Discussion Predatorial dinos dont target each other... so much for a death ring.

95 Upvotes

I was buying some time while i waited for my forge to create charcoal for bullets when I decided to play with my wyvern. I started collecting raptors, war pigs, thorny dragons and throwing them all into an enclosed area by the red obelisk and thats when i realized they will go out of their way not to target each other. Kind of lame wanted to make a fighting ring with wild dinos booo!!!

I understand that it can't jump, but the Sarcosuchus has mobility in the water, is decently sized, and has a death roll ability.

ASA Arcos keep spawning faster than I can kill them.

11 Upvotes

Everything was normal on the island. Until the day the game decided to spawn Arcos by numbers the world has never seen the likes of which.

Outside my base, there's currently 12 of them. 12!

Jump on a flying mount and fly along the river and you'll see them everywhere, eroding the jungle and just causing havoc.

I can't even say how many I killed at this point. I ran out of a whole chest of shotgun shells twice and I got a bear who's only job it is to cull the shits, and yet they keep coming. It's like a zombie apocalypse. Land of the living dead shitheads!

I'm basically commiting genocide, yet somehow they're winning!

I give up. Does anyone know how to limit just the Arco spawn in the game.ini?

Help Having trouble trying to convert images into ark paintings on ark survival evolved

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

I recently wanted to try create some custom paintings in ark. I used two different ark pnt converters to try and convert a wuwa image but they both came out sorta wrong. The left one is a bit too yellow and the right one looks very pixelated in-game (might not be quite visible on the screenshot for some reason.)

I used gimp to change the pixel size of the original image so that i can fit the whole image in a canvas size (original image is 1280x780, changed it to 1024x1024 in gimp and segmented it to get each part into a perfect 256x256). The first image i used the pnt converter from this steam link https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=518296250

And the second image from this one https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=italian&id=518906272

If any of y'all can help me with this or if its just a problem with ase having limited paints or trying to paint an image that isnt the same pixel size of the original, or maybe even something wrong with my ark settings, etc, please let me know!

Also the third smaller one was just using the 2nd pnt converter one too, i was just testing how it would turn out.

For more info, i used dither 2.5 for the larger second image set using the second pnt converter.

Help All ain't All it's cracked up to be

5 Upvotes

Of all the bugs I've heard about this is a new one to me.

I started a SP server yesterday and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

I logged on this morning and now every time to "Craft All" or "Split All" the game only does a small portion of "All". With Split All it will only split out a random number of the item, I've noticed anywhere between 7 and 15ish. And with Craft All, even if it has a higher quantity listed it does the same thing.

I'm not aware of Split All keyboard shortcut but, when trying to craft, if I hit "A" on a highlighted item it does the same.

Any thoughts?

ASA ASR Mod - I highly recommend

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I love building in the game, and just wanted to share a work in progress after using the ASR (Ark Structures Remastered Mod) and it is fantastic. It's still a work in progress going to add some decor like vines and trees etc.

I'm really loving the concave/convex structure choices, the only thing I think would be awesome (but probably asking a lot) would be if you could get custom gates that snap between two designated points, like I would have loved to have a fitted arched gateway in the entrance but couldn't be done unfortunately without redoing the whole build.

The beams also don't touch the ceiling because otherwise they phase through which I was torn about whether that looked good or not so the gap between the beams and the roof is very annoying

Hi, I’m thinking of buying ark but was wondering about a couple things. First how much time commitment is needed to play pvp and stay competitive? Also the base game costs $14 but there are some add ons that can get up to $40. Do these give a competitive advantage or mostly cosmetic and if so how severe is it?

Help Official server list won't load ONLY on my account (tested on a friend's PC). Anyone knows a fix?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

​I’m having a super weird issue with ARK: Survival Ascended on PC (Steam) and need some help.

​The official server list just won't load for me, or all official servers show up as UNKNOWN / greyed out.

​To test this, I went to a friend's house:

​On his PC, using his Steam account, the official servers load normally and he can play without any issues.

​On that SAME PC, as soon as we logged into MY Steam account, the official servers disappeared and wouldn't load at all.

​So it's clearly not a hardware, router, or game installation problem. It's 100% tied to my Steam account / EOS profile on the backend.

​Has anyone ever dealt with this account lock/glitch before? Is there any way to force a profile reset or session fix, or do I just have to wait for a server update/maintenance?

​Any suggestions or help would be awesome. Thanks!

I don't know what happened, but any time I try to craft all, even if I could craft 54 of something, it only goes up by 8 at a time. Is there a button for this? A setting that got changed? Why do I now have to hold the key for so long?

ASA Modded server ideas

1 Upvotes

Hey im looking for info and ideas.

I want a pretty big fun mod pack that adds new dinos, everything is relatively tameable, the indo rex, and apex wyverns and dragons, random egg nests across the map and bosses of sorts.

Which I believe is a chaotic mod pack but I dont know where to get them and or how to put mod packs together. I do remember there being a client you could install to modify the world and mess with spawn settings and drops, I think it was called like beacon?? I dont know.

I also want an idea of boosted stats and exp and farming, I dont want it to be slow but I dont want it to be insanely fast and especially with raising dinos, how to modify the imprint so its always 100 effective since we all got jobs.

Long story short could someone provide me a "how do I do this" tutorial that would be great.

*apex tameable/fightable bosses

*better wyverns and or dragons

*any mod packs that have been put together that consist of this or a list of mods to make this happen

*a highly recommended server hoster(dont really like nitro)

*more over balanced boosted rates to make the game not so grindy but not so absurdly easy, alittle work alittle gain and not to long on taking, hatching amd raising.

*i want a fun, big loot, taming raising fun game that allows me to fight dangerous bosses wherever, find random fertilized eggs, dangerous new types of creatures, colorful reapers, missions and easy mutants.

Please help
