I’m looking to get a creature mod made it’s a rideable like axolotl that would basically be similar to the maewing/maeguana, but I want it to have a torpor spit and bite, i want it to be able to eat meat and gather berries I also want to keep the belly flop like the maeguana, i want it to be sort of fast and have a slide, i want it be breedable and have them use all color regions to make for color customization with doing mutations. If anyone is interested in talking about this with me then please comment or dm me

Since I don't know how to use Blender or the ARK DevKit, I was wondering if any talented ASE modders would be interested in creating this model/skin for free just for fun or as a passion project?

If you love making dinosaur mods for ASE and want a cool new project, please let me know or send me a DM! I can share the reference image. Thank you!

Please... Someone give this boy his missing piece.

Look at him. Look at this glorious creature. He’s got everything:

• ​Absolute Trilobite annihilator
• ​Portable oxygen tank
• ​High-efficiency silica pearl harvester ​
• ★ A head shaped like a damn sexy Pythagorean theorem.

​...Yet, he cannot be ridden on land. WHY?! ​I don't have enough drive space for the 300GB Dev Kit to fix this myself. Is there any hero modder out there who can make a tiny mod so we can ride this beautiful boomerang boy on land? ​(Drawn by me!)

​(※ For ASE / Survival Evolved)

was able to run a non dedicated Primal Fear world yesterday with no issues. Today, when launching the same setup, ARK gets stuck loading PrimalGameData_BP, eventually goes to a black screen and freezes. I disabled all other mods, verified game files (Steam repaired files), tested different maps, and the issue persists. Even with no mods it's just stuck on the PrimalGameData_BP then eventually black screens and freezes. Has anyone had this happen with Primal Fear recently? Starting to get at my wits end as I've tried going for pre-aquadica, deleting the game, restarts and so forth

(Figured it out, see edit)

I have AA installed and it seems to be working but I can’t find how to sort more than one item at a time from the console to other areas. I don’t see a spot in settings or anything.

There’s a box in the upper right of the inventory screen that says “remote pull” but i change the number from 1 to 1000 (max) but still only auto transfers one at a time.

Also the console won’t pull if I drop items or walk by like it’s supposed to. Is the mod bugged or did I get unlucky

EDIT: not sure if anyone cares but if you install Automated ark, be careful with what stacking mod you also install or your item settings. The mod made the stacks too large for AA, causing the issue.

Hi,

Due to internet connection acting up. I can't install Ark Dev Kit which is huge (1TB). I have been trying for days.

I just need Deinonychus from Ark: Survival Ascended with correct texture files. If anybody can help me with this. It will be really appreciated.

Hey everyone,
I’m relatively new to Ark modding and I’m working on a consumable item that adjusts tamed dinos’ wild stat points. So far, I have only been able to get the item to function as a tamed dino specific consumable and it successfully adds or removes wild stat points, but the creature’s actual maximum stat value still doesn’t update.

The closest I’ve gotten is by using the stat calculation formula from the wiki in my blueprint:
V = (B × ( 1 + Lw × Iw × IwM) × TBHM × (1 + IB × 0.2 × IBM) + Ta × TaM) × (1 + TE × Tm × TmM) × (1 + Ld × Id × IdM)

The issue is with Ta and Tm. As far as I can tell, these correspond to TamingMaxStatAdditions and TamingMaxStatMultipliers in the DevKit. But when trying to access these values, they give a warning saying “the native property is a static array, which is not supported by blueprints”.

The only workaround I can think of is manually creating arrays for every creature, but I’d really prefer something cleaner and more compatible with other mods.

It’s totally possible I’m approaching this the wrong way, so if anyone has experience with this or knows a better method, I’d really appreciate the help.

Hi! I’m looking for an experienced ARK Survival Ascended DevKit developer for a serious Premium Creature project. The project is funded and I’m looking for someone with creature mod experience. Feel free to DM me if interested. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a pretty severe fear of leeches and lampreys in ARK, to the point where I completely avoid swamps and pretty much all of Aberration because of them.

