the updates, you guys rock.” Survivor, ImpureFrost asks, “Will we see some sort of tree house building mechanics? Will the redwoods biome introduce any new structures?” Next we’ll be moving on to the Community Crunch segment! The Crunch is a weekly topic that consist of content to share, made by the community, for the community! As well as any little changes we want to make survivors aware about, which happen within our community. Fan Feature!

Congratulations to all our winners and if you’d like to take a look at what all the survivors submitted, you can do so here: Primitive Plus Developers Blog! Hey Primitive+’ers, I’ve been busy in the lab working on the next batch of updates that I’m sure you’ll like. Last week the gunpowder barrel went off with a blast I enjoyed hearing your experiences of controlled (and uncontrolled) demolition adventures out there on the island. This next update will focus on polishing off the custom structures that Primitive+ offers and adds a new set - Adobe. This set will be made of clay and offer protection against hyperthermia. Keep in mind that Primitive+ is still very much a work in progress. If you are using it or playing on official servers, there will be times of frustration followed by moments of delight - followed by more frustration. Anyone that follows me on Twitter (@complexminded), or pay attention to the progression of the mod knows that I am passionate and committed to making this the best primitive-based solution for the game. Soon you will start to see the amount of content die down as I look to balance some of the existing items in the game. I’ll be honest and say a lot of things need to be balanced and there are quite a few things that need to be fixed. Getting most of the content I want in the game is critical as we look to move to XBox and ensure that everything is in tip top shape for our console players. Basically, you are my test subjects My much loved test subjects. Back to the lab - I’ll keep it short for this week! Until next time!! That’s it for this week’s Crunch guys! As always if you’ve got anything to share please get in touch and be sure to follow us on Twitter at @survivetheark - Facebook at www.facebook.com/survivetheark and Reddit at www.reddit.com/r/playark Thanks everyone!

  9. Hello Survivors! Welcome to Community Crunch 46! The Crunch is a weekly topic that consist of content to share, made by the community, for the community! As well as any little changes we want to make survivors aware about, which happen within our community. To start off, I have a bit of news to share that I know many of you are eager to hear more information about. Map Biome Changes! This is the updated biome map of The Island to include the new Redwood Forests (in red) and the updated Snow Extension (blue). There are also changes made to the Swamp biome (green). There have been substantial terrain changes made to the red area on the map, so your course of action in this area should be to pack up all valuables and evacuate the area in preparation for PC patch v241 (ETA: May 30). The extended snow area should not have any major terrain changes, but there is a possibility of new rocks and trees that have the potential to destroy parts of bases, or spawn on top of tames and destroy them. It is in your best interest to remove valuables from these areas and relocate back in if you desire after the biome change takes place. Anything within the changing biome areas has the potential to be deleted and lost. We’re very excited for these map changes to take place and we hope to have some more things to share in the coming week. I think you’ll really enjoy them and the variety it will add to the Island! Digest Q&A! We're combining this weeks Crunch with ARK Digest 30. Here is a question and answer session with Lead Designer, Lead Programmer, and Co-Creative Director: Jeremy "Drake" Stieglitz! Survivor, Neizan asks, “Can you tell us more about: Tribe Member Rankings with Customizable Per-Rank Privileges?” Survivor, TheBohrokKiller asks, “Will the Spino and Baryonyx prefer fish meat/prime fish meat over regular meat/prime meat?” Survivor, PhilinDeblanc asks, “Will my character ever grow facial hair? Maybe implement a set razors that you can use to shave/style it. It would be a great trick to play on my tribe mates while they're offline.” Survivor, PrimeEvil asks, “Do you still expect to launch the game in June? Survivor, Moonagi asks, “Will there ever be a dinosaur breeding stat? For instance when having dinosaur farms and my dinosaurs level up I could put points into a stat for faster egg laying? Maybe even make fertile eggs hatch faster if you have a high mating stated dinosaur mother/father?” Survivor, Syrade asks, “We haven't heard anything about the procedural generation of ARK yet how is that coming along?” Survivor, FaneBlackwing asks, “Coffee. Yay, or nay?” Survivor, DahDerpasaur asks, “PC split screen is still confirmed right?” Survivor, Paralker2121 asks, “How big will the Baryonyx be in comparison to a carno or a tyrannosaurus?” Survivor, tomb asks, “I would love to be able to be able to set my flowers and turrets to only target wild creatures. I know a lot of people don't think this is a very needed setting. But I mostly play on RP servers and I like to have players visiting me. But I do also like to protect my tames from wild argents. So any chance we can get a "Only Target Wild" for Plant Species X and Auto turrets?” Survivor, OnePotatoChip asks, “Will Primitive servers ever be able to make use of Element?” Survivor, Brobattington the Undying asks, “Can we please get a wall-mounted Coelacanth to put in our bases?” Survivor, KingOfBronzodia asks, “Are corals going to be harvestable some day...? they could used like underwater berries for taming sea creatures or recipies.” Survivor, FaneBlackwing asks, “Would it be possible to add a server option that allows server owners to customize what drops in loot crates? I think this would be a really great addition that could make RP servers even more interesting with them having 'themed' loot crates.” Survivor, ItsRedMark says, “It would be awesome if in the ocean, there was a sunken obelisk, covered in kelp, the tip pointing out of the surface, with a podium to summon an ocean boss” Survivor, mizz asks, “Will gigantosarus be able to bite through trees like rexes please please pleease?” Survivor, MasterHolister asks, “With the Center map coming to Xbox, for those of us with a Non-Official Dedicated Server, will there be an option to save data for the island, but still start a new world on the Center?” Fan Feature!

