We are playing an unofficial server ran by some random normies, we are all in one tribe, and there is a healthy population of 50+ non 4channers. You will not get bullied by us unless you're a retard who posts in global looking for us. Add Irish on steam (anime girl avatar).
Daily reminder of Mosa spawns in 15 days.
Looking to play some solo. I usually go with a theme and stick to it, try to roleplay a bit. I'm thinking of going for a steam punk and won't be using furry animals. I'll be heavily focused more on building and I won't be taking anything electrical of course.
What are some good mods and some ideas that compliment this?
1 of the new dung beetles.
>>148316832
Wait for primitive+ or whatever the fuck it's called to come out soon.

>>148319763
>Wait for primitive+ or whatever the fuck it's called to come out soon.
In the mean time, there's still a map, other mods, and ideas to think up.
>Otherwise you'll end up like this guy.
Why? Steampunk allows the use of stone. The steampunk main mod has structures which I'm sure are a higher tier than stone too.
Second one
>>148319996
You seem more informed of the current mod and map scene than I am, then.
Before bringing the tribe to this server, Boatman and I played on another server with The Long Hunt that was able to just outright disable explosive engrams. I'm sure the same concept could be applied towards other engrams, you'd probably have to hand make it yourself though.

any ideas how to get an ascendant club? Or atleast yourneyman?
>>148338443
You can get them from Underwater loot crates if you are lucky
>>148338443
Get to level 80
Open underwater crates
>>148338701
Do higher tier club gather more polymer?
Muh quetz muh quetz
>>148338895
Club ignores armor, high tier clubs will torpor shit super easy.
>>148339052
But not get more organic polymer from penguins
>>148338903
You forgot to add machine gun turret
>>148338895
Yes, but not much more. It's better mainly for durability.
>>148341878
Its a transport and the way i built it a machinegun would have too many blindspots.
This version can pick people and dinos up and attack things directly under it (plant x`s).
Ill make a proper assault quetz eventually with the same design just a different deck so I can have both a rocket and machine gun turrets.
>>148320320
You can manually edit engrams as I understand

I'm trying to not tame a ton of stuff and I've already used a shark/plesio on another server
>>148348385
high level ones have decent base stats, ours got like 3k hp which may not be a ton but its good, if you pump speed and melee theyre pretty decent to use, theyre also great for collecting black pearls and night diving

If you land and turn around it blocks 99% of the shots from behind.

It hurts
>>148357470
You gotta log out and back in. It's a bug that happens with corpses where the client thinks it's in one location but the server reports it as elsewhere. Relogging causes it to sync properly.
>>148357470
You couldn't do anything to your body because it was visually glitched, visual glitches can be fixed by leaving the server and coming back.
>>148357470
>>148357684
alternatively, other people may have the correct body location and if they pick it up it will superspeed in an orbital circle around them until it eventually homes in to where they are standing

hey /arkg/ I've played a bit on a modded server and it was sorta cool.
Would the lads every want to transfer to one? Or are they vanilla4life.
>>148378314
It's only a matter of time before we get banned by the admins who cant seem to win against us otherwise. That or they just get so fed up with us and ARK as a whole they stop paying for the server and it goes under.
Until that day comes we've invested so much time and effort here I dont see any meaningful transfers happening any time soon.
>>148382381
That's fair.
Until that day I'll wait.
Chill out with my fire burds and shit.
>>148378314
I don't like mods on principle because it means that in a semi-frequently updating game, things can break or be lost or become unplayable due to any number of factors
when you put enough time into a game it simple isn't worth it
>>148383415
Fire birds? What kinda mods are we talking about?
>>148389406
The kind that add a trans am to run moonshine in apparently.
Will overpowered weapons from the tech tree make dinos even less relevant in PVP, or do you think it will be the other way around?
>>148396427
considering you can give the dinos weapons, like the giga laser, I think it'll be the other way around
>>148389406
That Annunaki Genesis mod. Adds in tameable alpha's of more types and 'badass' elemental types. iirc there's fire, ice' poison (which deal torpor) and mountain which can break higher quality structures and gather more.
Along with new 'world bosses' and stuff.

I've been playing for 60(excluding last year) hours and I have only ever seen 1 dire bear which was where I spawned. Are they killed that often in the wild? I'm on the center map. I've been flying around for hours specifically looking for one and still haven't seen it.

