Best difficulty? Bp Damage to Dino Health What is the best single player difficulty? Is there a difficulty where the weapon damage of blueprints is better, in ratio to the health of dinosaurs than the other difficulties. I am aware that blueprints scale with difficulty but if there is one that seems to be better than the others.

Does anyone know how to make it so you automatically unlock engrams on console? I've been trying to make a good ark PVP server but i can't figure out how to make it so you automatically unlock engrams on console.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to make a custom dino for ark and I'm stuck at texturing. So far, I did the normal map. I was wondering what's the process to create the other textures for the dino: in wich order do you make them ? My two hypothesis are: - create a diffuse and use it for specular, albedo and color ID - create the color ID first and then change the color to make my base color. Then have the albedo and specular done. Is one of those correct ? If not, what's the workflow ? Thanks in advance

Can I actually change stats per level on my Dino after I start So I recently made a new ark map on the center that is a little bit boosted and I tried (after playing for a bit) to try and bump up the weight given for each point on my Dino’s so that I could put points into other things and it wouldn’t work after attempting to put more points into weight. Thanks for the help

Selling paintings? Ok So I'm currently playing on an official "new" valguero PVE eu server and was wondering that if is there any way to sell paintings. Selling like going to a base place down canvasses there and ofc paint them. The only thing is that I cannot interact or do anything in other player bases, meaning I cannot paint. The question is that, is there any way of possibility to have an ability to build or just paint in other player's bases, ofc with their permission and understanding.

Chainsaw + Melee Damage = more harvest? I was checking around the forums, reddit, and basically the google search to try to find out if your own melee damage increases chainsaw damage output in terms of gathering meat and hide off of dinos. Any info is appreciated, but actual number would be nice. So far at 100% melee damage and a primitive chainsaw I can get about 400 meat, about 10-20 prime, and about 1200 hide off of a Bronto. Single Player mode.

[EPIC] Question about dedicated servers First, I want to preface this by saying do not tell me how to play with steam users, I do not care to play with Steam users. I literally only want to play with my husband who also got the free version from Epic. I would like to create a dedicated server for Ark on the Epic version. My husband and I both got the free version and want to play together. I have looked through the entire Ark master post but that only talks about "crossplay" which, again, I am not interested in. So, can someone PLEASE tell me how two Epic Games Store players can play Ark together on a dedicated server?

Time Capsule Servers Question So I couldn't really find it any where and I know the servers were just released as beta but I just had a few questions that I was wondering if anyone had the answers to. -When will they release officially on live servers? -Will our current characters on the beta transfer over by any chance? (Probably not) -Is the anyway to keep the standard server patch separate from the beta patch to avoid re-patching when switching between branches? (Most Important!)

How to transfer my SP settings to my Dedicated sv Hello everyone, I used to play SP but I'm changing to a Cluster so I can move between maps quicker. I'm setting up Ark Server manager rn even though I'm gonna play by myself, problem is: I modified a lot of the rates (xp, maturation, imprinting) and most important single item harvest rates, I wanna keep 'em exactly like they are, is there any way I can kinda "copy and paste" all my text files of settings to the cluster? If so, which ones I need to copy and where do I paste? Thnks you!

What's a good mature speed & cuddle interval amount? I was breeding some direwolves and while doing so i realized i was only getting like 5% imprint every time i cuddled with the baby, my mature speed amount was maybe about 50 so it's impossible to get a 100% imprint, so i made several different changes for a while to my config and none of them were good and i just can't find the correct settings for a 100% imprint without the mature speed taking forever. (10-20 mins is forever to me.) So i'm asking people for their advice, whats your recommended stats for baby mature speed + baby cuddle interval? BTW I'm looking to end up with a 100% imprint within 1-6 mins. Thanks!

Where should I go to farm hexagons in genesis? Hi, I am a member of an established Tribe. I want to farm hexagons, what is the best way to do so on official? I have access to pretty much any dino, but want to get hexagons for crafting materials. How do you guys normally do it?

Groups of corrupted dinos do more damage? I don't really know yet if this also applies to uncorrupted creatures, but doing an OSD I noticed that groups of corrupted dilos only took like 27 damage from my high level imprinted x-rex, whilst they did like 200-300 damage per bite to me. The same happened when I tried fighting corrupted trikes, with me only doing 27 damage and they doing up to around 600 damage per hit to me. I've already asked my server's owner if they changed anything and they said no, it should be the same as usual. Anyone have the same issue, or does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks

Is there a command to teleport creatures? So, I was flying on quetzal with a house on it. On the top of the house, were my utility creatures. However, when I got off my quetz the creatures were gone. I looked and looked over the places I flew, and I could not find my animals. Is there any way to teleport them to me or a better way to find them? I'm using singleplayer ps4 so all options are available to me, including cheats.
