Dino Dossier: Leedsichthys

Common Name Leedsichthys
Species Leedsichthys conviviumbrosia
Time Mid-Jurassic
Diet Piscivore
Temperament Defensive
Domestication
Tameable No
  • Wild: Leedsichthys conviviumbrosia is probably the largest fish in the waters around the island. Its meat is also extremely succulent, a surprise given its size. It is often traded with the same value as Prime Meat, and colloquially called 'Prime Fish'. Of course, not all of Leedsichthys' meat is this high quality, but most of it is!

  • Domesticated: Despite its large size, and the fact that it may well be strong enough to carry heavy loads, Leedsichthys does not appear to be intelligent enough to tame. Never the less, some large tribes keep an enormous pen with a few Leedsichthys trapped inside for cultivating purposes, as bits of Prime Fish can be repeatedly scraped off the gargantuan beast without killing it!

  • Known Information: While the demand for Leedsichthys meat is high, the fish is notoriously difficult to track and hunt. Between its large size, powerful attacks, incredible speed (when it turns to flee), and humankind's general ineptitude on open water, actually killing a Leedsichthys is one of the Island's more difficult tasks. The hunt for an extremely elusive breed of the fish, the fabled 'Great Albino' Leedsichthys has been known to drive otherwise-sensible men and women mad with obsession, as if all evil were visibly personified and made practically assailable in this one creature.

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 223.4

Unversioned Hotfix: Fixed another way the server could crash on data load if mod items were removed.

  • Protected against a crash involving improperly setup zone spawns affecting some Mod maps such as ‘Shigo Islands’

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 223.2 & 223.3

223.2

Unversioned Client Hotfixes: Fixed particle fx not appearing on junction boxes after reloading save games in singleplayer. Fixed issue with spawn points not aligning to minimap on custom levels that had altered minimscap scales.

  • Organic Polymer now spoils after 30 minutes, can only be stacked to 10, and clamped “overdamage” on the harvesting of Organic Polymer. It now also kills humans if they eat it, a primitive form of cyanide pill (don’t worry, an actual concealed pill item will be forthcoming 😉

223.3

  • Fixed a crash that could occur when initializing inventories if previously active item Mods have been disabled/removed

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 223.0 & 223.1

  • New Structures, Catapult, Minigun Turret
  • Creature “Fur” pass
  • Tiered Server Admin, Wildcard Admin, & Tribe Admin Nametag Icons

    bPvEAllowTribeWarCancel=true

222.9

Dino Dossier: Troodon

Common Name Troodon
Species Troodon magnanimus
Time Late Cretaceous
Diet Carnivore
Temperament Nocturnally Aggressive
Domestication
Tameable Yes
Rideable No
  • Wild: Quite possibly the most intelligent non-human creature on the island, Troodon magnanimus is an incredibly fast learner. It understands meaningful experiences much more quickly than other creatures (including humans), and its social nature means it also teaches its packmates, making them more clever too!

  • Domesticated: I thought Troodon simply could not be tamed, until I finally saw a lone survivor with one. She told me that she let "Troody" hunt a few of her tribe's smaller creatures for sport, and it eventually started following her everywhere. It seems that while Troodon is too intelligent to fall for the rote conditioning of 'tranq-and-feed', it can instead gradually gain loyalty from a social approach that provides it the opportunity to hunt. Ever since, I have wondered at the benefits that a pack of ultra-smart, bred-for-battle Troodon may bring to a tribe brave enough to earn the favor of these clever carnivores.

  • Known Information: If Troodon's cleverness didn't make it formidable, then its tactics and biology do. It specifically pack-hunts at night when we are most vulnerable, and sees humans as its primary prey. This audacity is especially dangerous due to its serrated fangs' poison, which drains stamina from any creature, but outright paralyses humans. Thankfully, Troodon is fairly small. Were it larger, it might well have become the dominant creature of its ecosystem.

Drops

  • Raw Meat

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 222.7

– Fixed Lock-All PvE Tribute Terminals being Locked 😉
Giganotosaurus Rage Mode will no longer target other Giganotosaurus’ on the same team

ARK: Survival Evolved Patch 222.6

Unversioned Hotfix: Holding [E] from accessing the Activation Wheel to open Inventory Menu will no longer cause the Inventory Menu to instantly close.

Changes

  • On servers with “ForceAllStructureLocking” (PvE etc), such structures are now locked by default
  • Option for Total Conversions to only list specific level filenames in the play game menu, not all levels. Since potentially a TC will include its own maps, or may not work with generic custom maps.
  • Option for Total Conversion to only list specific Mod ID’s, since often most Mods will not work properly with a TC.
  • Option for Total Conversions to default to “unofficial” server list rather than Official Server list (defaults to TRUE, since only SotF is a TC that uses Official Servers currently)

Fixes

  • Fixed inability for flyers to drop carried ‘mounted’ dinosaurs if they became dismounted while carried
  • Fixed case where giganotosaurus could still stand on rafts/platform structures
  • Fixed a potential client crash with the new optimized occlusion system