>>148440596
The Center is getting updated on 28th because the map dev is going to add the allosaurus and pelagornis spawns in to the map and wildcard doesn't want him to release new dinos before them.
I was hoping that the pillar that pierced the wooden foundation wouldn't break because I removed the thatch ceilings next to it.
>>148445239
And the files aren't in the base client, unless you're saying all dinos are distributed an extra time with the map making it have a larger file size for no reason.

What is the ideal breeding setup? Since i got 3 giga eggs
rip
Is this better than rust? Is it more grindy or less?
>>148449380
It's better than Rust because there are more things to do than just PvP and yes it's more grindy but that can be fixed by playing on unofficial servers with boosted rates.
>>148447523
Hatching room*
>>148447523
>>148450293
AC, it protects from both hot and cold, just have a few of those and room in case of triplets.
>>148451127
Just a few to hatch gigas? Thought i read somewhere you need 14 ac. How long does it take to hatch and mature a giga on ride the ark?
>>148451629
I'm not on ride the ark.
As for how many ACs, place some, check it, if it's not enough refrigerate the egg and get some more AC down.
>>148415867
When I get on today I'm continuing my grind for all the over the top BPs we have. I slaughtered hordes of penguins to make that MC riot chest piece we have yesterday.
>>148432313
I hope you at least maintain good FPS
>>148451629
Gigas need 8 ACs 6 May work, but the egg will probably lose health with temp changes.
>>148451629
Make a U shape out of 8 ACs - 4 in the back with 2 branches of 2 on each side. That should be all you need.
So where to farm alphas on the center?
I'm torn between half burnt and lava island on which would be better.
>>148457378
I usually see the highest concentration of alphas on lava island, but they're capable of spawning anywhere. The lack of foliage on lava island also helps in that it makes them easier to spot.
>>148454029
Awesome thanks. And how long would it take to have a mature giga?
>>148457782
Yeah, the reason I'm considering half burnt is that more shit is constantly dying there which should open spawn slots that rexes/raptors/carnos could take.
The only issue is that the swarms of argents would be a pain in the ass on top of the alpha.
>>148458094
It would take about 2 weeks from the time the egg starts incubating to adulthood on official servers. Do you know what the maturation rate is on the server you're on?
Another day, another qt angler
>>148460442
>male
>>148460681
Woah when did they port ark to PS2?
>>148459486
Should be times 5 i believe.
I tried reading the wiki about the maturing process but i still don't get the part of imprinting.
>>148460950
>>148461086
At 5x it should be about 2.5 days.
As for imprinting, every 3-4 hours the dino makes a request that upon being fulfilled, increases their stats by a percentage without affecting their level. It's typically either cuddling with them (just pressing E), taking them on a walk, or feeding them a specific kibble. Keep in mind they can ask for kibbles that are hard to get too (Araneo, Titanaboa, etc). If you wait too long after the baby makes the request its current imprinting percentage starts to drop rapidly, so you essentially need to sign on every 3-4 hours or so to get 100%. RIP sleep.
>>148462430
Wow that sucks hard. Why the fuck would they ever do such a thing that you can't sleep if you want to get 100%
>>148462430
>Two weeks of having to check up on it like that on an official server.
How can anyone actually stand playing on officials?
>>148463814
>>148463708
I think the idea is more for those alpha tribes that always have at least one person on at any given time. It can get pretty OP too as you can end up with a level 60 giga that has 50k HP, 1,000 stam, and 250% melee at 100% imprinting.
If you can't get them all just ignore the imprinting until it's close to finishing and you know you can be online. I've got 2 gigas at 12% imprinting myself.
>>148464227
I will look into it all. Thank you so much! Learned a lot.
>>148464227
Doesn't official force the person who hatched the egg to be the one to imprint it?
>>148465275
Oh damn, you're right. I play on an unofficial that has that restriction disabled so I totally forgot about it.
Yeah, fuck that.

