Salisbury Snape posted:Most of the servers I've played on have the custom recipes turned off, so I've never really used them, apparently they used to be mega op and could sate your water, food, health and stamina. Maybe it's been adjusted, but I also have no idea how much effort it was to craft. They still are pretty hilariously broken. The raw meat and water ones, with a max level max craft would give you like 50 HP, 100 food and water, for like 10 or 12 raw meat and water in an industrial cooker. It was like peak lazy mode, empty giga into cooker, wait, profit. If you used fancier stuff, you could get food that gave you like a permanent regenerative effect, because it tried to slowly heal you for like 700 hp, and as long as it never hit full, it would just tick up forever.

10 meat + 10 element dust on max craft will give you like +700 hp/stam/food but im not sure if it ticks away forever anymore, it seems like when you max out it stops ticking?

At least compared to more traditional fighting tames.

Because my Drake just murders EVERYTHING in about 2-3 bites. Only tame that does more damage is my Lightning Wyvern. Edit: Could be right though since my Spino also does a lot of dps. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Aug 17, 2020 |

I've found rexes have bigger bites for the speed, and things like spinos are quicker for nearly the same damage. The drake's animation takes so long that I'm pretty sure just about any of my fightman dinos (Rexes, Theris, Velonasaur, and Deinon) will outbid it in a DPS race. A big part of this is the same problem wyverns have: you can't get bonus levels from taming efficiency. Either way, the drake does its job for me--crazy taxi. BRB painting my drake yellow and black.

IS there a way to make your auto turrets come back online automatically after an electrical storm? I'm having to go around and turn them back on manually every time and it's annoying.

Not automatically afaik but the offline guard system structure from the workshop mod has a neat feature that lets you turn off or on every turret within the shields radius.

That's very useful to know, saves a lot of time. Are the liquefied indominus rexes able to breed or get mate boost bonuses? When I see them in the desert they have N/A for their gender.

Nah, they can't mate boost. breed or be imprinted as a balancing measure, they are pretty drat nasty even without those bonuses.

Goons Ruin Everything - Server Update Ragnarok steam://connect/104.192.226.130:27039 Discord: https://discord.gg/uaPn6z6 First the past few weeks I've been hosting a goon Ragnarok server, testing out different settings and mods.

Ark's currently on sale on Steam for 80% off, so for anyone who's been wanting to pick it up cheap, now's the time. If you want to play on the goon server, all you need is the base game for 10bux, however the explorers edition is a pretty nice purchase as well, giving you the first 3 dlc as well for an extremely cheap price.

I play on Windows 10, so no mods. I'm on Valguero and these days I can pretty reliably beat the gamma bosses, so I want to give the betas a try. My rexes all have like 300% damage and 16000 hp, so not even close to enough. I want to breed some new tougher rexes, get some mutations, but I have to hatch like 25 eggs to get one mutant. Is this really the best way to get beta-boss-quality rexes? Also, is there an easy way to tell which stat is mutated? I really wish I was on steam, I know there are great breeding mods, but sadly I'm stuck on Win10. As a side now, I'm considering switching maps since Valguero has been fully explored. Does anyone else rent server space from Nitrado? Do you know the best way to switch maps while saving all your structures and dinos on your old map, so you can come back to it?

Yeah without mods you're just going to have to hatch a shitzillion rexes and slowly build up a mutation line. You can adjust rates so that breeding and maturing new dinos is fast, but it's still going to be a slog. I'm not sure 100% how Nitrado works but changing maps is as simple as changing the console-line launch command to pick a different map, your existing maps are saved wholly so there's no issue switching to and from. You'll need multiple servers in a cluster if you wish to run more than one map concurrently. Nitrado is pretty expensive in my opinion compared to other hosts, if you do decide to go down the server cluster route there's some pretty cheap, competitive options out there.

