Tek industrial Forge Ark official needs a Tek Industrial Forge like on S Plus

Back to start after update. All saved game content lost Both my kids where looking forward to playing Ark again after our holiday. An update was available which they applied. After starting the game they saw they lost all their saved levels/content and where back to level 1. You can imagine what this means for teenage boys! I saw we are not the only ones having this problem after the update. Please fix this asap!

Help! Valguero erased!! Currently playing on singleplayer in xbox, a week or so ago ark had an update, So I updated it, only to have both mine and my friends singleplayer data on valguero gone. We still had our survivors that we could respawn* with, but everything else, including my tames, buildings, and items were gone. I wasn't too bothered because I'm not too emotional or whatever you would call it towards this, I was planning to restart it anyway. I really just didn't care that much. So I made some really good progress in the past 2-3 days on valguero, i had a nice base, decent tames and had just gotten to around fabricator level, and as I was opening ark to play, it said it needed an update. The update was fairly quick and only took about a minute. I opened ark again and got into my valguero, only to be taken to the death screen, only this time with my OLD character from before it got reset. So I spawn in and I spawn in creative mode for some reason? I spawned a Griffin and checked where my base places were from both before and after it was wiped, and the buildings were gone. All of the tribe logs from before valguero was wiped for the first time are there, but there is nothing physically there, like when it showed my deinonychus I claimed but there is no actual deinonychus. Is there a way to fix this? I miss my stuff

Dungeon week 3: The Marshy Hollows feedback Jul2-Jul8 This week’s dungeon has some notability right off the bat. Reminder my feedback is from a brutal server. Challenge room creatures have doubled in level this week in most rooms from 450 to 900. There is now a huge issue on bringing eerie creatures back to revive. Server max level limits are 600. These challenge room creatures are all over level 600. This is now excluding content from us. EDIT2: They revive at level 1. It isn’t a total exclusion, but it does seem a bit unfair for people who aren’t admins/SPs with god console. It also eliminates stat variety in taming them. This dungeon is about 3-4 times more difficult than last week’s dungeon. I have no problem with increased difficulty... EXCEPT that rewards do not reflect this change. Still only 10 element for soloing a brutal dungeon. Still only apprentice blueprints 5-10 times weaker than the equipment I need to beat the dungeon. I am glad to get higher than primitive quality saddles of those not typically rewarded from caves or free gifts (e.g. kapro, platforms, procoptodon). Hell, I prefer to only have saddle bps (or new potions) over the other useless apprentice equipment that can’t compare to cave rewards. I get a cutlass from a chest... I’m using an ascendant sword with 671 damage, what’s the point of that cutlass now? The juggernaut iguanadon room has a fall through the map bug. This is completely unfair still. We need a mechanic to fix this so free entries and amber entries aren’t going to waste. Maybe a teleport back to the starting room of the dungeon? I’m not even going to risk trying the lava room because the timing is still off, and I hate falling through the map 90% of the times I try. Any issues/bugs/improvements I missed please post so we can help get the game where it needs to be for everyone. No whining/begging. More to come as I explore further. EDIT: The differently sized creatures have issues meshing into and onto us to where half of our attacks do not hit them because we are inside their hit boxes. There are already issues with guns hitting the targets properly but this also affects melee weapons and this meshing may be what’s pushing us through the floor of the dungeon. Dungeon creatures need to follow the same attack distance as surface ones, but if you increase their size then you need to increase this distance proportionally to avoid this issue. EDIT3: 20+ runs and no journeyman chestpiece yet.

what do you think about the new tek quetzal I'm so happy about it!!

Mods update Day To all ark modders or anyone who has decision making regarding ark mod updates. I like to suggest a specific day for updateing mods. Monday or Friday, or waht ever day it is. On modded servers with more mods it so terrible to see every mod updated on different days and hours, need to restart servers for updated in order for people to play on. Best regards. Please let me know what you think.

Update put a giant rock on top of our base I can't seem to find any of the submit support options except for PC. Are these forums now the only place to report problems with xbox etc? Besides that, a large un-mineable Rock appeared where our base used to be after this last update. All beds are there, all players are inside, but spawning on beds causes players to randomly spawn at one of the public spawn points. Will not allow me to add pictures to this, gives me an error saying -200. File size is under .39MB.

After upgrading to Xbox One X, when you start Ark (if you do not skip Ark Intro), the xbox makes a strange noise. This only happens with Ark. Some of you have this "strange problem"?

When I charge the trike up it runs forward and then I strike the target. After some of my fights the trike is still trying to charge, but is getting thrown back and forth(like rubber banding). I can make it stop by un-mounting and re-mounting. Just a heads up.