Congratulations to all our winners and if you’d like to take a look at what all the survivors submitted, you can do so here: Workshop Spotlight! This week we take a look with Cedric at the ARK: Moon Survival Total Conversion in a video review: Primitive+ Developers Blog! Greetings Survivors! Cedric here again. A lot has been happening in the world of Primitive+ in the past week. I received a lot of feedback about having one of the official servers converted to a server running The Center with custom rates. It seems like it’s something the fans want; and what the fans want, they get Server 1 will be converted to The Center and Primitive+ with custom rates. The rates that will be used aren’t set in stone so feel free to chime in on what you think is a good balance of fun but still feels like surviving. The content for Primitive+ 1.4 is pretty massive. I’ve introduced fishing in the form of setting traps. Now you can make fish bait out of poultry and place fishing traps in the ocean to catch the bounty of the sea. Be aware, just like normal fishing you never know when something is going to bite. So keep checking back! To go along with the fishing traps, I’ve introduced a fishing-styled boat to accompany it. For all the PVP’ers out there, I’m beginning to introduce more weaponry and methods of defending your bases. First in the line is the longbow. It has much more damage, is more accurate, and will fire at faster speeds than a crossbow or normal bow. The tradeoff is that you’ll need beeswax and leather to craft this mighty bow. In the future, don't be surprised to see a more primitive catapult and trebuchet! For all the RP’ers out there, I’ve created some market stalls for you to make shop with. The market stalls and the crates that can be placed on them can all be picked up. I’m hoping to see some really cool marketplaces soon! Along with the new content, I will always be improving the art and models that go into the mod. A lot of things that are added are temporary placeholders until I get more time to refine them. The water tower made it into the remodel list this week Last but not least I’d like to thank Itsr2ghgaming for his help in reaching out to the community and trying to help keep me organized in an effort to bring you the best Primitive+ ever! I’ll be looking to do weekly content drops up until July to get ready for Xbox. Get ready for some fun…. And bugs Cedric ----- And with that concludes this week’s Crunch! If you’ve got anything to share with us please get in touch, we’d love to see your creations.

  10. Hello Survivors! Welcome to Community Crunch 47! The Crunch is a weekly topic that consist of content to share, made by the community, for the community! As well as any little changes we want to make survivors aware about, which happen within our community. Official Mods Program Debut: The Center So, you might think this isn’t a community update - but it is! The Center originally started out, similarly to Primitive+, as a Community-made mod! During PAX East 2016 we were excited to announce that both The Center and Primitive+ would be making it’s way officially to both the console and PC version of the game! Well the time has come, a lot of hard-work has gone into the map from the team and we’re super excited about launching it on Xbox in the coming week! We hope you guys enjoy playing through this visually stunning mod, that adds an over-the-top, fantasy-themed map that doubles the size of the current game with tons of new biomes, including snow and volcanic, caves so large in size that they have their own living eco-system, floating islands, end-of-the-world waterfalls, massive ancient ruins, along with other wonders to explore and secrets to find! Awesome right?! ARK: Biome Changes! (Yes.. I'm mentioning it again, just so everyone is made aware of the change, haha!) In the last Community Crunch we posted some upcoming changes to the Biomes. That map was a little confusing as it included the new sizes of all the biomes, as opposed to the changes itself - and following that, we've gone ahead and made some further changes to what that turned out to be. Here are the new biome changes: The Old Snow Biome has received some changes, the extent of which is difficult to quantify, it is closer to a touch-up as opposed to a re-do. There is a chance this could affect bases in that location, which is why we wanted to include it on the map to give you guys the option as to whether to relocate or not, however it is also likely that they are not significant enough to cause you any disruption. The other highlighted areas, are areas of change. The swamp isn't being made into a tiny small piece, it is still rather large - it's just a far majority of it will be unaffected by this map change, which is why it is not highlighted on the map - however the areas that are highlighted, will change. We try to avoid making drastic map changes as we know it can be unsettling for players to have to be concerned about relocating their base, however sometimes we have to go ahead and make those changes for the development of the game. We apologize if this does cause any inconvenience and we really hope you enjoy the upcoming biome changes Don't worry if it's a little confusing! We'll be updating the in-game environment with 3D markers indicating areas that will be undergoing a change!

This week we take a look with Cedric at the Madagascar Evolved map for ARK! Cedric: So I'm here with Itsr2ghgaming, one of the developers on the Madagascar Evolved map! Hey man! I just checked out your map and I must say, there's some cool things you guys are working on. Why don't you tell us a little about yourself and the other developer that works on this! Cedric: That's awesome man! I love to see fellow modders working together! So is game design/development something that you want to pursue at the next level of your education? If not, what do you plan on studying? What made you want to get involved in the ARK modding scene? Cedric: Detective!? I may need your business card in the future So how did Madagascar Evolved come about? I did a video review of it and its one of the maps that actually feel like you've been dropped in a real live location. Is that something you both were going for Cedric: It really is! There was a point when I was reviewing when I had hoped to see a pack of lions!! So being 6 weeks into the development, are there certain things you focus on first?? What are your next steps for the map? Cedric: Well it sounds like you've got a good plan and the community seems to be in love with this map! I know I will be making sure I keep my eyes on it. Is there any advice you would give to other people wanting to get involved with level design with the ARK Development Kit? Cedric: Well it's been fun chatting with you. I'm sure we'll all be hearing a lot from you. Any parting words for the fans or Wildcard? Primitive Plus Developers Blog! That’s it for this week’s Crunch guys!

