I’m level 71 and I’ve learned less than half of what’s available, is that normal? There’s so many important stuff I’m yet to learn, and I have been rather conservative on what I spend my engrams on. I am running the latest version on iOS, playing single player mode.

Ok so I know this must have been said before but I really thing there should be more engram points or at least allow surviovors to get more than normal in the expansions so they can have items fro m the island and the items from all the expansions I also think it should be possible to unlock all engrams because you dont want to just program all these great things into the game and then make it so players cannot use them all the points could be hard to get (just not insane, like get every achivment or find all explorer notes on all maps) but there should be the option for the dedicated players to unlock all the things this great game has to offer

So I know PC has a line option you can put in the ini to auto learn engrams which is useful for single player any chance we could get this option to auto learn engrams for PS4 and Xbox?

This issue makes the game unplayable. Restarted playing today, died, after revive, 22 points of engrams were unlearned, but I was not given back the points. I don't know whether restarting game did this, or dying, but suspect the former. EDIT: Rebooted 5 minutes ago and restarted game and now ALL Engrams are gone, and 0 Points. Please fix and restore points. Single Player LG V20 Android 7.0 Lots of memory Connected to Google Play Other issues: * Breathing volume is way too high when running * Nights are too long for mobile game, especially when u are starting and no torch. Bad new player experience. And no gamma settings available. * Quest chain resets * Fonts too small * Can'stsee my survivor during character creation and in inventory Good Stuff * Marker back to bags and other quality of life improvements * Well thought out controls * Amazing graphics and that you were able to bring this rich experience to mobile is a major accomplishment!

Is anyone else experiencing a problem where you learn an engram and when you leave the game and come back the engram you learned has been forgotten but the points you used are still gone. From what i have noticed i have lost about 5 or 6 engrams. I just learned the Electrical Generator and i took a break for about a hour and when i came back it was unlearned even though i had already crafted one. 24 points i need to use again. Im afraid to learn any new engrams now like the electrical cables which i believe are about 16 points each. It would be a shame to have to relearn all of those. I am playing solo and I am on version 0.52 downloaded from the canadian app store on ios.

I wish there was a way to apply a birthday suit skin to gloves, or a way to make items invisible in game. I want the cool effects of the tek glove, but I dont want to show the gloves on my hand.

Does anyone know when/if the engramhidden option for OverrideNamedEngramEntries removes the engram as a prerequisite? I have RemoveEngramPreReq=false on everyline.

Hi, so I've been trying to replace the default engrams with their S+ counterparts. I can make the lines I need to put into game.ini fine but I've run into a very strange error:OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_ThatchFloor_C",EngramLevelRequirement=1,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramHidden=false,RemoveEngramPreReq=false)OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Campfire_C",EngramLevelRequirement=1,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramHidden=false,RemoveEngramPreReq=false)When I have these two lines in the server the top engram (thatch foundation) appears as a lvl 1 engram with a cost of 0 and prerequisites are working for the S+ foundation. The second engram (the campfire) however doesn't appear at all but the prerequisites still work and the cost is 0.Now the end goal ideally is for all the engrams to work as the campfire does but its a mystery to me as to why this line functions like this as from what I can see its supposed to be visible and making the thatch foundation invisible seems to remove it as a prerequisite?I've checked to make sure that there isn't a duplicate campfire line that could be interfering and messed with the order and formatting of the lines anyway I could think of to make sure it wasn't something weird like that.If anyone can see whats wrong/knows what I need to do to get the engrams working I'd appreciate the help thanks. I do know that some people have attempted to do a similar conversion in the past but couldn't find an up to date one. (especially one that doesn't just remove all the engrams and then add them back in 1 by 1) Game.ini

Ty for reading first off. Friend and i are renting a server on Nitrado for ark. i adjusted all the setting so its boosted. Now, i attempted to change the engrams and i screwed it all up now. i changed the amount of engrams it cost's to unlock the shield and thats it. When i loaded the server on ps4, the only engrams i have is the shied and the shield alone. i went back to nitrado and took of the adjustment and re loaded server. Its gone but now i have nothing. clicking default setting and restarting server on the site still does nothing. i tried pressing default setting on both engram entries and the one that says " with names " i restarted character knowing im losing everything and ya, i lost my house and still no engrams. Anyone know how to put engrams back on without entering the value for everyone. thats my only solution so far but its gunna take about 2 hours cause the page refresh's after changing a setting. Thanks for reading and for the support. once its fixed and u wanna play search " Ca - admin recruiting "

@complexminded @Jatheish @Jen Any news on the update you promised earlier this month to fix the engrams and other problems on primitive+?