I play on the Ragnarok map on Ark Survival Evolved, I spawned in a few aberattion creatures (Rock Drake, Basilisk, Glowtail) to try them out before i bought the dlc, And i have not despawned them/killed them yet. And ever since the update i am always crashing every 30 or so minutes back to the Xbox Dashboard and losing alot of progress causing me to have to do it all over again, which is extremely annoying and frustrating, even when using the "saveworld" command. If anyone has a possible solution to this let me know please, Also one last thing, I have already tried uninstalling the game and my account, i've tried clearing the cache, i've tried clearing peristant storage, i've tried hard reset, i've tried turning off and on normally. It still doesen't work, But for some reason other maps like the island do not have this issue and it seems to be a problem on Ragnarok only as far as i know. Any solutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. The Crash looks like this by the way; black screen and crash to dashboard. (not my video using for reference) P.S. (I tried deleting my save aswell, It didn't crash until i had about 40+ creatures and a fairly medium-small sized base with a few walls and about 50-60 tames inside, my base is at Viking Bay 1, On a offline singleplayer server, if that helps.)

Allow Dino's tamed on maps like Island, Ragnarok, etc to breed with Abberant Dino's from Abberation.

TLC passes I feel should be more abundant or at the least Wildcard should do ALOT of changes, bug fixes and such if TLC passes would take time in between. We all know they're not Microsoft or other big name publishers and I am patient but here are some glaring issues that bother me both as a gamer and lover of prehistoric animals. Ideas: • Biggest one is obvious. Some of the models of the creatures look...dated to put in words nicely. Hideously stupid to put harshly. The older creatures clearly look dated and even out of place in a game like Ark. Pteradons to me are the biggest offenders on land. And then there is that one guy we all know but dont want to talk about...the Plesiosaur. If you ever seen such a vile model or yet to see one, look no further. Its face alone is just so damn goofy and unrealistic and even looks lazily put. I know Wildcard had thought their creatures to look great and some do after small updates but...yeah. it's just hideous. My list of creatures that seriously need a model update or even new textures are the following: • Pteradon • Megalodon • Ichyosaur • Spiders • Onyc • Wooly mammoth • Rhinos • Monkey. • That Plesiosaur! Animals that just need a slightly update skin look or body shape are IMO the piranhas, dragonflies, ants and mosasaur. Function wise they've fine. I can see piranhas having more natural coloration and look, dragonflies and ants can look more natural and thinner look IMO. Make them more insect built. The mosa's tail for some reason always looks like fur to me texture wise. Something similar to JW would be cool. Behaviors. You ever watch the ocean to just take it all in or to make a screenshot of an awesome sunrise and stare at awe at godrays and all of a sudden...an Ichy jumps out to high and dies. And is stuck. In mid air. And that megalodon is stuck there biting at air. Forever. Enjoy that screencapture dude. Now I'm no student in biology but I'm pretty sure that prehistoric reptiles could BREATH. AIR. A manta, a fish, jumping out and takes damage doing so makes since. But an air breathing reptile just jumping out and just instantly dying is also just silly (funny but sill). So here are some mechanics and new little tidbits I think players in Ark could enjoy playing with or even watch. • Megalodons should go down deep underneath a target then bolt straight up and grab something in their mouths just like real great whites. I know cinematic kill animations would require rewriting coding and make it too cinematic but who doesn't want to see a giant shark leap out the ocean? • All sea animals you can tame should have a "leap out of water" feature. Air breathing animals should always have their heads up above water when not moving in water. A nice detail like that usually catches the eye of some extremely observant people (my self included). • Ichys should have a passive ability to push players either above or out water if said player is drowning or sinking due to exhaustion. They could also have an echolocation like real dolphins and parasaurs in game. • Megalodon and Piranhas become faster and more aggressive if player is injured or enters the water hurt.

PLS ARK STAFF I only have a switch to play ark on, and I want to play some scorched earth but I cant pls tell me when its coming

After today's patch for the Easter event (04/16/19), the forge items in prim+ that were supposed to be fixed are still broken. Ingredients can be put in the forge, but the items (glass, clay, steel) still cannot be made. However, ingredients CANNOT be put in the industrial forge at all. Also, the canteen that was bugged before is now completely missing from the engram menu, leaving the best water container to be the glass jar. Edit: I already tried destroying and replacing my forges. I reset my playstation. I reset my server several times. Nothing has helped. I even tried a new map with a new character. No luck

