The second official mod, Primitive+, will launch directly within ARK: Survival Evolved on Thursday, July 28 for both PC and Xbox One players!

Primitive+ explores the idea of what life may be like with common-day knowledge and resources provided by the land. It incorporates primitive tools and techniques that are still being used by indigenous tribes around the world today!

Players are challenged to use primarily wood and stone without the benefit of advanced metals. A whole new set of items and detailed new mechanics focus the player on ‘primitive’ survival, which fits snugly in the world of ARK. Primitive+ will be playable as a functionality mod on all official ARK maps.

The mod will include:

• Over 100 primitive-themed structures
• 3 ancient building tiers (adobe, lumber, brick & cement)
• Diverse resource system – live off the land with 40 different resources
• Primitive trapping system (deadfall trap / fishing traps)
• Advanced farming – 10 historic crops and resources (Wheat, Barley, Coffee, Tea, etc)
• 11 iconic weapons (Flintlock pistol, Musket, Viking Axe, Battleaxe, etc)
• 60 types of food recipes to craft
• Enhanced role-playing experience (market stalls for trading, meals, etc)

With even more update and features to come!

On the E3 the new Total Conversion Mod – ARK: Primal Survival was shown and now here is the Youtube-Video.

 

 

ARK: Primal Survival is an upcoming Total Conversion where survivors will be able to play, live, and breed as any of the ARK’s creatures! Survivors will experience full survival mechanics and lifecycles, including mating, growing, recruiting more creatures to your ‘pack,’ even constructing primitive dens.

Playing Primal Survival, which will launch later this year on PC and Xbox One as an Official Total Conversion, will allow survivors to experience:

•  Live life as a Raptor, communicate and coordinate tactical attacks on other species.
• Spend your nights creepily crawling around the caves as the Araneo, catching your victims with your web spinning ability and spraying them paralyzing venom, while laying eggs to expand your brood!

  

 

• Work together as one to execute strategic attacks alongside your pack to chase and takedown prey! Train and protect your young through the harsh winters so that they are ready to join the hunt by the time they are full grown adults.

  

• Cuddle up with your cubs and forget about your worries and your strife whilst you spend the day fishing, wandering and roaming the land with your sleuth.

  

• Experience the ARK through the eyes of a Titanomyrma, building a thriving colony centered around ‘ant hills’, and survive against the elements and the dangers that the island brings!

  

• Furthermore the new functionality associated with this Primal Survival mode will also enable mod creators to build much more intricate mods involving playing as these various creatures and detailing their lifecycles & survival mechanics, with new capabilities for creating asymmetric gameplay modes. ;)!