When I started my nitrado server i wanted the engrams to auto unlock and so now ill be telling you how to make this happen on your nitrado server for xbox,pc or ps4 servers. So first if you want engrams to auto unlock make sure that you are under general then turn on expert settings and save changes now under the settings tab there should be a tab called expert settings you click that now there should be a slide box that says gameusersettings.ini change that to game.ini now scroll all the way down till to the bottom click at the ned of the last setting there and hit enter and type bAutoUnlockAllEngrams=true this will allow you to unlock every engram at your level when leveling up but if you spam something into like stamina the screen will be filled with the learning of the engrams also when you reach level 100 or higher you will unlock all the tea engrams i do not know how to fix this but if you use this be aware of that. Also make sure your server was stopped when you changed the settings in the game.ini and if your server is stopped there will be an option to save changes. This is all you need to know if you want to make your engrams to auto unlock in your server. Let me know if this was helpful and bye.

Ark needs some end game love. We need more engrams at the end game level. We have done cool tek gear and have industrial forges and chem benches it's time to give us a reason to use such vast amounts of resources. We need some new end game content. Here is a thread for some end game content ideas.

Hi there can any tell me why, after playing Single Player, the character I was using was gone, and also any skins I have achieved are gone as well. My structures and dinos are still there, but my character is gone. After doing the alpha for the Tek Cave, I went through the whole thing and also the end credits, I went to start up and my character wasn't there to download. Can someone tell me what might have happened also I am on PS4. Thank you guys.

My Question is. What code do I enter in my game.ini file to unlock all the engrams that correspond to their level WITHOUT unlocking all the Dev. engrams?

Hey all! So we have a dedicated server on our home PC running the Windows 10 copy of Ark. The server account (PC) only has the basic ark game, where as myself has the complete dlc collection too. I noticed last night that I couldn't build a windmill which is a SC Engram. Does this mean that I'd have to buy it on the server account to enable this? And in doing so would it prevent my girlfriend from joining & playing as she also only has the basic game? Any info would be great as it's Friday and a weekend of gaming is what the doctor called for!!

To be honest I don't like the actual leveling system. You have specific points for attributes and an other kind of point for engrams... And you have to unlock each engram separately, you can buy a wood door but still need to wait the next level to get the wood door frame... I also think that it's not as fun as it could be to get a new level... So here is my suggestion: I'm a big fan of Fallout 4 and I think that their leveling system is very good and could be a good way to combine attributes and engrams in the same leveling system. There are many big "category" (strength, agility, intelligence...) with many perks in each one. You have only one kind of "perk point" and you can invest it in the" big category" or in one subcategory. To put points in a sub category you need to have the right level AND enough points invested in the "big category". For example, if you want to unlock the third perks in the Strength category, you must already have a Strenght level of at least 3. If it's not clear, check on google "Fallout 4 perks and leveling" A good things with such a system is that, instead of unlocking each engrams on his own, you can just use your perk point to unlock "wood structures" and get all the basic wood structures at the same time. You can use this point to increase your stamina stat too, or unlock "advanced ranged weapons", or get a pickpocket ability similar to the pegomastax... It's also good because you have a maximum limit of point that can be invest in each category/perk. This way a level 50 player can't invest all his points in health but he can "max" the health (like 10 health upgrade) and then invest in something else, maybe more specific. I think that each character could be more specific in this way and it would be easier to organize tribe looking at a perks board instead of the whole stat+engrams things. This system could also be given to creatures, changing their stats and upgrading some ability with perks (wyvern shooting fire further or things like that...) but it would need an other breeding system too... This means that all creatures from one specie could have the same base/max stats. But to give sense to the breeding dynamic, babies of high level/stats creatures could be born with random already-unlocked perks (1-5) at level 1, as an inherit of their parents. This way players will stop breeding so much creatures, hitting servers caps, because they won't try to have a 99,9% perfects stats creature but they will breed creatures to get good "bonus perks". It's just an idea to rebalance the whole leveling/stats/breeding system... It's just a suggestion, based on my experience on both Fallout 4 and Ark and maybe many people think that the actual system is perfect, that's okay too. I'm just sharing ideas, maybe some players or dev will think that it's good... or not. No matter the advice, if you agree or disagree, don't be afraid to share your point of view on it ! [By the way, let's have a "charisma" or "social" category where you can put points to upgrade your tribe or tames cap. If you don't invest in it, you're forced to have only a smaller amount of tames or you can only join small tribes...]

