Game Update v200

Hi! Wow, we sure have come a long way together with ARK since it went Early Access on June 2nd! v200 is here...

We have skipped a few versions, jumping from v196 to v200, to better coincide with the release of the new Survival of the Fittest game mode, Total Conversions, as well as the ARK Server Management Tool!

We got the Re-Fertiliser back in v196, and it allows survivors to regrow foliage which were once harvested, including bushes, trees, and even rocks!

In v200, the SotF game mode is ready for everyone to play! To do so, make sure you download the Total Conversion of SotF from the Steam Workshop. Once it has been installed, you should see the Total Conversion appear at the bottom right of the main menu in ARK!

Click it to relaunch the game using SotF as the Total Conversion to load, and then off you go! Find servers which are running SotF to join the fun!

And if you are a server admin, be sure to check out the ARK Server Management Tool which was just released! You now have an actual GUI to tweak server settings, load Total Conversions, and run the servers, among other things! Very convenient! :)

Coming soon is v201, in which players will find a new creature - Gigantopithecus! Here's a sneak preview!


Check it out! According to one of the developers, Drake, it can be tamed non-violently, survivors can ride on its back, and it has full movement capabilities, even being able to strafe! If that's not enough, it can autonomously gather fibre en masse, and can be equipped with hats and helmets! Cool!

Also, the scuba gear set is almost ready! Soon, survivors can properly prep themselves for a dive in the sea!