Congratulations to all our winners and if you’d like to take a look at what all the survivors submitted, you can do so here: Workshop Spotlight This weeks Workshop Spotlight is brought to you by Cedric, our Mod Liason. Take it away, Ced! Workshopper: Swords http://steamcommunity.com/id/weirdguythatsmiles/myworkshopfiles/ (Before we get started, we have a new Youtube channel called "ARK: Workshop". On this channel you can expect to see me embarrassing myself and covering some of the latest mods in the Ark Community. It's a channel dedicated to the modding community and will feature interviews, reviews, and events that are going on within the community So hit that subscribe button if that's something you're interested in seeing! ) Hey fellow survivors! Cedric here with my first ever workshop spotlight and community member Samson F. Hey Samson, It's been awhile since we heard from you. Jat covered some of your work earlier on when the dev kit was still new but you've obviously had a lot more time and experience. For anyone that doesn't know you, give yourself an introduction. Don't be modest, I wouldn't!! Oh you're in Seattle!?! We'll have to grab coffee sometime!! I'm actually glad it doesn't log hours "played" in the dev kit like the Steam version did. So we at the office, had a blast playing with your NPC mod. It seems like it has went through several iterations and changes since its first debut. Tell us a little about what the mod is and you're inspiration for making it! It's interesting you say that because when I gave this a spin to test it out, I actually thought I logged into a server for a second. There were chat bubble heads on the NPC's!! It shows how much thought and work you put into this! It's crazy you had no prior experience. Explain what it's been like learning by trial and error. Is it discouraging? That takes some dedication! Well the hard work definitely shows. As far as the mod goes, what are some of the future plans you have for it?? After playing it, I can see so many possibilities. From people who just want to add some indigenous-like tribes that were native to the island, to people who want to wage all out NPC wars (like me!!!). What are your short term and long term goals? Not a bad idea! Preparing for the worst case scenario so every scenario becomes the best scenario because you've handled all the "worst"? Or something like that Well I must say the work you have done is very impressive. I can't wait to see where this goes considering how much progress you've made already. Are there any specific resources or guides that you would like to point fellow modders out to? Maybe something that helped you along the way. Picture search.... now why didn't I think of that?? Well it's been fun Samson! I genuinely had a blast checking out the NPC mod and we have a video walk-through for all those interested. I highly suggest you give it a shot because it will definitely surprise and amuse you. I'll be looking forward to that cup of joe! Samson, any last words or thanks? Primitive+ Developers Blog Hello my fellow Primitive+ fans! Cedric here again. Lots has been going on behind the scenes since we last talked! The mod is starting to gather quite the following and several people have reached out to me for help with blueprints or art for the mod. If you’d like to pitch in, reach out to me and let me know what your expertise is! I’ve been working on some of remodelling (walls, cement mixer, apiary some of the structures that I know will make it into the final cut. You’ll start to see some of the models change to reflect a more permanent state. The snap points and sizing issues on the structures that have been plaguing people will be solved with these structure remodels! I’ve been trying to polish off the current content before adding some of the new ideas but things like balance changes will be a constant evolution. Be sure to keep informing me when someone power levels on wood planks or takes down a fortress with a machete In the very near future, you will start to see more concepts vs. structures and resources. An example of this is a chance for sickness. Another one being food deterioration. To support the idea of sickness, there needs to be a window or transition for consumables to go from fresh to spoiled where currently there is not. These are just a few of the things that are the drawing board. In the next update there will be a new item added, the berry press. With this, you’ll have an additional step when you are looking to make a cup of wine for your next dinner party. The advantage is you’ll be able to make all types of cocktails with berries Stimbull energy drink anyone!?! Until next time! - Ced Thanks Cedric for this weeks Workshop Spotlight, and for taking us through the Primitive+ development! And with that concludes this week’s Crunch! If you happened to have missed it, make sure to check out yesterday's ARK Digest. If you’ve got anything to share with us please get in touch, we’d love to see your creations. Be sure to follow us on Twitter at @survivetheark - Facebook at www.facebook.com/survivetheark and Reddit at www.reddit.com/r/playark Thanks everyone, see you again soon! Much love, Wildcard Jen and the ARK Survival Evolved Team View full article
  13. Congratulations to all the winners who placed in our first Survivor League ever! It’s been an exciting time for ARK SotF players and we saw a wide variety of strategy used. Emotions ran high and the final list of players we have ended with are as follows; They have earned a place in the Survivor League archive as well as their share of $64,800 in cash! The prizes are broken down as such: 1st Place: $3500 2nd Place: $2500 3rd Place: $1800 4th Place: $1650 5th Place: $1500 6th Place: $1350 7th Place: $1200 8th Place: $1050 9th Place: $900 10th Place: $750 We’ll be reaching out to the winners over the coming days to collect the information required to get your prizes sent out to you! Look out for contact made by Jat! In the case where players share the same score but different rank, both will be awarded with the higher-cash prize. So in this case, both Cirar - Frittest Mayo and PedroSaltana[Ralph] will receive the prize for first place and then it will skip to Sr. Dinch in third place. So yes, the prize pool will be higher this month! Upcoming changes made to SotF and Survivor League Survivor League will officially go on halt until May the 1st 2016 where we’ll begin the next round of games. This will include a soft-reset which will not affect your wins, but your other stats so your progress towards the Giga will be kept in-tact! We will be making further changes to Survivor League which will be announced fairly soon, those changes will in-fact not take place until June’s Survivor League to adhere to our 30-day policy. We will also be introducing Blind Matchmaking to the game within the next few days, we will use the period from now until the 1st of May to heavily iterate on it and make any changes that are necessary to matchmaking, as well as possible adjustments to how Scores are calculated for matches, to ensure that skilful players are being rewarded sufficiently for demonstrating their ability as the Fittest Survivors. We are also super excited to announce that shortly we will be introducing Grappling Hooks to Survival of the Fittest! We are eager to see the new game play mechanics that this will bring into the game and how players will make use of this new form of maneuverability during combat. With the excitement of future tournaments, our main-game mode designed around tournament-play will be receiving a graphical overhaul as well as a rename. 6-Player mode will now be known as Tournament Mode and it will automatically enable and enforce higher-graphical settings to make the game more competitive. These settings will be also used during our upcoming Official Tournaments, so players will now be able to get closer to a high-end competitive-experience when playing matches of this type. We want to ensure that you guys are able to train in the environments that you will compete in so we will attempt to recreate the exact Official Tournament specifications as much as possible, starting with this change. Disqualification, Sportsmanship and the future of Survival of the Fittest Over the past few weeks we have had a lot of reports concerning the sportsmanship and behaviour of players in Survival of the Fittest throughout the community. We understand that in the heat of the competition, emotions can get the best of us. We would like to remind all players to ensure that they have respect for each other during the games, you do not have to enjoy the company of the people you’re playing against, however there is no need to hurl verbal insults or harass members of the community, one which you’re a part of. We would like to make it clear that in future circumstances, players found showing a poor sense of sportsmanship may risk being banned from Survival of the Fittest. Throughout this first month we have had to disqualify players due to heavy abuse of the matchmaking system when engaging in competitive matches. Players were found to be manipulating lobbies and exploiting the mechanics in an unintended way to gain an unfair advantage over their opponents. As stated in the FAQ, Studio Wildcard holds the authority and discretion to determine what gaining an unfair advantage would be and we will step in if necessary, like we have with this round of Survivor League. Players who were removed from April’s rankings will only suffer a one-time reset. They are still permitted to participate in future rounds, as well as tournaments but continuous abuse and manipulation of the system will result in absolute disqualification. We want to harbour a good environment where players are playing at the best and fairly. The game is still growing and it is subject to a lot of change based on these kinds of issues and feedback from the SotF community; with your help we can make sure that we’re able to achieve this. As a free competitive game, the future of Survival of the Fittest lives by this community. For Survival of the Fittest to succeed, we need the community’s help by promoting the game, encouraging their friends to play it, helping out new players, giving us solid feedback on how to improve and working with us to make a better game. We really value your commitment and dedication to the game, and we want to ensure that we can make it grow and for Survival of the Fittest to be as special as you all wish it to be. Let’s work together to foster a positive community and a great competitive scene! Thank you everyone for participating in April’s Survivor League! The next round of Survivor League will begin on May the 1st and will include the Grappling Hook, Blind Matchmaking and more (Giga...). We’re looking forward to seeing all SotF survivors play and continue to refine their strategies, skills, and teamwork! All the best, Wildcard Jat and the ARK: Survival of the Fittest Team.