So 2 suggestions: With the bookshelves, there's not much reason for them - so, what if they could hold twice as much storage for blueprints? Similar to how a beaver can carry twice as much wood, if a bookshelf could hold 2-3x more blueprints than other items. Also if the bookshelf could visually reflect a change based on how full it was it could be more decorative. Say at 25% capacity it there are a few books on the shelves, at 50% it would be half full, and 100% would have a more full look. Second suggestion: I love Ark, but one of the most disappointing aspects of the game for me was that I can't possibly discover everything in the game (without a bazillion tests) and I have to use the Wiki. My thinking is especially around kibble. There is no way to discover the ingredients needed for each one or what kibble works for what tame. It would be WAY more interesting if there was kibble information on the creature dossiers, or explorer notes with that information. (Just like the current recipe notes)

I've been having fun with Abberation on PS4 and I've collected around about 200 element from just the charge station but I just realised that I can't get tek on there. I'm not on a cluster server so i can't go over to the island and defeat the bosses, so basically i created what took me over 4 days to create and i cant even use it. what is the point in putting down a charge node and create element when you cant even use it on the map? Can ark just do an update in the future to make it so you can create a tek replicator somehow because you can gather all resources to make it.

This is my mortar and pestle, however the same is true with my fabricator and smithy. There is no crafting folder and the engrams button is grayed out. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you in advance.

After the latest update, I've been having (UI?) issues. When I hightlight a piece of armor, the box that pops up with the stats (duribility, hypo, etc) is no longer there. Same problem with engrams, blueprints, and broken gear. The box that's supposed to tell the materials needed to create\fix an item isn't appearing. Bought and downloaded Aberration. The box flashed the first time I tried to craft, and then never worked again. I've been on different servers, different maps, different characters. I'm having the same problem no matter what. I managed fine on Ragnarok, because everything was familiar. The most annoying thing was hoping 900 Chitin would repair my ascendant chestpiece. But it's awful on Aberration with the new engrams. None of my server fam is having the same problem. The only thing in common is my Xbox. Did something get corrupted in the update? Is there a solution? Fingers crossed I don't have to re-install! I might cry. 😢

I like to play Single Player, as i'm sure a lot of you like to do, multiplayer can get tedious after a short time, mostly because of other players. Yes multiplayer is an important part of the game and it is a lot of fun, part of what make it good is having to work together, you don't have this Engram maybe this person has it and will help you out and so on, but I mainly like to play single player like i said, but because you can get every engram in the game, single player can be frustrating, in my opinion it think it would be better to have an option to allow players to unlock all engrams themselves if they want, this would make single player butter i think and would also not change multiplayer if you don't want it to. what do you all think? is having just another option put in to be able to unlock all engrams a good idea, or not? would love your input.

On Ragnarok solo player my engrams disappeared from the Smithy?

I love P+ but I question if the game is even beatable without guns and riot armor let alone taming every tamable creature . I thought that by P+ they just ment more fun things to do not ruin the gameplay.

Hello, I have successfully used beer barrels in this game before, but I am trying to set a few up on The Island, and they just will not work. Looking at them, they say that they're irrigated, but when I open the inventory none of the engrams show up, and if I put the ingredients into the barrels nothing happens. Apart from the engrams not showing, I notice that there is not water bubbling from the cork on top of the barrels, as it did previously. They do show that they're fully irrigated (1000/1000), though. Any help, please!
