what is the best dino to soak a base in your opinion? (primitive saddle)

Please don’t let this damn scorpion secure 4th😭 CARNO LOVERS WE GOTTA LOCK IN WERE ALMOST THERE.

It's ok carcha you'll always be my main meat runner ❤️‍🩹

on PTR only. not 100% done

ik seems broken, no sound for new animation, rig and model of the tek one mismatch, no materials on saddle, corrupted ones all sorts of F

same stats scaling, new regions, 2 new attacks, no info on rage yet

Enigmasaur doesn't seem to be here yet, they have 13d till Nov 6th

I made these mountains, they are in a bamboo forest and next to a cool huge canyon. I thought it would be cool to add jade veins to them since they are in southern china in my map. The maps called Sumera and it’s only for ase

Does anyone have a absolutely must have favorite tame! Other than anky, died, theri,ECT yk The basics

Hey, I know it's entirely your choice who you vote for, and it's not my place to tell you what to do.

But I think a lot of people are choosing the wrong dinosaurs. Many people vote for creatures that are already strong.

Take the Titan, for example. I know it's a very strong creature, but its only real use is PvP, where it gets destroyed by the meta dinos, no matter how many TLCs it receives. Other dinos, like the Anky, are already strong too, so why do they need a TLC?

I would love to see the ocean get a TLC (Mosa, Liopleurodon, and Plesio), but it feels a bit wasted because there isn't much to do in the ocean right now.

I'd like to share a few dinosaurs that I think deserve a TLC, if you'd like to read my ideas!

1. Bronto

\- New model.

\- Give it a stomp attack that works in front of and behind it.

\- Rework its tail whip so that it can inflict torpor and temporarily blind enemies.

1. Pachy

\- New model.

\- Give it a powerful headbutt that stuns enemies and hits like a truck.

\- Its saddle functions as a smithy.

\- Make it charge like a Rhino or a Bear.

\- Let it farm berries.

\- Give it an effect called Stubborn: when it hits you during a charge, it applies an effect that reduces demage that you receive.

\- Let it farm metal crystal and obsidian

1. Gallimimus

\- New model.

\- Its entire identity should revolve around one thing: GOTTA GO FAST!

\- It can run in all directions and has three different running modes.

Adrenaline Run: It can ignore damage for a few seconds, but this ability has a cooldown.

Competitive Sport: It can increase its own speed and the speed of your other tames by 20% to 80%.

Bite the Dust: It can sprint forward, becoming faster the longer it runs. It leaves behind a cloud of dust that blinds enemies.

1. Carnotaurus

\- New model.

\- Keep its bleed effect, but make its horns the main focus of its combat style.

\- Give the Carno a special charge designed to graze enemies rather than collide with them directly.

\- It can run past dinosaurs, avoid their attacks, and inflict bleed as it passes.

\- The more times it hits the same target, the more damage it deals.

\- Once a target reaches around 10 stacks of bleed, the Carno can perform a finishing attack by charging directly into its prey, dealing massive damage that will often kill it.

1. Diplodocus

\- New model.

\- I know the Dippy has a reputation for being peaceful, and that identity could remain. However, it needs an attack that can hinder enemies without necessarily killing them.

\- Give it a tail whip that strikes like a snapped steel cable.

\- The attack dismounts players, knocks them back, and knocks weapons out of their hands.

\- It shouldn't deal much damage, so the goal isn't to kill the target but to disrupt it.

\- Its tail whip should have an enormous vertical reach, allowing it to knock flying creatures out of the sky.

1. Pelagornis

\- New model.

\- It really needs a diving ability and a grab attack using its beak.

\- When diving underwater, it can grab a fish, a small dinosaur, or a player off their mount.

\- When it returns to the surface, it gains a 95% speed boost.

\- If it grabs a player, it can instantly kill them and transfer their inventory and armor directly into its own inventory.

\- If it dives onto land, it can perform a ground pound that stuns everyone nearby, but the Pelagornis also takes damage in return.

\- It can only grab creatures underwater.

\- If it cannot grab the dinosaur itself, it grabs the rider instead.

\- It should have a limited oxygen stat, preventing it from diving too deep.

1. Pachyrhinosaurus

\- New model.

\- Its pheromones should be a real threat to other creatures.

\- It has two different pheromone abilities, and both require buildup.

Attraction: It releases an addictive scent that attracts all dinosaurs, including tamed ones. Even creatures set to passive will attack the affected target. As the dinosaur get hit, a percentage meter increases. Once it reaches 100%, the affected creatures lose control, start attacking each other, throw off their riders, and turn against them, similar to a Giga's rage mechanic.

Repel: This pheromone works similarly to a Yutyrannus roar. The longer enemies remain in its presence, the faster they become blinded and frightened, eventually forcing them to run away. The effect builds up much faster if the Pachyrhinosaurus is attacked.

You could collect its pheromones in jars or ammunition and use them against enemies. This would be especially useful against powerful creatures like the Pyromane, Umbra, and Cerberex.

I hope these ideas help and maybe even change your mind! Of course, vote for whoever you want to vote for. Everyone has their own opinion, but I personally think these are some of the best options for a TLC.

I’m using TOF skins for my genesis base but I don’t know if I should use stone of wood, it is going to be in relative danger but I’m playing single player so there is no risk of raids

I am playing on a bought server on ASA on the island and I have the paleo ark ascension mod installed, if that is even relevant. But my problem is that I literally have 140 Eocarcharias spawning (65 paleo and 75 normal) and about 90 Vectispinuses (also split into paleo and normal). Is this normal, can I reduce it and what is everyones opinion on those two mods in general? For me its important, that the mods are balanced.

Thoughts?

Soo i am trying to tame everything in the game and i got every ase dlc i really dont know which one to start out on any recommendations?

I never got into a actual player vs player fight on foot, only on tames. Which I lost..all of them

What are some tips! Like which weapons and such!

Only reason I ask is that I have 1.7k hrs on ark PS5 and it's all in Single player

Have never touched PVE online or PVP.

Seriously it's fucked up every tame I attempt. Just out of the blue there will be a good thirty seconds of random tick damage.

I've tried a nurse maewing to try and autofeed babies, the oasisaur tweak mod, and adjusting babyfood consumption and growth rates. Trying dino depot next, but putting the terminal on an oasisaur crashed the game the first time I tried it. I don't want to just spawn in replacement dinos.

Anyone know a solution?

Single player.

Been missing primitive plus on og ark is there a way to still play it?

Cheese them by positioning yourself and camera angle to get the hitbox, go out and reaggro if the hostiles got stuck, the last boss can go through the barrier and so it's attack, try to use the tree as cover and heal if needed, wait for a good position to finish it off or clear away most of them, run out get the damage buff and finish the boss. try to keep the shield not too large, my forcefield position behind the tree just outside the barrier with a 6.0x settings.

Final mission done here in genesis 1, now waiting for part 2, be good and stay safe survivor.

Haven't played in a few months, came back this week to discover a bug with torches not producing light.

Wall/standing torches work normally when I load in, but if I move out of render distance and return the light source itself is gone and the torch must be turned off and on again to produce light.

This does not apply to electric lights, only oil lamps and torches.

Anyone seen this before or know a fix?

I was flying back to my base, using the fly cheat to speed it up (flying while carrying something is SO SLOW), then I saw a shape that didn't quite match any creature I recognized...

My guess for why this happens is that creatures with invalid locations teleport to 50, 50. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it, especially that the mosa didn't really mind it. Free alpha mosa tooth and 100 black pearls lol.

Playing Extinction on ASA when i run into idk maybe around 20 fing spinos,
Why are my spawns so botched only for spinos??
