Dino Dossier: Therizinosaur

Common Name: Therizinosaur
Species: Therizinosaur Multiensis
Time: Late Cretaceous
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Aggressive
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Yes

  • Wild: I’m not entirely sure how Therizinosaur Multiensis stays populated on the island. It is surprising slow for it’s size, and is a solitary creative (so no pack to back it up). I suppose the fact that it’s sheer power rivals Tyrannosaurus is the only thing that allows this very aggressive medium-sized herbivore to thrive on the island. The claws of Therizinosaur are some of the most versatile biological tools I’ve encountered, as adept at removing trees and foliage from Therizinosaur path as they are at piercing the thick shells and hide of the island’s most defensive creatures if backed into a fight.

  • Domesticated: A tamed Therizinosaur is one of the most versatile mounts a survivor can have. It can be trained to use it’s claws brutally or delicately, allowing the rider to primarily harvest the specific kinds of resources that he or she needs, with abnormally extreme of resource that he or she needs, with abnormally extreme efficiency. And in combat, these same claws can piece straight through. The toughest armor. This flexibility more than makes up for it’s inability to carry the large loads of the islands many herbivorous pack beasts.

Cheats- and Itemlist Update

We know, many of you want to take a quick peek through the items in singleplayer, before spending engram points in multiplayer. ARK offers this, but requires you to know the ID for the item.

Because ARK is still in early development, there are a lot of new items, every week.

We’ve updated the item and the cheat command lists today and added everything already implemented. Take a peek.

Thanks to Madman who always helps us with the ID lists in our forums. 🙂

Dino Dossier: Megaloceros

Common Name: Megaloceros
Species: Megaloceros Latuscoronam
Time: Pliocene
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Skittish
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Yes
  • Wild: Megaloceros Latuscoronam is a very skittish herbivore, found mostly in the forests and mountains of the island. Because of its large size, its fraught demeanor would be strange in any other place. But Megaloceros knows how fierce the predators if the island are, and knows that it is safer to flee from them than to risk its life in a fight.
  • Domesticated: Megaloceros is a jack-of-all-trades creature, and many who ride it value its versatility. It is decently powerful, and its resilience, speed, and ability to jump often come in handy. Finally, its charging horn attack tends to cause targets to "bleed", decreasing their health, stamina, and speed until healed!
  • Known Information: The horns of Megaloceros are very large, and make for an excellent source of Keratin. This, of course, makes it a valuable resource. Unfortunately, hunting Megaloceros is not easy because of their quick speed and ability to bound over most obstacles.

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 206.2

Very short, as usual for a minor release

  • Fixed rain vfx particles staying on, becoming detached, not disabling , etc
  • Linux Voice Chat should now work 🙂
  • Fixed potential server crash
  • Fixed client crash with translated options UI
  • Existing Structures can now always be “Replaced” even if they are considered “in range” of an enemy structure

Metal Glas Mod

Most people prefer a rigid base over a beautiful stylish home. This results in oppressive dark metal castles. This mod will change this by adding a new element: Transparent Metal.

These new walls / roofs have the same durability and effects like their massive counterparts, but they let your base receive the sunlight.

The recipe is only slightly modified. Replace some of the steel of a vanilla wall with crystal – and you’ve got the transparent equivalent.

Dino Dossier: Kaprosuchus

Common Name: Kaprosuchus
Species: Kaprosuchus Paludentium
Time: Late Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Aggressive
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Yes
  • Wild: A smaller relative of the Sarcosuchus, Kaprosuchus Paludentium is water-based carnivore primarily found lurking among the Island’s swamps. A naturally fast runner that is even faster in the water, it is a solitary hunter that picks off small-to-medium creatures especially those isolated from their pack. When attacking Kaprosuchus uses two main tactics. First, it patiently waits below the water surface and when the target is sufficiently close by, will perform a lateral jump that it uses to quickly close the distance with its prey and drag it underwater.
    Secondly, its attacks target the prey’s vital areas specifically to drain its stamina. These two techniques effectively prevent most creatures from escaping Kaprosuchus once an assault has begun.
  • Domesticated: Survivors are generally split about the usefulness of Kaprosuchus. Some love its speed both in and out of the water, essentially making it among the fastest small-sized all-terrain mounts when travelling through the wetlands. Others do not like how relatively frail Kaprosuchus is, and do not think its high speed and damaging attacks make up for this shortcoming.

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 205 – 205.3

Fixes

  • Fixed disappearing thrown Monkeys (we think)
  • Argentavis/birds client-side landing is back to how to used to be. — client-side only input change, you don’t need to relaunch your servers.
  • Doedicurus can roll again now — client-side only input change, you don’t need to relaunch your servers.

Server

  • Fixed a server crash on startup
  • ARK Server Manager & ARK Remote now support Remote Management/Mod Installation of Linux Servers!

 

SotF & Tournament

  • “Survival of the Fittest: Unnatural Selection” (Game Mode, Tournament… Ride the Dragon and Dominate the ARK!)
  • Survival of the Fittest servers can launch with “-gameplaylogging” commandline option to output a dated log file to \Saved folder, which will contain a timestamped kill & winners log listing steam id, steam name, character name, etc. Handy for automatic Tournament records…
  • ‘Unnatural Selection’ Tournament Build!
  • Optionally launch with ?EnableDeathTeamSpectator=true (or EnableDeathTeamSpectator in [ServerSettings] of INI) to allow non-admin SotF players to spectate attached to only their own living team members after death.

 

 

Remote View Security Monitor Mod Spotlight

CCTV may be something a few of you may already know. If not – no problem. We’ll explain you what a CCTV is, and how you can use it in ARK: Survival Evolved.
CCTV is short for Closed Circuit Television – a video surveillance system.

This mod allows you to add a camera to your base. Of course you need more than only a camera, so this mod also adds you the required television. Place it on a position of your choice and start viewing.
There is only one small little flaw in it: at the moment only ONE camera is allowed per user. We hope this limitation will be lifted in the next update.