What mods are you using and what kind of mods would you like, or what features would you like in the game?
I think some kind of fantasy mob mod could be nice.
Like a group of ogres can spawn and they will actively look for player settlements to steal/kill a parasaur/phiomia or whatever and then go back to their camp.
Not being able to use a GPS while riding underwater makes hunting deep sea crates a huge pain in the ass. Is there a video or something that shows the exact location of each one? I've seen the map with the coords but it's not good enough if I'm constantly dismounting to check where I am.
>>148469001
Can't you use a gps on an amphibious dino like a sarco or frog?
>>148469001
Select gps before you mount the sea dino,Press Q when mounted.Works with gps and spyglass but you cant swap while mounted.

My old server recently wiped. Aprimes ark land or something.
>Upcoming Version: v244.6
>- Defaulted to using "new save format", which is approximately 4x faster and 50% smaller. If you want to use the old save format, launch with -oldsaveformat. (New saves are not backwards compatible!)
>- Reduced client game memory usage by about 600 MB system and 600 MB GPU RAM! (all meshes now stream LOD's dynamically). This could potentially have a small runtime performance impact, so to use the old method (more RAM usage but no potential performance loss), launch with -nomemorybias
>- Diseases are now permanently cleared whenever you level-up; as you get "older", it's more time consuming to recover from a disease.
>- Titanosaurus torpor reduced by 50%, and Travel Distance for taking Torpor reduced by 50%. Effectively, Titanosaurus is now much easier to knock out.

All the top populated servers have the most horrifying rules. Check this out.
>4) No placing ANY structure to block any area. No blocking resource spawns with random structures or small bases. No placing structures near an enemy base to cause harassment. No placing any structure for future building or holding any spot even if its temporary. Random buildings found will have ALL TRIBE structures wiped from map on a case by case basis by an admin. So if you have a new person in your tribe, make sure they did NOT build random buildings on the beach or any location.
>6) No putting someone unconscious for an extended period of time. 30 min max jail time only if you're raiding someone. This means NO RANDOM JAILING.
>11) No blocking a Quetzal, Plesio, or ANY DINO rider with any building or object. Very simply put, you must be able to get picked up normally without any obstruction. MANNED turrets are allowed, just not automatic turrets. Also, the driver MUST be visible to the point of being able to be shot at clearly from 3 sides. Don't manipulate the rule to your liking. For example, if it takes a couple tries from an angle, it is not considered legit. ANYONE who is found to be violating this rule will lose all dino's including the entire tribes subject to admin's decision.
>15) No attaching any C4 to ANY dino except dodo's and monkey's.
These servers make no fucking sense.
>>148573552
A 5x server is not for us

Mate I dunno about you, I spent 250 hours on this server. I'd also like to live my life and not have Ark as a second job.
>>148575927
this
Also the reason people usually quit after a wipe is because of the time it takes to build back up, having a higher rate server would mean more targets
Do you guys seriously think that you can start over on another server and be as sucesful? I am sorry to burst your bubble, but unless you have your heavy lifters backing you up,you won`t succeed.

We were such a peaceful tribe until it wiped. I'd love to return there as a conquerer. No one would know I was involved until my name showed up in a log, but people there know me. Could get us some good early allies if you wanted.

>>148576054
Sky Nigger here. When I joined I was busy playing 2 servers, but if we start over new I'll be a bit of a heavy lifter myself. I'll build more than just an aviary and small houses. I've been grinding loads of bullets and powder lately as well so our turrets will be stacked.
Also we don't have to completely abandon the old server. Check things to make sure they don't decay or become claimable and then if that server gets busy again we can go back and forth. Just gotta avoid wars on 2 servers at once.
>>148576304
I'm on my phone so it's hard to say. When I played it, it was anywhere between 15 and 35 people. Busiest i ever saw was 50 and it was full. It's a 75 slot now though. Also our adding population will bring more people. There's also many experienced players there.
Like I said I can get us strong allies, but it may be more fun to fight them. I'd leave that choice to boatman.

By being a bunch of 14 year old manchildren led by a weeb, a high school kid, and a burd who can't even walk in a straight line, tie their own shoes, or pee straight.
A fresh start would be nice, I kinda joined back in really late.
What map should we do anyways? We could do Island, Center, Valhalla (lel), or some new beta map.

New shitty maps nota good idea. I heard Valhalla had improved. The island is poorly optimized, but familiar. (Also more likely to find a server). Personally I like the center, bit I don't care what you guys pick.