I really wish I was on steam, I know there are great breeding mods, but sadly I'm stuck on Win10. You can also go and try to hunt for high stats. On vanilla, you really want to be starting your mutation lines with lots of wild levels in melee and HP because of how big of a pain in the dick it is. You might even be able to get away with just finding some high wild stats in HP, Stam, and Damage, mashing them together, and throwing a good saddle on it. Problem with unmodded Ark is that even with favorable multipliers, time is still not on your side.

You can cheese a giga into most boss arenas if you so want. Leave enough space around the terminal for a giga to pop out of cryo and yeet it down when the timer ticks from 1 to 0 It makes alpha ragnarok boss a breeze since the giga can run around munching golems and keep your rexes unpinned to munch the dragon and manticore when they land.

so I can access Nitrado via ftp to download a backup file (and I have a shitload of HDD space so that's not a problem), and that'll let me swap to Crystal Isles. Nice. My next question is: to anyone who's done this, what stuff gets saved? I assume bases, dinos in bases, items in bases etc. Characters? Items on characters? Not sure.

HostHavoc I've been using for years now, 15usd for a 30 slot server with dedicated hardware, extremely fast ticket response times and 100% uptime. TCafmin control panel as standard. Clustering is free and they have US, EU and AU server locations. ark servers.io is another good pick for 16usd per month, their server config is custom written and easily allows you to change every possible variable in a simple GUI, mod installation is an absolute breeze and in general thier control panel is miles ahead of TCadmin. They also have an 8-hour free trial, after that you can choose to rent a server to continue playing. nightwisher fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Sep 6, 2020 |

Everything on the map is saved to the maps own save file. Characters are separate to map data so they are usable no matter the map and retain their inventory, stats and exp. Switching maps in a server context is practically identical to switching maps in single player. Unless Nitrado do something different, it should work fine.

I've not tested the tame limit, I just play on the side of caution and take 19 tames leaving the extra slot for the giga if it gets through. I always run the best shotgun I've got to smack the manticore anyway. Generally off the back of a yuti with some movement speed since they are fast as gently caress and can just peg it around the arena with impunity buffing the rexes.

So after two failed attempts at soloing Rockwell because I have poo poo situational awareness of the orbs, I press-ganged 3 other people from my cluster to help out, and boy howdy do extra bodies make that fight easy. Two of them on orb duty, two of us on tentacle duty, and 12 megalosaurus on Rockwell himself. No casualties, only a couple points of armor damage, and some alpha ascensions all around.

So yeah. Dino Storage v2 is impossibly OP. Just died doing something stupid un the Lava Cave with my one Rock Drake when we fell in the lava she was likely gonna die. I just used admin soul recovery and BAM, back like nothing. I had already known this would work since I did it before when I lost a Bulbdog on a mountain in Valguero(found her afterwards) and it also works as a "Dino Dupe".

Or at least, I think you can. I know it's not an option on my cluster.

No loving way am I gonna spend hundreds of hours on a breeding program to take on the bosses even with my boosted numbers when I just "clone" my tames. Also, losing any of them breaks my heart so there's that too. I did lose one of my REALLY good ghillie suits though which sucked. Funny thing about the Rock Drake is that she was swimming in the lava and taking damage obviously so in the time it took me to fly over there with the duped Drake and get to her, she had only lost something like a 1/3 of her of her HP, definitely less than half by the time I managed to get her out due to the MASSIVE health pool she had. To allow it, you just need to give yourself admin privileges. At least that's how I recall it working for me on ASM.

Just note that if you're using nitrado for an Xbox cross play server you can't transfer dinos back to a pc dedicated host, or access any of the files. I was trying to roll everything back to my own pc hosted server but you can't cluster it, and supposedly Microsoft won't let nitrado hand out the save data.

I'm not sure where the 6x structure damage multiplier stops in that cave entrance, I thought it extended until it opened up just past where you are talking about but I may be wrong. On one PvP Val server I built up on a flat section on the edge of the map south of the swamp area right against the map border wall. People only saw it if they could fly and were looking at the ridge.
