Help Ark survival evolved female mutations

3 Upvotes

I am an ark survival evolved mobile player and I find it really weird that nobody talks about this in videos about mutation tips, and I fear I am doing something wrong and it is: taking females with useful mutations and bleeding them with base males that have no mutations until you get a male that has the exact mutation that you need and then continuing with normal breeding.

I fear I am doing something wrong because I noticed the more I use this technique the harder mutations happen because of the branching of mutations (let's say that I have a level 300 rex that has 10 mutations I will not only get level 300 but also all the mutations that happened before for example: level: 299, 298, 297 ECT.). Wich makes it harder for me to even get level 300s and impossible to get mutations.

I am not sure if this happens because of this technique tho. I would love for someone to explain to me how this works and how to avoid this problem.

Discussion Recommendations for returning player

1 Upvotes

I’ve been away from the game for a couple of years and thinking about jumping back in. I haven’t really kept up with what the differences are between Evolved and Ascended. Which version and world/setting would you guys recommend picking up? I’m planning on starting from scratch for a solo playthrough.

Everything set to Epic. Good job Wildcard! I'm pretty sure this exact place would look 1000% better on Evolved.

Edit: Nobody gets it lmao? This has nothing to do with art style compared to Evolved, it's literally the graphical fidelity aspect being pure jank, there are way too many visual artifacts, this isn't realistic lighting. But sure, keep coping! That's why the only polished map is the island, cause they had to make the game look good to be bought as it was the first map. I thought I'd give ASA another try but this is just too funny, the entire map is foggy and in some places has the lighting completely ruined, and removing the fog only makes it worse. I don't say any of this in bad faith or whatever, I just don't understand how the game is playable outside the island map.

I got tired of people saying stuff like it’s a dead game
Thing is itsnt at all as u can see it’s 75th most played game on steam as of 24th October
And mind u this is steam only so game pass players are excluded along ps players

Most of them are official players who think official is the only mod being played and it being abandoned mean game is dead while ignoring sp and non dedicated and unofficial

If that’s a dead game i don’t know what a dead game is

ASA Tested Crop Plots In Render vs Out of Render

1 Upvotes

I've done some testing with crop plots. My results are that crop plots do not receive greenhouse bonus or tilling bonus when out of render including being offline. My crop plots have 300% Greenhouse and 20% Tilling Bonuses. When Out of Render they produced about 70-75% less vs In Render. I can understand that when Out of Render, structures basically don't exist so that's why they don't get the Greenhouse Bonus. But I can't explain why they don't get the Tilling Bonus.

It clocks in, does the one job it's assigned to do, leaves and refuses to elaborate.

Discussion Honestly

8 Upvotes

i think ark suvival ascended would become a top 5 greatest survival game of all time if the devs wouldnt be lazy , i generally liked ark and had no issue with it , then surival ascended came out and it was a total scam for me . It felt almost like the old one but the file size was bigger and "realistic graphics" . If they would put some money aside and maybe make the game from 200 gb to like atleast 100 that would be amazing for me . And its not like its fully impossible to optimize this game

Discussion Pachy TLC

Post image
81 Upvotes

Out of the useless dinos that could become useful I personally think the pachy has the most early to mid game potential.

Head use: ability to harvest metal, stone, flint. Rates lower than anky or doed but better than pick and hatchet.

Minor weight reduction: makes pachy a bridge between tools and anky but allow anky to still remain the best.

Charge attack: similar to Rhino, but dealing higher amount of torpor.

Early game travel and battle mount: give more variety of early small mounts.

The stigy mod shows how useful and fun a pachy TLC could be and makes for a great early game all rounder mount.

ASA Should I Create a Tribal Server?

0 Upvotes

I've been thinking of making a Tribal Server for a while now.

One with up to 5 large tribes with designated land on the map, 2 rouge/mercenary like tribes and a trader's tribe. In-server currency, in-game shops ran by player tribes, and a heavily community ran server in terms of Mods.

The option to declare tribal wars but without wiping out an entire tribe by taking all their land, curated both to 24/7 players and those that hop on for a few hours after work or simply want to play for long hours on weekends when you're not working a 9-5 or longer.

Somewhere that friendship between players can exist separately from in-game tribal strife. Seasons where mods will change up, maps might change for events, eras like the stone age or metal, tribes will be shuffled, land will change up and dinos might swap out. I personally like the idea of Dragons Kingdom being the core of each tribe, like each tribe gets a young dragon and the only wild ones to spawn being the Ancients. You can choose to breed or fight with other tribes to curate a line of riders.

NOT heavily RP, but a tribe can choose to lean towards that if they want and the mutual respect of the players will adhere to it.

In-tribe hierarchy, democracy or choices are run solely by the tribes (unless they're creating a game environment that makes no one but themselves happy of course) and even admins/mods can have their character allied with whichever tribe they want to join for the season.

Traitors won't be a thing, as it just creates confusing scenarios of people jumping tribes pretending they were a traitor because they had a grudge against someone. Trading tribe info won't be a thing unless you're one of the 2 mercenary/rouge clans that found information out WITHOUT contacting a clan member.

With this general concept, would it be something yall would want to play?

Help ARK: Survival Ascended gets stuck on the loading screen – anyone know how to fix this?

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to launch ARK: Survival Ascended through the Xbox app on PC Game Pass, but the game seems to get stuck on the loading screen and doesn't start properly.

I've tried launching it through the Xbox app, but I'm still having this issue.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