Hi wild card TheGekkoman85 here thismorning during your minor update something happened on offical servers were people that were in the process of jumping server came out the other sides with nothing in there inventory. This occered around 5.30 am EAST or 10+ GMT I got the message that servers will be doing rolling reastarts and waited till it ended. At the time i was trying to jump from 1065 to my OC 637 server with my 2 cryo gigas in my hot bar as well as a good shot gun and pike, i jumped ok to 637 but was like in the blue holding or loading screen there all items were at that point in my inventory i just had all blue stuff in my base as it had not loaded in. At this point 637 went down i could not access it in manue nor could i join it i assumed it was your update so waited when i got back in i was there but nothing was in my inventory not even the haz id been wearing at the time of loading in. When i got in i could not transfer my character to any other map not even 1065 were id had just come from. No gear or timers should have been there as it was first time i jumped back on arfter the night. Other people were on at the time on both 1065 and 637 seid thay lost inventory items as well. Wild card i am intrested to know if anything can be done as 3 weeks work had been lost in a matter of seconds. I ended up looseing 2 gigas father high imprint levels. 1 395m 96% imp giga and a 385m 94% imp giga imprinted to TheGekkoman85 were lost along with the 124 armmor saddles thay had on them is there any way of retreving them back!

So we have a server from gportal and when the homestead update came out the engrams showed up and I learned them. About 2 days later they where no longer listed for others the learn. I tried to craft the items and I can craft them but cam place them. Anyone have any ideas

So after building my tame motorboat build which i left my giga in for 5 hours while i slept turned into a nightmare. woke up, my motorboat had no more walls or ceilings, all my turrets are gone, giga and other tames were exposed... pardon my language but what the f ARE YOU GUYS DOING!!!!! I WANA PUNCH YOU GUYS IN THE FACE REALLY BADLY. Do you guys just wake up one morning and tell yourself , " how do we piss people off today " no matter what you guys come up with as long as you waste our time you will continue to piss us off and trash this game

Prepatch Fertilized eggs will hatch dinos requesting prepatch kibbles for imprint and are unable to be imprinted even if the player has said requested kibble. Fixed 5. Server latencey with freeze issue will cause players to "teleport" if caught in a freeze and can send players couple feet to hundreds or meters in horizontal directions based on direction currently aimed.

Unknown 13. Coop mode on host/local is having crashing issues. (starting a 2nd player on local has reports of crashing the game.) And many more that may not have been listed or added throught the posts in these thread. If you have information about a bug and can get in game proof as well with a clip or screenshot, do please add them to your post, a way to do this easily is with a site called https://xboxdvr.com You can link directly from you online dvred clips and screenshot to futher assist in helping the devs find this bugs. ()Wildcard owes our official server tribe 28 rexs and 2 yutys with 124 armor saddles. (update fixes crashing for the most part related to this paragraph) Post is below on why you shouldnt attempt unlocking the new tek s+ till they fix there broken update.

I got ark for the Nintendo switch when it first came out, and a few weeks ago the homestead update came out along with the kibble re-work, and I was wondering why the Nintendo switch did not get the update. Please let me know if you know if the Nintendo switch will get any updates at all, and when. Thank you in advance!

Ark keeps crashing when playing on a nitrado rag dedicated server. After a while the screen turns black and a couple of seconds later you return to your xbox home. You need to start Ark again en connect to the server. Does anyone else has this problem? All people on the server are having the same problem. The game isn't playable if it keeps crashing and you keep dying because you fall of you Wyvern or drown Is this problem server related or a bug in Ark?

For those who play Ark: Mobile, which dinos should the devs put in the next big update? What else should they add? Personally, I think they should [eventually] add Thylacoleos. Tapejaras are quite useful, but they are extremely hard to find and tame. I know the Thylacoleos are rare as well, but it would be nice to have those big-toothed fluffballs around, especially for PvP! It would also be really cool if the devs added DLC, although it would probably have to be paid for (but thats not much different from tbe PC/Xbox/PS4 versions, obviously) What are your thoughts/opinions?

Hey y’all, I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to be putting this, but is anyone else “missing” craftable items from the homestead update? Specifically; I’m thinking about triangular and flexible structures that should be crafted with a smithy. I purchased the engrams, but they didn’t show up in my smithy. There may be more items like that, but those are the ones that I can think of now. Or am I just not looking in the right place? I don’t know if this makes a difference, but I’m playing on Xbox one; doing single player on The Center.

So I trying to play on a server that has recently updated to the current patch of 293.104. However my game client will not update to that patch. It is still on 293.103. I spent the better part of last night validating and revalidating all files and nothing seems to work. I read that there might be an issue with my DirectX drivers and I will go and verify that after work, but if anyone is having the same problem and has any ideas please let me know.