For all the entries and all the screenshots, be sure to check out this thread: Workshop Spotlight! Hey Survivors, it's Ced here with Mezzo who created the Dino Racing Evolved Mod. First off, congrats on making the top 10 in the mod contest!! I know everyone here at the office was really impressed with your work. So tell me a little about yourself! What's a day in the life of Mezzo like? Awesome! I haven’t been to Germany! Will you be my tour guide!?! A lot of people don’t know you are part of the crew that manages the Discord chat. Tell everyone a little about what inspired the channel. I'd agree, it has turned out to be one of the best modding resources I've seen so far. So let's talk shop! I'm a huge fan of your racing mod!! What was the inspiration for it and how much time have you invested into it so far? Oh it's absolutely obvious how much time has been put into it. It is loaded with features and functionality. The ability to create your own race, laps, and customize when the race starts will go over really well with the community! So you spoke about being happy with the mod, what are some of things you aren't happy with or some things you'd like to add? Well I'm sure we'll all be looking forward to it! I suggest everyone go and give it a shot, you won't be disappointed! All right Mezzo I'm sure we'll be chatting more in the Discord channel! Oh! I forgot to mention Mezzo is a "Dev Kit Master" - special recognition and thanks from WildCard. Use your powers wisely ? Any parting words for Wildcard or the community? PrimitivePlus Developers Blog Greetings fellow survivors. There’s been a lot going on behind the scenes with the development of Primitive + but I’d like to take a few seconds to address a few things. First, my sincere thanks to all the followers and support you’ve been showing! There have been some unresolved issues with the official servers that host Primitive +. The servers aren't showing in the in-game browser even though they are, in fact, live. Please do not think for a second that the server issues somehow mean Wildcard isn’t supporting this mod anymore. That can’t be further from the truth! The truth is that everyone here at the office is busy with PAX and making sure that it’s the best experience for those that are able to check it out. Unfortunately, that means some things have to take the back seat for the moment while we focus our efforts on the show. Bear with me as I reorient myself and prepare to release a pretty epic update. The next update will include many things that have been requested and a lot of touch-up work on the existing models. As I finalize some of the art I will look to refine the balance (resources, damage) on the custom additions and work to include a class-based system that allows for specializations. Be sure to keep an eye on the official Trello board as many bigger gameplay changes are in the pipeline. Be sure to follow me, @complexminded, on twitter for the most up-to-date information and report any bugs/issues you are seeing. Talk to you soon! Ced. That’s it for this week’s Crunch guys!

