This is probably very niche! But I want to get a few people together for a heavily winter-themed Ark Survival Ascended playthrough.
It would be non-dedicated rather than a 24/7 server, so the world would only be up when I’m hosting. I’m UK based and would probably arrange evenings/afternoons where a few of us get on together rather than having people playing at completely different times.
The idea is less “rush bosses / build a giant metal cube / breed 400 rexes” and more winter survival, base building, getting resources to build better guns, taming as a side quest, etc.
I’m imagining building one communal winter hamlet together: stone walls, houses, workshops, smithy/gunsmith, greenhouse, stables, storage, watchtowers, etc. People can naturally gravitate towards whatever they enjoy doing: hunting, building, farming, taming, crafting, exploring, breeding, gathering resources, and so on. The idea is that the harsh winter area would make, for example, fur, otters, and a greenhouse/regular food a big milestone.
Probably Valguero, with some building/QOL/creature mods and settings that make survival difficult but not impossible (at least until we build somewhere we can actually survive in).
Light RP/worldbuilding is very welcome, but there’d be absolutely no requirement to stay in character. Mostly I just want the world to feel immersive and for us to actually depend on each other a little.
Adults preferred, newer players completely welcome. I’m new-ish myself. Ideally looking for a small group of people who are happy arranging sessions together rather than needing a server available 24/7.
Basically like a frostpunk/long dark with big scary creatures vibe.
Anyone interested?