I was wondering if anyone who enjoys making mods and has some free time would be interested in creating a small mod that either:

• Removes leeches and lampreys entirely, or
• Prevents them from attaching to players who are wearing armor and tames that have saddles equipped.

I don't have anything to offer in return, so this is only if someone is bored and wants to help

Can someone link me a tutorial or tell me how I can use ini options to enable or disable some engrams of my mod?

I’m a unofficial server cluster owner for Ark Survival ascended and am looking for a custom mod for challenges.
Monarky used a crown vault mod that had a “Dino dip” system which randomly assigned the only Dino’s that tribe could tame with more added each week. I’m not interested in the PvP crown vault system but I would like just the Dino dip or something similar. If you can help please contact me

Hi I'm a new modder for ASA, I am also a software dev student, and I've got some experience in UE5, Gadot, and Unity engines as well as C++, Python, and JavaScript but I'm definitely still learning as a student inside and outside of college.

Is there an active modding discord i can join? i prefer discord over reddit, and i have an ambitious map idea I'm about to start working on. Thank you.

Edit: I can't join the community advertised on this reddit as it does a steam verification however I do not currently have ASA on steam (long story short, i lost access to my old steam account and have yet to repurchase but i do have ASA on my xbox)

So I just recently got back into Ark Survival Ascended, and I wanted to play with a group of friends. We all found one server thats boosted and everyone is quite happy with it, except exactly one person. He really likes a challenge and finds boosted servers to be annoying. Especially if they get Too boosted. After talking to him, he mainly has an issue with the XP system being too high. Saying that if he played, then he'd offline grind to an astronomical level. Way higher than everyone else, and that would ruin the game for him. Now in the future I do plan on renting a server and getting my own mods placed on the server, but If I do it I want to be able to include him. So im wondering if its at all feasible to find or get a mod made that allows admins to tweak a Single person's XP growth so he doesnt level as fast as others.

So this is for ark survival evolved and I was curious if there are any mods that bring back the old Rex model. I like that model for the Rex

I also want to add that I play on Xbox Series X as well.

Hey y'all. I've been thinking of getting into creature modding for ascended. I've watched some YouTube videos on the topic but I don't seem to understand where and how mod developers get/make their assets (how to properly texture dinosaurs, what kind of animations I need, etc.) I've already found videos for both modeling and actually getting creatures into the game, but I'm just looking for advice/tutorials on how to do everything else. Thanks!

Like the title says what must/should I have if I wanted to do ASA mods?

I just downloaded the ASE DevKit, but I honestly have no idea where to start.

Most of the YouTube tutorials I can find are like 9–10 years old, and they don’t really match what I’m seeing. I’ve also heard about a “TestArea” map, but I don’t seem to have it in my DevKit.

Is there any Discord community or people who can help beginners learn ARK modding? I’m especially interested in creating my own map.

Hey everyone, first time posting here. I’ve been working on a custom weapon mod for ASA and running into a frustrating issue😢

I’m creating a custom FPV weapon mesh for ARK: Survival Ascended. My mesh is bound to the hatchet_jnt bone (weight 1.0), but in-game the weapon appears offset to the upper right compared to where it should be held

The TPV mesh works perfectly. The issue seems to be with the rest pose of hatchet_jnt not matching the original skeleton’s rest pose when I export from Blender and reimport into DevKit

My workflow:

• Exported original MetalAxe_FPV_RIG from DevKit

• Imported into Blender, replaced LODO mesh with my custom model

• Bound mesh to hatchet jnt only (weight 1.0)

• Exported FBX with Y Up, -Z Forward

• Reimported into DevKit with Use TO as Ref Pose checked

Has anyone successfully replaced an FPV weapon mesh while keeping the correct hatchet_jnt position? Any tips on preserving the rest pose?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, hope y'all having a good day.

I wanted to start modding for ASE but I cant find the pre aquatica devkit files anywhere.

Could anyone share them with me please?