Workshopper: evilmrfrank The Center - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=614734500 Hey! Thanks for joining us! Could you introduce yourself to the community and let us know about the mods you're working on? Welcome Ben! Your map has caused quite a stir in the ARK Community! Tell us more about The Center! What's the story? and what were you inspired by? That sounds awesome and very ambitious, I like it! After doing the research and beginning the creative process is there time spent on planning it out in advance, or are you just going with the flow and designing and making the map as you go along? When Survivors are playing on The Center, will they be able to experience a lot of different environments and by that I mean is there a wide variety of biomes available for them to explore? There’s a quite a lot for Survivors to see then! How difficult was it to create something like The Center? The Center itself is a pretty unique design, do you take balance into consideration, or are you just aiming for it to look as beautiful as can be? I’m sure many of the PvP players are pleased to hear that! Not just a visually stunning map but one that takes balance into consideration too! There are a lot of beautiful objects in The Center, were any created by you, or have you mostly been using content already provided or from the UE4 Marketplace? And how about the long-term goals for The Center? Is there going to be a "100% completion point" and will you continue working on it post mod-contest? How about plans for additional ARKs in the future? Is there something else you'd like to work on after completing The Center? Awesome, cannot wait to see the progression! Speaking of which, is there anything you’re working on which you can tease us about? I imagine you’ve spent a lot of time sifting through the DK to get The Center to where it currently is, how are you finding the process so far? How are you finding working with the ARK Dev kit and do you have any prior modding experience? Wow, you’ve been around for quite a while! Big fan of the UT series here ;). Do you have any tips for upcoming modders on what they can do when working with UE4 and ARK itself? Good advice! Is there anything you’d like to end with before wrapping this up? Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this and good luck with the rest of the map! Can’t wait to see how it grows and for those of you who want to see a great trailer of The Center, Ben has created one showing it’s progression at 75% completion!

  16. Welcome to the 41st issue of the Community Crunch! To those unaware this is a topic which primarily consist of content to share, made by the community, for the community! As well as any little changes I want to make survivors aware about, which happen within our community ;). Survivors! Earlier this year we were thrilled to announce the first challenge for modders with our very first ARK International Mod Contest! Putting content creators, new and old, to the test through making their own ARK Mod. Contest Extension! The initial submission period has now changed due to work taking place on another major announcement this week, so we will be extending the entry-period for contests for a little longer. The new date for submissions ending period is the following: · Submission: April the 1st This means that now you’ll have more time to work on your ARKs, nifty items, customized creatures or gameplay modes! We’re very excited and cannot wait to see it all. For those of you who want to take part in the contest, there’s still time! To start developing your ARK mod, use the ARK Dev Kit, a streamlined version of the UE4 Editor, to simplify the creation and sharing process of ARK: Survival Evolved which is available to download now for free via the Epic Games Launcher at http://www.unrealengine.com. All entries must be submitted here by the final submission date and the winners will be announced on May the 15th 2016, after finalist voting, spotlight and judging rounds. And here’s what you’ve got a shot at winning… Mod Contest Prizing Fifteen (15) prizes will be awarded. 1st through 5th places for each category (Best Mod, Best Map, and Best Total Conversion): 1st Place: $10,000 in each category 2nd Place: $5,000 in each category 3rd Place: $3,000 in each category 4th Place: $2,000 in each category 5th Place: $1,000 in each category So good luck to all Survivors who enter, we simply cannot wait to see what you cook up! (Existing Mods/Maps/TC’s and previous Contest winners are, of course, welcome to enter!) Primitive+ Developers Blog from our Community Mod Liaison, Cedric! Hey fellow survivors! I’ve been busy brainstorming on new things to aid you in your quest to survive out there on the island. The past few weeks have been great and the feedback I’m getting is invaluable. I want to remind everyone that Primitive+ will have stability issues and the official servers are subject to more instability than the traditional ARK game. Why? It’s a total conversion that changes the way ARK operates at it’s core. Also because I make mistakes. It’s easy to think that because it has “official” servers that it’s invulnerable to hiccups and bumps along the road. As Primitive+ matures, you will see it become much more stable and bugs/issues will be minor rather than major. But make no mistake, while it may be a rocky ride at times it will be one of the best roller-coasters you’ll ever ride To keep up with the fast pace of the mod, I’ve started a https://trello.com/b/l8cnNQ04/primitive to help you keep track of what I’m working on. It’s really the only way I know what I’m working on! That will always be the most up to date information you can find. In addition, I started a Reddit page for fans to share some of these awesome primitive setups I’ve been seeing. Feel free to share some of your tips for adjusting to the Primitive+ lifestyle. And if you still want more, I’ve also started a Discord where you can come and hang out! I think those that have been following this mod know my passion for seeing it become the only primitive experience. In future blogs, I’ll be bringing you behind the scenes access to some of the new things that will be added to the mod. You’ll be seeing some of the art and the inspiration for the content that’s being added. Coming soon you will be able make a new longbow, bake cookies, and even make a little mead with all that honey you’ve been hoarding. Oh, and be sure to take care when cooking all those new delicacies. You never know, you could find yourself ill and in need of a remedy ;-).

Could you introduce yourself to the community and let us know about the mods you're working on? For those who haven’t heard of the Otherworld, do you think you could tell us what it is? How very exciting! We’ve been very keen to play these sort of mods for ARK. Big fan of the old WC3 mods so it’s nice to see them starting to show up in our workshop! For someone who hasn’t experienced this type of game mode yet, what can they expect to see playing through it? That sounds like a lot of fun! From what we can see so far, it does look really cool. Tell us more about the combat. How many waves will players need to fight through? And after they have successfully completed all the waves, is the game complete or is there more to do? This sounds like an awesome experience and I cannot wait to try it out! What sort of modifications did you have to make for the game-mode? Are the dinos rebalanced? Stat adjustments? New weapons? Sounds like a lot of work has gone into this so far, awesome! Do you plan on updating the total conversion or have you completed it? Planning any upcoming features? Fantastic! Really excited to see how the mod progresses. Tell us more about your experience with modding. How are you finding the process so far? How are you finding working with the ARK Dev kit? Well for a first mod, this is a job well done! Keep it up guys! Do you have any tips for upcoming modders on what they can do when working with UE4 and ARK itself? And finally, is there anything you’d like to end with before wrapping this up? Awesome! Thanks a lot Skellig! That’s it for this week’s Crunch guys!

