ARK: Survival Evolved

[RAZER]

We from Ludophiles have a ARK: Survival Evolved private server running (info: https://ludophiles.com/threads/ark-server.145/) but other then that there was no thread to be found on Ludophiles which had to change. I'll try to keep this thread up to date with updates and other stuff, but feel free to add your own of course.

Went over the Dossier of all the creatures today and it seems there are 74 of them (including the new one we got today, see below) most of which I have never seen before. So I guess I have some exploring to do.

Feel free to join us on our Ark server, the more the better.

So, today we get a new creature named the Procoptodon, which is basically a large Kangaroo

The map of the Ark. For a larger file go here:

Should we go and add interesting location to this map, so we know what can be found where?
Is there some kind of coordinate system in the game?

Made a little area for my dodo's to live.

 

[RAZER]

Tried my hand at breeding a dodo and little baby Eddy came out (with 2 other baby dodo's who died). It seems that getting a baby to go from baby to juvenile takes a lot of time and as it was ~2 am already I did not have time to complete the job. So, unfortunately Eddy died during the night . He will be missed.

 

[RAZER]

Made a few more signs, to find out the exact size of the image I can use. The Trike and Stego are still a bit large, but the rest are pretty good.

I don't think we'll need the exact coordinates. I inscribed the buildings known by me by reference to the natural environment. I'm not really sure about the "North Base" position. I remember it was at a point the cliff ends. @Darkjudges: please tell me if the entry is wrong. And I forgot the name of the island south-east. If there will be PVP in the future, we should hide this map somehow^^

 

[RAZER]

This is what I have so far

Yeah thats close enough ;-)

 

[RAZER]

So, any of you do any modding?

 

[Cryorvus]

Not since Half Life 1 and Quake 3 ^^

OK I'm almost finished with my farm, got:

• Narcoberries
• Stimberries
• Mejoberries
• Tintoberries
  
• Azulberries
• Amarberries
• Rockarrot
• Savoroot
• Longrass

Feel free to take what you need from the farm, but fill the 3 Compost Bins with poop and thatch if you have any to spare so I can maintain the crops.

If any of the dodo's laid any eggs take those too if you like, nice source of food.

Savoroot is pretty good food, they give you 20 food points, but spoil pretty fast, but for a long trip take a couple of dozen and you should be OK for a while

Introducing the Megalosaurus!
New creature in the ARK

Common Name: Megalosaurus
Species: Megalosaurus Noctedominus
Time: Mid Jurassic
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Aggressive Nocturnal

Wild

Much like the Island’s other large theropods, Megalosaurus Noctedominus is an aggressive carnivore that should not be taken lightly. Unlike most of the other theropods, it is a primarily nocturnal creature. As dawn approaches, Megalosaurus begins looking for a secluded place to spend the day sleeping in relative safety.

Conversely, if disturbed during the day, Megalosaurus is significantly more sluggish. Either way, however, its primary combat tactic is to bite onto its target then lock its jaws shut in an iron-strength grip.

Only larger creatures can hope to break free once Megalosaurus locks its jaw. The creature then proceeds to gnaw on its prey until death. It’s a terrifying, grisly spectacle to watch, and a formidable tactic for a tribe to employ against more nimble opponents.

Domesticated

While Megalosaurus is not the most powerful theropod, it is still highly sought after by night-raiders. Due to its nocturnal nature, Megalosaurus becomes much more formidable at night -- dodging attacks, conserving stamina, and attacking more accurately, to name a few of its enhanced talents.

 

[RAZER]

Next to various tweaks and fixes we got 2 new creatures today

 

[RAZER]

Note to self and everyone else: "Do not attack a Dimorphodon with a Carno" I barely got away, those birds are way to fast for the Carno to kill it, so it was a very close call.

So, made some Lazarus Chowder so I could stay under water a long time, took a dolphin and went out for pearls. Found out the underwater world is dangerous and died together with my dolphin

But if any of you need some Lazarus Chowder (makes you use oxygen at a speed of 15% of normal) let me know.

Tamed a Pteranodon yesterday and put it in the south base together with the one we already had. I used it to get Obsidian from the large vulcano. Pretty easy trip and you can get ~40 Obsidian or so. There is a lot of metal and crystal there too, but the Pteranodon can not carry that much load, so going to build up his strength so you can carry a bit more.

Also build a spot in the weather to store any fish I might tame, so fare I have none (and the one at the south base died because I let it be eaten). It should be relatively easy to tame them with Kibble, I know how to make now. So if anyone needs that let me know.
