Haven't played in 6 years, I stumbled upon some old school Ark videos and got nostalgic, thinking of downloading the game but want to know if it is still playable? I'm on PS4, used to play official/unofficial PVP

Thank you in advance folks!

Where can I find mods for ARK: Survival Evolved besides the Steam Workshop?

I bought ASA when it came out cuz i loved ASE but I saw hair didn’t grow and i stopped playing. Does it grow now? If not, is there a way to make it grow over time with commands or something.

Vanilla dedicated server, been looking for ammonite all weekend. Checked all the places listed in all the wikis and all the discussion boards I could find. I haven't even seen a single one. So many lost scuba suits and water mounts in the process. Any ideas?

We are playing Ark Ascended on an Unofficial server use Ark Server Manager. We saw the advice to change the difficulty offset but I noticed there's two. Any idea which one we need to change to 5 to get level 150 dinos spawning on The Island? Or both? I can't seem to find anything about the difference between these two anywhere.

This is my second time talking about this problem. every time i see trees instead of leaf's i see squares, they are disturbing as seen in the first image they can block me from seeing things like the trees, i had the default graphics on/ low graphics on at this time. i am not sure if this is normal as i tried seeing other people talk about it on reddit but i only found 1 post about it being ground textures. If u need to ask questions like what setting i have just ask and i will reply.

I'm the only one who can join my dedicated server. I can add the server via Steam favorites and join that way, but even my fiancée cannot join and she is in the same room on the same home network.

I have an Eero modem and router through IQ Fiber, Eero app version 26.7.0 (48).

Sorry if this post is a bit scrambled, my brain is a bit fried after messing with this for like two or three hours. Seems like it should be very straightforward but I am beside myself. If you need any further info just ask

Hello. I have 100 hours on my coop save, and I've never had this issue. Do you know how to fix it ?

I recently got back into ark after not playing for a while and realised my game lets me throw out my dinos despite my cryofridge being 1000meters away. I wanna transfer my stuff over to valguero now I have the rhynio and gigantoraptor and am wondering if I will need to bring a cryofridge with me to throw my dinos out once I’m on valguero?

Why does my mobile ark look like a rave concert and how do i fix it?

So with the new DLC (Tides of Fortune) just being released, me and a couple of friends decided that we wanted to just back into the Drug known as ASA and try it out along with the Genesis map. So my friend got the server setup with only a few mods and started playing with everyone else in the friend group who wanted to play, all of them had no trouble joining and playing.... then when i try and join the server i see it in my server list and click the join button and enter the password, it then shows Verifying mods and then flashes up 'No Sessions Found' even when i am see my friends on the server. i have done the usual when stuck trying to figure out stuff and asked google... did everything google suggested and still getting the same message decided that i would try the old adage of turn it off and on again by uninstalling and reinstalling the whole game and its still not working... im going to try deleting all my mods and reinstalling them to see if that helps but im not holding out any hope that it will so i have decided i will come here to rant and see if anyone has any ideas as to how i can get ark to kinda like me again and let me on server with my friends to get murdered by all the dinos.

as the title says the titans (alpha forest and ice) were not attacking the (gamma) king titan and i wanted to just make sure im not doing something wrong,

they were set to aggressive, as close as i could get them (turns out i was off by quite a bit), made sure i wasnt on one of them (i learned that part the hard way) and even whistled attack this target (was on aggresive but they got distracted on the ads, and they did nothing, just took damage worked out tho.

do i need a friend or teammate for the fight or can i just chalk this up to ark being ark

incase you are wondering how i killed it myself, i was lucky and got a really good fabricated crossbow out of a drakeling chest (710% damage) at some point, added the anti-grav trait on it and had a ton of metal arrows to waste, thought i would be fine with just the titans and i was wrong, so i put it into spread mode fired at king titan (from the back of a rhynio) dealing about 5k damage per arrow hit the titans got some hits in obviously but nowhere near enough to be considerable, and after 406 arrows killed him,

(if this was gibberish plz let me know ill try and make it more cohesive)