Or myth related?” Survivor, Oliver266 asks, “Will we see more pack animals such as the compy!” Survivor, Samula asks, “Will I get a giant rideable bunny for Easter?” Survivor, RaptorJesus asks, “Spino roar: It's in the dev kit, it was an option for the 3D Prints, why is it not ingame yet? (would love to see it)” Survivor, The7thSpartan21 asks, “ Any chance of a friends list being added to the ark main menu on xbox? It'd be nice to see what servers your friends are on so they can be joined more easily (:” Survivor, TheToboogan asks, “I was wondering if it will be possible to edit all the different dedicated server modifiers on the Xbox one like the PC.” Survivor, Garall asks, “Will we have an improved narcotic later on ? carrying and remote using like 500 seems a lot” Survivor, Garall also asks, “Will we have an item or a dino that makes vegetables grow faster?” Survivor, Neizan asks, “Can you add bleeding (decreasing HP) feature? I want see this hability on thezirino attacks” Survivor, Scriffignano asks, “This game has a fantastic mix of well known and not so well known dinosaurs.

Could add an interesting dynamic.” Survivor, Tex asks, “Could server admins please have a .ini option to disable the Alpha/Giga stone damage ability? DinoStoneDamage=False” Survivor, Cjmshadow89 asks, “Will there be a possibility for small bugs and lizards roaming the forests? Small fish in the rivers and ocean? These little creatures are just visual and don't reward you anything. They just add to the aesthetics of the game. Just an idea.” Survivor, Sarlexz asks, “Hi, will the game preview on the Xbox one be available in sweden?” Survivor, clvrgalileo asks, “May have missed it but did someone chime in about whether or not we would have to buy the game again when the final edition comes out?” Survivor, Bl00di3knuckl3z asks, “Fire i know was previously talked about being weaponised, how would we do this? Would we use oil to mix with arrows for Fire arrows? And oil in hide to possibly make flaming swords? That would be awesome!!” Survivor, Bl00di3knuckl3z also asks, “Narcotics is a pain in the booty to make waiting for meat to spoil; but more because it takes so long to make in a mortar and pestal in bulk because berries spoil so fast in there. I believes in a previous ark digest you mentioned Making a Chem set will this work for bulk narcotics, or will we have a new mixture for them to be made easier, or more powerful narcotics to make super tranquilizer darts. That could maybe be used in a fabricated sniper rifle? Or even an assault rifle style tranq gun that would be super cool!” Survivor, Olympus_United asks, “Are you going to be reviewing the spawn areas of particular dinosaurs? I'm sure that the many large therapods on the island would avoid integration and keep to their own respective regions.” Survivor, JasonB asks, “Will you guys be adding bolas into the game? A low tier weapon that can temporarily drop players and small creatures. Will help with those that flee in the early game.” Survivor, JasonB asks, “Any details you can give us on that other than diseases regarding Survival Phase 2?“ Survivor, fergdaddy asks, “How big will the giant squid be? Either in a unit measurement estimate or in comparison to another animal in the game, whatever works.” Survivor, Nina asks, “With the mating bonus symbols (the hearts), can they be different shades of red to indicate whether the mated dino is male or female? Whenever I nicely line up my dinos and a wild argent or something scatters them, it's a pain to run up close enough to each one and see what their gender is.” Survivor, PermaBanThis asks, “Another question I have, with the Tek Tier and underwater sealed bases coming in, have there been any thoughts to include a primitive submarine? Such as, The Turtle (Picture below)?” Survivor, benjaminjredmond asks, “Quick Question, When the Dire Bear is released could we get a Bear Skin Rug to place in our base? Would look really good with the Fireplace that you guys released a little while ago.” Survivor, Kaprodonychus asks, “I was reading ark digest 26 and you mentioned breeding phase 2. Care to elaborate on what happens in phase 2” Survivor, The Scarlet Devil asks, “Will the oceans around the Ark become deeper- as in a real abyss; with freezing temperatures, true pitch-black water and bizarre and terrifying animals only found there?” Survivor, NineVoltDevil asks, “Can you please add more crops. We now need a fertilizer item sink now that we have beetles.” Survivor, DemonDJ Jr asks, “With to introduction of passenger saddles, will creatures such as mammoths & T-rex's eventually get passenger saddles, and will larger creatures be able to hold more than 3 passengers?” Survivor, ryanmc15 asks, “Could we have more settings for xbox one single player? spoil timers etc” Survivor, cels asks, “With tribe alliances. Will there also be a separate chat channel as to only message to those who are part of the alliance?” Survivor, ToxicantFuture3 asks, “How will the grappling hooks work? I am really interested. Will we be able to shoot it at structures and climb the rope, or can we shoot it at cliffs and climb the cliffs? I would really like to rock climb.” That’s it for this week’s Community Crunch and ARK Digest guys!

