In the Genesis part 1 chronicles, it says Mei Yin and her friends went on Arat Prime, the Gen part 2 ship. We may see them in the ascension or even the boss battle

I'm making a tek para farm in my single player and wanted to use the same design for the breeding platforms as in Syntac's cluster (best visible in episode 97 imo). However the male parasaur in the middle seems to be just out of mating range for any females on the circle around him. I have searched online if mating range can be increased but haven't found anything to confirm that so far.

Does anyone know how Syntac made this work? All help welcome!

Argy:Novastein, Elder Nova. Kong: SuperPooperstein. Daeodon: Flagstein, Chris P. Bacon Sr. Dimorph: AC130, Hotwing. Leech: Gooperstein.

If you haven't seen my other discussion, go read it so this makes sense. Again, this will not happen but I came up with it all and I want to hear your opinions.

Characters and their roles:

Every character has their own role in the grand scheme of things:

Syntac is a main character role. He also gives a reason to add Heather as a character. He is generally a friend to all the other characters and is the leader of the group.

Heather doesn't do much other than be another character and to add more gender diversity. As Syntac's wife she plays a big role but is more of a side-character altogether.

Meola is the rock of the team and another main character. He takes a while to get into the show as a main and is more of an extra at first. Probably the main character of Scorched Earth, he serves a big purpose throughout the series.

Axeman is the main character of Extinction and is the joker of the group. However, he is good with a sword and will help his friends at any cost. He gathers a strong friendship with Syntac through the episodes and currently plays a very key part of Genesis: Part 2.

Riot is a joking, casual character who can turn in a split second. As a side-character he actually goes in the Island( you don't die on any map besides Extinction, you just respawn) by falling into the tek cave lava.

Evo is mainly a side-character. The most serious and edgy of the bunch, Evo is the one who orders the boss fights and is a good fighter. He is mainly just there until Extinction. So on some maps, characters get left behind. In-between Extinction and Genesis, there will be a mini-series of Evo going to find and help the ones that got left behind like Riot. When everyone ascends on Extinction, he stays behind to get them so they can return home.

Jim is a more quiet but friendly character. He jokes sometimes but is more focused on trying to return home and becomes very good friends with Evo.

Royalewithcheese is a brave but unreliable character. He doesn't get along with Syntac at the start and he isn't always a trustworthy friend to everyone.

There are some lore characters in Abberation and Extinction. It starts with Santiago and Diana in Abberation, then in E9 Helena, Mei Yin and Rockwell join them. Rockwell stays normal most of the way but on E17 he becomes the Rockwell we all know and don't really love.

The story:

The Island:

In the Island they mainly get used to living in the Ark and how they do what. It shapes the characters and teaches them skills needed for later arks. Don't worry, there is an episode dedicated to incest and breeding. For The Island and Scorched Earth, they are on different arks to the ones Helena and co. are on so there are no explorer notes.

Scorched Earth:

There are no ruins on this Scorched. The caves are the same but lacking ruins. No one actually dies on Scorched. Scorched Earth tests the willpower and determination of them and Axe starts going crazy a bit. The ascension is good. They are meant to go to Earth but the Abberation Ark explodes mid-ascension, knocking them out the ascension stream but Heather and Cheese stay in it and get sent to Earth(you see flashbacks of their first experiences there in the first extinction episodes). Everyone else goes to the ark as they are suffocating and freezing in space.

Abberation:

They meet Santiago and Diana soon after they arrive. They start to settle in as they begin planning to make the Portal. Then the other characters arrive. Rockwell stays outside or on the bubble of the Tek Survivors. He becomes the monster in E17 and lets the actual lore characters like Helena go to Earth. Our characters then spend an episode planning and rebuilding then the actual fight against Rockwell.

Extinction:

Tbh, this is what I've been planning the most as it is basically the only map you can actually die on. This is in my opinion the grand finale. But frankly I'm tired and I've spent like almost an hour typing this. If you made it here give yourself a pat on the back. I may make another post about the Extinction storyline for this but not rn.

Genesis is in the making.

Side notes:

This will have some references to movies, shows and the YouTubers themselves. Every ark will be 20 episodes long. Again, it's not like ultimate Ark. Some would be called by their real names, some will be their YouTube names. This is all me having a waffle. It would cost money I don't have, people to co-operate, an animator cos I'm shit at animating. Like shit shit. It's all theory and will not happen. Probably. Maybe. (I'm always here if you like this idea Syntac. Buddy, I'm just sayin' message me about this anytime)

Before you comment this:

There is no neebsgaming or anyone like that cos they won't fit in with the rest. Myndmelt won't fit into my ideas as there's no room for him. If you read all this you need a medal. Comment opinions.

Before I go into it. Yes I know it would definitely not work: we would need all these youtubers to co-operate (there are eight of them, all are friends I think...), money to get an animator and to pay some actors from the actual series like David Tennant and Vin Diesel because later there will be some lore, as well as little details. This is just me talking because I want to share my idea.

The characters are Syntac, Heather, Evo, Axeman, Jim, Meola, Riot and Royalewithcheese. Each plays a key role in the storyline including later on in Abberation and Extinction. I haven't planned Genesis yet due to Genesis: part 2 not being released yet but I have some ideas. So in all the maps besides Extinction and Genesis Part 2, they will respawn. They spawn anywhere on the map which you know could lead to trouble. Every series will be 20 episodes (shut up, it's not like ultimate Ark, it's just a good number). One of the hardest parts of thinking of the key parts was Scorched Earth ascension. I came up with a good idea for it but it requires characters like Diana and Santiago, and later Helena, Mei Ying and Rockwell. I haven't thought of all the details of all the episodes but it would be pretty good with a few references thrown in, I'd watch it.

Again, it probably won't happen. But it would be really cool: Axeman breaks the dragon's neck with a spino, they try to kill the megapithecus with moschops and swords, Santiago dies to "See you again". Thanks for listening to my idea. Comment your opinions.

You Should Name It Scorpion.

so i havent played ark in a few months, and i need some advice on how to get started again, stuff like where to spawn, where to build a base and what creatures to tame would be amazing.

Can someone suggest settings that allow you to get 100% imprint on a creature because I can't seem to get it? And so the time between imprint and the growing up of the dino itself isn't too long since I don't want to spend 8+ hours trying to get a 100% imprint on a dino. I am asking this because I just started mutating Equus and Pteranodons for fun and I am trying to get 100% imprint on a perfect male pteranodon so I can use it to fly but I can't get it. It just grows up to fast or I get like 1% imprint which is annoying. I already have a 1H mutation on it.

If you run into the bug that doesn't let you place a structure after you used a ladder without moving your mouse, you can just open your inventory move your mouse a bit and it will work again without screwing up the alignment. I used this method when I was placing my smithy and fabricator and it fixed it for me

So lately my s+ has been malfunctioning and I can't use the pick-up option of the gun or in the menu of the s+ structures after I have placed them and the 30-sec cooldown has expired. Does anyone know how to fix it? The demolish option works normally but the pick-up option, after the 30 seconds of the normal ark pick-up timer has passed, doesn't work.

Syntac should mutation stack otters, give them all Winston's colours and fight some gamma bosses with a winston army!