Thanks for joining us. Could you introduce yourself to the community and let us know what you’re currently working on? You have created a large number of mods already! Do each of them serve a different purpose to the ARK and which would you say you’ve enjoyed working on the most? Marble floors anyone? This was done by a couple of good friends of mine Linda and her sister Vickie, they are gods with using the blocks lol. If anyone wants to see some of the amazing things they have built or just like to build yourself feel free to join their server and have some fun just search in the server browser for: The Amazons. What kind of features and updates do you have planned for Building Xtras? For the Building Xtras mod we plan on adding in a large set of primitive, norse, medieval style buildables of all kinds so please be on the lookout for those. They will include everything from furniture to possibly pre built structures for everyone to build in or even make a city out of ;). Oh wow that sounds pretty cool! Can’t wait to see it’s addition to the mod. You’ve clearly added quite a lot of extra items and structures to ARK, have you been doing this with balance in consideration, or are you aiming for a more creative-style of gameplay? I would say we have had both in mind when creating the structures because we wanted to add in a ton of things ranging from primitive to very modern and everything in between so that everyone has something they can use in the mod but also in doing so I didn’t want to release mods with a bunch of structures that do nothing I wanted everything to have a use in some way, so it does, you can even put trash in the trash can. I am the type of gamer that needs challenge or the game gets boring for me so all the things that people consider OP in the game are just another challenge for me to overcome and I love it. With that being said we have also tried to keep things balanced in game with our mods so things are not to easy to make but also hard enough to make if they do something really helpful if that makes any type of since lol sorry I can ramble off sometimes because I am very passionate in what I do. That’s very fine, you don’t need to apologize! It’s good to be passionate and we’re happy that you’re so passionate about working on ARK! So tell us, how does this passion influence your creative process when you plan on making a new mod or adding a new structure or item to the game? Do you look for ideas from the community or has this just come from playing the game and being inspired through your experience? Honestly it's a bit of all of that I have used ideas given to me many times by the community and also have been in game and was like "hmmmm I wish this was like this or we had this" and boom we get to making it lol. Carwash and I have been hosting game servers and modding/scripting/coding different games for almost seven years now so the experience always helps as well. We are pretty random and funny we will just be playing the game and think of something very stupid and out of the box and think of how stupid or funny it would be if we saw something like this in game and it's all about fun and laughs for us so random things will make it in our mods like "Dave" for instance, I made him in an attempt to scare carwash and she ended up loving it and trolling me with him for hours so I put it in the mod lol. That's basically how things happen for us if we think it's fun or funny you will see it in a mod usually and we are open to all types of suggestions because that's how things thrive by giving the people what they want, which is why I love you guys you really listen to the community about things even when some can be rude or very immature about things. I say keep up the good work and don't change a thing it's a reason the game has sold so many copies. Cheers, we appreciate the kind words ;). Speaking of the community, what has their feedback and response been in regards to your Xtra series? When the mod first released it exploded with positive feedback I didn't expect it to take off like it did because this started off as just a Christmas present for someone very special to me and now about two months later it has over 30k subs and still growing and i'm still amazed by it all. We pride ourselves on making mods the right way with little to no bugs no matter how big or small the mod is, so when it first released of course there were a few small bugs but we got those fixed right away and people seem to love the fact that we are so responsive and supportive to what the community needs or wants but to us it's just normal. We like to help people and give them something fun to play with and we are gamers at heart so we can see it from both perspectives and if something needs to be fixed or changed or added we will always look into it. We will never just brush something off when someone brings it to our attention because we are not those type of people. There I go rambling again lol but to answer your question, the mod has had crazy positive feedback and it just keeps coming and we love it =). Excellent to hear that they love it so much! Could you expand more on the long-term goals for the mods, you mentioned additional structure pieces earlier from different periods? Our long term goal for the mod is to have many different era's of structures to build so if someone wants a Roman themed or a Norse themed server they can have that just by downloading our mod. We also plan to release a Mod/Expansion for every holiday that comes up this year, you can already download the Valentine Xtras mod now to get ready for Valentines Day because its right around the corner. Oh and everyone has seemed to love the fish tank that we have released in the mod and I just wanna say be on the lookout for our new terrarium which will be releasing soon. Awesome, so you’ve got that to look forward to guys! Now you mentioned you had some development experience earlier, could you tell us more about that? Well as i mentioned before I have been modding for almost 7 years with various different games such as arma and the DayZ mod so I am very in tune with how things work and can usually find my way around issues pretty easy if I just work with it. The Ark Dev Kit is new to me although I have messed around with unreal engine in the past a little I'm still finding myself learning new things all the time and that's what i love about it. The dev kit is amazing and actually is really easy to get the hang of once you get going, although I wish it and the game would get upgraded to version 4.10 instead of 4.51 but hey I can live with it and I know it would take an entire rehaul of the game to do so I’m not betting on that happening anytime soon lol. Haha, we do merge-in the critical updates as we go along :p. As someone with a lot of experience, what advice would you give to new modders on what they can do when working with UE4 and ARK itself? To all the new modders out there all I have to say is don't be afraid of the dev kit from the first look it can look scary hard to use but it's really not the devs have made it very easy for us to use. I say if you have an idea make it come to life it just takes some time and dedication and the rest will come. With that being said I have wanted to help the community learn the dev kit more and I noticed a lot of the tutorials out there are very outdated so we have started up our new tutorial series on our youtube which helps all the beginners out there get started and if you stay tuned you will be able to make mods like anyone else in no time. Here is the link to our first tutorial video - Link to the channel itself - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2AagxXD1I8CTEyba5bLqqw Also for everyone that loves to see all the new dinos and content the devs have brewing you should take a visit to our channel as well we have all the new up and coming things on there that are in the dev kit before they are released just to give everyone that may not be able to use the dev kit yet an early look. That’s awesome! I’m sure people will appreciate your tutorials, as well as all our secrets you reveal :P. Now is there anything you’d like to say before wrapping this up? I want to say thanks for having me and I hope all goes well with the game because we are loving it so far. I wanna let everyone know that we are working on something very big to add to the mod for the modding contest and we hope it will help push the mod to a top five spot =) I just wanna say we love all the support and hope we can get as many votes as subs lol but if not it doesn't matter we do this for fun and for the community so regardless we will keep bringing you guys tons of mods because we can see that you enjoy it just as much as we do =). I do wanna give you guys an idea of what we are working on adding before the modding contest but ummmmm well I think a picture would be better, after all they do say a thousand words right And there is way more than just that Wow, that’s awesome!

Thanks for joining us! Do you think you could introduce yourself to the community, and let us know about what you're currently working on? A giant egg Tell us more about Eggrasic Park, what sort of mod is it, where did you get the idea for it and what are your thoughts about the future of the mod? The Original Arena Being an in-game structure, it required some degree of protection….. Punchable loot-box; filled by an admin to copy loadouts into each of the gladiators' inventories without needing to spawn a new set of items for each player Beast Vault The new arena Arena floor detail Obsidian statues atop the ramparts View from within the victors’ balcony Archery Range Hidden location of first egg "Onyxia", the obsidian raptor (you'll note a fair few WoW references within the mod…) An old iteration of the shop nodes; they've seen QUITE an interface change since this! Current shop node interface (pending graphical & UI improvements) That is an incredible amount of information and work you’ve done so far! Thank you for being so detailed in your answer. It’s very impressive. Something that I want to enquire about which had come up during our Alienware Spotlight stream was that different teams had a difference in terms of what they could get/start with and the inventories too. I believe we had selected which weapons we’d go through to try and make the fight more balanced. Could you explain how you expect the arena to be played out and how you’ll do work on balancing? Gladiator Beasts Cheers for the insight! It would be a shame to lose your precious Sunday shoes, that’s for sure. It’ll be interesting to see how battles play out, perhaps people will enforce their own rules for their specific servers. Sp Spanj. is there anything else you’ve got up your sleeve in terms of Eggrasic Park’s core-features? Bridge to the bank Inside the bank vault You’ve done quite a lot so far and we’re really looking forward to the progression of the mod. How is your experience with modding? With what you’ve done so far - this doesn’t look like your first project, you’ve clearly got some skills! As a large total conversion creator, do you have any tips for upcoming modders on what they can do when working with UE4 and ARK itself? This. This is the worst that can happen. See guys? That’s the worst that can happen! Not scary at all :). Thanks for the tips buddy! Is there anything you’d like to end with before wrapping this up? Come join us at the arena soon!

Thanks for joining us! Do you think you could introduce yourself to the community, and let us know about what you're currently working on? Tell us more about Judgemental Armory, what sort of mod is it, where did you get the idea for it and what are your thoughts about the future of the mod? It’s looking great so far! What types of things do you have planned in terms of Judgemental Armory’s core-features? You have mentioned your inspiration for the armor is from Fire Emblem. What about that and ARK made you want to combine the two? Is there anything else that inspires you? We’re glad you chose our game to get creative with! How do you plan to balance it your armor and weapons within the world of ARK? How will they stand up to enemy players and creatures, and compare to armor and weapons currently in the game? You’ve expressed interested in the role-play potential of your mod - It seems like there is a lot of room for play here outside the practical uses for the armor! Oh! You’ve got to share a bit more now that you’ve teased that. Exciting! Can’t wait to check those out too! Tell us more about your experience with modding. How are you finding the process so far? How are you finding working with the ARK Dev kit? What is your creative process like when working on a new idea? Do you work on one idea start to finish or do you jump back and forth between multiple ideas as the inspiration strikes you? How have you found the feedback and response been like from the community so far? I’m sure they’ll appreciate that, in terms of giving back - do you have any tips for upcoming modders on what they can do when working with UE4 and ARK itself? And finally, is there anything you’d like to wrap up with? Thank you Rinku! That’s it for this week’s Crunch guys! As always if you’ve got anything to share please get in touch and be sure to follow us on Twitter at @survivetheark - Facebook at www.facebook.com/survivetheark and Reddit at www.reddit.com/r/playark Thanks everyone!

Workshoppers: Psycho, Alice, and Mick Workshop Item: Annunaki Genesis http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=538986229 Survivors, this week we're joined by Psycho, Alice, and Mick and they're here to answer some questions and talk about their mod with us. Thanks for joining us! Do you think you could introduce yourself to the community, and let us know more about what you're currently working on? Tell us more about Annunaki Genesis, how would you describe the mod to those who haven't played it yet? Very exciting! I'm sure there are a lot of Survivors that would love the opportunity to ride a Dodo. How about the long-term goals for the mod? Are you planning to continuously update it and do you have any cool features planned? Fair enough! I won't make you spill all the beans ;). Now you've mentioned that it's a complete overhaul to the spawn tables, creatures and the core-settings of the game. I imagine this requires a lot of balance, can you share that process with us? You guys have clearly put a lot of thought and work into this, and constantly patching, I like the sound of that :P. Now tell us more about your experience with modding, is this your first venture? How are you finding the process so far? Awesome! You guys have been around for a while then. Also great to hear that the Community is working together through this :). Do you have any advice you'd like share with those who are just getting started with modding and using the ADK? Fantastic! Thanks for the advice, and is there anything you'd like to say before wrapping this up? Cheers! That’s it for this week’s Crunch guys!
